"It's good that our team is reunited again. We should have given ourselves a name long ago."
"Yeah, let's call ourselves the Hailstorm Adventure Squad!"
"Hailstorm, have some shame!"
"Alright, stop arguing. After the assessment, we can register our team at the mission hall. Many missions can be accepted in the name of a team."
Wan Qianxin stopped their bickering.
"Follow me, everyone. I'm familiar with this place; I've been here twice already." Wan Lei led the way at the front, directing the group.
"You're familiar? Heh, we've lived here for over a decade, grew up here. You know it better than us?"
"I..."
Just as Wan Lei was thinking about how to retort, he suddenly saw a vast procession of disciples behind them.
In just over half a year, this was Wan Lei's third trip to the assessment location, and he had been extremely busy. However, the disciples of the Five Elements Hall were even busier than him.
As dedicated NPCs, they diligently fulfilled their duty of witnessing any spectacle.
The number of people present this time was far greater than when Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu had undergone their assessments.
Everyone was eager to know just how strong the Immortal Venerables' children were, and whether they could surpass the results of Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu.
"Brother Wan! Brother Wan!"
From behind, a familiar shout echoed. Without even looking back, they knew it had to be Xiao Jin, the "Five Elements Hall's Little Informant," who always showed up wherever there was excitement.
"Brother Jin is here."
Wan Lei greeted him with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's been a while, and I've missed you dearly, Brother Wan. Are these the Immortal Venerables' children?"
"Yes, that's right. The one on the far left, who acts like he's the best in the world but often gets beaten, is the Golden Immortal Venerable's son, Xia Yubing. The second one, dressed in black and always pretending to be profound, is the Earth Immortal Venerable's son, Wan Qianxin. The most beautiful and lovely little fairy is the Water-Fire Immortal Venerable's daughter, Han Xiaoyun. And the cutest one is the Wood Immortal Venerable's daughter, Bao Bao."
"Wan Lei, are you not afraid of getting beaten saying things like that? How have you survived this long?"
Xia Yubing's forehead was covered in black lines.
"Wan Lei, the introductions are too different! What about gender equality?"
"Heh, I only believe in the distinction between sexes, never in gender equality."
"Hello, I am Jin Pinglai, a disciple of the Sword Hall."
Xiao Jin was a little nervous, but he still introduced himself enthusiastically.
After all, they were the Immortal Venerables' children, far more influential than Wan Lei.
This was the first time Wan Lei truly knew Xiao Jin's name. He felt a bit ashamed; Xiao Jin had helped him so much, and he didn't even know his name.
Xiao Jin chatted with the Immortal Venerables' children very familiarly, while the latter, with their own pride, treated Xiao Jin with indifference.
Their good relationship with Wan Lei was also because they had fought side-by-side, understood his strength and character. Don't forget that they were quite arrogant when they first met Wan Lei.
Wan Lei and his group of ten, leading the mighty army of the Five Elements Hall, arrived at the South Gate. The first order of business was to find Elder Jin to register their information and test their potential.
"Oh my, we have distinguished guests today! Wan Lei, you step aside. You're obstructing my old self from admiring the presence of the Immortal Venerables' children."
The old man spoke with a hearty laugh, nudging Wan Lei aside to get out of the way.
"I'm the strongest disciple in the Five Elements Hall, old man. Please show me some respect."
"So what if you're the strongest disciple? Don't you still have to register with me? Come, come, children, one by one."
This time, a total of seven people participated in the assessment: the Four Little Ones, Fire Phoenix, Qing Wu, and Da Da.
This made Yuan Jun incredibly envious.
After registering their information, it was time for everyone's most anticipated part: the potential test.
The Four Little Ones generously allowed the other three to go first.
After all, the most impressive should appear last, to maximize the impact of their swagger.
The first to be tested was Da Da. His potential was just over eighty grids, barely reaching the heaven-defying level.
This was also the first time Da Da knew his potential was so high. His family was only a minor one in the Divine Realm; the strongest they had ever produced was a Seven-Star Divine Clan, holding no real status, with extremely limited resources. Thus, it took him over a thousand years to break through to a Six-Star Divine Clan.
Next were the tests for Fire Phoenix and Qing Wu.
Fire Phoenix illuminated eighty-one grids, while Qing Wu lit up eighty-nine grids, her potential far surpassing Fire Phoenix's.
It was understandable when one thought about it. After all, Fire Phoenix had cultivated for over a thousand years on the Sacred Fire Continent. Although she had been asleep for most of that time, it was still a considerable period.
Her cultivation time was similar to Da Da's, so their potential was also similar.
As for Qing Wu and Yuan Jun, they were only in their early twenties this year, even younger than Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, who were nearing thirty.
These two women becoming top powerhouses on the Sacred Fire Continent in their twenties clearly demonstrated their immense potential.
Yuan Jun couldn't wait and secretly snuck over to test himself, illuminating a full ninety grids.
This truly was a heaven-defying team.
Next up were the Four Little Ones' tests. The registration room was swarming with people, packed shoulder-to-shoulder.
The first to be tested was Xia Yubing. As he placed his hand on it, the respective grids on the stone tablet lit up rapidly, soon reaching the maximum level.
Wan Lei quickly pulled Xia Yubing's hand away, afraid he would shatter the stone tablet.
A cheer erupted from the crowd – another Origin-level potential discovered at the testing grounds!
Afterward, Han Xiaoyun was tested, followed by Bao Bao and Wan Qianxin. Without exception, all four had Origin-level potential!
"When did Origin-level potential become so common? In the past, it took tens of millions of years to produce one, and now there are six in one year!"
"Truly astonishing. This is the power of Immortal Venerables' children."
"The great era of contention has arrived. We must cultivate diligently, otherwise, we will surely be left behind by these true prodigies."
Wan Lei was not surprised in the slightest by the Four Little Ones' Origin-level potential. After all, the Immortal Venerables had reshaped their genes, so it would be strange if their children weren't Origin-level.
The group majestically exited the registration room, the ten of them walking side-by-side with an unrecognizably swaggering gait.
All around them, disciples were gathered to watch.
Suddenly, a commotion and exclamations arose from the distance.
Everyone looked up and saw over a dozen Fire Hall disciples, their clothes tattered and their appearances disheveled, suddenly appearing there.
"You're the group who went to the Molten Death Domain on a mission? Is this all that's left of you?"
Someone asked in surprise.
However, the Fire Hall disciples paid no attention to the questions, their eyes fixed squarely on the group of ten.
"It's them! They are the ones who killed dozens of our fellow disciples in the Molten Death Domain. This is a team of murderers, all here, not a single one missing!"
"Fellow disciples, please join forces to capture them and avenge our fallen comrades!"
