The test of innate talent was even broadcast live. Signal transmission was carried out by drones flying overhead, allowing the base on the other side of the portal to also watch the live stream.
People from Long Country who were not working at the portal base were gathered in the canteen watching the live broadcast.
Some were eating while watching the live broadcast of the talent test.
"If we were to take the test, what do you think our talent would be?"
"You want to test? You have to cultivate the "Qi Refining True Manual" to the Qi Refining stage first."
"..."
During the live broadcast,
The staff member standing next to Su Han began to call out names.
"Zhang San"
A person from Long Country who had reached the early stage of Qi Refining walked up and touched the talent stone.
The cultivation talent testing array already displayed the calculation of these talent grades.
The staff member looked at the array display on the talent stone and announced, "Earth Spiritual Root, Grade 3."
Upon hearing that he had an Earth Spiritual Root of Grade 3, Zhang San showed no particular reaction. After all, according to the intelligence received, this kind of Grade 3 spiritual root was said to take six months to cultivate to the Qi Refining stage. Zhang San remembered that it only took him two months to reach the Qi Refining stage. He had thought he had a Grade 4 spiritual root. He hadn't expected to have a Grade 3 spiritual root. So, for a moment, Zhang San was a little disappointed.
Zhang San walked off. Then, the second person came up.
Zhang San looked at the second person. The second person had taken three months to cultivate to the Qi Refining stage.
Zhang San thought to himself: Calculating it this way, my spiritual root should be higher than his! Well, it's also possible that our spiritual roots are the same.
The staff member saw the display on the cultivator talent test and said, "Li Si, Water Spiritual Root, Grade 4."
Zhang San found it a bit strange. Why would Li Si, whose cultivation speed was slower than his, have a higher-grade spiritual root than him?
While in doubt, another person soon went up to touch the talent stone.
"Wang Wu, Metal Spiritual Root, Grade 5."
Zhang San looked at Wang Wu. He remembered that Wang Wu took one month to cultivate to the Qi Refining stage. Truly worthy of a Grade 5 spiritual root.
"Zhao Liu, Grade 6 Wood Spiritual Root."
There was an uproar around. It was actually a Grade 6 spiritual root.
"It's actually a Grade 6 spiritual root!"
"I can't believe it's a Grade 6 spiritual root!"
"It's strange. Zhang San is Grade 3, Li Si is Grade 4, Wang Wu is Grade 5, and Zhao Liu is Grade 6. Does the number in the name correspond to the grade of the spiritual root?"
"So, can I change my name to Billion now?"
"The highest grade for a spiritual root is nine. How could there be a billion grades?"
"..."
Amidst their discussions, the seventh person soon arrived.
"Qian Qi, Fire Spiritual Root, Grade 6."
As expected, Qian Qi's spiritual root had nothing to do with his name.
Then, these people continued to undergo spiritual root tests. After testing twenty people, they all had spiritual roots from Grade 3 to Grade 6.
Finally, with the twenty-first person.
"Ku Wan'er, Earth Spiritual Root, Grade 7!"
There was another uproar. After all, this was the first time a Grade 7 spiritual root had appeared.
This Ku Wan'er with a Grade 7 spiritual root had already cultivated to the middle stage of Qi Refining.
Next, the following ten people continued to have spiritual roots from Grade 3 to Grade 6.
When it came to the thirty-second person, another Grade 7 spiritual root appeared.
Soon, all forty-two people had been tested. Next up was the eight members of the Special Operations Team.
The first to come up was Ye Fan.
"Ye Fan, Metal Spiritual Root, Grade 7."
Then came Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, Fire Spiritual Root, Grade 7."
The people behind them also came up one after another to touch the talent stone for cultivation talent testing.
"Lin Dong, Wood Spiritual Root, Grade 7."
"Zi Han, Water Spiritual Root, Grade 7."
"Zhou Xiaoyue, Water Spiritual Root, Grade 7."
"He Guizang, Earth Spiritual Root, Grade 8."
Upon hearing Grade 8, the people present were surprised.
"Grade 8, this is Grade 8. Truly impressive."
"He Guizang is actually Grade 8. It's no wonder he's been cultivating in the Taoist temple since childhood."
Then, under the gaze of the crowd, Chu Shi walked to the talent stone.
In the Otherworld Development Department, besides Su Han and Li Chengfu, he was the one. In most of the explored worlds, Chu Shi handled all the tasks. People around were very concerned about what grade spiritual root Chu Shi would have.
Zhang San, watching from below, saw Chu Shi go up on stage and thought: Chu Shi, I wonder what grade he will have? Could it be Grade 9?
Those watching the live broadcast were also discussing what grade Chu Shi would have.
"Based on this progression, Chu Shi's grade should be Grade 7."
"I think he can reach Grade 8."
"I think it should be Grade 9."
"..."
Amidst these discussions, Chu Shi touched the talent stone with his hand. The talent stone lit up. This brightness was even brighter than He Guizang's talent stone.
"Chu Shi, Sky Spiritual Root, Grade 9."
There was a general uproar.
"Sky Spiritual Root? What kind of spiritual root is this?"
"Didn't you see? The Sky Spiritual Root is said to be able to cultivate any elemental technique. The cultivation world guides say that a Sky Spiritual Root is extremely rare, appearing in only one out of tens of millions of people."
Those watching the live broadcast were also curious about what a Sky Spiritual Root was.
Immediately, a staff member beside them explained: "Greetings, Long Country citizens watching the live broadcast. I will now explain what a Sky Spiritual Root is. A Sky Spiritual Root can cultivate any attribute-based technique, and there are very few bottlenecks in cultivation. Moreover, because it is Grade 9, the cultivation speed is also very fast. As you can see, Chu Shi, despite only dedicating a small amount of time from his busy work schedule, was able to cultivate to the middle stage of Qi Refining. This shows the power of the Sky Spiritual Root."
Those watching the live broadcast and those present were all shocked by the explanation. There was actually such a spiritual root. Could Chu Shi surpass those two Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the future?
Chu Shi, who was being discussed, remained calm and composed, showing no smile despite the power of his spiritual root.
Su Han waited for three minutes of discussion before walking to the talent stone.
The scene quieted down again. The protagonist had finally arrived. Everyone present believed that Su Han would also have the highest grade, a Grade 9 spiritual root. After all, only Su Han had cultivated to the perfection stage of Qi Refining. This cultivation speed seemed to far exceed the records for Grade 9.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Han placed his hand on the talent stone. The talent stone lit up instantly, and the brightness overwhelmed the entire hall.
Everyone present was temporarily blinded.
It took a long time for people to recover from their blinded state.
"Too powerful, that brightness could rival a flashbang!"
"What's going on with this brightness? It's even brighter than the Grade 9 brightness just now."
The staff member beside him looked at the display on the cultivator talent testing array and said in surprise, "This is...!! Su Han..."
