After writing down his name, Shen Tu Nantian felt uneasy, but he also felt a trace of anticipation.
The light gradually gathered and behind the words "Shen Tu Nantian", a blurry word was formed. The strokes of the word looked like …
"Grandmaster"?
Shen Tu Nantian's eyebrows pricked up. He was neither happy nor disappointed. He could only say that it conformed to the norm.
"Grandmaster" was one level higher than the black-dressed woman from before, so it was not considered amazing.
No one knew how big the gap was between "Grandmaster" and the higher "Soul". Maybe the gap was so huge that no cultivator present could surpass "Grandmaster".
After all, there were only six levels, and each level spanned a great distance. Even two people with a great difference in talent could be placed in the same level.
"If not for that kid … I might have reached" Soul "…" Shen Tu Nantian thought angrily.
And at this moment, the word "Grandmaster" was becoming more and more obvious. It was already certain that it was Shen Tu Nantian's talent.
But … at this moment, Shen Tu Nantian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He felt like all his blood had frozen. A faint black gas appeared on Shen Tu Nantian's face.
This black gas was like a tiny venomous snake. It flashed on Shen Tu Nantian's face before disappearing under Shen Tu Nantian's skin.
Shen Tu Nantian did not notice the sudden appearance of the black snake. The others did not see it either, as they did not have the ability to see it.
Only Yi Yun could see it clearly.
"It's that evil energy?"
Yi Yun was slightly stunned as he stroked his chin with an odd expression.
More than half a year ago, Yi Yun had seen the evil energy contained in the Great Empress relic at the relic trial. He had used the Purple Crystal to control the energy and sent it into Shen Tu Nantian's body.
Yi Yun did not know what other harm the evil energy would do to the human body other than reducing one's lifespan. Since the experimental subject was Shen Tu Nantian, Yi Yun was happy to see the evil energy wreak havoc.
During the Great Empress mystic realm trials, when Yi Yun met Shen Tu Nantian again, he felt that Shen Tu Nantian had an additional violent demonic aura. It was as if he had cultivated some demonic technique.
This aura was likely related to Shentu Nantian being tortured by Yi Yun more than half a year ago, causing his personality to change drastically. However, it could also be caused by the evil energy.
Now, when Shen Tu Nantian was testing his talent, Yi Yun saw the evil energy appear once again. Following that, Yi Yun opened his energy vision. In the energy vision, no one could see the tiny black snake. It was like a parasitic spirit swimming around Shen Tu Nantian's body.
It passed through Shen Tu Nantian's brain and followed the spinal cord all the way down to the Dantian. It circled around the Dantian a few times, and without anyone noticing, it took away a sliver of Shen Tu Nantian's vitality...
Yi Yun felt that compared to more than half a year ago, the tiny black snake seemed to have grown a lot stronger. However, it had yet to develop intelligence. Be it devouring energy or growing, it followed its own instincts.
Under such circumstances, Yi Yun could still use the Purple Crystal to control it and extract it from Shen Tu Nantian's body. Of course, Yi Yun would definitely not do that.
Following the appearance of the black snake that no one could see, the words on the crystal pillar underwent a bizarre change!
The "Sect" character that had almost taken shape suddenly blurred, and the strokes scattered like tadpoles.
"Oh?"
Shen Tu Nantian was stunned. He watched helplessly as the scattered beams of light gathered together once again. But this time, the word it condensed into was different!
That word was … "Knight"!?
Shen Tu Nantian was stunned. He could not believe what he was seeing.
The words became clearer. It was clearly the word "Knight"!
From the "Grandmaster" word, it had become … "Knight"!
What!?
Shen Tu Nantian felt like he had been struck by lightning. His body froze in front of the crystal pillar.
"Knight"!
My talent is only the lowest level of "Knight"!?
Shen Tu Nantian could not accept this reality. His blood was speeding up as it surged towards his face.
How can I only be "Knight"? There must be a mistake! It was clearly written as "Grandmaster" in the beginning, so why did it change!?
Shen Tu Nantian's blood was in turmoil. He even wanted to pull out his sword and cleave the crystal pillar apart!
Of course, he did not have the guts.
"Even Shen Tu Nantian is a" Knight "!"
"He is just short of advancing a level. The crystal pillar's standards are too high."
People began discussing with different thoughts.
Most of them were gloating. As a top genius of the Tian Yuan world, Shen Tu Nantian was not much stronger than them, so they had nothing to be discontented about.
"Powerful! Powerful! " At this moment, the swarthy youth suddenly jumped up in the crowd. "This Young master Nantian is indeed different. He nearly reached the level of 'Grandmaster'! Applause! Applause! "
As the swarthy youth spoke, he began clapping his hands while dancing. However, this clapping was no doubt a blatant mockery in Shen Tu Nantian's ears.
"Kid, you are courting death!"
Shen Tu Nantian's eyes turned red as he looked at the dark-skinned kid who was clapping. If not for the Great Empress mystic realm's restrictions, he really wanted to cut off the idiot's head.
The swarthy youth jumped in fright. He no longer dared to clap. His half-silly look made many people snicker.
Of course, they were not laughing at the swarthy youth, but at Shen Tu Nantian.
"Hmph!"
Shen Tu Nantian coldly grunted and walked down the crystal pillar. Before he left, he gave Yi Yun a deep glance. His eyes were filled with cold killing intent. Clearly, Shen Tu Nantian had attributed his failure in the evaluation to the Seven Noxious Divine Yin Pill that Yi Yun had fed him.
However, how could the Seven Noxious Divine Yin Pill have such a strong effect?
Yi Yun chuckled in his heart. He never expected that the evil energy would be so powerful. It made Yi Yun recall the stories of demons that parasitized humans and sucked their blood and soul energy. This black snake was even more terrifying than a typical demon. It could devour the host's life force and Yuan Qi without the host knowing it. Even Shen Tu Nantian's talent had been forcefully reduced by it.
"What is this Great Empress relic made of? Could the most crucial ingredient be found by the Shen Tu family clan in the Great Empress mystic realm? If not, how could it be so strange? "
From the notes of the Desolate Heaven Master who wanted to cure the ancient Great Empress's terminated meridians, the ancient Great Empress did not consume the relic. Then, since ancient times, the only people who had consumed the Great Empress relic were Shen Tu Nantian and Yi Yun.
Of course, Yi Yun had absorbed the essence of the Great Empress relic, while Shen Tu Nantian had absorbed the evil side.
If others took the risk, Yi Yun would split the spoils. If Yi Yun took the risk, others would take the bullet.
This was Yi Yun's principle.
