Among the crowd, only Wang Luoqiu had never once considered vying for the position of the Transcendent Sacred Master from the beginning to the end.

It couldn’t be helped; the internal competition within the Wang family was too intense, with freaks and geniuses emerging in an endless stream.

Since joining the Academic Palace, Luoqiu had participated in numerous exchange activities with other peaks and branches, as well as those between Longzuo Academy and other academies. Her performances had always been dazzling, occasionally even winning first place.

Her fame within the Academy and the Sacred Lands was built largely through these accomplishments.

In the process, she had become the eldest sister of her generation at the Glass Bright King’s Hall.

Outsiders saw her as incredibly dominant and gloriously successful. Even the new core disciples within the Glass Bright King’s Hall often looked at her with eyes full of admiration and worship, but only she knew that her achievements meant nothing within the Wang family.

With those freaks around, even if she was brimming with confidence and felt that she would eventually become an empress, she still deemed it wiser to find another path.

Especially with the backing of her fourth sibling in the contention for the title of Saint.

Who was the fourth sibling?

That was the forebear of freaks. Heh, within the family, when it came to freakishness, the fourth sibling would definitely rank in the top three.

In comparison, what was she, an ordinary future empress, really worth?

While Wang Luoqiu was filled with myriad emotions, on the other side, the current Sacred Master, Jiang Zhencang, had his originally proud expression completely replaced by shock and astonishment.

Four Unparalleled Heavenly Children of this generation?

This was too outrageous. Those in the know understood that they were competing for the Transcendent Void Codex. Those who didn’t, might think this was the legendary battle for the Immortal Seed~ Jiang Zhencang, for once, felt somewhat bewildered and at a loss. The full confidence he had held in his heart had plummeted to a mere twenty percent in an instant.

After all, there was Wang Liyao, who kept an even lower profile.

At the level of Unparalleled Heavenly Children with Innate Spiritual Bodies, a tiny advancement in bloodline talent could lead to an enormous advantage.

This was because at the level of Unparalleled Heavenly Children, once they inherited the Codex, they were bound not to stop at the Early Stage of the Void Realm. Otherwise, they would be wasting their exceptional talent.

Moreover, training someone to the Early Stage of the Void Realm already required a massive amount of resources for a nation or a Sacred Land. If they wished to advance to the Mid or Advanced Stages, the necessary resources would become truly terrifying.

Under such circumstances, every slight improvement in bloodline talent meant saving a large amount of resources or progressing a bit faster, further.

“Yuxuan, Lici, Green Fern, Yao Yao, I am astounded by your talents.”

Codex Artifact Spirit Lingyun’s gaze swept over the faces of the four Unparalleled candidates, swallowing saliva, feeling somewhat reluctant in her heart.

She really wanted to take every single one of them under her wing~ But the inheritance of the Codex has always been one radish, one hole; even if she wanted more, it was simply impossible~ In the end, Lingyun’s gaze still landed on Wang Liyao: “The Codex favors those with superior bloodlines! Yao Yao has the highest bloodline talent, earning a hundred points in bloodline according to the standards of the Saintly competition.”

“Yuxuan, Lici, Green Fern, all three of you are Unparalleled Heavenly Children, each earning eighty bloodline points.”

After finishing, Lingyun looked at the other three, consoling them, “Don’t be discouraged, you three. Although there’s a twenty-point gap, there are still five more assessments to come—command, martial power, charm, wisdom, and opportunity, with a full score of twenty points each, there’s still a chance for you to overtake.”

“Is the gap that big?” Enlightened One Yunyang said with dissatisfaction, “The other five categories combined only amount to a hundred points? Isn’t that the equivalent of Wang Liyao getting an extra full score for free?”

“What’s so strange about that?” Tianhe Enlightened One suddenly became proud, “At the Unparalleled level, every minor ascension in bloodline represents a breaking of limits. Our Yao’er has the highest bloodline, of course, she should have a head start.”

“What about us?” Bao Bucheng from Xuan Pill Pavilion and Shi Maotian from Kunyuan Mountain, both Great Heavenly Prouds of Grade A Advanced Stage, asked anxiously, “How many bloodline points can we get?”

“Twenty points in advance; can’t give more than that,” Codex Spirit Lingyun said with a sympathetic glance at the two.

If this were a previous selection, the final Saint would likely be one of these two, and Codex Artifact Spirit Lingyun would happily accept them as the new master.

But this generation was crowded with extraordinary talent, making a mere Grade A Advanced Stage utterly unpersuasive.

“Just twenty points? Such a large discrepancy…” Bao Bucheng and Shi Maotian, who had been full of confidence, suddenly felt a thick malice coming from the heritage Codex.

Dugu Feihong, who had initially carried an air of solitary invincibility, was now dispirited, yet he still mustered the courage to raise his hand and ask, “What about us, the three Grade A Mid Stages?”

He had originally thought that with a Grade A Mid Stage talent, the competition for Saint was almost a sure win.

But the reality was bitterly disappointing. He couldn’t even be considered average.

“Ten points,” Lingyun responded to Dugu Feihong with much more indifference, her voice returning to its initial nonchalance, “The scoring is for establishing tiers, and the rules are not set by me. I suggest you don’t ask too much or think too much, Grade A Mid Stage gets a reward of ten points.”

…

The Enlightened Ones present were stunned. With just ten points for Grade A Mid Stage, how could they compete with Wang Liyao? They would need to score a full hundred points in the remaining five comprehensive qualities to surpass Wang Liyao!
