Chapter 70: Crowd

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Tang Ling’s name was called, all the attention on Amir’s magnificent result instantly shifted.

Tang Ling was too much of a standout during the first round to the point that everyone was curious about what kind of talent he would show in the second.

After all, to the bunch of teenagers, the concept of a five-star talent was not exactly a clear picture. It was not something that could be understood easily with a brief explanation from Fei Long or Yang Kong.

Orston and Yu, however, seemed to know more than the others.

Although Orston behaved like he had six-star talent, no one knew what was on Yu’s mind because he did not seem shocked at all.

Amir did not seem to have anticipated his reaction. His lifted head swiftly lowered, and then he slightly looked up for a glimpse at Fei Long.

When Tang Ling’s name was called, Fei Long was obviously very concerned.

The Purple Moon leader showed his fondness for the young boy brazenly, hence he did not notice Amir’s gaze.

Amir then lowered his head and went back in line quietly.

Tang Ling stepped up to answer his number, and after a slight hesitation, he complimented Amir, “Congratulations.”

There was no reply from Amir though, but Tang Ling was not concerned. He just wanted to congratulate Amir, but he hesitated because he could tell that the boy had a very high mental defense and was somewhat resentful to connect with people.

People of the settlement always had wounds over their hearts. Tang Ling felt like he could understand Amir.

“Tang Ling, go back. You’ll be the last to take the exam.” It was at that moment that Fei Long stopped Tang Ling who knew what was going on in his mind.

At the same time, Amir suddenly glanced at Tang Ling, his eyes showing surprise, but he swiftly lowered his head once more. Bending lower than before, his thoughts and expression were completely veiled.

Yu was also a little surprised. Orston grumbled out loud, “Leader Fei Long, shouldn’t we take the exam according to our strength level? Do you think this Tang Ling kid is stronger than Yu and me?”

“No.” Fei Long squinted his eyes heavily. With slight annoyance, he said, “He caused a lot of trouble during the first round and it got to me. So, I’ll make him last to spare me all the trouble.”

What kind of reason was that? It was obviously an excuse.

Among everyone present, only Orston believed him. He even sneered at Tang Ling as if he took pleasure in his misfortune. Then, even without Yang Kong calling his name, Orston strode into the measuring machine.

Everyone actually thought Orston was conceited, but they still acknowledged this strength, so the attention and anticipation of his result rose a little higher.

Even Yu, who had always shown disdain at Orston’s conceit, maintained his nonchalance.

In less than two minutes, Orston’s talent was measured. His talent was rated four and a half stars.

Fei Long and Yang Kong demonstrated satisfaction, but when Orston heard his result being announced, he turned around and kicked the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine.

“Orston, even if you are from Gordin’s, you won’t be able to bear the consequences of breaking the machine.” Yang Kong sounded unusually stern.

On the contrary, Fei Long smiled. He seemed to have expected such feisty behavior from the kid.

“Me? Breaking it? This machine is already broken!” Orston was unwilling to accept the result. He then pointed at Amir and squealed, “How can he be better than me?”

“The machine is accurate. If you aren’t happy with the result, tell your grandfather to pay a million credits and I don’t mind letting you test it again,” Fei Long commented mildly. He was already in front of Orston in a flash. He put his hand over the kid’s shoulder and said, “You don’t need to feel bad about this. The result has proven that you are the best of the Gordin family in the past decades.”

“Really?” When Fei Long mentioned Orston’s grandfather, the kid’s agitation obviously weakened, and when Fei Long told him that he was the best of his family, a smile curled upon his lips.

“You can ask your grandfather about it,” Fei Long said nonchalantly before he looked at the others and continued in a stricter tone, “Talent might be important, but it isn’t the deciding factor. Sometimes, your own willpower and encounters can change a lot of things, and I’m not lying about that.”

Fei Long was indeed speaking the truth. For example, a three-star talent had the potential of becoming a three-star Purple Moon Warrior, but whether one could succeed in becoming one still depended on many other factors in the process. Having the potential did not mean that it was achievable.

However, if one did not have three-star potential, even if all the conditions were met, he or she would never go beyond three-stars.

It was not necessary to reveal the cruel fact because even after one successfully became a Purple Moon Warrior, every step forward remained difficult.

Humans should not just look at the best outcome. In reality, many things would end in a mediocre outcome or the worst possibility.

His words seemed to put everyone at ease. Vian’s eyes gleamed as she looked at Fei Long. She uncontrollably said, “Leader, you really are a kind person.”

Tsk.

Yang Kong turned away and sniffed. Kind? Him?

After the long speech, Fei Long tapped Orston’s back once more. “Don’t you forget about your fifth brother. Give it your best, kid.”

When Orston’s fifth brother was mentioned, he reacted like endless energy was poured into him as he nodded strongly and strode to Amir.

“Just you wait and see. I, Orston, will surely be stronger than you. Even if you have 50-star talent, it will all end the same.”

Amir nervously stepped back and dared not look at Orston’s eyes.

“50-star talent? What the hell is that?” Tang Ling casually asked. Upset, Orston roared, “It’s just a metaphor! Are you an idiot?”

“Yu, get prepared.” Yang Kong rubbed the center between his brows and had no intention of listening to the little squabbles. He quickly stopped Orston and Tang Ling from arguing.

After yesterday’s exam, everyone already knew that these two were rivals. Yang Kong would not want them to fight here and break his machine.

It was finally Yu’s turn. The quiet kid was a lot more eye-catching than Orston.

Tang Ling and Orston stopped their squabble and waited patiently for Yu’s result.

The shocking thing was that Yu’s result was produced after a minute, and he still could not surpass Amir. Despite the fifth halo flickering strongly many times and even looking like it was going to finally light up, it ultimately went dim.

One thing worth mentioning was that Yu’s halos looked a little different as well. One of them was obviously golden in color.

“Hmm. I don’t think this is considered as a four and a half star talent anymore. It’s infinitely closer to five stars, so it should be considered as a standard five-star talent. It’s just that little bit more special. Pass.” Yang Kong seemed to have provided the most reasonable explanation for Yu’s examination result.

As for Yu himself, he did not respond to his result. His face showed no hint of satisfaction or disgruntled emotions, but his gaze paused on Amir for a moment.

Amir was very sensitive as well, so he quivered when he caught Yu’s gaze.

Tang Ling then walked out of the line quietly and looked at Fei Long.

Fei Long saw the cold, distant feeling in Tang Ling’s gaze. He assumed it was the bad impression Lionel left on Tang Ling, so an explanation was necessary. “Don’t look at me like I am Lionel. Go in.”

Tang Ling did not say anything and walked straight into the machine.

Fei Long looked at his back with much higher anticipation of the result than anyone else.
