Chapter 22 Scorn

"Whoosh!"

With a sudden blast of wind, Bane Horton descended on the stage with immense speed as though he had teleported.

His eyes that were previously filled with scorn and indifference received a massive change. He landed before Leah, making the other students step back in fear.

"You're Leah Astria?"

The beautiful girl with the crystal clear eyes and soft pinkish lips nodded her brown-coloured hair. Although she tried to keep her calm before Bane Horton, the excitement radiated from the corner of her eyes, betraying her calm exterior.

Bane's smile widened. He hadn't expect this kind kf surprise! He came here thinking the girl was of a 5-star talent, but instead she was a rare 7-star! The people who denied coming here, giving him the chance to come here would definitely cry blood when they realise he has actually found a 7-Star talent.

"Good! Really good! From now on, you will follow me." Grabbing her shoulder, he noticed a slight bit of hesitation, then saw she was looking at a young man with tattered shirt and a faded the trousers. Her eyes suddenly turned indifferent and she got ready.

Bane read through her emotions and he another proud smile erupted from the corner of his lips, she had just stepped onto the path of cultivation and already knew how to sever emotions, she was truly a genius. He then glanced at the young man and snorted, grabbing Leah by the shoulder, he started to fly off.

When he got high in the air above the podium, three violet glowing serums flew out from his sleeves towards the Village Head, the principal and Vice-principal.

"Old Steel Village has nurtured a great talent and will be rewarded for this. All resource supplies will be doubled from today. The Blood Nucleus Serum is my gift to the the leaders for raising such talent…"

With that, he vanished into the distance, along with Leah.

The entire students exploded into cacophony of noises. A Level 7 genius within their small village, how could they not be excited?

They were so happy they burnt notice that a particular young man had blood flowing from the corner of his lips.

The moment Bane glanced at him and snorted, Erian had felt as though heaven and earth had entirely slammed upon his chest. If his strength hadn't increase from a mere level three to almost that of a level seven, he would have fainted or even died right there ans nobody would have complained about it because Bane Horton the Titan was just too powerful to get away with anything within this village. Now one would question him. Especially not the village head.

Erian laughed coldly to himself in self-pity but didn't say a singly world and only wiped his nose. His breathing was a little heavy with the internal Injury he had sustained.

The village leader finally returned to himself after the excitement. Glowing with the rays of a light house, he shouted, "Continue the test!"

"Bree Den. Level five, Talent: 1-star High Quality."

After the test for the Important class and the ascending class were over, the results instantly became horrible. Only Leah was the exception. Those whose nuclear pulse was Level One, Low Quality looked awful. It meant that they could only be level-seven at best in their life.

Helius glanced at Erian with pity in his eyes and shook his head. Then proceeded to ask. "Are you alright?"

Erian glanced at him with the corner of his eyes. He knew Helius had witnessed the entire exchange but was still willing to talk to him even after that, Erian couldn't help but be surprised. Chuckling softly he replied. "Yeah, I'm alright"

Helius glanced deeply at Erian and noticed he looked really carefree at the moment as though the scorn of Bane and Leah hadn't affected him in the slightest. Changing the subject, he said "I heard from the teachers that if your Nuclear pulse is better than Level One star, High Quality, you can have a chance to awaken the nuclear pulse. To become a Titan, one would need at least two-star low-quality. All right, it's our turn. Let's hope our result are a little above average."

Erian realized something with this information. According to what Helius had said, he now has a chance to become a Titan since his nuclear force is now above 1 star and has reached 2 star already. But it won't be enough if he wanted to enroll into a better university to become an expert Titan

As he expected, the Principal announced, "Helius Gate. Nuclear Pulse, 2-star, High Quality."

Helius face instantly flushed in excitement. He had thought his nuclear pulse would be like the others, 1-star talent and would remain ordinary for the rest of his life, picking and looting syringes in the slums. He hadn't expected this surprise! 2-star! High quality at that! Finally, he could enroll into a university and seat for the examinations too!

Erian smiled, naturally he was happy for him Helius. But his mind wasn't in this place, he was planning on his next move. The Black Tiger gang wouldn't let him off since he had almost crippled Blake therefore until he has the strength to face their strongest expert Fu Tian; a level nine expert, going back to his place was a not an option. The only place he could go was the Waste Station.

Erian's attention was suddenly yanked when he heard his name.

"Erian Falstone, Nuclear pulse: 2-star low-- low quality." The principal said with a slight frown. He had expected better from someone who had been with their heavenly genius 'Leah' since childhood.

"Huh? Just two star? It's not even half of Leah's talent." Someone muttered in disdain.

"Isn't he ashamed of himself? He still dare show his face here even after being stuck in Level three for more than three years."

"I heard he's betrothed to our goddess 'Leah', is it true?" someone suddenly asked. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

The crowds laughed in derision. "That's impossible. There's no talent in this world that can rival our goddess Leah! If someone wants to marry our goddess, the person has to be a nine star talent!"

"Come on, is there even a nine star talent?"
