Besides Xiao Lang, the rest of the Xiao Family was also curious about Xiao Qingxue’s Talent Value.
This was because Xiao Qingxue possessed the Purity Body.
They wanted to know what kind of Talent Value the Purity Body would produce.
"Alright!"
Xiao Qingxue agreed.
’I’ve got nothing better to do, anyway.’
’Might as well test it and show everyone a thing or two.’
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Xiao Qingxue walked up to the Martial Emperor Ancient Stele and placed her hand on it. The Stele immediately displayed: "Xiao Qingxue, age eighteen, Early Stage Martial Artist, Talent Value 10,000/1."
"Holy shit!"
Qu Luo cursed out loud the moment he saw Xiao Qingxue’s Talent Value.
Everyone else was stunned.
The surroundings fell deathly silent.
Xiao Qingxue’s Talent Value had actually reached 10,000/1.
Didn’t this mean that not only had Xiao Qingxue surpassed the maximum Talent Value, but she had done so by a factor of ten thousand?
’This has to be some kind of joke.’
Everyone present stared at Xiao Qingxue as if she were a monster.
Not even Qu Luo was an exception.
His requirement for finding an heir was actually quite simple: they only needed to be close to the maximum Talent Value.
Who would have thought Xiao Qingxue would be so monstrous? She had shattered the limit, reaching ten thousand times the maximum Talent Value.
’Heavens!’
’Does such a demon-level talent truly exist in this world?’
Only Su Mo remained calm.
’Even in the Ancient Era, the Purity Body was considered a demon-level talent. What’s a mere inheritance for a Martial Emperor Technique in comparison?’
’It’s complete child’s play.’
Qu Luo exclaimed excitedly, "I have decided! I will pass on the Martial Emperor Technique to..."
Xiao Qingxue’s talent was simply too monstrous.
He dared to bet that throughout all of history, no one could surpass Xiao Qingxue’s talent.
Not even the gods themselves could.
However, Xiao Qingxue stopped him. "Wait, my husband hasn’t been tested yet."
"Your husband?"
Qu Luo hesitated.
"That’s right!" Xiao Qingxue said, pointing at Su Mo. "Elder, this is my husband."
Qu Luo turned to look at Su Mo.
’Hm?’
’How is he just a Martial Disciple?’
Qu Luo shook his head. "Miss Xiao, take my advice. It’s better not to have your husband test. I’m afraid he’ll feel inadequate."
As he spoke, Qu Luo couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo and shake his head inwardly.
’For a demon-level genius like Xiao Qingxue to marry an eighteen-year-old Martial Disciple... it’s like a beautiful flower planted in a pile of cow dung.’
’Has her brain gone haywire?’
’Only at the Martial Apprentice Realm at eighteen... This kind of trash is so useless even a dog would shake its head at him. He’s completely unworthy of Xiao Qingxue.’
"Inadequate?"
Xiao Qingxue’s brows furrowed, her displeasure evident. She immediately challenged him, "Elder, why must you be so quick to look down on people?"
Huh?
Qu Luo looked utterly bewildered. "Miss Xiao, please be clear. When have I ever looked down on anyone?"
Xiao Qingxue said, "Elder, you’re belittling my husband. Is that not looking down on people?"
Qu Luo was speechless.
He was trying to spare Xiao Qingxue’s feelings and avoid embarrassing her. That’s why he didn’t want Su Mo to test, especially since her talent was so monstrous.
But in the end, Xiao Qingxue had completely misunderstood him.
Qu Luo tried to explain patiently, "Miss Xiao, I’m doing this for your own good. Please don’t misunderstand my kind intentions."
"Hmph! You’re just looking down on him!"
Xiao Qingxue said coldly, "Let me tell you the truth. My husband’s talent far surpasses my own. He is the number one demon-level talent here."
"What? You say he’s the number one demon-level talent here? Hahaha! You’re killing me!"
Qu Luo shot Su Mo a scornful glance.
’Isn’t Su Mo just a Martial Disciple?’
’You could pull anyone from this crowd at random, and their talent would be several times better than Su Mo’s.’
Qu Luo said with disgust, "Miss Xiao, I know you’re frustrated and wish for your husband to become a peerless talent, but I would sooner give my Martial Emperor Technique to a dog than to your husband. You should tell him to give up on that idea."
’Su Mo’s talent is just too poor.’
’If I passed the Martial Emperor Technique to Su Mo and he failed to become powerful, it would not only be his own disgrace but mine as well.’
Therefore, he would rather let the inheritance go to waste than pass it to Su Mo.
Hearing this, everyone present had strange expressions on their faces.
’Worse than a dog?’
’With Su Mo’s talent and strength, he could crush everyone here all by himself.’
’If Su Mo is worse than a dog, then what does that make us?’
"Damn it, this old geezer dares to say our Young Master is worse than a dog."
"Hmph, I thought the founding ancestor of the Beast Taming Sect would be something special, but it turns out he’s just a blind man."
"What a fucking embarrassment."
"His judgment is the thing that’s worse than a dog’s."
The Xiao Family disciples were immediately filled with righteous indignation.
Xiao Qingxue shook her head inwardly.
’I originally thought that since he was a Martial Emperor Powerhouse, he’d have some discernment. I didn’t expect his judgment to be so poor that he can’t even see through Su Mo.’
’How disappointing.’
"Bullshit!"
Hearing the taunts from the Xiao Family, Qu Luo’s face contorted with rage. He was about to explode.
In his life, he had been a magnificent Martial Emperor Powerhouse, a mighty existence who shook the Northern Profound Domain. What grand scene had he not witnessed?
And now, he was being mocked by a group of juniors.
’Damn it all!’
Qu Luo demanded furiously, "You tell me, which of my eyes is blind?"
"We called you blind, and you’re still not convinced?"
Xiao Lang said coolly, "I’ll just ask you this: do you dare to let our Young Master test himself?"
Qu Luo said angrily, "Fine, test then! If your Young Master’s talent is lacking, I will retract the opportunity for this inheritance. None of you will get my legacy!"
"It’s not like we’re begging for it."
Xiao Lang glared at Qu Luo and said indignantly, "Young Master, you should go up and test. Open this old geezer’s eyes so he stops looking down on people."
"Yeah, let this old geezer see for himself that there’s always someone better out there!"
"Damn it! How dare you say our Young Master’s talent is worse than a dog’s? I say you’re the one who’s worse than a dog! Always judging people from your narrow viewpoint, belittling everyone."
Everyone in the Xiao Family was furious.
They could be humiliated, but their Young Master absolutely could not.
Otherwise, they would take it out on whoever was responsible.
Xiao Zhan walked over and persuaded him, "Xiaomo, you should go up and test. This is no longer just about you; it concerns the honor of our entire Xiao Family."
"Alright."
Su Mo looked completely helpless.
He had no interest in Qu Luo’s Martial Emperor Technique and originally didn’t want to participate in the Martial Emperor Ancient Stele’s talent test.
Who would have thought that Qu Luo would end up arguing with the Xiao Family?
He had no choice but to agree.
Su Mo walked up to the Martial Emperor Ancient Stele and raised his hand, injecting Spiritual Qi into the Ancient Stele.
At that moment, everyone’s gaze converged on him.
They all wanted to know, for a demon among demons like Su Mo, just how strong was his talent?
The Desolate Old Monster asked, "Sect Leader Chu, how high do you think Elder Su’s Talent Value will be?"
Chu Tianxiong replied without hesitation, "Miss Xiao reached 10,000. Elder Su will only be higher. Maybe he’ll even reach 20,000."
"20,000?"
The Desolate Old Monster thought for a moment and asked, "Do you guys think Elder Su might break 50,000?"
"Isn’t 50,000 a bit exaggerated?" Chu Tianxiong said in disbelief.
Qu Luo snapped, "Stop your damn guessing! If he can even reach the maximum Talent Value, I’ll be impressed. Break 50,000? Heh, he can keep dreaming."
Xiao Lang asked, "And what if he does break 50,000?"
Qu Luo said coldly, "Hmph, then I’ll eat the Martial Emperor Ancient Stele."
Xiao Lang said, "You said it. You’d damn well better not regret it."
