“Damn it!”

Among the Rain Clan’s candidates, Mo Feng became gloomy after seeing Su Ping’s performance. Nine and a half nails was already a great result.

If Su Ping couldn’t pass the test, then at least ninety percent of the test-takers present wouldn’t!

Still, if Su Ping passed the test, the Heaven Path Institute would realize the human being’s potential and invest a tremendous amount of resources on him; such an outcome was bad news for him and the Rain Clan!

Joanna stepped up to take the test while Mo Feng pondered.

Soon, the black ball turned golden. Then, the first black nail, the second, the third… They glittered one after the other. Ten of them turned on soon after, but that wasn’t the end of it. The eleventh and twelfth black nails had also turned golden!

All of the black nails had been illuminated!

Everybody fell silent at the moment. So far, she was the only candidate who had managed to illuminate all of the black nails!

Someone noticed that Joanna was from the Original Ladies Clan.

It was said that her clan had a strange relationship with the ancient Titan Gods.

The Titan Gods was a high-ranked clan with a long history. However, it declined due to an incident and disappeared overnight. Nobody knew where they had gone. Since then, their vassal forces had been subdued by the other clans.

Still, the Original Ladies weren’t subdued for some reason. Still, they didn’t have much potential, and could only manage to stand as a middle-ranked clan with their bloodline.

The middle-aged man responsible for registering results was surprised. He looked at Joanna and sensed something. However, considering such an outstanding result, he turned and looked at the three old men. He knew what to do after seeing the surprise and appreciation on their faces.

“Very good. You may leave,” said the middle-aged man with a smile.

Joanna was slightly dazed by the result. She didn’t expect that her divine quality would be as high. She knew about the uses of the golden stone, but she had never tested her divine quality. After all, it couldn’t really improve her combat ability.

In any case, the result showed that she would surely be admitted by the Heaven Path Institute.

Unless…

Joanna looked at the three old men, finding that they were staring at her too with gentle smiles.

She then felt relieved, and was no longer anxious when she returned to Su Ping’s side. She was thrilled, to think she would be admitted by the Heaven Path Institute… It would be a breeze for an expert of the institute to pull the Demigod Burial over to the Archean Divinity.

“Do you have such a high divine quality?”

Su Ping was indeed astonished, and so was Tang Ruyan. She had broken the record thus far!

Nobody had paid any attention to them earlier, but then they realized that countless people were gazing at Joanna after she broke the record.

“Did you cheat?” said Su Ping telepathically.

Joanna glanced back at him and said, “Who would dare to cheat here? Do you think I’m as cunning as you?”

“You aren’t any better than me when it comes to that.” Su Ping looked weird. He had known Joanna for a long time; never did he see her as a benevolent person. Didn’t her divine quality suggest that she was a saint?

Or rather, was divine quality unrelated to one’s kindness?

Su Ping felt baffled by this; still, he was quite happy with their results. Even Tang Ruyan—the one with the worst performance—had illuminated seven black nails, which gave her a good chance to be admitted.

“We’re now the center of attention,” Su Ping said in a low voice.

Joanna said indifferently, “Not ‘we’, but me.”

“…”

Su Ping didn’t know what to say.

The measurements continued; time passed and all of them were done. Some illuminated ten black nails while others illuminated eleven, but none had managed to illuminate all twelve like Joanna did.

Once the tests were over, the middle-aged man closed the book he held and the brush made of divine power disappeared. He looked at the three old men and gestured at them.

The harsh old man on the right side said in a cold and solemn tone, “We’ve examined your divine quality. Now, I will announce the admission standard.”

Everybody pricked their ears after hearing that.

“Those who have illuminated seven or more nails will be admitted. The rest of you should work on cultivating your personalities. Feel free to come again,” said the old man coldly.

The whole crowd in the field whispered. The ones who had met the standard felt relieved, while the ones who had illuminated six divine nails were regretful. As for those who had illuminated one or two nails, they knew they couldn’t be admitted, and were moaning in sorrow.

“I didn’t know the threshold was seven black nails. There was no need for me to illuminate nine nails.”

“Seven nails is enough to be admitted? Why not ten?”

“Why ten? Because you illuminated ten nails?”

Some cheered, and some
