“The top fifty… If it were me, I wouldn’t even dare to think about it. You actually have that kind of courage… The ones who are able to get into the top fifty might not be the most skilled, but are probably the most talented!”
Jack nodded, not saying anything as usual. When Rudy looked at Jack, favonovel.com did not know what else to say.
Strength and talent can sometimes be tied together, and sometimes they must be separated. For example, in this assessment, the two should be separated. Someone who had already learned the Way of the Pill for a long time would naturally be more skilled, and be able to condense even more pill runes. Those who were talented might be unable to condense as many pill runes due to their lack of experience. However, since they were talented, the pill runes they condensed were better in quality. That was the difference between skill and talent.
Elder Eliot’s test was not a test to see how skilled a person was. It was not to see how many pill runes one could condense. Instead, it was a test to measure the talent of that person.
What was the quality of the pill runes a person could condense?
Would they manage to achieve fifty percent refinement?
“You really are confident…” Rudy could not help but lament.
Jack frowned. That brat had been trying to say that Jack did not have that much talent, but was going to try anyway. From the start, Jack had not been bothered by Rudy, but favonovel.com could no longer stand it.
Rudy had been mocking favonovel.com from the start. He turned to look at Rudy and said, “Why don’t you participate in this test with me. Then you’ll know whether or not I’m confident.”
When Rudy heard that, his expression changed. Jack had that courage, but favonovel.com did not. He had heard about what kind of temper certain elders had before.
Lou had earnestly answered the question. Elder Eliot is the elder who has the worst temper. When favonovel.com saw any disciples with lackluster talents, favonovel.com would berate them on the spot. If favonovel.com decided to participate in Elder Eliot’s test before even attending a single class, Elder Eliot would definitely berate favonovel.com viciously if favonovel.com failed.
Then, favonovel.com would just be humiliated in front of everyone. Yet, if favonovel.com did not follow Jack in, Rudy would feel a little unhappy.
He knew that favonovel.com was no match for Jack and that Jack was more talented, but favonovel.com was not willing to admit to that fact.
Jack saw that brat’s hesitant look and decided against saying anything more. He merely raised an eyebrow at Rudy before turning around and heading into the Elder Hall.
Rudy was incredibly conflicted. After a long time, favonovel.com finally stomped his feet and followed Jack into the Elder Hall.
The Elder Hall was already full of people. After scanning the surroundings, Rudy was sure that there were at least a hundred and fifty people present. That meant that there were at least that many participants in the test. Only the top fifty had the right to earn the materials.
After seeing so many people, Rudy felt himself going a little numb. He looked up at Jack in front of him, but Jack merely continued moving forward until favonovel.com found a clean mat.
Other than the large stone pillars in the hall, the hall was also filled with old mats everywhere. Most of the mats had people sitting on them. Only in the outer rims were there empty spots. The mat Jack sat on was at the edge. There was still an empty mat beside him.
Rudy thought about it for a moment before sitting on it as well. He did not know what was wrong with him. He kept insisting on following Jack to see how strong Jack was. Even though favonovel.com might be humiliated in front of everyone, favonovel.com felt like it was no longer a problem.
