Chapter 69

Right after Yang Kong’s words subsided, Christina woke up . She looked like she was in deep thought and slightly lost, but she was actually nervous .

However, when she heard Yang Kong announce that her Genetic Chain Talent was three and a half stars, the girl smiled .

The sealed transparent door opened .

Christina jogged out of the machine eagerly and happily held her friend’s arm, the other girl who passed the first round of exam named Vian . She announced repeatedly, “I passed! I passed!”

Her blonde hair also fluttered along with her joyful hops, infecting the others in the room with her joy .

“Nonetheless, they are still very young . ” Fei Long lazily smiled on the side . He only hoped that after she ended her training and became a Purple Moon Warrior, she could still remember the naivety of today .

All Fei Long did was hope as his smile gradually faded away .

On the other hand, Vian truly felt happy for her friend, but when she looked at the measuring machine, anxiety flashed in her eyes .

“You’ll pass too,” Christina assured her friend .

The second round of exams would not be messed up by some intentional party anymore .

After Christina, a nervous young boy walked into the measuring machine . If the same scene repeated itself, it would not be as overwhelming .

Everyone started to wait for the results calmly, but misfortune came around this time . Only two out of the nine halos lit up for the young boy .

“Genetic Chain Talent two-star . Disqualified . He’ll be recommended to the Second Reserved Camp . ” Yang Kong’s voice was still just as dull, similar to when he announced Christina’s result .

Still, it did not change the fact that he was disqualified for the First Reserved Camp . The young boy was a little depressed, his clenched fists representing his grievance .

Like what Su Yao said before, the rule of this exam was the iron wall of despair . There was nothing like hard work or risking one’s life because there was not even such an opportunity! There was nothing you can do!

“It’s fine . You can still be a Purple Moon Warrior from the Second Reserved Camp,” comforted Fei Long as he stepped up to the young boy .

He was not lying . Although the boy was going to the Second Reserved Camp as a two-star talent, he could still become a Purple Moon Warrior, but the distance between the Purple Moon Warriors would be huge!

“Mm!” The young boy’s fire of hope was reignited .

Fei Long’s words might be simple, but they were hopeful, especially since he was the leader of all the Purple Moon Warriors, so his words sounded particularly powerful .

“What a compassionate person,” Orston grumbled . A leader at the very top of the ranks comforting an examinee who failed was indeed compassionate .

His words stirred up a strange feeling in Tang Ling’s heart . Tang Ling could not help but think if Fei Long was there that night, would the fate of the settlement have changed? He could not get into detail with the answer though .

However, the short, talkative scaredy-cat was chosen as the third person to enter the measuring machine .

“Let’s hope he can pass . ” Of course, Tang Ling remembered the smile and the warm reminders from him, hence his sincere blessing from the bottom of his heart .

In less than a minute, the result was out . Three halos lit up, but the strange thing was that the light that lit up was not a pure silver-white color and had a very faint tint of green .

The changes made Fei Long a little happier . Even Yang Kong, who had been calm, grunted softly in approval .

Is it any different? Tang Ling was rather dubious, but since Fei Long and Yang Kong had no intention of explaining, Andy was simply announced to have passed .

After passing, Andy revealed a rather nervous smile . He looked like he wanted to release his emotions like Christina but dared not .

Tang Ling, however, nodded at Andy and stated, “You’re good . ”

Andy showed a trace of excitement and gratitude after hearing Tang Ling’s approval . He stammered, “Y-Y-You are better!”

“You two idiots, what are you boasting about?” Orston said with slight resentment .

Andy was frightened as he quickly scuttled back in line .

As for Tang Ling, he neglected Orston altogether .

Up next was Vian, who passed without any hindrance, and her talent rating was the same as Christina’s at three and a half stars . The two girls seemed to have gotten closer because of this .

“Next, Amir,” Yang Kong continued calling the names and it was Amir’s turn . He came from the settlement .

“May luck favor you . ” With slight hesitation, Fei Long blessed Amir before he walked in . Even his expression looked a little complicated .

The complication was captured by Tang Ling’s eyes followed by silence .

Fei Long must have known what happened to the people of the settlement . Was it sympathy from him? Nonetheless, it was meaningless .

Tang Ling’s impression of Fei Long paused at a cold distance . On the contrary, when Amir heard Fei Long’s blessing, he reacted excitedly and replied with a shaky voice “Thank you, Leader . ”

Fei Long nodded and sent Amir into the machine with a smile .

As a matter of fact, the young chocolate-skinned boy performed outstandingly during the first round and he also displayed his Genetic Chain Potential, so passing the second would not be a problem for him .

I guess this means the settlement wasn’t wiped out entirely, was it?

With that thought in mind, Fei Long seemed a little agitated . He crossed his arms and leaned on the wall while his shut eyes seemed fatigued .

Yang Long looked at Fei Long with a worried gaze . Having disdain and worry in his heart at the same time, he thought, ‘A soft leader of the Purple Moon is also considered an irony, isn’t it? If he continues to be like this, can he break through with this mentality?’

With his eyes shut, of course, Fei Long did not see Yang Kong’s worried gaze or understand the thoughts in the man’s mind .

He only knew that a minute later, Amir would bring a huge surprise to this second round of exams .

A total of five halos lit up, and in the illuminated halos, tiny bits of black lines lined them . They were very faint but were certainly there .

Moreover, the result was out in a minute, meaning Amir had a very strong mind .

Fei Long’s eyes gleamed in excitement that no one had ever seen before . The laziness on his face disappeared, but before he could express anything, Yang Kong’s excitement beat him to it .

“A five-star talent! What a genius! The First Reserved Camp will welcome another genius!” His tone was still as dull but a lot louder .

If the other teens present did not understand what a five-star talent meant before, Yang Kong’s comment explained it all .

Does a five-star talent mean he’s a genius? Or is it related to the black lines?

While Tang Ling was thinking about this question, Fei Long provided the answer, “Very good! A five-star talent! I hope there are more geniuses like you out there . Before, there was only a handful of five-star talents throughout the entire sector, including those who were already Purple Moon Warriors . ”

Amir is really amazing .

That was the sincerest thought in Tang Ling’s mind . Then, would those “important figures” feel pity for annihilating the entire settlement?

A genius like Amir came from the settlement!

No one else present at the scene would share Tang Ling’s thought, so after a short bout of excitement, Yang Kong uttered the next candidate’s name, “Next, Tang Ling . ”
