As Roan moved forward to test his age, he communicated with Rean through their Soul Connection.

"Last time, we held each other back, so we didn't get to see our real affinity level. But this time, I think we should hold back on purpose." ​​

Rean nodded.

"Sister Orb, is there a way to change the color that appears in the Aptitude and Affinity Tests?"

[I have no idea how the Aptitude Orb works, so I don't think I can help with that.]

[As for the Affinity Test, it would be useless. Even if it shows another Element now, you will use your real elements once you start to practice. Sure, you can also use other elements, but they won't be even half as good. In the end, the fact that you tried to hide them would be even more suspicious than showing them now.]

Rean then told Roan.

"Have you noticed that the Elemental Affinity Orb has 12 small orbs around it? Juri told me that that one we used back in the Tribe was of a lower quality, so it couldn't test higher affinity levels. Well, considering the average level of kids in a place like our Varen Tribe, there wasn't really a need to get one with 12 small orbs. That's why it only had 9 back then. But I feel that if we don't hold each other back, we most likely will lit up all 12."

Sister Orb snorted.

[You think? I can guarantee, if you do it right, the Element Affinity Orb might even break since it won't be able to hold against your level.]

Roan thought the same.

"Let's do like Malaka and lit up 8 Small Affinity Orbs. We won't be able to hide our Aptitude and Element, but they don't need to know how strong our Affinity Level is."

Rean agreed with Roan.

"Let's follow your idea then. Besides, there is no such thing as White and Dark colors in the aptitude tests. In that case, they won't be able to tell if it is good or not. At most, we will be considered irregulars."

Although they talked a lot, they used their connection to do that. So it only took a few seconds.

Roan quickly finished drinking the Age Measurement Liquid and moved to Aptitude Orb. Sure enough, as soon as his blood touched the Aptitude Orb, a Dark Light came out of it.

When the elders saw that, they all got up of their chairs.

"What is that? Was there such thing as Black Color Aptitude?"

"I've never heard about it, that's for sure."

"Is it good or bad?"

"It should be bad, right? After all, the lowest one is gray. In theory, Black should be even lower than that."

"Are you blind? He is already in the Foundation Establishment. Have you ever seen a kid with Gray Aptitude at this Realm? Who would be idiot enough to spend resources on him if it was bad?"

"Get his information and see from where he came from. If he is from some wealthy family, his parent might like him so much that they pushed this kid into that level by using cultivation resources."

One of the outer sect disciples came running and delivered the papers containing Roan's information.

"Varen Tribe? South of Astreg City? I don't even know where it is."

An elder had a pensive expression until suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Ah! I remember now. I passed by this city once, basically..."

The elder then explained what kind of place Astreg City was.

"That poor? There is no way anyone could push someone with an Aptitude worse than Gray into the Foundation Establishment. Which means..."

The other elders nodded.

"Black Aptitude might not be a bad Aptitude. But in that case, how good is it? He arrived at such a level in such a terrible environment. Could it be that his Aptitude is comparable to a Blue Color, or maybe Red?"

"Let's see his Elemental Affinity first. If it turns out that it is bad, then there is nothing else to discuss."

Everyone nodded their heads.

However, since Rean's time was right after Roan, his Aptitude Test came before Roan could test his affinity.

"White Color Aptitude!"

"Aren't those kids just a copy of each other? It's just that they have different hair colors."

"Twins? Each one with the opposite Aptitude Color, what does that mean?"

Soon, they found out that Rean and Roan were really brothers from the same Astreg City Region.

Finally, Roan arrived in front of the Affinity Orb and pressed his hand over it.

Immediately after, the Transparent Affinity Orb became Dark.

"Dark... Element?"

"Quiet, wait for him to finish."

The Small Orbs around the Main one then start to lit up one after another. Finally, the 8th one lit up a little and stopped there. Roan looked at that and sighed inwardly.

'So easy...'

Still, the elders were also surprised.

"Dark Element with Eight Small Affinity Orbs. It is close to the affinity level of a Red Color Aptitude. But... have anyone ever seen a user of Dark Element before?"

Once again, everyone shook their heads.

"It seems like we will need to check how good he will fare during the practical exam. After all, a cultivator that only relies on his cultivation and can't use his elements is useless."

Hulian narrowed his eyes before saying.

"If they are twins, does that mean that the white-haired boy has the Light Element?"

The other elders had to admit that it made sense. The Dark-Haired boy had a Black Color Aptitude and Dark Element. As for the White Haired one, he showed the White Color Aptitude, so they could already imagine him showing a Light Element.

Sure enough, the Affinity Main Orb shined with White Light. Right after, just like Roan, 8 Small Affinity Orbs lit up around the Main one.

They turned out to be identical and pole opposites at the same time. Nevertheless, those elders had never seen anything like that before.

"Seems like we can only rely on the practical exam to test those two."

But suddenly, someone appeared right in front of all the elders on the same stage. It was so sudden that the elders who were close jumped back in fright.

The one who appeared was a female cultivator. She looked to in her mid-twenties, straight brown hair, and used an exquisite blue robe. Her presence seemed to overshadow all the elders around.

The Inner Sect elders were taken aback when that woman appeared, though.

"This..."

But they quickly came back to themselves and bowed at the same time.

"Paying Respects to Sect Leader."
