Badass Celestial Emperor Returns!

(3) Aptitude Test

"Senior Wen, you're here to watch over Little Yue?" Zi Yingjun greeted. He faintly smiled at the two when Zi Yan Yue mischievously grabbed his arm. He let her be since Zi Yan Yue was once his childhood friend.

"Yes." Zi Gu Wen bitterly smiled. He had been used looking after Zi Yan Yue. When he lost his parents at the age of five, the main branch fostered him until he was fifteen. "Ah Yue, your already in the right age. Act properly, not all men shall be touched like that."

"But we're friends!" Zi Yan Yue blinked.

"Little Yue, listen to Senior Wen. Only you and your husband can act like this. Am I right, Senior Wen?" Zi Yingjun provocatively looked up to Zi Gu Wen. If he is right, Zi Gu Wen have hidden feelings for Zi Yan Yue and the two married just after she finished her study in the academy.

"Then.... I wont let go." Zi Yan Yue lowered her head, her voice was like of a mosquito.

"What?" Zi Yingjun acted as if he didn't hear her words. He glanced at the bronze gate as it slowly opened. "Senior Wen, please look after her. I will take my leave first." he removed Zi Yan Yue's grasp then joined the crowds of young masters entering the academy.

Though he was smiling lightly at them, in truth, he is just holding himself. Zi Yingjun was not used at being touched that intimately. He wanted to humiliate Zi Yan Yue at first but considering his past, it would be strange for others if he started to avoid them. Zi Yan Yue and Zi Gu Wen were the only two people who was close to him back then. At least for now, he must follow the flow of his fate before making a direct turn.

Zi Yingjun planned to slowly change his attitude until it meets his current temperament. Old friends? Zi Yan Yue and Zi Gu Wen will just hold him back from reaching his ambitions. Family? Zi clan has always treated him like a different person. Even his uncle, Zi Ming Yun was cold to him. As for that woman he married in his past life, tch. She is nothing but a spoiled young miss of Jiang clan. None of them are worthy for his whole time and attention, not even for a tiny bit.

The academy of Zi clan is still abundant with energy. From the outer court, the teachers and head teacher is standing there. Behind them is the testing crystal. One is required to circulate their qi in their eight meridians and transfer it to the testing crystal. There are five colors that'll fill up the crystal to show one's aptitude.

The fifth-rate talent have the color of red. Fourth-rate talents were yellow. Third-rate talent are green. Second-rate talent is blue while first-rate talents are purple.

Zi Yingjun, as the closest bloodline of the clan leader, has to go first. The elders are having high hopes of him as a first rate talent. His eye color is the proof he have the pure bloodline of his clan which will help him surpass his peers. When Zi Yingjun was ten and started learning in the village school, he was the most promising student. Unfortunately, because of his origin, he was always bullied by his peers. Now that he reached fifteen and its time for testing aptitude, they placed high hope on him.

He placed his palm on the testing crystal. After transferring qi, the crystal hummed. A bright flash happened, some were expecting it would be purple while others who hated him hoped it's red. However, what they saw both disappointed everyone. Its not the color of red or purple, instead, it was blue. Zi Yingjun is a second-rate talent.

"Sigh, it must be Heaven's will."

"You are right, he was that man's son."

"Hmph! As expected of a demon's spawn."

"Its not bad. At least, he can reach Foundation Building stage before his fifties."

Zi Yingjun ignored their comments. He had expected this and in his previous life, Zi Yingjun did reach Foundation Building stage durinh his forties. If not for his luck finding life prolonging elixirs, he would have died of old age. Fortunately, he is no longer that ignorant brat. There are more ways for him to reach Celestial Life stage again within a hundred year or so. He is not rushing to reach immortality, everything shall be taken slowly. A small rush can spoil big plans.

He stepped out of the platform and Zi Yan Yue came up next. She wanted to comfort him but seeing his calm appearance, her words were stuck in her throat. Zi Yingjun stood on the farthest place once more. He watched Zi Yan Yue in the process. Back to his past life, she is a first-rate talent that even his uncle placed more attention to nurturing her than him. Well, he can't blame Zi Ming Yun.

It was because his younger sister, Zi Xian, fell in love to a demonic cultivator. Even if the Zi Clan prohibited her, she still threw herself to the demonic path cultivator and eventually got pregnant. Unfortunately, demonic path cultivators are mostly selfish. That man left her all alone, leaving behind a warning not to look for him. Zi Xian was broken hearted but since she bore their child, she was contented having Zi Yingjun as her son. Sadly, the demonic path cultivator returned and asked for Zi Yingjun.

Zi Xian refused and a big fight happened. It led to her dying while refusing to give Zi Yingjun. She is a first-rate talent of Zi clan and Zi Ming Yun treasured his younger sister. He hated Zi Yingjun the most after Zi Xian's death. Because of the status being a demonic path cultivator's son, Zi Yingjun was often discriminated.

When Zi clan perished, Zi Yingjun was the only survivor. He went out to look for his father but it was all in vain. Now that he was reborn with the vast knowledge of this world, Zi Yingjun will never care about that man.
