Shocking The Empire

"And lastly, Main Family's Hao Shen, it's your turn." The Seventh Elder said while looking at Hao Shen with a smile, this was what the crowd had waited for, the young man who had reached the Dou Zhe realm at eleven years old was finally going to reveal his cultivation to the world after four years.

"Yes." Hao Shen replied before walking toward the Testing Stone.

'Sigh, it seems that from now on I can't hide my cultivation level, and big sister was thinking that I was at the early stage of the Dou Shi realm so she will once more pester father and mother about going out to train...' Hao Shen was thinking about his big sister who looked at him like she was about to catch up to his cultivation this morning and couldn't help but sigh...

Hao Shen was just in front of the Testing Stone, he looked at the Seventh Elder who stood at his side, end he gave him a nod, he extended his hand and touched the Testing Stone.

When Hao Shen's hand touched the stone, no noise could be heard from the spectators, neither from the participant, the arena seemed to be an empty room who stood in the middle of nowhere and no sound seemed to be present, one could practically hear the sound of one heart beating, and suddenly, text appeared on the Testing Stone.

"9-star Dou Shi" The silence continued, everyone in the arena, be it spectator or participants had their mouths and eyes wide open when they looked at the Testing Stone, the Seventh Elder who stood just at the side of Hao Shen looked around since he didn't see the results yet and he was surprised to see the surprise in everyone eyes, he turned around and stood there without saying anything while looking at the results.

Hao Shen knew that this would happen, and that was the reason he asked his father the previous day if there was a method to hide one's cultivation from the testing stone, but his father answered him that this was impossible, seeing that no noise was made for more than ten seconds after his test Hao Shen decided to speak first.

"Cough... Seventh Elder, can you announce the results??" Everyone came back to their sense after hearing Hao Shen speak, and the crowd went in a frenzy, Hao Shen had reached the Peak of the Dou Shi realm at only fifteen years old, this was a result that could shock the whole Black Corner Region, one had to know that the Jia Nan Academy recruited students who were fifteen years old or above, and most of them were in Dou Zhe realm when they entered the Jia Nan Academy, some were at the Dou Shi realm and they were already considered as peak genius, but now Hao Shen had reached the Peak of the Dou Shi realm, nobody had done the same in the whole Black Corner Region.

"Main Family's Hao Shen, Pass, Dou Zhe Area." The Seventh Elder finally announced the result and Hao Shen came down from the main stage, he walked toward the Dou Zhe Area and stood there with the other disciples, but he could feel a piercing gaze glaring at his back.

'Sigh... I predicted that. I need to go away the moment the ceremony end, if not big sister will kill me, but thanks to god, father told me to directly come to see him after the ceremony.' Hao Shen couldn't help but sigh internally when he sensed the gaze from his big sister, when she had asked what cultivation level Hao Shen had reached, he had only replied Dou Shi realm but he didn't give any details so she was probably happy that she had caught up to him, but she discovered that she was once more left behind, and that made her angry.

The ceremony concluded soon after Hao Shen went on stage since he was the last person to be evaluated, the results were as following: seventeen youths had reached the Dou Zhe realm and would take part in the Jia Nan Academy's test when the professor came in the Hao Clan's City, twenty-nine youths didn't reach the 8-star Dou Zhi Qi realm and would be sent to the different business and branch family to train and help the clan, and of the remaining people, twenty-five had reached the 9-star Dou Zhi Qi and would be sent to the clan Elite Training Camp to be trained as Elite Guards, the remaining people who had reached the 8-star Dou Zhi Qi will be trained by the Instructors of the Hao Clan.

After the ceremony ended, before anyone could intercept him, Hao Shen had already disappeared from the Martial Arena and was rushing toward his father's courtyard, he had a little idea about the reason he was called for, it was probably that his father had found the Rank 6 Beast Essence Flame that Hao Shen needed to refine the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill to directly become a 3-star Da Dou Shi realm practitioner.

Hao Shen waited there for a little more than ten minutes before his father arrived.

"Shen'er, I didn't see you at the after ceremony." Hao Tian who had just entered the room smilled while looking at his son.

Hao Tian was very proud of Hao Shen because since he was a kid he was very intelligent, but he made him even prouder when he started to cultivate when he became four years old.

Hao JinJing and Hao Shen both possessed a good talent for cultivation, and in terms of pure talent, Hao Shen wasn't a lot better than Hao JinJing, but Hao Shen was very diligent since the day he started to cultivate, he was also very courageous since he dared to go in the Magical Beast Mountain Range when he was only eleven years old, and that was another of the reason Hao Tian was so proud.

"Father, you know that big sister would have asked me to take her with me next time I went to train if I didn't leave immediately." Hao Shen sighed as he explained himself.

"Yes, what you say is indeed true, I know that she want to travel, but unfortunately, I can't let her risk her life in the outside world before she is strong enough to protect herslef." Hao Tian laughed.

"Shen'er, I've got what you asked me, a Rank 6 Beast Essence Flame, your grandfather went in the Main Auction House of the Black Corner Region to get it, it's the flame from an Emeral Demon Tiger, here take it." Hao Tian explained as he gave a little contained to Hao Shen, inside was stored a little black liquid with green spot that flashed inside of it.

"Thanks father, I'm going to have my breakthrough to the Da Dou Shi realm in the next few days, I'll come out when the Jia Nan Academy's Professor is here." Hao Shen took his leave soon after and only Hao Tian was left in the room.

"Sigh, I think the time have come, I should tell him about our Ancestor."

"Yes, Shen'er is an adult now, and he is the future patriarch so he have the right to know." the voice of Hao Lei echoed in the room as he appeared from nowhere.

"Yes Father, I'll tell him when he come out of seclusion." Hao Tian nodded.
