*vroom!*
As soon as the male alchemist disciple ced his hand on the ck orb, it began to glow in a brighter light than what anyone before him had achieved.
This time a third of the ck orb was glowing leaving the other parts dark.
"Your talent meets the minimum requirements, but that is only average," the man finally gave a review.
The male alchemist whose name was Devan smiled as he removed his hand from the orb, "Thank you, Senior."
He returned to the group feeling a little happy as though the man hadplimented his talent.
''So if a third of the ck orb lights up it only reveals that one has an average talent.'' Arthur noted this fact in his mind.
Although he knew of the existence of such a treasure in his memories, he was not clear on the details of how it functions.
Thinking of his lost memories, Arthur wondered.
''Will I ever be able to get them back? I need to quickly grow in strength so that I can awaken the Nine Heavens Pce and ess the power of the gems too. Maybe it is possible to recover those lost memories. I need to try.''
While Arthur was thinking, the other female Alchemy Association disciple whose name was Cam stepped forward and ced her hand on the ck orb.
*shing!*
A fourth of the ck orb shined with a white light showing that her talent was a level better than Devan''s.
"A bit above average, you can reach a higher level easier," the man gave a slight nod.
Cam smiled and returned to where she stood.
"Did you see that senior sister? My talent isn''t bad!" She held Ava''s hand happily.
"Yes, I saw. This should make you stop having too many doubts about yourself right?" Ava felt happy for this fellow disciple of hers.
"Yes, senior sister. I will give my all from now on!"
"Good."
Cam had good talent but she had a habit of feeling she wasn''t going to be a good alchemist due to an event in the past.
Now that she finally saw how her talent in alchemy was, even if it was just a bit above average, she was very happy and thement from the Alchemist had raised her confidence up a notch.
"Finally, someone will stop nagging me about her failures," Devon sighed exaggeratedly.
While they had their little talk, Arthur decided to test his Alchemic talent.
When he stepped forward he notice that the Alchemist''s brows furrowed for a fraction of a second before going back to normal.
''I can not see through his cultivation? Interesting...''
Arthur was only able to notice the minuscule change in the man''s expression because he had been hyperfocused in observing him.
And he could guess why the man showed such an expression.
''Shit! I messed up. How could I forget about this,'' Arthur sighed inwardly. He realized he wasn''t cautious enough due to the little assurance of his Fate Sense that he will be okay.
Arthur''s cultivation level can not be known by anyone unless he decides to reveal it.
This was both a good thing and a bad thing depending on the situation.
If used wisely it could give him great advantages and if not used properly he could be at a disadvantage.
Like now.
''I can''t reveal my cultivation now as it might show that I noticed he tried to check my cultivation level.''
''At my rank, I should not be able to sense when a figure at his level uses soul power to scan me.''
''Sigh, I''ll just hope that this doesn''t cause any problems. I still don''t trust this whole thing.''
*Pat!*
Arthur ced his hand on the ck orb.
As he did so, he sensed a force invade his body as though it was looking for something.
But as soon as it did, another opposing force rose from within Arthur''s Dantian and obstructed the foreign force.
This was the automatic cloaking power of Arthur''s cultivation technique and is responsible for preventing anyone from seeing through his cultivation and discovering that Arthur had more than one Golden Core.
Arthur sent a mentalmand and withdrew the cloaking power and allowed the scanning force of the ck orb to prate into his Dantian.
But he also covered nine of his cores and only revealed one.
The scanning force reached his dantian and covered the only core revealed, which was Arthur''s fire-attributed core, the Golden me Core.
The force withdrew immediately after it scanned the me core of Arthur.
*Shing!*
Immediately the ck orb lost any dark color as it shined in a bright light entirely.
"Woah! The whole thing lit up! Who is he?" A Fire Spirit Sect disciple asked in amazement.
"He is a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect," Aselia answered him with pride.
Everyone was shocked as it was unexpected that the one who brought about such a reaction from the ck orb was not an Alchemist.
''So he has a hidden talent for alchemy? And it is even among the best?'' Julie was surprised and looked at Arthur more closely.
Ava felt that this Heavenly Sword Sect disciple is very interesting. She already noticed him when he was the only one who waspletely okay after teleporting to the secret realm.
Yet she never expected he had a very good talent for alchemy too.
''With such a talent, he would be among the best alchemists we have if he decided to practice alchemy.''
''The Senior said that he will pick two people and from the looks of things it will be him and I.''
''I will talk to himter, maybe I can introduce him to father, who had alwaysmented that he never meet anyone who met his requirements,'' Ava decided in her heart.
"Good! A high affinity for alchemy, and a talent that is among the best. Young man, what is your name?" The middle-aged man smiled, while his eyes sparked with interest.
Arthur removed his hand from the ck orb and frowned a bit at the man''s question.
He couldn''t say his real name here and if he used his fake name it might be a little weird.
The man noticed Arthur''s hesitation and asked, "What is it, don''t you have a name?"
"Oh, not that senior. I do have a name."
"Then speak up if you do. What is your name young man?"
''Well, you asked for it.''
Arthur went silent for a second and then opened his mouth.
"I am Invincible..."
