Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 236 What's his talent?

Kyle sensed a lot of eyes boring at his back but when he looked back he didn't detect anyone. A frown appeared on his face but in the next second, he was distracted by the old elf women standing on the stage.

The elf woman stepped forward with a gentle smile. She was wearing a long white robe with yellow flowers engraved on her shoulders.

"Congratulations to all the winners. My name is Jolee Uinous. I know the event was hard and the hardest part was facing the monster horde that appeared without any prior notice but it was necessary because we wanted to find the best youths who would survive in every type of situation."

She paused and gazed at the winners who were staring back at her with serious expressions.

"Due to the monster horde only 367 participants were able to survive until the end of the event, and they all won the event! Yes, the King decided to give rewards to all those who managed to survive against all odds. However, the rewards would be distributed according to everyone's ranks and total points."

Jolee smiled at the end when she saw the bright faces of the kids. She cleared her throat and pointed at the crystal floating in the middle of the stage.

"Alright, that's enough about the event. It's over. Now, focus here. As you know all those participants who survived until the end will receive rewards but only those who passed the second round of the event would be selected as members of the elite team who would be directly trained by the Kingdom. The members of the elite team will also receive training from a lot of strong individuals because they will be the future of the elf Kingdom!"

A lot of murmurs echoed in the hall when they heard Jolee's words. However, she effectively clapped her hands to shut them up.

"Okay, let me tell you about the second round. It's very simple. We will check everyone's talent with this Crystal ball floating on the stage. The ones who have talent equal to or higher than (S+)-Rank will pass this round."

Amidst the troubled crowd who was discussing the sudden second round, Kyle's frown deepened with each passing second but then he noticed another female figure who just arrived behind Jolee.

Kyle's eyes lit up and his brow relaxed when he saw Serena his savior. She was finally here!

'On time! I almost thought she abandoned me after sending me to the event.'

Serena was wearing a brown dress and her blue hair was tied up in a pony. Her gaze was sharp and if someone looked closely they would immediately notice dark circles under her eyes.

The moment she arrived in the hall, she noticed Kyle's figure and looked at him with a deadpan expression. In the past two months, she suffered a lot due to Kyle. Not just Serena, even the Queen was frustrated because she was the one who permitted Kyle to enter the event.

It was okay if Kyle quietly won the event but not even in her wildest dream did she imagine he would win the event with so many points!

'This rascal!'

Serena cursed inwardly. Kyle's actions were everything but 'quiet'!

Now Kyle's name was famous everywhere in the elf Kingdom so she had to give away his true identity. The King was quite furious at first when he found out Kyle was from the neighboring Kingdom but for some reason, he calmed down after talking with Han through a communication device.

Serena sighed, she didn't want to see any more surprises. The interrogations she suffered for the past two months were already enough to give her a headache.

'Let's finish all this as soon as possible or else my headache is going to get worse!'

She grumbled inwardly and patted Jolee's shoulder to get her attention.

"What?"

Jolee turned around to look at her with a frown but then Serena bent down to whisper in her ears.

"Do Kyle's talent test first. The King wants to see him."

Understanding flashed through Jolee's eyes. She nodded her head and gazed back at the participants.

"Let's start the talent test without wasting more time. I will start with the person who gains the highest points in the first round of the event."

"Kyle Ohan please step on the stage."

A pin-drop silence enveloped the hall as everyone followed Jolee's gaze to look at the silver-haired boy standing in the middle of the crowd.

Kyle's body stiffened when he heard Jolee's words. He blinked.

'Wasn't Serena here to save me from the talent test? Why are they checking my talent before everyone else?'

His eyes widened as he stared at Serena who was standing behind Jolee.

However, Serena only stared back at him with a displeased expression. She opened her mouth and said harshly.

"What are you waiting for? Step on the stage we don't have an entire day."

Kyle was speechless. So, his true talent was going to get revealed just like that? He looked around and saw no escape. His wandering eyes paused at Regius and Yue. They were standing at a distance.

A sigh escaped his lips and under everyone's stare, he stepped onto the stage.

Kyle stood in front of Jolee and looked at Serena with a hesitant expression.

"Can't we do the talent test somewhere else?"

Serena scoffed.

"Just do it. I already know your true talent. Not just me a lot of people know about it. All thanks to Han who bragged about it to everyone. Moreover, no need to worry after the test you are leaving with me."

Kyle's eyes trailed to the crystal and nervousness flashed through his eyes.

Indeed Han knew about his talent... but he wasn't aware of the fact that Kyle's talent increased and reached the limit of the mortal talent.

Kyle took in a deep breath and nodded.

'Here goes nothing. I hope master will handle everything.'

Jolee heard his exaggerated breath and chuckled. Just how high was his talent to do this much drama? She shook her head and asked Kyle to place his hand on the Crystal.

With a nod, Kyle placed his hand on the crystal.

The hall was quiet and almost all the eyes were on Kyle.

Especially the Royal envoy he was practically boring holes at Kyle's hand.

Within a second, a dim light appeared around the floating crystal and the crystal started shining with an intense glow.

Jolee smiled stiffened as she looked at the bright crystal.

Serena patted her shoulder with a frown. She knew Kyle's talent was (SS)-Rank but she wasn't aware how to check talent through the crystal.

"So what's his talent?"

Instead of Jolee, the Royal envoy's cold voice rang out in the hall.

"Kyle Ohan. (SSS+)-Rank talent. He passed the second round."
