Seeing the dark color, everyone's eyes went wide.
And then, after a moment of dead silence—absolute pandemonium erupted!
"Indigo! It's actually indigo!"
"There's actually someone with an indigo-ranked talent!"
"I can't believe it!"
Disciples were stunned. Recruits were stunned. Even the stone-faced Elders watching from their high seats were suddenly leaping out of their chairs like bingo grandmas at a jackpot.
"I WANT HIM!"
"NO, I WANT HIM!"
"FUCK YOU ALL, I'M TAKING HIM!"
The Elders, who were supposed to be the wise and dignified pillars of the sect, immediately devolved into a pack of squabbling chickens. They jostled, shoved, and nearly threw spirit stones at each other. Some were already preparing to physically dive into the arena and claim the boy like a spiritual piñata.
"SILENCE!" a thunderous voice roared.
