Chapter 1733: Who Carries A Throne With Them?



Suzanne and the three others from the Crescent Moon Faction didn't have any choice but to break the silence. It was obvious that Klaus didn't have any intentions of going up before them, and due to their high status in the Crescent Moon Faction, the group was used to always being the last three to step forward for things like these. It somewhat showed that they were a notch above the rest. They either went out first, or last. But now, Klaus didn't have any plans of stepping forward, he obviously wanted them to step up first.

Seeing this, one of the Elders from the Crescent Moon Faction coughed lightly to indicate to the youngsters to step up quickly, after all, they didn't have all the time in the world. At the moment, time is something they currently lack as the Gnomes were already setting up some small settlements in the Aurora Continent.

One of the young men in the group snorted coldly when he noticed that their Elder was telling them to act first. He turned his cold eyes to Klaus, only to see him actually take out what looked like a legit throne made from gold, and in the presence of everyone, he sat down comfortably.

These people were all geniuses who were infinitely arrogant, but none of them felt they could do what Klaus was currently doing in such a situation.

Who even carries a throne with them?!

This was the question in the minds of almost everyone, with the exception of those from the Moonlight Faction, that is. They've been in contact with Klaus for some years now and knew that he had a throne. He even bragged about soon acquiring a castle that would go with his throne. But thinking about the space needed in a spatial ring to contain such a castle, none of them took him seriously. No one in the current Aurora Continent has a spatial ring with more than thirty to fifty square meters of space in it. Most of the spatial rings available to people don't even go above ten square meters.

The young man looked at Klaus a while longer before he walked forward. He was in the Ninth stage of the Sovereign Plane, yet he had to act before Klaus, someone who was in the Fifth stage. They were around the same age, yet he was four stages higher than Klaus. He didn't believe they could both be regarded as even close to equals, he was miles ahead of Klaus.

The young man walked to the ice wall, steadied himself, and placed his palm on the wall, staring at the building of the ice chamber calmly. He knew that a large majority of this aptitude test relies mostly on their talent as a Water Elementalist, and given his talent, he was confident that his result wouldn't be too shabby.

The carving on the wall soon lit up, and each floor quickly started to light up. The lights raced from the First floor all the way to the Tenth floor before it showed signs of slowing down. It soon got to the First Order of the Tenth floor, but it didn't stop there. Before everyone's eyes, it calmly entered the Eleventh floor, stopping in the First Order.

The young man took back his palm, shooting a nonchalant look at Klaus. His expression, however, soon took a turn when he noticed that the other person he seemingly unconsciously wanted to show off in front of, wasn't even paying him any attention. Klaus was currently playing with a bird he created entirely from snow. What changed the young man's expression wasn't Klaus' nonchalant attitude but the snowbird Klaus was playing with. It almost gave off a life-like feeling, but he could clearly tell that it wasn't alive.

The young man's prolonged gaze drew the attention of most of the people from the Crescent Moon Faction to look in the direction of his gaze, and what they saw shocked them just as much as it shocked the young man.

Klaus' control over his ice ability was astonishing. It's not that none of the people here couldn't create a snowbird like the one Klaus just created; the issue lies in how he was making it move like a life-like bird. If not for the vitality it lacked, almost anyone would be fooled by its fluffiness. The control needed to make it move in such a life-like manner was outstanding, and even some of these Elders in the Half-God Plane didn't dare to say they could achieve the same feat.

Everyone's evaluation of Klaus took a turn the second this thing appeared. If Klaus' control was this high, he clearly had enough right to act in this prideful manner. Of course, they still didn't like the fact that he seemed to be looking down on them, but they also couldn't deny the fact that he truly was different.

Klaus, who was seated on his throne playing with the bird that was flying above his palm, furrowed his brows and raised his head, seemingly feeling uncomfortable from the continuous stares he was getting. His eyes met with that of an Elder from the Crescent Moon Faction, before slowly shifting to the left, where Suzanne was standing. In the Hall, Klaus was the only one seated, and on a throne no less, so he was particularly eye-catching.

Suzanne met his gaze and nodded to him, before reminding the youth next to her to go up for the test.

The young man who got to the First Order of the Eleventh floor had walked back to the group. Suzanne and the others congratulated him for his high achievement, after all, the First Order of the Eleventh floor could almost be said to be the highest possible height most talented geniuses could reach. In the past thousand years, only two people have gotten to the Twelfth floor, and it was the Second Order no less.

The young lady whom Suzanne signaled to step forward walked to the ice wall and placed her palm on it.
