Angry Monk had just been shut down by Flower Venerable, leaving him frustrated and seething with anger.

Now, he had finally found an opportunity to vent.

"More than half of all Celestial Destiny Seekers comprehend combat-related Rules. A basic defense-breaking Rule like the Shatter Rule is considered rather mediocre even among S-Levels."

"On what grounds are you reporting an S+ potential rating?"

The Celestial Destiny Seeker representing Longya City snorted coldly at his words.

"We at Longya City made the rating ourselves. If it’s deemed incorrect when the Celestial Destiny Society Headquarters sends someone to verify it, then it’s the Potential Points of all of Longya City’s Celestial Destiny Seekers that will be deducted."

"What’s it to you!?"

"If you don’t think it’s reasonable, just don’t vote for it later."

"At least our Longya City actually awakened a Celestial Destiny Seeker this year. Your Furnace City hasn’t had a new one for three years straight."

"If it were me, I’d be worried sick. How would I have the mind to care about other cities’ business?"

If this weren’t a Xin Xia Federation meeting, Angry Monk, with his temper, would have probably smashed the long table in front of him and erupted in fury long ago.

The enmity between Forging Furnace City and Longya City ran deep, but it was true that Forging Furnace City hadn’t produced a single Celestial Destiny Seeker in three years.

Being mocked like this by an old rival, he was left with no words to refute it.

Flower Venerable glanced at Angry Monk, whose veins were bulging on his forehead, and spoke in an elegant tone.

"It’s a good thing for any city to have a new Celestial Destiny Seeker. Our voting is just a formality; there’s no reason not to approve it."

"Besides, someone from the Celestial Destiny Society Headquarters will verify it anyway. I never worry myself with the affairs of other cities."

"Our Beihan City’s new Celestial Destiny Seeker is named Zhang Shan. Her awakened Order Beast is the Blood Lamp Mother, which is a rare, humanoid Order Beast."

"We at Beihan City have given Zhang Shan a potential rating of S+ Level."

At this point, Flower Venerable paused for a moment before continuing.

"If not for the fact that Zhang Shan lacks a Beastmaster Talent, I would have considered rating her potential as SS Level."

Hearing Flower Venerable’s words, even Sleep Emperor, who was dozing at the head of the table, grew interested.

"Flower Venerable, I know your standards for a Celestial Destiny Seeker’s potential rating have always been strict."

"For you to praise her so highly, I’m a little curious. What Rule exactly did this humanoid Order Beast named Blood Lamp Mother comprehend?"

Flower Venerable didn’t keep them in suspense, her tone tinged with a bit of regret as she spoke.

"During the Soul Awakening Ceremony, the Awakening Master initially thought Zhang Shan had awakened a Bizarre."

"If it hadn’t been discovered that the Guardian Beast she awakened possessed the Power of Rules, it most likely would have been handled as a Bizarre."

Hearing Flower Venerable say this, the expressions of the Celestial Destiny Seekers present didn’t change much.

Some Celestial Destiny Seekers’ Order Beasts controlled Rules leaning towards darkness and death. The scenes within their Soul Bases could be even more terrifying than those in the Soul Base of a Deceit Beast Master awakening a Deceit Beast.

Cases where a Celestial Destiny Seeker was mistaken for awakening a Bizarre during their Soul Awakening had happened before.

The crowd listened as Flower Venerable continued.

"This humanoid Order Beast, Blood Lamp Mother, is by far the most unique Order Beast I have ever seen."

"The Rule Authority it controls, Flesh Endowment, allows it to modify Bizarres of the Flesh and Blood Element."

"It can transfer its own Power of Rules to other Bizarres of the Flesh and Blood Element, allowing the recipient Bizarres to be used as if they were S-Level Celestial Destiny Seekers."

Flower Venerable’s words brought peculiar expressions to the faces of everyone present, including Sleep Emperor.

A Celestial Destiny Seeker’s power lies mainly in the Rule Authority their Order Beast is born with.

This Order Beast, Blood Lamp Mother, could share its Rule Authority with other Flesh and Blood Bizarres, allowing the modified Bizarres to control the Power of Rules.

In battle, they could then contend with Celestial Destiny Seekers who also possessed a Rule Authority.

Even if they weren’t as good as a true Celestial Destiny Seeker who had mastered a Rule Authority, they should at least be about eighty percent as effective.

After all, Flesh and Blood Bizarres possess considerable combat power on their own!

"I plan to personally help Zhang Shan raise this Order Beast, Blood Lamp Mother."

"Right now, at the Extraordinary Tier, it can share its Flesh Rule with two Bizarres. At the Mythical Tier, it should be able to distribute its Rule to at least four."

"I believe that with the abilities of Zhang Shan’s Order Beast, Blood Lamp Mother, it deserves an S+ Level potential rating."

Sleep Emperor chuckled at her words.

"If, in the future, this new Celestial Destiny Seeker from Beihan City can share her Rule with six Flesh and Blood Bizarres,"

"I can make the executive decision to raise her potential rating to the SS Level."

"For now, if it can only share its Rule Authority with two Flesh and Blood Bizarres at the Extraordinary Tier and she hasn’t comprehended a Beastmaster Talent, then an S+ Level rating is already the ceiling."

Beihan City ranked fifteenth among the twenty-nine Heroic Cities. Zhuxue City, ranked sixteenth, had no new Celestial Destiny Seeker to announce.

Jin Cai stood up, raised his head high, and announced in a clear voice.

"I’m sure everyone has already heard that our Starlight City has produced a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker."

"What is his Healing-element Order Beast called? What Rule did it comprehend? What is his Beastmaster Talent? It’s inconvenient for me to disclose any of that."

"The rating Starlight City has reported for him is SSS Level!"

Everyone present already knew that Starlight City had produced a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker.

But they didn’t know that the potential rating Starlight City had reported for him was SSS Level!

A question arose in the minds of many present: ’Isn’t the highest potential rating SS Level?’

Even if Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seekers were so rare in the Xin Xia Federation that there was only one, a potential rating of SS+ would already be the absolute peak.

’What were the people from Starlight City thinking, giving a potential rating of Triple S!?’

The Celestial Destiny Seeker representing Starlight City at the Xin Xia Federation meeting hadn’t even clarified what the new healer’s Order Beast was called or what healing Rule it controlled.

When a Beastmaster Talent had been comprehended, it was normal not to disclose it.

’But if he won’t reveal the specific Rule the Order Beast comprehended, how are the rest of us supposed to vote?’

As soon as Sleep Emperor heard the "Triple S" rating, he knew it must have been given by the Star Emperor.

Otherwise, the other Celestial Destiny Seekers from Starlight City wouldn’t have had such audacity.

The moment Sleep Emperor thought of the Star Emperor, his expression suddenly softened.

The Star Emperor was the type of person who was only ever high-profile when he held an absolutely overwhelming advantage.

Otherwise, he was usually so low-key that he was practically unnoticeable.

If the Star Emperor wanted to rate this new Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker from Starlight City as SSS Level, Sleep Emperor was willing to give it a push.

"Since your Starlight City has set this new Celestial Destiny Seeker’s potential rating at Triple S, you must have a reason for such a rating."

"We also need to know this little fellow’s name."

Jin Cai had been observing the expressions of the other Celestial Destiny Seekers. Seeing their looks of astonishment was more satisfying to him than a mouthful of wasabi.

"His name is a secret in Starlight City. To protect his safety, we do not plan to disclose it publicly."

"His title is Su Sheng. If any of you here wish to seek his help in the future, it would be more polite to address him by his title."

Jin Cai’s words made the curious expressions on the faces of the Celestial Destiny Seekers, including Flower Venerable, deepen.

Flower Venerable exchanged a look with the Sun Monarch beside her, and both understood the other’s thoughts from their eyes.

’This new Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker from Starlight City must be extraordinary.’

’Otherwise, the person representing Starlight City at this Xin Xia Federation meeting wouldn’t be acting so pompous.’

Even if a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker’s current strength was still weak, the thought of befriending him had already sparked in the minds of both Flower Venerable and the Sun Monarch.

Angry Monk had been unhappy since being shut down by Flower Venerable at the very beginning of the meeting, and was then mocked by the Celestial Destiny Seeker from Longya City.

Hearing Jin Cai’s pompous tone, Angry Monk couldn’t help but speak up.

"Heh, Su Sheng?"

"Even if he is a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker, he’s just a junior."

"Are we, the older generation of Celestial Destiny Seekers, supposed to eagerly address a junior by his title? Is he even worthy of it?"

"Your Starlight City is being far too flippant with its potential rating report."

"No matter how rare Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seekers are, an SS Level rating is enough."

"Does your Starlight City’s Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker have the ability to perform Tier Jumping and heal Order Beasts, or what?"
