"So, how many do you think will fall unconscious this time?" Erica asked beside me;. "Ten," Hazel replied, "Twelve," said Ryan. "I say seven," said Erica.

  　　Grandmaster Charline and I did not focus on what the assistants were saying and instead focused on the thirty-seven screaming people who had taken nine blood-burning essences.

  　　It had been three weeks since we crafted nine blood-burning essences, and this is the last badge that is going through its baptism. All the people have gone through it; these were the last ones till the new badge of tyrant got admitted into the project.

  　　It is a good thing we have bound their bodies; otherwise, we would see them flailing like fishes like had happened with the first badge.

  　　Nobody had expected it, and thankfully, Grandmasters Charline and I were present and were quickly able to control those flailing masters. Still, it was quite surprising to see them behave like that.

  　　With nine blood-burning essences, we have also found quite talents; in around twelve hundred and nine people in the project who had gone through the baptism of nine blood-burning essences, we have found twenty-three people who barely made any sound.

  　　They bore the pain with gritted teeth. 

  　　There were fifty-nine who were able to circulate the fire through their veins with supreme combat exercise, including the twenty-three who barely made any sound.

  　　81% of people who were able to accomplish that were a century and above old, which is not surprising. Those people have huge experiences and have gone through many things has sharpened their will so that they could bear the tremendous pain.

  　　"First," said Ryan beside me; he did not even dare to lower his voice, clearly mocking the one that had felt unconscious.

  　　"Don't mock Ryan; you were also screaming and flailing when you consumed the burning essence," Erica admonished, "Yes, but I did not fall unconscious and was even able to circulate burning essence through my veins for a few minutes," He said, clearly feeling proud.

  　　Ryan Wheeden, he is from alchemy like Hazel, while Erica Maxwell is from healing; she is a student of Grandmaster Charline.

  　　All three of them did very well when they consumed the nine blood-burning essences a few days ago, especially Hazel and Erica. Both of them were able to create two ruby seals while widening their veins by 7%, which is a huge accomplishment.

  　　All three of them are Masters and very talented in their respective fields; with speed, they are learning, and in a max of three years, all three of them will be able to get the distinction of Grandmaster in their respective fields.

  　　While in a two years max, they will advance to Grandmaster class; they might be able to do it in a year.

  　　"Second," Ryan said with the same mocking tone, but this time, nobody admonished him. Unless Grandmaster Charline or I am admonishing him, he will not listen.

  　　A few more minutes passed, and two more became unconscious. It is my seed that made them fall unconscious as the pain began to break their mind; I do not want any damage to happen to them; every single of them hold the potential to become a Grandmaster.

  　　Losing a single one of them would be a great loss, considering the resources and efforts I have put into them.

  　　"Hun! This one had begun circulating the method," said Ryan with shock; he is not the only one who is shocked; even I and Grandmaster Charline were also quite surprised seeing.

  　　This batch of people is very young; all of them are elite and below thirty years of age. The one that had just begun circulating the supreme combat exercise is even younger; she is just twenty-three years old, just about my age.

  　　"Name Priya Welsh, talent average, inheritance average; her psych shows above-average resilience but nothing of what is happening right now; the only reason she was able to admit in the project due to her suitability with directors method," stated Erica as she pulled out her info.

  　　A few minutes passed, and a few others fainted, but nobody had glanced at them as all of us focused on this young woman who was doing surprisingly good. 

  　　She did not stop or even slow down; instead, her circulation speed increased threefold, and it is increasing.

  　　Grandmistress Charline quickly signed off a few gestures, and I couldn't help but agree with her. "Yes, Grandmistress, we have truly found a gem," I said, and I added her name to my special list.

  　　One could get talent with resources and even Inheritance or Bloodline with enough luck, but luck is useless when it comes to will. It is forged in blood and fire; this young woman has forged her to be unbreakable.

  　　Since she has such will, I will help her get power; so she will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with apex Inheritance and powerful bloodline. If she keeps her will as sharp as it is right now, she will have the power to even surpass them.

  　　Half an hour passed, and the power of the fire began declining, and in the next fifteen minutes, it had disappeared from them while giving them huge benefits, especially to Priya welsh, whose mana veins had not strengthened and widened by 11%, she had also ended up creating a diamond seal.

  　　"Congratulations, everyone, for surviving the baptism, and as always, not a single word of it spread outside when you joined the battlefield the next day," I said while Grandmaster Charline and I pressed them with our aura.

  　　They have received the benefits, but they also need to understand the rules of it, and first and foremost is not to talk with anyone about it, not even with your spouses or parents.

  　　There have been some idiots who have spilled about the project; thankfully, the secret agents have caught them before they could do any damage.

  　　"All of you follow Miss Erica out and let her check you," I said; we have all the data we need but do these things for psychological reasons.

  　　"Miss Welsh, stay; we have some things to talk about," I said when she was leaving with the rest of the people.
