 "text": "Within the Aperture, naturally, lies the sea of primeval essence.\n\nThe sea’s surface was smooth as a mirror, showing a verdant blue hue, yet it was extremely viscous, carrying a bronze luster.\n\nThis was the bronze primeval essence condensation that only first-turn Gu Masters possessed, commonly known as the Bronze Sea.\n\nThe sea’s surface did not even reach half the height of the Aperture — only 44%. Such was the limitation of C-rank aptitude.\n\nEvery drop of seawater was primeval essence, representing the condensation of Fang Yuan’s essence, energy, and spirit, symbolizing the life potential he had accumulated over fifteen years.\n\nGu Masters used this primeval essence to drive their Gu worms. In other words, from this moment onward, Fang Yuan had officially stepped into the ranks of first-turn Gu Masters.\n\nHis Aperture had opened, and no more Hope Gu could flow into Fang Yuan’s body.\n\nFang Yuan withdrew his mind, only feeling the pressure ahead as thick and solid as a wall, impossible to advance even a single step further.\n\n“Just like in my past life.” He smiled faintly at this result.\n\n“Can you not go any further?” The Academy Elder called out from across the shore, clinging to a one-in-ten-thousand hope.\n\nFang Yuan simply turned around and walked back, answering him with action.\n\nAt this, even the youths came to their senses.\n\nInstantly, with a buzz, the crowd erupted.\n\n“What? Fang Yuan walked twenty-seven steps?”\n\n“So he’s only C-rank aptitude?!”\n\n“Unbelievable. With talent like his, he’s only a C-rank?”\n\nA huge uproar swept through the crowd.\n\n“Big brother…” In the crowd, Gu Yue Fang Zheng raised his head, staring in shock at Fang Yuan wading back across the river. He could not believe what he was seeing. His own big brother was only a C-rank?\n\nHe had always believed that his brother would have A-rank aptitude."
