Novel Bin Chapter 150 - Angela's Guardian: Wayde Part 2
It took 10 seconds for the talent grading crystal to react and when it did, there was a very bright red light that shocked the members of the Maxwell Family that were testing Wayde and Wayde himself.
Wayde had E:3 grade talent, which was quite rare and high level, and what impressed the Maxwell Family most, was his elemental affinity with the Fire Element, which was at the same grade as his talent.
The talent gauging crystal could only gauge talent up to E:1 graded talent, but that was enough as nobody in New York had been able to publically surpass that level, and talent that surpassed that was unheard of for most cultivators in New York.
His talent was 1 in a million and was one of the best that the Maxwell Family had found in Brooklyn while testing young children, especially since he had a rare elemental affinity, which would allow him to wield the Fire Element.
It was a completely unexpected occurrence and Wayde\'s talent was even higher than most cultivators in the Maxwell Family and all the other large cultivation families.
The Maxwell Family would take most children that had talent that was F:5 graded or above, depending on the child and whether or not they were looking for new members, however when they saw Wayde\'s talent, they were shocked and took him in without thinking twice.
At that time he was 7 and he was easy to brainwash and manipulate, especially since he didn\'t have any strong connections or ties with other people, since he was an orphan.
The head of the Maxwell Family personally oversaw Wayde\'s training for 1 year, where he trained Wayde both internally and externally. He wanted Wayde to be as powerful as possible to protect and fight for the Maxwell Family, but he also made sure to completely brainwash him.
The 7-year-old boy experienced arduous training that was similar to torture and all throughout, he was being continuously reminded that he was the servant of the Maxwell Family.
His mind broke in that year and since then he would only speak when he was ordered to or needed to. He literally became their lapdog as all he thought about was doing as he was told by the leader of the Maxwell Family and protecting it.
After the Maxwell Family Head was sure that Wayde was loyal and wouldn\'t betray them, he provided him with a method that cultivators that had an affinity with the Fire Element would cultivate.
It was one that one of the previous heads of the family had been able to acquire and was one of the most valuable and powerful cultivation methods that were in the possession of the Maxwell Family had.
The current head of the Maxwell Family didn\'t have an elemental affinity, but one of the previous family heads was a cultivator of the fire element and had left behind his cultivation method, technique manuals and skill books.
Since he had no use for them and after confirming that Wayde was loyal and had been completely brainwashed, he began providing him with those resources, while also assisting him in his cultivation.
Wayde focused mostly on Internal Cultivation, but also cultivated externally as per the head of the Maxwell Family\'s instruction, so that he was able to overcome any situation.
Before one\'s body was fully developed after puberty, cultivation would have negative effects on the body and would also limit one\'s future potential.
Because of that, most wouldn\'t begin cultivating properly until they were at least 12 years old, so Wayde was mostly trained and educated on the fundamentals and didn\'t cultivate too much.
In that time, he was trained mostly in combat an taught most things that he needed to know and would help him to serve the Maxwell Family.
After 3 years of Wayde being taken in by the Maxwell Family, he was 10 and on that year, an elder of the Maxwell Family gave birth to a daughter.
As soon as she was born, her talent would be tested and her talent was E:2 graded, which was incredible and meant that she had the potential to become a high level Advanced Cultivator, slightly more talented than Wayde.
It was one of the highest talents that the Maxwell Family had given birth to in the past few decades and she was immediately valued by her family that saw her as one of the candidates for the next family head.
The Maxwell Family, like most other large families, didn\'t care about gender and only cared about talent and power, which if one had, they would be valued.
The 3 years of training revealed to the leader of the Maxwell Family that Wayde\'s perceptivity, skill and power were incredible, considering his young age, so was the perfect person to become Angela\'s guardian.
The girl, just like Wayde, had an elemental affinity and it was with the water element, which was also very rare and powerful.
The most talented of the large cultivation families in New York had talents that were graded at the peak of the E grade, which meant they had the potential to cultivate to the peak of the Advanced Cultivation Level.
It was hard to surpass the threshold of one\'s talent grade, but to reach one\'s potential, one couldn\'t completely rely on one\'s talent grade and Angela Maxwell was the perfect example of that.
She had one of the highest talent grades in the young new generation of cultivators in New York, yet her cultivation level was average. That was mostly due to her spoilt and arrogant nature and the first that was able to tame her attitude was Adam who with the use of the Charm Skill, had managed to make her respect him despite being weaker than her.
Wayde was exceptional and even though his talent was slightly lower than that of Angela, was much more powerful and skilled when he was her age.
Angela needed to be humbled and become more hardworking, and Adam was the first step to that happening.
