Chapter 17
âOld Xie, tell me honestly, did Su Chen really step into the Forbidden Stage?â
Elder Wang glared at Elder Xie.
...
Elder Li also stared at him. Even the two monitoring elders were equally shocked.
If it wasnât for the fact that they had to monitor the other outer sect disciplesâ trials, they would have wanted to get to the bottom of this question.
The outer sect elders were powerful, so they could hear the discussions of the many disciples below.
Moreover, He Jing and the others werenât far from them, so the discussions couldnât be hidden from them.
They didnât mind that Su Chen was surrounded by so many outer sect disciples.
However, those outer sect disciples actually said that Su Chen had already entered the Forbidden Stage. This made them raise their spirits.
All the elders present knew very well what the Forbidden Stage meant.
âWhy are you all looking at me? I never told anyone that Su Chen had stepped into the Forbidden Stage!â
Elder Xieâs face was filled with innocence.
Indeed, he had never told anyone that Su Chen had entered the Forbidden Stage.
Cao Yun had this headcanon and then spread it. It had nothing to do with him.
âIâm not asking if youâve told anyone. Iâm asking if Su Chen has stepped into the Forbidden Stage.â
Elder Wang was still staring at Elder Xie with an anxious expression.
âWell⊠If you believe it, then itâs true. If you donât believe it, then itâs false. I donât know how to explain it.â
Elder Xie stroked his beard meaningfully and continued, âAlso, canât you see it by yourself? Why are you asking me?â
âTo advance from the seventh level of the Qi Gathering Realm to the Forbidden Stage in two months, the probability is so small that it can be completely ignoredâŠâ
Elder Wang frowned and muttered in a low voice.
Elder Xieâs expression gave him an ominous feeling.
However, his rationality told him that the probability of such a thing happening was infinitely close to zero.
Elder Wang subconsciously looked at Su Chen who was exuding charm and overpowering everyone present.
Elder Wang noticed that Su Chenâs attention was on Liu Yang.
Although Elder Wang was far stronger than Su Chen, it was impossible for him to see through Su Chenâs cultivation when Su Chen was concealing his aura.
Unless he had some very powerful eye technique!
Unfortunately, eye techniques were very rare in the East Barrens and were not something that an outer sect elder like him could cultivate.
Therefore, before Su Chen released all his aura, he couldnât know what realm Su Chen had reached.
Su Chen did not notice Elder Wangâs gaze.
With his top-notch charm, countless gazes were on him at all times. He gradually got used to it.
At this moment, he was analyzing the gap between Liu Yang and himself.
Liu Yang was very powerful!
He was one of the top cultivators in the same realm. Otherwise, he would not have been able to defeat thirty puppets without suffering any injuries.
However, in Su Chenâs eyes, Liu Yang would not be able to block more than five of his moves!
The actual combat test was difficult for Liu Yang, but for Su Chen, it was not difficult at all.
What he was more curious about now was how powerful Lu Zhen and Mu Qingxue were.
The outer sect of the Great Mystery Sect was very vast. These two people didnât belong to the same area as Su Chen, so it was rare to meet them.
However, Su Chen had heard of these two peopleâs names because they had a well-known reputation.
Based on the rumors in the outer sect, Mu Qingxueâs strength should be on par with Liu Yangâs.
There was a high chance that Lu Zhen was the strongest among the three!
However, this was not absolute!
Because there were always people who liked to hide their strength.
Before Su Chenâs strength was completely exposed, most of the outer sect disciples thought that Lu Zhen was the strongest in the outer sect!
âItâs the talent test now!â
âItâs finally time for the talent test!â
âI wonder what level of talent Senior Brother Liu Yang has, and what kind of cultivation methods and martial arts he can comprehend?â
âIâm looking forward to it!â
âŠ
While the outer disciples were whispering to each other, Liu Yang came to the mysterious stone tablet and put his palm on it after taking a deep breath.
Elder Xie, Elder Wang, Elder Li, and the two monitoring elders also looked at Liu Yang quietly.
Not far away, Lu Zhen and Mu Qingxue also kept their eyes nailed on Liu Yang.
Compared to Liu Yangâs expected strength, everyone was more concerned about his talent.
The stone tablet cast a hazy light.
In the next moment.
BuzzâŠ
Four golden words appeared: Top-Grade Lower-Class!
âTop-grade talent!â
âHe has a top-grade talent. It seems that I didnât guess wrong!â
The hazy light cast by the stone tablet did not dissipate.
Liu Yang slowly withdrew his palm and sat down cross-legged. He faced the mysterious stone tablet with his eyes closed.
Everyone knew that he was going to start comprehending the information in the mysterious stone tablet!
At this moment, both the disciples and the elders all held their breaths and stared at him.
Every disciple participating in the outer sect trial could stay under this mysterious stone tablet for half the time it took to brew a pot of tea.
If one could not comprehend any cultivation method or martial art after this time, it meant that one was not talented and intelligent enough.
Liu Yang sat down cross-legged for a few breaths before the mysterious stone tablet released even more hazy light.
âHe made it!â
âHe successfully comprehended it! Senior Brother Liu Yang is so powerful!â
âHe does have the top-grade talent. No wonder he can comprehend something so quickly!â
âI wonder what grade of cultivation methods and martial arts he comprehended?â
âŠ
The more hazy light the stone tablet emitted, the higher grade the cultivation methods or martial arts one comprehended.
Not long after.
The golden characters on the mysterious stone tablet suddenly changed, revealing new information: Yellow-Level Upper-Rank Mountain Shaking Fist!
âThe yellow-level upper-rank Mountain Shaking Fist, that is within my expectations,â Elder Wang said with a nod after glancing at the characters on the mysterious stone tablet.
The other elders nodded in agreement.
It had been a long time since anyone had been able to comprehend a black-level martial art. To be able to comprehend a yellow-level upper-rank martial art, Liu Yang was worthy of his top-grade talent.
At the same time.
Under the mysterious stone tablet, Liu Yang slowly opened his eyes. There wasnât much excitement on his face.
The yellow-level upper-rank martial art was enough for him to use after he broke through to the Qi Sea Realm, but he was not satisfied with this result.
He originally thought that with his talent, he would at least be able to comprehend a black-level cultivation method and martial art.
However, the truth disappointed him greatly.
Pondering for a while, Liu Yang prepared to break through to the Qi Sea Realm on the spot and comprehend with the help of the mysterious state of his breakthrough again.
But after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.
He felt that he could improve his cultivation for another period of time to become stronger.
Thinking of this, Liu Yang slowly stood up.
âChallenges completed. You are rated excellent in the tests! Liu Yang is promoted to an inner disciple!â
The monitoring elder saw Liu Yang stand up and announced the results.
Liu Yang didnât look too happy when he heard that. He quietly returned to his original position.
To him, even if he didnât pass the outer sect trial, he could still be promoted to an inner sect disciple.
Following that, another three Level Nine Qi Gathering Realm outer sect disciples went on stage.
Two of them succeeded with difficulty, and one failed in the actual battle test.
âNext, Lu Zhen!â
