Chapter 2031: The Final Trial
In the nearby room, the two elders stared intently at the crystal stone screen!
"Bang!"
When the light lit up at the hundredth scale, Elder Zhong sprang up, and because of the sudden movement, the chair fell to the ground!
The other elder also took a deep breath!
At this moment, the shock in their hearts was much more intense than before!
"Old Han, do you still remember the record of the spiritual power test?"
Elder Zhong muttered.
"How could I not remember?"
Old Han said:
"It should be eighty-two steps, almost a million years ago."
They knew how difficult it was to improve spiritual power as it got higher!
Eighty-two steps and a hundred steps are completely two different concepts!
Moreover, at this moment, the scale bar was still rising!
...
"That should be about enough now!"
When it reached one hundred and six steps, Su Chen thought to himself, and withdrew his hand.
At this moment, the people around were completely dumbfounded!
Even the sound of breathing seemed to stop completely at this moment!
One hundred and six steps?!
Unimaginable!
He’s not human!
They didn’t know that Su Chen was already holding back!
Su Chen didn’t pay much attention to their shock and was about to move on to the next and final part.
The Lingwu Sect’s assessment is divided into three parts: a gravity field, a soul testing pillar, and finally, a strength test!
After all, for a Martial Artist, the most fundamental and only standard is strength!
The other tests are merely to assess the potential future upper limit of your strength!
However, as it’s an entrance examination, it’s not difficult. You just need to prove your strength has reached the Seventh Turn of the Creation Realm!
Every month, the Sect selects a disciple as a challenger to test newcomers in the examination.
Naturally, selected disciples receive certain cultivation resources as compensation, so many are willing.
Moreover, the challenger, regardless of their cultivation level, will suppress their strength to the Seventh Turn of the Creation Realm!
As long as the new challenger lasts longer than half an incense stick of time, they pass!
Just as Su Chen was about to proceed to the final test, a voice rang out.
"That’s enough, you don’t need to take the final test."
At that moment, a voice rang out.
Everyone heard the voice, quickly turned back, and saw two elders walking over!
"Elder Zhong, Elder Han!"
Everyone bowed in greeting.
Su Chen looked over and frowned slightly; it seemed these two elders were the ones who ultimately decided if the examination was passed!
"Indeed, you’ve proven your talent. We’ll make an exception for you, and you don’t need to take the final test."
Elder Han said, looking at Su Chen.
"Thank you!"
Su Chen also bowed, after all, they were the elders and had good intentions.
"We disagree!"
However, at that moment, a voice rang out.
An Outer Sect disciple said:
"Elder Zhong, Elder Han, I mean no disrespect, but the examination is the rule for the Sect’s talent selection and is related to the Sect’s inheritance. If you open such a precedent, I think it’s inappropriate!"
"Indeed, seniors, rules cannot be broken!"
"I also agree, otherwise, there might be some gossip."
...
For a moment, several people expressed disagreement!
These people were the ones who mocked Su Chen the most before. Su Chen’s smooth passing made them look bad, so naturally, they wanted to cause trouble!
Moreover, they believed it didn’t matter how easily the kid passed the gravity field or how terrifyingly high his spiritual power was; one thing couldn’t change!
That was his Cultivation Realm, which was First Turn of the Great Supreme Realm!
So, the moment the actual strength test came, his shortcomings would be exposed, and it would be unsightly!
In this way, they could regain the face they had lost!
The two elders were also a bit hesitant upon hearing this. To be honest, the reason they came out specially to make this exception for this young man was for fear that his strength was insufficient!
After all, the gulf between the First Turn of the Great Supreme Realm and the Seventh Turn of the Creation Realm is just too vast!
There was simply no possibility!
But they didn’t want to give up on such a monstrous young man!
Even though his current cultivation was low, they had no doubt his future potential was immeasurable!
He must not slip away, as letting him join another Sect would be their fault!
"Elder Zhong, Elder Han, please consider our opinions carefully, this is also for the future of the Sect."
The Outer Sect disciple who spoke first said.
Su Chen glanced at this righteously speaking Outer Sect disciple, the corner of his mouth curling into a faintly amused smile.
This was the person who mocked him the most before. Anyone with sense could see that his fine-sounding words were merely to save face!
"Why are you smiling, am I not speaking logically?"
The person saw Su Chen’s smile, feeling as if he’d been seen through, and complained unhappily.
"You are correct, I greatly agree!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned!
This kid actually agreed?!
Is he courting death?!
The selected challengers from the Sect won’t hold back. Even if they suppress their strength to the Seventh Turn of the Creation Realm, he, a mere First Turn of the Great Supreme Realm, can’t possibly challenge that!
Elder Zhong and Elder Han were also a bit baffled!
They were prepared to use their authority and influence to force the young man to pass. As for the opposition, didn’t they see through the motives of these Outer Sect disciples?!
But unexpectedly, the young man actually said it was reasonable and agreed!
Now what were they supposed to do?!
"Agreeing is good, not just anyone can sneak into the Lingwu Sect!"
He Tang snorted coldly.
In his view, no matter how brilliant the kid’s performance was before, if he couldn’t pass the last test, it would be useless. According to the assessment rules, he’d still be eliminated!
Su Chen looked at him, his smile growing broader:
"I wonder if defeating you would count as passing?"
These words left everyone more befuddled than before!
What did this kid say?
Does he want to challenge He Tang?!
Is he crazy or has he lost his mind?!
Other than those two reasons, they couldn’t think of another one!
One must know that, the challenger in the test, regardless of strength, would suppress it to the Seventh Turn of the Creation Realm, but He Tang was at the Ninth Turn of the Creation Realm!
Courting death couldn’t be more straightforward!
"What did you say?"
He Tang was also baffled by these words and stammered in inquiry.
If others hadn’t heard it too, he would have thought he misheard!
"What, don’t you dare?"
Su Chen tilted his head slightly, saying with an easy smile.
