Chapter 31

“You’ve passed the second test!”

After a long time, the voice of the monitoring elder finally rang out.

As the monitoring elder finished speaking, Su Chen slowly walked toward the third formation.

This was the talent test. Everyone was very curious about how talented a person who could enter the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm and at the same time cultivate a yellow-level upper-rank and a black-level lower-rank martial arts to the extreme was.

“What level of cultivation methods and martial arts do you think Senior Brother Su Chen can comprehend?”

Just as everyone was waiting, a junior brother suddenly asked.

His eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement.

“With Senior Brother Su Chen’s talent, he will definitely be able to comprehend an earth-level cultivation method!”

Beside him, a junior sister who had received guidance from Su Chen said with certainty.

“If Mu Qingxue can comprehend an earth-level middle-rank martial art, then Senior Brother Su Chen will definitely be able to comprehend an earth-level cultivation method or martial art!”

“That’s right! With Senior Brother Su Chen’s talent, he can at least comprehend three earth-level cultivation methods or martial arts, or even the earth-level upper-rank ones!”

…

Under everyone’s burning gazes, Su Chen, who had just stepped into the third test’s formation, suddenly saw the virtual interface pop up in front of him.

[Comprehending three earth-level middle or upper-rank cultivation methods and martial arts: 1/200]

[Comprehending three earth-level middle or upper-rank cultivation methods and martial arts: 2/200]

“Senior Brother Su Chen is blessed with great providence. He will definitely be able to comprehend three earth-level middle or upper-rank cultivation methods and martial arts!”

Hearing the conversation of his junior brothers and sisters, Cao Yun nodded in agreement and said, “I heard that if one wants to comprehend any cultivation method or martial art from that mysterious stone tablet, it is not only related to his talent but also his providence… There’s no need to talk about Senior Brother Su Chen’s talent. It’s rare to see someone who can enter the Forbidden Dtage in the Qi Gathering Realm in the history of the East Barrens! As for the providence… Senior Brother Su Chen is blessed with great providence. He is able to escape death three times and successfully break through. It must be the legendary great providence! Even Mu Qingxue could comprehend an earth-level middle-rank martial art, it’s possible that our Senior Brother Su Chen is able to comprehend three middle or upper-rank cultivation methods or martial arts, right?”

Many junior brothers and masters who supported Su Chen nodded in agreement after hearing Cao Yun’s remark.

Even the other outer sect disciples could not help but nod when they heard this.

“It’s reasonable! Senior Brother Su Chen is blessed with great providence. It was easy for him to comprehend three earth-level middle or upper-rank cultivation methods and martial arts!”

He Jing said approvingly.

Her eyes had been fixed on Su Chen from the beginning to the end. After hearing Cao Yun’s words, she was more expectant.

“You’re right! Senior Brother Su Chen is blessed with great providence. Senior Brother Su Chen will definitely be able to comprehend three earth-level middle or upper-rank cultivation methods and martial arts easily!”

“Even Lu Zhen is able to comprehend two black-level cultivation methods and martial arts. Senior Brother Su Chen is blessed with great providence, so he will definitely be able to comprehend the earth-level middle or upper-rank cultivation methods and martial arts.”

…

Su Chen’s supporters began to brag.

Su Chen’s performance in the first and second tests gave them a lot of confidence.

They believed that Su Chen would definitely amaze everyone in the third test again!

This time, none of the disciples showed any mocking expressions.

Because they were slapped in the face by Su Chen’s performance in the second test, they did not dare to continue mocking him in their hearts.

[Comprehending three earth-level middle or upper-rank cultivation methods and martial arts: 188/200]

[Comprehending three earth-level middle or upper-rank cultivation methods and martial arts: 189/200]

[Blessed with great providence: 1000/10,000]

The strength that Su Chen displayed in the first and second tests was simply too stunning. Many of the outer sect disciples present had full trust in him.

When they heard Cao Yun and the others bragging, they secretly agreed in their hearts.

As Su Chen arrived in front of the Divine Prowess Stone, the first progress bar was filled up in an instant.

[Comprehending three earth-level middle or upper-rank cultivation methods and martial arts: 200/200]

Buzz…

Three currents of mysterious and pure energy appeared in Su Chen’s mind.

“Looks like Star Shattering Slash was not used in vain…”

Su Chen murmured softly as he felt the three additional energies in his mind.

Originally, he was not prepared to perform Star Shattering Slash. One move of Star Shattering Slash could draw out more than half of the spiritual energy in his body.

However, on second thought, he didn’t need to fight in the third test. He might as well perform it directly and let everyone brag about it to maximize the benefits.

Why not?

“What level of cultivation methods and martial arts do you think he can comprehend?”

Elder Wang asked while looking at Su Chen with a serious expression.

He was very curious about what level of cultivation methods and martial arts Su Chen can comprehend with his aptitude.

Could Su Chen really comprehend three earth-level middle or upper-rank martial arts as the outer sect disciples had said?

“The earth-level!”

Elder Li said indifferently.

If Mu Qingxue was able to comprehend an earth-level martial art, Su Chen, who was even more powerful than her, would definitely be able to do the same!

Elder Xie looked at Su Chen calmly and did not say anything.

However, he was filled with anticipation.

There was no doubt about Su Chen’s talent, let alone his providence.

If one wanted to comprehend the cultivation methods and martial arts from the mysterious stone tablet, both providence and talent were indispensable!

Su Chen had both of them and was not weak in those two aspects!

Especially his providence!

“I hope you can surprise me in the third test!”

Elder Xie murmured to himself.

Su Chen’s expression was calm as he stretched out his slender fingers and gently placed them on the tablet.

Buzz…

In the next moment, a terrifying hazy light descended and instantly enveloped Su Chen, spreading in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, it had shrouded the entire Trial Peak.

Everyone lost their vision at this moment, and all they could see was the hazy light.

Purple-gold characters slowly appeared on the stone tablet: Rare-Grade Upper-Class!

However, it quickly disappeared from the stone tablet, and the hazy light also disappeared in an instant.

The entire place fell into a strange silence.

“Have any of you seen the level of his talent?”

Elder Wang squinted at the Divine Prowess Stone as he asked softly.

“I didn’t see it clearly…”

Elder Xie shook his head slightly, looking confused. He turned to look at Elder Li and the two monitoring elders and asked, “Did you see it clearly?”

Elder Li and the two monitoring elders shook their heads, equally confused.

“The hazy light from the stone tablet just now was too strong. You know that this hazy light can block divine sense. The naked eye can’t see through such a dense hazy light.”

Elder Li looked at Su Chen and said.

“It seems that only he knows his talent.”

Elder Xie narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Chen.

His heart was already in turmoil. Such a strong hazy light had never appeared in the entire history of the Great Mystery Sect.

Even if it was a super-grade upper-rank talent, the stone tablet did not have so much hazy light.

Elder Li and Elder Wang were equally shocked. They looked at Su Chen curiously.
