Limitless - Chapter 138: Alien?

Kaboom!

The club’s walls were once again the victim as Niu Pengfei smashed a hole in them.

Niu Pengfei’s body flew over the huge courtyard of the club and landed next to the road outside.

Chu Yu himself was very happy with the accuracy and control he had over that punch!

When the boss of the Flying Dragon Club, Long Fei, heard that Chu Yu was here, he tried to rush down and began to pray that nothing bad was going to happen.

Just as he thought about it, a call came through from the club to tell him that a hole had been smashed in the wall and someone had been thrown on the streets.

Long Fei, who had been extremely worried, sighed when he heard the news.

This confused the people beside him.

"Don’t have to be surprised, it is very nice of him not to destroy our entire clubhouse!"

Long Fei laughed bitterly.

Times were different, the Chu Clan youth whom he had looked down on previously had grown up.

Even though many would still not fear and respect Chu Yu, Long Fei believed that this man would awe the world in the near future! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Long Fei’s car arrived at the entrance to the clubhouse, but he did not enter.

Instead, he looked at the youth on the pavement, his face completely swollen.

Many people surrounded that man, pointing at him.

Long Fei looked at the youth and stiffened. Then he whispered to his driver, "Let’s go."

"Ah? Go? Boss, where to?" The driver was stunned.

"Anywhere will do, we can’t stay here. This water is too deep for us."

Long Fei sighed, his expression bitter.

Even though he was one of the more influential people in Yan Jing, he was a nobody in the face of the true cultivators.

They would be able to kill him many times over.

When Long Fei saw Niu Pengfei, the youthful talent who had been making waves in the capital, beaten up, he knew that he could not say anything even if his entire clubhouse was smashed.

At this point, Niu Pengfei finally regained consciousness.

He felt the group of people surrounding him and immediately released the strong aura in his body.

Boom!

Almost like a storm, it threw all the spectators off their feet.

Many of them flew into the air and fell to the ground, moaning.

"Remember next time that there are dangers to spectating!"

Niu Pengfei’s eyes were ice cold as he walked back towards the Flying Dragon Club.

However, before a minute was up, he was sent flying out and he crashed into the pavement with a huge bang.

This time, even though the people didn’t approach, they all looked at him with hatred from afar.

This time, Niu Pengfei did not faint. He could not help but scream and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Inside the clubhouse, Caixue looked at Chu Yu and complimented, "Good job Chu Yu, I never imagined that your battle prowess would be so legendary."

Caixue’s eyes revealed her subtle excitement.

Chu Yu was speechless, he thought to himself, Yet another violent girl.

Qiao Na could not help but murmur, "We were all classmates, yet the attacks are so vicious..."

Caixue’s gaze was penetrating as she glared at Qiao Na. After unsettling her, she said, "Enough is enough."

Qiao Na’s face paled and didn’t say anymore.

Even though she had tried to cultivate, she couldn’t even break through a single acupoint.

She could not take the bitterness and could not take the grinding and loneliness.

She had always fancied herself as a talent because she was great academically.

Even though the world had changed for more than 30 years, there were many who were still apathetic towards it, like Qiao Na.

This attitude had been similar to people’s attitudes towards nuclear weapons before the world had recovered. Even though they knew about it, no one truly cared about it. So what if they existed? They can’t throw it on my head!

However, if they ever witnessed the destructive power of a nuclear bomb, they would be frightened beyond belief.

People like Qiao Na spoke without thinking.

After being rebuffed by Caixue did she realize that some things were not as she imagined!

Caixue also glanced at Chu Yu and said, "Sorry, I never expected things to end up like this."

Chu Yu was calm and nodded, then he smiled apologetically at his schoolmates, "I am sorry, I didn’t want things to turn out like this, we will meet again if fate allows."

Then he looked at the shocked Meng Fei and said, "Find me if you need help, you have my contact."

Then he left.

Everyone was stupefied, their expressions complicated.

Anyone who could enter Yan Jing university was relatively smart. After hearing what Chu Yu said they finally understood why gods and mortals should not mix. .

They were vastly different!

Many of them only heaved a sigh of relief when Chu Yu and Caixue left.

Then, many people looked at Meng Fei with envy!

Everyone understood how lucky he was to be treated as a friend by Chu Yu.

Meng Fei himself smiled bitterly, shook his head and left, ignoring everyone.

In a quiet tea house.

Caixue and Chu Yu were seated in a small room.

"How should I say this, I began cultivating from a young age. At that time, I hated it. On the other hand, I enjoyed the activities that ordinary people could do.

Caixue smiled, then said, "They all told me I was a talent and my family found me a great amount of superior cultivation resources. Then, amidst my dislike of cultivation, I continued to train. I only began to embrace my identity as a cultivator after I entered the Invigorated Meridian Stage in high school."

Chu Yu gasped internally, there were indeed many talents in the world today. He had never expected Caixue to be such a talented cultivator.

Even though she never told him her legacy, Chu Yu opined that anyone who could enter Xiantian at this age without using any pills must have unimaginable backing.

"When I met you in university, I had a feeling that you were not ordinary." Caixue smiled. She was beautiful when she smiled. Then she whispered, "The truth confirmed my assessment."

Chu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly. Her love had given him quite a bit of pressure.

Caixue looked at Chu Yu seriously, "You must be careful, there have been many people investigating you recently. Those who wanted to check up on you via the government have been rebuffed by me."

"Investigate me?" Chu Yu frowned.

Caixue nodded, "Mm, they want to find out what kind of secrets you are holding on to. Even though the government doesn’t have much information on you, I do not want you to be investigated, so I classified all information regarding you as Top Secret."

Chu Yu looked at Caixue, slightly astonished. She was effectively telling Chu Yu that she was from the government.

"Thank you..."

"It’ll be meaningless if you have to thank me." Caixue’s eyes swept over Chu Yu, "Actually, after finding out about you and Lin Shimeng, I have been hesitating. I do not want to come between the two of you. But at the same time, I do not give up on things I like. Especially men."

Chu Yu looked at her speechlessly.

Caixue smiled, "You don’t have to look like this, and you don’t have to feel any pressure. In this life, I have never loved another man other than you and my dad."

"How is this not giving me pressure?" Chu Yu exclaimed, "This is a mountain of pressure!"

"Then you’ll have to live with it, you’re a guy anyways." Caixue smiled then asked, "What are your plans now?"

Chu Yu thought about it, "I’ll probably go explore some ancient monuments? Then I’ll improve myself. I aim to become powerful before the world breaks out in chaos."

Caixue stared deeply into Chu Yu, "This time, I had called you over because I wanted to tell you some things face to face. I didn’t expect that... you already know. Then I shan’t beat around the bush. We all think so too. This world will become extremely crowded in the near future."

Chu Yu replied, "To be honest, it’s already a little crowded now."

Caixue nodded, "Mm, for example, people like Niu Pengfei."

Chu Yu also nodded, "Do you know who is backing him...."

Caixue shook her head, "I don’t, but I think it might not be from this world."

Same guess!

Then Caixue continued, "But it doesn’t have to come from outside our solar system." She looked at Chu Yu, "It could be something from another planet within the solar system."

"Aliens?" Chu Yu could not help but laugh.

Caixue laughed too, "I don’t think the fact that aliens exist is shocking anymore?"

However, both of them did not expect that an alien would be knocking on their doors very soon.

A young man, calling himself the servant of a god, flung open the doors to the teahouse and stared at Chu Yu and Caixue. "Do you both know your crime?"

Chu Yu frowned, "Who are you?"

"I am the servant of a god..." The youth said arrogantly.

"Servant of a god?" Chu Yu murmured, "Slave?"

"Commoner! How dare you call me a slave? Even your ancestors have to kneel before me! Have their descendants all become so reckless and rude?"

The youth was extremely arrogant and looked down on Chu Yu and Caixue.

He was slightly nicer towards Caixue, "You’re not bad, you may have a chance to be a servant to the god too, then you can be like me!"

Caixue was dismissive, "Be a slave? No thanks."

"Go to hell!"

This youth immediately attacked and directed a terrifying aura right at Caixue.

Chu Yu block Caixue with his body then glared at this youth exuding King’s Realm aura and said solemnly, "Scram!"

Then, he punched.

Limitless - Chapter 137: Conflict

University lasted four years, three and a half to be exact, since everyone left school to pursue their dreams in the final semester.

In those three and a half years, Chu Yu spent half his time in the laboratory.

Back then, he was manically trying to break the seal on his body, where would he find the energy to think about other things?

He didn’t even have much contact with Lin Shimeng... who was Lin Shi now.

During his entire time in university, he had virtually never used his vertical eye to observe others.

Just like how no one expected him to be such an expert, he had never expected... that Niu Pengfei would be this powerful.

Xiantian!

A youthful Xiantian!

Such a person was rare, even in the superior ancient sects.

Chu Yu had decided to go to school because he had no other choice. He could not cultivate!

However, Niu Pengfei was definitely not faced with the same situation.

Would that mean that this relatively low profile student was actually cultivating in the shadows?

Chu Yu frowned, finding it a little unbelievable.

Niu Pengfei did not look at Caixue, instead staring coldly at Chu Yu and repeated, "Chu Yu, do you know the error of your ways?"

At this point, Caixue’s body also exploded with a wave of aura. Chu Yu did not have to look to know what level that aura was at.

Xiantian cultivator!

Yet another Xiantian!

How was this possible?

Chu Yu was stunned.

As for the other students, most of them were completely stupefied.

They all stared at Niu Pengfei and Caixue, wide eyed.

They couldn’t even understand what was going on. Why was it that both of them were beginning to get aggressive?

More importantly, how could it be that they were both exuding such powerful and majestic auras?

It was almost like two large mountains were crushing down on them.

The two of them did not reveal the full extent of the aura, else, everyone bar Chu Yu woud be immobilized on the ground.

Niu Pengfei was slightly shocked, he squinted at Caixue, "You too?"

Caixue smiled icily, "Do you think everyone is like you? Willing to be a lackey?"

"You..." Niu Pengfei’s expression turned ugly as he glared at Caixue and said coldly, "Don’t meddle in this affair, it has nothing to do with you."

Niu Pengfei looked at Chu Yu, "Aren’t you very powerful? I thought even a Xiantian cultivator was not your match? Ah... don’t think that I didn’t know that you had the help of Lin Shimeng last time. If it wasn’t for her help, can trash like you even defeat a Xiantian cultivator? This time it is the same story, you choose to stand behind a girl. Can you have some guts and fight me like a man?"

Chu Yu looked at Niu Pengfei, completely stunned, not only did he open his vertical eye, he began to use the Pill Bending Technique.

The Pill Bending Technique was able to find traces of pills anywhere!

Chu Yu did not believe that Niu Pengfei was a talent.

Even though there were many talents in this world, Niu Pengfei was definitely not want of them.

Chu Yu would be more willing to accept the fact that Caixue was a talent and had been cultivating.

Using the Pill Bending Technique, Chu Yu found a large amount of superior pill residue.

Indeed!

Chu Yu was slightly shocked.

Niu Pengfei had actually taken a pill which launched him into Xiantian.

Where did he get it from?

"Why? Are you scared speechless?" Niu Pengfei could not resist but laugh arrogantly.

The other students paled, but they all looked at Niu Pengfei with hatred.

They did not really like Chu Yu, but no matter what, they were schoolmates.

Why would Niu Pengfei pick a fight with someone he had no feud with?

Chu Yu used his vertical eye to observe Niu Pengfei’s body. He was trying to analyze the pros and cons of such a pill.

Through his analysis, Chu Yu found out that Niu Pengfei had only attained the Small Circle of the Acupoint Charging and Invigorated Meridian Realms

This would mean that the pill he took was not the type of pill which launched someone into Xiantian, whilst ensuring that the foundation was fully completed.

However, a pill like this would be considered a real treasure to many.

"Kneel down and talk to me!" Niu Pengfei began to get impatient with Chu Yu’s lack of words.

He gave a cold snort, a wave of energy rushing out from his body, crashing down on Chu Yu like a mountain.

If Chu Yu’s cultivation level was any lower, he would be locked to his spot.

Caixue snorted and waved her hand. A terrifying wave of energy rushed towards Niu Pengfei’s suppressive force.

Niu Pengfei stopped his attack and the energy disappeared instantly. Then, he smiled coldly and looked at Chu Yu condescendingly.

"You are indeed a boneless man standing in the shadows of ladies! What right does a trash like you have to let someone like Caixue like you for so many years?"

Niu Pengfei’s expression was twisted, his gaze on Chu Yu ferocious and mocking.

Chu Yu looked at Niu Pengfei, deep in thought. He had completely ignored Niu Pengfei’s words.

He was wondering, how did he manage to get to Xiantian?

Did such a terrifyingly powerful sect exist? How did they manage to refine such a pill after just 30 years of the world recovering.

Or is it that this pill... never originated from this world?

If Lin Shi could bring him various items from the Mirror World, could it be that... other Mirror World talents had already made the crossing?

For example... that demonic girl Xu Xiaoxian?

Or maybe... the mysterious black robed man who had smashed the Three Leaves Sect?

However, these were merely guesses.

In Chu Yu’s opinion, as the world recovers, the ancient sects would have more of such talents and capabilities.

He did not use his vertical eye to observe Caixue, but he did use the Pill Bender Technique.

Chu Yu was stunned, Caixue did not have any superior pill residue in her body!

This would mean that the girl who had chased him for four years was a true talent!

Chu Yu began to make sense of it after thinking about Caixue’s origins.

Even though the government was low profile and never interfered in the conflicts of the cultivation world, it did not mean they did not have the ability!

In actual fact, even before the world had recovered, the authorities had held a large amount of information about the cultivation world.

It had been this way since the ancient days, but this fact had always eluded the masses.

Chu Yu’s thoughts flashed by quickly.

Caixue looked at Niu Pengfei furiously. She really regretted asking Chu Yu to come over. She felt extremely guilty having to make Chu Yu go through such a humiliating experience.

"Chu Yu, let’s go!"

Caixue looked at Chu Yu apologetically.

Chu Yu finally recovered and smiled at Caixue. Then he looked to Niu Pengfei, "What did you just say?"

Everyone looked at Chu Yu, completely stunned. Was this guy faking it or was he really so brave? Can’t he tell that Niu Pengfei wants to harm him?

Niu Pengfei looked coldly at Chu Yu, "I said, you’re a boneless man hiding behind ladies! And, kneel down and admit your mistakes!"

"Do I have a feud with you?" Chu Yu asked solemnly.

"No, I just don’t like your face." Niu Pengfei said coldly.

"So I have no feud with you, and you just don’t like my face?" Chu Yu confirmed.

Niu Pengfei smiled coldly, "Yes, so what?"

Kaboom!

Chu Yu jumped into action, he raised his palm and slapped Niu Pengfei.

Niu Pengfei roared, "You..."

Before he could finish, a crisp smack echoed out.

Pa!

This sound had stunned everyone in the club.

Niu Pengfei clutched his face, visibly stupefied as he looked at Chu Yu.

"Scram."

Chu Yu frowned and looked at him, "I don’t care about why you want to harm me, and I don’t care who is backing you. We were classmates. You humiliated me, I slapped you, now we are even. Now let me give you some advice. Someone like you who entered Xiantian without having a good foundation is really not powerful."

Niu Pengfei’s eyes glimmered as he looked at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu continued, "Even a slightly stronger Invigorated Meridian martial artist would find it easy to defeat you. If I didn’t guess wrongly, you probably don’t even know a single sacred art?"

Caixue looked at Chu Yu in amazement.

This gave Chu Yu a headache, why would someone as great as Caixue like him?

Niu Pengfei’s eyes flashed with hate, fear spreading across his face.

He did not understand. That man had told him that once he entered Xiantian, there would be very few people his age who would be his match.

He didn’t have to do anything else, all he needed to do was transform his energy into an aura. That would be enough to choke someone!

If he directed his aura at someone, he could break their bones and inflict lethal damage!

So why is it that... Chu Yu is unaffected?

He really did not have any feud with Chu Yu, but the person backing him had told him to humiliate Chu Yu and not let Chu Yu be able to face his schoolmates ever again.

He then told Niu Pengfei to post it on social media and reveal the truth behind this piece of trash!

But this was too far from what he had expected. Chu Yu’s slap had shattered Niu Pengfei’s dreams.

He, who had entered Xiantian immediately, was being trashed!

His ego was being trampled on by others.

Niu Pengfei’s eyes turned red as he glared viciously at Chu Yu. He grit his teeth, "I’ll kill you!"

As he spoke, he began to move.

His speed was many times faster than the speed of sound. Few people in the crowd could see his actions clearly.

In the next moment, Niu Pengfei was sent flying.

Chu Yu’s icy voice could be heard, "If you don’t want to scram, I will help you and send you flying!"

True Martial World - Chapter 271: Yi Yun’s Score

"Master..." The two disciples looked at one another with odd expressions. "These test transcripts… were they done by cultivators from Tai Ah Divine City?"

"Of course!" Yuehua was curious, "Is there a problem?"

Yuehua's answer made the two disciples speechless, "Master, I think it is best that you look at it in person. There is one test transcript that is very odd..."

"Odd?"

Yuehua was slightly stunned. Recalling the cultivators present, Yuehua did not find anyone odd. Besides Luo Huo'er, there were only a few others, like Yang Yuefeng, who were barely acceptable.

And this acceptable standard was only by using the Tai Ah Divine City's standards. But the cultivators that came to the Tai Ah Divine City every year added up to a million people over the span of 500 years. In the long river of history, these elites would usually slowly be buried.

Yuehua followed her two disciples to the other room where they were grading the test transcripts.

In the pile of test transcripts, one test transcript had been singled out.

Although this test transcript had been previously graded, there was no score on it.

"It's this piece..." One of the two girls said. They had already worked out the score to that transcript.

It was only because they felt it was too ridiculous that they did not dare to fill it.

"Oh?" Yuehua took the scroll and scanned it with her mental powers. She first looked at the simplest thing, the three energy reservoirs.

It was filled up to 45%!

Compared to Luo Huo'er's 60%, it was nothing much. But according to the Tai Ah Divine City's standards, this was definitely the best. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

By filling it up to 45%, a score of 151 was given.

"Barely satisfactory." Yuehua gave this evaluation in her mind. One could not see much from simply the filling quantity. Next was the energy control, which was the 182 fine rune paths.

Seeing golden light emitting from it, Yuehua could already sense something. She did not use her mental powers to quickly scan it. She thoroughly checked every rune path, just as carefully as when she checked Luo Huo'er's.

"Perfect, perfect, perfect..."

Yuehua analyzed the methods of the examinee and her expression grew solemn. This person's precision in his energy control was surprising.

"It's not any worse than Luo Huo'er!"

Yuehua was very surprised. Energy control was much more important than the quantity of energy extracted as it depended on talent.

If a person really could be comparable to Luo Huo'er up to a certain extent, then it would be a really big surprise!

"The Tai Ah Divine City actually has two monstrous geniuses appearing at once..."

Yuehua muttered to herself as she carried on looking at it, "Perfect, perfect, and still perfect!"

It was perfect up to the 100th fine rune path.

Following that, 110, 120, 130!

Up to the 130th fine path rune, every path had been perfectly filled, this stunned Yuehua greatly.

She had originally thought that this examinee might be able to barely catch up with Luo Huo'er, but she never expected that his energy control would exceed Luo Huo'er’s!

Luo Huo'er first defect came after completing 126 fine path runes.

But this person maintained his perfectly.

140, 150...

Yuehua was very shocked!

She slowly began to become short of breath. She stared unblinkingly at the test transcript.

Although she was eager to know the final result, Yuehua's grading speed became slower and slower.

Every rune path was examined carefully by her.

It was still perfect up to 170!

Could this test transcript be...

Yuehua's expression turned incredulous.

The more she wanted to know the result, the slower she graded. Yuehua's expression really looked as if she had just read a compendium left behind by an ancient Desolate Heaven Master.

180, 181, 182...

All the 182 fine rune paths were perfect!

A perfect score!

Yuehua froze. It took a while before she was able to regain her composure.

She had deliberately prepared the test to make Luo Huo'er sweat. It was something that would definitely make all the other Tai Ah Divine City examinees complain. But yet, there was someone who managed to get full marks on energy control!

She finally understood why her two disciples came looking for her with such odd expressions. This definitely did not look like a examinee's answer script, but like the model answer scheme!

364 points from the energy control, with 151 points for energy extraction.

This test transcript scored a total of 515 points!

Luo Huo'er had only earned 494 points, yet this person scored 515!

This was a ridiculous score!

Who was this monster?

Yuehua took a deep breath and turned the scroll over. The examinee's names were written behind the scrolls.

And all she saw was two words, "Yi Yun".

Yi Yun?

Who's Yi Yun?

Yuehua did not pay attention to the Tai Ah Divine City's rookie ranking competition, so it was natural that she had never heard of this name.

"Check to see who Yi Yun is!"

Yuehua said to her disciples. It was easy to check on a person in the Tai Ah Divine City. Everyone received an identity token when they entered the Tai Ah Divine City.

Soon, Yuehua received Yi Yun's details and saw Yi Yun's picture.

Seeing the youth's picture, Yuehua became dumbfounded.

How could it be him!?

She never dreamed that Yi Yun would be the youth dressed in linen clothes.

Yuehua had gotten everyone to refine a desolate bone relic, but that youth was standing there like a fool. When he was asked why he did not do anything, the reason was because he did not know the Desolate Heaven technique.

He did not know the Desolate Heaven technique, yet he managed to score 515 points on his test!

Was this a joke?

Although energy extraction was a basic of the Desolate Heaven technique and did not need much Desolate Heaven technique knowledge, it needed both talent and one knowing the methods to extract energy.

In theory, it was possible for those who did not know the Desolate Heaven technique to be good at extracting energies...

But this was in theory. Practically, one had to obtain perfection through practice.

If this person had never attempted to extract energy before and reached such a standard in his first time, then it was too ridiculous!

It was incredible!

Could this kid be bluffing me when he said that he did not know the Desolate Heaven technique? But what would be the point in lying?

Yuehua gripped Yi Yun's test transcript tightly as she read through Yi Yun's details. She noticed that Yi Yun actually came from a small tribal clan in the Cloud Wilderness.

A person from a small tribal clan in the Cloud Wilderness had no background. They were worse off than common civilians. Desolate Heaven Masters were like gods to them. It was common for them to not have any contact between one another.

In other words, when Yi Yun said that he did not know the Desolate Heaven technique, it was likely the truth...

For a person who does not know the Desolate Heaven technique to obtain such an achievement..

Yuehua muttered to herself. It was like she was in a dream.

True Martial World - Chapter 270: Yi Yun’s test transcript

When Yi Yun left the central divine tower's classroom, he did not immediately return to his apartment but decided to first head to the Ten Thousand Pagoda.

Practicing the Desolate Heaven technique required a large amount of desolate beast materials to support it. Only then could one have ample practice.

Large numbers of cultivators of the Tai Ah Divine City went out into the Divine Wilderness daily to hunt desolate beasts. Some aimed to condense or strengthen their Aspect Totems, while others simply wanted to hone their combat skills.

The desolate bones and other materials from the dead desolate beasts would then be left in the Ten Thousand Pagoda for sale.

It wasn’t only Desolate Heaven Master apprentices from the Tai Ah Divine City who would buy these items, even other factions of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom would sometimes make a one-time mass purchase.

"Five Element crocodile's bones, Four Symbols Snake's teeth, Metal-back Eagle's claws, Heavy Armor Giant Rhinoceros' horn..."

Yi Yun created a purchase list according to his understanding of the Desolate Heaven technique.

The cost of these materials ranged from tens of dragon scale runes to above a hundred dragon scale runes.

By buying everything in bulk, Yi Yun quickly spent 20,000 dragon scale runes.

These materials were enough to fill two of Yi Yun's interspatial rings to the brim.

"Practicing the Desolate Heaven technique is truly to spend money like water. Thanks to my previous windfall, I can squander it like this. Any typical cultivator would need to consider before spending anything. It's almost impossible to learn the Desolate Heaven technique in the Tai Ah Divine City. They can only use their family clan's resources while still in their families, learning it from a young age before coming to the Tai Ah Divine City, using the Desolate Heaven technique as a way to be self-sufficient."

Many Desolate Heaven Master apprentices would buy materials and practice with them. At the same time, they would use these materials to produce desolate bone relics they could use to exchange for some income. Only then could they barely make ends meet.

"Not only do I want to practice the Desolate Heaven technique, I also need to find time to go to the Wilderness Divine Hall to practice the 'Myriad Beast Totem'. Although I am not lacking in dragon scale runes, I'm lacking in time..."

With this thought in mind, he headed towards his apartment in the central divine tower.

At that moment, at the 98th floor of the central divine tower, Yuehua had just returned to her room. This was a large 300 square meter room. The furnishings in the room were simple, quaint and extremely elegant.

The 98th floor of the central divine tower had four rooms. Each room came equipped with a cultivation room, an alchemy lab and a relic room. The area totaled up to above a thousand square meters. The 98th floor of the central divine tower had very dense Yuan Qi, dense enough for even for four sages to cultivate. It was quite nice. More sages and the concentration of the Yuan Qi would become insufficient. So no matter how big the rooms were, it was not a waste.

Yuehua walked into her hall and took off her long robe. She then took out the student's test transcripts from her interspatial ring and placed them on a table.

She picked up a single transcript from the pile. It was Luo Huo'er's scroll.

There were also two other girls present that looked to be around twenty. They casually walked over and picked up the rest of the transcripts.

A girl laughed and said, "Master, since you are eyeing Luo Huo'er, why don't you just take her in as a disciple. Why do you want to use this method of teaching a public class? There will be all sorts of nondescript characters entering your class."

These two girls were Yuehua's disciples. They may look twenty years old, but they were several hundred years old.

Yuehua shook her head, "Luo Huo'er's background is mysterious. The cultivation technique she cultivates and the methods of her Desolate Heaven technique is quite different from the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's orthodox heritage. There are even several aspects in which Luo Huo'er's methods exceed the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom’s."

"A few days ago, many large factions of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom came with all sorts of favorable terms in an attempt to pull her in, or even just befriend her, but she maintained a distance from them. She even did that to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's royal family. Who knows, the faction she comes from might be even higher than the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's… If that is the case, she most likely has a master."

Yuehua had given it much thought. If Luo Huo'er had deep affections for her master, she would most likely reject her offer to be a disciple, which would make things awkward.

But Luo Huo'er's talent made Yuehua want to teach her. She had a feeling that Luo Huo'er's future achievements would exceed her own.

By building a master-disciple relationship with Luo Huo'er, especially with her powerful background, it would be very beneficial, not only for Yuehua but also for the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's royal family.

"I will look at Luo Huo'er's test transcript. I leave the rest for you."

Yuehua casually said. Actually, due to her strong mental powers, it would be easy for her to grade a hundred transcripts quickly. But she would not do so because these people were not her disciples.

"Yes!"

The two girls took the transcripts and left.

They had previously taken a similar test and knew Yuehua's marking criteria.

Yuehua tested two main points when assessing the Desolate Heaven Master apprentices' energy extraction.

One was the quantity of energy extracted, the other was the energy control precision.

The more energy that could be extracted, the stronger the refined desolate bone relic.

And the better one's control was, the higher the success rate of refining a desolate bone relic would be.

There were a total of 182 fine rune paths in the golden rune in of a test scroll.

These 182 fine rune paths tested the Desolate Heaven Master apprentices’ energy extraction and control.

Only a perfect extraction of every strand of Power of Desolates, with a perfect control would allow one be able to perfectly follow the 182 fine rune paths.

And besides the golden rune's 182 fine rune paths, there were also three other energy reservoirs.

These three energy reservoirs tested the amount of Power of Desolates a Desolate Heaven Master apprentice could extract.

The more energy the reservoir had, the harder it would be to fill it.

At the Purple Blood realm and Yuan Foundation realm, filling up the three energy reservoirs was almost impossible.

As for the way the scores were calculated.

They were done according to this metric.

For the energy control's 182 fine rune paths, perfectly filling a line earned two points, an imperfect filling earned one point.

There was a total of 364 points.

As for the three energy reservoirs, filling up one was worth 110 points, for a total of 330 points.

The total score was 694, but for a round figure, it was taken to be over 700.

According to past experiences, a typical Desolate Heaven Master apprentice would have an energy control of 140-150 points, and their energy reservoir would be about 80-90 points.

A total of 230-240 points was an acceptable score.

Exceeding 300 was very good.

At 350 points, one was a genius!

Above 400 points.. that was very rare. Even Yuehua's two disciples only managed to score 430-440 points when they took Yuehua's test in their teens.

This result would satisfy Yuehua.

Now, Yuehua was looking forward to Luo Huo'er's test transcript.

She wanted to see how many points a promising Desolate Heaven technique genius that she appreciated would obtain.

As she slowly unfolded the scroll, a rough glance from the sides made Yuehua smile.

Luo Huo'er's results would likely give her a surprise!

By first looking at the three energy reservoirs, she could tell the results with a glance.

When she sank her mental power into the three energy reservoirs, Yuehua could see that Luo Huo'er had filled them up with about 60% of energy.

This was quite a shocking number.

"Energy filling, 198 points."

Following that was the 182 fine rune paths which reflected one's energy control.

It was more important than the energy filling.

As the level of a Desolate Heaven Master increased, their ability to extract energy would increase steadily. But energy control was to a great extent a measure of talent.

The same level of Desolate Heaven Masters had different levels of energy control.

Seeing Luo Huo'er's scroll, Yuehua's eyes lit up. This feeling was like reading an ancient Desolate Heaven Master's compendium. It made her want to explore the unknown and look forward to the surprise.

"Perfect, perfect, perfect..."

With Yuehua's mental strength, she could quickly analyze the 182 fine rune paths' situation in a few seconds. But now, she was looking at each fine rune path Luo Huo'er made, seeing if there were any defects.

"Perfect, perfect, and another perfect!"

Yuehua's eyes lit up more and more. She had checked more than 100 fine rune paths by now, and Luo Huo'er's methods were all perfect.

"Oh… This rune has a defect..."

After checking 126 fine rune paths, a defect appeared. There was one fine rune path which Luo Huo'er did not fill.

This made Yuehua sighed. Although she knew that Luo Huo'er's ability to remain perfect up to now was marvelous, Yuehua who was yearning for perfection still felt a sense of regret when she found a defect.

"This rune path can only earn 1 point."

Yuehua shook her head. She sighed to herself that she was being too greedy. A teenage girl, who could achieve this was already a monster, what else was she looking for...?

The 127th fine rune path was also perfect.

Following that,

perfect and defective runes were interspersed.

The further back it went, the examinees would slowly find their mental strength weakened. Even Luo Huo'er was not an exception. There was no way she could ensure that every single rune path was perfect. Furthermore, they only had 15 minutes for the test.

After the 160th fine rune path, many of them were blank, without any energy.

This situation resulted in zero points.

Adding them all up, Luo Huo'er's energy control reached a total of 296 points!

This was definitely a monstrous score!

296 points, coupled with the other 198 points, Luo Huo'er's total score was on 494 points!

She was just 6 points short of 500!

Seeing this total score, Yuehua took a deep breath. It was extremely rare to obtain more than 400 points. 450 points was virtually impossible, so the difficulty of obtaining close to 500 was obvious.

"Luo Huo'er's future prospects cannot be measured!"

Yuehua was anticipating the future. Such a precious gem one could only come by with luck, not by searching for it.

Yuehua keep the test transcript carefully. A short while later, her two disciples hastily ran into the room.

"Pa!"

The door was flung open.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Yuehua was surprised. Her two disciples came from the royal family and from a reclusive family respectively. They were always well-mannered and elegant. Seldom would they appear so flustered.

True Martial World - Chapter 269: Reconciliation

Extracting energy was extremely simple for Yi Yun. However, injecting the energy into the golden rune required some Desolate Heaven technique knowledge.

He had to understand the reasoning behind the golden rune.

But, with the help of the Purple Crystal, this was not much a problem for Yi Yun either.

Back when Yi Yun cultivated the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', the process of drawing the picture of the sun using pure Yang Qi was a hundred times more complicated than infusing energy into this golden rune. Even so, Yi Yun had managed to complete it.

It was easy for Yi Yun to just copy the process mechanically.

But, Yi Yun was not satisfied with just that. While he was drawing according to the golden rune, he made sure to understand why the rune was drawn in the manner it was. He had to understand the reasoning behind the golden rune or he would never become a Desolate Heaven Master. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Yi Yun was very quick, the Purple Crystal's pull on the desolate bone's energy was silent, neither did it emit any light. One couldn't even feel any energy fluctuations.

This was the power of the Purple Crystal. Up to this day, everything the Purple Crystal had done went unnoticed by anyone else. The Purple Crystal was also completely ignored the two times Jian Ge examined Yi Yun's body.

Around Yi Yun, many of the others were looking bitter or very focused. Everyone was engrossed in this intense test.

As for Grandmaster Yuehua, she placed all of her attention on Luo Huo'er.

Seeing Luo Huo'er's methods, the undisguised appreciation in Yuehua’s eyes indicated that she treated all the Desolate Heaven Master apprentices as her students, but Luo Huo'er, she was her disciple!

Luo Huo'er was very fast at extracting the desolate bone energy, but Yi Yun was faster. If Yi Yun wanted, he could even complete everything in about 20 seconds.

However, to understand the theories within the golden rune, Yi Yun deliberately slowed down his pace.

But even so, Yi Yun only used about 7 minutes to extract the energy from the desolate bone he chose. There was still plenty of time left, and with Yi Yun's understanding of the golden rune deepening, he could already absorb another two desolate bones' Power of Desolates to fill up the golden rune.

If Yi Yun completely abandoned the attempt to understand the Desolate Heaven technique theories, he could even fill the golden rune up with energy. But, after thinking about it, Yi Yun decided against it. It would be too shocking.

After a second thought, Yi Yun chose another desolate bone, which was lower in quality and extracted its energy, injecting it into the golden rune.

In total, Yi Yun spent 10 minutes doing these things, so there was still 5 minutes left to the end of the test.

Besides Yi Yun, everyone else were basically fighting for each and every second before the test ended, including Luo Huo'er.

After all, the golden rune left by Yuehua had an enormous storage capacity. One could not fill it even if one had hour to do so, what more in only 15 minutes.

Luo Huo'er released a long, deep breath and massaged her sore wrists. She was very pleased with her test manuscript.

Raising her head, she saw Yuehua's look of approval.

Yuehua nodded at Luo Huo'er gently. Luo Huo'er smiled sweetly back as she had a favorable impression of this teacher.

She was not only amiable and kind, she was also pretty.

"Not bad, carry on practicing your methods. In time, you should be able to develop an extraction mystic technique that belongs to you alone."

Yuehua's rare praise was an extremely high appreciation.

When the surrounding cultivators heard this, they became extremely envious.

As they were still working hard on following the golden runes' paths, Luo Huo'er was already on the brink of developing an extraction mystic technique of her own.

It was really exasperating comparing.

Yuehua's appraisal made Luo Huo'er very happy. As she was rolling up her test scroll, she suddenly recalled something and glanced at Yi Yun secretly.

She saw that Yi Yun already stood properly, the scroll in front of him had already been rolled up.

"This rascal, it must have been hard on him… I do not know why he is so obsessed with the Desolate Heaven technique, but seeing his diligence, I hope he learns something..."

Luo Huo'er stopped caring about Yi Yun. Whether it was the desolate bone energy extraction methods or the golden runes on the test scroll, it was all too difficult for Yi Yun in her eyes.

"Hand in your scrolls!"

Yuehua said simply and with that, all the cultivators rolled up their scrolls and handed them over to Yuehua.

"Tomorrow the results will be released in the Divine City's Desolate Heaven Master Society. Class dismissed."

With that said, Yuehua immediately left.

Many of the cultivators left behind were still edgy. They did not know how good or bad their result would be.

"I didn't do well..."

Someone complained.

"Yes, it's quite difficult..." Another person shook his head, "I must say, Brother Yuefeng must have gotten excellent results!"

As a leader of the Chu royal residence's younger generation, Yang Yuefeng had a large circle of acquaintances in the Tai Ah Divine City. Many were happy to associate themselves with him.

At that moment, seeing Yang Yuefeng looking proud of his success, everyone had various thoughts and complimented him.

"Haha! All of you do not have to squeeze me. This test was not easy and my answers can only be considered acceptable."

"It's also good to be acceptable, Brother Yuefeng must still give a treat."

"Yes, Brother Yuefeng is probably going to shock everyone, making all of us envious!"

Many of them joked. It was common for the young masters’ circle to gather together, complimenting each other.

"Everyone must be joking, but since we are all gathered here, let's go to the Divine Moon Restaurant to enjoy ourselves!"

If Yang Yuefeng treated, it had to be at the Divine Moon Restaurant. This had to do with a young master's reputation. There were even different standards of spending in the Divine Moon Restaurant. A typical treat by Yang Yuefeng would cost several hundred dragon scale runes.

"Brother Yuefeng is an old sport!"

"No returning until we are all drunk!"

Their group laughed as they gathered their friends, heading towards the Divine Moon Restaurant.

Seeing this group disappear, Yi Yun leisurely packed his things and left the classroom.

He still had plenty of things to do.

The 'Myriad Beast Totem’ and the 'Truth of the Laws' both needed to be cultivated. Yi Yun's was tight on time.

Besides, in a while, Yi Yun was going to go out to hunt desolate beasts to condense his Aspect Totem. This was the most dangerous place for cultivation in the Tai Ah Divine City.

Many elites had died on this path of cultivation.

"Hey!"

Just as Yi Yun began walking, he heard someone call him. Turning his head, a girl in red was standing in front of him. It was none other than Luo Huo'er.

"Miss Luo..." Yi Yun coughed dryly. Whenever he saw Luo Huo'er, he could not help but recall that scene...

"In the future, if you want to use the training ground, tell me in advance. I do not like to share the training ground with others."

Luo Huo'er pursed her lips as she said.

She wanted to cultivate the 'Sacred Fire Infinite Book', and it was not something others should see.

Yi Yun touched his nose. Although it sounded like a boundary was drawn, this also meant that Luo Huo'er had accepted him as a neighbor. At least, whatever that happened was now in the past and Yi Yun did not need to worry about a crazy girl rushing at him with a sword while staying in the central divine tower.

"Alright. I will probably not use the training ground that often."

True Martial World - Chapter 268: Test

The cultivators’ spirits rose when they heard that there would be a test after the lesson ended.

If they could gain the appreciation of Yuehua, they might get the chance to learn Yuehua's "Thousand Hand Moon Buddha" on top of earning the high-value scholarship.

A mystic technique of that level was the dream of the cultivators present.

Yuehua said, "These ten basic extraction methods are the basics for all sorts of mystic techniques and their variants. Although they are known as the basics, they are not simple at all. Not to mention beginners who just began learning the Desolate Heaven technique, even grandmasters, who have been well-versed in the Desolate Heaven technique for a very long time, might occasionally make a few mistakes. Now, I will explain all the ten extraction methods once. You can compare it with what you have previously learned…"

"The first extraction method…" Yuehua began to lecture. From time to time, she would demonstrate for the cultivators present.

As a Sage-level Desolate Heaven Master, Yuehua's level of the Desolate Heaven technique was impeccable. All the cultivators present gained a lot from listening to her lecture. Many of the things that they were previously confused about slowly became clearer to them.

During Yuehua's lecture, Luo Huo'er would listen with ease, while stealthily taking glances at Yi Yun.

She wanted to see what the scene of a simpleton listening to a book from heaven would be like.

Luo Huo'er originally thought that it would be impossible for Yi Yun to understand Yuehua's lecture. She thought he would either be frowning, with a constipated look, or he would be day dreaming.

Either one of those would have made Luo Huo'er delighted. However, when she looked at him, he was listening with a fascinated look on his face.

He held a pen in his hand and would scribble on a piece of paper from time to time.

A warrior's memory was excellent and they often had an eidetic memory, but that would usually only happen if they had a basic understanding of what they learned.

If they did not understand anything, then it would be difficult for them to remember. This was when pen and paper would reflect their functions.

Seeing Yi Yun ruminating over it, with the occasional scribble or the occasional frown, Luo Huo'er was stunned.

Could this rascal stop taking this so seriously? I'm sure he can neither understand it nor be able to learn the Desolate Heaven technique.

This view was not because Luo Huo'er looked down on Yi Yun, it was because he had started too late. Besides, he was learning under a grandmaster like Yuehua, which would be almost impossible to catch up with.

If he could not learn it, why was he so adamant about it? Was he stupid? Why bother being so stubborn?

During Yuehua's lecture, there were some parts that became extremely profound. Even some of the Desolate Heaven Master apprentices slowly failed to follow her teachings. Once they were unable to catch up, they would easily be left behind.

The cultivators present were all in their teens. Although they were hardworking, they would have some child-like mentalities. They might find it difficult to focus, especially when many of the things were incomprehensible.

It was taxing on the brain to try and understand the things Yuehua was teaching. A couple of minutes would be fine, but to continue on for more than an hour made many of them unable to handle it.

Luo Huo'er realized that some people had already lost focus, and when they regained their focus, they would find many things incomprehensible no matter how hard they paid attention.

But Yi Yun, who was a person who did not know anything about the Desolate Heaven technique, was focused from beginning to end. He was quickly scribbling on his paper without any slack.

"This toad…" Luo Huo'er could not understand the situation.

Even if he knew the hopes were low, he was still diligent…

Such a person could easily move a person's heart.

Initially, Luo Huo'er's attitude towards to Yi Yun was one of ridicule and gloating, hoping to see Yi Yun suffer a setback.

But over time, Yi Yun's seriousness changed Luo Huo'er's impression of him. No matter when it was, it was not right to ridicule a hardworking person.

It might be easy to laugh at the stupidity of a person determined to surmount an impossible task, but if one were to do so, it meant that one was going further away from success.

Yuehua lecture went on for two hours before she finished.

Many of the cultivators received a headache from listening. Only the best, like Luo Huo'er or Yang Yuefeng, could follow Yuehua's thoughts, receiving enormous benefits.

"Alright, digest what I have just taught. In ten minutes, we will have the test." When Yuehua said this, many of them began to tense up.

Many of the youths, who were originally very confident about the test, had now lost their confidence.

The things Yuehua taught were too profound. They were afraid that they would not be able to obtain a good result.

Seeing so many people with sour looks, Yang Yuefeng was extremely excited. He loved tests. He wanted to earn a scholarship through the test, and at the same time, shine. He wanted to let everyone see his talent in the Desolate Heaven technique!

Although he was inferior to Luo Huo'er, if he could become the person closest to Luo Huo'er through his hard work, he might be able to gain the attention of Luo Huo'er.

The more Yang Yuefeng thought the greater expectations he had. As for Yi Yun, he had long forgotten about him.

Yang Yuefeng repeatedly looked at Luo Huo'er, brimming with confidence.

He wanted to vie for second place!

"Alright, I'll hand out the test now!" Yuehua tapped the lecture stand lightly and, with a tiny voice, quietened down the entire classroom.

Many of them now held their breaths as they grew nervous.

Yuehua took out rolls of scrolls from her interspatial ring. There were more than a hundred rolls. With a flick of her finger, the scrolls flew to the front of every cultivator. These scrolls were made of desolate beast hide and were completely blank.

Following that, Yuehua did a hand seal. With a dense amount of shadows appearing around her fingers, more than a hundred seals were sent out by her. They turned into golden runes and flew!

The underground hall was not very bright, but with the hundreds of runes appearing, the room brightened up immediately!

"Oh? Is this the Thousand Hand Moon Buddha?"

Seeing Yuehua's hand movements, many cultivators' eyes lit up.

It was impressive to create more than a hundred seals in an instant!

People exclaimed.

Hearing them making a fuss, Yang Yuefeng disdainfully said, "How could this be the Thousand Hand Moon Buddha? It's just some hand seals Teacher Yuehua casually made. The Thousand Hand Moon Buddha is even more incredible than this!"

Yang Yuefeng said this with a reverence for Yuehua. Throughout the lesson, Yang Yuefeng's ambition grew. He too wanted to learn the Thousand Hand Moon Buddha!

"More incredible than this…"

People gulped a mouthful of saliva and stayed silent. Grandmaster Yuehua's Desolate Heaven technique had long since exceeded their imaginations.

The hundred seals that Yuehua formed flew in front of every cultivator, landing on the blank scroll, merging into them.

Yi Yun had also received such a scroll, and the runes on the scroll looked as if they were written with a golden pen.

"Now, you can choose any grade of desolate bone, extract the energy within the bone and condense it into the rune. I will give all of you fifteen minutes before I collect the test papers."

The contents of the test mentioned by Yuehua was clear and simple.

Although it sounded simple, it was not easy to do so. The runes may look small, but they came from Yuehua. Not only did the rune paths have a large capacity, they were also complex. Trying to conform to the rune paths and then use the Power of Desolates to slowly fill it was easier said than done!

Many of them frowned. They felt like they had an impossible task facing them.

The first lesson's test content was very difficult!

A few people could not help but glance at Yi Yun. In their hearts, they were thinking that thanks to this rascal, who would end up at the bottom, no matter how bad they did they would still be able to extract at least some energy. But Yi Yun would most likely stand there sillily like a wooden pole.

"Teacher Yuehua is such a nice person. She even handed to Yi Yun a test scroll even though he does not know anything…"

Many of them felt that there was no point in giving Yi Yun a test scroll. They felt that it was only because Yuehua was considerate of Yi Yun's pride that she did not make any distinction.

At that moment, the best of them, like Luo Huo'er and Yang Yuefeng had already chosen their desolate bones. They had also begun extracting energy from them, transplanting it into the golden runes.

This test's level was not a problem for them, especially for Luo Huo'er. She made a few tiny movements with her finger as if she was playing the piano. All her movements were harmonious like flowing water.

People could clearly see the shimmering light beneath Luo Huo'er's hands.

This was the light coming from the condensing of the Power of Desolates. The methods and phenomena coming from the extraction of energy varied from person to person as everyone had a different affinity with energy. It did not really matter if the Power of Desolates emitted light as it could happen with either outcome. But overall, it was better to emit light during condensation.

At that moment, Yi Yun had yet to make his move. He could not resist opening his Purple Crystal's energy vision.

In his energy vision, the Power of Desolates' light was even stronger. Yi Yun could clearly see the light dots following every movement of Luo Huo'er's as they flew into the golden rune.

Previously when Yuehua was lecturing, Yi Yun listened attentively. The first volume of Su Jie's notebook Lin Xintong left him was also on energy extraction.

Back then, Yi Yun did not understand a lot of things, but after listening to Yuehua's lecture, and seeing Yuehua's demonstration of the methods, he compared it with the descriptions within Su Jie's notebook. As such, Yi Yun began to understand many things he previously did not.

With Yuehua's demonstration, Yi Yun could use his energy vision to see every seal she made clearly. He could see how the energy changed and moved, allowing him to keenly grasp it.

The other Desolate Heaven Master apprentices, even Luo Huo'er, would not be able to see it so clearly.

With theory conjoining with practice, Yi Yun had a general idea about the extraction of the Power of Desolates. With the Purple Crystal's help, extracting the energy from desolate bones was no longer difficult for Yi Yun.

By recalling the ten theories of Power of Desolates extraction, Yi Yun made his move. He chose a high-grade general-ranked desolate beast's bone. This grade of desolate bone was not easy for a Desolate Heaven Master apprentice!

Actually, if Yi Yun wanted to, he could even extract the energy from a primordial strain's bone. But this would have been too shocking.

With some light finger movements, the energy within the desolate bones was now rapidly being pulled out by Yi Yun.

In the Purple Crystal's energy vision, Yi Yun could see the light dots flying around like fairies all over the classroom.

But no one could see the light dots condensed by the Purple Crystal.

No matter how grand the scene was, the people around him were blind to this.

True Martial World - Chapter 267: Power of Desolates Extraction

"What are you doing?"

Yuehua walked to the front of Yi Yun. She was tall, standing at a height of 1.75m. Coupled with her powerful aura, it made people feel a sense of being suppressed.

"I'm sorry Teacher Yuehua. I do not know how to refine a bone relic." Yi Yun shrugged.

"You don't know?" Yuehua was surprised. She never expected that there would be a student like this. "If you do not know how to refine a bone relic, you should at least know how to create seals. You can first refine the desolate bones. It is alright if you are unable to form a relic.."

Yuehua looked at Yi Yun's age. He was approximately thirteen years old. Real geniuses, who began learning the Desolate Heaven technique, would be able to refine bone relics at this age. If he could not refine one, then it could be said that he was not suitable to learn the Desolate Heaven technique.

Yi Yun still shook his head, "I do not know how to form the seals either."

"Oh?" Yuehua raised her eyebrows. What are you doing in my class if you do not know anything?

She did not ask this question out loud, but it was clear what she was thinking from her facial expression.

Yi Yun explained, "I am a beginner. I previously read some literature on the Desolate Heaven technique and I am very interested in learning it, so I came to Teacher Yuehua's class to learn."

Beginner?

When Yuehua heard Yi Yun's words, she was slightly stunned. He spent 9000 dragon scale runes to attend her class out of interest?

This young man was quite interesting!

Yuehua did not think that Yi Yun was crazy. In fact, she appreciated Yi Yun for his courage in doing whatever he wanted to do.

Besides, this youth took out 9000 dragon scale runes without even blinking his eyes just for his own personal interest. It meant that he had other things he excelled in.

But despite appreciating him, Yuehua did not think that Yi Yun would be able to learn the Desolate Heaven technique from her. Her class was meant for students with a foundation. The lessons she held would be fast-paced. How could Yi Yun, who was a beginner, keep up with them?

Yuehua said, "Having courage is good, but you must still be able to recognize your own abilities. My classes will not be taught at a slower speed just because of you. There might be many things that you will be unable to completely understand. For this class, you can just listen by the side. If you think my class is pointless after the class is over, I can get someone to return your tuition fee."

Yuehua felt that Yi Yun was like an ignorant newborn calf, unafraid of tigers. He did not know himself, but even so she appreciated such a hot-blooded youth. Due to this, she took care of Yi Yun.

When Yi Yun heard this, he got a favorable impression of this beautiful Desolate Heaven Master. He said, "Thank you Teacher Yuehua, I will still try."

"Alright, up to you."

Yuehua did not bother with Yi Yun anymore and walked towards Luo Huo'er.

Luo Huo'er was the person she was most concerned about.

Yuehua stood beside Luo Huo'er for a long time, watching every seal Luo Huo'er made carefully. There was an undisguised appreciation of Luo Huo'er in her eyes.

She had come to the Tai Ah Divine City especially for Luo Huo'er. This girl was a Desolate Heaven technique genius that only appeared in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom once every several tens of thousands of years.

...

Two hours quickly passed.

Only about half of the Desolate Heaven Master apprentices managed to complete their desolate bone relic refinement. The others either failed in their refinement or failed to complete it in the designated time.

Most of the desolate bone relics completed were made for Purple Blood realm warriors.

Only a few of them were for Yuan Foundation realm warriors.

For example, Yang Yuefeng's Seven Treasure Totem relic was meant for early-stage Yuan Foundation realm warriors, to aid them in condensing an Aspect Totem.

But compared to Luo Huo'er’s relic, it was nothing.

Luo Huo'er placed her disk array down at the last moment. A purple desolate bone relic rolled around playfully in the disk array.

Seeing the purple desolate bone relic, the surrounding Desolate Heaven Master apprentices did not know what to say.

Luo Huo'er had refined a Purple Heart Forgetting Dust relic. It could be used by peak Yuan Foundation realm warriors to break through to a higher level.

Compared to the other relics, it was on a completely different level.

If a Desolate Heaven Master had Luo Huo'er's current standard, that person could become an esteemed guest in a large family clan.

All the relics were examined by Yuehua.

Even the failed desolate bone relics were examined by Yuehua. She would even occasionally give some pointers, telling them the reason for their failure. This made many of those who were given pointers feel overwhelmingly flattered.

These were pointers given by a sage-level Desolate Heaven Master! Every word said by Yuehua was remembered and repeated in the minds of everyone.

Only Yi Yun did not receive any of Yuehua's pointers because he did not even have a failed product.

In the past two hours, Yi Yun did not do anything from beginning to the end. Many of the apprentices were embarrassed when they saw Yi Yun standing there like a wooden pole.

They all felt that if they were the ones in Yi Yun's shoes, they would feel like they were sitting on a bed of nails.

"Tsk, this kid's psyche sure is good. Doesn't he feel awkward standing there sillily?"

"That's right, even I feel bad for the kid. He truly doesn’t belong to the same group as us. What's the point in staying here stubbornly? He probably cannot even understand Grandmaster Yuehua's pointers. It's really hard on him."

Yi Yun really did not fit in amongst a group of Desolate Heaven Master apprentices.

It was like a group of geniuses, who had gathered together to discuss poetry and arts, suddenly had an old farmer intrude amongst them, but the old farmer was unable to say anything regarding the poems. All he could discuss with others was how much grain he could collect in his farm, or the number of chicken eggs his hens had laid.

What was the point of making himself uncomfortable?

All the youths present were between 14 to 17 years of age. They had great self-esteem and were at the point in life where they wished to strongly express themselves. If they were in Yi Yun's shoes, they would not even be able to endure a second, they would have left a long time ago.

"This idiot..."

Yang Yuefeng gave a dismissive glance at Yi Yun. He could no longer be bothered with Yi Yun. At this point, Yi Yun was still hanging in here stubbornly, spending 9000 dragon scale runes to be in this awkward scenario. Wasn't this signs of madness? It was impossible to win against a madman because one had to have the same thoughts as a madman.

Just as Yang Yuefeng began to think highly of himself, Grandmaster Yuehua came to Yang Yuefeng.

Yang Yuefeng bowed and passed his product with anticipation.

Yuehua gave it a few looks before giving him a few pointers. Although there were no obvious compliments, those affirming words made Yang Yuefeng feel honored.

He secretly looked at Luo Huo'er, hoping that Luo Huo'er would notice him, but… he was disappointed.

Yang Yuefeng still did not lose heart. He knew the extreme difficulty of pursuing Luo Huo'er. He did not hold out much hope for it. All he hoped was that even if he could not win her heart, he would at least be able to form a cordial relationship with Luo Huo'er. This would be extremely beneficial for his future. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"I have a rough understanding of everyone's Desolate Heaven technique standard. Now, I will begin teaching and I will start with the most basic thing, extraction of energy."

Yuehua returned to the stage after inspecting everyone's product.

The first step to refining a desolate bone relic was to extract the energy from a desolate bone.

This first step was extremely important. If the extraction of energy was not done well, then it would be a waste no matter how good the desolate bone materials were. The subsequent steps of energy control, purification, activation and so forth would then become impossible to discuss.

Yuehua continued, "There are about ten common, basic methods to energy extraction. They all have their own advantages. Besides that, different schools of Desolate Heaven techniques would have their own mystic techniques. These mystic techniques are to increase the Power of Desolates extraction efficiency."

"In addition, there are many personal extraction methods. If you reach an even higher level, you will even be able to combine several basic methods to create your own extraction mystic technique. Of course, that is very difficult… Many famous grandmasters find it difficult to do so..."

"It may be difficult, but in the history of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, there have been many Desolate Heaven Masters about your age who managed to create their own extraction mystic technique. This kind of extraction mystic technique are only suitable for oneself. You can say that it can only be understood and not be taught..."

When Grandmaster Yuehua finished saying this, her gaze landed on Luo Huo'er.

It was clear what she meant. She wished that Luo Huo'er would create a miracle by developing her own extraction mystic technique.

Only Luo Huo'er amongst those present had the ability to do so.

Luo Huo'er knew Yuehua's thoughts and clenched her tiny fists. There were three major steps in the Desolate Heaven technique.

The first step, Power of Desolates extraction.

The second step, controlling the Power of Desolates seal.

The third step, forming the relic itself.

The most basic part laid in the first step. She was determined to figure out a extraction mystic technique of her own. This was an extremely important part of her Desolate Heaven Master career.

Seeing Luo Huo'er's determined and ambitious gaze, Grandmaster Yuehua nodded in a satisfactory manner. She then said, "In today's class, I will only be talking about energy extraction. At the end of the lesson, there will be a little test."

"In the future, I will have a test at the end of every class. Your test scores will be recorded down by me for your final grade. Those who have outstanding grades will be rewarded by me!"

Test?

When they heard Yuehua speaking about tests, some became nervous while others became excited. As for Luo Huo'er and Yang Yuefeng, they were undoubtedly the type of people who were excited.

Test? My favorite!
