CHAPTER 591: CHAPTER 591 ASSESSMENT

Night had fallen.

Ling Chen stood in the courtyard, stimulating the transformed Sunlight Holy Body.

Streams of cold Moonlight Power descended from the sky, gathering around Ling Chen.

Then, the Moonlight Power surged towards Ling Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

Having not cultivated Divine Soul Telekinesis for twenty days, now with the opportunity, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul, like a thirsty being, absorbed all the Moonlight Power.

With the tempering of the Moonlight Power, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul became increasingly powerful.

Having cultivated Spiritual Power all these days, it was time to put it aside for a moment.

Advancing two levels in succession could lead to unstable Spiritual Power.

Thus, Ling Chen temporarily ceased advancing his cultivation level.

Instead, he continuously utilized Spiritual Power to condense Green Lotus Sword Qi.

With the improvement in cultivation level, Ling Chen’s speed of refining Green Lotus Sword Qi also increased.

It had almost reached the speed of deploying an ordinary low-level King Spirit Technique.

During this process, Ling Chen discovered that Green Lotus Sword Qi had a miraculous effect on tempering the physical body.

With the Night Moon Saint Body transformed for daytime cultivation, Ling Chen could no longer absorb the power of stars to temper his body.

Thus, the cultivation of the Undying Star Body came to a halt.

However, after discovering the body-tempering effect of the Green Lotus Sword Qi, Ling Chen began to allow it to move throughout his body.

Now, Ling Chen had cultivated the Undying Star Body to the third level, roughly equivalent to the late stages of the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

The tempering from Green Lotus Sword Qi allowed Ling Chen’s physical body the potential to grow even stronger!

The Moonlight Power and Green Lotus Sword Qi began to gradually catch up with the two major weaknesses of Ling Chen’s Divine Soul and physical body.

Of course, Ling Chen’s combat strength was mainly based on Spiritual Power.

Time passed.

Ling Chen continued to diligently cultivate in his residence.

After all, he knew few people in the Burning Flame Sect.

The only person he had relations with was Ye Fentian.

Thus, it was a good opportunity to focus on cultivation without distractions.

Soon, a month had passed.

Ling Chen’s cultivation progress was quite pleasing.

His Divine Soul had finally reached the peak of the transformation stage, just one step away from the King Realm.

But, Ling Chen knew how difficult this step was to take!

His physical body also made some significant progress.

With the aid of Green Lotus Sword Qi, his physical body was nearly approaching a King in the Palace Mansion Realm.

Although he had not specifically cultivated Spiritual Power, because of the condensation of Green Lotus Sword Qi, his cultivation level had also reached the peak of the late third level of the Palace Mansion Realm.

Of course, in front of others, he still maintained the mid-third level of the Palace Mansion Realm.

That day.

"Boom!"

A resonant bell reverberated throughout the Burning Flame Sect.

"Boom!"

The entire Burning Flame Sect was boiling.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

As the sounds of breaking wind arose, various colored lights all shot towards Burning Flame Square.

Before long, hundreds of cultivators appeared on the square.

These cultivators were all dressed in blue.

They were indeed the Blue-clothed Disciples of the Burning Flame Sect.

Among those present, the lowest cultivation level was the second level of the Palace Mansion Realm.

Moreover, there were not many of them, just a few dozen people, all new Blue-clothed Disciples of this year.

The vast majority of the cultivators were at the third and fourth levels of the Palace Mansion Realm!

Today was the day of the Blue-clothed Disciple assessment.

Ling Chen stood up, changed into a blue robe, and also flew towards Burning Flame Square.

Seeing the excited disciples, Ling Chen was quite indifferent, casually finding a corner to quietly wait.

"Young Master Ling!"

An enthusiastic voice rang out.

Then, Ling Chen saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

It was Xia Houjin.

"Young Master Xiahou."

Ling Chen clasped his hands.

"Greetings, Young Master Ling!"

The three people following Xia Houjin also greeted Ling Chen.

These three, Ling Chen had some impression of, having seen them in Yunshui City.

"Mhm."

Ling Chen nodded slightly as a sign, then asked, "Only the four of you passed the assessment?"

"Yes."

Xia Houjin said.

"Did the others go back?"

Ling Chen said.

In Yunshui City, nine people participated in the assessment, and less than half passed.

It seems that the difficulty of the Burning Flame Sect’s assessment is quite significant.

"No, they went to participate in the assessment of the Undying Star Pavilion."

Xia Houjin said.

Although East Qing Province is controlled by the Burning Flame Sect.

In recent years, other sects have gained the qualification to challenge the status of the Burning Flame Sect.

The Undying Star Pavilion is one of the very powerful sects among them.

It is not much weaker than the Burning Flame Sect.

"That’s also good."

Ling Chen nodded.

Although he rarely leaves home, he still has some understanding of the powers in the East Qing Province.

In the introduction materials given to the disciples about the competition, the Burning Flame Sect would naturally emphasize the Undying Star Pavilion.

"Young Master Ling, I am really looking forward to your performance! I hope we don’t meet during the competition."

Xia Houjin said with a smile.

Ever since he witnessed Ling Chen’s true capabilities, he had no hostility towards Ling Chen.

Moreover, they both are from Yunshui City.

They could be considered as fellow townsfolk.

"Young Master Xiahou, your strength is also not bad, you should be able to enter the top hundred!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"Young Master Ling jests. Although my cultivation is decent, I have many disadvantages in terms of Spirit Arts. It might be tough!"

Xia Houjin said with a bitter smile.

This month, he tried to cultivate a mid-level King Spirit Technique, but unfortunately, he did not succeed.

In terms of strength, he is not even comparable to some old Blue-clothed Disciples of the third layer of the Palace Mansion Realm.

While they were talking, dozens of new disciples came over.

These people were all from cities other than Yunshui City.

Although Zhao Yu is nominally the number one among the newcomers, he, being from Yunshui City, holds a disdainful attitude towards these foreign cultivators.

However, among the top ten newcomers, four approached Ling Chen.

Thus, these people naturally wanted to establish a connection with Ling Chen.

In the distance.

Zhao Yu and dozens of others gathered together.

"Ling Chen!"

Zhao Yu’s cold gaze turned towards Ling Chen.

In the Burning Flame Valley, being defeated by Ling Chen was the shame of his life.

This time, he must redeem his previous disgrace.

A few days ago, he went back to his family and brought over a mid-level King Spiritual Weapon.

With the mid-level King Spiritual Weapon.

And his cultivation had also broken through to the mid-phase of the fifth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm.

He believed that he was strong enough to defeat Ling Chen.

What’s more important, stimulated by Ling Chen, he had actually succeeded in cultivating a mid-level Body Technique King Spirit Technique.

The square became increasingly crowded.

Even many Purple-clothed Disciples appeared.

They were here to maintain order and help the stewards with some trivial matters.

"Silence!"

At this moment, a streak of light came from the sky and stopped above the high platform in the center of the square. A figure emerged from that streak.

This person was dressed in a green robe, and was one of the Elders of the Burning Flame Sect!

His name was Xue Yan, and he was Xue Hua’s uncle.

Everyone immediately quieted down.

Looking towards Elder Xue.

"The ranking assessment for the Blue-clothed Disciples is about to begin! Please everyone prepare!"

Elder Xue spoke.

He waved his hand, and ten streaks of light shot from below.

They were ten stewards dressed in grey.

"Next, please let Deacon Zhao announce the rules."

Elder Xue stepped back, and Deacon Zhao stepped forward to announce the rules once more.
