"Black Teeth, sixty-eight points, pass!"
After Huangfu Jian, another decent score finally appeared, and it was the same renowned Black Teeth.
Black Teeth’s body was like a giant iron tower, more than two meters tall. His muscles were bulky and intertwined, exuding strength. His skin was dark, and his eyes were fierce like a raging dragon.
Upon hearing that he only scored sixty-nine points, Black Teeth pouted and showed dissatisfaction on his face.
The Celestial Travel Sect elder continued the testing. Out of a hundred people, it was estimated that only one could truly pass the Comprehension test. Even those who passed the Comprehension test might not enter the Celestial Travel Sect if their performance in the next two assessments was inadequate; they would still be eliminated.
The Celestial Travel Sect recruits disciples as if choosing one in a thousand!
"Zhang Yuan, seventy-three points, good!"
"Li Weini, fifty-one points, fail!"
The testing speed was extremely fast, almost completing the test for one person every ten breaths. Hence, within just one hour, it was Chu Ming’s turn.
"Next, Zhao Tianlei!"
The Celestial Travel Sect elder called out calmly.
Zhao Tianlei stepped out from the line and placed his hands in the indentations of the mirror, closing his eyes slightly.
"Sixty-three points, pass!"
Looking at the number of green dots in the mirror, the Celestial Travel Sect elder announced with no emotion.
Zhao Tianlei sighed lightly. His talent was considered top-notch in the Black Dragon City, but in the entire Celestial Realm, it could only be rated as intermediate. Compared to the Zhu Family, his family also lagged significantly, making it difficult for him to enter the Celestial Travel Sect.
Next, Wang Hao and Zhang Xu underwent testing with similarly mediocre results, barely passing like Zhao Tianlei.
Chu Ming took a deep breath, stepped out from the line, and slowly placed his hands in the mirror’s indentations. He wasn’t sure how strong his comprehension was, but it shouldn’t be less than eighty points.
His eyes closed, feeling the cold touch.
Just as he placed his hands on the device, the green dots on the device seemed to be drawn up by some force, instantly filling the entire mirror surface, turning it completely green.
The white-robed elder’s expression changed dramatically, seemingly in disbelief. He tried to say something, but his throat seemed stuck, unable to speak.
The steward responsible for recording also couldn’t remain calm, running up to the white-robed elder.
"Elder, could the device be broken?"
The steward’s face showed astonishment. He had overseen assessments for over twenty years and had never seen such a situation.
"Nonsense, the device can’t be faulty!"
The white-robed elder reprimanded in a low voice, taking a deep breath, having weathered many storms. He calmed his emotions.
Since the device couldn’t be wrong, everything they saw was real.
Not only the two of them, but the entire hall was utterly silent, everyone’s eyes filled with shock, staring at the green dots on the mirror.
Though they didn’t know Chu Ming’s exact score, one glance told them his score was significantly higher than Huangfu Jian’s.
"How is this possible?!"
Huangfu Jian’s normally calm eyes changed completely. He considered his talent exceptional, but he didn’t expect someone to be even more talented. A hint of jealousy grew in his heart.
"Chu Ming, one hundred points, excellent!"
The white-robed elder calmed his emotions and announced loudly, then took out a Communication Jade Pendant from his bosom, quietly sending a message to the Sect Leader. This matter was too important; no disciple had ever achieved full comprehension since the establishment of the Celestial Travel Sect. Chu Ming was the first!
As soon as the white-robed elder’s words fell, the entire hall erupted. Full Comprehension—though they didn’t understand the true significance, being several times stronger than Huangfu Jian was clear to them.
"Oh my, now, those few prodigies in the Celestial Travel Sect should feel some pressure. A disciple with full comprehension will be coveted by any elder!"
"That’s not necessarily true—even with full comprehension, his foundation is still shallow. Those prodigious talents in the Inner Sect have deep foundations and complex relationships. Everyone knows the adage that ’the first bird gets shot’!"
"The Sword Demon of Ancient Sword Peak also had a comprehension score of ninety-seven, and now he’s the strongest under the Realm of Transcendence. Doesn’t this mean Chu Ming is bound to advance to the Realm of Transcendence?"
"Realm of Transcendence, wake up! Becoming a strong person in the Realm of Transcendence is not just about comprehension."
The crowd discussed intensely. The young boys and girls testing their comprehension looked at Chu Ming with varying degrees of envy, even those from Black Dragon City changed their gaze toward Chu Ming.
"This is better; the Celestial Travel Sect won’t be that boring!"
Black Teeth stood there like an iron tower, no one dared to approach the genius disciples surrounding him. His eyes, looking at Chu Ming, were filled not with fear but with a fighting spirit.
The white-robed elder smiled kindly at Chu Ming, his praise evident.
"Thank you, Elder, for your praise!"
Chu Ming replied respectfully and returned to the Black Dragon City’s team.
The testing continued, but everyone’s minds were now unsettled, unlike their previous calm.
"You’re truly a freak!"
Zhu Hongxue looked at Chu Ming, her eyes glinting.
"Can I take that as a compliment?"
Chu Ming touched his nose. Honestly, he hadn’t expected his comprehension to be so strong, reaching a hundred points. Reflecting on it now, just creating his own sword techniques had already outdistanced others by far.
"If possible, in the Celestial Travel Sect, you should maximize your talent!"
Suddenly, Zhu Qianqiu turned and advised Chu Ming.
A hint of emotion showed in his eyes. He was once a disciple of the Celestial Travel Sect and fully understood that only by demonstrating true value could one receive the full cultivation of the Celestial Travel Sect.
"The Celestial Travel Sect seeks to cultivate strong individuals. Therefore, everything they give disciples—including resources—is preferentially allocated to those truly valuable. One talented Martial Artist in the First Layer of Guiyuan Realm consumes significantly fewer resources but yields much greater influence compared to a thousand regular Martial Artists in the same realm!"
Zhu Qianqiu explained to Chu Ming.
Hearing this, Chu Ming nodded slightly. For geniuses, challenging a higher level wasn’t difficult. Geniuses required less investment but gave higher returns!
