Chapter 121: Lightning and Flint

In the Forest of Martial Dao Steles, almost all the three hundred warriors found the Mysterious Boundary Stele that was suitable for their own comprehension.

However, there are very few who can really begin to comprehend.

In just a few minutes, nearly a hundred of the three hundred people had fainted and fell to the ground because they couldn't bear it.

Most of the remaining two hundred people are also struggling.

Outside the Forest of Steles, the ten inner sect deacons nodded secretly.

"This year's disciples are very good, at least in terms of tenacity, they exceeded our expectations."

"That's right. If you don't have enough comprehension power, you will only ask for trouble if you forcefully comprehend the Xuanjie tablet. But if your mind is firm enough, you can still gain something."

The ten inner sect deacons, as the 'examiners' of this third assessment, are doing a fair evaluation.

"Look, someone is starting to understand."

The eyes of the ten people lit up, and they all looked at the people who were beginning to understand.

The Xuanjie Monument, which is dozens of meters high, exudes a quaint and unparalleled aura.

Under the monument, there was a young man sitting cross-legged, it was Xiao Yi.

"Yes, looking at this child's age, he is only 16 or 7, but he has an innate ninth-level cultivation base, and his talent in martial arts is enough to be included in the ranks of super geniuses."

"I don't know if this young man is talented in refining medicine. Otherwise, he can join my medicine hall." The deacon who spoke came from the medicine hall.

"You don't need to think too much." The deacon of the Sword Hall smiled, "Didn't you see it, what he comprehended was the Xuanjie Monument of the Sword Dao, and he definitely wanted to join my Sword Hall."

The other deacon of the eight halls also smiled with satisfaction, "Being able to withstand the influence of the ban on the Xuanjie tablet so quickly proves that this child's comprehension is amazing. No matter what kind of martial arts he cultivates, his achievements are definitely not low."

"No matter which church he joins, he will definitely be a genius in Beishan County in the future. It's a pity that what he learned was the Mysterious Boundary Monument of Kendo. It seems that he wants to join the Sword Hall."

"Hmph, just be greedy." The deacon of the Sword Hall smiled, "This son is destined to join the Sword Hall."

....

On the other side, Xiao Yi under the Xuanjie Monument did not know that the deacons were commenting on him.

He was just doing his best to digest the contents of the tablet quickly.

A Mysterious Boundary Monument is the life-long cultivation knowledge of a Profound Realm-breaking martial artist.

Strange words and mysterious pictures were constantly flashing in his mind.

The so-called comprehension of the Xuanjie monument is that the Xuanjie monument transmits this knowledge into the minds of the comprehension through the method of 'daigo empowerment'.

And this knowledge is far beyond the scope that can be understood and endured by innate warriors.

This is why other warriors are dizzy and even faint.

Those with high comprehension will be able to accept these contents, and if they understand, new words and pictures will appear in their minds.

Those with low comprehension can't accept it, but forcibly watch it, the pictures that appear in their minds will freeze, and if they can't bear it, they will be close to collapse, have a splitting headache, and feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Uh." Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, an uncomfortable expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Those words and pictures are the cultivation knowledge of this kendo elder throughout his life.

He can comprehend, but he also needs to comprehend the process. And in the process, before he fully comprehends it, he will still endure that kind of pain.

The torture will disappear only when one is fully comprehended and enlightened.

However, after comprehending this picture, a new picture and new text will appear.

These new images will make him fall into pain and torture again.

Xiao Yi's expression was constantly changing in pain and relief.

He couldn't count how many images flashed through his mind and how many words he had comprehended.

He only knew that he understood about a third of the contents on the huge Xuanjie tablet in front of him.

The third round of assessments tests comprehension, endurance, mental firmness, etc.

And these are all talents, and they are also the performances that a real martial arts genius should have.

This is the meaning of the existence of the third test.

After more than half an hour, in the Forest of Martial Arts Steles, everything was a foregone conclusion.

Those who can comprehend have already begun to comprehend under the Xuanjie Monument.

People who can't comprehend, even if they hold on, they won't last long.

Half an hour of torture was enough to make them completely unbearable and fainted.

The inner door deacons waved their hands, manipulated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and pulled out the fainted person in the forest of monuments out of thin air.

There are still twenty people left in the Forest of Steles.

"If there is no accident, this year, these twenty people will be able to enter the ten inner gate halls." The deacons said.

There are more than 10,000 warriors who participate in the assessment every year, but only 300 people can come to the third round of the assessment, and only about ten people actually pass.

It is no wonder that there are so few inner disciples, but the treatment is extremely high.

There are twenty people this year, which is far more than before.

"Look, the young man over there is not bad either. What he comprehended is the Xuanjie tablet of the Dao of the Blade. If I remember correctly, he is the second one who can stabilize his mind and enter the state of enlightenment."

A deacon looked at Lin Jin in the Forest of Steles.

The deacon of the Sword Hall nodded with satisfaction, "Well, this child is born with eighth-level cultivation, and his comprehension is also very high. It is the most suitable for entering my Sword Hall."

"One more person has entered the state of enlightenment."

A deacon looked at the iron bull on the other side.

The deacon of the beast hall also smiled all over the floor, "The eighth-level innate cultivation base, high comprehension, the most valuable, this guy has a simple and honest appearance, his expression is peaceful, and he seems to have a child's heart, just enter my beast hall."

"That girl is not bad either." Suddenly, the deacon of Wanmutang looked at Liu Yanran and said with a smile, "What she comprehends is the Mysterious Boundary Monument of the plant family, enter my Wanmutang."

The deacon of Wan Mutang is a middle-aged woman, with an extraordinary style and few words, but it reveals a pleasant atmosphere that makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Huh." Suddenly, the deacon of the beast hall looked at Qin Feiyang in the forest of steles, "The Xuanjie tablet that this son comprehends is the cultivation knowledge left by one of the elders of my beast hall."

"It seems that this child is also going to join my beast hall. This year, I was able to receive two super geniuses into the beast hall, tsk tsk, really lucky."

“…”

The ten inner sect deacons have already determined which hall they enter through the type of Xuanjie stele that the remaining 20 people in the forest of steles have comprehended.

Inner Sect Ten Halls are the places where inner sect disciples practice and live.

Time flies, and an hour later, the situation in the Forest of Steles changed again.

"Pfft." Gu Changfeng suddenly woke up from his enlightenment and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft." Foil, Wang Hu and others also spit out blood.

....

More than a dozen people woke up from the state of enlightenment, vomiting blood, and their faces were pale.

But the ten deacons did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, instead they were full of smiles.

"With more than an hour of comprehension, these dozen disciples are quite good. Although they haven't fully understood the entire stone tablet, they are at least more than a quarter."

"Most of the disciples who participated in this assessment in previous years could only comprehend about half an hour, and comprehend about one-tenth of the contents of the Xuanjie Monument."

"These dozens of disciples are already very talented."

The ten deacons praised and waved their hands, pulling the dozen or so people out.

In the forest of monuments, there was no one left, it was Xiao Yi, Lin Jin, Tie Niu, Liu Yanran and Qin Feiyang.

After another two hours, Lin Jin and the other four woke up one after another from their enlightenment.

"Pfft." Lin Jin spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, and said regretfully, "It's a pity, the more content you comprehend in the entire Xuanjie tablet, the more difficult it becomes the further you go."

"It took more than three hours to comprehend, but only half of it was comprehended."

Qin Feiyang, Tie Niu and Liu Yanran also had regretful expressions on their faces.

As everyone knows, the ten inner sect deacons outside the forest of monuments have long been full of horror.

"These four people have been comprehended for more than three hours under the prohibition of the Xuanjie Monument, and they have endured such inhuman torture for so long. It's really amazing."

"They are only in the innate realm now, but they have already understood most of the contents of the Xuanjie tablet. In the future, the road of martial arts will definitely be smooth sailing, a thousand miles a day."

The deacons sighed in admiration, and with a big wave, they pulled the four out of the forest of steles.

The next second, the ten deacons, especially the deacon of the Sword Hall, stared at the only figure left in the forest of monuments.

"The boy is still comprehending."

"He was the first to enter the state of enlightenment, but he was also the one who persisted the longest."

"I don't know how far he can go."

The deacons were full of anticipation.

In the forest of monuments, Xiao Yi was still comprehending.

In fact, he and Lin Jin and others took about the same time to comprehend, but the speed of comprehension far surpassed them.

Now, he has almost finished comprehending the contents of the entire Xuanjie tablet.

Only the last bit left.

And this little bit of content records a martial skill called 'Electric Light Flint', the peak of the mysterious order.

On the Xuanjie Monument, there are no ground-level martial arts, and the highest level is only Xuan-level martial arts.

It is not that these elders of the Profound Realm have no ground-level martial skills, but they are not recorded on the Profound Realm Monument.

Earth-level martial arts, even low-level ones, are a hundred times more precious than peak Xuan-level martial arts, and naturally they will not be given casually. The real classics are placed in the inner door treasure house and cannot be easily obtained.

Of course, in addition to the ground-level martial arts, this kendo elder's life-long cultivation knowledge, including the secrets of cultivation in the Profound Realm and the Profound Realm, were recorded on the Profound Realm Monument.

Xiao Yi believes that these are the real wealth, and they are also the most important things for his martial arts practice in the future, and they are extremely precious.

Xiao Yi understood faster, but also endured more torture.

The images and words that kept flashing made him suffer far more times than Lin Jin and others.

This kind of torture that erodes the mind is the most painful.

Moreover, if the pain continues all the time, that's fine; the process of comprehension is painful, and it is relieved after comprehension; this kind of momentary hell, momentary heaven feeling is the most irritating.

His face was frighteningly pale; his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of a bean; the sweat even wet his entire shirt.

Rather than saying that his talent is stronger than Lin Jin and others, it is better to say that his heart is firmer and more tenacious than anyone else.

Of course, he struggled to bear it, for those precious knowledge of martial arts, as well as the martial skill 'Electric Light and Flint', but he was happy.

Although Electric Light Flint is a peak profound martial skill, its power can crush any other peak profound martial skill.

Known as the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect's strongest Xuan-rank peak martial skill, it is even comparable to the Earth-rank low-level martial arts.

If nothing else, this will be the strongest martial skill Xiao Yi has ever possessed.
