Li Tianxue, dressed in red, exuded a fiery aura from her very being.

On her body, Xu Nian could feel an incredibly intense Great Tao True Intent.

"Such strong Fire Attribute Dao True Intent," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Is this the Great Tao Realm beneath the Third Level True Intent?

Xu Nian questioned himself, knowing that without using Boundaryless Realm, he would not be a match for this Li Tianxue.

The other party could even easily defeat him.

"This Li Tianxue truly deserves to be a Heavenly Pride Girl of Futu Mountain. With her strength, she could probably battle many Top-grade Divine Level Experts."

"Indeed, with her Third Level Realm, combined with the Fire Separation Great Dao True Intent and mastery of the Leaving Fire Heavenly Scripture, how terrifying her power is! Just the thought of it is scary. It’s said that once she split a Divine Mountain in two with a single sword. A Divine Mountain! Even a typical Nether Emperor cannot shake those Divine Stones."

"Truly extraordinary, this Li Tianxue, among the younger generation, is indeed top-notch."

...

The surroundings were abuzz with discussions, mostly praising Li Tianxue.

However, Li Tianxue seemed indifferent to such compliments, raised her proud, snowy white neck, and walked towards the stele.

"Buzz!"

A red Divine Sword appeared in her hand.

This Divine Sword was fiery red, and the heat it emitted was something that a normal Nether Emperor Perfection Level Expert could not withstand.

However, Li Tianxue held it without feeling anything.

The moment her slender fingers gripped the Divine Sword, the sword’s fiery power surged nearly tenfold.

All around, everyone felt an incomparably hot aura.

This aura formed a terrifying heatwave, sweeping across the entire plaza.

At this moment, Li Tianxue seemed to be bathed in Divine Fire.

"The Fire Separation Great Dao True Intent is indeed extraordinary, possessing an extremely terrifying temperature," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Xu Nian also gained a deeper understanding of Li Tianxue’s strength.

"Buzz!"

Li Tianxue floated upwards, her dress rustling.

"Fire of Separation, Bright Sun!"

Li Tianxue shouted loudly, slashing out with a sword.

The fiery sword light instantly became dazzling, making it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.

The surrounding people collectively gasped.

The power of this sword made them tremble from the depths of their hearts.

It was like a light of death coming from the depths of hell, making them shudder.

"Boom!"

The Divine Pattern on the stele lit up.

Instantly consuming the fiery sword light.

"Buzz!"

A number emerged on the stele.

When they saw the number, everyone gasped.

"Seventy-eight thousand? Holy crap! Am I seeing this correctly?" someone exclaimed.

Xu Nian also showed an extremely surprised expression.

Li Tianxue unexpectedly struck with a value of seventy-eight thousand.

A score like this was absolutely terrifying.

Even Tang Wu and the others probably couldn’t reach such a value.

Even the Shadowless Sword God showed an appreciative expression.

"This Li Tianxue is indeed formidable, and she’s also beautiful, but she’s just too arrogant. It’s said half of those who pursued her were driven to despair," Huo Qiu remarked.

Xu Nian nodded.

Li Tianxue certainly had the right to be proud, being very beautiful and highly skilled, making her an undeniable Heavenly Pride Girl.

In terms of strength, she was likely stronger than Mu Yuqing.

Of course, in terms of appearance, she fell slightly short of Mu Yuqing.

Mu Yuqing’s beauty could be said to be of the highest caliber.

Though speaking of talent and potential, Mu Yuqing might not necessarily be inferior to her.

Li Tianxue glanced at the score on the stele, her cold and proud face showing little expression.

She sheathed her sword and turned around.

Her gaze was contemptuous of the world.

For the admiring gazes around her, she was entirely unmoved.

"Li Tianxue probably didn’t use all her strength. If she went all out, she could probably reach eighty or even ninety thousand," Xu Nian thought to himself.

After all, no one would reveal their true strength in this first round.

"Next up is Tan Long. His score will definitely exceed one hundred thousand." Huo Qiu said. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Xu Nian also looked at the young man named Tan Long.

Throughout, this person stood with his hands behind his back, his face showing no excess expression.

But Xu Nian could feel that his strength was very strong.

Terrifyingly strong.

"Is Tan Long going to make his move? I wonder if he can break one hundred thousand? It’s said that since the assessment of the Netherworld God Temple began, only two people reached a score of one hundred thousand," someone expectantly said among the crowd.

"I think Tan Long can do it. He is, after all, a Top-grade Divine Level Expert, a Fourth-level Realm expert. With strength like that, he can definitely reach a score of one hundred thousand." Someone immediately chimed in.

Amidst the crowd’s discussion.

Tan Long walked out with steady steps.

In his eyes burst a thunderous wave, and the next moment, he threw a punch out of thin air.

A bolt of lightning crashed onto the stele.

So fast that most of the people present didn’t see it clearly.

Although Xu Nian saw it, he was still shocked by Tan Long’s punch.

The power of Tan Long’s casual punch vastly exceeded the Sword Radiance unleashed by Li Tianxue by several dozen times.

If that punch landed on a person, even a Top-Grade Divine Level expert might meet a tragic end.

Too powerful!

Xu Nian knew that even if he used Boundaryless Divine Power, he wouldn’t be this person’s match.

"Boom!"

The stele shook.

Finally, a number appeared on the stele.

Everyone present couldn’t help but gasp.

One hundred thousand eight hundred?

A casual punch reached an attack value of one hundred thousand eight hundred.

Isn’t that too strong?

Even the Divine-level experts nearby displayed expressions of awe.

For such a genius, they didn’t even have the slightest thought of jealousy.

However, Tan Long still showed little expression, his gaze remaining unfazed.

To him, it seemed all these things were very mundane and ordinary.

"Breaking one hundred thousand? Not bad, I didn’t expect Qing State to produce such a genius. Looks like this time the Netherworld God Temple assessment will be highly exciting," the Shadowless Sword God said with a smile.

Looking at Tan Long with great admiration.

The crowd burst into a flurry of exclamations.

At this moment, Tan Long was the most dazzling existence in their eyes.

"Should it be over by now?"

"Not yet, it seems there’s still one more person to be assessed, yes, it’s that last Nether Emperor."

"A Nether Emperor? That just seems like a filler, maybe they’ve already decided to give up."

"Yeah, the Nether Emperor really doesn’t stand any chance."

...

Outside, a discussion ensued.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was left speechless.

But he had long anticipated this result.

After all, for a Nether Emperor, passing this Basic assessment is really too difficult.

"Brother Xu, don’t worry about them. Just go through the motions, showcase your strongest skills," Huo Qiu encouraged Xu Nian.

Xu Nian smiled and nodded.

Then he walked toward the stele.
