You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 187 - 15, One cut_2

"Fifth Young Master Mu Yue, this person is simply an unknown Loose Cultivator."

Someone voluntarily offered an explanation to Lin Yue, "It is said that this person once made a move on the Life and Death Platform in Di Hong City, killing a very prestigious True Disciple of the Seven Saints Sect with a single sword strike. That disciple was a standout even among those at the Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, yet he was killed with one sword. It’s rumored that this person has already mastered his Martial Arts True Self, and his sword techniques are extremely fearsome."

Martial Arts True Self?

Lin Yue was also somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but glance at Baili Fengzhi beside him.

Wouldn’t that be the same as Baili Fengzhi?

However, Baili Fengzhi was not merely a pure Martial Cultivator, but she also had the terrifying talent brought by the Divine Beast Fire Phoenix, making her foundation far surpass those at the same level.

"Make your move," Grandmaster An also paid great attention to this nameless swordsman in black robes.

Facing the Treasure Mirror enveloped by layers of Barriers, the black-robed swordsman’s eyes under the mask were lifelessly dull, lacking any hint of brightness.

With one hand resting on the hilt, his palm was pale and thick.

Then—

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!"

Many of those present couldn’t see what had happened; they only saw the layers of glowing Barriers suddenly shatter, completely penetrated in an instant, with the ninety-nine layers of Barriers!

The black-robed swordsman then lowered his hand, without uttering a single word.

"Ninety-nine layers," Grandmaster An said softly.

The whole place fell silent, with most candidates present showing astonished expressions, shocked as they looked at the black-robed swordsman.

Most people had not even seen the process of drawing the sword, let alone the trajectory of the sword light!

And it was not only terrifyingly fast, but the power was also shockingly intense; ninety-nine layers of Barriers penetrated in an instant. If it had been one of them facing that sword strike...

Ninety-nine percent of those present had no confidence.

"What a fast sword."

Lin Yue was also somewhat surprised.

He himself practiced Thirteen Flames, a pure speed Ultimate Killing Skill, and the combination of Wind and Fire Realm and Sword Intent into Heart made him very adaptable to high speeds, with an exceptionally keen vision.

Therefore, he saw that one sword strike clearly.

It was an unremarkable dark blue iron sword, from drawing the sword to striking with it, and finally sheathing it again, everything was completed in one go.

The sword light was silent and somber, with a strange penetrative power. It was so quiet in its strike that it made no sound while breaking through the air.

If used for assassination, the enemies would probably not even have time to react before being pierced by the sword light.

"How about it?" Lin Yue looked at Baili Fengzhi.

"Your Highness, this person seems to have used only a part of his strength."

Baili Fengzhi transmitted his thoughts through Divine Thought, "His Martial Arts Realm is equal to mine, and I suspect he has also trained a powerful Killing Skill suitable for assassination. I can’t see anything else, but he is likely just a hybrid Martial Cultivator."

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I heard there are only three spots in the Inner Hall. It seems he’s one of them."

"Unless more monstrous talents appear later on, this person is indeed very likely to enter the Inner Hall," Baili Fengzhi transmitted.

Among the candidates that followed, none displayed the terrifying prowess of that black-robed swordsman.

Several candidates did manage to break through ninety-nine layers of Barriers, but it was clear that they had given their all, and compared to the black-robed swordsman, the disparity was substantial.

"Next."

Fifth Young Master, number three hundred fifty-eight of the Longping Kingdom, had passed the Tianxia Building’s entrance trial, hence he didn’t need to undergo the basic test.

After skipping over, it was Lin Yue’s turn.

"Please."

Grandmaster An’s expression had become much more cordial, as he restored the Barrier of the damaged Treasure Mirror.

Lin Yue walked forward step by step. At the same time, he stretched out his hand into the void and grabbed, taking out a dark gold-colored long saber. The blade was about four feet three inches long, and its edge had a faintly meandering sharpness.

The saber itself was also just a First Grade Magic Treasure, containing only sharpness and the ability to break magic. The only specialty was the material used to caste the saber was quite precious, making it very sturdy.

His original Mystic Iron Battle Saber could no longer withstand his power.

The assessment allowed the use of First Grade Magic Treasures, because all means available for the use in Martial Arts were permissible.

To activate a First Grade Magic Treasure, one must possess sufficient Mana, Primordial Power, and so on.

Being able to perform Body Refinement, practice Martial Arts, and cultivate simultaneously, dividing attention across three disciplines, was also part of one’s own ability. Being able to use Mana to activate a stronger Magic Treasure, the Ancestor Hall certainly would not be so rigid as to forbid it.

The saber that Lin Yue had selected from the Duke Heng’s treasure vault was also the most suitable First Grade Magic Treasure for his close combat.

"Huh..."

Under the focused gaze of many, Lin Yue slowly took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the Treasure Mirror within the Barrier ahead.

Not only the candidates but also the spectators not far away were paying attention to Lin Yue.

Many people were already aware that this young master was a prince from the common folk who had awakened his Bloodline a year ago.

Those well-informed even knew that at the birthday banquet ten days ago, this Prince was still at the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier level.

Therefore, he must have achieved a breakthrough just a few days ago.

For the usual genius, just one year of cultivation without Heaven and Earth Treasures to build a foundation from a young age, being able to break through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier within a year would be astounding.

As for the Outer Hall assessment?

For a Cultivator who had just broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, it was somewhat a tall order.

One must be at the Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier to break the first threshold, which is to break through twenty layers of Barriers.

For those who had just reached the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, barely mastering Taiyang, to match the Combat Power of someone at the Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier?

Far too difficult.

It was only because Xiahong, as a prince, was so exceptional, that people believed this newly risen prince might have a chance of matching the Combat Power of those at the Peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier.
