Chapter 603: Chapter 604 Another Test

Outside the array, the elder assessing the exam sat leisurely in his chair, surveying the array with an air of nonchalance.

"These two lads, you still haven’t come out? I thought that once they saw that Asura, they would willingly run out, but why haven’t they emerged yet?"

The elder muttered to himself.

"Now, Han Yueli is the darling of those old fossils at the academy. If Chu Fengmian were to die during this assessment, it’d be quite the headache if Han Yueli were to come looking."

"However, this is a mission handed down by the Holy Faction. Even if these two chaps die, it’s of no great consequence. Two Inner Sect Disciples dying in the assessment isn’t a major issue."

The elder assessing the exam thought coldly to himself.

Just at that moment, a burst of light suddenly emanated from the array.

Inside the cave dwelling, two figures, Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan, emerged directly from the array.

"Oh? You’ve come out? It’s okay if you didn’t pass—you can still apply for the next round of the assessment."

The elder assessing the exam said with a smile.

"Since you didn’t pass the assessment this time, you may leave the Northern Mang Sacred Domain. Without being promoted to Seed Disciple, you have no right to cultivate within the Northern Mang Sacred Domain."

Smiling on the surface, the elder’s heart sneered; those who offend the Holy Faction think they can be promoted to Seed Disciple so easily?

Chu Fengmian revealed a strange smile and said,

"Oh? Who said we didn’t pass the assessment?"

"Isn’t it just slaying an Asura? I didn’t expect the assessment to be this simple."

"What? What did you say?"

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, the elder first froze, then couldn’t help asking.

"You completed the task, you slew that Asura?"

The elder’s voice was filled with utter shock.

The strength of this Asura was well-known to the elder; even if he himself entered, he might not be able to slay it but would likely be slain by the Asura instead.

"Chu Fengmian, be clear, lying is pointless now. We can verify it with a check!"

The elder assessing the exam said coldly.

"If you failed the assessment, just leave obediently. Don’t cause any more trouble."

Chu Fengmian did not speak. He glanced at Bai Xuan beside him. Bai Xuan moved her hand, and a bone sword was directly thrown onto the ground.

The robustness of this bone sword even caused a large pit to be smashed into the floor.

"What is this?"

The elder assessing the exam was startled upon seeing the bone sword, especially at the moment he saw the terrifying demonic aura on it.

"Asura’s bone sword? With such intense demonic energy, did you not only slay the Asura but also refine it into this bone sword?"

When the elder spoke, his voice trembled.

This bone sword was indeed that of an Asura. An Asura would never discard its weapon, and this bone sword thus represented the life of an Asura.

Especially the demonic aura on it, which was clearly the result of fusing the Asura’s blood into it completely.

Two martial artists at the peak of the Divine Power realm had actually slain a high-tier Asura at the Life-Death realm.

The Asuras were one of the most difficult beings to deal with among the Heavenly Demon race. Each one was comparable to a human genius, a terrifying existence capable of fighting beyond their level.

Yet now, it was directly slain and even its blood was completely infused into this bone sword, crafting it into a Spirit Sword.

This made the elder assessing the exam’s scalp tingle.

"Impossible, this can’t be real!"

The elder assessing the exam said with some disbelief.

"This must be some fortunate encounter you had before, something you were prepared with."

"Then please, elder, proceed with the verification,"

Chu Fengmian said without further ado, tossing the bone sword to the elder assessing the exam.

The elder took the bone sword, still somewhat skeptical and incredulous.

With a motion of his palm, a water mirror appeared before the bone sword, attempting to trace the history of the Asura.

He watched as the figure within the array gradually appeared, the Asura being defeated by Chu Fengmian, suppressed and annihilated, its blood infused into the bone sword, forging the sword.

All of this fell into the eyes of the elder assessing the exam, each step indisputable.

After seeing all this, the elder looked at Chu Fengmian as if he were looking at a monster.

This high-tier Asura in the Life-Death realm was effortlessly suppressed and extinguished in Chu Fengmian’s hands, showcasing a terrifying strength.

Especially the War Dragon’s Claw, the power contained within it caused the surface of his water mirror to show cracks, almost shattering it entirely.

"I thought Han Yueli was the only monster, but this person’s strength is also truly terrifying!"

The elder assessing the exam looked at Chu Fengmian, his gaze flickering, and it took a long while before he slowly spoke.

"Indeed, you have killed the Asura, and you have passed this assessment."

"However,"

The elder’s face suddenly showed a hint of coldness, and he said with a change of tone.

"Although you’ve passed this assessment, the two of you still cannot be promoted to Seed Disciples. There’s still another test you must undergo."

"What? Another test?"

Bai Xuan frowned upon hearing the words of the elder assessing the exam.

"Isn’t the assessment for Seed Disciples always just this one?"

Even Chu Fengmian’s eyes showed a hint of malice.

The test for Seed Disciples, he had heard of it being thorny, but still within the rules.

Chu Fengmian, possessing strength, could naturally break it. Yet, he had never heard of a second test.

"Hmph, are you the assessing elder or me? What do you understand? The test for Seed Disciples always had two components; it’s just that one was omitted previously,"

The elder assessing the exam spoke coldly.

"To be promoted to Seed Disciple, one must meet two conditions. Completing this test is only one of them. There’s another point, one must possess the limit realm of Divine Power to qualify."

"Now, follow me to the assessment hall. We must see whether you truly possess the limit realm of Divine Power!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing the words of the assessing elder, the expressions of Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan changed slightly.

The rule to be in the limit realm of Divine Power was indeed one for Seed Disciples.

But anyone eligible to be promoted to Seed Disciple was at the limit realm of Divine Power already, so this rule was usually overlooked.

Like Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan, who were indeed at the limit realm of Divine Power, it was something anyone could see at a glance.

This assessing elder brought up this point at this time, clearly had an ulterior motive.

"This elder is targeting us, intending to check our realm, he might cheat in the process. What shall we do?"

Bai Xuan said with some concern.
