Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 89: Don’t You Come Over Here! The Majestic Stele Forest

At the same time, all the nine pieces of gemstones lit up brightly on the stone pillar.

The never-before-seen nine-star qualification had shocked everyone greatly.

Su Tianyi was so shocked that he just stared with his mouth wide open.

He had only noticed how extraordinary Chu Kuangren seemed, so he allowed him to cut queues to take the test. However, he never once thought that Chu Kuangren was such a powerhouse.

‘A nine-star qualification!’

One should know that Su Tianyi himself had an eight-star qualification, and he was already regarded as one of the most impressive people in the Dharma Sect’s history.

To what extent could Chu Kuangren’s nine-star qualification achieve?

‘The Dharma Sect has found a valuable treasure today!’

“Nine-star qualification?”

Chu Kuangren was not surprised at the results as he whispered to himself.

If top-tiered sky-prides had seven- or even eight-star qualification, then it was not surprising for a peerless sky-pride like him, who had beaten up Young Emperors, to get a nine-star qualification.

Just when he thought that was his qualification level, something strange happened.

The light on the stone pillar started to get even brighter while the runes engraved on it started to flash. Then, a few cracks started to appear on the pillar.

With a crash, the stone test pillar was instantly shattered!

“What’s going on?” Chu Kuangren was a bit dazed.

Did that mean his qualifications exceeded nine stars?

Did the stone test pillar rupture because it could not take proper measurements?

Meanwhile, Su Tianyi and the others were stunned.

“What the hell is this?”

“I have never seen such a thing happen before.”

“Can it be that this stone pillar has fallen into disrepair after many years of negligence, which is why it went out of order?”

“It’s possible.”

Everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

‘So it turns out to be a malfunction.’

They had really thought that a monster with nine-star qualifications had appeared.

“Fellow Daoist, let’s use another stone pillar for the test,” the Dharma Sect’s disciple said.

Chu Kuangren nodded and placed his hand on the other stone pillar.

Similar to earlier, nine pieces of gemstones lit up brightly before the light became increasingly brighter and the stone pillar cracked open and shattered before the crowd’s horrified gaze.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“Is there a problem with this one as well? Why don’t I use another stone pillar?”

Chu Kuangren then headed towards the next stone pillar.

“Stop!”

“Fellow Daoist, please stop!”

“Don’t you come over here!” The other disciple who was overseeing the other pillar hurriedly stopped Chu Kuangren’s way and yelled.

‘Are you kidding me?’

They had finally understood that the problem was not with the stone test pillar but that person, Chu Kuangren!

Everyone was absolutely dumbfounded.

‘What kind of monster is this?’

‘I can’t believe his qualifications are so high that it exceeds the limits of endurance for the stone testing pillar. This person is much stronger than the disciples from the other great orthodoxies.’

“Fellow Daoist, please, there’s no need for you to test anymore, you have passed the first trial.”

Su Tianyi gulped and said.

Speaking to the disciple next to him, he said, “All of you stay here and oversee the first trial of recruitment. In the meantime, I shall bring the ones who had passed over to the second trial.”

“Alright, Senior Brother.”

“By the way, how should I address you, fellow Daoist?”

“My first name is Chu.”

“So you’re Brother Chu then. Alright, allow me to explain the second trial now. It’s a trial that assesses your understanding of techniques. Within the Dharma Sect there lies a stele forest. Inside that forest, thousands of techniques were recorded there…”

Su Tianyi went on explaining about that trial.

Chu Kuangren was just about to explain himself when he heard that and something then flicked within his heart.

‘A stele forest that holds the records of thousands of techniques?’

‘Now that is interesting indeed.’

Hence, Chu Kuangren decided to go there first to take a look.

“By the way, fellow Daoist, why don’t you test your qualifications as well?”

Su Tianyi then looked at Lan Yu who was beside Chu Kuangren.

Lan Yu nodded slightly, walked over to a stone pillar, and placed her hand on it. Within a moment, all nine pieces of gemstones lit up brightly.

That scene once again shocked everyone.

‘Bloody Hell!’

‘Another monster!’

Everyone fixed their eyes on the stone pillar, fearing that it would shatter and crumble as well.

Fortunately, the stone pillar remained intact despite its nine gemstones shining ever so brightly. With that, everyone sighed in relief.

Only then did they return to their senses. ‘This person is a nine-star qualification monster as well!’

‘And that Brother Chu too…’

‘My God, where do these people come from?’

“My fellow Daoist, your qualifications are very impressive indeed. It’s truly worth admiring.” Su Tianyi gulped. He felt like today was a bit too surreal.

He had encountered two monsters that possessed abnormally strong qualifications!

Su Tianyi then brought Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, and the other cultivators who had passed the first trial to the Dharma Sect.

Within a peculiar stele forest in the Dharma Sect.

Countless stone tablets stood firm atop the ground with a great number of runes carved onto them. Every piece of stone tablet represented a type of cultivation technique inside the stele forest.

“What a majestic looking stele forest!”

“Every stone tablet here represents a type of cultivation technique. By the gods, only the Dharma Sect can find and possess so many of them.”

“It’s very wonderful and powerful indeed.”

“Truly worthy of a sage orthodoxy. Their foundations are too strong.”

“I agree. Is this the second trial then?”

Similar to the others, Chu Kuangren was baffled as well.

Using his spiritual thoughts to do a rough scan of the area around him, he found out that there were at least eight thousand stone tablets in the forest, which meant that there were at least eight thousand techniques around them!

Even the Black Heaven Sect could not hope to come up with so many techniques.

Although all the techniques here were below the level of a Supreme Technique, the fact that there were so many was shocking enough. The Dharma Sect truly deserved that name.

“The second trial requires you to gain insights on one of the techniques inscribed on any stone tablet of your choosing. You must complete this task within three days!”

“If you fail to do so, you shall be disqualified.”

Su Tianyi said.

Everyone looked at each other, some dumbfounded by what they heard.

“Are you kidding me? Even if it’s the most general technique, being able to see results within three days is just crazy. How is this possible?”

“Where can anyone with such levels of understanding ever exist in this world?”

“You’re right, this is impossible.”

“This trial is just too hard.”

“I agree…”

Facing the crowd’s questions, Su Tianyi sneered. “The Dharma Sect has a hundred thousand disciples and every single one of them has managed to pass this trial.”

“While the more outstanding among them even managed to gain insights on ten techniques within three days, so don’t use your own weakness as an excuse. If you want to take the trial, just stay. If not, then leave. No one’s forcing you to do this.”

No one was willing to leave.

Even the cultivators who felt that the trial was hard only murmured. Since they were already here, why not give it a go then?

“If that’s the case, then let the trial begin.”

When Su Tianyi was done speaking, he smiled at Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu. “Based on your qualifications, I suppose it will not be a problem for you both. I shall await the good news from you two.”

Although qualifications were not the same thing as understanding or gaining insights, generally speaking, a cultivator with good qualifications would not be that bad in terms of gaining insights as well.

After Su Tianyi left, Chu Kuangren looked at the countless stone tablets before him and smiled. “This stele forest is an interesting place.”

As his spiritual thoughts did a sweep and scanned through each of the stone tablets, Chu Kuangren started to gain insights.

All those techniques may not be useful to Chu Kuangren, but they were countless in quantity and that was the advantage.

Besides, the techniques were various in kind and different in forms. It would be beneficial to Chu Kuangren in helping him with his Single Strike Technique.

Just when Chu Kuangren was starting to gain insights on the techniques, Lan Yu immediately entered a state of alert and stood guard around him. She wanted to prevent him from being disturbed by anyone.

“Young lady, there are plenty of techniques around this forest. Why don’t you let us stand guard over the kid while you go and gain insights from some of them if you want.”

Within the void, Honorable Qing Lan’s voice was heard.

“There’s no need.”

Lan Yu shook her head because after all, she already had her Daoist techniques. Besides, gaining insights on a few more techniques would not bring many benefits to her at all.

Moreover, from her perspective, even if one has thousands of techniques, how could they compare to Chu Kuangren’s single strand of hair?
