I Have Medicine

Chapter 303 - Entering Ten Ultimates Sect

On the outside, everyone was paying attention to Gongyi Tianheng’s situation.

They only saw how Tianheng’s eyes were slightly closed. His entire person was ignorant and unaware. His consciousness was already wandering through the martial skills without any boundaries. A breath of time quickly passed by. Soon after, it was two breaths of time, three breaths of time... Four breaths, five breaths, six breaths! This had surpassed the time of that exceptional genius from before!

He still didn’t wake up.

At this point, everyone present realized that, regardless of whether his comprehension reached the level of a prodigy during this test, he was certainly at the level of an exceptional genius at the very least.

Thus, they were even more expectant.

Tianheng didn’t disappoint them. In the blink of an eye, he had already illuminated nine stars!

However, to move from nine stars to ten stars was to shift from exceptional genius to prodigy. This was a natural barrier. As a result, if one were to say that five breaths could reach nine stars, then six breaths would be the same. Even with seven or eight breaths, one would still remain at nine stars!

If one wanted to reach the ten-star prodigy rank, then the amount of time spent would be several times to dozens of times as much as before.

Everyone waited with bated breaths. The seconds and minutes ticked by.

Gradually, just when everyone felt that the day was dragging past like a year, the tenth star lit up!

Sure enough, it was the prodigy rank!

Even if his final result was only at ten stars, this was the comprehension of the prodigy rank!

— In that case, was he capable of illuminating the eleventh star?

The facts didn’t leave them disappointed.

After the time of a small cup of tea, the eleventh star lit up. And after a joss of incense, the twelfth star was also ignited!

And once the twelfth star was illuminated, no less than another ten minutes passed before Tianheng slowly opened his eyes. From within those boundless and profound martial skills, he had awakened.

In addition to his twelve-star attack power, he also had a twelve-star comprehension!

Such aptitudes were truly formidable!

The moods of those masters suddenly became complicated.

So long as the attack power and comprehension reached the prodigy rank, then even if the toughness of his physical body was ordinary, it wouldn’t matter. This was because, regardless of how bad a martial artist’s physical body was, one could make up for it so long as there was enough resources. Instead, it was one’s comprehension which was the most important. It was innate. In this world, the miraculous medicines that could raise one’s comprehension were incomparably precious and rare. Even if the sect had them, it wouldn’t give them to someone so easily.

In actuality, during the second checkpoint’s testing, one’s comprehension was of the utmost importance!

After becoming aware of how good Tianheng’s comprehension was, the masters didn’t say too much. However, among the attendants who stood around them, some people silently left the main hall.

When the other martial artists saw this, how couldn’t they realize that those people wanted to leave for the Inner Sect to disclose information? This was already a quasi top-notch prodigy, and such personages were destined to enter the Inner Sect. As such, whoever could become his master could get the greatest benefits because of him!

Regardless of whether it was short-term or long-term benefits... Whoever struck first would gain the upper hand. Those runners naturally wanted to hurriedly inform the people of their own factions. To prepare for benefits, one needed to be ready to fight for it!

At this moment, Tianheng didn’t pay too much attention to everyone’s impressions of him. He only lifted his legs, and entered that transparent capsule. He intended to test his own physical body.

Among the three components that the second checkpoint assessed, the one that Tianheng had the most confidence in was naturally his comprehension. And as for the one he was the least assured of, it was the toughness of his physical body.

Just when he entered the capsule, a green liquid began to emerge from all directions. And the instant it appeared, an enormous squeezing force was similarly transmitted from all sides, making Tianheng feel a terrifying pressure that continuously attacked his physical body from inside and out.

In the blink of an eye, he felt a slight twinge of pain.

Tianheng’s expression didn’t change as he quietly experienced this kind of sensation.

It was as if these squeezing forces were causing the bones from all over his body to make creaking sounds. His blood started to boil, his meridians were subjected to impacts, and every inch of his flesh was being squeezed into paste by a type of enormous constriction.

Naturally, this was an illusion.

However, this kind of illusion was incessantly attacking Tianheng’s willpower.

Fortunately, Tianheng’s willpower was very strong. He was an expert in endurance.

Due to the Beast Blood Body Tempering, the Fire Cloud Body Tempering, and Gu Zuo’s long-term medicines which nourished his body, although the Tiandu Body’s meridians were comparatively frail, they had been mended up to this point in time. With regards to the Xiantian Realm, this was already sufficient. As a result, his present physical body had long excelled in the Xiantian Realm. It, in no way, held him back!

Outside the transparent capsule, the masters originally worried that Tianheng hadn’t been able to balance his development. Their complexions all bore deep concern. However, after Tianheng persevered for a joss of incense, the number of stars on that column had already reached as many as ten! This proved that his physical body far surpassed that of an ordinary person!

Only, there were also masters who saw that Tianheng was currently in a lot of pain. However, because of Tianheng’s performance, they praised him even more.

When the green liquid within that transparent capsule was brimming with crushing force, it was also simultaneously filled with a nourishing power, which prevented the pressure from collapsing Tianheng’s physical body. Although this was a test of the physical body, it could also be considered a test of one’s willpower. If a martial artist’s willpower was extremely strong, then even if his body didn’t genuinely reach the level indicated by the star rating, his physical body’s potential would’ve attained that degree eventually. Such an achievement was quite out of the ordinary.

At this very moment, those purple stars on the column which belonged to the prodigy rank were steadily flickering. Suddenly, it suddenly jumped to eleven stars! As for Tianheng, his complexion was still tranquil as he let the time pass him by.

— Was it going to be twelve stars again?

As a matter of fact, the eleven stars right now already exceeded everyone’s predictions. After all, even if it was a prodigy, one would always have strong points and weak points. Merely, even though their weak points were considered strong points among other geniuses, it didn’t mean that they themselves didn’t have tendencies or inclinations.

Nevertheless, after this prodigy obtained two full sets of twelve stars, there was a possibility to attain a third full set of stars!

Those masters didn’t say a word.

Right now, the venue was completely silent.

Time was clearly passing quickly, but at this moment, it felt slow. As they waited during these final moments, their hearts were high-strung, and they couldn’t remain calm.

Another joss of incense passed.

That twelfth star flickered to life as it was dyed a purple color.

During the test for physical toughness, the stars didn’t rise as rapidly as it did for the first two components. However, when all was said and done, there were still twelve stars. And finally, within a period of time that wasn’t short, that hint of purple gradually dyed the entire star a deep violet!

The twelve purple stars were peerlessly refined and exquisite!

Those masters couldn’t help heaving lengthy sighs: “An all-star...”

Three consecutive components, and all three had full scores!

This kind of all-star prodigy would be as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn even in a gold-ranked organization. But meeting one in a silver-ranked organization was almost an impossible encounter!

Immediately following which, these masters didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It was only because this prodigy, who had three full sets of stars, had truly emerged too sedately. They really didn’t know how they ought to have responded. But whatever the case might be, retaining this prodigy was the first priority!

Tianheng walked out of the capsule, and sensed the lightness of his whole body.

The bone pearls within his body began to stir. After comprehending the path of martial arts through the second test, the barrier that separated him from the Immortal Realm weakened increasingly, as if he could make a breakthrough at anytime and anywhere.

Yet, he still restrained himself. This junction was special. He wanted to apprentice himself to a master and obtain the other party’s pointers before making a decision. Moreover, after leaving those endlessly profound and mysterious martial skills, although he no longer remembered what those martial skills were in the end, the sensations of many paths of martial arts had already settled within his heart. This allowed him to achieve realizations with a few of his own self-created martial skills. He only needed to find a location with sufficient ambient qi, and then he could enter seclusion to create and refine them.

At this moment, a master walked over with a face filled with smiles: “What would this prodigy be called? Do you want to follow this old man into the Inner Sect, and apprentice yourself to a great teacher?”

He hadn’t yet asked whether this prodigy would enter their Ten Ultimates Sect, so he was going to confirm this matter with his words right now! What should be done if by any chance this prodigy originally didn’t know that his aptitudes were already so extraordinary, and he felt regretful about joining a silver-ranked organization after the testing? It was better to be polite first, and to keep the other side’s mood happy.

Tianheng swept a glance over his own test results, and felt slightly surprised over the matter that he had a full score of twelve stars three times in a row. However, he knew that he possessed the Tiandu Body, and under Gu Zuo’s cautious and conscientious nursing, his physical body’s shortcomings had reached incredible levels in the Xiantian Realm. After composing himself, he didn’t feel that this was strange.

And with his intelligence, he naturally understood his own worth the instant that master opened his mouth. He also understood that he would certainly obtain countless benefits if he entered Ten Ultimates Sect.

This was precisely what he had been searching for in his heart.

In addition, even though his tested aptitudes exceeded expectations, he didn’t intend to switch directions and seek out a gold-ranked organization. Although the resources of gold-ranked organizations were more abundant, it would be internally distributed among many more geniuses. Granted that such aptitudes were rare, it would never be rarer than within silver-ranked organizations. While he might be able to get first-class treatment in a gold-ranked organization, he could probably obtain special-grade treatment in a silver-ranked organization — Besides, Ten Ultimates Sect, this kind of silver-ranked organization, was a veteran force. It definitely wasn’t inferior to a gold-ranked organization. Gold-ranked organizations also wouldn’t easily make an enemy out of Ten Ultimates Sect.

Tianheng understood even more clearly that after he entered a silver-ranked organization, the influence and clout he received would certainly be higher than if he was in a gold-ranked organization. As such, he could persuade the sect to help him search for his little pharmacist as soon as possible. His Ah Zuo.

Having made up his mind, he followed along with that master’s words, and slightly nodded his head. Just as he was about to open his mouth —

All of a sudden, the other couple of masters promptly approached. They spoke one after another:

“It would be better for this little brother to accompany this old man. How about it?”

“The road to the Inner Sect is long. This old man possesses the World Palm skill, and it’s most convenient to carry people with. Why not journey together with this old man?”

“This old man has a mount with a wingspan of dozens of meters. It’s incredibly comfortable. Little brother, how about accepting this old man’s invitation?”

“Little brother, this old man can...”

There were all kinds of enthusiastic words and all sorts of cordial invitations. Not a single one didn’t invite Tianheng to go with them to the Inner Sect. As for the other people who still needed to be tested, as well as those who had already been tested and needed to be taken away, all of them had been tossed to the back of their minds.
