Chapter 878: Chapter 95: Heroes Across the Land Are Like Fish Crossing the River

"This, is this possible?" Xiao Yan knew about the Secret Castle and the tests and divisions that occur upon entering. But to imitate after just one glance, that’s too outrageous.

"Some people can do it. The main test and accompanying tests of the Secret Castle are divided based on talent, as talent determines the upper limit. Immortals aren’t interested in things beyond talent." Ku Chan said.

"Are you two the main testers?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"Participated." Liu Zhongyang said.

Ku Chan smiled wryly, "I was also a main tester for a period, and later on, there were things that were indeed hard to keep up with."

"Can’t keep up? You mean there are people stronger than you?" Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"What’s strange about that, heroes are as numerous as fish in a river, Secret Castle testers include direct disciples from the other Four Great Sanctuaries, Dao Yuan Seven Great Churches, secret organization Holy Sons and Saintesses, and people from the Central Continent. Talent is just a threshold." Liu Zhongyang said.

"What about him?"

Ku Chan and Liu Zhongyang looked towards Li Xin in the Martial Arts Arena, who seemed as if nothing had happened. Recalling the Immortal who had just played chess with him, their remaining doubts dissipated, "He’s the king of the Secret Castle."

"Avogadro, the only one with a name in the Secret Castle."

Xiao Yan felt like he was listening to celestial scriptures. He hadn’t gone to the Secret Castle selection, but he knew that some people who went not only gained the identity of the Celestial Destiny Sect, but now each one is at the top ten level.

"Isn’t he invincible then?"

"Perhaps outside, but here is the Divine Land, where the power of Divine Relics is limited. He probably can’t fully unleash it, and he certainly hasn’t learned our cultivation techniques, essentially starting from zero. However, the name of Avogadro still carries some weight." Liu Zhongyang said.

"I don’t think so. Talent is just one aspect; there’s also effort, opportunities, encounters, resources, and more." Xiao Yan said, looking at Li Xin on stage, "Of course, I’m not saying he’s not strong."

Ku Chan and Liu Zhongyang exchanged glances without arguing, knowing that those who haven’t seen or experienced it firsthand wouldn’t understand.

The noisy scene finally calmed down for the three elders’ critiques.

"Chu Zhan’s progress is substantial, one might say it’s rapid. With his Palm Thunder and Sword Control Technique, given time, he will surely be a mainstay of the Divine Land." Tang Feng said.

"Throughout history, the Three Pristine Sect has had few at this age who comprehended the Sword Control Technique, and his Spirit Root evolved from Upper Grade Thunder Spirit Root to Top-Grade Thunder Spirit Root." Kui Ma said with emotion, "It’s a pity that further settling down would be better. Speaking of which, Ren Yanli is too lucky, hasn’t lost a single match so far."

The Three Pristine Sect is blessed. With Chu Zhan’s insight and Spirit Root enhancement, his future is boundless.

The crowd was in an uproar; someone like that lost?

Everyone looked at Wang Zhigao, who frowned and had a complex expression when looking at Li Xin, "Who knows what sect or school this child belongs to?"

Wang Zhigao tilted his head toward Tang Feng and Kui Ma.

"He’s a Loose Cultivator, with no sect or school, from Li Long. It’s said he signed a contract with Jiuxiao Building to challenge Divine Land cultivators." Tang Feng said.

Wang Zhigao’s eyes flashed sharply, "Humph, arrogant. Divine Land’s magic, Dao Yuan is the best!"

Any slight appreciation vanished instantly. Wang Zhigao is an absolute proponent of the Divine Land, believing that everything else is inferior, only the Divine Land is superior.

Of course, he doesn’t deny Ren Yanli’s strength. Although he didn’t use Thunder Technique, the Spiritual Ability manner driven by Palm Thunder is the same, thus capable of destroying the Sword Control Technique.

"Elder Wang, everyone’s waiting for your critique." Yun Le reminded, since they paid for it.

Wang Zhigao looked at Chu Zhan, who was awakened, "Dog, learned halfway and came out to show off, just learned Palm Thunder, didn’t you? It can’t even shake anyone, Sword Control Technique, it’s shattered simply. You’re playing with throwing knives. Your comprehension of these two moves is at most for this period, no more than ten days, yet you can’t resist showing off, foolish. Avoid making such mistakes again; Spirit Root evolution also needs stabilization, or it will regress."

The crowd looked at Chu Zhan, clicking their tongues as Palm Thunder and Sword Control Technique were criticized like this, but ultimately the key point was made: Spirit Root needs stabilization. Regressing would mean past efforts are wasted.

Chu Zhan quickly stood up, weakly saluted. He really didn’t know that Spirit Root evolution could regress, otherwise he wouldn’t dare to be so reckless.

Everyone showed envious expressions. Although Wang Zhigao was scolding him, he did give guidance. After all, he was one of their own.

Wang Zhigao snorted coldly, ignoring him, then looked at Ren Yanli.

"I heard you’re from outside, quite arrogant, and indeed your Knightly Path foundation is decent, but this is the Divine Land. A dragon must coil, a tiger must crouch. Don’t overestimate yourself just because you momentarily won a few matches." Wang Zhigao’s tone shifted, directly addressing the upcoming person: "Who’s his next opponent? Pay attention, you represent not just yourself or your sect, but the honor of the Divine Land!"

Veteran cultivators like Wang Zhigao are inherently prideful and absolutely do not allow the Divine Land’s disciples to lose face. Otherwise, today he could scold Chu Zhan to death, even drag in his mentor and Jiang Jinyue for a scolding, what nonsense, not even overseeing properly, utter chaos.

Tang Feng and Kui Ma looked at the fiery Wang Zhigao and chuckled, exchanging a knowing smile: "Exactly, that kid’s too arrogant, starting with three consecutive victories since coming to Jiuxiao Building, not taking Divine Land cultivators seriously, but his next opponent is Little Vajra Meng Kuo."

"Meng Kuo, which Meng Kuo?" Wang Zhigao asked in return.

"Didn’t you see the preview?"

"Why would I watch that? He got three victories, against Chu Zhan and Meng Kuo?"

"Also an Infinite Sword Sect’s Shao Feng." Kui Ma said softly.

Wang Zhigao’s face stiffened, "Shameless!"

He knows others might think he’s arrogant, he himself knows he’s arrogant, but seeing the one on stage, that’s the real arrogance, letting Chu Zhan go, but Meng Kuo and Shao Feng losing face, that’s embarrassing, it’d be a disgrace for the Divine Land if word got out.

Little Vajra Meng Kuo takes the stage, Chu Zhan set a good tone.

As for Wang Zhigao’s critique, Li Xin just laughs it off, Old Wang really loves to rant.

With Meng Kuo on stage, Jiuxiao Building fell silent; he’s the real tough player. His lower Red Ranking isn’t due to weak strength, but fewer matches played, but maintaining all-win records, he’s absolutely the core of the Vajra Institute. Anyone who’s seen Meng Kuo fight would never forget.

Li Xin examining Meng Kuo, his character differs from other Vajra Institute members, not talkative, very steady.

"Vajra Institute Meng Kuo, please."

"Loose Cultivator Ren Yanli, please."

Meng Kuo assumed the elbow-supporting stance from the Institute’s Mountain-Shattering Eighteen Hands, his center slowly sank, abruptly exhaled, and it seemed the entire space sank with it.

Li Xin’s eyes flickered slightly.
