"Li Yang has completely mastered the fourth form of the Hexagram Spear!"
"He... passed the fifth step of the Divine Path!"
"Five years ago, during the final ranking battles of the talent selection, Li Yang had only just mastered the third form of the Hexagram Spear. It’s only been five years, and he has already mastered the fourth!"
"It took Lan Yu more than five years to master the fourth form of the Wheel of Time, didn’t it? Li Yang’s rate of progress... is completely on par with Lan Yu’s!"
...
Inside the Flame Wave Sect Master’s palace, several Deities watched the video feed before them, their faces betraying their shock.
In just five short years, he went from only being able to pass the first step of the Divine Path to clearing the fifth!
On average, that was one step a year!
This was the Divine Path. There were forty-nine steps in total. Passing all of them meant becoming a Deity with eternal life!
You had to understand, geniuses like Long Zhan and Mute could place first in the Human Race’s normal talent selections, and the Human Race produced maybe one or two of them every ten thousand years.
In five years, they went from the first step of the Divine Path to the second. This was considered a normal level of progress.
Someone like Dilunxi, going directly from the first step to the third, was a pleasant surprise! That surpassed the normal level!
These were all normal top-tier geniuses.
But people like Lan Yu and Mixed Void were complete exceptions!
Leaving aside Mixed Void, just take Lan Yu for example. In five years, he went from the fifth step of the Divine Path directly to the seventh. A rate of progress like that could only be described as monstrous!
Lan Yu had been judged a peerless genius, the kind the Human Race sees only once in several billion years!
Now, Li Yang had gone from the first step to the fifth in five years. Even if this rate of progress didn’t match Lan Yu’s, it was definitely not far behind.
Li Yang... he was also a peerless genius, the kind the Human Race sees only once in several billion years!
Moreover, Li Yang was still so young. At the same age, even Lan Yu’s strength had not been as great as Li Yang’s!
The Flame Wave Sect Master and the others were utterly shocked.
They looked at the smiling Blade Slaughter Sect Master beside them, and the trace of regret in their hearts suddenly magnified many times over.
"Blade Slaughter, your eye for talent is better than ours."
"Li Yang’s rate of progress... His future is absolutely limitless."
"That’s right. Lan Yu wasn’t this strong when he was Li Yang’s age."
The Flame Wave Sect Master and the others offered their congratulations with smiles.
They were smiling, but their hearts were filled with regret.
’If only I had known, I would have supported Li Yang in comprehending the Fire Element Law.’
The Flame Wave Sect Master was filled with regret. ’A peerless genius who appears once in billions of years! As long as a talent like that doesn’t perish, he’s highly likely to become a powerful Deity, with some chance of even becoming a mighty Emperor!’
’I could have tolerated any amount of "willfulness" from a genius like that.’
’But because Li Yang chose to comprehend the Fire Element Law, I gave up on him.’
’Otherwise, I would be the one receiving congratulations right now.’
It wasn’t just him; Sect Master Lie Yuan and the others were also deeply regretful. With such a genius right in front of them, who wouldn’t be tempted?
They had all been just one step away from taking Li Yang as a disciple.
"Haha, it’s not that I’m a good teacher; it’s that Li Yang’s Talent is exceptional." Hearing the congratulations, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master chuckled.
He secretly thought, ’Li Yang’s talent for Laws is truly terrifying. I knew the various attack methods created by Yuan Wu would help him, but I never expected the help to be this significant!’
Yuan Wu had originally comprehended the Teleportation Profound Skill of the Space Law, the Bursting Profound Skill of the Thunder Law, and the Melting Essence Profound Skill of the Fire Element Law.
Yuan Wu was a genius at creating attacks. He even created his own technique that could perfectly fuse the profound skills of these three different Laws!
Generally speaking, the stronger one’s Talent for the Space Law, Thunder Law, and Fire Element Law, the greater the inspiration one will receive when learning the attacks Yuan Wu created!
And the strength Li Yang was displaying now completely proved just how terrifying his Talent for the Space, Thunder, and Fire Element Laws truly was!
"Look, Li Yang is fighting the demonic beast in the space of the sixth step of the Divine Path."
...
「The Sixth Step of the Divine Path」
Inside the space, Li Yang looked at the strange, multi-armed demonic beast in the distance.
The demonic beast was emitting waves of Law fluctuations, and this fluctuation was extremely familiar to Li Yang.
"Space Law!"
The demonic beast in this step’s space used the Space Law.
A glint of fighting spirit appeared in Li Yang’s eyes. ’I’ve just mastered the fourth form of the Hexagram Spear, so I won’t be able to pass this trial. Still, I want to see just how strong this demonic beast is.’
’If I can’t pass it this time, I will definitely pass it next time!’
BOOM!
The battle erupted in an instant!
The demonic beast’s speed was astonishing. With a single movement, it appeared right beside Li Yang.
’Teleportation Profound Skill?’
Li Yang’s expression didn’t change as he hastily used the Illusion Body Skill to dodge.
But the moment it appeared, the demonic beast’s attack also struck. It seemed Li Yang couldn’t dodge at all. The Hexagram Spear in his hand shot out like lightning, brazenly clashing with the beast’s attack.
However, Li Yang’s attack was clearly no match. He felt a terrifying power surge toward him, frantically pouring into his body. Li Yang’s life force immediately dropped, and his figure was sent flying backward.
But it wasn’t over. The demonic beast appeared by Li Yang’s side again, its attack coming once more.
Li Yang didn’t even have time to use his Hexagram Spear before he was hit again.
Li Yang felt a sense of helplessness. ’I’m no match for it at all.’
The Teleportation Profound Skill granted astonishing speed. It was just like before, when Li Yang used it to cultivate his Body Technique. Even though Mute was slightly stronger than him, he couldn’t even touch him.
But this demonic beast’s comprehension of the Teleportation Profound Skill was clearly much deeper than Li Yang’s. Its Body Technique was so phantom-like that it could attack him with ease, while Li Yang couldn’t even get an attack off.
This was the terror of the Space Law’s Teleportation Profound Skill!
However, Li Yang’s current strength was also formidable. This demonic beast wasn’t completely crushing him.
One second... two seconds... In the space of the sixth step, Li Yang managed to last for twenty seconds.
SWOOSH!
Another attack struck, and Li Yang’s life force completely vanished. He was eliminated from the battle space.
...
"Li Yang failed."
"That’s normal. He just mastered the fourth form of the Hexagram Spear."
"Five years ago, Lan Yu also only lasted for about twenty-some seconds in this step’s space."
"At this rate of progress, Li Yang will probably pass the sixth step very soon!"
As the Flame Wave Sect Master and the others watched Li Yang get eliminated, their faces still held a trace of shock.
In just five short years, Li Yang had grown so rapidly, rising like a comet.
In this session of the Eternal Saint Hall’s talent selection for the Three Thousand Star Continents of the Human Race, Mixed Void’s Talent ranked in the top one hundred in all of Human Race history. Lan Yu’s Talent was a once-in-billions-of-years phenomenon. And now, another peerless genius had appeared—one who could rival Lan Yu, another talent the Human Race might only see once in billions of years!
