I Break through Crazily

The examinee in the Light Curtain’s video hadn’t even regained his footing. Without so much as a glance, he threw a backhanded palm strike at the ambushing Demon Beast with incredible speed.

"SMACK!"

The next moment, a crisp crack echoed from the Light Curtain, reaching the ears of everyone in Shuangyong Square.

Anyone could sense the immense power behind that palm strike just from the sharp sound.

The examinee’s palm landed squarely on the Demon Beast. Struck by the blow, the ambushing beast was sent flying, crashing heavily against a large tree. Its eyes bulged, and then it went still.

’Looks like... it’s dead?’

’Killed with a single palm strike?’

"WHOA!"

Seeing this, the disciples watching from their seats erupted into a clamor, all talking at once.

"That... was amazing. If I were in that situation, I would have at least suffered a Severe Injury! But this examinee not only resolved the crisis with ease but also killed the ambushing Demon Beast? That level of skill... even we Outer Mansion disciples can’t compare, can we?"

"Such fast reflexes, such a quick palm strike, such immense power! That’s the most incredible counter-kill I’ve ever seen!"

"Who is this examinee? With that kind of strength, he could easily rank in the top 3,000 of the Outer Mansion, right?"

"Could he be the one who shot up to second place on the rankings? Who else could kill a Level 4 Demon Beast so easily?"

"Hey, haven’t you all been a bit too jumpy these past few days? Don’t just assume everyone is the second-ranked examinee. I admit he’s strong and has fast reflexes, but we’ll have to wait and see before we say he’s number two."

"That’s right. This examinee just has quick reflexes, a strong Palm Technique, and decent power. There’s no need to assume he’s the second-ranked one."

"But you have to admit, this examinee’s strength is truly impressive. He killed a Level 4 Demon Beast with ease. The House Entrance Examination should be no problem for him, right?"

"It’s still hard to say. Let’s just watch. What if something unexpected happens?"

"I agree. There are plenty of strong people in the world, but very, very few can endure to the end."

"..."

「On the other side.」

"What does everyone think?"

Watching the first bit of footage transmitted from the Light Curtain, Chu Mingyue frowned and posed the question to the group.

Le Ling, ranked third, thought for a moment before speaking first. "What do I think? In my opinion, the examinee’s strength is quite good. His combat reflexes, Speed, and Combat Power are all top-notch. He should have no problem passing the House Entrance Examination. He might even be able to break into the top 3,000 of our Outer Mansion’s rankings after he gets in."

"Mm, I agree with Le Ling. The examinee is agile, his moves are clean and decisive, and he killed in one blow. He’s a decent talent. What’s this? Are you taking a liking to him, Brother Chu?" Xiang Moyang asked Chu Mingyue with a smile.

Chu Mingyue shook his head without replying. Instead, he turned to Mu Yuchen and asked, "Yuchen, what about you? What do you think?"

At his words, Mu Yuchen’s gaze remained fixed on the image in the Light Curtain. He said, meaningfully, "Very strong."

Mu Yuchen’s response was concise, just two words, but those two words served as a complete Description of his thoughts.

"’Very strong?’ Aren’t you overhyping him a bit? His strength is decent, sure, but compared to us, he’s nothing special, right? You’d use those two words, ’very strong,’ for your Evaluation?" Xiang Moyang questioned.

In the face of Xiang Moyang’s doubt, Mu Yuchen just sneered, shot him a contemptuous glance, and said nothing.

"You!"

Xiang Moyang was furious.

’He’s actually looking down on me!’

’Me, ranked fifth, being looked down on by number six?’

"Don’t cause a scene."

Chu Mingyue stopped their bickering, then turned to Chu Nan. "Sister Nan, what are your thoughts?"

Chu Nan shook her head. "I can’t see through him."

"Mm, my Sister Nan feels the same way I do. I can’t see through this examinee either."

Chu Mingyue stared at the Light Curtain, saying thoughtfully, "This examinee gives me an incredibly mysterious feeling. It’s not just that I can’t see his Level. His aura also feels very strange—not powerful at all, even a bit weak, like he’s just an ordinary person. And yet, he can kill a Level 4 Demon Beast with a single palm strike. It’s extremely strange."

"And there’s more. Look, he was ambushed by a Demon Beast before he’d even regained his balance, yet he was able to react instantly. Furthermore, despite being ambushed in a life-or-death moment, his expression showed no trace of nervousness from beginning to end. He was completely calm, as if he couldn’t care less about an attack from a Level 4 Demon Beast."

"Now look at his strike. He launched that palm without any preparation, yet it landed perfectly on the Level 4 Demon Beast’s head, killing it instantly. Judging from all these details, this examinee is anything but simple."

After hearing Chu Mingyue’s analysis, the others thought back for a moment and suddenly realized he was right.

The examinee’s composure was too perfect, his handling of the details too refined. This was not the performance of an ordinary examinee!

"Brother Chu, in that case, do you think this person could be the examinee who shot up to second place on the rankings?" Le Ling guessed.

"I don’t know if he’s the second-ranked examinee yet; we’ll have to see more. But this person is definitely strong. Perhaps he could become my rival in the future," Chu Mingyue said seriously after a moment of thought.

"Your rival in the future?"

The group stared at Chu Mingyue in astonishment.

That was an extremely high Evaluation!

Regardless of whether this examinee was the one ranked second or not, he had enough to be proud of with Chu Mingyue’s Evaluation.

One must understand that Chu Mingyue would not casually give someone such a high Evaluation. None of them—not Le Ling, Mu Yuchen, Xiang Moyang, or Chu Nan—had ever received such high praise from him.

In the West Mansion Outer Mansion, Chu Mingyue was synonymous with invincibility. No one could stand against him.

Chu Nan, Le Ling, Mu Yuchen, Xiang Moyang—none of them were a match for Chu Mingyue, and the gap was enormous!

A difference of 2,000 Evaluation points. The gap in their strength was like an abyss, completely insurmountable.

A powerhouse like him actually evaluated the examinee on the Light Curtain as ’perhaps he could become my rival in the future’?

Just how immense was this examinee’s potential?

But just as everyone was marveling at Chu Mingyue’s incredibly high praise, Chu Mingyue thought for a moment more and added, "No, that’s not right. Not a rival in the future. Perhaps we will become rivals very soon. That examinee... he didn’t even use a Martial Technique just now!"
