Fantasy Talent Tree: Cultivation For 20 Years In Prison - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Assessment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Yu Chen made this request, the surrounding elders did not seem very eager to agree to his request.

Even the Hall Masters, who had been silent, frowned.

Yu Chen was too impatient.

Sect Master Feng Changchun thought so too.

Cultivators mainly cultivated their hearts.

Be it cultivation or anything else, he could not be too impetuous.

Yu Chen’s action was the complete opposite.

Is this partly because he is still young?’

However, just as Sect Master Feng Changchun was about to reject his request, a calm elderly voice sounded in his mind.

‘Accept his request, Xiao Chun.’

Feng Changchun slowly opened his eyes and thought to himself, ‘Father?’

The elderly voice resounded again.

‘Yes, this child is not simple. Remember to keep him in the sect. If the need were to arise, I will allow you to do everything you can.’

These words made Feng Changchun’s eyebrows twitch.

Feng Changchun was now living in seclusion and usually would not care about sect matters.

But now, he had specially sent him a voice transmission to ask him to keep Yu Chen in the sect.

For the Grand Elder to speak like this, it could be seen how terrifying Yu Chen’s talent was.

Feng Changchun swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed his words. “Very well. However, since you have just returned to the sect, it will be difficult to convince the masses to let you take the assessment.”

“Let us do it this way, the mystic realm assessment will be one level higher than usual. Are you alright with that?”

One level of increase in difficulty?

Previously, Yu Chen only knew that if he wanted to become a Saint, he had to participate in the assessment.

But he didn’t know what the assessment was.

And now, the sect master was talking about the mystic realm and difficulty level.

Although he did not understand it too well, Yu Chen knew that this was the best outcome possible.

Yu Chen cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for fulfilling my request, Sect Master.”

The surrounding elders also looked at Yu Chen with strange expressions.

It had to be known that the mystic realm trial to become Saint was extremely difficult to pass.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t only be five Saints and Saintesses after so many years.

Adding another level of difficulty would make the already very difficult exam to be extremely difficult.

Putting Yu Chen aside, perhaps even none of the outer sect elders who were currently present could pass the mystic realm trial.

Even inner sect elders would fail miserably if they were not careful.

Ning Yan, who was standing behind Yu Chen, tugged at Yu Chen’s sleeve nervously and asked softly, “Aren’t you moving a little too fast?”

With Yu Chen’s talent, becoming Saint was a piece of cake.

If Yu Chen revealed his talent, he might even become the Immortal on the spot.

Therefore, why couldn’t Yu Chen be more patient and wait a few years while doing some missions and contribute to the sect before taking the assessment?

When the time came, wouldn’t becoming Saint be a sure thing?

However, if Yu Chen knew what Ning Yan was thinking, she would think that this girl was too naive.

As expected of a puppet king, she didn’t understand how a person’s talent could arouse the envy of others.

Although this was the Hunyuan Sect, who could guarantee one’s absolute safety?

After receiving the necklace from Ning Yan, Yu Chen had decided that he would only expose his Talent Tree only to those closest to him unless he had no other choice.

…

The mystic realm trials varied from person to person.

The Talent Tree was not controlled by humans. Therefore, different cultivators would undergo different assessments in different mystic realms.

Yu Chen stepped into the mystic realm and was teleported to a flat ground.

The entire sky was pitch-black without any starlights.

The platform stretched as far as the eye could see. Even Yu Chen’s ‘Psionic Perception’ could not detect the border.

Above the platform, three words formed by pure white spiritual power suddenly appeared.

[The First Round]

Swish! Swish!

Dozens of shadows suddenly appeared around Yu Chen.

These cultivators had empty eyes, but they all held long swords.

After appearing, they attacked Yu Chen without a word.

After counting carefully, a total of 36 cultivators attacked Yu Chen at the same time.

Yu Chen opened his palm and said calmly, “Primordial Chaos Art—Battle Spirit Technique!”

All his cultivation was transformed into spiritual power cultivation.

Then, Yu Chen raised his foot and focused some of his spiritual power on his foot. Then, he stomped hard.

Bang!

A shock wave spread out, striking the puppets around it like a hurricane.

That’s right, they were not real people, but puppets created by the mystic realm.

At the same time, the cultivation of these puppets was very low, only at the fifth level of the first realm.

The shockwave from Yu Chen’s explosion instantly overturned all the puppets.

Crackle.

The puppet’s body was deformed by the powerful pressure.

The difference in cultivation level and his terrifying spiritual power cultivation allowed Yu Chen to easily clear the level.

Yu Chen’s method of clearing the level was also seen by many elders.

“Although the difference in realms is huge, I… didn’t expect that it would be so easy for him.”

“It’s actually possible to use the Battle Spirit Technique like this?”

“No, his spiritual power cultivation is extremely powerful. Although he seems to be at the tenth level of the second realm, he is infinitely close to the third realm. He is even on par with a third realm cultivator.”

“This is also the reason why he was able to use a shockwave of the spiritual power to defeat 36 first realm level five puppets at the same time.”

“This is too horrifying. How did he light his Talent Tree?”

“Could it be that he has a high-grade combat-type talent?”

These elders might not have a very high cultivation, but they were knowledgeable and quickly determined that Yu Chen had a high-grade combat-type talent.

This speculation also excited everyone who was currently present.

Among the current Saints and Saintesses, only Saintess Xi Ling had a high-grade talent.

However, although she had a high-grade talent, it was a support talent. It did not increase her combat strength by much.

If Yu Chen had a high-grade combat talent, he could work together with Xi Ling.

…

Inside the mystic realm.

[The Second Round]

The first realm level puppet was easily defeated by Yu Chen. He successfully reached the second level.

In the first round, there were 36 first realm level five puppets.

In the second round, there were 18 first realm level ten puppets!

A tenth-level cultivator was ten times stronger than a fifth-level cultivator.

However, under Yu Chen’s Battle Spirit Technique, he still killed a few with a single kick and sent a group flying with a single punch.

[The Third Round]

In the third round, there were nine second realm level five puppets.

As he went through more rounds, the strength of the puppet increased greatly.

Faced with so many puppets, Yu Chen had no choice but to retreat.

Yu Chen moved quickly across the platform, dodging the puppets’ attacks.

“Primordial Chaos Art!”

After dodging another attack, Yu Chen took the opportunity to attack.

He turned his cultivation into physical cultivation and punched one of the puppets in the chest.

Bang!

There was a powerful whooshing sound.

The puppet was instantly sent flying and shattered into pieces in midair.

It could be seen how powerful Yu Chen’s punch was.

When Yu Chen’s strength cultivation was converted into spiritual power cultivation, only 30% of his ‘increased by a hundred times strength’ was used.

If he had used strength cultivation, Yu Chen could unleash 100% of its power.

Even if Yu Chen’s body was only an avatar and only had a tenth of his original strength, it was still ten times more powerful than a second realm level ten cultivator.

After defeating one puppet, the tide of the battle turned over.

Yu Chen dodged the attacks and attacked repeatedly.

After a while, all nine second realm level five puppets were defeated.
