“Is this… Is this the perfection of Star Shattering Slash, the black-level lower-rank martial art?”

Su Chen closed his eyes slightly, carefully feeling the mysterious cultivation insight that came flooding into his mind out of thin air.

Wasn’t this Star Shattering Slash the black-level lower-rank martial art that Lu Zhen had just comprehended from the mysterious stone tablet?

Now, he directly learned it and cultivated it to perfection.

This cultivation insight was so precious, and he felt as if he had cultivated it himself, from the introductory level to grand attainment, and then to perfection.

At this moment, Su Chen was able to perform the near-perfect Star Shattering Slash.

Although Lu Zhen comprehended this martial art from the mysterious stone tablet, he still needed to slowly explore and cultivate it.

If Lu Zhen was a person of great sensitivity, he might only be able to cultivate Star Shattering Slash to grand attainment in a year. If he was not that lucky, he might not be able to cultivate it to grand attainment in three to five years.

“I see. With the perfection of Star Shattering Slash, I can now seckill Lu Zhen!”

Su Chen immediately understood and thought to himself.

It wasn’t a defeat, nor was it a narrow victory, but an instant kill!

Seckill Lu Zhen with the absolute strength that he couldn’t resist at all!

One had to know that Lu Zhen was originally a prodigy, an absolute prodigy!

He had just broken through to the Qi Sea Realm, but Su Chen could seckill him with the perfection-level Star Shattering Slash.

From this, one could see how terrifying the power of Star Shattering Slash was.

The insight in his mind made Su Chen very clear about the power of Star Shattering Slash.

If he performed it, Lu Zhen, who had just broken through to the Qi Sea Realm, would not be able to resist at all. He would be able to kill Lu Zhen instantly!

However, this move also had its drawbacks for Su Chen.

After all, he was only a Level Nine Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, and the Star Shattering Slash was a real black-level martial art that only Qi Sea Realm cultivators could barely use.

Even though he had already entered the Forbidden Stage, if he forcefully practiced this move, more than half of the spiritual energy in his body would be instantly exhausted.

Once he performed Star Shattering Slash, there would be very little spiritual power left in his body. It was not suitable for him to continue fighting. He needed a certain amount of time to recover the spiritual power in his body.

Generally speaking, a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator would only cultivate the yellow-level middle and lower-rank martial arts.

Only cultivators with great talent would choose to cultivate the yellow-level upper-rank martial arts.

Only when reaching the Qi Sea Realm one would start to cultivate the black-level martial arts, but that did not mean that a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator could not cultivate the black-level martial arts.

Firstly, the black-level martial arts were extremely precious in the sect, and the outer sect disciples had no chance to come into contact with them at all.

Secondly, the difficulty of cultivating black-level martial arts was extremely high. It would waste a large amount of time and delay the cultivation instead. The gains would not make up for the losses.

Even if they were gifted and successfully cultivated the black-level martial arts in the Qi Gathering Realm, the spiritual energy in their bodies could not support them to perform the black-level martial arts.

Therefore, very few cultivators would cultivate those martial arts that were not compatible with their cultivation.

Unless they were extremely talented.

The reason why Su Chen was able to perform Star Shattering Slash with a little bit of strength left was that he had entered the Forbidden Stage and had a unique advantage.

If it was Liu Yang, he probably wouldn’t be able to do that.

Even if he performed it forcefully, he wouldn’t be able to unleash its power. Instead, he would completely lose his fighting power and be at the mercy of others.

“Challenges completed. You are rated extraordinary in the tests! Lu Zhen is promoted to an inner disciple!”

The voice of the monitoring elder resounded throughout the entire arena.

Hearing this, Lu Zhen walked out of the formation with a confident smile on his face.

Many outer sect disciples broke into cheers and praised him.

Lu Zhen gestured to a few disciples whom he was familiar with.

He felt very comfortable listening to those praises.

However, he soon heard some discordant voices, as if someone was not surprised by his results.

Lu Zhen frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw Cao Yun and He Jing argue with his supporters along with a large group of junior brothers and sisters.

The smile on Lu Zhen’s face faded for the first time.

With his hearing, he could naturally hear what they were arguing about.

Cao Yun, He Jing, and the others actually thought that Su Chen was stronger than him?

They even said that with Su Chen’s current strength, Su Chen could seckill him.

Were they joking?

It was really ridiculous!

A Level Nine Qi Gathering Realm cultivator could seckill a Qi Sea Realm cultivator like him?

Who would believe this?

He once heard that some Level Nine Qi Gathering Realm geniuses were able to fight across the realm against Qi Sea Realm cultivators.

However, he had never heard of a Level Nine Qi Gathering Realm cultivator being able to seckill a Qi Sea Realm cultivator.

Throughout the history of the Eastern Barrens, no one had ever been able to do this. Not even the elites who had stepped into the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm could do this!

Moreover, he was a genius, and after breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm, he was much stronger than others in the same realm.

“What’s the point of being reckless? When your Senior Brother Su Chen begins his trial, you will naturally understand the gap between us,” Lu Zhen thought to himself.

He was extremely displeased when he saw a large group of junior brothers and sisters speaking up for Su Chen.

Those loyal supporters should succumb to him alone!

He enjoyed the respect and support of others.

As the current number one person in the outer sect, such loyal protection and heartfelt praise should only belong to him!

“Nowadays, the outer sect disciples are really…”

Elder Wang looked at the intense debate and could not help but shake his head slightly.

Originally, he did not care about the quarrels among the outer sect disciples.

But once he recalled the way they bragged about Su Chen stepping into the Forbidden Stage, he couldn’t help observing them in secret.

However, their absurd brags were out of his expectations. They even dared to say something impossible that Su Chen could seckill Lu Zhen.

Su Chen would not be able to seckill Lu Zhen even before Lu Zhen broke through to the Qi Sea Realm!

Not to mention that Lu Zhen was now a Qi Sea Realm cultivator.

Moreover, Lu Zhen was a disciple that Elder Wang valued. This outer sect trial also fully demonstrated his talent and strength.

Even Liu Yang was far inferior to Lu Zhen.

These outer sect disciples looked down on Lu Zhen so much, which made Elder Wang feel a little dissatisfied.

“Is Su Chen really that charming? Why are you protecting him so much just to save face…”

Elder Wang could not help but sigh as he watched the increasingly intense quarrel.

For the first time, he was disappointed with these outer sect disciples who bragged trying to save face.

Elder Xie was also speechless, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

The brags of these outer sect disciples were based on evidence earlier.

But now, it was getting more and more ridiculous and unrealistic!

He knew that Su Chen had already entered the Forbidden Stage, but it was impossible for him to kill Lu Zhen in an instant!

After all.

Lu Zhen was highly talented, and he had successfully broken through to the Qi Sea Realm.

No matter how amazing Su Chen was, it was impossible for him to seckill Lu Zhen!
