The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 986: Chapter 986 What Idea?

They were already quite familiar with Elder Yongming.

What could have happened suddenly, without any reason, to make Elder Yongming show such an astonished expression? Moreover, what had truly puzzled them was what kind of incident it could be that amazed Elder Yongming so much.

Someone asked about it, but Yongming seemed not to hear and didn’t react at all.

At this moment, Yongming’s attention was already focused within the spatial realm where Jing Yan was located.

It’s too strange.

The only thought in Yongming’s mind was that it was bizarre. Inside this spatial realm, the Law Affinity test score of the Martial Artist had already exceeded thirty thousand. If it were merely thirty thousand, it certainly wouldn’t make Yongming have these thoughts, as the first-ranked Jin Guang was hovering around fifty thousand.

Thirty thousand to fifty thousand, that’s quite a far distance.

The problem was, previously, Yongming had checked the Martial Artists ranking in the top few thousand and hadn’t seen Jing Yan. Yet shortly afterward, Jing Yan suddenly surged to the top dozen ranks. Not only that, his score continued to rise, and at this rate, he seemed likely to push Kuang Tianqi, who originally ranked tenth, down.

Kuang Tianqi’s score fluctuated between thirty-two and thirty-three thousand.

Testing Law Affinity doesn’t mean the score will simply increase with more time.

Generally, when Martial Artists spread their Divine Soul and contact the Power of Laws, the score immediately becomes evident.

For instance, Jin Guang, who is ranked first, had more than fifty thousand points from the start of the test and still has more than fifty thousand points now. As a result, the entire testing process for Law Affinity only takes about the time of one or two cups of tea, not exceeding thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes is roughly the time of two cups of tea.

”How did this kid suddenly appear?”

”Could it be that initially, he was resisting the Power of Laws?” Yongming was indeed very astonished.

”If he really was resisting the Power of Laws at the beginning, what is he trying to do? Isn’t he afraid of being transmitted away from Luo Jiu Divine Palace and losing his qualification for selection from the very start?” Yongming pondered secretly.

”Jing Yan... a native who has ascended from a Low-class World? Tsk tsk, this little fellow is quite fierce!”

”Thirty-one thousand, thirty-two thousand, thirty-three thousand...”

”He’s in the tenth rank, Kuang Tianqi has been pushed out of the top ten. His score continues to climb.” Even a strong figure like Yongming couldn’t help but be in awe at this moment.

”Elder Yongming?” The few people standing nearby him were increasingly puzzled.

Yongming seemed to have returned to his senses by now.

”Haha, sorry, I got a bit lost seeing an interesting situation,” Yongming said awkwardly, with a smile.

”Elder Yongming, what interesting situation did you see?” A blue-haired elder immediately asked with a smile.

”There’s a little guy named Jing Yan, you don’t know him, right?” Yongming squinted at the others.

The others glanced at each other again.

Jing Yan?

This name was indeed unfamiliar. They had no impression of it whatsoever, which likely meant it wasn’t a genius on the Divine Flower List. Were he on the Divine Flower List, even without paying particular attention, they should have some impression. With their cultivation level, having an eidetic memory was nothing but child’s play. If they had seen it once, they couldn’t completely forget.

”Haha, of course you wouldn’t know, this little fellow ascended from the Low-class World.” Yongming spoke again before others could say anything.

”Elder Yongming, come on, tell us what’s interesting!” one person urged.

”Hmm, this Jing Yan, at the beginning, his test score was not high, and I didn’t pay attention to him. But now, he’s already tenth, and his score has reached thirty-four thousand.” Yongming smiled and said.

Suddenly, his gaze focused, and he continued, ”There’s another change, not thirty-four thousand points, but forty thousand, ranking sixth.”

”This...” The other people all showed expressions of astonishment.

”Elder Yongming, you’re saying this little fellow named Jing Yan initially had a low score, and it went up slowly?” The blue-haired elder asked in surprise.

”Exactly so.” Yongming nodded.

”So, at first, he deliberately did not contact the Power of Laws?”

”Certainly interesting!”

”What is this little fellow thinking?”

”Regardless, having a Law Affinity reaching forty thousand, this is definitely top-tier genius. Even if his strength is not high right now, by training at our Luo Jiu Divine Palace for a while, he can easily catch up.”

”That’s right, Elder Yongming, you must pay attention. Should this little fellow fail in the latter elimination stages, you must not let him get away. In any case, he must be brought into our Luo Jiu Divine Palace.” The blue-haired elder said solemnly.

Law Affinity can reach forty thousand; this talent is terrifying.

It might be because he’s a native, so his current realm isn’t likely to be very high, perhaps just at the One-star Void God Level or might not have even risen to Void God. But this matters not, Luo Jiu Divine Palace doesn’t care whether he is currently at the Saint Realm or One-star Void God; what matters is the future potential. With this level of talent, it won’t take long—hundreds or at most thousands of years to ascend to Intermediate Void God, easily entering the Divine Flower List.

Intermediate Void God encompasses these three levels: Four Star, Five Star, and Six Star Void God.

Jing Yan continued to expand the sensing scope of his Divine Soul.

He didn’t dare to fully release his Divine Soul all at once, only cautiously probing, so his score didn’t skyrocket instantly but rose gradually.

Suddenly, a wave descended upon them.

The Power of Laws within the spatial realm abruptly vanished without a trace.

Simultaneously, within the Mystic Temple of the World, the number of Martial Artists participating in the selection test stabilized at one hundred and two thousand four hundred.

When the number of Martial Artists taking the test was reduced to only one hundred and two thousand four hundred, the stage of Law Affinity testing came to an end.

Of over one million warriors participating in the selection, only slightly over one hundred thousand remained. These individuals passed the Law Affinity assessment and smoothly moved into the second stage, which is the elimination stage.

Jing Yan felt a change in the scenery before him; he had already left the spatial realm. He arrived at a vast square.

At first glance, Jing Yan saw his surroundings filled with many Martial Artists. He knew these Martial Artists should, like him, be participants in the selection test who passed the Law Affinity evaluation. At second glance, he noticed a few figures floating on a high platform above, among whom was the current selection test host, Supreme Elder Yongming.

Supreme Elder Yongming’s gaze instantly fell on Jing Yan. Although there were more than ten thousand Martial Artists on the square, Yongming had already been paying attention to Jing Yan, so finding him among these ten thousand was no difficult task. His Divine Thought could easily cover each person.

”If it weren’t for time constraints, how high could this little fellow’s score soar? Fifty thousand? Or exceed Jin Guang’s fifty-five thousand?” Yongming thought to himself.
