Chapter 2024: Testing the Limits

"Brother Chen, you need to be mentally prepared; these tests may not sound extraordinary, but they are already the highest testing standards of the Profound Heaven Sect."

"Especially that Secret Realm…"

Li Jian immediately reminded Ye Liuyun.

But before he could finish, Mao Hongyin interrupted him.

"Fine! You also know that everyone encounters different situations in the Secret Realm, so don't mislead him!"

Li Jian, hearing that, said nothing further.

He only said to Ye Liuyun: "You must be very careful!"

Ye Liuyun nodded.

He didn't really care about these tests.

If even Li Jian could pass, he surely wouldn't have a problem.

Mao Hongyin's test was also very casual.

He took out a crystal sphere and let Ye Liuyun test his Bloodline Power first.

"Release your Bloodline Power toward this crystal sphere.

If it doesn't reach red, you don't need to try the rest; just become a service disciple directly!"

Mao Hongyin told Ye Liuyun.

"Bloodline Power has five levels, the first being yellow…"

Li Jian was about to explain to Ye Liuyun, but Mao Hongyin cut him off.

"If you keep talking, do you believe I will demote you to a service disciple as well?"

Li Jian, hearing that, swallowed his saliva and dared not speak again.

Ye Liuyun placed one hand on the crystal sphere and began to release his Bloodline Power bit by bit.

The crystal sphere also began to show a pale yellow.

Mao Hongyin, also experienced, upon seeing Ye Liuyun release his Bloodline Power gradually, told Ye Liuyun: "Your test results will all be recorded.

This affects where you can go in the future! The higher your score, the more freely you can choose a place."

Hearing that, Ye Liuyun thought of casually choosing a place; considering he wanted to go to Dan Hall, he feared that barely passing the line wouldn't suffice, so he immediately unleashed half of his Bloodline Power.

The sphere instantly changed color from yellow, gradually turned red, and then continued shifting toward purple.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun noticed Li Jian's expression showing some surprise, and stopped immediately.

"This Bloodline Power is still a bit weak for entering the inner gate!"

Mao Hongyin, noticing Ye Liuyun stopped again, immediately added: "The First Holy Son's Bloodline Power can even turn the entire crystal sphere black!"

Hearing that, Ye Liuyun no longer concealed, instantly released eighty percent of his Bloodline Power, and the sphere turned from purple to black.

Mao Hongyin suppressed his inner excitement, outwardly remaining expressionless.

He knew Ye Liuyun was watching his expression; as long as he showed a hint of surprise, Ye Liuyun would stop, not wanting to reveal too much strength.

He also understood this situation.

He has seen all kinds of disciples.

From Ye Liuyun's steady, courteous demeanor, he could tell Ye Liuyun wasn't flamboyant and guessed he would conceal his strength.

"If he could be a bit stronger, choosing a place in the future would be easier!"

He even pretended to look regretful, shaking his head.

Ye Liuyun immediately released another layer of Bloodline Power.

The sphere, after turning pitch black, then began to shift white, becoming a grayish hue.

"Almost turned white! If it turned white, the Master could also choose freely!"

Mao Hongyin promptly added.

"Fine then! Release everything!"

Thinking that, Ye Liuyun immediately unleashed all his Bloodline Power without reservation.

He has a method of circulating his bloodline to amplify his Bloodline Power.

Even now, using his full strength, it's not his entire combat power.

The sphere instantly changed from gray to white.

Ye Liuyun also withdrew his hand outright.

At this point, Li Jian couldn't help shouting: "Single hand!"

He had long been shocked by Ye Liuyun's Bloodline.

It was only now that he realized Ye Liuyun was releasing Bloodline Power with only one hand.

During the test, he used both hands, just reaching purple.

But that already surpassed most disciples!

Mao Hongyin, seeing Ye Liuyun withdraw his hand, also knew he was near his limit.

But it probably wasn't his entire Bloodline Power.

"Um.

What are you babbling about?

What's the difference between single hand and both hands!"

He gave a light hum, rebuked Li Jian, and lowered his head to record for Ye Liuyun.

In truth, he was masking his inner excitement.

The Profound Heaven Sect has existed for several hundred years; only five people, including Ye Liuyun, can turn the Bloodline test crystal sphere white.

After calming his emotions for a while, he pretended nothing happened and asked Ye Liuyun: "What is your name, and where are you from?"

"Disciple Chen Feng, a native of the eastern border city."

Ye Liuyun replied respectfully.

"Chen Feng, not bad, you passed the first stage."

"We will proceed to the second stage; come with me."

Mao Hongyin said, and led Ye Liuyun outward.

"We should go to the Gravity Formation to test the Physical Body!"

Li Jian said from the side.

Mao Hongyin gave him a cold stare and scolded with a laugh, "You stole all my lines; what did I say?"

"Stay here, otherwise you'll have to retest together!"

Li Jian, hearing that, stuck out his tongue and stopped immediately.

In fact, Mao Hongyin was doing it on purpose.

He didn't want to expose too much of Ye Liuyun's strength, and also to prevent Ye Liuyun from holding back during the test because Li Jian was present.

From the recent bloodline test, he already knew Ye Liuyun was extraordinary.

"No wonder that old relic held him in such high regard! He once said the disciple was unfit to be taught, but now it seems that old relic truly has self‑awareness."

"With Bloodline Power this strong, having him teach would be a waste!"

He thought this to himself.

He planned to raise the test difficulty to see where Ye Liuyun's limits lie.

In fact, the recent bloodline test alone was enough to admit him into the inner sect.

Even if the later tests are omitted, no one would object.

If some Elders learned that Ye Liuyun's bloodline test turned the crystal sphere white, they would all scramble to take him as a disciple.

Ye Liuyun also did not know his intention.

He simply thought the Profound Heaven Sect hid dragons and crouching tigers.

His Bloodline Power had not met any opponent outside, but perhaps the Profound Heaven Sect has elite disciples with strong bloodlines.

He immediately used the Slave Seal to inform Li Jian, telling him not to let Chen Feng's test results be leaked.

The second‑stage test takes place in a dedicated room.

Mao Hongyin had Ye Liuyun remove his armor and protective garment before entering the room.

Inside, there is no Formation barrier; the two can see each other with Divine Sense.

"The gravity inside the room will keep increasing until it pins you to the ground."

"If you can't hold on and collapse to the floor, the test ends."

Mao Hongyin told Ye Liuyun.

"To what extent counts as passing the test?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"I'll tell you then; just endure as much as you can!"

Mao Hongyin said to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, helpless, could only wait inside the room.

He had previously experienced the Gravity Formation, so when Mao Hongyin manipulated it to increase and decrease gravity, he adapted easily.

"Consider it a review of gravity body refinement."

"It's actually a cultivation opportunity!"

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun sat down directly, closed his eyes as if to cultivate, and waited for the test to begin.
