Chapter 2376: Four Stages

"Newcomer?"

"As soon as Ye Liuyun entered the Grand Hall, a servant girl came up and chatted with him."

"Yeah!"

"Ye Liuyun also returned her salute and greeted her."

"I'll give you give you introduce the situation here, the Pure Essence Brew here is supplied free and without limit, and there are also some ninth-tier medicinal pills, which you can also take for free."

"However, you can only consume it here; you cannot take it away."

"We also provide various foods and drinks here, just like the restaurants outside."

"It lets the members occasionally change their cravings."

"But then those would be charged."

"Pure Essence Brew and the medicinal pills are all free, and unlimited?"

"Ye Liuyun was somewhat surprised."

"That's right!"

"The servant girl smiled, as if she were already used to newcomers' discomfort."

"Then give me one as well, I'll try it first!"

"Ye Liuyun said immediately."

"Good!"

"The servant girl turned around to prepare it for Ye Liuyun."

"Ye Liuyun was about to find an empty seat to sit down, but a few people who were chatting called him over to sit."

"In the future we might meet during training; come over and chat!"

"One person greeted Ye Liuyun."

"Good! I just arrived, I don't know the training content yet!"

"Ye Liuyun also sat down with them."

"My name is Black Shadow, what should I call you?"

"In training there are team battles, and team members often get swapped, so we might end up working together later!"

"Someone explained to Ye Liuyun."

"Liúyun!"

"Ye Liuyun returned the fist salute."

"The others also introduced their names, then chatted with Ye Liuyun about the training content."

"The training is divided into four stages."

"They will first test you to understand your abilities in all aspects, then they will create a specialized training plan based on your strengths and weaknesses."

"Next, there is a period to improve your weaknesses, with dedicated guidance."

"During this period, they will also find a solitary opponent for you to spar with, based on your strength."

"Once you reach a certain standard, you will enter the group combat training."

"Five people per team, they fight each other."

"They will also go on missions together."

"Once your strength increases further, you will enter a journey of death."

"To compete with some strong ones for the chance to survive."

"However, this stage is voluntary."

"Because the probability of being killed is high, it is relatively dangerous."

"But we haven't reached that stage yet, so we don't know much about its details."

"Sounds good!"

"Ye Liuyun said."

"Aside from the first stage being safe, the other stages could also cost your life!"

"Yeah! The training sounds good, but even solo sparring is dangerous."

"Sometimes your opponent could be a puppet or a ferocious beast."

"They won't hold back."

"One out of ten people dies in this stage."

"Group battles are the same; both sides must give their all, and accidental killings happen often."

"As assassins, our moves are killing blows with no mercy; a moment's carelessness and you die pointlessly!"

"These people were quite enthusiastic, explaining everything to Ye Liuyun all at once."

"They are all in the group training stage, so they know each other well, unlike those Black Kill members outside who don't understand each other and are unwilling to communicate much."

"At that moment, the servant girl brought over what Ye Liuyun had requested."

"A jug of Pure Essence Brew, and one pill each of soul-refining, body-refining, and realm‑advancing medicinals."

"Won't you join?"

"Ye Liuyun asked them, feeling a bit embarrassed to be the only one eating and drinking."

"They didn't mind: \"Go ahead and eat! We've had our fill and no longer feel anything for these things. \""

"During training, you will receive better resources as a reward."

"When we first started, we were just like you, consuming these freebies, only later learning there were better resources."

"Oh!"

"Ye Liuyun stopped being polite and immediately started eating."

He and his clone, two people sharing one set of resources, naturally consume more resources, so eating a bit more doesn't affect them.

Moreover, whether it's Pure Essence Brew or the pills here, they're both good, and the refining techniques are very advanced.

He thinks that as long as it benefits his own improvement, he won't refuse.

Ye Liuyun chatted with them for a while, then went back to cultivate for a bit, switched to his clone, went to the Grand Hall, and took another portion of the Pure Essence Brew and pills.

"You still take the pills?"

The maid also found it odd; Ye Liuyun had just eaten a portion of pills not long ago, why eat again?

Ordinary people who keep taking pills not only see the effect worsen, but also generate some residue inside the body.

The clone couldn't explain, and only gave an awkward smile.

Yet the maid, though surprised, still gave them to Ye Liuyun, watching him swallow all those pills again, then sitting aside to drink Pure Essence Brew.

"Admire!"

The maid stuck out her tongue, merely thinking his constitution was special.

Early the next morning, Wu Hen personally came to find Ye Liuyun.

"Today I'll take you to do tests, understand your abilities in all aspects, so our training can be more targeted."

Ye Liuyun followed Wu Hen into a special Grand Hall.

Inside there were many Black‑clothed Persons, all dressed in the same attire as Wu Hen.

The first test was Bloodline.

Because Ye Liuyun wasn't using his real name and wasn't afraid of being discovered, he held nothing back in this test, fully forcing his Bloodline Power, turning the Crystal Stone used for the Bloodline test black.

"Celestial Being Second Tier, medium!"

A Black‑clothed Person in charge of testing recorded the results.

It was Ye Liuyun's first time hearing such a rating.

According to his thoughts

but the others showed no particular surprise.

It seemed these people were already accustomed to it.

"It looks like members who can train here are not simple!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

Next came the test of Divine Soul Power.

"Celestial Being Second Tier, medium!"

Hearing that, Ye Liuyun finally understood the level of his Divine Soul Power.

Then they tested his realm.

Ye Liuyun received a Ninth Layer Late Stage, superior rating.

Afterwards they tested his Heaven and Earth Power, and he got a Celestial Being First Tier, superior rating.

The final test was Physical Body, and Ye Liuyun also received a First Tier, superior rating.

These five tests each used a different Crystal Stone, producing the results.

Ye Liuyun also asked Wu Hen how these test Crystal Stones were obtained.

Wu Hen only told him, "They're all forged by our artificer.

But the forging method is kept secret by Black Kill and won't be disclosed outside."

Ye Liuyun could only covet them with his eyes.

If he could have these, he could let others test as well, so his people would also know their shortcomings.

Although they can now evaluate, it's only approximate and certainly not as accurate as the test results.

The next step is testing special powers.

For his Spatial Power test, merely trying to move objects, Ye Liuyun received a Celestial Being Second Tier, lower rating.
