Chapter 3743: Chapter 3743: Making a Fool of Oneself? (First Update)

...

Located tens of thousands of miles away from Deceit City, there stands a gigantic city hidden in the shadows, akin to a lion lurking in the dark. Compared to Deceit City, it clearly stands a few levels higher!

This is Xianying City, the largest city within a thousand miles!

Although it is not yet a top-tier city in the Dark Domain, its status is certainly not low!

Today, Xianying City is exceptionally lively, with golden bolts of lightning streaking through the skies from all directions, rushing towards the city!

The streets are bustling with people, several times more prosperous than usual. Vendors and shop owners are like festive occasions, vigorously doing business, taking out their best wares!

They are expecting to make a significant profit from this opportunity!

What opportunity?

Today marks the ten-yearly Cloud Clearing Master Assessment in the Dark Domain!

And Xianying City, as the most advanced city within a thousand miles, is chosen as one of the assessment points!

Dark Domain Warriors from all over within a thousand miles have gathered here to obtain the Cloud Clearing Master license!

The Cloud Clearing Master license is divided into four levels: Beginner Level Cloud-pushing Master, Intermediate Cloud Piercer, Advanced Cloud Clearing Master, and Grandmaster!

The assessment criteria is the cloud clearing success rate!

In other words, it’s the probability of accurately determining the opponent’s level of cultivation using the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques!

To pass the Beginner Level Cloud-pushing Master assessment, a success rate of more than thirty percent is required. Don’t underestimate this qualification; although it’s just the threshold to become a Cloud Clearing Master, once you get the Beginner Level license, you can live a decent life in the Dark Domain!

Even if one’s strength is not formidable, at least they won’t have to resort to slaughtering pigs to make a living, like the two people Ye Chen encountered at the beginning!

Moreover, passing the Cloud Clearing Master assessment, even if it’s the basic one, is definitely not a simple task!

Every year in the Dark Domain, each assessment point sees martial artists numbering over ten million!

And only fewer than ten thousand successfully pass the Cloud Clearing Master assessment!

That is a probability of one in a thousand!

The majority, ninety-nine percent, are still Beginner Level Cloud-pushing Masters!

As for Intermediate Cloud Piercers, they require a success rate of over fifty percent. Although it seems only slightly higher by two levels, those two levels mean that not everyone can pass anymore!

Beginner Level Cloud-pushing Master doesn’t demand high talent, perhaps requiring roughly one in a thousand qualifications, combined with a hundred years of diligent cultivation training, to have the opportunity to pass. Unless one is overly mediocre, even if they don’t pass once, they can eventually succeed by trying multiple times!

But for Intermediate Cloud Piercer, it’s not the same!

Those who become Intermediate Cloud Piercers are exceptionally gifted individuals!

This isn’t as simple as one in a thousand!

Advanced Cloud Clearing Master requires a cloud clearing success rate of over seventy percent, which essentially represents the peak level of Cloud Clearing Masters in the Dark Domain!

This level requires extremely powerful talent, unrivaled dedication to cultivation, and some luck to reach!

Finally, the Grandmaster, it’s completely a legendary existence...

Becoming a Grandmaster requires a success rate of over ninety percent!

This, nearly impossible to attain!

To become a Grandmaster, mere talent in the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques isn’t enough; extraordinarily terrifying Martial Arts Talent is also needed!

In the vast Dark Domain, the number of Grandmasters doesn’t exceed a hundred!

Don’t underestimate these hundred people, compared to the total number of Dark Domain Warriors, they’re an extremely tiny fraction!

Although the Dark Domain is a lawless place, isolated from the outside world, those escaping into it are often those who are destitute or utterly ruthless...

Such people certainly aren’t many, but don’t forget, the Dark Domain has been around for countless ages!

Those who remain in the Dark Domain basically won’t return to live in the Bright Territory, so they can only live and flourish in the Dark Domain. Over the years, the Dark Domain has become its own realm, with a large population!

And among these many warriors, only a small portion!

It’s imaginable how challenging it is to become a Grandmaster!

At this moment, two streaks of golden bolts of lightning descend from the horizon, converging at Xianying City’s gates, revealing the forms of two men.

One is tall and valiant, dressed in a golden robe, while the other wears a black long robe, with an extremely indifferent expression.

It is Xu Shenglong and Ye Chen!

As soon as the two enter Xianying City, they head toward the center of the city, where a giant palace stands, which is Xianying City’s Cloud Clearing Hall.

This is also the venue for the current assessment.

Xu Shenglong’s face is filled with excitement; he never imagined Brother Ye would truly master the tremendously difficult Cloud Clearing Three Techniques!

Xu Shenglong asked Ye Chen: "Brother Ye, you should be able to directly pass the Intermediate Cloud Piercer assessment this time, right? Haha, I believe the record for the fastest to become an Intermediate Cloud Piercer in Dark Domain history will be refreshed today!"

He knows that Brother Ye has already mastered everything Elder Hong’s group learned in Deceit City!

Even when Elder Hong’s group felt unconvinced, they conducted a skill competition on the seventh day with Brother Ye!

No matter which skill, Brother Ye stood on par with the Three Elders!

These three elders are Intermediate Cloud Piercers, and they’re just a step away from becoming Advanced Cloud Clearing Masters!

Since Brother Ye is evenly matched with the three, passing the Intermediate Cloud Piercer assessment is already a certainty!

Ye Chen smiled and said: "I’m not planning to obtain the Intermediate Cloud Piercer license; Intermediate Cloud Piercer is still too ordinary. I want to go directly for the Advanced Cloud Clearing Master license to ensure our next step proceeds smoothly."

Xu Shenglong was shocked upon hearing this!

Advanced Cloud Clearing Master, that’s already close to standing at the peak of Cloud Clearing Masters in the entire Dark Domain!

How long has Brother Ye been practicing the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques?

He intends to obtain the Advanced Cloud Clearing Master license directly?

This sounds absurd, but since Ye Chen said it, Xu Shenglong is willing to believe he can achieve it!

He immediately looked towards Ye Chen with immense excitement!

He increasingly feels that the best decision he ever made was following Brother Ye!

However, Xu Shenglong is somewhat skeptical, wondering how Brother Ye can pass this advanced assessment? After all, the lifelong studies of the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques by the Cloud Clearing Hall’s Three Elders, even if already mastered by Brother Ye, have only a six-tenths success rate!

But at this moment, a cold laugh sounded from behind them, and someone spoke: "Quite bold, aren’t you? Intermediate Cloud Piercer license is ordinary? Do you know how many Intermediate Cloud Piercers there are in the entire Dark Domain?

Do you know many people spend their entire lives unable to obtain this license?

And here you say it’s ordinary? Intending to obtain the Advanced Cloud Clearing Master license? Ha, are you treating the advanced license like some trash you find everywhere? Is it something anyone can just take? Boy, I advise you to abandon your illusions to avoid embarrassment in the assessment hall!"
