At the beginning, Brother Hu supported Su Tu's cultivation to gain martial fortune,

but his purpose for entering Douluo Palace was to help Elder Zhou prolong his life.

Now that Elder Zhou's life is no longer in danger, Brother Hu doesn't care about entering the relic; by the way, Brother Hu has been busier than ever recently.

Initially, he was busy with official business.

But now, after some Dao lineages detected changes within the Other Shore, they began contacting the Heaven-Reaching Dao lineage, some with goodwill and others with malice, and since the master is in seclusion and unavailable, Brother Hu had to handle it alone.

Although the traces of the Dao lineage have surfaced in the Other Shore, becoming a recognized Dao lineage still requires the Federation's certification; it was assumed that things might be difficult.

However, for some unknown reason, this time the approval was exceptionally swift; Brother Hu's application was approved almost immediately.

Now, the Heaven-Reaching Dao lineage is in disarray, but plans must await Elder Zhou's emergence from seclusion.

After some casual conversation, the three left the Martial Pavilion together.

They casually found a small shop for a quick meal, agreed to head to Hangu Pass together later, and then went their separate ways.

Books give length to days of idleness, without books, days are short.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The trio, including Su Tu, headed toward Hangu Pass; as they approached, they noticed the presence of strong auras around them.

These were the martial artists protecting Hangu Pass.

Upon their arrival, martial artists quickly greeted them and led them swiftly to their destination.

A messy bird's nest of hair appeared before the trio, and upon seeing Su Tu, the person's eyes lit up.

Stumbling forward, he examined Su Tu from head to toe as if looking at a rare creature.

Su Tu didn't like the look in his eyes, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"Sorry!! Sorry!! I meant no harm, just excited to see a young prodigy."

The bird's nest person realized his misstep, scratched his head, and apologized to Su Tu.

With hair flakes flying everywhere, the trio involuntarily took a step back, their eyes revealing open disdain.

"Please wait a moment, there are other students currently undergoing testing, but I suspect none of them will succeed; their special energy frequencies aren't high enough, or as you usually say, their martial fortune isn't abundant."

"In my view, only Su Tu..."

The bird's nest person rambled on, but his assistant interrupted him.

"Scholar Wang Xiaoming, the fluctuation machine still requires your personal supervision."

"Oh~" Wang Xiaoming pouted, reluctantly leaving.

The assistant awkwardly smiled at the trio: "Apologies, Professor Wang Xiaoming isn't good with people, his words can be a bit intense at times."

The trio nodded in understanding.

Truth be told, Su Tu felt an affinity for these research fanatics; such obsessed individuals were often more straightforward.

But only if... Wang Xiaoming could be a bit cleaner.

At this moment, the trio saw a semi-transparent vortex surrounded by numerous large machines, and within the vortex, a dazzling scene appeared.

"Wow, is this Douluo Palace? It's magnificent!"

Feng couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, truly magnificent. The immortals of the human race have always been so mysterious. To foreign races, humans seem godless, but these miracles tell us that the gods and immortals once lived among us."

Mu Wuyang also spoke with deep admiration.

Su Tu remained silent, his eyes fixed on the scenes within the vortex, which looked almost identical to what he had seen behind the martial fortune Golden Gate.

Previously, just a damaged pill had greatly enhanced Su Tu's physical body; if he could enter Douluo Palace and find a complete pill,

it would be an unimaginable opportunity.

Just then, a young student appeared before the vortex; Su Tu had some impression of him, as his strength was considerable, ranking in the top ten overall.

Then, the student walked toward the vortex and... passed through it, arriving on the other side...

The vortex, reflecting the Immortal Palace, seemed like an illusory shadow, untouchable.

"Next!!!"

Wang Xiaoming's voice carried a somewhat shrill tone as he called out loudly.

The following student experienced the same phenomenon, passing straight through without touching anything.

Seeing this, Su Tu and the others widened their eyes; this Douluo Palace relic was indeed peculiar.

Then, Wang Xiaoming called Feng and Mu Wuyang's names; they queued up and walked over, but as expected, they couldn't touch it, couldn't make contact.

"No! No! No! I told you, their energy isn't sufficient!!"

"I don't understand why we're doing such a wasteful thing!!"

Wang Xiaoming yelled as if he had gone mad, then suddenly turned his gaze to Su Tu.

"Su Tu!! You're next!!"

"Everyone, monitor the fluctuation frequency carefully. If he can't do it, then we must tell the Federation that this Douluo Palace relic is worthless!!"

Su Tu, hearing his name, walked over.

He made his way through the machines to the other side of the vortex.

Then, he directly approached the vortex.

Everyone held their breath, watching as Su Tu placed his hands on the vortex.

And then...

His hands passed through the vortex.

"Impossible..."

"How could he not succeed? The top scorer, Ancestral Star Human Race, his fluctuations are the sum of everyone else's, yet he can't enter Douluo Palace; it can only mean this relic cannot be opened..."

Wang Xiaoming sat dejectedly in his chair, staring at the data on the instrument before him, eyes filled with despondency.

Though martial fortune cannot be felt directly, his invention can capture a special wave, and through a formula, calculate the thickness of martial fortune.

Looking through the instrument, Su Tu's wave was greater than that of other students, even more than the semi-finished experimental subject they secretly monitored earlier.

If even Su Tu cannot enter the relic, then all their efforts on Ancestral Star would have been in vain...

"It can't be... he must be able to... he should be able to..."

Wang Xiaoming kept muttering as he watched Su Tu's silhouette.

Su Tu was unaware of Wang Xiaoming's disappointment and didn't pay it any mind.

Because at that moment, a serene, indifferent voice seemed to echo across eternity, whispering in his ear.

"Yin and yang return to order, the Dao is one, the time has come, today I grant you the Dao name as my disciple, all heavens be still and listen!"
