"This measures your affinity with the Great Dao, giving a rough idea of the speed you'll comprehend the Great Dao after reaching the Divine Infant Realm and what attributes of auxiliary cultivation techniques are suitable for you."

"Of course, Great Dao comprehension still depends on the individual; it's just a rough assessment."

Chen Jingxuan explained.

Jiang Chen blinked, glanced at Qiu Ying's group, and then placed his hand on the sphere.

Qiu Ying and the others all looked at the sphere.

Wow!

A faint golden light appeared inside the sphere.

"Ha! So arrogant, I thought his talent was exceptional! Turns out it's just a low-level affinity, such a waste of Soul Martial techniques!"

Tang Zhenglin scoffed, turning to the group of youths at the door: "Stop dawdling, don't waste time. Get in here and get tested!"

"Yes!"

The youths at the door hurried into the hall, Li Lu and others asked about their age and realm, guiding them to different tables.

"Did you sense it with all your power?"

Chen Jingxuan frowned, looking at Jiang Chen.

"Hmm? Isn't it enough to detect the attribute? Great Dao comprehension relies on personal insight; I don't think it relates to Great Dao affinity."

Jiang Chen frowned, took his hand off the sphere, and spoke softly.

"Haha, how you find excuses for your lousy talent! Training in Soul Martial techniques, yet reaching only Semi Divine Infant Realm at twenty-seven. This proves your talent is abysmal, and you're still trying to cover it up. It's laughable!"

Tang Zhenglin sneered at Jiang Chen and then looked at Chen Jingxuan: "Brother Chen, such talent doesn't qualify to join our Heavenly Sword Sect."

Chen Jingxuan glanced at Tang Zhenglin, then looked at Jiang Chen: "Indeed, Soul Martial techniques, twenty-seven years old, Semi Divine Infant Realm, low-level Great Dao affinity—such talent is indeed not enough to join the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"I see!"

Jiang Chen mumbled indifferently and placed his hand back on the sphere.

"Haha, still not giving up? Just leave already!"

Tang Zhenglin laughed coldly.

Wow!

A dazzling golden light shone from the transparent sphere under Jiang Chen's hand, turning the entire hall golden, blinding everyone inside.

"What?"

"Impossible!?"

This, this is top-tier affinity!"

Qiu Ying and others exclaimed in disbelief.

"Is this enough?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the sphere and spoke softly.

A small golden sword appeared inside the sphere.

"Enough, more than enough!"

Chen Jingxuan's eyes sparkled as he nodded heavily.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen withdrew his hand.

Lin Yuyan, who stood behind Jiang Chen, looked at Jiang Chen curiously. Why didn't he mention that he comprehended the Ways of Water and Fire?

Lin Yuyan, having lived in a village for years, didn't know what reaching the Great Dao at the Semi Divine Infant Realm meant, nor did she know the significance of comprehending both water and fire, two completely opposing Great Daos. She only felt Jiang Chen was hiding this.

"Wait a moment, I'll take you to your accommodations while you wait for the battle assessment."

Chen Jingxuan recorded in his notebook while advising Jiang Chen.

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen nodded, stepping sideways to the table and addressing Lin Yuyan: "Yu Yan, your turn to try."

"Alright!"

Lin Yuyan nodded, apprehensively approaching the table.

"Name, age, cultivation realm."

"Lin Yuyan, seventeen, Early Unification Realm."

"Bone measurement."

"Place your hand."

With repetitive interrogation and explanation, she reached the last step.

Lin Yuyan bit her lip and placed her hand on the sphere, tightly closing her eyes.

Wow!

A bright blue light shot out from the sphere.

"What? She, she... "

"High Grade Ultimate Path!"

"She has a high-level affinity with the Dao of Wind!"

Qiu Ying and others exclaimed again.

The Extreme Path is the hardest Great Dao to comprehend in heaven and earth, and high-level affinity with the Extreme Path is rare even in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Can she pass?"

Jiang Chen asked softly.

Lin Yuyan quickly opened her eyes at Chen Jingxuan's words.

"Of course!"

Chen Jingxuan nodded heavily, looking at Lin Yuyan with eyes full of surprise.

Sigh!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Jingxuan said joyfully: "I didn't expect both of you to have such high talent. If it weren't for sect rules, I'd apply directly to my master to let you join the sect! However, given your talents, even if you can't pass the practical test, there's no issue entering the sect."

"I see."

Jiang Chen blinked, relieved: "Now I'm at ease."

Turning to Lin Yuyan, Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "I was worried she might not enter Heavenly Sword Sect; Yu Yan seems to lack combat experience."

Lin Yuyan froze at his words, looking at Jiang Chen with a grateful gaze, warmth flowing in her heart.

"That's no problem; combat experience can be accumulated. With her talent, if she can't pass the battle assessment for entrance, Elder Qin would surely challenge my master!"

Chen Jingxuan laughed lightly: "Elder Qin is the only sect elder who comprehends the Dao of Wind, and she exclusively accepts disciples with high affinity for the Dao of Wind. If Lin joins the sect, Elder Qin might take her immediately."

"That's good."

Jiang Chen smiled lightly.

"Come on, I'll take you to rest."

Chen Jingxuan rose to speak.

Jiang Chen hesitated a moment, glancing at Qiu Ying and the others, puzzled: "Don't you have to assist others with testing?"

"I'm only responsible for testing Divine Infant Realm powerhouses wishing to enter Heavenly Sword Sect at this time; you both are exceptions due to yesterday's events!"

Chen Jingxuan chuckled.

Jiang Chen nodded in understanding and followed Chen Jingxuan out of the hall.

Tang Zhenglin glanced coldly at Jiang Chen's back, his eyes revealing a chilling glint. He, like Liu Jianming, didn't want Jiang Chen to enter Heavenly Sword Sect.

Following Chen Jingxuan to the guest room, Jiang Chen and Lin Yuyan settled in.

They stayed for three days.

Such a simple test took three whole days to test everyone attempting to enter Heavenly Sword Sect.

Bam Bam Bam!

One day, amidst Jiang Chen's cultivation, knocks echoed from the door.

Jiang Chen glanced at the door, frowned gently, and rose to open it.

"Jiang Chen, it's time for the battle assessment. Brother Chen wants you and Lin Yuyan to come."

Outside the room door, Song Zhijian spoke expressionlessly, turning away immediately after.

Watching Song Zhijian's back, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, though his face was expressionless, his eyes showed a trace of pity.

Being secretly on guard, Jiang Chen called Lin Yuyan next door, and together they headed to the City Lord's Mansion Hall.
