The Flying Heaven Pavilion was in an uproar, all because of Chu Mu.
"Ever since the establishment of the Flying Heaven Pavilion, there have been many records in the entrance examination, but they were all broken by later generations. The record from a thousand years ago was held for nine hundred years before it was broken by Qin Tianyi. I thought that Qin Tianyi's record would last for a thousand years or even longer, but who would have thought …"
"I've already investigated. This Chu Mu has a humble background, and comes from the Sky Edge Sword Palace of the Ziling Continent."
"The Sky Edge Sword Palace of the Ziling Continent … I remember that it was a very small faction …"
"They say that a dragon can't be raised in shallow water. Who would have thought that there would be such an accident."
"Such a genius has become a disciple of the Flying Heaven Pavilion. If we train him well, his future achievements will not be inferior to Qin Tianyi's."
… …
Chu Mu was the first of the six hundred swordsmen to pass the examination. After Chu Mu, three more people passed, but they took more than seven minutes. In the end, four hundred people passed and officially became disciples of the Flying Heaven Pavilion. As for the two hundred people who didn't pass the test within two hours, they were regretfully sent out of the miniature world of the Soaring Pavilion. Their fate was up to them.
Four hundred people became disciples of the Flying Heaven Pavilion. This number was obviously more than before.
The four hundred people gathered in the Flying Heaven Pavilion's main hall. The hall was very spacious, and could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. Besides the four hundred disciples, there were also the elders of the Flying Heaven Pavilion.
"Let's test your cultivation talent first," one of the elders said.
In the world of swordsmen, there were several aspects that were related to their ultimate achievements.
Cultivation talent, perception, willpower, soul, luck, and so on. None of these could be missing.
The Flying Heaven Pavilion had its own way of testing, which was more accurate.
Cultivation talent was tested by a transparent crystal ball the size of a human head. The four hundred people were tested one by one.
Because Chu Mu was the first to pass the test, his position was at the very front and he received a lot of attention.
As the first person to pass the entrance exam and break the hundred year record, everyone's gazes were all focused on Chu Mu. They really wanted to see what level this disciple with extraordinary comprehension had reached in his cultivation talent.
"He should be of the second rank."
"I also think it's Level Two. I just don't know which level of Level Two he is at."
"Probably High Rank-2 Middle Rank-2."
The Pavilion Elders began to make guesses through telepathy.
As for the three people standing behind Chu Mu, they had passed the examination a little later than him. They believed that their perception was outstanding, but they didn't expect that they were actually inferior to Chu Mu. Therefore, they were somewhat unconvinced. They also wanted to see if this person who surpassed them in perception would also surpass them in cultivation talent.
Leng Changfeng, who was defeated by Chu Mu, was also very curious about Chu Mu's cultivation talent.
As for his cultivation talent, Chu Mu was very clear in his heart. This was his shortcoming, his biggest shortcoming. It was a shortcoming that he was currently working hard to improve.
Under everyone's gaze, Chu Mu walked towards the cultivation talent testing crystal ball. He stretched out his hand and covered the crystal ball. Suddenly, a ray of light appeared inside the crystal ball. It was red and quickly expanded like a whirlpool, filling the entire crystal ball. In the blink of an eye, it turned orange and then yellow.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, silver, gold. Nine colors were constantly alternating and circulating. It was colorful and gorgeous.
As the crystal ball's color changed, a force from the crystal ball passed through Chu Mu's palm and entered his body through his arm. Every time the crystal ball's color changed, Chu Mu felt that harmless force flowing through his body and going deeper and deeper.
Cultivation talent was very mysterious. It couldn't be touched or seen, but it existed in the deepest part of the human body.
When the crystal ball's color changed nine times, that harmless force had completely penetrated into the deepest part of Chu Mu's body. Even his Divine Sense was unable to sense it.
Soon after, the color of the crystal ball began to change from gold to silver, then to purple, and so on. The harmless energy in his body also began to circulate from the depths of his body, spreading to every corner of his body, not leaving a single bit untouched.
Back in the Ancient Sword Continent, Chu Mu had also tested his cultivation talent. However, that test was much cruder than this one.
Finally, the crystal ball's color changed back to red. The harmless force in Chu Mu's body also returned to the crystal ball through his arm. The red color disappeared and the crystal ball became transparent again.
The final moment had arrived. Everyone's eyes were focused on the crystal ball.
Three breaths felt as long as three years. A color appeared in the center of the crystal ball and rapidly expanded. The color also began to change from red to orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue …
When the color changed to blue, it suddenly paused and stopped changing at a pure blue color.
"Blue …" Suddenly, the pavilion elders and the disciples of the Flying Heaven Pavilion were all dumbfounded. Their faces were full of disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Low Rank Five …"
The color changes in the crystal ball — red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, silver, gold — corresponded to cultivation talent from Rank Nine to Rank Two. Blue corresponded to Rank Five cultivation talent.
Every rank and every color had different shades. The lighter the color, the lower the rank, and the darker the color, the higher the rank.
For example, Chu Mu's light blue color meant Low Rank Five.
"There must be a mistake."
"With such comprehension, how can his cultivation talent be so low?"
There was a lot of discussion.
They couldn't believe that a person who broke the record of the Flying Sky Pavilion's entrance examination in terms of comprehension would only have a cultivation talent of the fifth grade. In their minds, the third grade was already very low.
Stunned, everyone was stunned.
"There must be a mistake. Test it again," one of the pavilion elders said flatly.
Chu Mu didn't say anything and tested it again. Everyone hurriedly abandoned all distracting thoughts and looked at it with full concentration again. When the color on the crystal ball was fixed again, they felt a kind of disappointment from the bottom of their hearts.
Light blue color meant Low Rank Five cultivation talent.
"How could this be … How could this be …" One of the pavilion elders couldn't help feeling disappointed and muttered, looking very depressed.
"It doesn't make sense … It doesn't make sense …" Another pavilion elder said absent-mindedly and almost beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Great hope was exchanged for great disappointment. That kind of gap was unbearable for them. For a moment, they were sad and happy.
Among all of them, Chu Mu was the calmest because he knew how his cultivation talent was. Rank Five, it was just that he didn't know which level of Rank Five he was at.
Strictly speaking, as long as one was in the fifth rank, they would be able to cultivate to the limit of the Divine Condensation Realm. However, the difference between the low and high fifth rank lay in the speed and time required to reach the limit of the Divine Condensation Realm.
Under normal circumstances, it was naturally easier for High Rank Five to reach the limit of the Divine Condensation Realm.
It was hard to describe the feeling in their hearts.
After a while, the pavilion elders finally calmed down. They waved their hands and asked Chu Mu to stand aside and wait for the second person to take the test.
The second person was naturally the swordsman who passed the test after Chu Mu. His name was Fang Chengtian and he was a disciple of the Fang family in the West Tiger Territory. His Sword Essence Profound had reached the limit of the Eighth Revolution and he had comprehended seven Profound Meanings. If Chu Mu hadn't appeared, he would have been the most eye-catching person among the new disciples of the Flying Heaven Pavilion.
Unfortunately, he was only slightly slower than Chu Mu. He had only comprehended the sword technique after a quarter of an hour and passed the test. The difference in time was very short, so he was very dissatisfied.
Now, in the cultivation talent test, Chu Mu was only at Rank Five. On this point, he could firmly trample on Chu Mu.
This was because he had also tested his cultivation talent before and it was far above Rank Five.
Fang Chengtian's palm landed on the crystal ball and the color of the crystal ball immediately changed.
Not long after, the color finally settled down. It was gold, pure gold.
"Middle Rank Two!" Exclamations suddenly sounded. The pavilion elders' depression caused by Chu Mu was swept away in an instant.
"Good, it's really pure gold. Middle Rank Two cultivation talent."
"Good, good. This is the Flying Heaven Pavilion's honor."
The pavilion elders all laughed.
There weren't many people in the Flying Heaven Pavilion with cultivation talent who had reached Middle Rank Two. Every one of them was valued and focused on training.
It had been tens of thousands of years since the Flying Heaven Pavilion was built, and there hadn't been an Upper Rank Two. At most, there were only a few Middle Rank Two cultivators, and there weren't many of them. Even the cultivation talent of Middle Rank Two was rare.
Fang Chengtian looked at Chu Mu proudly. After being surprised, Chu Mu regained his composure. No matter what other people's talent was, it was still their own. Only by working hard to improve one's own talent would it belong to oneself.
Fortunately, he had the Heaven Seizing Technique, which defied the natural order. Although it couldn't increase one's strength, it could improve one's cultivation talent. If others knew that he had the Heaven Seizing Technique, he would definitely become a target.
No matter what, Chu Mu wouldn't say it out loud.
Fang Chengtian's joy dispelled Chu Mu's depression. Then, the third person was tested for his cultivation talent. It was slightly worse than Fang Chengtian's, but it was also at Middle Rank Two.
The fourth person's cultivation talent was also at Middle Rank Two.
One by one, they were tested. After all four hundred people were tested, Chu Mu's cultivation talent was the lowest. It was much lower than the second last person.
Even the second last disciple's cultivation talent was at Middle Rank Four.
Everyone knew the difference between Middle Rank Four and Lower Rank Five. This meant that a Middle Rank Four could at least cultivate to the Creation Realm. Dacheng could cultivate to the Full Creation Realm if he worked hard and spent more time. However, a Lower Rank Five could only cultivate to the limit of the God Condensation Realm. That was the limit.
His comprehension broke the record, but his cultivation talent was the lowest in the history of the Flying Heaven Pavilion. Was he a genius or mediocre?
