I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

In the subsequent strength test, Ning Chen held nothing back.

He stood in front of the specially made super alloy force gauge, and seemingly casually threw a light punch.

There was no loud wind, only a deep, muffled thud!

Immediately afterwards!

boom!

The force gauge, which was capable of withstanding an impact of 10,000 tons, did not display any numbers and burst open from the inside!

Countless parts and shell fragments shot backward like cannonballs, raining down on the reinforced walls of the training ground with deafening roars, leaving a large, gleaming hole in the wall.

After the smoke and dust cleared, only fragments embedded in the wall and broken parts of the force gauge scattered all over the ground remained.

The entire room was completely silent; even breathing could be heard clearly.

People looked at the pile of scrap metal, then at Ning Chen, who stood calmly with his fists clenched, and felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

What terrifying power this is!

Chen Feng's men had already involuntarily taken a half step back, their faces as pale as paper, their eyes filled with fear.

Chen Feng himself had a dry throat, clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, but he was completely unaware of it.

For the final pressure test, Ning Chen entered a pressure chamber.

Old Qin gave repeated instructions.

"If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can stop at any time."

Ning Chen nodded slightly and calmly walked into the enclosed room.

The pressure readings jumped wildly, quickly breaking through the limits of conventional human testing, and continued to rise: 200 standard atmospheres, 300, 500...

On the monitoring screen outside the barometer, Ning Chen's vital signs—heartbeat and blood volume—were as steady as a straight line, without even a slight fluctuation, as if he were simply in an ordinary environment.

The terrifying pressure, enough to deform special alloys, was like a gentle breeze to him.

When the air pressure finally stopped at an astonishing 1000 standard atmospheres and remained stable for five minutes, Ning Chen signaled that it could stop.

He calmly walked out of the pressure chamber, his face normal and his breathing steady.

Old Qin had been keeping a close eye on all the data, and at this moment, a smile finally appeared on his old face—a smile of extreme satisfaction and gratification.

He patted Ning Chen on the shoulder.

"Very good, give me seven days... no, three days, and I will definitely build a testing device that can test your limits."

The old man waved his hand dismissively.

"withdraw!"

The research team quickly packed up their equipment and left without any hesitation.

The almost frozen atmosphere was broken only after Old Qin left, followed by a tsunami of gasps.

"Powerful... Could this be the true powerhouse who received the inheritance of the Journey to the West Divine Realm?"

"Who just said he was only strong in one attribute? With his strength and speed, there's probably no one on Earth who can beat him!"

"Finally, someone on our Blue Star will be able to conquer the Divine Realm!"

All eyes were focused on the slender figure in the center of the arena, a figure that possessed boundless power.

Chen Feng and his small team, standing outside the arena, were already pale and dumbfounded. Their previous arrogance had been completely crushed, leaving only endless shock and lingering fear.

They finally realized that the gap between themselves and Ning Chen was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth, and that they had to strain their necks to even look up at him.

Luo Zhantian glanced at Chen Feng, who was hiding in the crowd with shifty eyes, and then clapped his hands.

"Alright, everyone can leave now. Staff will take you to the student dormitories later. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, we'll be here again. I'll be explaining the precautions for conquering the second level of the Journey to the West!"

Many students dispersed, and Luo Zhantian called out to Ning Chen.

"Oh, right, Ning Chen, could you stay behind for a moment?"

He led Ning Chen to the lounge on one side of the martial arts hall.

After closing the door, he looked serious and stared into Ning Chen's eyes.

"Ning Chen, the test results have proven everything. Tell me, did you obtain a true extraordinary cultivation opportunity in the Journey to the West Divine Realm?"

Luo Zhantian got straight to the point.

Ning Chen did not evade the question and nodded frankly.

"yes!"

A flicker of excitement crossed Luo Zhantian's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and continued to ask.

"Could you tell me more details? Which sect did you join? What kind of cultivation method do you practice?"

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Teacher Luo, I have indeed joined a sect and received orthodox cultivation lineage, but the teachings are not to be passed on to just a few people."

He paused for a moment, his expression serious.

"The sect has decreed that without the sect's permission, the fundamental cultivation method must not be passed on to outsiders. Even the sect's name and the location of its mountain gate must not be mentioned to outsiders. Otherwise, if the sect discovers this, it is very likely that the person will be skinned alive and their soul banished to the deepest hell, never to be reincarnated."

Wow, is it really that ruthless?

Even a Grandmaster like Luo Zhantian couldn't help but gasp upon hearing these words.

If someone from another realm said that, he would think they were bragging.

However, Ning Chen's sect is a divine sect from Journey to the West, with powerful demons that can interfere with the reality of Blue Star. What Ning Chen said is probably not something that is difficult to achieve.

Seeing Luo Zhantian's expression, Ning Chen added.

"However, those unorthodox techniques obtained through exchanges with others, such as the Wind Control Technique, Ember Fire Technique, and Dust Purification Technique that I shared before, are not restricted and can be taught."

"I will also look for opportunities to obtain fundamental cultivation methods outside of my sect, and try my best to help everyone step into the threshold of the extraordinary as soon as possible."

Luo Zhantian remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, a look of understanding on his face.

"I see."

He sighed softly.

"That makes sense, actually. If those truly profound Taoist techniques were so easy to leak out, the extraordinary system of the Journey to the West Divine Realm would probably have been figured out by us long ago. It wouldn't have been you who first truly obtained the orthodox cultivation inheritance!"

He patted Ning Chen on the shoulder, his tone solemn.

"Since it's your sect's rule, I won't ask any more questions. The country won't force you to disobey your master's orders. Doing so would not only put you in an unjust position, but it might also anger the entity behind you and destroy your only seed."

"but........"

Luo Zhantian changed the subject, his eyes fixed intently on Ning Chen.

"Now that you have embarked on the true path of cultivation, your responsibilities on Blue Star will become even greater. The erosion of reality by the Journey to the West Divine Realm is intensifying, and we need every powerful cultivator of the Divine Realm to stand up and protect Blue Star from the calamity of the Journey to the West Divine Realm's leakage!"

Ning Chen responded calmly.

"I will do my best."

Luo Zhantian nodded and gave his final instructions.

"I will explain your true strength and lineage to the higher-ups and suggest that it be classified as top secret. To the outside world, you can still say that you are a lucky person who obtained some magic from that down-on-his-luck Taoist priest. This will protect you and avoid unnecessary trouble."

Although he felt it was unnecessary, Ning Chen still spoke sincerely.

"Thank you, Teacher Luo. I'll be careful!"

If he doesn't want to talk, who can force him? Who dares to force him?

"Go, get some rest, and remember to attend the second level of the divine realm strategy class on time tomorrow."

Watching Ning Chen leave, Luo Zhantian sighed.

"Ning Chen, you are our greatest hope..."

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"I need to grant Ning Chen access to the secret vault and the ability to exchange SSS-level divine realm items!"
