Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

"Your ranking... ninety-three thousand six hundred and eighty-first!"

Zi Sang spoke.

"What? Over ninety-three thousand?"

Lu Changsheng’s eyes widened, as if he couldn’t believe it.

This was far too low.

Lu Changsheng actually still thought quite highly of himself.

He was very clear that he had passed the Black Light Tower’s trial while still at the Ascension Rank stage.

That Talent was naturally extremely outstanding.

Not to mention top ten.

But he should at least be able to rank within the top hundred.

And the result?

Over ninety thousand!

How was that possible?

"Master, you have not officially participated in the ultimate trial yet, so your ranking can only be calculated based on the potential you displayed when you passed the primary trial."

"The Black Light Tower’s ranking is actually determined by assessing, through your cultivation situation, how long it will take you to become a Source Life. The earlier the time, the higher the ranking."

"For example, the chaotic lifeform currently ranked first might, in a year or two, very likely become a Source Life."

Zi Sang explained one point after another.

Only then did Lu Changsheng suddenly understand.

So the Black Light Tower was giving a comprehensive judgment on how long it would take to become a Source Life.

That made sense.

He had only just become a chaotic lifeform.

He had not undergone even a single Life Transition; how could he possibly become a Source Life in a short time?

It was perfectly normal for his ranking to be so far back.

But Lu Changsheng had another doubt.

"I’m ranked over ninety thousand. Just how many cultivators in this Black Light Realm have passed the Black Light Tower’s primary trial? From the looks of it, I’m afraid it exceeds a hundred thousand?"

"Yes, it exceeds a hundred thousand. The total number is roughly around a hundred and ten thousand."

Lu Changsheng fell silent.

A hundred and ten thousand.

These were a hundred and ten thousand of the most top-tier geniuses.

Anyone who could pass the Black Light Tower’s primary trial would be a top genius no matter where they went.

In the Baihua Domain, aside from Lu Changsheng, there wasn’t a single one.

Yet in the Black Light Realm there were a hundred and ten thousand!

"Master, the vastness of the Chaos might surpass your imagination. The number of Domains at present is so great it is already hard to count. With such an enormous base, even if only one genius capable of passing the Black Light Tower’s primary trial was born from every ten Domains, that number would still be extremely large."

"On top of that, the lifespans of chaotic lifeforms are extremely long; waiting for their natural end is far too difficult. Thus, this number of a hundred and ten thousand has been slowly accumulated over many eras."

"Even so, Master’s Talent is also extremely outstanding. If Master participates in the ultimate trial, your ranking will definitely rise sharply."

On this point, Zi Sang was very confident.

These Artifact Spirits of the Black Light Tower’s sub-bodies, once they chose a master, were completely bound together with that master.

The better their master performed in the Black Light Realm, and especially if they eventually became a Source Life, the better the lives of these sub-body Artifact Spirits would be.

But if their master fell.

Or was unable to become a Source Life.

Then they would return to the Black Light Tower’s main body, and the Artifact Spirit would be completely merged back into the main body.

To them, that was equivalent to death.

Thus, the Artifact Spirits of the Black Light Tower’s sub-bodies could almost be said to share honor and loss together with the cultivator.

"Then since the Black Light Realm was established, how many Source Lives have been born?"

Lu Changsheng asked again.

"Since the birth of the Black Light Realm, a total of eleven Source Lives have emerged."

Lu Changsheng’s eyes widened.

Eleven Source Lives?

This was counting from the establishment of the Black Light Realm.

Some chaotic lifeforms had already reached their natural limit, or had fallen midway.

If one really added them all up, the number would certainly far exceed a hundred and ten thousand.

And among so many chaotic lifeforms, only eleven Source Lives had emerged.

It seemed that even for the chaotic lifeform ranked first, becoming a Source Life was an extremely difficult matter.

To become a Source Life among these cultivators who had passed the primary trial was practically one in ten thousand.

"By the way, what counts as passing the ultimate trial?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"This... I’ve only heard of it. You could say it’s difficult, or you could say it’s simple. You only need to complete a single Life Transition, but there is a time limit, and this time limit is rather harsh."

Zi Sang said hesitantly.

Lu Changsheng nodded.

It seemed the ultimate trial was actually to further screen out geniuses.

"Let’s go, we’ll go accept the ultimate trial first."

Lu Changsheng no longer hesitated. Under Zi Sang’s guidance, he quickly headed for the trial hall.

There were not many people in this trial hall.

After all, many cultivators had already accepted the ultimate trial.

But most had failed.

Once you failed, you were no longer qualified to accept the ultimate trial.

Zi Sang was originally a sub-body of the Black Light Tower.

Thus, everything was guided by Zi Sang.

Lu Changsheng stood in a secret chamber.

At this moment, a figure appeared before him.

It was actually Zi Sang.

"Master, Zi Sang has already received the content of your ultimate trial."

"Please take a look."

With a wave of Zi Sang’s hand, Lu Changsheng focused his gaze.

"Lu Changsheng, twelve thousand years old, transformed into a chaotic lifeform through the Myriad Sources Root Skill."

"Based on Lu Changsheng’s comprehensive data, the following ultimate trial content is given: within ten thousand years, Lu Changsheng must complete a Life Transition using the ’Heaven Opening Technique.’"

"If the ten-thousand-year limit is exceeded, it will be judged as a failure. If a Life Transition is completed using any other Magic Technique, it will be judged as a failure."

"If a Life Transition is successfully completed, it will be graded according to the time taken for the Life Transition; the shorter the time, the higher the grade, and the richer the rewards."

Right after, Lu Changsheng saw the so-called ’Heaven Opening Technique.’

In fact, this was a Life Transition Technique.

A Life Transition was not a Magic Technique used in ordinary cultivation.
