Chapter 1040 1036: Doubling Again

"What? Is Ye Chen actually thinking of breaking the third record as well?" Everyone's bodies trembled sharply, their eyes full of thick disbelief.

"Heh! Ye Chen, you really dare to dream! Looks like breaking two records in a row has completely blown up your confidence.

Too bad, you're just talking delusional nonsense." Sima Tian couldn't help but sneer, the corners of his mouth full of mocking derision, as if he'd just heard the funniest joke in the world.

You have to know, since ancient times, throughout the entire Human King Hall, those who could continuously break two records in the True Disciple assessment were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

As for breaking three records in a row, there hasn't even been a single person.

Yet Ye Chen actually dares to dream of breaking three records; that's simply way too overconfident.

"Is that so? Then I just have to give it a try." A cold smile flashed at Ye Chen's lips, and his brows were filled with thick, unwavering confidence.

The last round of the True Disciple assessment mainly tested their Martial Arts Realm.

And in this aspect, it just happened to be Ye Chen's strong suit.

So as long as he was willing, breaking the record was simply a matter of lifting a finger.

This was also why he cared so much about the reward.

Because those rewards were already in his pocket.

"Hmph! This Ye Chen really has no shame. The fact he could break two records is already extremely lucky, yet he still dares to dream of breaking three records. He truly doesn't have the slightest bit of self-awareness." Jia Lu sneered, her eyes full of thick contempt.

"That's what you call a greedy heart that wants to swallow an elephant. I really want to see just who gave him this kind of confidence!" Even Nangong Hao felt Ye Chen was far too arrogant.

In his eyes, Ye Chen breaking two records was already his limit.

Wanting to break three records was absolutely impossible.

After all, to reach that step was just too, too hard.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be that in the history of the Human King Hall, not a single person had managed it.

"Ye Chen, if you can break three records, the rewards can be doubled again. This is a rule set by the Human King Hall since ancient times." Elder Luo smiled faintly.

Because in the True Disciple assessment, breaking a record was truly too difficult.

Especially breaking three records; that was as hard as ascending to the heavens.

So from the very beginning, the high level of the Human King Hall purposely set the rewards to be incomparably generous.

That was meant to serve as a form of encouragement for everyone.

Too bad, since ancient times, there hasn't even been a single person who could break three records.

Up till now, this reward has never been claimed.

You have to admit that's a kind of irony.

"What? Double again! Doesn't that mean, as long as I break the third record, I can get another four million Human Race Contribution Points?" Ye Chen couldn't help but lick his lips, his gaze turning incomparably burning hot.

He had originally thought that breaking the third record and getting another two million Human Race Contribution Points would already be pretty good.

But he hadn't expected it to be twice as much as he'd imagined.

To him, this was practically a heaven-sent surprise.

"Ye Chen, even though you've mastered two Celestial Level Upper Grade Martial Arts, breaking the record is still incomparably difficult." At this moment, Elder Luo couldn't help but transmit his voice to Ye Chen, his brows full of deep regret.

In truth, he very much hoped that Ye Chen could break the third record and create an unprecedented miracle in the Human King Hall.

But rationality told him this was almost impossible.

After all, although Ye Chen's Martial Arts Realm was extremely high, there were still a few Inner Hall Disciples in the history of the Human King Hall who could be compared to him.

Especially the one who created the record—back when he was in the Profound Pill Realm, he had already mastered four Celestial Level Upper Grade Martial Arts, far more heaven-defying than Ye Chen.

So today, Ye Chen basically had no chance of breaking the record that man left behind.

"Elder Luo, didn't you say before that I have a sliver of hope?" Ye Chen asked.

"If we go by age, you indeed have hope of breaking the record. After all, someone who can master two Celestial Level Upper Grade Martial Arts at twenty years old is extremely rare even in the history of our Human King Hall.

But if we go by the normal rules, then you have very little hope of breaking the record." Elder Luo sighed.

"I understand." Ye Chen nodded.

He had originally planned to keep a lower profile. After all, if he displayed too many Celestial Level Upper Grade Martial Arts in front of everyone, he would definitely be treated as some kind of monster.

But now, he had no choice but to do so.

Otherwise, he simply wouldn't be able to break the record.

For those four million Human Race Contribution Points, he could only go all out.

"Ye Chen, stop daydreaming. To break the record, you need to have mastered at least four Celestial Level Upper Grade Martial Arts. Do you have that?" Sima Tian couldn't help but sneer, the corners of his mouth full of playful ridicule.

He admitted that Ye Chen's Martial Arts Realm was very high, already at the True Intent Ninth Layer, enough to rival a powerhouse in the late Golden Core Realm.

But the Celestial Level Upper Grade Martial Arts Ye Chen had mastered were only two in number; he was still far from breaking the record.

"Frogs at the bottom of a well like you have no idea how strong I really am. Later, just keep your eyes wide open. You're definitely going to start doubting your life." Ye Chen sneered, looking at Sima Tian as if he were a pathetic little clown jumping around.

"Alright, the fourth round of testing officially begins. You just need to display your most powerful Martial Arts Technique in front of the fourth stone pillar, and your Martial Arts Realm will be measured.

But let me say the ugly truth first: you must have mastered at least two Celestial Level Lower Grade Martial Arts to pass the test, or you'll be eliminated." At this moment, Elder Luo's sonorous voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Under normal circumstances, any Cultivator who can step into the Golden Core Realm must at least have cultivated one Celestial Level Martial Arts, pushing their Martial Arts Realm to the True Intent Seventh Layer.

Otherwise, they would be stuck at the Peak of Profound Pill Realm for their entire lives, never able to condense a Golden Core.

So as long as they were able to participate in the True Disciple assessment, at minimum they had mastered one Celestial Level Lower Grade Martial Arts.

However, someone who had only mastered a single Celestial Level Lower Grade Martial Arts would simply be unable to pass the test; they needed to have at least two.

This was the requirement the Human King Hall set for True Disciples.

In truth, this requirement wasn't too excessive.

Many Inner Hall Disciples of the Human King Hall had already mastered two Celestial Level Lower Grade Martial Arts before stepping into the Golden Core Realm.

There were even some with exceptionally strong comprehension who had mastered Celestial Level Middle Grade Martial Arts.

However, those like Ye Chen who had mastered Celestial Level Upper Grade Martial Arts were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

"First, Zhang Tao." Elder Luo announced.

"Haha! I've prepared for years to become a True Disciple. This time, I will definitely succeed." Zhang Tao's figure flickered as he flew toward the fourth stone pillar.
