Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1610: Test Concluded! An Uproar Among the Crowd! Saintly Divine Abilities?

"Give me the knife!"

The Village Chief Uncle stepped forward, his expression impatient, reaching out to Mu Jinyu.

Mu Jinyu hurriedly handed the firewood knife to the Village Chief Uncle respectfully, "Master, please."

The Village Chief Uncle took the firewood knife and turned to the suitable wooden stake, speaking to Mu Jinyu calmly, "Watch carefully, it should be like this, like this..."

"Swish!"

With that, he waved his hand, and the firewood knife in his hand instantly slashed forward, a bright flash of blade gleamed like a bolt toward the wooden stake ahead, with two cracking sounds, the wooden stake was split into four pieces of firewood.

"Did you see clearly?"

The Village Chief Uncle glanced back at Mu Jinyu and asked lightly.

Mu Jinyu kept replaying that knife strike from the Village Chief Uncle in his mind, from the stance to the angle, pondering repeatedly, and subconsciously nodded upon hearing.

"Try it again!"

Seeing this, the Village Chief Uncle tossed the firewood knife back to Mu Jinyu.

"Ah?"

Mu Jinyu awoke from his reverie, catching the firewood knife in his hand, feeling regretful, realizing he shouldn't have said he saw it clearly—should have let him slash a few more times!

Since he held the knife now, it wouldn't be good to say no.

Mu Jinyu recalled the stance the Village Chief Uncle used to hold the knife and tried to adjust himself, even though it felt uncomfortable, but he decided to try it out.

Then, he slightly closed his eyes, recalling the angle the Village Chief Uncle used to slash, opened his eyes as they flashed with brilliance, and the firewood knife in his hand slashed forward!

"Swish!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!!"

Instantly, the wooden stake in front of him split into four pieces of firewood.

"Hmm, not bad, keep practicing." The Village Chief Uncle nodded slightly, said nothing, and leisurely walked away.

Mu Jinyu remained silent, immersed in the satisfaction of that knife strike. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Initially, he didn't use the stance taught by the Village Chief Uncle, though he could unleash the power of that knife, but he couldn't perform it repeatedly.

Now having the proper stance, he felt it became much easier, originally having only 50% confidence to pass the upcoming actual combat assessment, now he had a 70-80% chance.

"Master, thank you..."

Mu Jinyu opened his eyes, even without seeing the Village Chief Uncle's figure, he still expressed his gratitude.

Though the Village Chief Uncle wasn't his real village mentor, he taught him those strikes, which benefited him greatly, he was genuinely thankful to him.

Then, Mu Jinyu calmed his mind, no longer eager to learn more moves or seek others to learn different martial techniques, he kept practicing those two firewood slash strikes.

Unconsciously, Mu Jinyu found himself becoming more proficient, faster in slashing, eventually reaching a state of simplicity, no longer creating striking shadows or gleams, seemingly like an ordinary person chopping wood.

Yet the sturdy wooden stake was cut even more smoothly and quickly.

"Buzz!!"

Mu Jinyu was unsure how much time had passed; suddenly he felt a pain in his head, the world before his eyes twisted and shattered.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the Martial Arts Arena at the Examination Mansion.

Like many others, his gaze was dazedly staring at the stone wall carving ahead.

"Back again?"

Mu Jinyu sighed wistfully inside.

Then, he collected his thoughts, scanning the stone wall carving ahead, finally focusing on a very inconspicuous figure chopping wood.

This wood-chopper, among the Ten Thousand Clans' painting, was very inconspicuous, just a few simple strokes carved out, indistinct in appearance, but Mu Jinyu knew that the Village Chief Uncle he encountered must be him.

"Well?! Did you learn any martial techniques or divine skills from it?"

At this moment, Chu Huannian also composed herself, withdrawing her gaze from the stone wall carving, looking at Mu Jinyu, concernedly asking.

Mu Jinyu lightly nodded, answered, "Yes."

Chu Huannian curiously asked, "What was it? Martial techniques or divine skills?"

Mu Jinyu wasn't sure how to classify those two wood-chopping strikes, said, "I'm not sure if they're martial techniques, it's more like normal life skills practiced to the extreme, skills that approach divinity."

"Oh? What kind of life skill?" Chu Huannian asked, intrigued.

Mu Jinyu answered, "Chopping wood."

Chu Huannian: "..."

Rolling her eyes at Mu Jinyu, Chu Huannian helplessly said, "What kind of thing is that? Come on, you won't fail the comprehension test, will you?"

Saying helplessly, she began to worry.

"I should be fine."

Mu Jinyu spoke calmly, not worried at all.

After all, those two wood-chopping strikes are not glamorous, indeed unlike martial techniques or divine skills, but their power is undeniably strong, he should pass the comprehension test for sure.

"Alright, next, those whose head hasn't lit up with the Heavenly Lantern can leave the Martial Arts Arena now."

At this time, the Goatee-faced man saw the crowd had awakened, and began emotionlessly speaking.

When finished, the stone wall carving in front of everyone began to glow faintly.

Afterward, among the eight hundred people present, some gradually had small bright lights appearing above their heads.

The colors were varied; some were light yellow, some dark yellow, some black, and some azure.

Meanwhile, some pale-faced individuals, full of panic since awakening, watching others nearby having their Heavenly Lanterns lit, their eyes turned even more desperate and helpless.

Clearly, they failed to grasp the martial techniques or divine skills suitable for them from the stone wall carving, thus prepared for failure and elimination.

But when truly faced with this situation, they felt immensely hopeless nonetheless.

Not long after, beside Mu Jinyu, Chu Huannian's head also began to shine with an azure light, extremely dazzling.

Mu Jinyu had learned from the discussions around him that light yellow denoted Yellow Grade martial techniques or divine skills, dark yellow was Profound Rank, black was Earth Rank, and azure naturally was Heaven Rank level.

Chu Huannian unexpectedly comprehended Heavenly Rank martial techniques or divine skills within an hour, showing remarkable comprehension indeed!

Thinking about this, Mu Jinyu suddenly felt a bit worried.

Even though he learned those two wood-chopping strikes, would they be judged as Yellow Grade level martial techniques?

As Mu Jinyu felt somewhat concerned, he suddenly sensed a warm and bright radiance from above.

It was comfortably warm, like basking in the sun on a cloudy day.

Soon, Mu Jinyu heard unbelievable gasps around him.

A crowd stared at him intensely, eyes filled with incredulous jealousy and disbelief!

"How is this possible?"

"It turns out to be Saint Rank level divine skills?!"

"Is this guy's comprehension this terrifying?"

"So this stone wall can actually lead to Saint Rank level divine skills?"

"There are, I've heard of such cases before. It's possible, but in our area, there haven't been any instances of someone comprehending Saintly Divine Skills from the stone wall for hundreds of years!"

The scene instantly turned raucous, even the Goatee-faced man showed a hint of surprise, looking at Mu Jinyu, with a subtle, unnoticed joy hidden in the depths of his eyes.
