You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 188 - 15, One cut_3

If it’s not, it wouldn’t be surprising either.
After all, it was when the princes reached the peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, their Divine Souls transformed, and past memories awakened that they truly became different.
Therefore, before the awakening of past memories, it ultimately depended on the prince’s own talent.
The forces from all sides fixed their eyes on Lin Yue.
Even that seemingly stunning and shocking black-robed swordsman was not as important as the prince by any measure.
"Agents planted in Duke Heng’s mansion have long confirmed that this Your Highness has also studied martial arts, though the specifics are unclear, the martial arts realm should not be low."
"This Your Highness broke through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier so quickly, there is a ninety percent chance of passing the first boundary."
"Based on the records of this Prince Lin Yue in Qingdu, his martial arts talent is ordinary, and with such a short cultivation time, the chance of passing the second boundary is relatively small."
"Watch carefully, once he draws his blade, carefully analyze the martial arts method he practiced, this is crucial information."
In just an instant, as Lin Yue took the stage, Divine Thought transmission swiftly exchanged and completed plans.
"Come..."
Lin Yue stood there calmly, his eyes fixed on the Treasure Mirror within layers of barriers three zhang away.
Suddenly—
"Boom!"
Amidst the roar of wind and fire, his figure abruptly vanished.
A brilliant flash of blade light blossomed.
Prairie Fire Strike!
The blade light instantly struck the faint layer of clear light on the Treasure Mirror’s surface, setting off ripples.
Lin Yue’s figure appeared before the Treasure Mirror.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang—!"
Immediately, the sound of the barrier shattering formed an almost unbroken chain. In just a moment, the ninety-nine layers of the barrier released by the mirror had completely shattered!
Lin Yue stood amidst the scattered fragments of the shattered barrier, casually sheathing his blade and stepping back.
A silent pause ensued.
It was then that most people present, shocked, realized that in just an instant, he had appeared in front of the Treasure Mirror as if via instant teleportation!
This terrifying speed was exactly like that of the black-robed swordsman earlier!
"Ninety-nine layers."
Grandmaster An looked at Lin Yue with a peculiar gaze.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The prince was indeed a peerless prodigy.
But a prince who had just broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier and had not yet awakened past memories, to be this astonishing?
With his sharp eyes, he could discern the power in that blade Lin Yue had just wielded.
In sheer potency, it slightly surpassed many at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier peak, and the speed was even more frightening, almost faster than that of the nameless black-robed swordsman earlier!
For a cultivator who had just broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier to display such strength?
He could perceive it.
This His Highness’s cultivation was at the lowest level of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, and the Ancient God’s Way, though strong, made combat power just one tier stronger than the same realm.
However, a cultivator of the Xiahong lineage in the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier could prematurely harness the mysterious latent power in the bloodline, raising their Daoist combat power by an additional tier.
This meant that the Xiahong Prince was naturally two tiers stronger than other cultivators in terms of basics.
But even with that, it was not enough to break ninety-nine layers of the barrier, nor to possess such speed.
The realm displayed in the martial arts skills of that blade actually condensed True Intent and was likely at the Second Layer Realm.
To achieve the Second Layer Realm of True Martial Arts in a little over a year?
This was not the most incredible part.
Most crucially, this His Highness practiced a supremely fast terrifying killing skill!
With just such fundamentals, his speed was already astonishing, likely the ultimate killing skill that martial cultivators both feared and longed for.
Thus, with a single simple strike, he effortlessly shattered ninety-nine layers of the barrier!
His martial arts talent was very high.
Grandmaster An formed his judgment.
Compared to Grandmaster An, other examiners who knew the situation were even more astonished.
Even if he was a prince, only having cultivated a little over a year and without awakening past memories, how could he be so strong?
Not only a prince but also a rare martial arts genius?
For a moment, countless people sighed in awe.
Lin Yue, however, remained very calm.
He knew the standards of the Outer Hall examination, and such a result was naturally anticipated.
A year ago, he could barely keep up with the combat speed of outstanding individuals at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier peak like the Heavenly Born Sect’s Saint Heir, just by mastering the Thirteen Flames’ first strike and the Mind Forbidden Technique.
Now, not only had he broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, but the Thirteen Flames had also been practiced to a considerable depth.
"Luckily, the Thirteen Flames made a new breakthrough a few days ago; otherwise, I would have had to use the Mind Forbidden Technique..."
Lin Yue mused silently.
Though his current strength was decent, the only technique he hadn’t used yet was the Mind Forbidden Technique; he had already given it his all with the rest.
Even if he employed the Mind Forbidden Technique, it could only let him rely on speed to suppress last year’s Heavenly Born Sect’s Saint Heir.
The Outer Hall examination was easy, but the Inner Hall examination left no room for hope.
"The last one."
At this moment, Grandmaster An looked toward Baili Fengzhi standing behind Lin Yue.
