You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 284 - 54. Eternal Night Holy Grade

Within the Bright Mirror Hall, a hush fell instantly.

Everyone couldn't help but gaze in astonishment at the prince, who had cultivated for just over a year.

Anyone with a modicum of insight could tell, to meet the verification conditions of the Heart Lotus Jade, one must surely be an invincible entity just below a Great Cultivator!

Thirty-six strikes in an instant, each attack reaching the threshold of Great Cultivators; with such strength, passing the Tianxia Building's Third Layer and achieving five consecutive victories shouldn't be difficult.

And this Seventeenth Prince?

In the Inner Hall assessment a month ago, His Highness had only just passed the fourth round of life-and-death combat, which was the standard of the Second Layer's consecutive wins in the Tianxia Building.

The gap was too wide.

Just over a month, how much can he improve?

This prince is very good at speed, but there's still too much of a gap in strength.

"Personal verification?"

The Imperial Master also raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes containing a hint of surprise.

She knew that the prince was cultivating the Thirteen Flames, a set of purely high-speed killing skills; its speed was terrifying, but at most only thirteen strikes could be executed, and even if perfected, the attacks would not reach the threshold of a Great Cultivator.

With such strength, not even the Divine List was within reach, far from it.

However, Lin Yue's calmness and confidence aroused some anticipation in her: What was the source of this prince's confidence?

"Does Your Highness wish to verify personally?"

The ministers of the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Examination Hall were also taken aback, unable to resist asking, "How does Your Highness plan to verify?"

"Just watch," Lin Yue glanced at them.

"Your Highness."

Baili Fengzhi immediately came over and helped him remove the cloak draped over his body.

As soon as Lin Yue stretched out his hand, a long saber appeared, and he also released the aura concealed by the treasure gifted by Duke Heng.

"The Third Layer of Four Symbols?"

The crowd immediately sensed an improvement in his cultivation, indeed reaching a slightly higher level.

But this slight improvement still wasn't enough to enter the Tianxia Building's Third Layer.

"Seventeenth Prince, please unleash your full strength."

The Imperial Master tapped her fingertip, and the Heart Lotus Jade on the table instantly floated up, suspending in mid-air, with a great surge of heaven and earth essence pouring into it.

In an instant, the Heart Lotus Jade bloomed with layers of radiance, forming layers upon layers of ethereal lotus leaves that condensed around it.

Then, with another tap of her fingertip, an invisible barrier enveloped their surroundings.

Protected by the layers of lotus leaf barriers, the Heart Lotus Jade hovered in the center of the Bright Mirror Hall.

The hall was extremely spacious, and a small area of tens of feet around was still easily cleared.

"It's ready."

Amidst the gazes, Lin Yue walked step by step in front of the Heart Lotus Jade.

In an instant, seas of blood churned in his eyes, with streams of blood-red essence beginning to wrap around him.

Then—

As if a silent wind had brushed past, a flash of fire ignited; Lin Yue's figure suddenly vanished and then appeared before the Heart Lotus Jade, executing a slash.

Almost simultaneously, he disappeared again.

In that moment, Lin Yue vanished and reappeared thirty-six times, surrounding the Heart Lotus Jade in the blink of an eye with overlapping silhouettes, each delivering a slash at the barrier!

Everyone understood that these were merely the afterimages left by his terrifying speed!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang—!"

The thirty-six sounds of the saber light shattering the barrier almost coincided, resonating as one prolonged reverberation within the Bright Mirror Hall!

Instantaneously, all thirty-six layers of the barrier around the Heart Lotus Jade had completely shattered.

The lotus leaves of the Heart Lotus Jade also closed as previously described.

But those present weren't concerned about this anymore.

Within the Bright Mirror Hall, silence prevailed.

Privately, however, Divine Thought Transmissions were already erupting in commotion.

"Terrifying speed… Is this really Thirteen Flames?"

"How could it be? Thirteen Flames can only burst forth thirteen times at high speed, these thirty-six continuous high-speed bursts are clearly Martial Arts True Skills!"

"This… he hasn't even broken through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier and he's already created his own Martial Arts True Skill?"

"Last month he was just at the threshold of the Martial Arts True Self, how did he improve so much in just over a month?"

"Incredible… without breaking the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, he's so quickly grasped a hint of the essence?"

"Isn't this, the prince who has only cultivated for a little over a year? Are princes really this formidable?"

The onlookers all watched Lin Yue in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.

This level of strength was okay; many of the Great Cultivators present were stronger, but if you add 'cultivated for just over a year' before this strength, that was truly terrifying!

Especially the heads of the Imperial Examination Hall and Ministry of Justice couldn't help but freeze for a moment before they chuckled wryly to themselves.

Before coming, they expected the situation to be hopeful, but who knew this prince not only knew so much but had also made such unbelievable progress?

"Imperial Master."

Lin Yue casually sheathed his saber and let Baili Fengzhi drape the cloak over him again, before he addressed the Imperial Master, "As you can see, this should be enough to verify the authenticity of the Heart Lotus Jade, right?"

"Indeed," the Imperial Master revealed a trace of a smile and nodded slightly.

Of course, her acknowledgment went beyond verifying the Heart Lotus Jade; she was actually praising the Martial Arts True Skill that the prince had just demonstrated.

Thirty-six consecutive bursts of extreme speed, with each saber strike precisely reaching the base level of a Great Cultivator, were definitely regarded as an Ultimate True Skill!

In her heart, she also made a judgement; it seemed that although the prince had not yet reached the Peak of the Four Symbols, he must have awakened certain past life memories, otherwise, he would not have made such huge progress in just a month.
