The echoes of Wind and Fire’s roar gradually dissipated.
In the ensuing silence, Lin Yue calmly walked back in front of the many assessors.
Although his face was somewhat pale, and he couldn’t help but cough, making him appear like a consumptive ghost, nobody dared to underestimate him.
He was too monstrous.
His Cultivation Realm had only just broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, yet he could display such extraordinary movement technique speed. How terrifying would his speed be when he reached the peak of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier?
It couldn’t be said for sure about other aspects, but his explosive movement technique speed would certainly be an invincible presence beneath a Great Cultivator!
"It must be an Ultimate Killing Skill! Definitely an Ultimate Killing Skill!"
"Apart from an Ultimate Killing Skill, other Martial Arts secret techniques, no matter how absurd, couldn’t possibly achieve such a degree, and it certainly belongs to the pure high-speed category."
"It has to be an Ultimate Killing Skill. With the same Martial Arts Realm, to exert such strength, it can only be achieved by risking one’s life."
"The Seventeenth Prince actually dares to cultivate an Ultimate Killing Skill? He must possess an Innate Divine Power related to life recovery, or perhaps an Immortal Pill with the same effect, or a special physique?"
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
"It should be an Innate Divine Power. The Princes surely awaken their Innate Divine Powers one after another."
"That’s correct, Immortal Pills have their expiration day, and those with a special physique have very obvious auras. Moreover, they are not comparable to Innate Divine Powers. Innate Divine Powers cannot be seen from the outside."
"We must report this at once. Tch, being a Prince of the Xiahong lineage with such high Martial Arts Talent and cultivating an Ultimate Killing Skill, even without the awakening of his past life’s memories, he’s already so remarkable. Troublesome indeed."
"Incredible, who was this Seventeenth Prince in his past life? Such a great figure!"
Though the crowd present was stunned into silence, few voices emerged; however, a flurry of Divine Thoughts transmitted messages to one another.
Many assessors’ views of Lin Yue also completely changed.
Regarding movement technique speed, Lin Yue was much faster than the nameless Black Robe sword client!
That nameless Black Robe sword client’s movement technique was extremely agile, making it through the maze in about half the time of the Inner Hall’s hourglass, whereas Lin Yue only took one-third of the time.
Twice as fast as a typical peak Four Symbols Heaven Barrier – that wasn’t so impressive; any genius qualified to take part in the Inner Hall assessment could do the same.
But for that nameless Black Robe sword client to be twice as fast on this basis was very frightening.
What was most inconceivable was that at such a terrifying level of movement technique, Lin Yue’s speed could still be fifty percent faster, which was simply outrageous!
And he had only just broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier!
What would his future speed be like?
It was almost unimaginable.
Grandmaster An, however, wasn’t too surprised, only thinking to himself, "As expected, it’s the Thirteen Flames. The Ultimate Killing Skill that was known as the fastest in the world two hundred years ago...Back then, Wan Qiufeng somehow cultivated a Demon Body, becoming invincible below the rank of Great Cultivator. This Prince will be able to go even further in the future and won’t have such a short life..."
An Ultimate Killing Skill – that is exchanging life for Combat Power!
Like the Thirteen Flames, initially getting familiar with the True Intent would damage one’s own foundation and Essence, and that was only at the lightest stage.
Once one condensed the True Intent, the Transformation of the Ultimate Killing Skill’s True Intent itself would cause astonishing damage!
For every strike of Thirteen Flames mastered, one’s lifespan would be shortened.
Although an Ultimate Killing Skill, it was also a suicidal technique.
Even after mastering the True Intent of Thirteen Flames, every activation of the Killing Skill would continue to damage oneself.
Without a means of life recovery, who would dare to practice it?
"Your Highness, how are you feeling?"
As Lin Yue returned, Baili Fengzhi immediately stepped forward and transmitted his Divine Thought.
"It’s nothing, there’s no effect," Lin Yue shook his head slightly.
He had already trained to the Eighth Strike of Thirteen Flames, and his current limit was to burst out eight times in succession. Just now, he had only used it six times, not yet reaching the limit, so the damage wasn’t very large.
What’s more, today he had already broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier.
Innate Divine Powers would transform as life’s level transformed.
His Innate Divine Power "Nine Deaths Undying" had transformed once again, and the recovery speed was much faster than before.
In the short time it took to walk back, he had already felt the injuries inside his body begin to heal, it wouldn’t take long to fully recover.
As for the Divine Power of listening to secrets, it should have also transformed, but since no secrets had been received yet, he was unsure how much improvement there had been.
However, over the past year since the last transformation, he had gathered more than two hundred secrets, including nearly a dozen Second Ring Level secrets and quite a few at the Third Ring Level, as well as some at Fourth Rings Level.
Although there were none at the Five Rings Level, he had obtained a secret at the Sixth Ring Level.
It was just that the time had not yet come to make use of this Six Rings Level secret.
"The last one."
Grandmaster An then turned his gaze toward Baili Fengzhi, with anticipation in his eyes.
Many assessors and spectators also shifted their gaze from Lin Yue to Baili Fengzhi, clearly filled with high expectations.
Baili Fengzhi bowed to Lin Yue and promptly turned to walk towards the Barrier-formed maze.
Everyone watched intently.
"Boom!"
Upon reaching the maze entrance, Baili Fengzhi didn’t hesitate to move. His tall and upright figure seemed to transform into a line of fire at that moment, charging into the maze with astonishing speed.
The firelight flashed to the fork in the road and then... he chose the farthest path to the right.
A mere five hundred yards distance, yet it was the most intricate route!
The crowd couldn’t help but be shocked.
With such a rapid burst of speed, had he chosen the path that most tested his agility and precision in navigating the maze?
They saw the blurry silhouette, transformed into a line of fire, swiftly passing through the maze’s complicated corridors without any sign of difficulty. He maneuvered as skillfully as a butterfly flitting through flowers, soaring freely as if his wings were brushing the heavens, with each arc executed exquisitely!
