“If you want to represent the Seventh Legion in the Divine Palace, you must first become an official member of the Seventh Legion.”
“I’m taking you to test your basic attributes.”
“Strength, martial will, and mental power.”
“These are the mandatory assessments for joining the Seventh Legion. Only after becoming an official member can you accept missions and participate in various interstellar competitions.”
As Lu Xinghe walked, he turned his head to look at Su Yu.
“Furthermore…”
“If all three of your test results reach ninety points or higher, earning an excellent rating…”
“As the commander of the Seventh Legion, I can use my authority to apply for a fragment of a black-hole-level cultivation technique for you!”
Lu Xinghe deliberately emphasized the words “black-hole level.”
“You’ll be allowed to comprehend it ahead of time!”
“Although black-hole-level cultivation techniques are obscure and difficult to understand, there’s no way you’ll be able to master one in a short period of time.”
“But sooner or later, you’ll have to learn a technique of that level.”
“You can cultivate a planetary-level technique for self-defense while slowly comprehending the black-hole-level technique. The two won’t interfere with each other.”
In Lu Xinghe’s view, no matter how heaven-defying Su Yu’s talent was, there was no way he could understand a black-hole-level cultivation technique in such a short time.
That was something that required tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years of painstaking study.
Applying for it in advance was purely a way to win Su Yu over and demonstrate the sincerity of the Seventh Legion.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded.
There was no reason to turn down a black-hole-level cultivation technique offered for free.
“Then let’s go take the test.”
…
Seventh Legion, New Recruit Testing Grounds.
It was a colossal metal fortress, so enormous that it resembled a small planet.
The fortress was covered in densely packed interstellar formations.
Lu Xinghe led Su Yu through a long alloy corridor and into an exceptionally spacious testing hall.
At the center of the hall stood an old man dressed in gray robes.
His eyes were closed, and not the slightest trace of aura leaked from his body. Yet the space around him warped faintly with every breath he took.
Black-hole level!
Another black-hole-level powerhouse who had condensed a million drops of Origin Blood!
Hearing their footsteps, the old man slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze lingered on Lu Xinghe for a moment before falling upon Su Yu.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“Commander.”
The old man inclined his head slightly, his voice hoarse.
“What a young talent.”
The old man’s gaze swept over Su Yu’s body as though it were tangible, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
“His bone age is only eighteen?”
“And he’s already condensed eleven drops of Origin Blood and entered the Meteor level?”
“Not bad talent.”
The old man nodded, but there was not much shock in his tone.
In the Central Star Region, young Meteor-level martial artists were rare, but not unheard of.
Among the great clans, there were plenty of heirs who had reached the Meteor level by eighteen after having resources poured into them.
“I wonder how his combat attributes are.”
The old man turned around and pointed toward a massive black crystal stele in the center of the hall.
“Go ahead, young man.”
“First test: strength.”
“Do not use any weapons or martial will.”
“Use only your vital energy and physical body. Strike the Strength Testing Stele with everything you have.”
Su Yu stepped forward.
He stopped in front of the black crystal stele.
Then he took a deep breath.
Deep within his heart, the eleven flawless drops of Origin Blood began circulating with a thunderous roar.
He used no martial technique.
Nor did he employ any fancy method of exerting force.
He simply clenched his fist.
Then—
he punched!
Bang!
The dull impact exploded through the testing hall.
A blinding radiance burst from the black crystal stele.
Immediately afterward, a line of clear numbers appeared above it.
[Strength Rating: Twelve Meteor Units.]
At the sight of the number, the gray-robed old man frowned slightly.
He shook his head, and a trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes.
“Average.”
The old man gave his assessment without the slightest reservation.
“Eleven drops of Origin Blood, yet he only produced the strength of twelve Meteors.”
“His force-exertion technique is far too poor.”
The old man looked toward Lu Xinghe, confusion in his voice.
“Commander, in the Central Star Region, anyone who has cultivated even the most basic planetary-level technique can amplify the power of their Origin Blood severalfold.”
“With eleven drops of Origin Blood, he should be able to produce at least thirty or forty Meteor Units of strength.”
“If the cultivation technique suits him well, he might even produce over a hundred!”
“But twelve Meteor Units…”
The old man sighed.
“Among the Seventh Legion’s recruits, that can only be considered bottom-tier.”
Faced with the old man’s evaluation, Su Yu remained calm and did not argue.
He knew just how terrifying the amplification provided by interstellar cultivation techniques could be.
He simply had not cultivated one yet. Moreover, his previous technique, the Void Origin Blood Art, was somewhat outdated and offered only limited physical enhancement. Producing this result was perfectly normal.
However—
Lu Xinghe, standing nearby, was not disappointed like the old man.
On the contrary, he stared at the number on the Strength Testing Stele.
He drew in a sharp breath!
His pupils trembled violently!
The old man knew nothing about Su Yu’s background, but Lu Xinghe knew it all too clearly.
Su Yu had never cultivated an interstellar technique of any kind.
He had not even consumed a single natural treasure!
He was a completely unenhanced blank slate, without any attribute boosts whatsoever!
In the stars, a Meteor-level martial artist who was a pure blank slate would inevitably absorb various resources during cultivation, causing their vital energy to become impure.
For someone with eleven drops of Origin Blood to produce eight or nine Meteor Units of strength would already be considered excellent.
Some second-generation heirs who relied on resources to pile up their cultivation might possess eleven drops of Origin Blood yet produce only the strength of a single drop without relying on a cultivation technique!
But Su Yu?!
Without any amplification from a cultivation technique, he had relied solely on his pure physical body and flawless Origin Blood—
to produce an astonishing twelve Meteor Units of strength!
What did that mean?
It meant that Su Yu’s foundation was so solid that it was almost horrifying, so profound that it defied common sense!
Once he cultivated an interstellar technique, even the most inferior planetary-level technique would amplify his strength tenfold.
With his terrifying conversion efficiency, the power he unleashed would instantly crush every genius of the same level!
“Top-tier…”
“This strength-conversion efficiency is absolutely among the best in the entire starry sky!”
But Lu Xinghe did not explain any of this to the old man.
The fewer people who knew about Su Yu’s trump cards, the better.
“Continue.”
Lu Xinghe forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and spoke in a deliberately calm voice.
“Second test.”
Although the gray-robed old man was not particularly satisfied with Su Yu’s strength, the testing continued.
He waved his hand.
The Strength Testing Stele slowly descended.
In its place appeared a raised platform covered by a formation that emitted a faint glow.
“Second test: martial will.”
The old man looked at Su Yu.
“Stand on it and release your strongest martial will.”
“The formation will provide an accurate rating based on the strength of your will.”
Su Yu nodded.
He stepped onto the formation platform.
At that moment, Lu Xinghe unconsciously held his breath.
He had personally witnessed the spear strike Su Yu had unleashed in the Abyss.
Peak Qi Resonance spear intent!
It had directly erased half of the body of the Great Demon God Guming!
He was eager to see how highly the formation would rate Su Yu’s Qi Resonance spear intent.
Upon the platform,
Su Yu closed his eyes.
There was no surge of qi and blood.
Nor was there any energy leaking out.
He simply stood there in silence.
Buzz—!!!
Without the slightest warning,
an invisible ripple erupted from Su Yu and swept outward in all directions!
In that instant, the entire testing hall seemed to have been forcibly pressed into pause.
The wind stopped.
The light of the formation froze.
Even the breathing of the gray-robed elder and Lu Xinghe was forcibly compressed within their chests by that intangible will!

s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
