Death… And Me

Chapter 1163 - Smashing

Cassia then shrugged her shoulders as she said in response, ”Can you prove it?”

”This...” Immediately, that elder went silent. Prove? Prove how? ”Can...we check their rooms to see if their Anti-Divine Energy and Soul Power Barriers are working?” That was the only thing he could come up with.

Cassia couldnʼt help but laugh out loud in response. ”Hahaha! Are you an idiot? Do you think I havenʼt tested that already? I did that as soon as they comprehended the second skill. Even with that, the Formation Masters didnʼt find anything wrong with the barriers.”

Cassia then mentioned, ”Also, so what if it isnʼt working? Have you checked their cultivation? Theyʼre both at the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. With the concentration of Divine Energy in our Sacred Land, how far do you think their Divine Sense and Soul Power Scan can go? Take a look at how far they are from each other. Itʼs simply impossible for their Divine Sense and Soul Power Scan to get that far.”

”Thatʼs not all,” Cassia continued. ”My Sacred Land members are there right now. If those twins were using Divine Sense or Soul Power Scan to communicate, they would first touch these members before reaching each other. All the elders there are far above in cultivation than the twins. Do you think they wouldnʼt feel the twinsʼ Divine Sense if it was escaping the room?”

”I...” That elder didnʼt know what to say. Not only him, but all the others also looked away. Indeed, with all these factors put together, it shouldnʼt be possible for them to communicate.

”Could it be that theyʼre using Thoughts Transmission Talismans?” Someone else wondered.

Cassia shook her head as she replied, ”Let alone that we would have seen it, the Anti-Divine Sense and Soul Power Barrier also prevents those talismans from working.” With that, Cassia sighed as she said, ”Sure, I also believe they have some way of communication. However, our Sacred Land works on facts. If none of you can tell how they can communicate, then it is all but speculation.”

Cassia then turned her attention back to the test rooms. ʼStill, why would those twins act in this way? If they wanted to keep it a secret that they can communicate, they could simply choose different skills to learn in sequence. However, the moment Rean or Roan finishes comprehending a skill, the other goes and finishes comprehending the same one in just a few minutes. This is simply a blatant method of saying that they can communicate.ʼ

Cassia was right. They were doing it on purpose. The reason was very simple. They just wanted to see if someone could find out how they did that. If that was the case, they would have one more thing to investigate while they were in the Sacred Land. Sister Orb also approved that plan as it would mean the systemʼs methods had some flaws. Killing two birds with one stone, she thought.

[Hehehe! Even the Sacred Land canʼt find out about your Soul Connection. Thatʼs a good thing. You can continue to rely on it in the future for communication in secret.]

Rean agreed with Sister Orb, but he had to admit he felt a little nervous. ʼThis was quite dangerous, in my opinion. What if they found out? We might have gotten into trouble. No, to be more specific, we can still get into trouble. After all, the Sacred Land elders will definitely ask about it.ʼ

Roan shook his head in response. ʼItʼs fine. For now, letʼs just focus on finishing this test. We donʼt know how good the comprehension ability of the other cultivators are, after all. They might be even faster than the two of us are. If the Sacred Land really comes out to ask, we can just give out some excuse. Itʼs not like they can find out how it works anyway.ʼ

Rean nodded after hearing that. ʼAlright, letʼs focus.ʼ

Well, it went without saying that the twins simply smashed the comprehension test. They finished comprehending the full set of ten neutral skills in just seven hours! To put it in comparison, Liana from Tenke Country took thirteen hours to comprehend all ten skills. That meant that even if they didnʼt share information, they would have definitely finished in the top ten without a doubt.

Venali was the fourth one to finish, much to his dismay. Not only wasnʼt he first, but he wasnʼt second or third either, only fourth! He was supposed to be the best disciple of Huring Country, but he couldnʼt beat a girl younger and with lower cultivation than him. Let alone the twins, who had cultivations even lower than Liana, although they were of similar age to her.

The fifth one was Dissiele from Huring Country, while the sixth one was Hedoi from Klacks Country. However, the seventh, eighth, and ninth were not part of the top countries, just like Rean and Roan. They were all from medium and small countries. At least the tenth position was from a top country. Fulia Volder took that position. As for the rest, it didnʼt matter. They had all become Outer Sacred Land disciples regardless of whether they were eleventh or three hundredth.

*Plack!*

Cassia then clapped her hands as she looked at all the participants. ”Such a surprise from this recruitment this year. The top countries still got a lot more of their disciples to join our Sacred Lands as always. However, to think that only five of the top ten cultivators would be part of them. Sure enough, you never know where talent can appear. Iʼm glad I used this comprehension test and fished out these hidden talents.”

With that, she looked at the top ten cultivators. ”Roan, Rean, Liana, Venali, Dissiele, Hedoi, Qeijada, Polamino, Varsia, and Fulia. Those ten are now accepted into the Inner Sacred Land. As for the rest, all of you can become Outer Sacred Land disciples. Donʼt look down on this position. Not only can you fight your way up, but even Outer Disciples are well treated here. Iʼm looking forward to your performances.”

Cassia then smiled before saying, ”Alright, our Sacred Land prepared a banquet for everyone to enjoy.. Everyone is free to leave or take part in it. Letʼs go!”
