Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1107  Taking the Inner Court Disciple Assessment(2)

Once Su Yang entered the island, Chun Hua and the other disciples remained outside to watch as spectators. Since they weren't participating in the assessment, none of them could step foot inside the island. Moreover, there was a massive formation around the island that blocked all kinds of communications, so nobody could contact Su Yang while he was taking the assessment and vice-versa. This was done to prevent cheating.

"Good luck, Senior apprentice-brother Xiao!"

"You can do it!"

The female disciples cheered for him even though they knew their voices wouldn't ever reach him.

"How long do you think it'll take him to pass these two trials—if he even passes?" The male disciples who followed them began muttering to each other.

"I heard he recently entered the Divine Spirit Realm. He probably won't have much trouble defeating the spiritual beasts, but if he's unlucky, he might not find the golden bead. A lot of disciples failed in the same manner, after all."

"I hope he doesn't find the golden bead and fails the assessment. It'd be incredibly entertaining to see how he'll talk his way out of the shame."

However, Su Yang managed to find the golden bead not even fifteen minutes later, to the dismay of these male disciples.

"That lucky fucker! He found the bead so quickly!"

"Is it just me, or did it look like he went directly to its location? It must've been a coincidence, right?"

"The beads are placed randomly, so there's no way for him to know its location beforehand!"

Unbeknownst to these disciples, while the bead would indeed be placed in a random location, the locations themselves were not chosen randomly. Each spot was carefully selected, and there were exactly 690 different possible locations.

Moreover, the golden bead emitted a faint and subtle aura that Su Yang could detect even with his eyes closed.

After acquiring the golden bead, Su Yang immediately went to find a Divine Spirit Realm spiritual beast to hunt.

He encountered one about ten minutes later. Without even stopping to prepare for battle, Su Yang flew straight at the spiritual beast.

Sha!

The spiritual beast died from a single sword swing. After killing the spiritual beast, Su Yang decapitated it and stowed away its head for proof later.

In less than half an hour, Su Yang had completed the first two trials, leaving the onlookers speechless.

"How long did that take him?! This must be a record!"

"My heavens! Half an hour! No, it's not even half an hour!"

"What kind of dogshit luck does he have?!"

"Calm down… he still has one more trial to pass before he can become an Inner Court disciple officially," one of the male disciples said.

"Who the hell even invited you guys? You're ruining the mood!" The female disciples started cursing at them.

"There's no rule in the sect stating we must be invited to watch someone participate in the Inner Court disciple assessment." They rebuked.

"That's right! If you don't like it, you can leave!"

"What did you say?!"

Chun Hua shook her head at the Outer Court disciples' bickering.

Meanwhile, Su Yang returned to the building with the sect elder.

"What? Are you giving up already? It hasn't even been half an hour since you started." The Sect Elder spoke in a mocking tone. She truly believed that Su Yang wanted to give up since there was no way he'd completed the two trials in half an hour.

However, Su Yang retrieved the decapitated head of the Divine Spirit Realm he hunted, as well as the golden bead, and placed them before the Sect Elder.

"..."

The Sect Elder nearly fell off her chair after seeing the two objects.

"I-impossible! You collected the golden bead and killed a Divine Spirit Realm spiritual beast in less than half an hour?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.

Even a Sect Elder would not be able to achieve such a ridiculously fast time, much less an Outer Court disciple.

"What can I say besides that I got really lucky." Su Yang casually shrugged.

"W-wait a moment! I need to verify with the others first!" The Sect Elder quickly retrieved a communication jade slip and began talking into it.

Su Yang wasn't alone on the island during the trial. There were several Sect Elders spectating and verifying his every movement from the shadows. Naturally, Su Yang was aware of their presence, but he acted like he didn't.

A few minutes later, after receiving confirmation from all of the verifiers that Su Yang had really completed the two tasks without cheating, the Sect Elder turned to look at Su Yang with a somewhat displeased expression.

"The third trial should be testing the quality of my Yang Qi to see if I qualify. I am already the Yang Qi King, so does that mean I automatically pass the third trial?" Su Yang suddenly inquired,

The Sect Elder frowned and sneered, "Where did you learn such outdated information? That might have been the case several thousand years ago, but things are different now."

"Seriously?" Su Yang's eyes widened with surprise.

"For the third trial, you'll need to cultivate with a Pleasure Evaluation Doll and acquire a passable grade."

"..."

Su Yang was speechless. Pleasure Evaluation Dolls are used to test a dual cultivator's techniques on a technical level. They're essentially sex dolls with the function to perfectly analyze someone's level of skills and grade their ability to satisfy their partners.

However, the Pleasure Evaluation Dolls used to be reserved for the Core Disciple assessment, so it baffled Su Yang to see it being used for the Inner Court assessment.

'I guess the Boundless Yin Yang Sect had to step it up to not fall behind their competition…' Su Yang sighed inwardly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Dual cultivation sects began gaining popularity as Su Yang's influence grew. The Boundless Yin Yang Sect, once unrivaled, now faced significant competition from numerous powerful dual cultivation sects that had emerged around the Four Divine Heavens over time. As a result, the Boundless Yin Yang Sect had to increase their standards.
