Chapter 106 - Tablet of Comprehension (1/2)

After a moment of silence, Xue Jiye responded to Yuan's question regarding the special jade slip, ”In order to obtain the special jade slip, you must comprehend at least 70 percent of the cultivation technique. Furthermore, you have only 7 days to study the stone tablet.”

”Of course, the better your results, the better cultivation technique you'll get to learn, but that also means you'll need much longer to understand the technique, as stronger cultivation techniques are more often than not more complex and profound. However, no matter what cultivation technique the stone tablet gives you, the requirements are the same.”

”I understand,” Yuan nodded.

”Good. Do you have any more questions? If you do not, you may begin the test. The moment the Tablet of Comprehension reveals your cultivation technique is the moment your timer begins.” she asked him.

”How do I know how much of the cultivation technique I have comprehended in the end?” Yuan asked her.

”The Tablet of Comprehension will let us know the results by the light it emits. A white glow means you have comprehended 10 percent of the cultivation technique which is required for you to pass this test. A green glow means you have understood 25 percent of the technique. It will glow an azure-colored light past 50 percent and a red light at 70 percent. At 80 percent, the stone tablet will emit a black light, and 90 percent will emit a golden light.”

”What about 100 percent?” Yuan asked her out of curiosity.

”100 percent? That has never happened before so I don't know. In fact, nobody knows what will happen— not even the Founder who only managed to comprehend 90 percent in seven days.” Xue Jiye shook her head.

Sometime later, Yuan walked to the tall stone tablet and stood before it.

”It's assessing your results and picking the perfect technique for you so give it a few minutes,” Xue Jiye said to him as she pulled out a chair from her spatial ring before sitting down and watching him with a nonchalant expression on her face.

'Hm? Wait a second… This guy… This guy is a fifth level Spirit Warrior?! His cultivation is even higher than mine— two levels higher!' Xue Jiye was shocked when she realized Yuan's cultivation base.

'Just how old is this guy? His voice sounded very young— even younger than me!' Xue Jiye cried inwardly.

Meanwhile, in the spectators' room, the sect elders there started to gamble with each other.

”I am betting 100 contribution points that he'll achieve 50 percent understanding in 7 days!”

”I will bet 50 contribution points that he will reach 70 percent!”

”Since you guys are favoring him so much, I shall do the opposite! 100 contribution points that he'll reach less than 50 percent!”

”One thousand contribution points that he'll reach 90 percent.” Long Yijun suddenly joined the fun, dumbfounding the sect elders.

”1,000 contribution points? That's ten years' worth of contribution points!” The sect elders exclaimed.

”How about you, Elder Xuan? Wanna make a bet? Whoever guesses correctly will obtain all contribution points placed in this bet.”
