177: Chapter 177 Black Hole-Level Technique

What is this??

A Realm!

Absolute control!

Within the range covered by these ripples, Su Yu was the only god!

"This..."

Commander Lu Xinghe's eyes widened, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.

He looked at Su Yu on the high platform.

His brain instantly went into a complete shutdown!

"A Realm?!"

"Is this the freaking Domain Spear Intent?!!"

Commander Lu Xinghe screamed in disbelief in his heart.

He remembered it clearly!

Just a few days ago, in the Wasteland Abyss, the Qi Resonance Spear Intent was clearly what this kid displayed!

How many days had passed since then?!

At most, it hadn't even been a week!

And he's already made a Breakthrough to the Realm level?!

Moreover...

Commander Lu Xinghe felt the indestructible pressure of the Martial Will surrounding him, which felt as if even time itself could not erase it.

How did this look like a newly broken-through Realm?

This freaking felt like the aura that could only be emitted by an old monster who had been immersed in the Realm-level stage for countless eons!

"This talent..."

Commander Lu Xinghe swallowed hard, feeling his scalp tingle.

"It's Heaven-Defying."

"Truly Heaven-Defying!"

As for the Grey-Robed Elder standing to the side...

At this moment, he was so shocked that he took three steps back!

His originally cloudy eyes were filled with unprecedented horror and shock!

"Realm-level Will?!"

The elder's voice was trembling violently.

He looked at the lean, eighteen-year-old youth on the high platform.

His worldview completely collapsed at this moment.

In the starry sky, there were no shortcuts to the cultivation of Martial Will!

It required no resources and no Cultivation Techniques.

It only required solid Comprehension Ability and the tempering of long years!

Many Planet Level or even Stellar Level powerhouses who had lived for tens or hundreds of thousands of years...

Were stuck at the Qi Resonance stage for their entire lives, unable to touch the threshold of the Realm level.

But this kid in front of him!

His bone age was only eighteen!

At eighteen, he had comprehended Domain Spear Intent?!

And it was so freakishly stable?!

"A monster..."

The elder muttered to himself, his beard trembling wildly.

"Commander, where did you dig up this freak?!"

"This comprehension is simply illogical!"

On the high platform.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.

The Domain Spear Intent instantly retracted, as if nothing had ever happened.

Above the Formation, light flashed frantically before finally settling.

[Martial Will Rating: 100 points.]

Su Yu walked down from the high platform, his expression remaining calm.

"What about the third test?"

The Grey-Robed Elder took several deep breaths before he managed to suppress the shock in his heart.

The way he looked at Su Yu had completely changed.

The initial slight was gone, replaced by a solemnity that bordered on awe.

"The third test."

"Testing Mental Energy."

The elder formed hand seals, and the center of the hall changed once again.

A transparent crystal ball slowly floated in mid-air.

"Inject your Mental Energy into this Spirit-Testing Orb."

The elder explained.

"Mental Energy is the core for a Martial Artist to drive Divine Abilities and control battle armor."

"The stronger the Mental Energy, the higher the future ceiling."

Su Yu stepped forward.

His gaze landed on the transparent crystal ball.

A hint of curiosity flickered deep in his eyes.

He knew his Mental Energy was decent, but he also wanted to see what level it could reach under the standards of the starry sky.

*Hum.*

A vast, sea-like wave of Formless Mental Energy instantly surged into the Spirit-Testing Orb!

*Boom—!!!*

The moment it received this Mental Energy, the originally transparent crystal ball...

Suddenly erupted with an extremely blinding white light!

The light was so intense that it illuminated the entire testing hall as if it were broad daylight!

The crystal ball trembled.

Above it, a row of numbers flickered.

Finally, they settled.

[Mental Energy Rating: 50 Meteor Level!]

Silence.

The testing hall fell into a deathly silence once again.

The Grey-Robed Elder stared at the number, his brow furrowing slightly. The fervor he felt from the 'Domain Spear Intent' cooled a bit, replaced by a hint of regret.

"50 Meteor Level?"

The elder shook his head.

"It's stronger than his physical strength, but it's still a pity."

The elder turned to look at Commander Lu Xinghe, his tone filled with confusion.

"Commander, in the starry sky, any decent Genius would be equipped with a Mental Energy Cultivation Technique at the Planet Level or above. Even the most basic technique can provide a ten-fold increase."

"He has eleven drops of source blood. According to starry sky standards, with the boost from a Cultivation Technique, his Divine Soul strength should be at least 110 to be considered qualified."

"This 50... shows he's been somewhat slack in his Mental Energy cultivation, failing to reach even the basic ten-fold increase. Having Realm-level Will without the Divine Soul keeping pace, he'll likely find it difficult to wield high-level Divine Abilities in the future."

However.

Standing to the side, Commander Lu Xinghe was currently frozen in place as if struck by lightning, his brain buzzing!

The elder thought Su Yu was being 'slack.'

But Lu Xinghe knew that Su Yu was a complete blank slate! He hadn't even seen a single scrap of a Mental Energy Cultivation Technique!

"Five times... his original strength is actually five times that of his blood qi?!"

Commander Lu Xinghe was in disbelief!

In the starry sky, the ratio of a Martial Artist's original Divine Soul to blood qi is usually 1:1.

Strong Mental Energy not only allows a Martial Artist to perfectly wield high-level Divine Abilities, but it's also the core threshold for controlling those world-destroying starry sky mechas.

One who could reach 1.5 times without any technique support was a natural-born psychokinesis seed; reaching 2 times made one a Genius that various Star Domains would fight over.

But Su Yu, without any boost, had forcefully achieved a Divine Soul strength of 50, corresponding to his eleven drops of source blood!

What kind of terrifying original foundation was this?!

"If..."

Commander Lu Xinghe calculated in his heart.

"If he just Cultivates a random Planet Level Mental Energy technique and gets a ten-fold boost."

"That would be 500 Meteor Level Mental Energy!"

"If he Cultivates a Black Hole Level technique..."

Commander Lu Xinghe didn't dare to think further.

That would be a terrifying existence capable of instantly destroying the Soul of a Stellar Level powerhouse!

"Enough."

Commander Lu Xinghe took a deep breath, forcefully cutting off the elder's questioning.

He looked at Su Yu.

An unprecedentedly fervent light erupted in his eyes.

Three tests.

Strength seemed average, but was actually freakishly solid at its foundation.

Martial Will, Realm-level, full marks.

Mental Energy, five times original strength, full marks.

This kind of talent—forget the 7th Legion—even looking at the entire Great Chu Star Domain, or even the three major Star Domains of the Human Race...

He was in a class of his own!

"Su Yu."

Commander Lu Xinghe strode up to Su Yu and clapped him heavily on the shoulder.

His tone was filled with undisguised excitement.

"Your tests are all passed."

"And with an extremely excellent rating!"

Hearing these words.

Standing to the side, the Grey-Robed Elder, Examiner, couldn't help but curl his lip, a hidden trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Excellent?

Strength of twelve, Mental Energy of fifty.

Aside from the stunning Martial Will, the other two results were appallingly poor for a recruit; he was severely lopsided!

This counted as extremely excellent?

Examiner grumbled inwardly.

After all that, the Commander brought back someone with connections!

He even wanted to force through a Black Hole Level Cultivation Technique?

This was simply nonsense!

But he was, after all, just an examiner in charge of testing; he didn't dare to openly contradict the Commander's decision and could only remain silent with a dark face.

Commander Lu Xinghe naturally had no time to worry about what Examiner was thinking. He didn't break his word and directly pulled up his authority as a Legion Commander.

"I promised."

"If you scored above ninety in all three categories, I would make an exception and apply for a Black Hole Level Cultivation Technique for you."

Commander Lu Xinghe looked at Su Yu.

"Let's go."

"Follow me to the 7th Legion's Top-Secret Vault."

"I will personally pick out the highest-grade Black Hole Level Cultivation Technique for you!"

"And let you begin comprehending it early!"

Su Yu nodded, a smile flashing in his eyes.

A Black Hole Level Cultivation Technique.

It was his.

As for whether he could learn it?

Su Yu glanced at the balance of over three hundred Meteor units on the System panel.

When the money was in place, there was no technique he couldn't learn.
