Another Test of Limits

"No way?"

"Is he really the legendary peerless prodigy?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a peerless prodigy appear in the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect?"

"Right, it must be an illusion, a facade he’s created to deceive everyone."

"Does anyone know if the top ten prodigies on the Heavenly Pride Ranking have taken the advanced test?"

"Hmm, not sure, but those prodigies probably have."

"Has anyone ever caused such a commotion?"

"Well… never heard of it."

Even those ten peerless prodigies likely never triggered such a phenomenon—yet Chen Chang'an did?

Could it really be possible?

"Wait!"

"What’s the limit of the advanced test monument?" Da Huang asked curiously.

"Limit?"

"The limit of the advanced test monument… honestly, no one really knows. Maybe Immortal Emperor Peak?"

"Or maybe not. It’s unclear because no one has ever broken through its limit before."

"You’re not suggesting that the Grand Elder might break the monument’s limit, are you?"

"Well…"

Immortal Emperor Peak?

Seeing the stunned expressions of the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect disciples, Da Huang wasn’t entirely sure either.

He nodded, then shook his head.

Chen Chang'an was monstrously strong, but surely not at the level of Immortal Emperor Peak.

Suddenly!

The entire testing hall erupted in golden light, as if completely enveloped by it.

And this radiance was emanating from the test monument in front of Chen Chang'an.

"It’s over!"

"We lost!"

"We’re definitely going to lose!"

"What do you mean ‘probably’? We’re absolutely going to lose!"

"Damn it, how is he so freakishly strong?"

"No wonder he became the Grand Elder of the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect. He’s truly extraordinary."

"Seriously, how did he do it? Under 30,000 years old, only at Golden Immortal Realm’s fifth level, yet he made the advanced test monument react like this?"

"How the hell should I know? We’d better start thinking about how to face the consequences of this bet."

The moment the golden light appeared, they could no longer deceive themselves. Everyone knew—they had lost.

And lost miserably!

But now, they were even more curious: just how high was Chen Chang'an’s combat power to make the advanced test monument react like this?

"The Grand Elder… is actually this strong?"

"Even… even stronger than before?"

The Nine Clouds Immortal Sect disciples knew about Chen Chang'an’s reincarnation and his true cultivation level—Golden Immortal Realm, which couldn’t be faked.

"Before? That was nothing!"

"Let me tell you, the current Chen Chang'an is the real deal."

"Absolutely invincible!"

"Absolutely peerless!"

Da Huang was the ultimate Chen Chang'an fanboy. In his eyes, Chen Chang'an was unrivaled, unmatched.

Even though Chen Tian from back then was also freakishly strong, in Da Huang’s heart, Chen Chang'an was even more monstrous.

"So, how strong do you think the Grand Elder really is?"

"Yeah, give us some insider info so we can brace ourselves."

The Nine Clouds Immortal Sect disciples stared at Da Huang eagerly, hoping for some exclusive details.

"How strong?"

"Let’s just say… it’ll blind your dog eyes," Da Huang said smugly.

Dog eyes?

Yours are the real dog eyes!

"The golden light’s fading!"

"The test results… should be out now, right?"

As the golden light completely dissipated, everyone’s hearts clenched in anticipation.

"It’s here!"

The test monument finally displayed the results, and at this moment, Da Huang was even more excited than the others.

Finally!

After following Chen Chang'an for so long, he was about to witness his true combat power.

"Name: Chen Chang'an, Age: 10,045 years, Cultivation: Golden Immortal Realm fifth level, Combat Power: One Million Stars, Pass!"

10,045 years old? Golden Immortal Realm fifth level, yet combat power of one million stars?

What kind of monster was this?

How? How was this possible?

Upon seeing Chen Chang'an’s test results, everyone present was dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

Too young. Too low in cultivation. Too absurdly high in combat power.

Meanwhile, the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect disciples were so exhilarated they nearly fainted.

One million!

A full one million combat power!

To put it in perspective, 300,000 stars was the combat power of a Heavenly Immortal Realm peak expert, while the limit for a Celestial King Realm peak was 800,000.

Chen Chang'an’s one million stars? That was undoubtedly the level of an Immortal Emperor—and not just any ordinary Immortal Emperor.

"Who would’ve thought Chen Chang'an was this young?"

"Young age aside, his cultivation really is only Golden Immortal Realm fifth level."

"But why is his combat power so ridiculously high?"

"Why?"

No one could understand. No one dared to believe it.

At this moment, the overseer of the testing hall stepped forward.

His gaze at Chen Chang'an was equally fervent as he spoke:

"One million… may not be his true combat power."

Huh?

What did that mean?

One million wasn’t his real combat power?

Why would he say that?

Chen Chang'an himself glanced at the man curiously. Truthfully, he wasn’t entirely satisfied with the test result either.

But the overseer’s words seemed to hint at something the others didn’t know.

"What do you mean?"

"Yeah, why isn’t it his true combat power?"

"The test monument already displayed it, didn’t it?"

"And Chen Chang'an didn’t break the monument’s limit, right?"

"Is there something we don’t know?"

Facing their questions, the overseer smiled and explained:

"When the advanced test monument was first created, it was assumed that even the most monstrous prodigies under 30,000 years old would have limited combat power."

"While one million stars isn’t the monument’s actual limit…"

"It is the display limit for test results."

What?

The advanced test monument’s result display limit was one million stars?

Meaning Chen Chang'an had reached the display limit—not his actual power limit?

Holy hell!

How absurdly strong was this guy?!

"So, you’re saying no one has ever reached one million stars in test results before?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.

"Indeed, no one has."

"The current top ten prodigies on the Heavenly Pride Ranking were strong during their first tests, but since they took them early, their results weren’t this exaggerated."

"Afterward, they moved on to the Heavenly Pride Tower challenges and never took the test again."

"Their lack of such results doesn’t mean their true strength is lacking."

Hearing this, Chen Chang'an nodded in agreement.

During their first tests, none of them were likely this outrageous—except for Chen Chang'an himself.

Chen Chang'an turned to face the stunned crowd, smiling faintly as he asked, "When do you plan to honor your bet?"
