Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 641: How Can I Bear to Do It

Although Brother Cheng's realm is only the Extreme Profound Realm First Layer, his identity as a Great Sage is prominent.

The Golden Profound and Silver Profound geniuses may dare to disdain him, but the White Profound Race certainly doesn't dare.

Especially these Protectors, who may not know about the Ultimate Profound Art but know how much the Palace Masters favor him.

"Is the Great Sage here for the examination?"

Brother Cheng nodded with a smile, "That's right. Can we start?"

"Of course, we can."

The leading Protector first replied affirmatively and then, with a bitter face, said, "Well, the Great Hall Master instructed beforehand that your examination difficulty will be set at the Extreme Profound Realm Ninth Layer. I hope you don't mind."

The difficulty of the examination inside is controlled by those of us outside.

Brother Cheng thought to himself, aren't you underestimating me?

Just the Extreme Profound Realm Ninth Layer, equivalent to the Celestial Immortal Ninth Layer of the Immortal Realm.

And yet, you even want to give me a warning first. Is this all the face I have?

Originally, he planned to wave his hand grandly and say the examination is nothing.

But suddenly he decided to tease everyone.

"Sigh, aren't you right? This examination is really deadly."

He intentionally showed a look of distress, "The difficulty of the Extreme Profound Ninth Layer is truly challenging for me."

It's too easy and can't demonstrate my power!

To others who heard this, it seemed like he lacked confidence.

Many disciples then lowered their heads, secretly showing schadenfreude expressions.

They almost burst out laughing.

You're the public enemy openly having a harem in the Divine Hall; you should have been severely struck down long ago.

Now you know to panic?

If you don't work hard usually, it's too late to regret now?

Just like this, under the eager gaze of everyone, the spiritual pattern for examination lit up.

Brother Cheng stepped in, disappearing from everyone's sight.

The function of the spiritual pattern is similar to arrays on that side of the Immortal Realm.

Only it's powered by Profound Stone.

After entering, Brother Cheng didn't even bother drawing a sword, lazily waiting for the trial of the spiritual pattern to appear.

Meanwhile, outside finally resumed the buzz of chatter.

"Ha-ha, he himself lacks confidence." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Of course, participating in an Extreme Profound First Layer examination for the Ninth Layer, isn't that masochistic?"

"What do you think he'll achieve in the examination rating?"

This examination has ratings.

They're extremely poor, unqualified, qualified, excellent, perfect, stunning — six ratings.

According to the Divine Hall's rules, those rated extremely poor will be expelled.

Being unqualified means being demoted, such as a Guard would be demoted to an Apprentice Guard.

Qualified is neither rewarded nor punished.

While excellent receives some minor rewards, like a few Fifth Grade Profound Origin Fruits.

Perfect not only comes with higher rewards but also has a great probability of promotion in rank.

For example, from Guard Captain to Steward.

As for stunning...

This rating can be confirmed as a once-in-a-million-years peerless genius, treated the same as Protectors.

They may even be groomed by the Palace Masters as successors to the next Palace Master.

However, such a rating is extremely rare; it hasn't appeared in millions of years.

Even geniuses like Li Hanyu and Ruan Lingyao only achieved perfect ratings in their examinations.

"No need to ask, definitely unqualified."

"Unqualified? I bet on extremely poor!"

"Not likely, extremely poor is very rare. He's the Purple Gold's Profound Pattern, should have some special tricks."

A rating of extremely poor, resulting in expulsion from the Divine Hall, is indeed rare.

Unless you can't withstand even the first wave after entering.

"Want to bet?"

"I bet he's extremely poor and will be eliminated immediately."

"If it really is extremely poor, there'll be a show to watch,"

Meanwhile, inside, a figure appeared in Brother Cheng's sight.

A slight probe revealed that its realm far exceeded his Profound Power realm, at least it's in the Extreme Profound seventh-eighth layer.

Brother Cheng hadn't even inquired about the passing mode of this examination before, because there was no need.

Now, seeing the figure, he guessed it out, the passing way should be defeating wave after wave of 'enemies.'

This examination trial mode is common in some sects on that side of the Immortal Realm.

Normally, the Extreme Profound Ninth Layer examination would indeed be for an Extreme Profound Ninth Layer cultivator to participate.

Facing the first wave of enemies that are lower by one or two realms, if defeated, it certainly is extremely poor and can be directly eliminated and expelled.

But Brother Cheng is only Extreme Profound First Layer, and the first wave already far exceeded his Profound Power realm.

He still didn't draw his sword.

And as the figure became clearer, Sect Leader Jiang's expression turned into astonishment.

The appearance of that figure looked exactly like him.

Although expressionless, with lifeless eyes, lacking his unique King Bi aura and charm, it indeed replicated his face.

Despite knowing this was an effect created by the spiritual pattern, Brother Cheng still became utterly exasperated.

"Such a handsome person, how can I bear to kill him?"

Even if it's a fake created by spiritual pattern, he couldn't bring himself to attack.

"Damn it!"

The fake across stood there, wooden, not moving a bit.

It seemed to wait for him to attack first before it would move.

Brother Cheng struggled for a long time, too reluctant to draw his sword and finally just gently blew towards that fake.

The spiritual pattern only replicated his appearance, not his entire power.

And in here, his power wasn't sealed, his Quasi-Emperor level Immortal Power remained.

Thus, a single breath was more than enough.

Seeing that fake disappear like a bubble, not able to resist even a bit, blown into pieces and vanished without a trace.

Brother Cheng sighed deeply, a layer of irreparable sadness in his eyes.

"Sigh, truly sinful!"

He touched his heart, didn't it feel like a knife cutting?

And outside at that moment, it caused another buzz of chatter.

"Managed to pass the first wave?"

"How did he get through it?"

"There's something mysterious!"

Outside the spiritual pattern, although they can't see the inside challenge, they can see which wave it reaches.

Currently, it's displayed Sect Leader Jiang reached the second wave, which means he avoided the extremely poor rating and at least he could get an unqualified rating.

This made many who were waiting to laugh feel surprised.

After all, Jiang Cheng is only Extreme Profound First Layer, and the examination he participated in far exceeds his own realm.

"First Layer is two realms lower, but for him, it counts as crossing six small realms in victory."

"This Great Sage indeed has some tricks!"

But there were still some unconvinced.

"What's there to be amazed about? This trial enemy is rigid as heck, the Extreme Profound Seventh Layer only displays the power of a normal living person's Extreme Profound Sixth Layer."

"Exactly, defeating an Extreme Profound Sixth Layer isn't anything to boast about."

"The next wave's difficulty increases several times, he's doomed."

"I bet he'll be out in one breath!"

In the midst of their chatter, Brother Cheng welcomed the second wave.

Seeing two figures at the Extreme Profound Ninth Layer, again looking identical to himself, Brother Cheng was so angry he almost had a heart attack on the spot.

"For someone as handsome as me, having only one is fine, but you even mass-produced them?"

He shook his finger angrily towards the direction outside, "Your examination doing this, it's criminal!"

Of course, the two fakes couldn't feel his mood.

Still standing there dumbly, waiting for his attack.
