Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 47: Only screening, no training
Chen Yue, who witnessed the black ball of light growing continuously after absorbing his original force, immediately made a judgment.

"This can't go on like this!"

He quickly pulled out a prepared SS series throwing knife from his waist.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yue concentrated all his energy and then threw the flying knife fiercely.

His body then quickly retreated to prevent any sudden situation.

The flying knife pierced through the night sky, leaving a streak of silver light and headed straight for the dark ball of light.

"Gudu——"

When the flying knife was thrown out, it made only an inaudible sound, like a small stone thrown into a pond.

Chen Yue stood in the distance, watching the development of the situation intently.

But in an instant, the SS-level flying knife that could cut the skin of a king-level monster was easily swallowed up by the black ball of light without causing any vibration.

"It's really tricky..."

Chen Yue muttered softly, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"Huhuhu~"

The sound of wind was stirring in his ears, and Chen Yue stared at the black ball of light vigilantly.

After expanding to a certain limit, the light ball suddenly stopped and no longer grew.

Then, it began to move strangely, very slowly at first, with no pattern to be found.

Sudden--

Its speed increased rapidly and it turned into a black lightning, rushing straight towards Chen Yue.

Chen Yue had already been on guard against this black ball of light. Feeling its acceleration, he reacted quickly.

His figure flashed, trying to avoid this ominous ball of light.

however--

This black ball of light seemed to have life and seemed to be able to see through his every move.

It actually followed Chen Yue closely, like a shadow, and could not be shaken off.

Fortunately, the ball of light did not continue to move at a constant high speed.

Every time it accelerates to the limit, it will suddenly slow down, then accelerate again, and repeat this cycle.

And in each chase, Chen Yue also pushed his instantaneous speed, maximum speed and reaction speed to the extreme.

As time passed, Chen Yue's breathing began to become rapid and sweat dripped down his forehead.

Chen Yue knew that his Force was rapidly approaching the brink of exhaustion.

"We have to think of a way." Countless tactics flashed through Chen Yue's mind like lightning.

At this moment, his eyes inadvertently swept across the surrounding walls, and there seemed to be some runes flickering slightly on those walls.

"Strength, speed, endurance..."

"Force consumption is a test of endurance, and the black light ball is a test of speed!"

"That power...?"

"Could it be."

A bold idea arose in his mind.

Without time to hesitate, Chen Yue grabbed the Shadow Blade.

He said silently in his heart: "Let's fight!"

He began to shuttle between the black light ball and the wall at an astonishing speed.

Every time he came to a wall, he swung his knife violently.

"Ding Dong——"

As the tip of the knife collided with the runes on the wall, sparks flew everywhere like blooming fireworks.

Chen Yue was pleasantly surprised to find that every time he attacked, the size of the black light ball would shrink slightly.

"So that's how it is. These runes are connected to the black ball. As long as we destroy them, the black ball will disappear!" He suddenly realized.

"Fifth level of "Xingyao"!" Chen Yue shouted loudly, pushing his strength to the limit.

"Break it for me!" He roared repeatedly, and his voice echoed in the empty room.

As time passed, the runes on the wall were broken one by one, and the black light ball gradually shrank to only a faint light.

Chen Yue felt that the Shadow Blade in his hand was about to be shaken away, his original force was almost exhausted, and his whole body seemed to be crushed by a huge pressure. "It's almost there." Chen Yue gritted his teeth and insisted.

He held the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand, his will was as firm as iron, and he knew that at this moment, he must not fall down.

With one final swing of the knife, the last rune on the wall shattered with a sharp "crack".

The huge black ball of light, like a lake from which the last drop of water had been drained, completely disappeared.

Chen Yue's body then fell limply to the ground. He let out a long sigh, his eyes revealing a bit of relaxation and joy.

The illusion space gradually dissipated, revealing Chen Yue's tired but satisfied smile.

--------

When the light and shadow faded away, Chen Yue found that he was back in the spacious black hall.

[Congratulations on passing the assessment task]

[Strength rating: Excellent]

[Speed ​​rating: Special]

[Endurance rating: Excellent]

【Please go straight along the passage in front of you】

【Come to me to receive the assessment reward】

The wall in front began to crack gradually, and the cracks gradually expanded, eventually forming a passage about three to four meters wide.

This deep and mysterious passage evokes the desire to explore the unknown depths. At the end of the passage, the light is colorful and exudes an alluring glow.

"Go and get the reward!" Chen Yue was a little excited.

After passing through a dark passage, Chen Yue quickly entered a magnificent hall.

The colorful lights swirl and flow in the hall, dazzling like a dream, mysterious and immersive.

"Buzz-"

The dazzling colorful lights gathered in the center, quickly outlining a vague huge human figure, and finally transformed into a shining bald crystal man.

【! @#￥%……&*】

With a smile, the bald crystal man spoke a word.

Its appearance is very delicate, comparable to that of a handsome human.

The communication watch on Chen Yue's wrist quickly translated it: "Hello, Chen Yue."

At this time, Chen Yue fell into deep thought.

In the original novel, Luo Feng entered the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins and was detected to have a brain width of 21, thus entering the elite channel to carry out the death mission.

Chen Yue remembered that Luo Feng's task required him to learn the master's secret technique on the wall of the secret room - "Basic 312 Styles".

In the end, it took Luo Feng one year and three months, and only after his mental power amplitude reached 16, did he complete the assessment.

But Chen Yue was obviously different this time.

His physical development level exceeded the threshold requirement of 16, so he was directly selected for the assessment.

From this we can see that the experiences of warriors and spiritualists in the ancient civilization ruins No. 9 are fundamentally different.

After the spiritual master enters, there is a process of training first and then assessment.

Of course, this may be related to Huyan Bo being a spiritual master.

When warriors enter, they will be directly assessed.

Only screening, not cultivation!
Those who fail will be eliminated immediately!

No wonder I haven't heard of any other warriors who can trigger the warrior elite channel.

Seeing that Chen Yue didn't say anything, the bald crystal man mistakenly thought that he was still in shock.

It said calmly: "Don't be surprised. I have been monitoring the history of human development on your planet, including the evolution of your writing, cultural changes, and historical rise and fall, without missing a single item. Therefore, I naturally mastered your language."

The bald crystal man still smiled and explained, "In order to make it easier for you to accept, I choose to talk to you in the form of a human."

Chen Yue calmed his mind and asked some other questions out of curiosity. The bald crystal man gave detailed answers without any hesitation.

Suddenly, the bald crystal man's eyes fell on the weapon on Chen Yue's chest.

He seemed lost in memory.
