Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Yang Xian's consciousness slowly sank, eventually falling into an endless, pitch-black space.

"Is this the interior of the 'Enlightenment Stone'?"

He looked around.

It is said that this strange stone will recommend the most suitable cultivation method for a martial artist from among the thousands of cultivation techniques it contains, based on the martial artist's talent, physique, and temperament.

Yang Xian was also curious about what kind of things he could "comprehend" with his F-level talent.

Just as he was pondering this, faint lights suddenly appeared in the surrounding darkness.

Those points of light floated slowly, swirling and rotating around Yang Xian; they were the countless cultivation techniques "copied" into the Enlightenment Stone.

The intensity of the light directly corresponds to the grade of the cultivation technique.

Yang Xian looked around and found that what surrounded him were mostly dim, firefly-like points of light.

He estimated that most of these cultivation techniques were second-rate "common" ones, with at most one or two at the Xuan level, which were the worst of the low-grade ones.

Yang Xian couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"That makes sense, after all, I have an F-rank talent!"

"It's perfectly normal for someone universally recognized as 'uncultivable' to be rejected by these advanced cultivation methods."

Just then.

Two of the brightest lights slowly hovered in front of Yang Xian.

"Is this the cultivation method recommended to me by the Enlightenment Stone? I'd like to see what it recommends..."

Yang Xian stretched out his fingers and pointed at the two faint lights respectively.

"The Rock Secret" is a common book.

Effects of the technique: It can slightly strengthen the body, and after practicing it, one will be stronger than an ordinary person.

"The Art of Sleeplessness," a common book.

Effects of the practice: It can slightly improve mental resilience, and after practicing it, one can sleep a few hours less than an ordinary person.

Yang Xian fell completely silent, unable to resist making a comment.

"Good heavens!"

"This broken rock actually recommended some really good stuff!"

"One can be used to study 'civil engineering,' and the other can be used to work overtime as a corporate slave."

"If I had these two divine skills in my past life, I wouldn't have been torn to pieces by those scroll kings..."

------

Meanwhile, in the square outside.

"good!"

Principal Huang Meng stood with his hands behind his back, silently watching Yang Xian, who was sitting cross-legged.

Judging from Yang Xian's serious and focused expression, he must be studying the techniques left behind by other seniors, right?

That makes sense. A genius like him, one in a million, would probably have countless high-level cultivation techniques vying for him to learn. He must be overwhelmed with choices right now.

It's okay, take your time choosing, there's no rush!

Even if you don't comprehend other divine-level techniques in the end, it doesn't matter. Being able to draw some inspiration from those heavenly-level techniques is still very beneficial.

But little did Principal Huang Meng know that the peerless genius in his eyes was currently surrounded by a group of "ordinary" cultivation techniques and couldn't get away.

Time passed by, second by second.

In the square, students gradually opened their eyes.

Clearly, they had all chosen their preferred cultivation methods.

What did you choose?

"Hehe, not bad luck, one of them is a top-grade Earth-level skill called 'Swift Wind Step,' which will make running around faster from now on!"

"I chose three books. The best one is the mid-grade Earth-level Bagua Palm. It's alright, better than nothing."

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shone from the crowd without warning!

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

[What was that? It suddenly flashed before my eyes!]

I thought it was a problem with my phone screen, but it turns out you guys were also affected by the flashing light!

[This...this golden light! If nothing unexpected happens, someone has comprehended a 'divine-level cultivation technique'!]

[God-level? Isn't that a legendary rank above Heaven-level?]

Yes! Moreover, the difficulty of comprehending a divine-level technique far exceeds that of a heavenly-level technique. To learn a divine-level technique, one needs not only talent but also destiny! If the technique senses a similarity between you and its original owner, it will proactively come to recognize you as its master...

[If one is not destined for it, even if the creator of the technique himself were to teach it, it would be absolutely impossible to learn. This is one of the important reasons why divine-level techniques are so rare.]

Is it really that strict? My God, who is so lucky?

The last time such a scene occurred was more than 20 years ago, when someone comprehended a "god-level skill" during the school opening ceremony.

The situation where one understands it on the first try is extremely rare.

All eyes turned to the source of the golden light.

The live stream camera quickly followed, giving it a close-up.

In the video, a girl with short, gray hair slowly opens her eyes.

It was Nan Shu Nian.

She didn't seem particularly excited about obtaining a divine-level cultivation technique.

Principal Huang Meng also turned his gaze over: "The Nan family's little girl?"

Originally, he had placed all his hopes on Yang Xian alone, but unexpectedly, he gained something unexpected.

First there was Bai Chuyi with SS-level talent, and now there's Nan Shunian who has mastered a god-level technique.

Sure enough, the people following Yang Xian were all extraordinary!

This kid is practically a walking lucky charm!

On the other side, several instructors were talking quietly.

"The quality of this year's students is really good; someone actually comprehended a divine-level cultivation technique."

"Yeah, it's so much better than Canglan University next door. I just checked their live stream, and the enlightenment phase ended a long time ago. Forget about god-level, there isn't even a single high-grade heaven-level expert."

"Divine-level cultivation techniques aren't so easy to comprehend. Our Chengwu sect just happened to produce one; it's impossible to have one every year."

"Aren't there still new students admitted by Principal Huang?"

"This isn't Bai Chuyi's first encounter with the 'Enlightenment Stone.' The principal brought her here several times before accepting her as a disciple. Those who understand, understand the power of opportunity..."

"I'd be content if even one student grasped this concept this year!"

"That's right, then we can wrap up once the process is complete."

Their conversation reached Principal Huang's ears word for word.

knock off?

It’s just a good show.

It's certainly a good thing that the little girl from the Nan family was able to comprehend a divine-level cultivation technique, but at most it's just icing on the cake.

The real protagonist today is someone else.

Principal Huang's gaze fell on Yang Xian again, his face full of anticipation.

"Even if he doesn't comprehend other divine-level techniques, his three divine-level techniques will come back to him on their own."

The Enlightenment Stone, to put it simply, is a huge database of cultivation techniques.

Once Yang Xian's three divine-level martial arts techniques were copied into the database, it was as if they had entered the database.

Now, the original owner of the cultivation technique is here, and the database has detected a match, so it will naturally react.

This is a form of "recognizing a master"!

"The light emanating from three divine-level cultivation techniques—I've never witnessed anything like it before!"

"It might even turn the entire sky above Chengwu University golden..."
