Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

Lei Wuji stood in the center of the main hall.

He showed no impatience despite the elder's hesitation, remaining composed as if he were recounting an ordinary little matter.

"Assessment of ability and assessment of comprehension."

Lei Wuji spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the empty Thunderfire Hall.

"First and foremost, it's about strength."

"The inheritance of the Realm Lord level is the foundation of my Thunderfire Peak, and the supreme foundation for suppressing the fortune of a peak."

Lei Wuji raised his head and looked directly at the Grand Elder.

"To take it, your strength must be at least at the Domain Lord level."

His logic was crystal clear, without any element of sophistry or illogical reasoning.

"Master."

"Our Thunderfire Peak has quite a few disciples and elders who have reached the Domain Lord level."

"If an outsider with only the cultivation level of a celestial or black hole level were to easily take away the inheritance of the realm lord."

Lei Wuji's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

"That's an insult to us."

"It is also an insult to all those who have painstakingly cultivated the laws of thunder in our Thunderfire Peak lineage."

A brief silence fell over the main hall.

The Grand Elder sat in the main seat, his deep gaze fixed on his eldest disciple.

He knew that Lei Wuji was right.

The Primordial Divine Martial Sect is ultimately a place that values ​​strength above all else.

Without sufficient strength, possessing the highest level of inheritance will only attract endless covetousness and resentment.

The Grand Elder remained silent for a moment.

In his mind, the image of Su Yu instantly killing the half-step domain lord gatekeeper with a single shot on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel flashed through his mind.

That overwhelming power of the Dao-transforming spear intent, and that astonishingly strong pressure of primordial blood.

"Domain Lord level strength..."

The Grand Elder secretly plotted in his heart.

"That kid's true combat strength has definitely reached the threshold of the Domain Lord level, and may even surpass it."

"This ability test is not too harsh for him."

Thinking of this, the Grand Elder nodded slightly.

"Can."

The elder's voice was steady and powerful.

"Reaching the level of a Domain Lord is the most basic requirement for obtaining the inheritance of a Realm Lord."

"Your teacher grants permission."

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's agreement, Lei Wuji's expression remained completely unchanged.

It was as if all of this was within his expectations.

He bowed slightly and then presented his second condition.

"Secondly, it is an assessment of comprehension."

A glint of hidden brilliance flashed in Lei Wuji's eyes.

"The Nine Heavens Annihilation Thunder Scripture, a world-lord level inheritance, is obscure, difficult to understand, and extremely dangerous."

"Without exceptional, lightning-like comprehension, forcing oneself to cultivate will only lead to self-destruction."

Lei Wuji said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Therefore, I propose..."

"The comprehension test will use the one from our Thunderfire Peak forbidden area—"

"Nine Heavens Annihilation Tribulation Lightning!"

boom!

Upon hearing this name, the Grand Elder's pupils constricted sharply.

Even the shimmering array patterns on the surrounding walls seemed to tremble violently because of these six words.

The annihilating lightning of the Nine Heavens!

The Supreme Tribulation Lightning ranks third on the Universe Thunder Ranking!

This was no ordinary thunder, but a pure law of destruction born from the very origin of the universe when it destroyed a star field!

Its power is so great that it inspires despair.

Even a mere wisp of scattered lightning power would be enough to instantly cleave a peak Black Hole-level expert with tens of millions of source blood into nothingness!

Even more terrifying is that it not only destroys the physical body, but also annihilates the soul!

Even a true world lord-level powerhouse would have to retreat and avoid directly confronting this fully formed strange lightning!

"Are you crazy?"

The elder frowned, his voice carrying a rare hint of sternness.

"Using strange lightning as an assessment?"

"You know better than anyone how violent that strange lightning is!"

"A single misstep could lead to death and the annihilation of one's cultivation!"

Lei Wuji remained unmoved in the face of the Grand Elder's questioning.

He stood quietly in place, presenting his impeccable reasoning.

"Master."

"The core of the Nine Heavens Annihilation Thunder Scripture is to draw tribulation thunder into the body and temper the body of annihilation thunder."

"If you don't even have the courage and understanding to face and comprehend the strange lightning."

"Then what will he use to cultivate the World Lord's inheritance?"

Lei Wuji's tone was exceptionally rational.

"This is not a disciple deliberately making things difficult for me."

"It is a fundamental requirement of inheritance itself."

The Grand Elder remained silent.

Lei Wuji's words were all reasonable and irrefutable.

Indeed, without subduing the strange thunder, one cannot even get close to the threshold of the "Nine Heavens Annihilation Thunder Scripture".

but.

The elder looked at his calm and reserved eldest disciple, but his mind was as clear as a mirror.

Having lived for millions of years, how could he not see through Lei Wuji's little scheme hidden behind these grand principles?

A calculated scheme!

This was a perfectly orchestrated scheme by Lei Wuji!

Lei Wuji grew up on Leihuo Peak from a young age. He sat in meditation on the edge of that Nine Heavens Annihilation Tribulation Lightning for a full 90,000 years!

Ninety thousand years of sedimentation.

Ninety thousand years of thunderous baptism.

Lei Wuji was already intimately familiar with the habits and law fluctuations of that strange lightning.

He's just one step away from scoring!

If he were given a few thousand more years, he would be absolutely certain that he could grasp even a trace of the origin of the strange lightning!

At that time.

He was already at the Domain Lord level, and he also possessed a trace of strange lightning.

Wouldn't that mean the inheritance of the Realm Lord would fall right into his own hands?

As the saying goes, those who are near the water get the moon first.

No matter how monstrous Su Yu's talent or how extraordinary his comprehension, he is still a genius.

He was, after all, just an eighteen-year-old boy who had just arrived at the Taichu Divine Martial Sect.

He had never even seen what Yi Lei looked like before!

How can a newcomer with no foundation in lightning surpass Lei Wuji, who has been sitting in meditation for 90,000 years, in his comprehension of strange lightning in a short period of time?

This doesn't make any sense!

This is completely contrary to the common sense of the laws of the universe!

"The boundless, the boundless."

The Grand Elder sighed inwardly.

"Your plan is so well-thought-out that even your teacher can't find fault with it."

The elder did not expose his disciple's ulterior motives.

On the contrary, he even somewhat admired Lei Wuji's methods.

No crying, no fussing, no scheming.

Instead, they use the most upright rules and their own 90,000-year-old heritage to crush their opponents!

This is the composure and demeanor that the eldest disciple of Lei Huo Feng should possess.

not to mention.

The Grand Elder himself actually preferred to leave the inheritance to Lei Wuji.

After all, he was an apprentice he had watched grow up, and he knew him inside and out.

"it is good."

The Grand Elder took a deep breath and finally nodded.

That makes sense.

"Strange Lightning is an integral part of the World Lord's legacy."

"If one cannot master the strange lightning, then taking the inheritance is just an empty piece of paper, meaningless."

The Grand Elder stood up and made the final decision.

"Then so be it."

"Rules finalized, full announcement!"

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's decision, Lei Wuji bowed deeply.

"Your disciple obeys."

In the instant he lowered his head, a hint of confidence, as if he had everything under control, flashed deep in his eyes.

The open scheme has succeeded.

He never denied Su Yu's astonishing talent in sweeping through the Tower of Babel, but in the face of the violent and merciless Nine Heavens Annihilation Tribulation Lightning, no matter how monstrous the talent was, it was impossible to instantly erase the chasm of time that he had accumulated over 90,000 years of sitting in solitude.

This is the ironclad law of the system, and even more so, the weight of time!

"Junior Brother Su Yu..."

Lei Wuji silently recited the mantra in his heart, his mind completely undisturbed.

"The future of the Primordial Divine Martial Sect may belong to you."

"But the inheritance of the Realm Lord of Thunderfire Peak is destined to belong to me alone."

……

Half an hour later.

Lei Huofeng, main square.

A decree formed from dark purple lightning floated in mid-air.

It exudes the majestic and vast power of domain lord-level laws.

The contents of the decree were clearly disseminated to every corner of Lei Huo Feng.

The assessment rules are officially announced!

For an instant.

The once tranquil Leihuo Peak seemed to have been hit by a bombshell.

It's completely boiling over!

Countless inner disciples, deacons, and even elders in seclusion walked onto the plaza and looked up at the thunderous decree.
