Chapter 631: Sword of the Void

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as Su Ping stepped forward, the Golden Crows began to discuss about him.

After all, he had indeed offered a stunning show during the first two rounds.

“That human...”

“Hmm, I don’t think this human can master the rules.”

“You can’t say that for certain. I think the human has shown strong abilities in the first round!”

The Golden Crows appeared to be worried. If Su Ping were to pass the third round, it would reflect poorly on them, the Golden Crows.

“It’s him, humph!”

Among the Golden Crows that had finished their turn, the Golden Crow from the He family wore a hostile look.

Its peers glared at Su Ping as well, because none of them liked this bug-sized foreign creature.

They could not understand why their Chief Elder was allowing that foreign creature to participate in the trial. It was shameful! Not to mention that the foreign creature had outperformed them!

...

Whoosh!

Su Ping made his way to the Tablet of Principles.

The remaining young Golden Crows joined him to make up the ten-participants group. The Golden Crows flew past Su Ping, giving him indifferent gazes.

Su Ping didn’t mind their hostility, since it wouldn’t affect him. They could do whatever they wanted.

Tablet of Principles...

Su Ping stared at the towering Tablet of Principles before him; he felt he was looking at the whole universe. The grains that were inspired by the previous groups had dimmed down.

Su Ping felt he was standing by the edge of the skies.

Su Ping took a deep breath and started.

“Elementary Strength Enhancement!”

Boom. His strength increased considerably. The elementary Strength Enhancement could directly increase his strength two-fold!

Following that, Su Ping resorted to agility.

He moved so fast that he became a blur.

The Tablet of Principles felt something. Two grains emerged in the tablet; one in blue and the other in green. The structure of the grains was complex.

Su Ping felt he had fallen into a trance the moment those grains appeared.

He felt he had seen the underlying principles of the two skills. He could somehow see their original structure.

Principles!

That feeling vanished right away, but it did leave an impression in Su Ping’s heart. He looked away.

The onlookers wore graver looks when they saw that Su Ping had successfully lit up two grains.

Still, they were delighted to see that Su Ping had not taken further actions.

Is this the end for that human?

Before the Golden Crows could confirm their suspicions, Su Ping had already made his next move. This time, he used the elementary rules of flames. A huge ball of fire appeared out of nowhere and landed on the Tablet of Principles.

The third grain lit up!

It was red; most grains of such coloring symbolized rules of flames or fire.

The Golden Crows were not happy about that result.

Golden Crows were among the best when it came to flames. Of all the rules they could master, the rules of flames were a must! Golden Crows had more insights on the rules of flames compared to Su Ping!

Compared to the Golden Crows, Su Ping’s understanding of flames was superficial; the grain was thin and small.

On the other hand, the Golden Crows’ flame grains were quite large!

That being said, Su Ping had indeed manifested that rule; otherwise the grain wouldn’t have appeared.

...

Bang!

Su Ping was making another move. Thunder was clapping and lightning was flashing. Dark clouds formed in the sky, and then a bolt of lightning crashed into the Tablet of Principles.

The fourth grain appeared!

Rule of thunder!

The Golden Crows noticed that Su Ping’s understanding of the rule of thunder was better than the others. That grain was twice as large than the other grains he had inspired!

My understanding of thunder is much better than that of flames.

Su Ping noticed the differences in size. His elementary rules of thunder were about to progress to the middle-rank; he had attained such progress thanks to all the Heaven’s Tests he had undergone, gaining insights into the rules of thunder.

“Next...”

Boom!

Su Ping was making ice. He was using many skills of ice.

However, the ice melted on the Tablet of Principles; there was no visible reaction.

“That didn’t work. He does not understand it well enough!”

The Golden Crows were relieved.

Su Ping would rise to the top ranks if he was able to light up a fifth grain!

“Wind!” Su Ping said.

The underperformance when it came to ice was expected; it was just an experiment.

After all, he had not reached the legendary rank on those skills. He himself was well aware that he hadn’t tapped into those rules..

Soon after, he noticed that he had also failed with the wind skills.

He tried the skills of light, darkness, stone, and metal... All of them failed!

Even though he didn’t inspire more grains, such a wide range of skills had stunned the Golden Crows.

How can a human have such an extensive knowledge?

“If he can gain more insight in those areas...”

“I cannot even begin to imagine that!”

The Golden Crows got the chills.

This foreign creature has great potential!

He was outstanding, even when compared to the other Golden Crows.

Su Ping could be ranked among the top ten million on the Earth List!

The ‘ten million’ number sounded large, but compared to countless creatures since the dawn of time, ten million was nothing!

...

“Sword of the Void...”

Su Ping stared at the Tablet of Principles. He had tried all the other skills. He was somewhat disappointed, even though he was sure those skills were not good enough yet.

He had one last card up in his sleeve.

The swordplay that he had learned in the past ten days.

Sword of the Void!

Boom!!

He took out the sword. Space was rippling. At the same time, Su Ping was pouring both Ashura and Divine energies into the sword. Such a combination made the sword look half transparent.

But the killing intent emanated by the sword was definitely not transparent.

Su Ping made the move. The sword light landed on the Tablet of Principles.

The mist over the Tablet of Principles was moving. A grain appeared!

“What...”

“No way!”

“A complete principle?”

The Golden Crows were stunned speechless.

That grain was awfully dense!

It was more than ten times larger than the other grains!

That grain stood out on the Tablet of Principles, shining in glorious radiance. Compared to that grain, the other four grains Su Ping had inspired looked dim.

The other four combined were less than half the size of the fifth one!

“That move has the power of rules...”

Diqiong gazed at Su Ping, stupefied.

Diqiong was not so surprised when Su Ping inspired the first four grains and used all the other skills. Still, the swordplay was indeed awe inspiring for the royal crow.

The power of rules!

That was something Diqiong was still pursuing!

Diqiong was at the fundamental level and could use some of the power of rules, but that was only because of its emperor-level bloodline!

It had been born to be better than the other Golden Crows, all thanks to the pure ancestral bloodline!

To make things worse, Su Ping was at a much lower rank!

Nevertheless, Su Ping had been able to understand that power. It was almost scary!

“Descendant of a Heaven Master... Did the Heaven Master teach him those things?” Diqiong murmured. That theory calmed it down. If the Heaven Master was the teacher, it wouldn’t be that strange to see Su Ping attain such a feat.

Diqiong never had the chance to learn from the first ancestor. If the first ancestor would have given it some guidance, Diqiong would be even more powerful!

“Not bad...”

The three Golden Crow elders were much more composed. They had seen Su Ping’s potential at the very beginning when they questioned him.

They had been able to see him through, completely.

That was why Su Ping’s revivals had surprised them.

For the first time in forever, they had been unable to keep calm when they saw him come back to life.

“He has the potential to be apotheosized.” The elder on the right blinked. Those who had such potential were few and far between. Of all the Golden Crows, less than ten thousand had a similar potential.
