Chapter 69: Wu Dao Hall

  "Geniuses have differences, and as time goes on, these differences will become greater and greater, even surpassing the gap between ordinary martial artists and ordinary geniuses. Therefore, using a single term 'genius' to describe them is no longer fitting for the current situation, which is why the concept of genius levels has emerged."

  At this time, Liu Yan's tone paused for a moment, looked at Qin Yong, as if waiting for Qin Yong to sort out his thoughts and accept the previous words before continuing: "The genius level is the level that distinguishes the different levels of geniuses. According to their cultivation speed, they are divided into ordinary, yellow, mysterious, earth, heavenly, and divine six levels."

  "Cultivation speed!" Qin Yong's eyes widened instantly, and the aura ring was precisely for increasing cultivation speed.

  "That's right, there are many kinds of geniuses, but no matter what kind, they all belong to our sect in the end." Liu Yan nodded and said.

  Liu Yan had said before that there are many types of geniuses, but whether it's innate talent, foundation, bloodline, or comprehension, they all boil down to one method: becoming incredibly powerful. The direct manifestation of this is a cultivation speed far surpassing ordinary people.

  Qin Yong nodded to show he understood and waited for Liu Yan to continue.

  "Among ordinary people, one in a hundred can become a martial artist, and this is the average martial artist. Some may be faster or slower, but taking the average speed as the basis, those who can reach three times the average martial artist's cultivation speed are considered ordinary geniuses. Those who exceed ten times are considered yellow-grade geniuses, those who exceed a hundred times are considered mysterious-grade geniuses, and those who exceed a thousand times are considered earth-grade geniuses, and so on." Liu Yan said.

  "Three times or more is just an ordinary genius." Qin Yong thought to himself, his own cultivation speed was only considered average martial arts talent, but after the boost from the Great Fool's Halo, it had already reached three times the normal cultivation speed. In other words, Qin Yong now actually possessed the equivalent of an ordinary genius' abilities.

  But to reach more than ten times is a yellow-level genius, previously Qin Yong's cultivation speed barely exceeded ten times in various situations, isn't that saying Qin Yong once reached the level of a yellow-level genius? At this time, Qin Yong couldn't help but reveal a few strange expressions, it can't be calculated like that because that situation was special and required maintaining that speed consistently. However, the threefold boost from the Great Halo is always present, and Qin Yong now indeed counts as an ordinary genius.

  Liu Yan thought Qin Yong's expression was a bit strange, but she didn't suspect anything, thinking that he was just shocked to hear this for the first time. After pausing for a moment, seeing Qin Yong's expression recover slightly, Liu Yan continued: "It is said that above the divine level, there are even more terrifying geniuses, the true proud sons of heaven who dominate the mainland, extremely frightening. However, these are too far away from us, and it's likely that we will never see one in our lifetime, Tianhong Country is too small."

  Qin Yong looked at Liu Yan's shaking head, unsure if she was disappointed or regretful. At this moment, he didn't think much about it, but felt a chill run down his spine when thinking about the existence of those terrifying geniuses. The phrase "terrifying to the extreme" was absolutely not an exaggeration. According to the hierarchy, each level after Huang was ten times stronger than the previous one, making Shen-level geniuses 100,000 times faster than ordinary martial artists. What did this represent? It represented that a Shen-level genius could cultivate in one day what an ordinary martial artist would take 100,000 days to achieve, which was equivalent to nearly three hundred years of bitter cultivation. No wonder they were called Shen-level geniuses.

  But above the god-like genius, there is an even more terrifying genius. Qin Yong thought about it and felt a bit suffocated. In comparison, his threefold cultivation speed now seems somewhat pitiful, this can no longer be described as being worlds apart.

  "Back to the topic, you can reach the peak of Qi Wu Realm 7th layer in just a few days, and maybe even break through the 8th layer without taking too long. And I remember when we first met, your cultivation was much weaker than it is now. This kind of cultivation speed, even with the help of Qi Ling Dan, is absolutely not ordinary. But if you're an ordinary genius, or even a yellow-grade genius, why has this only appeared now?"

  Qin Yong looked at Liu Yan's gaze, and suddenly smiled awkwardly. The tragic goods from before were not a genius, but just slightly better than an average martial artist. With the help of his current halo, he barely reached the baseline of an ordinary genius. As for why he burst out so quickly, there were many other reasons.

  "I don't want to ask more about this either, maybe you have your own reasons, but it's fine now, looks like you're going to show off your talent too." Liu Yan shook her head and didn't ask any further.

  "Thank you, Sister Liu Yan." Qin Yong hastily expressed his gratitude, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a bitter smile, it seemed that Liu Yan had already made up her mind that he had intentionally concealed the truth earlier.

  "Although I didn't ask, but still want to say that the delay of these years has not only lost time, but also the opportunity for talent growth, which is the most serious." said Liu Yan.

  "Is it possible for him to be promoted?" Qin Yong wondered.

  "That's right, genius is not fixed, and there are many situations that can enhance a person's innate talent. Although it's difficult to advance to the next level of genius, there is still hope for improvement within the same level." Yulan nodded and said.

  Qin Yong seemed to be deep in thought, at this time he already knew the distinction of the six-level genius, as for the level above God, Qin Yong temporarily ignored it. In these six levels, it was just a rough outline, three times or more was an ordinary genius, and ten times or more was a yellow-level genius. So, can a three-time ordinary genius be compared to a nine-time ordinary genius? Can a ten-time yellow-level genius be compared to a ninety-nine-time yellow-level genius?

  "There are several ways to improve one's innate talent, and the simplest is to use a spiritual medicine. However, spiritual medicines that can enhance one's qualifications, roots, and wisdom are all extremely precious, and every time they appear, countless strong practitioners will fight for them. Unless it's an extraordinary opportunity, it's hard to obtain such a spiritual medicine. Another simple method is to venture into the Enlightenment Hall, where everyone who enters can improve their wisdom to some extent, and there's also a chance to enhance their qualifications."

  Wudao Hall! Qin Yong remembered this name, it seemed that what Liu Yan said was a loss, and it turned out to be Wudao Hall.

  "Qin Yong, do you know why I said you missed this opportunity?" asked Liu Yan.

  Qin Yong shook his head.

  "Wudao Hall is the most mysterious and precious treasure of Tianhong Country, jointly owned by the five major sects and the royal family. However, to enter, one must have qualifications. Only the core disciples of the five major sects and the core members of the royal family can enter Wudao Hall. In addition, each sect can add six more quotas, which is now the reward for the top three inner and outer door." said Liu Yan.

  Qin Yong's pupils contracted, and he thought that the Enlightenment Hall could enhance his understanding and improve his qualifications. Even if it wasn't every time, even with a very small probability, it would still be worth it. But what made people even more eager to enter was that only core disciples could enter the Enlightenment Hall, yet there were six places available for both inner and outer door disciples. What Liu Yan said was that Qin Yong had lost the opportunity to compete for the top three in the outer door, but Qin Yong looked at Liu Yan with suspicion, wondering if she thought he could definitely break into the top three of the outer door?
