Book 2: Chapter 101: Zhang Xuan Assessment



He had assessed Yan San-shisan’s talent before—it wasn’t particularly outstanding. Compared to Kong Shiyao, Shan Xiaotian, and the others, it was significantly lacking, even slightly inferior to Dao Li. Under such circumstances, how could this guy have ended up in first place?

"Maybe, like me, he prefers to keep a low profile..." After a moment of surprise, Zhang Xuan had an epiphany.

Although he hadn’t explicitly asked his disciples to keep a low profile, his influence likely encouraged them to emulate his demeanor. It seemed Yan San-shisan deliberately slowed down his pace to avoid unnecessary trouble. This was for the best. Zhang Xuan’s purpose in bringing everyone for the assessment was to help them become Destiny Masters, not to draw undue attention. A subdued approach aligned perfectly with his intentions.

Creak!

The stone doors opened, and the group exited one by one.

“Congratulations, Thirty-three…”

“This is surely the top talent in Zouyi City! Incredible!”

As Yan San-shisan emerged, the crowd gathered around him with compliments.

Under normal circumstances, hearing such praise would have made Yan San-shisan proud and eager to accept it. But now, remembering what had just transpired, his face flushed red with embarrassment, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Yet, recalling Kong Shiyao’s words, he forced himself to endure.

Kong Shiyao had gifted him a golden koi for one purpose: to ensure he found his Destiny first, overshadowing everyone else. Otherwise, with his senior and junior disciples successfully advancing alongside even a horse and a chicken becoming Destiny Masters, attracting attention would have been inevitable!

"Alright!" Elder Zhu Xun, despite his curiosity about what had transpired inside, held back his questions. “Next group: Zhang Xuan, Luo Ruoxi, Luo Qiqi, Liu Yang, Yuan Tao, Lu Chong, Wei Ruyan, Zhang Jiuxiao, Sun Qiang, and Yu Xiaoyu…”

“We’ll let them complete their assessment, and then I’ll ask,” he muttered to himself.

“Elder Zhu, Hong Yi and Liu Mingyue are also my students. Could you include them in our group? It’ll save some hassle,” Zhang Xuan requested.

“That’s fine. But the more people there are, the more volatile the River of Destiny becomes. You must all exercise caution…” After a moment of hesitation, Elder Zhu agreed.

The chamber could easily accommodate twenty or thirty people at a time, though the standard limit was ten to increase the chances for each participant. A larger group reduced the likelihood of seizing opportunities.

Since Zhang Xuan was unconcerned, it wasn’t an issue to include them.

“Thank you, Elder.” Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and led the group inside.

Creak!

The stone door shut with a rumble.

Zhang Xuan curiously surveyed his surroundings.

While he had read about the Destiny Assessment process, this was his first time experiencing it personally.

After a short wait, the runes on the stone pillars began to wriggle. In an instant, a torrent infused with Heaven’s Fate Energy manifested before them, and everyone felt as though they had plunged into surging waters.

“So, this is the River of Destiny? It doesn’t seem entirely pure…” Zhang Xuan assessed his surroundings and nodded to himself.

The river wasn’t composed solely of Heaven’s Fate Energy; much Source Energy was mixed in. This wasn’t a true River of Destiny but a simulation, likely formed by diverting a branch through special methods.

It was akin to channeling a small stream from the Yangtze River. While it could mimic the Yangtze’s flow in a narrower passage, it lacked the depth and substance of the original. Even so, it was possible to find opportunities and resonate with one\'s Destiny here. However, it could never compare to the authentic River of Destiny\'s grandeur.

“Still, it’s impressive to form such a large flow. The Heaven’s Fate Energy in this river must amount to seventy or eighty million strands!” Zhang Xuan’s excitement grew.

The most Heaven’s Fate Energy he had ever seen was from Han Qianchou’s two thousand Destiny Disks, totaling just twenty million strands. To encounter seventy or eighty million strands now was remarkable. If absorbed, it would be a substantial reserve.

But this wasn’t the time to absorb energy; he had to wait until everyone had found their opportunities.

He himself had comprehended the Heaven’s Pathos Destiny, and opportunities weren’t crucial for him. However, his disciples, including Sun Qiang and the others, needed them.

With that, he didn’t rush to catch the koi but instead observed his surroundings.

Luo Ruoxi, Luo Qiqi, Liu Yang, Yuan Tao, and the others had exceptional talent. They would likely have no trouble catching koi and didn’t require his assistance. His attention soon turned to Liu Mingyue, Yu Xiaoyu, and Hong Yi.

These three were disciples he had casually accepted after arriving in this world. While they had successfully established their Source Pools and ignited their furnaces, their talents weren’t outstanding. Their only advantage was their solid foundation due to simplified Heaven’s Path cultivation techniques.

Their weaker talent became apparent as they struggled to catch koi, unlike Luo Ruoxi and the others, who managed effortlessly.

Zhang Xuan stepped forward to assist them.

“Teacher…” Yu Xiaoyu and the others looked to him for guidance.

“Let me help you!” Zhang Xuan reached into the stream.

Moments ago, the koi had been aimlessly swimming. But as soon as he made his move, every koi in the river rushed toward him, leaping into the air eagerly as if begging to be caught.

“???”

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

He had never encountered anything like this.

Yu Xiaoyu and the others were equally stunned.

They already knew their teacher’s talent was extraordinary, far beyond theirs. But seeing this made the disparity even clearer. Others had to struggle to catch a fish, while he simply needed to think about it, and the fish willingly leaped into his hands!

“Alright, three will do for now!” Zhang Xuan, shaking his head at the koi’s eagerness, extended his hand.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

Three golden koi jumped into his palm, their mouths opening and closing excitedly.

“Here, one for each of you…” Zhang Xuan handed them to Yu Xiaoyu and the others, relieved. “Absorb these opportunities, then resonate with the river. Once you feel the pull of Destiny, channel the power into yourself to form your Heaven’s Fate and comprehend the Heart of Destiny.”

“Yes, Teacher!” The group closed their eyes and began to resonate with the river.

Seeing them immersed in their practice, Zhang Xuan turned his attention back to the koi still circling him. A thought struck him.

“Absorbing one opportunity allows for comprehending one Destiny. Since I can comprehend multiple Destinies, could I absorb more?”

Acting on the idea, he extended his hand again.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

One golden koi after another collided with his body. Upon contact, they transformed into golden streams of energy and entered his body.

“Store!”

Following his intent, the koi were absorbed into the Library of Heaven’s Path, transforming into silver books floating within.

“As I thought… it works!” Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up.

He continued to collect koi. Within a dozen breaths, thousands of silver books had gathered in the library. At this point, the golden koi in the river were depleted, leaving only silver and gray ones swimming sluggishly.

“Forget it. These are too weak to bother with…” Zhang Xuan shook his head and shifted his attention to the flowing Heaven’s Fate Energy.

“If I secretly absorb some, no one will notice…”

Seventy or eighty million strands of Heaven’s Fate Energy were a considerable reserve, likely the core foundation of Zouyi’s Destiny Hall. Completely depleting it would cause trouble, but taking a portion shouldn’t be an issue as long as the river remained intact.

After ensuring the others had found suitable opportunities, Zhang Xuan activated his will, beginning to absorb the Heaven’s Fate Energy.

Boom!

The raging river surged into his body and mind, flowing toward his Heaven’s Pathos Destiny.

This Destiny required a massive amount of energy. Lacking a chance like this, he had been cautious about replenishing it. Now, he wasn’t going to let the opportunity slip away.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

With ample energy, the Heaven’s Pathos Destiny let out a joyful hum, growing larger and sturdier.

In mere moments, one million strands of Heaven’s Fate Energy were absorbed.

Two million! Three million! Eight million!

In just over ten breaths, he had absorbed ten million strands, yet the Destiny only grew slightly larger, far from reaching a breakthrough.

“The consumption is this high?” Zhang Xuan was astonished.

Forming this Destiny had already consumed twenty million strands, which he had thought was extreme. Yet even after absorbing another ten million, it showed only minor changes, with no signs of advancing to the Second Stage!

This was alarming!

At this rate, where would he find enough Heaven’s Fate Energy?

Despite his frustration, Zhang Xuan understood this was an unparalleled opportunity. Without hesitation, he resumed absorbing energy.

Rumble!

His rapid absorption caused the entire river to tilt, pouring into his body like a reversed galaxy.

“This…”

Those resonating with the river snapped out of their focus and stared in shock. The sight of a galaxy-like torrent descending upon Zhang Xuan left them speechless.

Luo Ruoxi and Luo Qiqi, accustomed to his unfathomable feats, remained composed. However, Yu

Xiaoyu and the others, unfamiliar with such displays, were dumbfounded.

They had always known their teacher was powerful, but this… was beyond their imagination.

“Those who haven’t connected with their Destinies, hurry! You’ll lose your chance soon…” Luo Ruoxi, quick to recover, urged them.

She knew her husband well. Once he started absorbing energy, stopping him was nearly impossible. It was only a matter of time before he drained the testing chamber entirely.

“Yes!” The group scrambled to focus on their resonance.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Inside the chamber, it resembled a battlefield, while outside, Elder Zhu Xun and the others grew increasingly anxious.

It had been over fifteen minutes since they entered, and no one had resonated with their Destiny. Could it be that… they all failed?
