A powerful, black-colored sword slash filled with the Dao of Lightning escaped from the black sword, as it flew towards the barrier of knowledge in front of Shun Long.

However, the moment that the black-colored slash touched the barrier, the azure barrier barely rippled, before the sword slash lost all of its strength and quickly disappeared.

It looked no different than a small rock being thrown into the sea, barely creating any waves in the process.

Shun Long however didn't seem disappointed when he saw the scene in front of him.

Instead, it seemed as if he had already expected this, as his lips curved up into a smile.

Of course, how could a barrier that could contain information about tens of thousands of martial skills and cultivation techniques, be harmed by a single sword slash at the early Nascent Soul stage?

Even if it was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator instead of Shun Long, they may not necessarily be able to damage the azure barrier in front of him.

This was the reason why Shun Long had decided to send the black-colored sword slash towards the barrier of knowledge, instead of randomly hacking and slashing at the walls around him.

This was Shun Long's way to test the power of the 'Thundergod's slash' without destroying the cave he was in, and possibly getting buried in the process.

At the same time, Shun Long had also realized, that his comprehension of the 'Thundergod's slash' had almost reached 20 percent by now!

This meant that his comprehension of this Saint low-grade martial skill had already reached a preliminary understanding!

In other words, he could pass the second test the moment that he stood up and placed his hand on the palm imprint on the barrier of knowledge.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Shun Long simply shook his head as he thought to himself seriously

''It's very likely that there will be another test after this one. After all, according to that old man from the 'Alchemist Guild', the Holy sect's test is extremely hard to pass. Based on what he had said, he had clearly believed, that not more than 3 people from the 'Night star continent' would manage to pass the test and enter the sect.

Although I don't know how fast everyone else is, it is impossible that there are only 3 people in the entire 'Night star continent' who can manage to pass through this test and comprehend a 'Saint low-grade technique' to a preliminary understanding within 5 days!

As for me, what I lack the most right now, is a proper martial skill to use along with the black sword, as well as experience with the sword itself.

Although the second matter is simply impossible to be solved in a matter of 5 days, I can use the remaining 4 days to try and comprehend the first move of the 'Thundergod's slash' even further! Therefore, even if I have to face a rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, I will still have a killer card if my 'Time Prison' is unable to affect them!''

Coming to this decision, Shun Long didn't hesitate any further, as he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground once again.

As for entering the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time' to accelerate time and comprehend the skill even further within the remaining 4 days, Shun Long decided against it in the end.

Although he had believed that it was impossible for the Holy sect to monitor every single one of the hundreds of thousands of disciples who were taking the second test at the same time, in the off chance that someone from the Holy sect noticed that this cave was empty and came to investigate it, Shun Long wouldn't have a way to explain where he had gone once he returned.

In that case, forget about being unable to join the Holy sect, his own life could very likely be in danger!

After all, as the second test of the Holy sect, it was very likely that any abnormalities would be detected by the Holy sect itself.

..

Half a day quickly passed, but Shun Long remained seated in front of the barrier of knowledge without moving an inch, as he tried to comprehend the 'Thundergod's slash' even further.

At the same time, in a spacious hall inside a luxurious white palace that pierced the clouds, a white-robed elder with long white hair and a clean-shaven face had focused his gaze on the horizon with a serious expression on his face.

Aside from the elder, more than 5000 young men and women dressed in yellow robes were also gathered in this hall, as they stared at a gigantic screen of light that was placed at the center of the hall with interest in their eyes.

Thousands of scenes were depicted in this gigantic screen of light that looked very similar to the barrier of knowledge in front of Shun Long, showing different young men and women every time.

All of these young men and women were either brandishing their weapons, or they were sitting cross-legged on the ground like Shun Long, trying to further comprehend the cultivation techniques or martial skills that they had chosen.

Suddenly, a certain scene seemed to have turned bigger attracting everyone's attention, as it depicted a person in black robes who was completely covering his appearance, placing his right hand on palm imprint on the barrier of knowledge.

Behind that person, a pair of huge black wings that were covered by dark red flames seemed to have sprouted from his back, but surprisingly, they didn't set his robes on fire.

The appearance of these wings, along with the face covered by the black robes, gave off an eerie feeling to anyone who watched this scene.

Suddenly, the azure barrier in front of that person lit up as his hand touched the palm imprint on the barrier of knowledge, before a series of words appeared one after the other, shining with a bright white light

''Saint low-grade martial skill, Demonic Wings!

Level of comprehension: 27 percent!

Pass!''
