First in the Star Domain, What a Shocking Sight
Within the star field, the atmosphere in the observation rooms of the various forces has completely changed.
Those who had previously dismissed Chen Du and believed he had "lost his talent" have now fallen silent.
Instead, a chorus of gasps and gasps of astonishment rose and fell.
The elder of the Azure Firmament Sacred Land stared at the name flashing on the light screen, his fingers trembling slightly.
The Palace Master of the Vermilion Phoenix Palace had an ashen face.
The president of the Heavenly Pivot Merchant Guild leaned back in his chair, squinting, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, as if he were plotting something.
"This Lin Du, does he really dare to do this?" A powerful elder from a star domain couldn't help but ask.
"He only studied about forty diagrams in the first month, and only started to get serious in the last half-day. Isn't he worried that he won't have enough time left?"
"That's true. If this round wasn't a test of his comprehension but a real battle, he really wouldn't dare to be so reckless. But comprehension is such a thing..."
"Look at his speed! He's still accelerating after 150 cards! This isn't right! Logically, the difficulty should increase dramatically after 150 cards!"
"Wait, the pattern he conjured... it seems to have changed from one flower to two? What is he doing?"
On the list, Chen Du's name has firmly secured third place.
His speed did not slow down, and the speed at which he conjured images did not diminish at all, which made others feel very crazy and shocked.
Two hundred and ten sheets,
Two hundred and twenty sheets,
Two hundred and thirty sheets...
Those watching the light screen finally confirmed one thing.
This young man isn't "chasing" anyone; he's "crushing" everyone here.
Chen Du himself knew best what had happened.
Starting with the 151st image, he sensed a completely different barrier.
The difficulty of each of the first 150 images increases very slowly, like climbing a gentle hillside.
But when it came to the 151st page, the difficulty suddenly seemed to have been cleaved in two from the mountainside, forming a sheer cliff.
The seven-colored flower he conjured suddenly split into two after the 150th image.
The two flowers stand side by side, each requiring independent deduction and independent formation.
The difficulty level has also skyrocketed from "2" to "200".
A leap of one hundred times is indeed incredibly incredible.
Bai Wuchen was stuck on the 151st picture for three whole days, and finally managed to squeeze through by relying on a secret technique passed down in the Bai family.
For Chen Du, however, this surge in difficulty only slightly slowed down his deduction speed.
His comprehension, enhanced by the five talents of [Divine Revelation Reading], [Achieving the Dao Through Anger], [Achieving Immortality in Stunning Everyone with a Single Cry's First Name], [Become a Saint on the Spot], [The World as a Book], plus the system's twenty-fold amplification, has reached a level that cannot be measured by common sense.
If we take the standard for measuring comprehension in this world as a ruler, the comprehension of a super genius at the Ninth Tier level is about 1 to 2, and even a top genius like Bai Wuchen is only 20 to 30.
However, someone like Bai Wuchen, with his profound opportunities and powerful backing, must have the means to improve his comprehension in a short period of time.
A tenfold or even a hundredfold increase is entirely possible, but it's impossible for such a scenario to last.
Chen Du himself roughly estimated that, with a 2000-fold increase, his comprehension would be at least 100,000.
So when the difficulty level jumped from 2 to 200, while others had to exert all their strength to get over that hurdle, he simply slowed down a little and easily crossed it.
Two flowers, three flowers, four flowers.
After that, the number of flowers increases by one every fifty pictures.
The difficulty was skyrocketing, but his comprehension was even higher.
When his name jumped to the top of the leaderboard, five colorful flowers had already gathered in front of him.
Two hundred and fifty pictures! Number one in the entire competition.
When that name firmly held the top spot on the list, the entire star field fell silent for a moment.
Two hundred and fifty pictures, number one in the entire competition!
Those contestants who had been saying "he's too late" all fell silent.
Bai Wuchen sat at the edge of the world, finally letting out a long breath and resting his hand on the light screen behind him.
The mysterious gray-clad youth ranked seventh remained largely unresponsive, continuing to meditate with his eyes closed, as if nothing had happened to him.
The atmosphere in the observation rooms of the various factions was far more lively than that inside the competition arena.
Of course, the only reason that the super strong were shocked by Chen Du was because of his incredible comprehension.
Because in this universe, there are never many geniuses with high comprehension.
Too many exceptional geniuses are killed off on their path to adulthood.
Even for a super genius, there are countless hurdles to overcome before they can become a super strong person.
Luck, mindset, opportunity, and helpful people—all are indispensable.
Many super-strong individuals initially displayed only mediocre abilities, only to unleash their extraordinary brilliance Late Stage.
However, the three major powers know better than anyone else that the probability of someone with mediocre talent becoming a super strong person is extremely low.
Therefore, they will not get overly excited because of a genius's comprehension.
But they won't miss any promising talents worth nurturing.
The shock Chen Du brought was not over yet.
Just when everyone thought it was over, the number of images he conjured continued to increase.
Three hundred!
Three hundred and ten!
Three hundred and twenty!
Three hundred and thirty!
Finally, it stopped at 340.
Chen Du had long since reached a point where no one dared to challenge him.
The second place has only 236.
The gap is so large it's suffocating.
Of the 2,300 Ninth Tier prodigies in the entire arena, apart from Chen Du, the highest number was only slightly over 200.
He, on the other hand, left everyone more than a hundred pages behind.
Those hundred-odd photos might represent a lifetime's difference for someone else.
But Chen Du frowned at this moment, feeling an unprecedented resistance.
After 340 sheets, the five colorful flowers in front of him suddenly froze, as if they had hit an invisible wall.
The wall was incredibly thick, unlike any other barrier before it.
If the difficulty level previously increased slowly from 2 to 200, then after 340 cards, the difficulty level jumps directly from 200 to one million!
Clearly, what came next was beyond his level of understanding.
Or rather, his comprehension is still insufficient.
He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
Three hundred and forty sheets—that's probably his limit.
If he had a few more days, or even a month more, it might be possible for him to conjure this image, but the next one would be even less likely.
Even if you give him another 10 or 8 years, he probably still won't be able to conjure it up.
Simply put, this is the limit.
However, he didn't feel regret.
Three hundred and forty pictures, far exceeding the second place by more than one hundred, this result is already sufficient.
He slowly stood up, stretched his shoulders and neck, and walked towards the edge of the world.
On the list, his name hung high at the top, like a lonely mountain peak, overlooking all the geniuses below.
