Divine Sense Master Assessment

Shen Feixue heard this and immediately walked over to the young girl beside her.

"Sister Wei, you're so amazing. I thought my Divine Sense might be on par with yours, but I didn't expect to be so far behind."

The young girl smiled gracefully and said, "Don't be discouraged. Didn't you hear Grandpa Wei say that Divine Sense doesn't determine everything? In the end, spiritual power cultivation depends on the individual."

"But your lower limit might very well become my upper limit."

"Then you'll just have to work harder in the future and strive to reach the same upper limit as me."

Shen Feixue nodded solemnly.

On the other side, the long-bearded elder looked at Chen Lie and said, "It's your turn now. Begin the Divine Sense test."

Chen Lie nodded and walked into the one-thousand-cubic-meter enclosed test chamber.

"Get ready, it's starting!"

Seeing that Chen Lie had already entered the chamber, the long-bearded elder gave a reminder before initiating the test.

As the instrument announced, "Divine Sense test starting," over a thousand faint white light waves flashed within the chamber once more.

Chen Lie swept his Divine Sense across them, and the numbers above the instrument instantly went off the charts.

Immediately following this, the instrument emitted an alarm sound.

Test subject's Divine Sense sensitivity has exceeded the instrument's limit. Test failed.
Please use a second-generation Divine Sense tester to retest.

"What is going on?"

The long-bearded elder was stunned when he heard the instrument's announcement.

He looked up and saw that the number above the instrument had actually reached four digits: 1000.

Shen Feixue and the slightly older girl, who had been planning to leave, couldn't help but stop in their tracks and look at Chen Lie, who was testing his Divine Sense.

Chen Lie walked out of the chamber, looked at the dumbfounded long-bearded elder, and asked, "Does my Divine Sense test count as passed?"

The long-bearded elder looked at the number above the instrument, then glanced at Chen Lie, hesitating to speak.

"Grandpa Wei, is the instrument malfunctioning?"

At this moment, the young girl nearby asked tentatively.

"Yes, yes, it must be a malfunction. Young man, go back in and test again."

The long-bearded elder snapped out of it and urged Chen Lie to return to the test chamber.

Chen Lie nodded and went back into the chamber to test again.

The instrument quickly announced, "Divine Sense test starting."

Inside the chamber, white light waves flashed. Chen Lie swept his Divine Sense across them again, and the instrument emitted the same alarm sound.

Test subject's Divine Sense sensitivity has exceeded the instrument's limit. Test failed.
Please use a second-generation Divine Sense tester to retest.

Watching Chen Lie emerge from the chamber and looking at the 1000 reading on the instrument, the long-bearded elder remained silent.

"The instrument must be broken, right? Otherwise, how could someone's Divine Sense sensitivity be this high?"

Shen Feixue couldn't help but remark.

"This... if the instrument really is broken, we're in trouble. This is an imported instrument from off-planet; Blue Star cannot manufacture them, nor can we repair them. The entire Divine Sense Master Association in Yunchuan Province only has one."

The long-bearded elder shook his head.

At this point, Chen Lie spoke up: "The instrument is fine. Given the level of my Divine Sense, this outdated equipment cannot measure my upper limit."

"You mean your Divine Sense sensitivity is as high as 1000? More than three times stronger than the top Divine Sense genius in Yunchuan Province? What a narcissist!"

Shen Feixue glared at Chen Lie with an unpleasant expression.

"How about this, Miaowei, you go in and test. Use your results to verify whether the instrument is malfunctioning," the long-bearded elder suggested.

"Alright!"

The young girl nodded, walked into the chamber, and began the Divine Sense test.

Before long, the flickering numbers on the instrument stopped, and it began to prompt.

"Test complete."

Seeing the reading on the instrument, Shen Feixue pointed at the numbers and said, "It's 656! The instrument really is broken; Sister Wei's Divine Sense sensitivity is clearly 302."

At this moment, the young girl walked out of the chamber. When she turned back to see the specific number, she also let out a sigh of relief.

In the profession of a Divine Sense Master, she could accept that someone had talent equal to hers, or even slightly better, but if they were more than three times stronger than her, she would find it truly difficult to accept.

The long-bearded elder shook his head and said gravely, "The instrument is not malfunctioning. This Divine Sense test instrument only allows the same person to accurately test their sensitivity once. If tested a second time, because one is already familiar with the instrument, the resulting value is often more than double one's true level."

If one uses the Divine Sense testing instrument frequently, they can, due to their familiarity with the device, measure up to about three times their actual Divine Sense value.

That is why whenever someone comes to test their Divine Sense, I usually have them probe behind a barrier to detect what is hidden there; only after they pass that do I arrange for them to use the instrument.

Otherwise, if their Divine Sense has not been fully awakened, they would waste the opportunity for a precise instrument test and fail to obtain their true Divine Sense acuity value.

"This... how could that be?" Shen Feixue's face was full of disbelief.

The young girl beside her also wore an expression of incomprehension.

A Divine Sense acuity of 1000 was more than three times her own plus another hundred; how could such a genius exist in this world?

"Eh? That's not right!"

Shen Feixue suddenly thought of a possibility and said, "Chairman Wei, you just said that if someone frequently uses the Divine Sense testing instrument, they might measure a value more than three times their actual Divine Sense acuity.

Could it be that he uses the Divine Sense testing instrument often, which is why he measured such a high value?"

The long-bearded elder slapped his hands together, "That's right, that possibility certainly exists."

The young girl beside him also brightened, casting her gaze toward Chen Lie.

Chen Lie remained expressionless, though he sighed inwardly.

People's horizons are limited; they are always unwilling to believe in things beyond their own cognition.

Thus, he went along with the expectations of those before him and nodded in admission, "That is correct, I have used this Divine Sense testing instrument frequently in the past."

"I knew it, how could anyone's Divine Sense acuity be as high as 1000? Such an absurd value, is that even something a human can reach?" Shen Feixue could not help but say.

The young girl beside her also seemed to relax a little.

The long-bearded elder said, "You little girl, don't underestimate him. To be able to measure a Divine Sense acuity value of 1000, even with frequent use of the testing instrument, his actual value is still highly likely to be above 300.

Isn't that right, young man?"

Chen Lie nodded.

"You are not from our Yunchuan Province, are you?

Otherwise, with your Divine Sense talent, it would be impossible for you to be unknown in Yunchuan."

"Mm." Chen Lie responded, then immediately asked, "So, can I proceed with the Divine Sense Master assessment now?"

"You still want to take the Divine Sense Master assessment?" the long-bearded elder couldn't help but ask.

"If I'm not here for the Divine Sense Master assessment, why else would I be here?" Chen Lie countered.

"Have you already successfully opened your Sea of Consciousness and condensed spiritual power?"

"Yes!" Chen Lie replied.

"That makes sense. With your Divine Sense acuity value as high as three hundred, such aptitude means only this young girl before you, named Shen Miaowei, can rival you in Yunchuan. It is not strange that you have successfully opened your Sea of Consciousness and condensed spiritual power!"

The long-bearded elder nodded and said, "My name is Wei Changshan, the chairman of the Sanchuan Branch of the Divine Sense Master Association.

Your name is Chen Lie, correct? Let me ask you one thing: are you certain you want to participate in the Divine Sense Master assessment?"

"Of course."

"Very well, follow me!"

Wei Changshan turned around, glanced at Shen Miaowei, and said, "Little girl of the Shen family, although you have already passed the Divine Sense Master assessment, this young man's aptitude is no weaker than yours. Passing the Divine Sense Master assessment should not be difficult for him; you might as well stay and watch."

"Thank you, Grandpa Wei, I was just planning to do so."

Shen Miaowei nodded and, along with Shen Feixue, headed toward the Divine Sense Master assessment area.
