Chapter 637: Flaw
"A devastating blow?"
Hall Master Yun Tu's expression was solemn.
—Don't think I'm just fear mongering. In every century, there will be a few peerless geniuses and even supreme talents that end up crippled after entering the Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative.
—There's an old saying, "A true prodigy becomes an Astral God in a century, achieves immortality in a millennium, and ascends to Cosmic Radiance in an epoch." This alone shows how intense the competition is.
"Ascends to Cosmic Radiance in just one epoch? Hearing this only makes me more eager to join," Li Pin said sincerely.
He didn't doubt Yun Tu's words. The Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative, carried out by the Humanity Sanctum, gathered nearly all the human race's prodigies and nurtured them with utmost care. There was no need to guess how many exceptional talents and powerful individuals resided there.
Perhaps even figures like the Void Emperor, born with an innate True Spirit, were not uncommon. As for those just a tier below, there were countless of them.
Without some measure of talent, who would dare call themselves a prodigy?
Li Pin couldn't help but recall a saying. It's like how every student and professor at Peking University is part of Peking University. Every single one of them would have been top scholars, even academic gods, in their respective high schools. They were the equivalent of geniuses and prodigies in the Star Domains.
Yun Tu watched Li Pin's enthusiasm and shook his head inwardly. A newborn calf does not fear a tiger.[1]
Right now, he has yet to feel the pressure from the other prodigies in the Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative. Once inside, he will naturally understand what it means to "ascend to Cosmic Radiance in an epoch." He will come to understand how fiercely the people inside push themselves.
That is... if he could pass the second assessment six months later.
