Chapter 298: The Opportunity Of Longevity Fruits
Since I can’t compete in terms of natural talent, I can either rely on fortuitous encounters or sheer effort.
A pity. I have put in the effort, but in this life, I’ve yet to stumble upon that fortuitous encounter.
As the last wisp of golden light within the Soul-Gathering Pearl dissipated into nothingness, Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh with such sentiment.
No unexpected developments occurred.
Another two months passed. While Li Fan couldn’t say he’d made no progress at all, his identification success rate had only improved from five in ten thousand to one in a thousand.
He still couldn’t perceive the difference between a normal soul and one bound by a Soul Contract, and was still just blindly guessing based on intuition.
This, of course, fell far short of the standard required of trainees.
It seems I can only try again next time. The only thing I’m somewhat reluctant to leave is this Cosmos Branch Academy, where I can activate the epiphanic state boost while they foot the bill.
Li Fan shook his head and focused on making the most of this final period of free cultivation.
Over ten days later, the monthly assessment arrived once more.
Most cultivators had already exhausted their supply of Soul-Gathering Pearls, so this test would also be the final trial determining who stayed and who left.
Li Fan’s performance was consistently stable. In the knowledge of array construction, he remained top-tier. In identifying Soul Contracts, he remained rock-bottom.
