Ye Chen took a bite of the food and looked at Jialuo.""What's with the Annual Scholar Evaluation?”
Jialuo explained," Every year, the Thousand Caves City has an annual scholar evaluation. Scholars will be given a score based on their academic contributions. The scholar with the highest score will be awarded the title of Scholar of the Year and will also be qualified to enter the stone library.”
"I see." Then, Ye Chen asked curiously, How many times can I enter the stone library?”
"There's no limit to the number of times you can enter. The ancient stone slabs in the stone library require several months to digest each time you look at them. It's impossible for you to enter them many times.”
"A year?"
" Yes," Galos nodded." It's a year after the Annual Scholar Assessment. It's the next year's Annual Scholar Assessment."”
Ye Chen listened to Jialuo's explanation and thought to himself,'Others go once every few months, but I go to sign in. That means I go every day.'
However, there were no rules to begin with, so they probably just went there casually.
Ye Chen thought to himself,'I'll see if the Scholar of the Year assessment is difficult tomorrow. I'll go to the Sage Stone Statue tonight and sign in.'
After dinner, Jordan said,""Let's go out to the Sage Stone Statue.”
" It's too late," Jialuo said, blushing." Lord Ye Chen, I'll arrange accommodation for you first."”
"That works too."
It seemed that it was too late and the little girl, Jialuo, was shy.
The Thousand Caves City was a city of scholars. Scholars came from all over the King's Continent, so there were naturally many inns.
Jialuo arranged the best hotel for Ye Chen and left shyly after they agreed to meet tomorrow.
Ye Chen looked at Jialuo's graceful back and smiled. Then, he walked out of the Thousand Caves City alone.
The night in Thousand Caves City was bright with the moon and few stars.
Hurry up and sign in. Otherwise, it would be past midnight and the next day.
Just as Ye Chen walked out of the Thousand Caves City, he happened to see a person wearing a sackcloth cloak walking out.
Ye Chen took a closer look and realized that it looked like the Alchemy King he had met today.
Ye Chen couldn't be bothered with the matters of a stranger. He went straight to the Sage Stone Statue and said,""System, I want to sign in!"
"Ding, you have signed in in front of the Sage Stone Statue. Obtained Comprehension 100x!”
Ye Chen was stunned. Could comprehension be rewarded as well?
This was a little scary!
A hundred times comprehension ability. Wasn't one day of cultivation equivalent to a hundred days of cultivation in the past?
A year of cultivation was equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation?
In Ye Chen's mind, he immediately activated all the skills he had learned.
In his mind, tiny figures appeared one after another. They were cultivating the Storm Dragon King's Power, the True Meaning of Daybreak, the True Meaning of Darkness, the Space Rending Slash, the Heaven Splitting Slash, the Tyrant Dragon Body Refining Technique, and the Evil God Sealing Technique.
Then, the miniman that cultivated the Storm Dragon King's power and the miniman that cultivated the Tyrant Dragon Body Refining Technique actually fused together.
Immediately after, the Space Rending Slash and the Heaven Splitting Slash fused together!
After a long time, Ye Chen felt a warm current flow through his body. His body exploded with power that was twice as strong as before.
Ye Chen's current stats were:
[Level: Level 38 Hero (600/8.2 million)]
[Skills: Storm Dragon King's Power Level 11, Sky Splitting Technique Level 7, Evil God Sealing Technique Level 7, True Meaning of Daybreak Level 7, True Meaning of Darkness Level 7, Comprehension 100x]
All skills were level 7, and 100 times comprehension was actually reflected in the skills.
The most terrifying thing was that after absorbing the essence of the Tyrant Dragon Body Refining Technique, the Storm Dragon King's Power actually broke through the limit of Level 10 and rose to Level 11!
Ye Chen did not even know how many levels the Storm Dragon King's Power could be upgraded to before it was maxed out.
"The Thousand Caves City is also a treasure trove."
Now, Ye Chen was very satisfied with the Thousand Caves City. This way, Ye Chen became even more interested in the stone library.
The Philosopher's Stone Statue already had such a reward, and the Stone Library was filled with ancient stone tablets that had been passed down for more than a thousand years. What good things could he obtain?
……
Early the next morning, Ye Chen went out for a stroll.
He mainly wanted to familiarize himself with the geographical location of the Thousand Caves City.
The outer area was a residential area for scholars. There were hotels and shops.
The inner level was the gathering area of various fields. The Demon Seed Research Department that Jialuo had brought Ye Chen to yesterday was one of the gathering areas.
There were tens of thousands of gathering areas here, studying different areas.
In the center of the Thousand Caves City was a huge library.
On the outer wall of the library were caves. These were created by the ancestors of the Thousand Caves City by imitating the totems of the demonic path.
There were all forms of knowledge here-ancient books, sculptures carved with history, and academies. The scholars sang ancient hymns, and the lingering sounds of the songs drifted in the wind, shrouding the entire Thousand Caves City with a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
It was said that the only way to the stone library with ancient stone slabs was in the depths of the library.
In other words, to go to the stone library, one had to enter the library first.
The stone library was actually the inner library of the library.
Ye Chen walked to the door alone and saw a big red list pasted on it.
He had seen it when he came in yesterday, but he hadn't taken a closer look.
Looking at it now, it was the topic of the annual debate competition.
Yesterday, Jialuo had mentioned the annual debate.
The annual debate competition was the competition that most scholars in the City of a Thousand Caves participated in every year.
The final winner of the competition would receive 500 points from the Annual Scholar Evaluation.
Most of the participating scholars were here for the annual scholar evaluation.
Even if they didn't get first place in the annual scholar competition, they could still use their points to exchange for treasures in the Thousand Caves City.
This year, the topic of the annual debate was " King Zhou fell in love with the heartless doll, Daji. Can it be considered love?”
The story of King Zhou and Daji was a well-known allusion in the King's Continent.
In the ancient Battle of Gods Investiture, King Zhou was the king of the continent and the leader of the world's strongest demonic clan.
His favorite concubine had died.
Therefore, Jiang Ziya created a Heartless Doll named Daji to imitate the actions of King Zhou's favorite concubine, the Witch Daji.
When Daji was no different from humans, Jiang Ziya offered Daji to King Zhou.
Daji's appearance was devastatingly beautiful. She had a charming and alluring temperament that could turn all living beings upside down. Her figure was enchanting and sexy.
Most importantly, she looked exactly like King Zhou's favorite concubine.
Therefore, King Zhou fell in love with the Heartless Puppet Daji without any surprise.
However, Daji did not have a heart. She was not sure if she had fallen in love with King Zhou.
When King Zhou went to war, Daji found the heart that contained the concubine's soul in the palace.
When Daji lifted the heart, it was broken. It was King Zhou's heart.
King Zhou sacrificed his heart to preserve the soul of his concubine.
Now that his heart was broken, King Zhou suffered the backlash of the demonic path. His body turned into ashes, leaving behind his shell and dying.
Therefore, Jiang Ziya's side won the final battle.
The winner was king, and the loser was a bandit. From then on, King Zhou became the legendary tyrannical last emperor.
"King Zhou fell in love with the heartless puppet, Daji. Can it be considered love?”
The question was, could there be love between humans and machines?
A very organized reasoning process suddenly appeared in Ye Chen's mind.
Even Ye Chen himself was stunned.
"Is this another effect of the hundredfold comprehension ability? Apart from speeding up his cultivation by 100 times, his thinking speed would also increase by 100 times?”
Suddenly, Ye Chen looked out of the city.
A voice called out to him.
"Lord Ye."
It was Baili Shouyue.
"Baili, why are you here?"
"I'm here for the man-made demonic seed," Baili Shouyue said in a deep voice.”
Ye Chen frowned when he heard Baili Shouyue mention the man-made demonic seed attack. He felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly recalled the scene of Alchemy King walking out of Thousand Caves City yesterday.
"Could it be that there's something fishy going on?"
Baili Shouyue saw Ye Chen's sudden words and quickly said,""Lord Ye, do you have any clues?”
Ye Chen shook his head." It's not really a clue. I'm afraid it'll take some time for the results of those corpses and fragments to come out."”
Baili Shouyue nodded. He then mentioned that Empress Wu Zetian had sent Eunuch Zhao and Zhao Jianjun to summon Ye Chen to the capital.
Ye Chen shook his head.”
Ye Chen was not interested in Chang 'an at the moment. The Thousand Caves City was such a good place. After signing in for a year and a half and getting all the good things, he would talk about the time to go to other places.
When Baili Shouyue heard Ye Chen say that he didn't need to pay attention to Eunuch Zhao and the others, he said in surprise,""Lord Ye, that's Her Majesty's imperial order.”
Ye Chen glanced at Baili Shouyue and said,"Just say that you don't know where I'm going."”
Baili Shouyue could only say one word, he was convinced!
This was the most unyielding person Baili Shouyue had ever met.
Just like Lord Li Bai, he had rejected the empress's invitation.
Of course, in the end, Lord Li Bai still went to Chang 'an.
Baili Shouyue felt that Ye Chen would be pressured by the Great Tang Empire and the empress and would soon head to Chang 'an.
However, Baili Shouyue did not know Ye Chen's strength.
Ye Chen's current strength was already one of the best in the continent. No one could order him around.
Ye Chen was the only one who was willing. No one could force him.
The empress's command?
I'm not going.
If the empress wants to see me, she can take the initiative to come over. Perhaps Ye Chen can give her some face.
