Chapter 107

"What! How is that possible?! Am I just seeing things or is the Tablet of Comprehension emitting a white glow already?! It hasn't even been half an hour since he sat down!"

The sect elders inside the spectators' room quickly became clamorous after seeing the Tablet of Comprehension glowing.

"This young man…" Long Yijun stared at the glowing stone tablet with a dazed look on his face.

"This Yuan is the definition of a true cultivation genius," Elder Xuan said with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, inside the examination room, Xue Jiye stood there with a bewildered expression on her beautiful face, looking like she'd just seen a ghost.

'Impossible! How did he comprehend 10 percent of the technique already?! Even if it's a weak cultivation technique, he shouldn't be able to learn it so quickly!' she cried inwardly.

As for Yuan, he continued to stare at the symbols that formed an eyeball— glaring back at it with a piercing gaze.

The eyeball on the stone tablet grew more realistic and lively the longer Yuan stared at it, almost as though it was coming to life, and after glaring at it for an hour, Yuan could see colors appearing on the stone tablet and coloring the large eyeball.

Once the entire eyeball was colored in a golden and amber color, the Tablet of Comprehension began emitting a green light, indicating that Yuan had comprehended at least 25 percent of the cultivation technique.

'My god! He's already at 25 percent comprehension!' Xue Jiye quickly covered her mouth when she suddenly felt the urge to scream out loud.

"25 percent! He's already at 25 percent!"

As for the people watching from the spectators' room, without needing to worry about interrupting Yuan's concentration, they shouted at the top of their lungs from excitement.

"Hahaha! At this rate, he might really comprehend the entire cultivation technique!" Elder Xuan laughed out loud, and he continued, "And he might even do it in less than 7 days!"

"Hmm…" Long Yijun remained silent and continued to stare at Yuan with a profound gaze.

Another two hours later, the eyeball on the stone tablet changed for Yuan again, and this time, the eyeball appeared to be emerging from the stone tablet!

Yuan was startled when he saw this change, but he didn't look away, as something about the eyeball kept his gaze attached, almost mesmerized.

And although the eyeball looked incredibly realistic, if one looked closely, they would not be able to sense any life in it, so it felt no different from looking at a realistic art— a masterpiece.

However, as Yuan continued to stare into this eyeball for another hour, he began to feel a profound pressure coming from it. Although it was only very slightly and barely noticeable at first, the longer he stared at it, the stronger the pressure became until it felt like he was being looked down upon by some superior entity, almost like a God looking at mortals from the Heavens.

However, despite this intense pressure, Yuan did not back down and challenged the gaze.

Boom!

After staring at the eyeball for some time, the eyeball suddenly flickered with a golden light, and Yuan found himself floating in the middle of the void and surrounded by stars the next second with Xue Jiye and the stone tablet nowhere to be seen, almost like he'd been teleported to the outer space.

"What the?" Yuan looked around with a puzzled expression on his face.

A few moments later, something caught his attention, causing him to turn around.

"?!?!?!"

When Yuan turned around and saw the massive creature flying behind him, his hair stood up straight like a cat when frightened or feeling threatened.

'Is this… a dragon?!' Yuan cried inwardly as he recognized the shape of this creature from movies when he was a kid.

However, this dragon was much larger than he remembered. It had large golden eyes the size of an entire planet and a massive body that stretched to the horizon countless miles into the distance.

Meanwhile, in the examination room, Xue Jiye noticed that Yuan had suddenly closed his eyes, seemingly asleep.

Furthermore, the stone tablet was no longer glowing a green light, and it had once again changed colors.

'Azure-colored light! He's comprehended 50 percent of the technique!' Xue Jiye cried inwardly after seeing this change, falling down onto the chair behind her.

In the spectators' room, the sect elders were no longer making noises. Instead, they silently stared at Yuan with a serious expression on their faces, pondering to themselves whether Yuan will really be able to comprehend 100 percent of the technique within 7 days, as it was looking increasingly likely that he would every time the stone tablet changed colors.

'It's only been 6 hours since he started studying the technique given by the Tablet of Comprehension and he has already managed to comprehend over half of the entire technique. At this rate, he'll really become the first person in history to achieve 100 percent comprehension, and he might do it in a single freaking day!' Long Yijun thought to himself.

'Where on earth did you find such a monster, my dear granddaughter?' Elder Xuan showed a bittersweet smile on his face.

Meanwhile, back in Yuan's mind where the dragon existed, even though he was like a speck of dust compared to the dragon, Yuan continued to stare back at the massive dragon despite its terrifying presence and incomprehensible size.

"What is your name, human?"

The dragon suddenly spoke to him.

"Oh? You can speak?" Yuan was pleasantly surprised by this, and he continued, "My name is Yuan."

"Yuan… You are the second person to have learned my Dragon's Gaze from the Tablet of Comprehension with the first one being a man named Long Chen. However, his comprehension abilities pale in comparison to yours, as it took him over three days to reach this far whilst it took you only a few hours, and he was frozen from shock when he first saw me." The dragon spoke in a deep and profound voice that caused the stars in the surroundings to tremble.
