As the Void Palm approached the second wooden target's heart, it actually shrunk to the size of a thumb.

Many disciples laughed when they saw this.

In their eyes, the Void Palm launched by Duan Gujin was too weak, ultimately reducing to the size of a thumb; they thought they could just blow it out with a breath.

Next, the disciples felt that the Void Palm launched by Duan Gujin couldn't possibly penetrate through the heart of the third wooden man.

As the Void Palm continued to move forward, it grew smaller and eventually became the size of a little finger.

Just when everyone thought that the little-finger-sized Void Palm could not penetrate the heart of the third wooden man, something unexpected happened; the small Void Palm still managed to pass through the heart of the third wooden man.

However, this time, after the Void Palm passed through the heart of the third wooden man, it extinguished with a puff.

"Very good, Duan Gujin, I now have a certain understanding of your strength; your Combat Power is comparable to a regular Martial Saint at the Third Level!"

The Inheriting Elder immediately said to Duan Gujin.

Hearing the Inheriting Elder's words, the disciples gasped in shock, many regretting their earlier laughter at the ridiculousness of Duan Gujin's Void Palm, now realizing it was only due to their lack of insight.

"Return to your original position! I am going to rearrange now, come up one by one and try!"

The Inheriting Elder immediately deactivated the previous Array, then replaced the three wooden men whose hearts were penetrated by Duan Gujin; thereafter, he activated the Array again, allowing the disciples below to come forward and see if they could penetrate the hearts of the wooden men.

The disciples immediately came forward to try one by one, but all failed.

A disciple released a Gang Wind towards the heart of the wooden man in front, as powerful as a tsunami, but the Gang Wind extinguished with a puff before reaching its target.

After all the disciples had tried, the Inheriting Elder stepped forward to reveal the truth.

"Among all of you just now, only Duan Gujin performed the best, everyone else's performance was very poor! Let me tell you what this Array is for; when your skills pass through this place, the weakening Array inside will come into effect, reducing the power of your skills, becoming strongest as you near the wooden man's heart! Just now, except for Duan Gujin, none of you reached the first wooden man's heart, do you know what that means? It means that your Cultivation has truly not reached the Martial Saint Realm! And passing through each wooden man's heart means that one's Combat Power has reached a certain realm! Duan Gujin passing through three wooden man's hearts means his Combat Power is comparable to Martial Saint Third Level as recognized by Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect!"

The Inheriting Elder said earnestly.

Hearing the Inheriting Elder's words, the disciples below realized the huge gap between themselves and Duan Gujin, and their expressions became very grave.

"What I just did was to let all of you understand how big the gap in strength is between yourselves and others. Don't be disheartened, compared to your peers, you are still very excellent, but there will always be people more outstanding than you in this world, right?"

The Inheriting Elder continued.

"Right!"

The disciples immediately regained their spirits, very aware that they were indeed among the best of their peers, even though they were not on par with those exceptionally talented.

"It looks like my time here at Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect is going to be very exciting!"

Many disciples thought simultaneously.

After a while, a disciple asked: "Inheriting Elder, why doesn't Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect use such Treasures to test us? The previous Heaven Seizing Exam was too dangerous! We nearly lost our lives!"

The Inheriting Elder shook his head and replied: "This type of test can only measure a person's Combat Power, but it cannot assess a person's true potential. What Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect values is a person's potential; Combat Power and potential are different concepts!"

The disciples suddenly realized.

Indeed, if Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect had used that method to test their Combat Power before, some disciples with high potential might not have been able to join Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.

Undoubtedly, that would have been a huge loss for Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.

"In Jiuzhou Continent here, there are many powerful Martial Artists, like the Jiuzhou Ten Saints, have you heard of the name Shan Yuanming?"

The Inheriting Elder asked.

"I have heard of him!"

A disciple responded.

"Then tell everyone about him!" The Inheriting Elder asked that disciple to step forward and share about Shan Yuanming with the other disciples.

"Alright!"

Following, that disciple immediately started recounting what he had heard about Shan Yuanming.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I only heard about Shan Yuanming from what the elders in my family said, I don't really know how true it is! You can consider what I say as a story, just listen for fun! They said that Shan Yuanming is a Core Disciple of Liuyun Immortal Sect, at Martial Saint Eighth Layer; he used to be a fragile scholar. During an operation, he fell in love with a female from the Demon Cultivators. That Demon woman used all her charms on him, bewitching him completely! Later, that Demon woman used him to get close to Shan Yuanming's junior brother, she was lustful and actually got involved with Shan Yuanming's junior brother; eventually, Shan Yuanming caught them cheating, and he killed that junior brother and many innocent fellow sect members while the Demon woman escaped! Because of this, Shan Yuanming was confined for five hundred years! I'm done!"

After the disciple returned to his place, the Inheriting Elder told the other disciples: "What that person said is very close to the truth, in fact, what I'm telling you here is an investigation not publicly disclosed by Liuyun Immortal Sect, that Demon woman had been involved with four of Shan Yuanming's disciples! Shan Yuanming is now insane! Isn't it a pity for him? For a woman, he drove himself mad?"

"Yes!"

Many disciples lamented.

"Right, so, I want to tell you here, you must seriously consider matters of romantic involvement! Encountering a Demon, you will end up disgraced, your lifetime of efforts will turn into naught, popping and completely disappearing! Here at Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, cultivating and these two matters are the most important for you, understand?"

The Inheriting Elder said seriously.

"Understand!"

The disciples responded.

"Very good, let's move on to the second minor test, follow me!"

The Inheriting Elder then led the group for a short distance, then they arrived at a valley.
