Wen Yiyang gave a shocked cry, looking at the Sage Stone in disbelief.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
On the Sage Stone, cracked fine lines actually appeared!
When everyone saw this scene, they all unconsciously became nervous, not understanding what happened.
“Senior, what’s going on here? Could it be the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain’s effect?” Ye Yuan asked Dustless.
“Heh, this Sage Stone is merely a divine lord’s profound treasure. To actually dare pry into the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, isn’t this an elderly person eating arsenic, seeking death?” Dustless said disdainfully.
Ye Yuan felt his head swell. If this was broken, the Wu Meng Academy would definitely suspect him.
“Senior, can you make the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain pull back or not? At this rate, I’ll be screwed,” Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.
Dustless smiled and said, “You refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, why did you come and ask me instead?”
Ye Yuan was stunned, hurriedly revolving the Chaos Heavenspan Canon in secret, attempting to communicate with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.
Sure enough, that oppression released by the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain gradually restrained itself.
When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he heaved a sigh in relief too.
After the intense tremor, the Sage Stone finally stabilized.
Those cracked fine lines were already slowly repairing itself.
Seeing this scene, only then, did Wen Yiyang’s expression get a little better.
“Academy Head, this … what’s going on here?” Ye Yuan pretended to be frightened and said.
Wen Yiyang was also uncertain and shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. This kind of situation has never appeared before in the past. Did you have any special feelings just now?”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “No.”
Wen Yiyang frowned and said, “Then that’s strange. I feel … the Sage Stone seems to be afraid of something! But now, it should have recovered to normal. Let’s continue the ceremony then! Carve the characters!”
Ye Yuan nodded his head, leaped up, and soared to the sky.
Clank!
The Evil Extermination suddenly moved out, engraving ‘Ye Yuan,’ two big words, on the Sage Stone!
Ye Yuan landed. Those two large characters immediately became dazzlingly golden, glaring and eye-catching.
When everyone saw Ye Yuan’s valiantness and heroic bearing, they were all incredibly envious.
When Qin Tian looked at this scene, for the first time in his life, he felt jealousy, this emotion.
All along, he had always been the object of jealousy.
In his eyes, there was only the Divine Lord Realm. He had no rivals among peers at all.
But today, that youth whom he sentenced as a dead man entered the Hall of Fame ahead of him, becoming the youngest Hall of Fame member in Wu Meng Academy’s history!
He looked at Ye Yuan’s back view, a cold light glinting in his eyes.
Qin Tian already made up his mind, the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time, he had to let Ye Yuan die inside!
“Congratulations to Ye Yuan for immortalizing his name! Respectfully see the sage off into the Hall of Fame!”
Under Wen Yiyang’s voice, the Sage Stone concealed into the void once more, disappearing.
“Starting from today, you all shall receive Ye Yuan’s kindness. Bow and pay homage to the sage!” Wen Yiyang said to all of the students.
Qin Tian, Wang Song, as well as the Qin Family’s disciples all revealed very ugly expressions on their faces.
Especially Qin Tian, he actually had to bow down and pay respects to Ye Yuan. This was simply even more awful than killing him.
“One bow!”
Several thousand students on the plaza bowed down towards Ye Yuan. Wang Song’s expression changed a few times, finally still bending his waist down unwillingly.
On the entire plaza, only Qin Tian alone stood still.
Wen Yiyang’s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, “Qin Tian, why … aren’t you moving?”
Qin Tian’s face was livid, the resentment in his head rising to the extreme.
Ye Yuan looked at Qin Tian rather interestedly, very much wanting to see what he will do.
Ye Yuan also never expected at the beginning that handing over Sundering Stars actually still had this kind of secondary effect.
This Qin Tian did not place him in his sights at all back then. But now, he had to bow toward him. He was probably extremely unwilling, right?
Qin Tian’s expression changed several times, and he said out loud, “Lord Academy Head, Qin Tian will never cultivate this sword for life, there’s no need to bow to him!”
Ye Yuan was rather surprised. He did not expect that this guy was still quite resolute.
It was then that Wen Yiyang gave a cold snort and said, “You don’t cultivate this sword. But could it be that you’re not a student of Wu Meng Academy? You dare to guarantee that your clansmen won’t cultivate this sword either? Predecessors plant trees for descendants to enjoy the shade under the tree! The martial techniques and cultivation methods left behind by past sages benefit generation after generation. What right … do you have to not bow?”
Qin Tian’s knuckles were clenched until they cracked. Finally, he still lowered his proud head and bowed down toward Ye Yuan.
He knew that the outcome of continuing to contradict Wen Yiyang was being kicked out of Wu Meng Academy.
Even the Qin Family could not possibly compare foundations with the Wu Meng Academy.
Being chased out, he would have nothing worthy of praise!
Seeing this scene, a hint of a smile showed at the corners of Ye Yuan’s mouth.
This guy still submitted in the end.
At this time, Qin Tian just happened to finish bowing. Raising his head and seeing this hint of a smile, that sense of humiliation instantly filled his chest.
“Second bow!” Wen Yiyang shouted again.
Everyone bowed again!
Qin Tian felt like he was about to explode. But he had no choice but to bow toward Ye Yuan once more.
“Third bow!”
Qin Tian’s entire body trembled as he bowed down once more!
“Ceremony complete!”
The moment Wen Yiyang’s voice fell, Qin Tian immediately flicked his sleeves and left.
Today was a day of extreme humiliation for him.
He and Ye Yuan could not live under the same sky, but he had no choice but to bow towards this enemy. This was truly a tragedy.
After everyone dissipated, Little Fatty Xie Jingyi found Ye Yuan and said with a wild laugh, “Did you see Qin Tian’s expression? Hahaha … Just now, it really killed Lord Fatty, me! But I didn’t dare to laugh and nearly stifled out internal injuries. Hahaha …”
Little Fatty’s laughter was as if no one was around drew a series of sidelong glances. The Qin Family’s disciples all used indignant gazes to look over.
Sensing these unfriendly gazes, Little Fatty chortled and said, “What? Want to hit me? Come on! Come hit me! Hahaha … I just like to see the appearance of you all be pissed off looking at me, and can’t kill me off.”
Ye Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head. Ever since the incident last time, this punk seemed to have become a different person.
Although he was still that joker personality, he was no longer as weak as before but became incomparably arrogant.
…
Sundering Stars becoming a supreme academy skill naturally drew the attention of many students.
Its power, everyone had borne witness to it before. Everyone all coveted it immensely.
But they only discovered to their dismay after spending points to exchange for it that this martial technique was seriously too profound!
Even if Ye Yuan’s personal journal was very detailed, their understanding was also very difficult.
The more Wen Yiyang studied
Sundering Stars, the more shocked he got. He discovered to his surprise that with his realm, he actually had many hard to understand areas about this martial technique too.
But without a doubt, this was a powerful to the extreme martial technique.
Ye Yuan did not hold back. On the contrary, he made a lot of notes.
It was just that this martial technique had some areas that corresponded with the Chaos Heavenspan Canon. Without cultivating this cultivation method before, wanting to thoroughly grasp Sundering Stars was simply as hard as ascending to heaven!
Wen Yiyang studied with great concentration for a month’s time and was actually only able to unleash 50% of Sundering Stars’ power too!
He wanted to advance another step, but he could not do it no matter what.
Chapter 1393. Hundred Cities Smelting Trial |
“Ye Yuan, not good! Things are bad! Uh, Teacher Chi?”
Little Fatty rushed into Ye Yuan’s residence very impatiently. He discovered that Ye Yuan was sitting opposite Chi Fang.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Isn’t it just releasing a list? Is there a need to kick up such a fuss?”
Little Fatty was stunned and said, “You knew?”
Ye Yuan said, “Teacher Chi already told me. Why? You were chosen too?”
The moment Little Fatty heard, he said gleefully, “That is, of course! This Lord Fatty already made it to the sixth level in Rockwind Cave! That’s an absolute elite disciple!”
This time, it was Ye Yuan’s turn to get a shock. The Rockwind Cave was the same as the Sword Tomb; both are places to clear challenges.
It was just that the Sword Tomb was a place for cultivating Sword Dao, while the Rockwind Cave was a place to cultivate laws of wind.
This Little Fatty never said it in front of him before all this while. Ye Yuan did not expect that he actually already cleared to the Rockwind Cave’s sixth level!
One had to know that even Qin Shao was also merely Sword Tomb sixth level’s strength right now.
Little Fatty’s talent in the aspect of wind laws was truly seldom-seen.
Six years had already passed since Ye Yuan entered the Hall of Fame.
These six years’ time, Ye Yuan passed it very peacefully. Virtually no one came to find trouble with him.
Since then, the Qin Family was low-profile in front of Ye Yuan to the extreme. No one came to provoke him before.
This way, Ye Yuan’s six years were also devoted to cultivation.
He got a large batch of Tier 1 divine rank spirit medicines from the Myriad Treasure Tower and Wu Meng Academy in batches to study medicinal properties.
Ye Yuan researched for 30 years in the World Suppressing Stele and finally thoroughly grasped the medicinal properties of Tier 1 high-grade medicinal pills, and created a new batch of medicinal pills.
The Myriad Treasure Tower that obtained the pill formulas naturally made a huge fortune again.
For this, the Myriad Treasure Tower gave Ye Yuan 50 million low-grade divine essence stones again as a reward.
The remainder of the three years’ time, Ye Yuan continued to endure in the Sword Tomb to be abused, continuously perfecting Sundering Stars.
A few days ago, Ye Yuan already passed through the Sword Tomb’s third level and entered the fourth level.
Right at this time, Chi Fang came over, telling him that the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial was about to start.
And he was selected as one of the students participating in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial.
This was originally a very normal thing. The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial in itself was choosing the most outstanding students to go and take part in.
Ye Yuan’s performance was so eye-catching, there was no reason not to choose him. This had no areas for people to criticize.
But among the two teachers leading the team this time, one of them was a Qin Family’s member!
“These few years, the Qin Family has been very quiet. I didn’t expect that their goal was actually the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time! I went to find the academy head, even he can’t do anything about it either! Ye Yuan, you have to be careful on this trip!” Chi Fang said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan said, “I didn’t expect that the Qin Family’s power is so great, to actually be able to influence the decision-making of the academy!”
Chi Fang nodded and said, “The Myriad Treasure Tower is an outside force after all. Its influence in the academy is too weak. But the Qin Family is different. They have operated in Wu Meng Capital City for God knows how many generations already. Regardless of whether it is in the academy or in the City Lord Manor, their power is deeply rooted, their influence tremendous. Although they don’t dare to contend with the academy on the surface, pulling some underhanded tricks in secret is really impossible to guard against.”
Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, “Looks like the Qin Family still doesn’t know how to the word ‘pain’ is written. Then I’ll have to teach them well!”
Chi Fang gave a sigh and said, “Ye Yuan, this time … it’s Qin Tian personally taking action! The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time, you don’t think about scoring any achievements anymore. After entering the mystic realm, best to find a place to hide and come out again when the trial ends. I’ve also arranged for an inner-court disciple this time. At that time, he’ll take care of you.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Many thanks, Teacher Chi!”
…
The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial was a joint trial carried out by a hundred capital cities in order to train the disciples under them.
Those taking part in this trial were all the pinnacle-most disciples of the various major capital cities.
Hence, Ye Yuan being selected was also something within reason.
It was just that Ye Yuan got to know from Chi Fang that the Qin Family’s descendants during this trip were as many as three people.
The Qin Family did not only have Qin Tian, one single genius.
It was just that his light was too dazzling, making others seem rather mediocre.
Apart from Qin Tian, the Qin Family disciples participating in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time also had Qin Pei and Qin Zheng, two heaven camp geniuses.
These two were also grand completion Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses.
While outer-court disciples still had Qin Shao as well as two other Qin Family disciples.
The trial this time only selected a total of 30 disciples to take part. The Qin Family occupied six spots.
The might of the Qin Family could be seen at a glance.
In front of them was an octagonal altar. Wu Meng Academy’s students already all finished assembling, transporting from this altar into the mystic realm.
When Wen Yiyang saw that everyone was here, he slowly opened his mouth and said, “Those present are all my Wu Meng Capital City’s young generation’s distinguished talents! The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial concerns my Wu Meng Capital City’s prestige. After you all enter the mystic realm, you have to make a united effort and strive for the best! But most importantly, it’s still returning safely! The academy advocates competition. Among you all, there are more or less some grudges. I don’t wish to hear some news of internecine fighting when everyone returns. Otherwise, the academy will punish the people involved with due severity!”
Finished talking, Wen Yiyang’s gaze swept over everyone’s faces. The students all felt fearful in their hearts.
Wen Yiyang’s words were actually said for the Qin Family’s people to hear.
Ye Yuan’s talent was clearly a notch above Qin Tian’s. He did not wish for Ye Yuan to have any mishap.
It was just that this time, the Qin Family exerted pressure through the Elders Association, making the Qin Family’s Qin Yuanlong lead the team, adding many variables.
Wen Yiyang had no choice and could only give a warning or two verbally.
The rest will have to depend on Ye Yuan himself.
“Academy Head, r
est assured. Yuanlong definitely won’t fail the mission this time!” Qin Yuanlong immediately expressed his attitude.
Wen Yiyang nodded his head but did not say much. He just said coolly, “Alright, set off.”
The group stood on the altar. But when Ye Yuan turned back, Little Fatty’s figure was already gone, and he involuntarily started searching in the crowd. Ye Yuan discovered that he already ran to a very delicate and pretty looking girl’s side since goodness knows when.
The normally casual Little Fatty actually became bashful at this time, rather like a lady.
“X-Xiu-er,” Xie Jingyi said shyly.
Ye Yuan came to a realization. It turned out that this senior apprentice sister was the Xiu-er in Xie Jingyi’s mouth, Lin Xiu!
This kid really hid deep enough, to actually not even mention it to him until now.
Ye Yuan thought all along that Lin Xiu should still be in Brilliant Peace City. Did not expect that she was actually an inner-court heaven camp disciple.
Seeing Xie Jingyi said hello, Lin Xiu’s brows furrowed, and she said, “Call me your senior apprentice sister!”
Xie Jingyi’s expression changed, and he said stammeringly, “S-Senior Apprentice Sister!”
Lin Xiu’s brows spread out slightly. Her tone also eased up a little, and she said, “I didn’t expect that you actually really passed the entrance examination! Furthermore, you even obtained the qualifications to participate in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial!”
Xie Jingyi had a look of joy and said, “That is, of course! I am a grown man. If I can’t even do this, how can I be fit to be Xiu-er’s man?”
Chapter 1394. Killing with a Borrowed Knife |
Bang!
Little Fatty’s round body flew straight out.
“Ouch, my butt!” Little Fatty wailed miserably.
Toward this poser little fatty, everyone all snickered endlessly.
“Heh, this reckless and blind thing, to actually dare be frivolous toward Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Xiu, his brain is spoiled, right?”
“Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Xiu is the inner-court disciples’ top talent. This little fatty actually had improper thoughts toward her, it’s really a toad lusting after swan meat!”
