Supreme Lord of Towers

Inside the Talent Hall, a sudden silence fell.

Everyone’s eyes simultaneously fell on Ye Chen, with expressions turning incredibly peculiar.

”Isn’t this Ye Chen, the useless one? Why is he here too?” Many people started to sneer, their eyes full of disdain and contempt.

Now, all the cultivators in Kunzhou Prefecture City were aware of Ye Chen’s attempt to defile Ye Lin’Er.

In their eyes, Ye Chen had already become synonymous with failure and disgrace, and everyone sneered at him.

But now, this useless person dared to appear at the admissions examination of the Celestial Flame Academy. Who gave him such courage?

”Ha! Ye Ming, you’re really tough to kill. Last time, you tried to steal the White Moon Wolf King I killed in the Canglan Mountain Range and ended up crippled by me. Yet, here you are, facing me again. How shameless can you be?” At this moment, Luo Family Patriarch Luo Tong, sitting above on the high platform, sneered, his mouth full of mockery.

”Luo Tong, shut up!” Ye Chen suddenly roared, his eyes coldly staring at Luo Tong, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.

The last time, Luo Tong seized the moment when his godfather’s strength was nearly exhausted to launch a sneak attack on him.

And now, he dared to slander his godfather instead.

This shameless conduct was truly infuriating.

If Ye Chen had enough strength, he would have surely slaughtered Luo Tong on the spot to avenge his godfather.

”How dare you.”

”Insolence.”

”A mere useless person dares to speak disrespectfully to our Patriarch. Are you courting death?”

The next moment, many strong people from the Luo Family were infuriated by Ye Chen’s words, and killing intent surged from them as they rebuked Ye Chen harshly.

”Humph! Little brat, you must be quite bold to talk to me like that. If it wasn’t for the admissions examination taking place here today, you would already be dead.” Luo Tong said coldly, his eyes flashing with a terrifying cold light.

After all, he is the Patriarch of the Luo Family, and there were very few in Kunzhou Prefecture that did not fear him.

Yet Ye Chen, who couldn’t even open up his Sea of Qi, dared to speak boldly to him.

To him, it was nothing short of a huge insult.

Had it not been for the presence of two teachers from the Celestial Flame Academy beside him, he would have already ordered Ye Chen’s death.

”Enough, everyone quiet down for me.” At this moment, the white-dressed woman Liu Xin suddenly spoke, her tone full of authority.

Even Luo Tong’s face changed slightly, and he hastily shut his mouth, not daring to oppose Liu Xin in the slightest.

”Audacious scoundrel, daring to act presumptuously at our Celestial Flame Academy’s admissions examination. Who gave you the nerve?” Liu Xin stared at Ye Chen indifferently, rebuking him harshly as if she were a Divine Lady pronouncing judgment on a lowly ant.

Although she didn’t know who Ye Chen was, anyone who dared to act out at the Celestial Flame Academy’s admissions examination wouldn’t end well.

”Is she the teacher of Celestial Flame Academy?” Ye Chen’s face became extremely unsightly, with even his body hair standing on end involuntarily.

The pressure from the white-dressed woman before him was overwhelming, as if she could easily crush him at the lift of a hand.

Even though he had just begun to cultivate the Human Emperor Body, he was still powerless against this white-dressed woman.

”Ha! This time Ye Chen is dead for sure.”

”This useless person doesn’t even have a bit of self-awareness. He dared to run wild in the Talent Hall, truly deserving of death.” The surrounding cultivators sneered, many with schadenfreude written all over their faces.

”Teacher Liu, this oblivious fool is also here for the examination. Spare his pathetic life for now. If you kill him, the examination might become a lot less interesting.” As the tense atmosphere reached a standstill, Duanmu Jie suddenly smiled slyly and spoke with a teasing tone.

”Oh, Duanmu Jie, is this the person you were talking about?” Liu Xin asked, looking surprised.

She originally thought the person Duanmu Jie mentioned must have an unusual background, otherwise, Duanmu Jie wouldn’t have come here personally to watch the examination.

Yet she hadn’t expected it to be Ye Chen, this brazen fool.

”That’s right, Teacher Liu. If you are displeased with him, you can wait until the examination is over to kill him. Anyway, this kind of useless person could never become a student of Celestial Flame Academy.” Duanmu Jie sneered, his eyes full of mockery.

”Fine, considering Duanmu Jie’s sake, I’ll spare your life for now. But if you dare act out again, I’ll have you disappear from this world immediately.” Liu Xin coldly said to Ye Chen.

”Damn it, this woman is so unreasonable. When did I act out at the admissions examination?” At this time, Ye Chen felt both angry and aggrieved.

He had merely told Luo Tong to shut up and did nothing else.

Yet, in Liu Xin’s words, it turned into him acting out at the admissions examination.

It was terribly unjust.

The more this was the case, the more Ye Chen felt the need to achieve a good result in the admissions examination.

Otherwise, Liu Xin would certainly not spare him.

”Since everyone is here, let the examination begin.” Liu Xin’s gaze quickly moved away from Ye Chen, not bothering to spare him another glance.

Her voice was filled with authority as she announced to everyone.

Buzz.

The next moment, a stone pillar covered in patterns slowly rose from the ground in the center of the Talent Hall, standing tall before everyone’s eyes.

This stone pillar was five zhang high, emanating a faint divine light, akin to an unparalleled treasure.

This pillar, known as the Talent Spiritual Pillar, was specifically used to test a cultivator’s bloodline and martial arts talent.

In Kunzhou Prefecture, the Talent Hall was the only place with such a pillar, built many years ago by strong individuals from Celestial Flame Academy.

Cultivators from the three major families, once they awakened their bloodline, would secretly come to the Talent Hall to test their levels.

For example, Ye Lin’Er’s Profound Level Seventh Grade bloodline was tested using this Talent Spiritual Pillar.

”Our Celestial Flame Academy’s admissions examination consists of three test items, the first being to test the bloodline level and martial arts talent within you.” As the entire Talent Spiritual Pillar rose from the ground, Liu Xin spoke again.

”The first test item is finally about to begin.”

”I wonder if anyone will have a Profound Level bloodline in this admissions examination?” Many spectators couldn’t help but discuss, their eyes full of anticipation.

”A Profound Level bloodline is unlikely unless Ye Lin’Er also participates in the test.”

”Yes, throughout history, very few in Kunzhou Prefecture have awakened a Profound Level bloodline. This time should be no different.” Many elder cultivators shook their heads and sighed.

A Profound Level bloodline is exceedingly rare, not only in Kunzhou Prefecture but even in the entire Celestial Flame Dynasty, where individuals awakening such a bloodline are scarce.

Such people have a high chance of becoming Seed Students of the Celestial Flame Academy.

Thus, among the younger generation in Kunzhou Prefecture, Ye Lin’Er might be the only one to awaken a Profound Level bloodline.

For others, the probability of awakening a Profound Level bloodline is exceedingly low.

”Now, put your golden papers into this box. When your name is called, come forward to test your bloodline.” Liu Xin pointed to a purple sandalwood box in front of her.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Quickly, young cultivators from the three major families took out a golden paper from their bodies, carefully placing it into the purple sandalwood box, including Ye Chen.

He had received his golden paper yesterday from Ye Kun, who reluctantly handed it to him.

Without this golden paper, he wouldn’t even qualify to participate in the admissions examination.

”Look, even that useless Ye Chen has a golden paper.”

”Why does someone who can’t even open his Sea of Qi have a spot in the admissions examination? Isn’t this a waste?” Many spectators exclaimed, their eyes filled with envy and disdain.

”Ha! His godfather was the former Patriarch of the Ye Family. Ye Ming must have abused his power to secretly give Ye Chen the examination spot. A person like that, having his Patriarch position replaced, deserves no sympathy.” Someone remarked sarcastically, delighted in others’ misfortune.

”Godfather, you paid such a high price for my spot. I will not let you down.” Ye Chen could not help but clench his fists tightly, vowing in his heart.
