Supreme Lord of Towers

In the grand and resplendent hall, more and more new students were gathering here, with the number exceeding a thousand.

”Look quickly, that guy is Ye Chen, the one who offended the Duanmu Family. His foster parents have already been taken away by the Golden Dragon Guard from the Duanmu Family.” At this moment, a student recognized Ye Chen’s identity and said with a look of schadenfreude.

”What? This guy really has some nerve, to dare offend even the Duanmu Family. I really don’t know who gave him the courage.” Many students’ attention was attracted to Ye Chen, their eyes full of astonishment, as if watching a jumping clown.

”Heh! Ye Chen, I didn’t expect you to become famous. Indeed, your foster parents were taken away by the Golden Dragon Guard in front of so many new students, you have no choice but to be known.” Ye Teng couldn’t help but sneer, his mouth full of thick ridicule, as if deliberately rubbing salt in Ye Chen’s wound.

”Get out of my sight.” Ye Chen’s gaze turned incredibly cold, with violent True Qi surging from his entire body, he violently punched towards Ye Teng.

His mood was already very bad, yet Ye Teng kept provoking him repeatedly.

How could he endure this?

”Ye Chen, how dare you.” Ye Teng’s expression suddenly changed dramatically, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

He never thought Ye Chen would have the audacity to strike at him in front of so many new students.

”Why wouldn’t I dare.” Ye Chen’s fist showed no sign of stopping, instantly appearing in front of Ye Teng, and fiercely smashing into his face.

Ah!

The next moment, a miserable scream came out of Ye Teng’s mouth, echoing in the spacious hall.

Although he immediately started circulating the True Qi within his body, he could not withstand Ye Chen’s attack. His entire face instantly caved in, even his teeth shattered by more than a dozen, accompanied by bloody water spraying from his mouth.

”Ye Teng, if you dare provoke me again, believe it or not, I will destroy your Dantian. Now, quickly get out of my sight.” Ye Chen retracted his fist, coldly said to the groaning Ye Teng on the ground, his tone extremely overbearing.

”He’s insane, this guy is really insane.” Ye Teng couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a madman.

You must know, this place is New Talent Peak, a place of the new student competition, filled with sanctity and solemnity.

But now, Ye Chen actually injured him in front of so many people.

Is he not afraid of being punished by the Celestial Flame Academy?

”Heh! A waste who hasn’t even awakened his bloodline, dares to be so arrogant, who gave you the courage?” At this moment, a burly young man suddenly walked out of the crowd, with a strong mocking smile on his lips, coldly laughing at Ye Chen.

This young man was about two meters tall, with bulging muscles, like a coiled dragon, full of terrifying explosive power, giving the impression of a humanoid demon beast.

He held his head high, looking at Ye Chen with extreme disdain, as if a noble looking down on a commoner.

”Brother Cheng Long, this lunatic is insane, quickly help me suppress him. With your strength, crushing him would be a piece of cake.” Seeing this young man, Ye Teng’s expression immediately brightened with delight, quickly hiding behind the young man, speaking to Ye Chen with false bravado.

”Oh my, could he be Cheng Long, the number one genius of Black Mountain Mansion.”

”He is a prodigy who awakened a Yellow Level First Grade bloodline! Even among the young geniuses of the 108 prefecture cities of the Celestial Flame Dynasty, his strength is one of the best.”

”Heh! I’m curious to see if this audacious guy Ye Chen dares to continue being arrogant. With Cheng Long’s strength, he could crush him with a single move.” Many new students exclaimed one after another, deeply wary of the burly young man, while some were filled with strong ridicule, eager to watch a good show.

”What are you to meddle in my affairs?” Just when everyone thought Ye Chen would back down, he suddenly sneered, his tone extremely domineering.

It was as if, in his eyes, Cheng Long was just an insignificant small character, not worthy of attention.

”Arrogant!”

”Overestimating oneself.”

”Utterly foolish.”

The surrounding new students couldn’t help but gasp in surprise, looking at Ye Chen as if he were an idiot.

One must know, Cheng Long is a genius who awakened a Yellow Level First Grade bloodline, and his cultivation had already reached the True Qi Realm Tenth Layer.

Among all the new students, except for a few young geniuses from the Royal Capital, there was hardly anyone who could be his opponent.

But now, Ye Chen actually insulted him in front of so many people.

This is simply courting death.

”Good, very good, I’ve finally understood why you offended Brother Duanmu. A fool like you, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, surviving till now is simply a miracle. However, your pathetic life ends today. In the new student competition, I will make you regret being alive.” The burly young man Cheng Long’s face suddenly turned extremely grim, with terrifying fierce light shooting from his eyes, coldly speaking to Ye Chen, his tone causing chills to anyone who heard it.

The Cheng Family, it’s the most powerful family in Black Mountain Mansion, far stronger than the Ye Family.

Even among the families in all 108 prefecture cities of the Celestial Flame Dynasty, the Cheng Family holds a prominent position.

The reason the Cheng Family possesses such a powerful foundation is because of the strong backing of the Duanmu Family.

Because of this, the Duanmu Family recently approached Cheng Long and the others, ordering them to kill Ye Chen in the new student tournament.

After all, during every new student tournament, many accidents happen, and it’s common for competitors to accidentally kill each other, with no need for punishment.

So, naturally, Cheng Long and the others agreed without hesitation.

However, what Cheng Long didn’t expect was that before the new student tournament even began, Ye Chen publicly humiliated him in front of so many new students.

This only strengthened his determination to kill Ye Chen.

”Looks like you’re a lapdog of Duanmu Jie now. I wonder, what skills do you have to kill me?” Facing Cheng Long’s threat, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a disdainful smile.

”Ha! I’m afraid this waste like you might not even get to face Cheng Long in the new student tournament and will be crushed by others beforehand. You lucked out to be the top in the entrance exam, yet you think you’re unbeatable. There are plenty of young talents in the Celestial Flame Dynasty who can crush you.” Ye Teng sneered at Ye Chen from behind Cheng Long.

This is a typical case of bullying under someone else’s power.

”Ye Chen, cherish your remaining time. Brother Duanmu wants you dead, and no one can save you, no matter where you hide. Let’s go.” Cheng Long glanced at Ye Chen with a mocking expression and then walked into the crowd.

”Wait for me, Brother Cheng Long.” Ye Teng couldn’t help but swallow nervously, eyes full of terror, as he hurriedly chased after Cheng Long.

If it weren’t for Cheng Long supporting him, he wouldn’t even have the courage to face Ye Chen.

Because Ye Chen, this madman, might actually cripple his Dantian at any moment.

”It’s over. Ye Chen is doomed this time.”

”Duanmu Jie is a seed student at Celestial Flame Academy and comes from the Duanmu Family. Killing Ye Chen is a piece of cake for him, with plenty eager to do it for him.”

”Hmph! Blame it on his overconfidence, daring to offend even Brother Duanmu, without considering his own weight.” The new students whispered among themselves, some feeling sorry for Ye Chen, while others were gloating.

In any case, to all the new students, Ye Chen was unlikely to escape this predicament.

Given Duanmu Jie’s status and position, killing a new student with no backing in the new student tournament is no different from crushing an ant.

Unless Ye Chen could possess extraordinarily strong combat strength.

However, if he were truly that strong, he would have already been selected as a seed student by Celestial Flame Academy and wouldn’t need to participate in the new student tournament.

”Look, it’s Duanmu Xiong, he finally shows up.” At this moment, many students exclaimed, their eyes drawn to a boy in black armor.

As for Ye Chen, no one spared him another glance.

Because he was in a completely different league from this black-armored youth.

If Duanmu Xiong was a lofty True Dragon, then Ye Chen was just a lowly ant.

The gap between them was as vast as the difference between the moon and a firefly.

”Duanmu Xiong is the second most talented among the younger generation of the Duanmu Family, next to Duanmu Jie, and is said to also have awakened a Profound Level bloodline.”

”If not for his Profound Bloodline failing to reach the fifth grade, he would have already been named a seed student by Celestial Flame Academy.”

”Nonetheless, he still has a great chance to become a seed student in the future, and this new student tournament’s first place will likely fall into his hands.” The new students couldn’t help but discuss, their gazes filled with admiration and awe.

Especially among some girls, who couldn’t help but scream, their expressions filled with excitement, as if they might faint at any moment.

”Hmph! So what if he has a Profound Bloodline? Dare to compete with me for first place, and I’ll trample them all underfoot.” Ye Chen sneered inwardly, his confidence evident in his eyebrows.

Now, seeing anyone from the Duanmu Family filled him with anger and hostility.

After all, his adoptive parents were captured by the Duanmu Family’s Golden Dragon Guard.

This time, no matter who comes, he will not let anyone snatch the first place in the new student tournament from him.

Only by winning the first place will he have the capital needed to rescue his adoptive parents.
