Supreme Lord of Towers

Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts are extremely precious, even the three major families of Kunzhou Prefecture only possess Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts, not Middle Grade ones.

However, Ouyang Zhong, being a strong figure in the Celestial Spirit Realm and the Grand Elder of War King Hall, it is not difficult for him to take out two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

As long as Ye Chen can be won over to their War King Hall, even if it’s two Upper Grade Spiritual Artifacts, he feels it’s worth it.

After all, Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Talent and Qi Sea Foundation have already shattered Celestial Flame Academy’s historical records, and even his Body Refining Talent surpasses that of past Battle King Hall Masters.

This rare genius who appears once in a millennium is absolutely worth Ouyang Zhong’s full efforts to win over.

Swish.

The next moment, Ouyang Zhong’s body transformed into a stream of light, swiftly flying in the direction of War King Hall.

He did not have a Storage Treasure on him. Bringing Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts with him would undoubtedly be highly inconvenient.

Storage Treasures are generally only possessed by legendary Immortals, and perhaps only Celestial Flame Peak Master and a few others at Celestial Flame Academy have Storage Treasures.

As for Ouyang Zhong, he is not yet qualified to obtain a Storage Treasure.

Therefore, he must go to the Treasure Pavilion in War King Hall to retrieve two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

”Ye Chen, my father has already gone to retrieve two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, soon you will be able to reunite with your adoptive parents.” A graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chen, smiling slightly at him.

This figure was none other than Ouyang Xue.

She had unknowingly descended from the Observation Platform, arriving beside Ye Chen.

”Teacher Ouyang, thank you.” Ye Chen stared intently at Ouyang Xue, his expression brimming with gratitude.

It has to be said, Ouyang Xue is truly a peerlessly beautiful woman, dressed in a fiery red robe, she possesses a tall stature and has a unique, unmatched elegance, like Fairy Guanghan descending to the mortal world.

Despite her seemingly cold exterior, Ye Chen knows her heart is warm; otherwise, she wouldn’t proactively help Ye Chen.

”Ha! Ye Chen, who would have thought that you, a good-for-nothing, could actually win the title in this year’s new student competition. I really underestimated you!” At this moment, a voice full of mockery suddenly sounded in Ye Chen’s ear.

The speaker was Duanmu Jie.

Beside him stood a beautiful girl in purple dress, her dark eyes were coldly staring at Ye Chen, as if looking at a performing clown.

”Duanmu Jie, Ye Lin’Er.” Ye Chen’s eyes instantly emitted a terrifying icy light, even his fists clenched tightly, making a piercing cracking noise.

If it weren’t for Duanmu Jie and Ye Lin’Er, his adoptive parents would not have been captured by the Duanmu Family’s Golden Dragon Guard.

Thus, seeing them fills Ye Chen’s chest with instant rage, eager to tear this pair of scoundrels into pieces.

Unfortunately, his power is currently too weak, even with all his might, there’s no assurance he could kill Duanmu Jie and Ye Lin’Er.

And even if he truly possessed this ability, he couldn’t easily lay a hand on them.

After all, they are currently Seed Students at Celestial Flame Academy, greatly valued by Master of Profound Sword Peak, Duanmu Ying.

If Ye Chen dared to kill them openly, he definitely wouldn’t withstand Duanmu Ying’s wrath.

For a strong figure at the Peak of Celestial Spirit Realm like Duanmu Ying, crushing Ye Chen would be no different from stepping on an ant.

So, regardless of how angry Ye Chen is, he can only continue to endure.

”Duanmu Jie, Ye Lin’Er, I, Ye Chen, swear that one day I’ll ensure you die with no burial place.” Ye Chen gritted his teeth, making a pledge in his heart.

”Ye Chen, your growth speed is truly astonishing! If I’d known, I shouldn’t have shown mercy and spared your life, but rather should’ve crushed you directly.” Ye Lin’Er lifted her head arrogantly, her cold eyes overlooking Ye Chen, as though a divine lady looking down on a worthless reptile.

In truth, she felt somewhat regretful.

If she’d known the life of this good-for-nothing Ye Chen was so tenacious, she should’ve killed him when she took away his bloodline.

But now, eliminating Ye Chen might still be timely.

As long as he agrees to a life-and-death battle with Duanmu Jie on the Life and Death Battle Platform, he’s bound to die, and even this old dog Ouyang Zhong couldn’t save him.

”Ye Lin’Er, the reason you have today’s status is because you stole my bloodline. Someday, I’ll make you repay a hundredfold. Someone as vicious as you doesn’t deserve to have my bloodline.” Ye Chen sneered coldly, his voice thundering like lightning in the ears of everyone around.

”What? Ye Chen, your bloodline was taken by Ye Lin’Er? What’s going on?” Ouyang Xue’s body trembled suddenly, her face growing increasingly grim.

If what Ye Chen said is true, then he’s also capable of awakening a bloodline.

However, the bloodline he was supposed to awaken has been taken by Ye Lin’Er, leading everyone to mistakenly think he couldn’t awaken one.

”Oh my! Has Ye Chen gone mad? How could Senior Sister Lin’Er possibly take his bloodline?”

”Hmph! It’s bad enough that this good-for-nothing attempts to tarnish Senior Sister Lin’Er’s reputation, but now he dares to publicly accuse her of stealing his bloodline, such a childish lie, does he really think anyone would believe him?” Many students scoffed coldly, not only disbelieving Ye Chen, but also thinking he was slandering Ye Lin’Er.

After all, Ye Lin’Er is a Seed Student of Celestial Flame Academy, greatly valued by Master of Profound Sword Peak, Duanmu Ying.

And Ye Chen?

He’s nothing but a trash unable to awaken his bloodline. Even if he lucked out and won first place in the freshman contest, becoming a candidate for seed students at Celestial Flame Academy, he still isn’t qualified to carry Ye Lin’Er’s shoes.

Unless someone has been kicked in the head by a donkey, absolutely no one would believe Ye Chen’s words.

”Bold trash, you dare slander Junior Sister Lin’Er in front of so many people, what is your intention? Do you really think that winning the freshman contest makes you invincible? To be honest, you’re not even worthy of carrying our shoes.” At this moment, Duanmu Jie suddenly shouted harshly at Ye Chen, his lips curled in mocking disdain.

He naturally didn’t believe that Ye Lin’Er would steal Ye Chen’s bloodline.

A trash like him, even if he did awaken his bloodline, how strong could he possibly become?

What qualifies him to have his bloodline taken by Ye Lin’Er?

This is simply an insult to Ye Lin’Er.

”Ye Chen, don’t think joining the War King Hall gives you free rein to speak. If I hear you slander Lin’Er again, I’ll personally kill you, trash, even if Ouyang Zhong is present, I won’t give him any face.” Inside the splendid hall, Duanmu Ying’s gaze was icy to the extreme, her whole body emanating terrifying killing intent, causing chills.

At this moment, she was completely enraged by Ye Chen’s words.

Ye Lin’Er, as one of the most talented seed students of Profound Sword Peak, had great expectations placed on her.

Thus, she absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to slander Ye Lin’Er.

If it weren’t for Ye Chen being a first-time offender, she would have already taught him a lesson.

”Ye Chen, don’t provoke the Master of Profound Sword Peak anymore, or she’ll really kill you.” Ouyang Xue couldn’t help but gasp, her expression extremely anxious, transmitting a message to Ye Chen.

”I knew no one would believe me, but one day, I’ll prove my innocence to the world.” Ye Chen bit down hard, so hard that blood seeped from his gums.

Ye Lin’Er clearly used cruel methods to take his bloodline, yet no one chose to believe him.

This was all because his power was too weak.

If his strength were great enough, whatever he said would be believed.

This world is just that realistic.

So, Ye Chen must strive to become strong, completely overshadow Ye Lin’Er.

Then, naturally, people will believe his words.

Woosh.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew rapidly from afar, clutching a silver battle sword and a black divine saber.

These two weapons emitted a sharp brilliance as if capable of slicing through heaven and earth.

They were precisely two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts that Ouyang Zhong had retrieved from the Treasure Pavilion of the War King Hall.

”Hmph! Duanmu Jie, Ye Lin’Er, what are you planning? As long as I’m here, I won’t allow anyone to harm Ye Chen, not even you. Remember, stay away from Ye Chen in the future.” Ouyang Zhong’s body floated in the air, speaking coldly to Duanmu Jie and Ye Lin’Er.

He had already learned from Ouyang Xue about the feuds between Ye Chen and Duanmu Jie and the others, so naturally, he wouldn’t allow Duanmu Jie and Ye Lin’Er to continue threatening Ye Chen.

”Elder Ouyang, don’t misunderstand, we’re just here to reminisce with Ye Chen.” Facing Ouyang Zhong’s rebuke, Duanmu Jie was nonchalant, a mocking smile on his lips.

Although Ouyang Zhong was the Grand Elder of War King Hall, ranking higher in Celestial Flame Academy than him as a seed student.

But he was a talent highly valued by Duanmu Ying, as long as he didn’t go too overboard, Ouyang Zhong wouldn’t dare do anything to him.

So, he didn’t take Ouyang Zhong’s words to heart at all.

”Duanmu Jie, I’ve brought two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts. Your Duanmu Family should be releasing Ye Chen’s adoptive father and mother by now, or do you want me to personally visit?” Ouyang Zhong sneered.

”When did I say that two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts could redeem that trash’s adoptive parents? Two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts wouldn’t even be enough to ward off beggars!” Duanmu Jie suddenly sneered, lips curled in amusement.

”Duanmu Jie, your Duanmu Family actually dared to renege.” Ye Chen’s body trembled, his face turning ashen.

He never expected that even after Ouyang Zhong brought the two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, Duanmu Jie still didn’t plan to release his adoptive father and mother.

This filled him with anxiety and rage.

”Trash, kneel before me.” At this instant, Duanmu Jie’s expression turned incredibly cold, speaking commandingly to Ye Chen.

”What?” Torrents of rage erupted from Ouyang Zhong’s eyes.

Duanmu Jie dared to make Ye Chen kneel before him, right in front of Ouyang Zhong.

Did he no longer see him, the Grand Elder of War King Hall, in his eyes?

”Trash, are you deaf? I told you to kneel, or do you not want to see your adoptive father and mother again.” Duanmu Jie’s lips curled in a cruel smile, speaking coldly to Ye Chen.

”Duanmu Jie, how dare you.” Ye Chen’s pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes turning blood-red, consumed by rage, even his nails dug into his flesh.
