Supreme Lord of Towers

”Ye Hao, you coward, why do you run every time you see Brother Ye Chen? Did you do something guilty?”

”Get out of here.” A few students from the War King Hall suddenly blocked Ye Hao’s path, mocking him.

One of them even gave Ye Hao a hard shove, pushing him out of the crowd.

They saw Ye Chen chasing Ye Hao and thought Ye Hao had offended Ye Chen, so they all wanted to show off in front of Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen is now Ouyang Zhong’s favorite, and many students from the War King Hall want to curry favor with him.

”Stop it right now! Who told you to push Brother Ye Hao?” Ye Chen saw Ye Hao being shoved out of the crowd and couldn’t help but let anger flash in his eyes.

It seems Ye Hao has really had a rough time at Celestial Flame Academy all these years. Even some nobodies dare to bully him.

”Misunderstanding, Brother Ye Chen, this is a misunderstanding. Please don’t hold a grudge against me, forgive me this time.” The student who pushed Ye Hao’s face drastically changed and quickly pleaded with Ye Chen.

”Hmph! If I ever see someone bullying Brother Ye Hao again, I’ll make them regret living in this world.” Ye Chen said coldly, with a frightening gleam flashing in his eyes, making even souls shiver.

”Yes, yes!” The student quickly nodded, trembling with fear, even his legs were shaking.

As you know, he is just an Outer Disciple of the War King Hall, not even reaching the Gang Qi Realm.

With Ye Chen’s strength, dealing with him is as easy as pie.

”What’s going on? Why is Brother Ye Chen treating this cowardly Ye Hao so well?”

”This coward has been a disgrace to our War King Hall since he was severely injured by Brother Luo Yang three years ago and his internal injuries never healed. Until now, his cultivation is only at the True Qi Realm Eighth Layer.” Many students from the War King Hall whispered secretly, looking at Ye Hao with deep disdain.

Bear in mind, Ye Hao has been in War King Hall for four years.

Even for a student with poor talent, within four years, their cultivation should at least reach the True Qi Realm Tenth Layer.

But Ye Hao, until now, his cultivation is only at the True Qi Realm Eighth Layer, essentially making him the most useless person in the history of War King Hall.

This has made him a laughingstock in Celestial Flame Academy, and even students from the War King Hall disdain him, considering him a disgrace to the War King Hall.

”Don’t say too much, be careful Ye Chen hears you.”

”This coward has Brother Ye Chen as his backing now; we’d better not provoke him anymore.” An Outer Disciple said with a look of fear.

Ye Chen won first place in the newcomer competition and even defeated Duanmu Xiong.

This proves he already has the strength to challenge Gang Qi Realm experts across levels.

Students in the War King Hall’s Outer Sect haven’t broken through the Gang Qi Realm, so they naturally fear Ye Chen to the extreme.

Only those Inner Sect students don’t take Ye Chen seriously.

In their view, Ye Chen’s cultivation is no more than the True Qi Realm Seventh Layer, so how powerful could he possibly be?

There are many among their group of Inner Sect students who can defeat Ye Chen.

”Brother Ye Hao, what’s wrong with your leg? Who hurt you?” Ye Chen stared at Ye Hao, his expression extremely angry.

Although he had been separated from Ye Hao for four years, he could never forget Ye Hao’s kindness to him.

In his heart, Ye Hao was like his own elder brother, caring and looking after him in every way.

But now, in Celestial Flame Academy, he finds Ye Hao has had his right leg broken by someone.

This made Ye Chen feel heartbroken, filling his chest with fury, and even his eyes turned blood red.

”Ye Chen, I accidentally fell and injured my right leg; it has nothing to do with anyone else! You have now become a Seed Student candidate, and we’re not in the same league anymore. There’s no need for you to waste time on me; go and cultivate.” Ye Hao lowered his head, not daring to meet Ye Chen’s eyes, filled with deep inferiority.

Since he was severely injured by Luo Yang three years ago, he has become extremely despondent.

Even when others bullied him, he didn’t resist.

Over time, he became the coward in everyone’s eyes, a target for anyone’s bad mood to vent on.

However, he dared not tell Ye Chen these things.

Although Ye Chen defeated Duanmu Xiong in the newcomer competition, becoming the champion.

But now, his cultivation is after all only at the True Qi Realm Seventh Layer, making him unlikely to be a match for Luo Yang.

If he tells Ye Chen the truth, knowing Ye Chen’s disposition, he definitely won’t be able to swallow this anger and will go to seek revenge against Luo Yang.

If that time comes, he will only end up harming Ye Chen.

Moreover, Ye Chen is soon going to step onto the Life and Death Battle Platform to fight to the death with Duanmu Jie; his time is extremely precious.

Ye Hao truly doesn’t want Ye Chen to waste a moment on his behalf.

”Big brother Ye Hao, no matter how strong I become, you will always be my brother in my heart. Don’t say such things anymore! As for who hurt you, I will find out myself. If I find out who did it, I will make them pay a hundredfold.” Ye Chen said coldly, his entire body emanating a murderous aura.

”Ye Chen.” Tears welled up in Ye Hao’s eyes.

He truly didn’t expect that even though he had become like this, Ye Chen still treated him so well.

”Big brother Ye Hao, I’ll go cultivate in the Spiritual Waterfall first. When I come out, let’s have a proper reunion; I have so much to talk to you about.” Ye Chen said with a slight smile to Ye Hao, then walked towards the deepest part of the Spiritual Waterfall.

The Spiritual Waterfall is divided into three major regions.

The outermost region has the thinnest Spiritual Qi, and many Outer Sect students are only qualified to cultivate here.

As for the Central Region, the Spiritual Qi is many times more concentrated than the outer region, but only the talented students from the War King Hall are qualified to cultivate here.

For example, Luo Yang has been cultivating in the Central Region for years, which is why his cultivation has advanced so quickly.

And the most core area hasn’t been entered for cultivation in many years.

It’s specially reserved for those rare talents highly regarded by the upper echelons of the War King Hall.

”Look, Senior Brother Ye Chen has entered the core area of the Spiritual Waterfall.”

”It’s said that the Spiritual Qi in the core area is several dozen times more concentrated than in the outer region. Cultivating there for one day is equivalent to cultivating in the outer region for a month.” Many students from the War King Hall exclaimed in astonishment, their eyes full of deep envy.

”Senior Brother Luo Yang, it’s Ye Chen, he actually got access to the core area of the Spiritual Waterfall.” At this moment, some Inner Sect students cultivating in the Central Region also noticed Ye Chen’s figure.

When they saw Ye Chen entering the core area, their expressions turned extremely sour, their hearts filled with jealousy.

”A worthless person who can’t even awaken his bloodline actually has the qualification to enter the core area to cultivate, on what grounds?” Luo Yang’s fists clenched tightly, his face dark and stormy, as if water could drip from it.

One has to know that even being a genius in the War King Hall, he could only stay in the Central Region of the Spiritual Waterfall all these years.

As for the core area, he didn’t even dare to dream about it.

Yet Ye Chen, a so-called worthless newbie in the War King Hall, could enter the core area to cultivate.

How could he accept this?

”Hmph! So what if he can enter the core area to cultivate? In the life-or-death duel a month from now, he will still be easily crushed by Senior Brother Duanmu.”

”That’s right, entering there to cultivate is just wasting cultivation resources.” Many Inner Sect students envious of Ye Chen sneered, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a dead man.

”What a disappointment. By the way, I remember that worthless Ye Hao also came to the Spiritual Waterfall today, just the right person to vent on. Hmph! It’s been a long time since I’ve dealt with him.” A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Luo Yang’s lips, causing chills to run down one’s spine.

Swish.

The next moment, he stepped toward the outer region of the Spiritual Waterfall.

”Such rich Spiritual Qi, the core area of the Spiritual Waterfall truly lives up to its name. Cultivating here is even better than absorbing an Earth Spirit Stone. No wonder even the other three major factions are always in the Spiritual Waterfall.” At this moment, in the core area of the Spiritual Waterfall, Ye Chen couldn’t help but marvel.

His body was struck by the Spiritual Waterfall cascading from the high heavens, yet he stood as still as a rock.

A massive stream of Spiritual Qi continuously surged out from the Spiritual Waterfall, infiltrating the deepest part of Ye Chen’s dantian, rapidly expanding his Sea of Qi.

The speed at which it happened was even faster than using an Earth Spirit Stone to expand the Sea of Qi.

”Master, someone is about to make a move on your friend. You should go out and have a look,” at that moment, the Tower Spirit furrowed his brow and said to Ye Chen.

”What? They must be courting death.” Ye Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes spewing raging flames, and his form flashed, turning into a frenzied beast as he rushed rapidly toward the core area’s exit.

Just a moment ago, he warned everyone not to bully Ye Hao anymore.

But it’s only been a short while, and someone dared to lay a hand on Ye Hao.

This was simply a deliberate provocation against him.
