Supreme Lord of Towers

At this moment, inside a palace not far from the White Jade Battle Platform, sat three figures.

They were the Celestial Flame Peak Master, Duanmu Ying, and the Soul Palace Master, Chen Fei.

”Hmph! That Ouyang Ren really doesn’t know his own limits. He isn’t even a Seed Student, yet he dreams of holding onto the position of Chief Disciple. It’s simply self-humiliation,” Duanmu Ying said coldly, eyes filled with disdain.

”Then we have no choice but to make him give up the position of Chief Disciple. But the question is, who should defeat him?” The Soul Palace Master Chen Fei frowned slightly.

This time, apart from Duanmu Ying, even the Soul Palace Master Chen Fei and the Celestial Flame Peak Master hoped that students from their factions could win the position of Chief Disciple of the War King Hall.

After all, this position is crucial, directly related to the ability to take the Hall Master’s test of the War King Hall.

”Let Zi Xuan go first. He has some personal grievances with Ye Chen. After he defeats Ouyang Ren, then it will be Ye Chen’s turn,” Duanmu Ying’s lips curled into a cold smile, a terrifying murderous intent flashing deep within her eyes.

”Alright, since Junior Sister Duanmu has personally suggested it, I will honor your request,” the Soul Palace Master nodded.

He naturally knew that Duanmu Ying harbored a deep hatred for Ye Chen.

After all, Duanmu Jie, who was killed by Ye Chen, was Duanmu Ying’s beloved nephew!

Duanmu Ying’s desire for revenge for her nephew was only natural.

So, he decided to grant Duanmu Ying this favor.

”Anyway, Zi Xuan has to fight Hongye and the others after he wins the Chief Disciple position, so it doesn’t matter if he goes first,” the Celestial Flame Peak Master stroked his chin beard, speaking calmly.

In his view, even if Zi Xuan defeats Ouyang Ren and takes his Chief Disciple position, it doesn’t guarantee he will become the Chief Disciple.

Because he still has to face challenges from Ning Hongye and Chen Bai, the two great experts.

Only the one who wins in the end will be the true Chief Disciple of the War King Hall.

And he had full confidence in Ning Hongye’s strength.

Besides having high body refining talent, Ning Hongye’s awakened bloodline is also powerful and shouldn’t lose to Zi Xuan and Chen Bai.

”Ouyang Ren, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Hand over the Chief Disciple position obediently. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety. After all, fists don’t have eyes, and Zi Xuan’s strength far surpasses yours. It would be unfortunate if you got hurt by accident.” At that moment, Duanmu Ying’s cold voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears, bringing a great sense of oppression.

”Hmph! It’s like a cat mourning a mouse, false compassion. Master of Profound Sword Peak, don’t think I don’t know you’ve been coveting our War King Hall’s cultivation resources. I will never compromise,” Ouyang Ren sneered coldly, showing no respect for Duanmu Ying.

”Impudent.”

”Who do you think you are? How dare you speak disrespectfully to our Peak Master? Who gave you the courage?” The students of Profound Sword Peak looked extremely displeased, scolding Ouyang Ren harshly.

”Zi Xuan, handle it,” a cold light flashed in Duanmu Ying’s eyes, her tone utterly indifferent.

”You ungrateful dog, who gave you the courage to utter such treacherous words? Kneel down and apologize to our Peak Master immediately.” Among the crowd, Zi Xuan’s figure dashed forward, instantly lunging at Ouyang Ren, his entire being exuding a terrifying aura, making one’s spine tingle.

”Pah.” Ouyang Ren showed no fear, instead spitting on the ground.

Whoosh.

In an instant, he transformed into a humanoid beast, leaping onto the White Jade Battle Platform ahead.

”It seems you really are tired of living. I’ll oblige you today,” Zi Xuan’s figure also appeared above the White Jade Battle Platform, a violent Gang Qi surging from his body, enveloping an area of sixteen zhang in radius.

”What? Sixteen zhang of Gang Qi, that’s terrifying.”

”Our Brother Ouyang only developed fourteen zhang of Gang Qi. Compared to him, there’s still quite a gap.” The students of the War King Hall couldn’t help but gasp, their faces looking incredibly grim.

It’s important to know that Ouyang Ren is the most talented student of the War King Hall.

Over the years, Ouyang Zhong has exhausted himself to cultivate him, investing a significant amount of effort.

Because of this, Ouyang Ren’s cultivation speed was far ahead of other inner sect students of the War King Hall. In over four years since joining, his cultivation had successfully broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Gang Qi Realm.

Moreover, he possessed a double Qi Sea Foundation, capable of developing fourteen zhang of Gang Qi.

Even an ordinary Gang Qi Realm Tenth Layer expert would be no match before him.

But now, Zi Xuan, a Seed Student who had joined the Profound Sword Peak for less than two and a half years, had a cultivation higher than Ouyang Ren, breaking through to the Eighth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm.

This was undoubtedly a massive blow to the War King Hall students.

”Ha! Your War King Hall has truly fallen. Even your Chief Disciple only has this pitiful cultivation. You should’ve let us settle in the War King Hall long ago.” Zi Xuan couldn’t help but laugh mockingly, his mouth filled with derision.

”I will not allow you to insult our War King Hall, Ancient Golden Elephant Technique.” Ouyang Ren shouted angrily, his muscles swelling, and even behind him, the image of a gigantic elephant towering to the sky appeared.

His body refining talent, though not up to the standard for passing the Hall Master’s test, was far superior to ordinary cultivators.

After more than four years of effort, he had reached perfection in the Ancient Golden Elephant Technique, capable of unleashing the Power of Five Hundred Tigers with just his physical body.

This was enough to make up for the gap in cultivation between him and Zi Xuan.

”You think this body refining technique can challenge me? You’re overestimating yourself. I’ll show you just how vast the gap between us is, Purple Flood Dragon Bloodline.” At that moment, a terrifying murderous gleam burst forth from the depths of Zi Xuan’s narrow eyes, causing souls to tremble involuntarily.

Roar.

In an instant, a purple flood dragon about ten zhang long appeared behind Zi Xuan, emitting an overwhelmingly terrifying aura, as if an ancient true dragon had traveled from ancient times.

This was the Purple Flood Dragon Bloodline awakened by Zi Xuan.

Of course, his Purple Flood Dragon Bloodline was still leagues away from a true flood dragon bloodline, simply not in the same league.

Even so, it was still a fourth-grade Profound Level bloodline, even more terrifying than Duanmu Jie’s Golden Dragon Lion Bloodline.

”This is bad, it’s the Purple Flood Dragon Bloodline, a fourth-grade Profound Level bloodline.”

”No wonder he could become a seed student of Profound Sword Peak, it turns out he awakened such a terrifying bloodline.” The students from the War King Hall stood rigidly in place, their eyes filled with utter shock.

Although Zi Xuan had become a seed student of Profound Sword Peak for more than two years, very few had seen him display his bloodline power.

In fact, the same was true for other seed students, hardly anyone knew the true combat strength of these seed students.

”Purple Flood Dragon Bloodline? Interesting.” Amidst the crowd, a hint of surprise flashed across Ning Hongye’s previously lazy expression, but she quickly returned to calmness.

”This Zi Xuan is indeed my rival.” Even Chen Bai, the grandson of the Soul Palace Master, displayed a serious expression.

Crackle, crackle, crackle.

Amidst the shock of the crowd, the Gang Qi around Zi Xuan’s body surged into the purple flood dragon, urging it to pounce on Ouyang Ren with fangs and claws.

”I will not admit defeat unless I’m dead.” Although Ouyang Ren could sense the terrifying power of the purple flood dragon, posing a fatal threat to him, he showed no signs of retreat.

Boom.

In the next moment, he concentrated his entire strength into his right fist and struck fiercely at the massive purple flood dragon.

With a loud bang,

the two forces collided violently, causing the surrounding air to explode, generating waves of white air currents, even making the entire White Jade Battle Platform tremble.

Ah!

Immediately after, the crowd saw Ouyang Ren’s body being brutally flung away by the massive body of the purple flood dragon, spitting blood continuously, even the bones in his body fractured.

If it weren’t for his cultivation of the ”Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,” making his body stronger than ordinary cultivators, he would have died.

”No, Brother Ouyang was defeated in one move.”

”Why does his bloodline strength only have double Qi Sea Foundation?” The students from the War King Hall looked ashen-faced, some unable to believe their eyes.

Logically, since Zi Xuan awakened such a powerful bloodline, his Qi Sea Foundation should not be weaker than Duanmu Jie’s.

Yet, he chose to have only double Qi Sea Foundation.

There was indeed a reason for this.

Firstly, having double Qi Sea Foundation made cultivation much easier than having triple Qi Sea, which was beneficial for Zi Xuan to break through to the Celestial Spirit Realm early and become a Qi Dao Grandmaster.

Secondly, a genius like him, who awakened a fourth-grade Profound Level bloodline, though extremely rare in the Celestial Flame Dynasty, becoming an immortal in this lifetime would be exceedingly difficult. If his Qi Sea Foundation were too immense, he would waste much time enhancing his cultivation, making it even less likely to become an immortal.

On this matter, Zi Xuan was self-aware.

Unlike Duanmu Jie, who, despite awakening a fifth-grade Profound Level bloodline, greedily desired a triple Qi Sea Foundation.

Such people, with ambitions as high as the sky but fates as fragile as paper, have almost no hope of becoming immortals in this lifetime.

Another crucial point is that those with triple Qi Sea Foundation require an exorbitant amount of cultivation resources to reach the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

A third-rate dynasty like the Celestial Flame Dynasty can hardly bear the cost.

So once their cultivation reaches a certain level, those with triple Qi Sea Foundation must leave the Celestial Flame Dynasty to explore various regions of the Southern Heaven Domain.

Only by doing so can they acquire enough cultivation resources to reach the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

In fact, both the Celestial Flame Peak Master and Duanmu Ying only had double the Qi Sea Foundation of ordinary cultivators.

It was precisely because of this that they eventually became the rulers of the Celestial Flame Academy, without having to leave the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Like them, Zi Xuan undoubtedly did not want to leave the Celestial Flame Dynasty, preferring to stay and dominate it.

”Trash is trash, can’t even withstand a single move from me. With such skill, you still want to keep the position of Chief Disciple? How utterly shameful. Since you wish to court death, I’ll oblige you. This is the price you pay for disrespecting our Peak Master.” Zi Xuan’s gaze was icy cold, showing no intention of stopping despite Ouyang Ren’s severe injury.

Roar.

In the blink of an eye, the ten-zhang-long purple flood dragon lunged at Ouyang Ren, slashing its razor-sharp claws violently towards his head.

”No, stop, he’s already lost, why must you eradicate him completely?” Ouyang Xue’s body trembled violently, screaming in utmost anger and despair.

Ouyang Ren’s whole body had already been shattered entirely, rendering him utterly incapable of any combat.

Yet, Zi Xuan still showed no intent to spare him.

This, undoubtedly, was too brutal.
