I Break through Crazily

”Tang Yi, come to Kan Palace. We’ll increase the offer to three Six Lotus Birth Pearl Pills, and you’ll have unlimited use of all Low and Mid-level Pills. This promise will hold true even after you enter the Inner Mansion. As long as you have a need, we will provide them free of charge,” the representative from Kan Palace added.

Kan Palace had upped its offer!

A single Six Lotus Birth Pearl Pill was enough to drive people mad. It was priceless on the open market, and now they were offering three...

Furthermore, the offer of unlimited Low and Mid-level Pills would remain valid even after he entered the Inner Mansion. In other words, as long as Tang Yi joined Kan Palace and remained within the West Mansion, he could take as many of their Low and Mid-level Pills as he wanted!

’Even an Emperor couldn’t ask for more, could he?’

”Tang Yi, join our Xun Palace, and I will personally guide you. I’ll give you whatever you ask for. At the same time, the Celestial Evil Dojo will always be open to you. This promise, like theirs, will remain valid even after you enter the Inner Mansion!” The Palace Master of Xun Palace remained expressionless, but his words betrayed his determination to recruit Tang Yi.

Personal guidance, and he could have whatever he wanted!

Even after entering the Inner Mansion, he could still access the Celestial Evil Dojo whenever he wanted!

Hearing this, it wasn’t just the examinees from the four major districts and the West Mansion Disciples who were shocked—even the Chief Examiners on the high platform were visibly stunned.

The Chief Examiners were all disciples from the Inner Mansion and had once trained in the Outer Mansion, so of course they knew about the Celestial Evil Dojo.

However, to ensure a fair allocation of resources and to prevent a massive power gap from forming among the West Mansion Disciples, those who entered the Inner Mansion were forbidden from using the Outer Mansion’s resources.

This was especially true for the Celestial Evil Dojo, a strategic-level resource that Xun Palace kept under tight lock and key. Even if the Inner Mansion desperately needed it, Xun Palace would never compromise.

But now, they had made such an offer to Tang Yi, allowing him to return to the Outer Mansion and enter the Celestial Evil Dojo even after he joined the Inner Mansion!

The way they were treating Tang Yi was just too incredible!

Not to be outdone, the other Palaces immediately laid out their best possible offers, doing everything in their power to win over Tang Yi.

The competition instantly became white-hot. Even though Tang Yi had already walked into the Dui Palace’s designated area, they still refused to give up.

’They’ve gone mad. They’ve all gone completely mad.’

Seeing Tang Yi actually choose Dui Palace, the other seven Palaces of the Outer Mansion went wild, as if they were on steroids. They kept raising their offers, presenting one jaw-dropping condition after another. This left the crowd not only shocked but also incredibly envious.

However, an even greater shock was yet to come.

In addition to the Outer Mansion Seven Palaces making their final desperate pitches, Gong Liansheng, who had been standing silently on the stage this whole time, finally spoke.

”Tang Yi, after careful consideration, I feel that your strength and Talent have already met the requirements to enter the Inner Mansion—in fact, they far exceed them. Therefore, in my capacity as the Inner Mansion’s Special Envoy, I am officially making an exception and inviting you to join the Inner Mansion directly. And don’t worry. Your benefits upon entering will be equivalent to those of a disciple who passes the official examination, and perhaps even better than the average disciple who passes. What do you say?”

”What?”

”Directly into the Inner Mansion?”

The crowd erupted.

An even greater uproar swept through the onlookers.

Tang Yi’s strength and Talent were so great that even Special Envoy Gong had personally extended an invitation!

To skip the Outer Mansion and enter the Inner Mansion directly... for Tang Yi, this was not just an acknowledgment of his strength, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Within the West Mansion, the Inner Mansion was the ultimate symbol of strength and status.

By entering the Inner Mansion, one could use superior resources and compete against more powerful disciples, allowing for faster improvement and greater achievements.

Many West Mansion Disciples struggled their entire lives with the sole goal of entering the Inner Mansion. Yet, Tang Yi had just arrived at the West Mansion and had already achieved it with ease.

The Eight Palaces Masters stared blankly at Gong Liansheng. If even the Special Envoy was extending an invitation, what chance did their Outer Mansion Eight Palaces have?

The Eight Palaces Masters, who had been fighting tooth and nail just moments ago, were now speechless and dejected. Who would dare compete with the Inner Mansion?

’Then again, it made sense. Tang Yi’s Talent was indeed worthy of the Inner Mansion.’

The reason they had all competed so fiercely was simple: securing a candidate who was guaranteed to enter the rankings and eventually the Inner Mansion was a massive windfall.

Whoever managed to recruit him would get all the credit, so who wouldn’t be green with envy?

Not only had Tang Yi unexpectedly chosen Dui Palace, but now even the Inner Mansion itself had made a move.

By now, everyone from the Eight Palaces knew they weren’t going to get that windfall.

Meanwhile, the group from the North District wore knowing expressions.

They had already suspected that with Tang Yi’s strength, he would definitely be selected by the Inner Mansion. That was why they had hidden his true power.

Otherwise, Tang Yi wouldn’t have even been able to participate in the House Entrance Examination.

Without Tang Yi, how could the North District have achieved such great results?

Now that the House Entrance Examination was over, everyone from the North District was delighted that the Inner Mansion had selected Tang Yi ahead of schedule, especially Wang Zongyao.

However, faced with such a tremendous opportunity—the chance to bypass the Outer Mansion and directly enter the Inner Mansion—anyone else would have likely nodded in ecstatic agreement on the spot. But when Tang Yi heard the offer, he seemed to have no reaction at all. And...

’He was... unmoved?’

Yes, that was it. He seemed completely unmoved.

”What’s this? Tang Yi, don’t you want to enter the Inner Mansion?” Gong Liansheng asked, puzzled by Tang Yi’s lack of a reaction.

”As a disciple of the West Mansion, who wouldn’t want to enter the Inner Mansion? I’m no exception, of course,” Tang Yi replied.

”Then why are you...?” Gong Liansheng gave Tang Yi a strange look, not understanding why his reaction was so lukewarm if he truly wanted to enter the Inner Mansion.

”Because I don’t want special treatment. I will enter the West Mansion Inner Mansion on my own merits. Since entry requires passing the Inner Mansion’s examination, then I’ll just wait until the examination to get in. For now... there’s always a heaven beyond the heavens, and always someone better out there. I feel my strength is still lacking, and I’d like to train in Dui Palace for a while,” Tang Yi said after a moment of thought.

”This...” Upon hearing that, Gong Liansheng was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Tang Yi to think that way.

The crowd stared at Tang Yi, speechless. They didn’t know what to say. They couldn’t tell if Tang Yi was being admirably principled or just plain stupid. He was being offered better treatment, a better opportunity, and the chance to enter the Inner Mansion early, saving him countless hours of effort, yet he actually turned it down! Refused it! And said he wanted to get in on his own strength...

’Was that confidence, or confidence, or... confidence?’

”Very well, then. I wish you the best in improving your strength in Dui Palace. I hope we’ll be able to meet in the Inner Mansion soon.”

Since Tang Yi had put it that way, Gong Liansheng couldn’t press the issue. Tang Yi didn’t want preferential treatment and was determined to enter the Inner Mansion based on his own strength. This was an inspiring notion, a good thing. Gong Liansheng couldn’t very well force Tang Yi to abandon such a commendable mindset, could he?

After Tang Yi refused the direct invitation to the Inner Mansion, the people from the other Seven Palaces thought they still had a chance. But to their dismay, no matter what silver-tongued promises they made or what conditions they offered, Tang Yi remained unmoved. He stuck to his original decision and chose Dui Palace, officially becoming one of its disciples. This left the other Seven Palaces full of resentment, but there was nothing they could do.

Then, Mu Xianling and the others followed Tang Yi in joining Dui Palace. With that, everyone’s choices were officially made, and this year’s House Entrance Examination came to a close.

Gong Liansheng’s mission this time was considered complete. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he left Shuangyong Square.

The examinees who had joined their chosen Palaces were then led back to their new homes by their respective Palace Masters.
