In the sunlight, Ye Heigou’s now completely bald head gleamed brightly, occasionally flashing like a polished mirror. A swarm of moths had already started circling around his shiny head.
Ye Chen hadn’t expected the side effects to be this severe and tried to comfort him, “In this world, there’s no baldness that can’t be solved by wearing a hat. If one doesn’t work, then just wear another one!”
Sure enough, after putting on two hats, the glare from Ye Heigou’s head stopped flickering.
“You all?” Ye Chen looked at the remaining seventeen core disciples.
They answered one after another.
“We’re eating it, of course we are!”
“Compared to becoming stronger, what’s a bald head?”
“Honestly, I’ve always thought I look more mature and reliable with a bald head!”
The group of core disciples spoke as they rushed to take the Vajra Strength Pill. All of them were heaven’s favored children carefully chosen by War King Manor. Once they took the pill, they rapidly advanced in cultivation level.
“Hehe, my head seems to be the brightest!”
“You’re talking nonsense, mine shines more!”
“My head not only flashes, it can flash twice at once!”
“Twice? That’s nothing! Watch mine—four flashes at once!”
“Hehe, if you’re comparing like that, then let me show you real skill…”
Under the radiant sunlight, the prodigies of War King Manor competed over whose bald head shone more brilliantly—it was a grand and hilarious spectacle. Ye Chen, afraid of going blind from the glare, quickly turned away.
He had originally saved a few Vajra Strength Pills for Qing’er, but seeing the side effects now, he decided against it. Besides, with Qing’er’s rapid cultivation speed, there was no need for her to use them.
Over the past three days, Qing’er not only mastered the 《Infinity》 technique—which had baffled Ye Chen in his past life for years—but also completed several other cultivation methods that Ye Chen himself hadn’t even figured out. Ye Chen, who had initially wanted to suppress Qing’er a little, ended up being the one feeling completely defeated.
In her free time, Qing’er casually cultivated and instantly advanced eight stages, reaching the 6th stage Earth Martial Realm. Meanwhile, Ye Chen, despite concentrating fully and relying on the spiritual Qi gathered around Qing’er, had only managed to advance four stages. Once again, he felt thoroughly crushed.
He thought to himself, in his previous life, Qing’er had become invincible across the world in just 100 years. At the time, he couldn’t believe it. But now, he realized—why would it even take 100 years? At this pace, ten years would be enough for her to dominate the world.
As everyone stepped onto the teleportation array, Ye Chen casually placed another spiritual mark on Qing’er.
With Qing’er’s current cultivation level at the 6th stage Earth Martial Realm, she was definitely among the top prodigies entering the Doomsday Forest. And with her abnormal ability to fight across stages, she could practically run rampant in the forest.
Still, Ye Chen was always cautious. He intended to reunite with Qing’er as soon as possible after entering the Doomsday Forest so that the two of them could team up and ensure absolute safety.
The teleportation officially began. In just a few breaths, 400 prodigies from the Four Great Empires disappeared within the array and entered the Doomsday Forest.
“The aura of a 4th-rank mystic beast?” Ye Chen was randomly teleported into a mountain valley. His brow furrowed instantly.
In his past life, he had never entered the Doomsday Mountains. According to the rumors, the highest-ranked mystic beast in the forest was only at the peak of 3rd rank. But now, it was clear those rumors were false.
However, his expression soon relaxed. The stronger the beast, the more valuable the natural treasures it guarded.
Ye Chen immediately began locating the three spiritual marks he had previously planted.
“Hmm? One of them is only a few hundred meters away. What a coincidence!”
The Doomsday Mountains spanned nearly 1 million square kilometers. The chance of being randomly teleported near someone else was incredibly slim.
Ye Chen quickened his pace, eager to see whether the person nearby was Lin Tian, Jian Ling’er, or Qing’er…
