Silence filled the area.
The new disciples who passed the test had no idea what was happening. However, one thing was certain – Ye Yuan was challenging Su Changyu!
Among the new disciples, a handsome young man looked at Ye Yuan with disdain.
He was Nangong Ao, a member of an elite family that Ye Yuan defeated.
Although the Nangong Family wasn’t as powerful as the Su Family, it couldn’t be underestimated.
Having reached the ninth stage of the Soul Palace Realm, he believed that he could claim the top place.
However, he didn’t expect to be defeated by Ye Yuan in front of everyone!
This humiliation was unbearable for Nangong Ao.
“This brat doesn’t know what he is doing. He actually dared to challenge Su Changyu.”
As a member of the Nangong family, he was familiar with the Su family’s power.
With Su Changyu’s status as the Su Family’s young master, he also possessed impressive strength.
The Fifth Stage of the Divine Profound Realm?
But Nangong Ao didn’t care.
After all, it wasn’t uncommon for Elite families to hide their true strengths.
At this moment, Nangong Ao pondered something, and a smirk appeared on his face.
He eagerly awaited for Ye Yuan to lose. And, decided to kiss Su Changyu’s a$$, so that he would gain a comfortable living within the Great Holy Sect.
On the other hand, even Mu Qingqing didn’t expect Ye Yuan to succeed in this challenge.
However, when she saw Ye Yuan being so impulsive, she felt a sudden sense of discomfort in her heart.
If Ye Yuan lost miserably in front of everyone, wouldn’t he be devastated?
As a friend, she didn’t want Ye Yuan to encounter such a thing.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingqing advised, “Ye Yuan, don’t be impulsive. This is the New Disciple Examination Ceremony, and you don’t need to challenge Senior Brother Su.”
To be honest, it was fine if she didn’t say it, but when she said it, Ye Yuan couldn’t help but respond.
“Don’t worry Qingqing, I won’t lose!”
“Qingqing?” Su Changyu stroked his chin and said with a faint smile, “Judging from how you refer to each other, you two seem to be on good terms.”
Mu Qingqing was stunned and immediately explained, “Senior Brother misunderstood. He and I are just ordinary friends.”
She didn’t lie.
She and Ye Yuan were just ordinary friends.
“What are you saying, Qingqing? Didn’t we go through life and death together, share hardships, escape from the Misty Swamp, and bravely take on dangers together? Have you forgotten?” After Ye Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Su Changyu and confidently added, “Qingqing and I have a long-standing relationship of trust. Senior Brother Su, I don’t think you can all do those yourself, right?”
Su Changyu shook his head, “I can’t do that.”
Ye Yuan’s expression froze.
He didn’t expect Su Changyu to answer so bluntly.
He was certain that Su Changyu would attempt to defend himself.
But who knew that he would simply admit defeat?
“In that case, don’t bother Qingqing again…” declared Ye Yuan.
“I’m not interested.” Su Changyu calmly replied, “And, why should I put my trust in her? While I don’t understand why you are so proud of it, it isn’t an item you should show off in front of me. I’m not interested nor concerned about it.”
“You!…”
Ye Yuan froze.
“Ye Yuan!!!” Mu Qingqing glared coldly at him.
This guy, what the hell is going on?
He intervened three times between her and Su Changyu.
But now that things have gotten out of control, how could she continue?
[Mu Qingqing’s heart is damaged, obtained 100 villainous points]
“Qingqing I…”
Meeting Mu Qingqing’s icy-cold eyes, Ye Yuan was instantly startled.
He didn’t know what was wrong with Mu Qingqing.
Was it because he spoke harshly to Su Changyu?
[Ye Yuan’s heart is damaged, obtained 100 villainous points]
Hearing the prompt, Su Changyu smiled inwardly.
Didn’t he come here for villain points?
If not, why would he waste time with these dogs?
“Tsk~ Is this the sect’s top new disciple? Elder Lu, this disciple’s talent is good, but… his character is disappointing.” Su Changyu said indifferently.
Lu Wuya also secretly shook his head.
He also felt that Ye Yuan was ignorant.
‘You, a new disciple of the sect, wish to challenge the future Holy Son?’
“Hmph!” Ye Yuan clenched his fists, “Cut the crap, Su Changyu. Do you have the guts to accept my challenge or not?”
“If you want to challenge Young Master, pass me first!”
Su Jiuming was about to move,, but Su Changyu stopped her.
There was no way he would allow people around him to send experiences to the protagonist in this manner.
“Young Master?” Su Jiuming tilted her head.
Su Changyu gently shook his head, “Jiuming, you are also too serious. He isn’t worth it.”
“What do you mean by that!” Ye Yuan roared.
“You want to know what that means?” Su Changyu looked at Ye Yuan blankly.
He didn’t speak further, but powerful intent slowly emanated from his body.
“It means you aren’t qualified to challenge me.” Su Changyu’s voice was cold and indifferent, like an immortal looking at a tiny ant and not even pique his interest.
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful intent covered the entire area.
Stomp!
The pressure threw Ye Yuan off balance, causing him to step back and look at Su Changyu in shock.
Lu Wuya and the others also appeared stunned.
“This…”
Definitely not the fifth stage of the Divine Profound Realm!
Even if Su Changyu used a secret treasure to hide his cultivation, this powerful intent alone couldn’t be something the fifth stage of the Divine Profound Realm could do!
Thinking of this, the great elders’ faces were filled with joy.
Well, the stronger Su Changyu becomes, the greater his chances of becoming a Holy Son, and the greater the fame of the Great Holy Sect will be.
“Senior Brother Su is so powerful!”
“It turns out that Senior Brother Su has already gone far ahead of us.”
“The Great Holy Sect will definitely be invincible in the future with Senior Brother Su as its Holy Son!”
“You!!!”
Ye Yuan couldn’t accept it.
This power could be far more powerful in the fifth stage of the Divine Profound Realm.
It was much stronger than Nangong Ao!
While Su Changyu was only at the ninth stage of the Divine Profound Realm, he possessed the Nayuan Heaven Swallowing Scripture that was too heaven-defying.
But, this current technique he manifested didn’t come from the sect. Rather, it was taught to him by his master.
She urged him not to disclose the technique when she first taught it.
Though Su Changyu didn’t know the exact grade of this technique, it was far more powerful than any technique within the Great Holy Sect — including their strongest one. Compared to the Nayuan Heaven Swallowing Scripture, this technique was on a completely different level.
He feared its rank had already reached Emperor or even higher.
Because of this, Su Changyu’s strength was higher than his realm’s.
“Uhhhhhhh!!!” Ye Yuan was overwhelmed by the powerful intent and finally couldn’t endure it. He clenched his teeth and shouted fiercely in his heart, “Heavenly Profound Third Transformation!”
Boom!
A ghostly blue flame erupted from Ye Yuan’s body.
At the same time, his realm advanced rapidly.
The eighth stage of the Soul Palace Realm!
The ninth stage of the Soul Palace Realm!
The first stage of the Divine Profound Realm!
In a few breaths, Ye Yuan made a breakthrough into the Divine Profound Realm and reached the second stage of the Divine Profound Realm before stopping!
“Source Fire!?”
Everyone exclaimed in shock.
Looking at the flames on Ye Yuan’s body, everyone was dumbfounded.
The Source Flame was the mysterious flames of heaven and earth, and was terrifying.
However, there were only a handful of Source Fires on the entire Azura Continent, and even some Elite Families didn’t have them.
But, it turned out Ye Yuan possessed the Source Fire.
Well, Su Changyu expected all of this.
“Source Fire, that’s all, boring.”
It was like an icy-cold voice, which caused Ye Yuan, who was at the peak of his Qi, to feel chills run down his spine.
“There is no point in talking nonsense, die!!!”
Taking a sword from his storage ring, Ye Yuan violently stepped on the ground and slashed at Su Changyu!
“Is this ignorance or recklessness?”
Su Changyu raised his eyebrows slightly.
But he didn’t even look at Ye Yuan.
Just when that sword was about to strike Su Changyu, it was stopped by a mysterious force!
“Courting death!”
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.
Terrifying power stirred space, tearing the air and forming a giant palm that descended from the sky.
Boom!
The sword flew out, and the ghostly blue flames were reduced to pieces by the giant palm.
As for Ye Yuan’s body, it also flew backward like a kite with broken strings.
