In the hall, everyone was watching Ye Guan and the others.
No one had expected the two sides to clash again!
Of course, they had also not expected that Ye Guan from South Province and Nalan Jia would be so powerful!
Everyone was somewhat surprised!
In the distance, Lu Ke’s expression was extremely ugly. He stared fixedly at Ye Guan. Even a clay figure has some fire in it!
Without any nonsense, his right hand suddenly reached forward fiercely. In front of Ye Guan, space-time suddenly distorted. Then, a hand directly grabbed out. However, at this moment, Ye Guan had already disappeared from the spot.
Lu Ke’s pupils contracted sharply. His left hand fiercely blocked in front of his chest!
Bang!
With a muffled thud resounding, Lu Ke flew more than ten zhang away, finally crashing heavily onto the ground. Just as he was about to get up, Ye Guan suddenly appeared before him, then stepped on his chest with one foot.
Puff!
Lu Ke directly spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared fixedly at Ye Guan. “Kill me!”
In the hall, everyone was watching Ye Guan.
Kill?
This was the ritual hall, not the life-and-death platform. Killing just like this would break the rules!
“Young Master Ye!”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side!
The arrival was none other than Luo Zhaoqi!
Luo Zhaoqi looked at Ye Guan and smiled. “You cannot break the rules!”
Her tone was very gentle, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Ye Guan was silent for a moment, then looked at Lu Ke before him. “What did you just say?”
Lu Ke grinned. “Kill me!”
Ye Guan suddenly stepped on Lu Ke’s throat!
Crack!
Lu Ke’s eyes widened, and he died.
Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically!
So not giving face to Chief Luo Zhaoqi?
Luo Zhaoqi looked at Ye Guan, the smile on her face gradually disappearing.
Ye Guan turned to Luo Zhaoqi, gave a slight bow. “Chief Luo, I have no intention of offending you or the Academy. It’s just… you saw it too! He asked me to kill him. It was his request. I simply did as he asked!”
Lu Ke: “……”
Everyone in the hall had frozen expressions.
Luo Zhaoqi stared at Ye Guan without speaking.
Ye Guan’s expression remained calm!
Luo Zhaoqi suddenly walked up to Ye Guan. She smiled. “Young Master Ye, let us consider this matter settled!”
With that, she waved her sleeve. In the distance, Lu Ke’s corpse on the ground directly turned to ashes. Most terrifyingly, the patch of space-time where Lu Ke’s corpse had been was directly shattered by this force, creating a small space-time black hole.
Seeing this, everyone’s expressions in the hall changed dramatically!
Such terrifying strength!
Everyone looked at Luo Zhaoqi before them, hearts filled with immense shock!
The chief of the Guanxuan Academy was not just a vase!
Ye Guan glanced at Luo Zhaoqi, his expression calm!
Luo Zhaoqi suddenly glanced at the crowd and smiled. “Eat well, enjoy yourselves. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, do not blame me for being impolite!”
With that, she glanced at the woman who had been with Lu Ke. “From this moment, cancel all of Xuantian Sect’s participation spots in the martial examination. Moreover, Xuantian Sect may not participate in the next one either!”
Upon hearing this, the woman’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
In the hall, everyone looked at her with pity!
Xuantian Sect was finished this time!
Cancelled this session, and not allowed next time. Completely finished!
After Luo Zhaoqi finished speaking, she turned and left!
Ye Guan and the others had no interest in staying. The four left.
In the inner hall, Luo Zhaoqi sat in a chair. She picked up the teacup before her and took a gentle sip.
Not far in front of her sat an elder, the dean of the ritual hall.
Luo Zhaoqi smiled. “Dean Li, was it you who asked to invite this Young Master Ye?”
Dean Li nodded. “Yes!”
Luo Zhaoqi smiled faintly without speaking.
Dean Li said, “Little Qi, have you seen what is extraordinary about this person?”
After a moment of silence, Luo Zhaoqi said, “He has hidden his strength!”
Dean Li said solemnly, “How much has he hidden?”
Luo Zhaoqi said, “At least sixty percent!”
Sixty percent!
Dean Li fell silent.
Killing the Imperial Sky Realm Lu Ke with forty percent strength was already not simple!
At this moment, Luo Zhaoqi suddenly added, “However, even hiding sixty percent should not warrant such special treatment from the dean! So, I think he has hidden eighty percent!”
Eighty percent!
Dean Li’s eyes narrowed slightly. Killing Lu Ke with twenty percent strength was no longer just not simple, but very monstrous!
Luo Zhaoqi smiled. “Actually, compared to him, I am more concerned about that Zuo Fu!”
Dean Li was somewhat surprised. “Zuo Fu?”
Luo Zhaoqi nodded. “This person is the one truly hiding deeply!”
Dean Li asked, “Compared to that one from Qing Province, how is he?”
After a moment of silence, Luo Zhaoqi said softly, “That one from Qing Province is said to be the third most monstrous in history!”
Dean Li subconsciously asked, “Who are the first two?”
Luo Zhaoqi picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and smiled. “The Human Sword Master, An Guoshi!”
Upon hearing this, Dean Li’s expression froze.
Luo Zhaoqi smiled lightly. “It has to be said, being in the same era as that person is the tragedy of this generation’s genius monsters from Qing Province.”
With a pause, she added, “People from the Central Divine Continent have already started paying attention to him!”
Upon hearing this, Dean Li’s expression changed. “Is this true?”
Luo Zhaoqi nodded. “The Central Divine Continent will specially send someone down this time to receive him. As soon as he takes first place, they will directly take him to the Central Divine Continent.”
Dean Li said solemnly, “Why is the Central Divine Continent in such a hurry?”
Luo Zhaoqi said softly, “It is said to be related to that battle for destiny. I do not know the specifics! And this time, that one from Qing Province is their predetermined choice!”
Dean Li shook his head with a sigh. “If that is the case, the outcome of this martial examination is already decided!”
Luo Zhaoqi said calmly, “The Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s estimated outcome is: Qing Province first, Yun Province second!”
Dean Li asked, “What about South Province?”
Luo Zhaoqi smiled faintly. “After today’s events, South Province should rank in the top ten!”
Top ten!
Dean Li nodded. “That is already very good! You know, South Province has always been at the bottom these years!”
At this point, he paused, then looked at Luo Zhaoqi. “How do you evaluate that Ye Guan?”
After a moment of silence, Luo Zhaoqi said, “Good talent, wise, but too impulsive, does not know how to endure… difficult to achieve great things!”
…
After Ye Guan and the others left the ritual hall, the four walked towards the Xiao residence!
On the way, Ye Guan looked at Xiao Ge beside him, who was sullen, and smiled. “Still sulking?”
Xiao Ge shook his head. “I just did not expect that woman to be from Xuantian Sect!”
Ye Guan said, “Since you know she approached you with a purpose, do not dwell on it anymore! Because it is not worth it!”
Xiao Ge nodded slightly. “Indeed!”
Ye Guan continued, “This time Xuantian Sect has suffered heavy losses. They may not let it go!”
Xiao Ge smiled. “Rest assured, before the martial examination, they dare not target us again! If they target us now, it would be making an enemy of the Guanxuan Academy. Even with ten times the courage, they would not dare!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Regardless, it is better to be careful!”
Xiao Ge nodded. “Tomorrow I plan to go to the Guanxuan Academy’s trial peaks for cultivation. The trial grounds of the Guanxuan Academy are far better than the lower realm’s trial towers!”
Ye Guan smiled, then said, “Good!”
With that, he paused, then said, “You two have nothing else, right?”
Xiao Ge was stunned, then his face immediately darkened!
Damn it!
This guy was chasing them away!
Xiao Ge glared at Ye Guan, then looked at Sun Xiong. “Sun Xiong, I have something I need your help with. Let us go!”
Sun Xiong glanced at Ye Guan and Nalan Jia, then nodded.
He was naturally not someone without tact!
Soon, the two disappeared at the end of the street.
On the street, only Ye Guan and Nalan Jia remained!
Nalan Jia smiled. “My intuition tells me that earlier you did not give face to that Chief Luo, and you have probably offended her!”
Ye Guan said calmly, “Whatever!”
Nalan Jia looked at Ye Guan. “You do not care?”
Ye Guan smiled. “Why should I care about her opinion of me?”
Nalan Jia said solemnly, “She is the chief student of the Guanxuan Academy!”
Ye Guan shook his head. “It has little to do with me anyway. I will not beg her, nor do I need her help! Moreover, this woman appears approachable, but is extremely proud inside. If I really fawned over her, I would instead be looked down upon.”
Nalan Jia stared at Ye Guan, smiled. Just as she was about to speak, Ye Guan suddenly shook his head. “Do not mention her! I do not want to talk about other women in front of you!”
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jia’s lips immediately curved slightly.
The two slowly walked towards the Xiao residence, talking about everyday matters, trivial things. Very quiet, very warm.
After returning to the Xiao residence, Nalan Jia went back to her room, while Ye Guan left again. He headed straight for the Guanxuan Academy’s trial peaks.
He did not want to waste a single moment!
Cultivate tonight!
Soon, Ye Guan arrived at the Guanxuan Academy’s trial peaks.
The Guanxuan Academy had thirty-six trial peaks, each with different trial methods. Ye Guan chose for a while, finally arriving at one trial peak.
Space-time!
This trial peak was about the application of space-time.
There were many types: space-time manipulation, space-time gravity, space-time density, space-time power…
And Ye Guan chose space-time gravity!
He mainly wanted to cultivate his Instant Kill Sword!
Ye Guan came before a tall tower. This tower was the place for space-time gravity cultivation, with nine levels. The first level was one times gravity space-time, the second two times, and so on, up to the ninth level with nine times gravity space-time!
After paying gold crystals, Ye Guan entered the first level.
As soon as he entered the first level, he felt his body suddenly become heavy, as if an invisible force was pressing on him.
Ye Guan suddenly moved his mind. A qi sword suddenly shuttled through space-time, appearing several zhang away. But this time, his speed was much slower!
Due to space-time gravity!
The corners of Ye Guan’s mouth curved slightly, then he continued flying his sword…
Again and again, frantic cultivation!
Only when utterly exhausted would he lie down to rest a bit.
Just like that, by the second day, he had adapted to the first level’s space-time gravity. Now his sword speed was no different from outside!
Thus, Ye Guan entered the second level!
Time passed bit by bit. By the fifth day, Ye Guan had reached the fourth level.
And upon entering the fourth level, his expression immediately became solemn!
The higher up, the more terrifying the space-time gravity!
At this moment, the fourth level’s space-time gravity was four times that of the outside world. If he had come straight to the fourth level at the beginning, he would not even be able to take a step!
Ye Guan took a deep breath, then began striking with his sword!
Cultivating in this environment greatly enhanced his mental and soul power.
At first, it was very strenuous. His sword was several times slower than outside.
However, he was working to adapt to this gravity, then conquer it.
Just a little faster each time!
While Ye Guan was cultivating, inside the small tower, the small tower’s voice suddenly rang out. “Seeing this guy reminds me of someone!”
The mysterious voice said, “His father?”
The small tower said softly, “No, his grandfather!”
The mysterious voice fell silent.
The small tower continued, “He is not as extreme as his grandfather, but this perseverance and mindset are no less than his grandfather’s.”
After a moment of silence, the mysterious voice said, “I think you should not always scare him, making him think he is an illegitimate child and in great danger later… Look at how desperately he is working. I even feel a bit sorry for him.”
The small tower said softly, “Do you not think the things he will face later are a hundred, a million times more dangerous than this illegitimate child matter?”
After a moment of silence, the mysterious voice said, “Scare him more then! As long as you do not scare him to death!”
The small tower: “……”
….
