With all eyes upon him, Ye Xuan stepped onto the testing platform!
In that moment, every gaze in the arena fixed on Ye Xuan.
Stepping onto the testing platform!
Everyone knew what it meant to ascend the platform: it signified a battle against an ancient titan!
And this ancient titan would show no mercy!
Another fearless one!
The instant Ye Xuan stepped onto the platform, it trembled slightly. A phantom figure began to coalesce slowly on the platform!
An ancient titan!
The expressions of the surrounding students turned grave in an instant!
The ancient titan looked coldly at Ye Xuan. “You can still back out now!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I never admit defeat! Unless I truly can’t win!”
The ancient titan said indifferently, “Then you won’t need to admit defeat. Admit death instead!”
As his words fell, he flipped his right hand and pressed down fiercely towards Ye Xuan.
Boom!
A terrifying aura surged towards Ye Xuan!
In an instant, the faces of those around changed dramatically!
The might of an ancient titan!
Though this was merely a wisp of a soul, its strength was still so terrifying!
The crowd was shocked!
Yet Ye Xuan, standing on the platform, remained calm, letting the terrifying pressure crush against him!
What followed left everyone in the arena stunned!
Nothing happened!
Ye Xuan was completely unharmed!
Everyone froze in place!
The ancient titan before Ye Xuan was also stunned. “You…”
Ye Xuan glanced at the titan. “Is that all?”
“Insolent!”
Offended, the ancient titan flew into a rage. He stepped forward and threw a punch at Ye Xuan!
Boom!
As the punch landed, a terrifying fist force swept the surroundings, causing the space in the arena to boil!
Everyone’s faces changed, and they retreated hastily!
But Ye Xuan still didn’t move. As the terrifying force reached him, he gently waved his right hand.
Boom!
Under everyone’s gaze, the fearsome force vanished without a trace.
Gone?
The crowd was petrified!
The ancient titan’s face grew solemn. “You…”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Shall we continue?”
The titan’s voice was grave. “Who are you!”
Ye Xuan gave a slight smile. “Ye Xuan!”
The titan’s expression was extremely serious. “What realm are you in?”
Ye Xuan blinked. “No realm!”
The titan froze. At that moment, Ye Xuan flicked his sleeve.
Boom!
Under everyone’s gaze, the ancient titan vanished without a trace!
Gone!
The crowd was utterly shocked.
Ye Xuan turned and stepped off the platform, walking slowly to Xing Ling and the elder. He smiled. “Is that enough?”
The elder’s throat bobbed, then he said, “Y-Yes… it’s enough…”
He hurriedly handed Ye Xuan a wooden plaque, but as if recalling something, he pulled it back and replaced it with a new one. “This is the inner courtyard student plaque. From today, you are an inner courtyard student of Galaxy Academy!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Good!”
He took the plaque.
The elder added, “Wait a moment, I’ll report this!”
He turned and vanished to the horizon.
Xing Ling, beside Ye Xuan, suddenly asked, “Young Master Ye, what realm are you in?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Just the Divine Path realm!”
He released his aura.
With his current strength, controlling his aura was simple, wasn’t it?
Divine Path!
Xing Ling’s expression turned odd; clearly, she didn’t believe him!
Ye Xuan smiled and said no more!
At that moment, the elder returned to the arena, bringing with him a beautiful woman!
She appeared to be in her thirties, with a figure that was strikingly curvaceous!
Even the upright Ye Xuan couldn’t help but steal a few glances!
As the woman arrived, her gaze fell on Ye Xuan. After sizing him up, she said, “You just defeated that soul wisp?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
The woman smiled. “From now on, you’ll be my student!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Your student?”
The woman nodded, smiling. “Yes!”
A powerful aura surged from her!
Peak Divine Knowledge realm!
Many in the arena cast envious glances at Ye Xuan!
But Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.
Divine Path realm!
Suddenly, he felt it was a bit dull!
No sense of danger at all!
How troublesome!
No wonder Big Brother was always seeking death… Now, he finally understood his mood!
Invincibility was truly lonely!
Xiaoyao Zi: “…”
The woman suddenly said, “What do you think?”
Ye Xuan snapped back to reality and smiled. “Sounds good!”
The woman’s lips curved dangerously. “Then both of you, follow me!”
She turned and left.
Ye Xuan and Xing Ling hurriedly followed.
Soon, the woman led them to a mountaintop. She turned to them. “This is my private academy. From today, you two will train under me here!”
She smiled slightly. “I know why you’ve come…”
She opened her palm, and two crystal stones floated to them.
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “What are these?”
The woman smiled. “These are time-space crystals. To train in the Reverse Time Space, you need these. With what you have, you can train in the Reverse Time Space for thirty years!”
Thirty years!
Xing Ling’s face lit up, and she bowed slightly. “Thank you, Mentor!”
The woman looked at Ye Xuan. He blinked, then said, “Thank you, Mentor!”
The woman smiled. “You probably don’t know my name yet. I’m Fei Yu, a senior mentor at the academy. From now on, I’ll handle your affairs at the academy!”
She pointed to a small hut nearby. “See that hut? That’s my study. It holds many precious texts of our academy. Besides training, you need to read more. Reading refines the mind and cultivates character, understand?”
Ye Xuan nodded in agreement. “Indeed!”
Xing Ling nodded slightly too.
Fei Yu glanced at them and smiled. “A hundred li to the right is the Reverse Time Space entrance. If you want to train, you can go now! I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany you!”
She turned and vanished to the horizon.
Ye Xuan handed his time-space crystal to Xing Ling, smiling. “Miss Xing Ling, for you!”
Xing Ling froze. “This…”
Ye Xuan smiled. “To be honest, I prefer reading over training right now, so I’ll pass on training for now. I want to read first, so take this!”
Xing Ling shook her head quickly. “No, no! I can’t take it!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why not?”
Xing Ling hesitated, then said, “Young Master Ye, I can’t just accept things from others, so you should keep it!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Can’t accept things from others?”
Xing Ling nodded. “It’s not right!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Alright, I’ll keep it then!”
He put away the crystal and walked towards the nearby study.
Xing Ling suddenly said, “Young Master Ye, may I ask your purpose for coming to the academy?”
Ye Xuan didn’t look back. “I came to slaughter realms, but now, I’ve decided to read instead!”
With that, he entered the small wooden hut.
Xing Ling stood stunned!
Slaughter realms?
Young Master Ye wanted to slaughter realms?
Looking at the distant hut, her gaze grew solemn!
She didn’t think Ye Xuan was boasting. From their interactions, she found him far more mysterious than she’d imagined. And Ye Xuan had one terrifying trait: confidence!
A confidence that instilled awe!
After a moment, Xing Ling turned and left!
…
Elsewhere, Fei Yu and an elder were also looking at the hut!
The elder was Lin Lei, the current vice-dean of Galaxy Academy!
Lin Lei said softly, “He casually erased that soul wisp, completely obliterating it!”
Fei Yu’s voice was grave. “Have we found out his background?”
Lin Lei said, “Our people have gone to the Xing Clan. It won’t be long before they return!”
Fei Yu nodded slightly. “This person is indeed extraordinary. When facing me, his gaze lingered a few times, but there was no trace of improper thoughts. Moreover, he was confident—confident to the point that it made my heart race! For someone to be so confident, either his family is powerful, or he is!”
Lin Lei said gravely, “He’s already very powerful himself!”
Fei Yu nodded, looking at the small study again. “I hope he’s here truly to learn, not for some other purpose…”
Lin Lei nodded slightly. For a prodigy like Ye Xuan, they naturally wanted to recruit him, not make an enemy!
Otherwise, with the strength Ye Xuan displayed, he wouldn’t just be an inner courtyard student but a true disciple. A true disciple’s mentor would be at least an ancient titan!
Because they couldn’t discern Ye Xuan’s background, they made him an inner courtyard student!
Fei Yu added, “He’s likely hiding his realm. His true realm might be Half-Step Divine Knowledge… To touch the Divine Knowledge realm at such a young age… He’s remarkable!”
Her eyes flashed with concern.
…
Inside the small study.
Upon entering, Ye Xuan instantly fell in love with it. The study was a world of its own, leading to a vast starry sky filled with countless ancient texts!
Looking at the books, Ye Xuan’s lips curved slightly. If he read all these, his ability to show off would surely reach new heights…
