Chapter 73

(Please follow, three-river votes, recommendation votes...)

A chill ran down his spine instantly, and the gazes of Jiang Han and Yan Yumo made Ye Ruhong's heart tremble. Neither of these two was simple, and together, they were someone he couldn't provoke!

His eyes darted around, and a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind. He hurriedly forced a dry laugh, "You two, please continue, don't mind me. Today... I'm a bit off."

As he spoke, he cautiously took a few steps to the side.

This made Xiang Ziyu, who was standing nearby, stare in shock.

What was going on? Where was the domineering and cold-blooded Brother Hong? How did he turn into this little brother figure? This... he couldn't really be off, could he?!

After all, Ye Ruhong was a famous young genius among the young generation in the capital. His reputation wasn't baseless; he had earned it with his fists!

Few among his peers could match Ye Ruhong!

"Brat, what are you looking at? If it weren't for you, would I be like this?!"

Glancing at Xiang Ziyu, who was staring at him blankly, Ye Ruhong immediately felt a surge of anger. If it weren't for Xiang Ziyu's question, he wouldn't have blurted it out.

"This... has nothing to do with me..." Xiang Ziyu felt wronged but didn't dare to contradict Ye Ruhong. Anyone could see that Ye Ruhong was holding in his anger.

This also made Xiang Ziyu feel a bit relieved. It seemed Brother Hong wasn't off... he just got off around certain people!

Brother Hong was still the same Brother Hong! Xiang Ziyu sighed inwardly.

"Hmph!" Jiang Han and Yan Yumo both snorted coldly at the same time, then paused, turned their heads, exchanged a glance, and snorted again, turning their heads away simultaneously.

...

For a moment, no one spoke, and the five people stood in a row... no, two were sitting, and three were standing, all focusing on the Spirit Testing Stele.

One by one, the young men and women came forward to test, and one by one, they left dejectedly. It wasn't until the end that another young man with upper-level初级资质 appeared; the rest were all eliminated!

Those who were eliminated didn't leave, partly because they wanted to see who would pass and partly because they still hoped that Elder Yun might give them another chance.

"There are four in total, the rest are all eliminated!" Elder Yun's indifferent voice rang out, leaving no room for argument, "Those who didn't pass can leave."

Upon hearing this, the young men and women who didn't reach the upper-level资质 all looked dejected, and the officials' faces changed several times. In the end, they could only sigh, bid farewell to the Emperor, and reluctantly take their children away from the hall.

They didn't say anything more, as their cultivation levels were not weak, and they could clearly hear the determination in Elder Yun's words.

In fact, there were more than one Holy Sect, and Supreme Heaven was just the strongest among them.

If they couldn't go to Supreme Heaven, they could go to others!

Soon, the hall became much quieter. Now, there were still twelve people in the hall.

"Congratulations, you have qualified for the second test," Elder Yun smiled and said to Ye Ruhong and the other four, "I will give you three incense sticks' time to say goodbye to your families."

"Three incense sticks? So soon?" Everyone was surprised.

"Three incense sticks are enough," Elder Yun said calmly, "I will wait for three incense sticks, no more."

Hearing this, Ye Ruhong and the others didn't hesitate. They bid farewell to the Emperor and then said a few words to Jiang Han and the others before rushing off.

Only the Emperor Ye Qianchou, Elder Yun, Jiang Han, and Yan Yumo were left in the hall.

"Are these the geniuses you mentioned?" After a while, Elder Yun smiled lightly and spoke.

In the hall, the golden light around Ye Qianchou gradually faded, revealing his face. Hearing Elder Yun's words, he smiled and said, "Upper-level高级资质, isn't that considered a genius?"

"That little guy did surprise me," Elder Yun nodded, then continued, "But the others, except for Xiang Ziyu, the other two might not even pass the second test."

Ye Qianchou didn't argue; he knew Elder Yun was right.

"There are two more young men, I believe you will be satisfied," Ye Qianchou's eyes flashed with golden light, and he spoke meaningfully. Then, with a wave of his hand, two young men appeared in the hall.

The two young men were startled at first, but they quickly saw Ye Qianchou sitting on the dragon throne and immediately knelt down.

"Your humble servant, pays respects to His Majesty!"

"Your humble servant, pays respects to the Emperor!"

Two young voices rang out, and the words made Jiang Han's heart tremble.

One of them was a commoner, as evident from his self-address. The other was the Imperial Prince!

"He's even younger than me," Jiang Han squinted and examined the Imperial Prince. From his youthful face, he looked to be around 14 years old.

"Rise," Ye Qianchou said slowly, "Jing Tian, Tian Ming, are you willing to join the Holy Sect Supreme Heaven?"

The commoner youth was stunned, then overjoyed, "Your humble servant is willing!"

"Your humble servant is also willing!" Ye Tianming hurriedly said.

"Hey, you better be clear," Elder Yun rolled his eyes, "I haven't agreed yet."

"You will agree," Ye Qianchou smiled lightly.

"Oh?" Seeing Ye Qianchou's certainty, Elder Yun became interested. He knew Ye Qianchou's character; he wouldn't make baseless claims.

His gaze shifted to Jing Tian and Ye Tianming, and his eyes flashed with white light, illuminating the two.

Instantly, the two felt as if they were completely exposed, shivering involuntarily.

Jiang Han watched with glowing eyes; he had long known about Elder Yun's skill, which seemed to see through everything.

"I must learn this technique after the formal apprenticeship!" Jiang Han resolved inwardly.

What a divine skill!

Everything false was revealed before his eyes, and clothes... were just clouds!

As he thought, Jiang Han subconsciously glanced at Yan Yumo, and for a moment, he seemed to see Yan Yumo sitting beside him, completely naked, a white expanse. He quickly averted his gaze, feeling guilty.

"I am a gentleman..." Jiang Han kept reminding himself.

Beside him, Yan Yumo suddenly felt a chill run through her body and shivered. She looked around but saw nothing unusual, feeling puzzled.

At this moment, Elder Yun's face suddenly changed, and his eyes showed unmistakable shock.

"Heavenly Dragon Body, Eight Desolations Battle Body!" Elder Yun murmured, "They are both super bodies that have been extinct for thousands of years."

Like qualifications, bodies were also divided into levels, but only three: lower, middle, and upper.

Jiang Han had once seen Feng Kuangge, who had a wind attribute body, but it was only considered middle level.

However, the Heavenly Dragon Body and Eight Desolations Battle Body mentioned by Elder Yun were both upper-level bodies!

"Good! These two disciples, Supreme Heaven will take!" Elder Yun didn't hesitate and nodded immediately.

"Thank you, Senior!" Jing Tian and Ye Tianming exchanged glances and bowed to Elder Yun together.

"Don't thank me! With your special bodies, you can easily join any Holy Sect!" Elder Yun waved his hand.

"Hi, nice to meet you two. I'm Jiang Han, a disciple of the Senior you mentioned! We will be fellow disciples from now on!" Jiang Han, unwilling to be left out, chimed in.

Both nodded at Jiang Han.

"Jing Tian!"

"Ye Tianming!"

Elder Yun couldn't help but laugh, "This kid, always trying to build connections."

For a moment, a hint of worry flashed in Elder Yun's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
