Reversal! Heaven-Jealous Person!

"Senior, you said you were going to invite me too!"

Xiao Lingtian was also anxious.

Joining Saintly Wasteland Academy was extremely important to him, a crucial step on his path to rising from obscurity. He really didn't want to lose this precious opportunity.

"Little brother Lingtian, although your aptitude is also amazing, it's still a bit lacking compared to a Born King Physique. Now that a King Physique has appeared, my Saintly Wasteland Academy plans to concentrate resources to cultivate them with all our might. Therefore, this year my Saintly Wasteland Academy will only accept young friend Xiao Chen."

Zhang Qitian responded indifferently.

"Damn, Xiao Lingtian had his spot directly squeezed out by Xiao Chen, that's too tragic!"

"If you ask me, Xiao Lingtian deserves it. Xiao Chen ruined his talent to save him, but not only was he ungrateful, he kicked him when he was down. Now he's getting his just desserts!"

"That's right, King Zhenbei was wise his whole life, but he made a mistake on this matter. He gave up a King Physique for a Heaven Rank aptitude. Now he's probably regretting it so much his intestines are turning green!"

Below the stage, the crowd discussed animatedly, and the public opinion of Xiao Chen and Xiao Lingtian instantly reversed.

"Senior, are... are you playing with me?"

Xiao Lingtian felt as if he had been struck by lightning upon hearing this. In his frustration, he blurted out.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Zhang Qitian frowned slightly, looking coldly at Xiao Lingtian. An incredibly terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Xiao Lingtian.

Pfft!

The next second.

Xiao Lingtian spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Lingtian, don't be rude!"

Xiao Zhentian quickly flashed in front of Xiao Lingtian and blocked the pressure with a palm. Only then did Xiao Lingtian's complexion improve.

Xiao Zhentian's expression changed slightly, and the hand hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly. He didn't expect that someone from the Saintly Wasteland Academy would be so terrifying!

This Zhang Qitian was definitely a Martial King-level expert like him, and his strength was even greater than his.

Seeing Xiao Zhentian step forward, Zhang Qitian didn't say anything more. He turned his head to look at Xiao Chen, revealing a warm smile, "Young friend Xiao Chen, please come forward."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and walked in front of Zhang Qitian.

Originally, he planned to enter Sword Immortal Academy and obtain the Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art, but he didn't expect Sword Immortal Academy to be so useless, having nothing!

This made him hesitate.

Should he enter Sword Immortal Academy and become a sword cultivator, or go to Saintly Wasteland Academy and obtain the Indestructible Divine Skill?

If he went to Sword Immortal Academy, there would be some risk, but with the system in hand, the risk wasn't that great!

Entering Saintly Wasteland Academy would be very safe, but he would have to be a turtle being beaten up, which he couldn't quite accept!

In any case, he planned to have the Martial Spirit Mirror shine on him first!

To see what his future held!

Taking a look at Xiao Chen, Zhang Qitian picked up the ancient mirror in his hand and shone it on Xiao Chen.

After a few breaths, the Martial Spirit Mirror, which was originally no different from an ordinary mirror, suddenly emitted a great golden light. Soon after, the golden light slowly gathered in the void to form a few large golden characters: "Aptitude surpasses the world, unparalleled throughout the ages..."

Seeing these two comments.

The crowd below didn't react much. In their opinion, a Born King Physique deserved such an evaluation.

Zhang Qitian was stunned.

Aptitude surpasses the world?

Unparalleled throughout the ages?

How could a King Physique cause the Martial Spirit Mirror to give such a high evaluation?

The Martial Spirit Mirror was an ancient divine object that had existed for endless years, witnessing the rise of countless invincible geniuses, and its vision was extremely high.

In the past, when King Physiques appeared, the Martial Spirit Mirror would at most give a comment of "aptitude is acceptable!"

But now it had given Xiao Chen such a terrifying evaluation, what was going on?

The heads of the various academies were dumbfounded when they saw the Martial Spirit Mirror's evaluation!

Others didn't understand the Martial Spirit Mirror, but they knew some things.

In the past thousand years, among countless geniuses, the highest evaluation given by the Martial Spirit Mirror was only "amazing aptitude!"

What was going on with "aptitude surpasses the world, unparalleled throughout the ages"?

Could it be that Xiao Chen was not just a King Physique!

At this moment, they looked at Xiao Chen, their eyes red with jealousy!

Such a celestial seedling could only be looked at but not eaten, which was even more painful than killing them!

"Young friend Xiao Chen, your aptitude shakes the past and illuminates the present, it is rare to see in a thousand years, you are definitely qualified to join my Saintly Wasteland Academy, I am now..."

Before he could finish speaking, his brow furrowed, as if he had discovered something unusual, and he looked up at the void.

Only to see a few more lines of comments suddenly appearing in the void: "However, this child's aptitude is too heaven-defying, and he will definitely be envied by the Heavenly Dao. He will be plagued by disasters throughout his life, and there is a high possibility of falling! But..."

Halfway through writing the evaluation, a terrifying power suddenly appeared, enveloping the Martial Spirit Mirror. The golden characters in the void instantly turned into dust and dissipated!

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned!

A person envied by the Heavenly Dao, plagued by misfortune throughout their life, and in danger of dying young?

Doesn't that mean Xiao Chen won't live long?

Xiao Chen himself was dumbfounded!

A person envied by the Heavenly Dao, in danger of dying young?

What the hell is that?

Shouldn't he, with the system, be the chosen one, blessed with luck?

How did he become someone destined to die young?

[Host, no need to worry. There's a second half to the Martial Spirit Mirror's judgment: 'But with the help of a system, this child will eventually become invincible under the heavens.' I have obscured the Heavenly Dao's secrets.]

Xiao Chen suddenly understood!

So there was a second half!

Scared him to death!

But everyone else besides Xiao Chen didn't know the truth and thought Xiao Chen was going to be useless again. Many people looked at Xiao Chen with contempt and disdain.

Of course, there were also many people whose eyes were filled with regret.

"Senior Qitian, what does the Martial Spirit Mirror mean? Xiao Chen's talent is clearly unprecedentedly powerful, so why would he become a person envied by the Heavenly Dao, in danger of dying young!"

Li Manxiong asked unwillingly.

Xiao Zhentian, Wen Wanrong, and Ye Qingxuan also looked at Zhang Qitian with anxious expressions.

Xiao Chen had finally recovered his dantian and could compete for glory for them. It would be a pity if he died for no reason!

But Xiao Lingtian looked at Xiao Chen with a face full of smiles and schadenfreude.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Qitian looked at Xiao Chen with a regretful expression and slowly said, "Some martial artists with extremely outstanding talent may threaten the Heavenly Dao's position due to their potential being too terrifying, so they will incur the Heavenly Dao's jealousy, which will bring endless disasters to kill them in the cradle!"

"However, there is one thing I can't understand. To reach this level, the talent must be incredibly terrifying. This young friend Xiao Chen is only a King Physique, how could he become a person envied by the Heavenly Dao!"

Xiao Zhentian's face was filled with gloom as he gritted his teeth and asked, "Senior Qitian, is there a way to resolve it?"

Zhang Qitian shook his head and said, "There is a difference between heaven and man. In front of the Heavenly Dao, everything is an ant. Since ancient times, no person envied by the Heavenly Dao has lived past the age of twenty! Young friend Xiao Chen, I'm afraid... you have at most two years of life left!"

"My poor child, why is your life so bitter!"

Wen Wanrong, who was standing to the side, was teary-eyed.

"Mother, don't be sad, you still have me!"

Xiao Lingtian comforted her softly.

Wen Wanrong looked at her youngest son and felt a trace of comfort in her heart.

Fortunately, she still had one son, or she really wouldn't know what to do!

Ye Qingxuan, who was not far away, had a look of relief on her face when she saw this scene, and her gaze towards Xiao Chen was once again filled with disdain and contempt!

So he's a short-lived ghost!

It seems that canceling the engagement was the right decision after all!

"Tsk tsk tsk, a person envied by the Heavenly Dao, unable to live past the age of twenty! This Xiao Chen is too useless! What unparalleled genius, I think he's just a born cripple!"

"It's really outrageous. First, his dantian was shattered, and then the Martial Spirit Mirror judged him to be a person envied by the Heavenly Dao! This Xiao Chen is simply a jinx reincarnated!"

"Alas, I thought our Barren North Province was going to produce some amazing figure, but who knew he was just a short-lived unlucky ghost!"

The gazes of the crowd were exceptionally complicated: pity, mockery, schadenfreude. The faces, each different, fully reflected the myriad aspects of this world.

Human nature is inherently evil. When you are down on your luck, most people choose to kick you when you're down.

Xiao Chen also went along with it, revealing a look of hopelessness, lowering his head, his body trembling slightly at just the right moment!

But no one noticed that at the moment he lowered his head, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!

A person envied by the Heavenly Dao?

He has a system, so why would he be afraid of that damned Heavenly Dao?

"My Saintly Wasteland Academy probably has no fate with young friend Xiao Chen. Is there anyone willing to accept him into their academy?"

Zhang Qitian said very realistically.

Cultivating a genius requires endless manpower and resources. Although his Saintly Wasteland Academy is large and prosperous, it is impossible to waste resources on someone who is about to die.
