Ye Xuan Takes the Stage, Come at Me Together!

On the way to the academy, Ye Xuan also learned from Ji Xueyao that Wan'er didn't have many points, so she only cultivated in the Cloud Palace Pond for half a month before coming out.

After that, she had been helping Lin Churan's Pill House refine Pills, and now she was rushing through the Hundred Refinements Tower, preparing for her next entry into the Cloud Palace Pond.

Ye Xuan wasn't too surprised by this.

Wan'er's Emperor's blood had already entered her body. As long as she refined it slowly, her talent would become even more terrifying. Moreover, her dantian wasn't as vast as his, and she didn't need too many resources to advance her cultivation.

And as a member of the Eternal Life Imperial Clan, Wan'er's Pill Dao was actually no less than his. With her overseeing Wan'er's Pill House, it would definitely be foolproof.

"What about you?"

Ye Xuan suddenly asked with a smile.

Ji Xueyao was originally the Tianshu Tower Master, and seemed to be very free.

"Me!?"

Ji Xueyao was slightly stunned, then quickly grabbed Ye Xuan's shoulder, pouting her small mouth and saying, "Husband, I'm not idle!"

Then she transmitted a voice to Ye Xuan, "Recently, I've been helping my cheap disciple break formations."

"Break formations?"

Ye Xuan was taken aback when he heard this. He knew that Xueyao's disciple was Mu Tianchen.

But wasn't that legendary figure out traveling?

"Yes, he's been traveling the mountains and seas. A few months ago, he discovered a secret realm with very ancient and mysterious formations. He couldn't break them, so he sent them back to the academy for me to break!"

"However..."

Speaking of this, Ji Xueyao's expression suddenly became serious.

"However, the formations he discovered are indeed a bit strange. Although they're not too difficult, they're ones I've never seen before!"

"You've never seen them before?" Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this.

Ji Xueyao was an Imperial Daughter. Within the Outer Heavens, the Ji Family's formation Dao was unparalleled. What Imperial formations hadn't she seen?

"That's right, I even suspect that the formation doesn't belong to this era!" Ji Xueyao nodded heavily.

"Doesn't belong to this era?"

Ye Xuan's expression suddenly changed.

This reminded him of the Ancient Remnant Sword Manor. The formations in the Sword Hall were also ones he had never seen before!

Then Ye Xuan raised his hand and casually outlined a few formation patterns from the Sword Hall with his fingertips.

"Hmm?!"

"Husband, you've also seen this formation?"

Sure enough, when Ji Xueyao saw this formation, her expression was shocked!

"Yes, I've seen it!"

Ye Xuan nodded, then said in a deep voice, "This realm is not as simple as you think!"

Ye Xuan would find an opportunity to tell Wan'er and Ji Xueyao about the information about the Primordial Realm.

Ji Xueyao also fell into deep thought. Before she could ask any further questions, the group had already arrived at the academy square.

Originally, this new student assessment was already receiving a lot of attention because of the addition of Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er.

Especially Ye Xuan.

Not only had he become the target of public criticism in the academy for possessing two beauties, but he had also shaken the entire academy by comprehending a volume of the Fourteen Absolutes and Seven Secrets on his first day, and had even obtained millions of points as a result, forcefully breaking into the top ten direct disciples.

Many people were waiting for Ye Xuan's performance in the new student assessment.

But unexpectedly, before Ye Xuan even appeared, Danyang Academy came to pay a visit.

And with their first move, they achieved eighteen consecutive victories, and none of the Cloud Palace new students could fight back!

When Ye Xuan arrived, Qin Yan, who was covered in flames, was sent flying from the arena, his battle axe also flying out of his hand, in an extremely miserable state.

"Hehe, Young Master Ling, my apologies!"

At this time, in the arena, a junior holding a black gold spear cupped his hands and smiled.

Although he seemed respectful, his tone was full of mockery.

"You!"

Ling Yan's face flushed red, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had worked hard to cultivate, but he still hadn't been able to advance to the Myriad Manifestation Realm within a month.

And although this Danyang Academy disciple wasn't from a major clan, he possessed a Myriad Manifestation Realm cultivation. Even though he had used the Kaiyang Slash, one of the Seven Secrets of Kaiyang, it wasn't powerful enough because he had only comprehended it recently!

As the young tiger of the Ling Family, being defeated so miserably was extremely embarrassing.

"Hehe, why don't you let your so-called first-born come out and fight!"

"Others, don't waste your time coming up here!"

At this time, the spear-wielding youth in the arena swept across the entire audience, extremely arrogant.

"This person is named Chu Chen, ranked fifth among the new students of Danyang Academy, a Dao Body cultivator in the Myriad Manifestation Realm!"

The Yaoguang Tower Master introduced behind Ye Xuan.

"A new student in the Myriad Manifestation Realm?" Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised by this.

Currently, there isn't a single new student in Cloud Palace Academy who has advanced to the Myriad Manifestation Realm, but this person is just a new student with such a high cultivation?

"That's right, among the three great academies, Cloud Palace is the weakest. Danyang and Tinglei Academy are much stronger!"

The Yaoguang Tower Master nodded and added, "Danyang and Tinglei Academy cultivate more experts for the Great Qian Dynasty, and their resources and inheritances are also stronger. Therefore, disciples from large clans and super-grade Sects are more willing to go to these two academies."

"Danyang isn't the strongest. I heard that among the new students of Tinglei Academy, there are already as many as seven who have reached the Myriad Manifestation Realm. The strongest among them is Xuan Zheng, the Sword Prodigy, one of the Four Prodigies of the Xuan Family, who is already in the Late Myriad Manifestations!"

"I even speculate that he is very likely to break through to the Nirvana Realm before the Great Qian Peak Competition!"

"Nirvana?" Ye Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly upon hearing this.

This Xuan Clan truly lives up to its reputation as the number one clan. A new student is already about to break through to the Nirvana Realm!

It seems that this Central Region is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Moreover, he has a feud with that Xuan Zhou, and he will inevitably have to fight other geniuses of the Xuan Clan in the Peak Competition.

Improving his own cultivation brooks no delay.

"So, this Chu Chen isn't the strongest among the disciples visiting the academy this time. The two behind him haven't even made a move yet!"

The Yaoguang Tower Master frowned again.

Danyang Academy clearly came prepared this time. Even without bringing their two strongest new students, just these three, including Chu Chen, are enough to crush Cloud Palace Academy.

"Hmph, why would he need to make a move? I'll fight you!"

But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed onto the arena.

As the light dissipated, Zhuo Jing, with an ancient zither on his back, appeared opposite Chu Chen.

He had just heard that someone was visiting the academy and rushed over.

Now that he saw Ling Yan had also been defeated, he knew his chance had come!

As a disciple from a non-major clan, he had always wanted to prove himself.

"You?"

Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, then sneered, "Born from a super-grade Sect, cultivation not even at the Myriad Manifestation Realm..."

"Forget it, just make your move!"

His words were full of contempt for Zhuo Jing.

"Hmph, we both come from Sects. You just advanced to the Myriad Manifestation Realm a little earlier than me!"

Zhuo Jing was ashamed and angry, but he still forcibly steadied his mind, suspended himself in the air, and placed the ancient zither on his lap.

His ten fingers touched the strings, and the zither music suddenly rose, turning into continuous sharp edges, rampaging out!

"It's the Yuheng Melody, one of the Seven Secrets of Cloud Palace!"

"Zhuo Jing comprehended the Seven Secrets earlier than Young Master Ling Yan. Judging from the momentum, his attainments are clearly stronger!"

The crowd exclaimed upon seeing this.

The Yuheng Melody is a secret sonic art, invisible and colorless, extremely difficult to defend against!

"Hehe, the art of music is just a minor path!"

But Chu Chen still sneered, then his long spear cracked the ground, standing in front of him, spear intent permeated, turning into a ripple of astral winds surrounding him.

Buzz buzz buzz!

In this way, no matter how Zhuo Jing urged the Yuheng Melody, he could not break through Chu Chen's spear intent.

"Damn it!"

Gradually, Zhuo Jing inevitably became anxious. His shoulders shook, and a Dharma Image rose, which was a phantom of an ancient zither.

The quasi-Dao Soul was blessed and manifested, instantly increasing the power of Zhuo Jing's Yuheng Melody!

The zither music set off dense air blades, and even the Yuheng Melody carried the power of divine thought. This was Zhuo Jing's confidence in daring to challenge beyond his cultivation level!

As long as he defeated Chu Chen's divine thought, he could win!

"Hehe, it's over!"

But Chu Chen naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death. He suddenly swung the black gold spear in his hand, and the Myriad Manifestation Dao Soul burst forth. A fierce tiger phantom roared to the sky.

The roar of the tiger overwhelmed the zither music in an instant, and at this moment, the black gold spear in Chu Chen's hand was like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, suddenly bursting out!

Boom!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the sound waves shattered wherever the spear light passed.

"Tiger Roar Sky Breaking Strike!?"

Zhuo Jing was shocked when he saw this.

"It's a secret technique of Danyang Academy!"

"And it's clear that his realm is even higher!"

The Yaoguang Tower Master and the others all shook their heads upon seeing this.

Zhuo Jing is in trouble!

BOOM!

As expected, in the next moment, Zhuo Jing was swallowed by the black-gold spear light that transformed into a tiger.

Although Zhuo Jing's mastery of musical Dao is strong, his defense is extremely weak once someone gets close.

His final protective sound barrier exploded amidst the loud noise, and Zhuo Jing's figure fell from the arena like a kite with a broken string.

"Zhuo Jing!"

The Yuheng Tower Master was shocked at the sight and rushed over.

But at this moment, Zhuo Jing was already covered in blood, heavily injured and unconscious.

Although this spear didn't take Zhuo Jing's life, his injuries would require at least a few months to heal!

This also means that Zhuo Jing has no chance of breaking through to the Myriad Manifestation Realm before the Grand Tournament!

"Chu Chen, you're too ruthless!"

The Tianxuan Tower Master raised her cane, her white hair bristling with anger.

"Heh, just a piece of trash. Even if he went to the Grand Tournament, he would only embarrass himself. It's better to lose to me!"

At this moment, Chu Chen, with the black-gold spear in his hand lowered, had a sneer on his lips.

"I say, why are all the new students from your Cloud Palace Academy so weak this year!"

"Didn't they say there was a prodigy who entered the top ten of the inner disciples on his first day, and even had a statue erected?"

"Where is he?"

At this moment, an elder from Danyang Academy asked with a loud laugh.

"I saw his statue. A mere Heavenly Gang Realm cultivator, able to have a statue erected, what a joke!"

"Why not remove his statue and replace it with me, Chu Chen, hahaha!"

Chu Chen laughed even more wildly, then turned to step down from the arena.

"You are only worthy of kneeling before my statue!"

But at this moment, from the back of the crowd, a cold voice suddenly echoed throughout the square.

Everyone was stunned, and Chu Chen also suddenly turned around.

They saw a figure walking out of the crowd with his hands behind his back, steadily landing on the arena.

"Who are you?"

Chu Chen frowned.

"Tianshu Tower, Ye Xuan!"

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, his gaze shifting from Chu Chen to the group of Danyang Academy disciples behind him.

"Come all of you, I, Ye Xuan, will take care of you all together!"
