The sudden remark dripped with sarcasm.
Su Ye looked toward the voice.
Seven or eight richly dressed young people with extraordinary auras were approaching.
At their head were two men and a woman.
Each carried themselves with swagger and looked down on everyone. Energy surged around them; they were all top talents who had reached the Half-step King Realm!
Their auras were exceptionally condensed, far beyond those of ordinary Half-Step Kings. They had clearly suppressed their advancement to comprehend more Law Embryos or achieve Intent Fusion, hoping to Forge Strongest Foundation before breaking through to King.
They studied Su Ye with curiosity and undisguised wariness and hostility.
Wu Shan's expression shifted. He quickly stepped forward, placing himself slightly in front of Su Ye.
"Zhao Qian, Wang Teng, Li Shishi. You've come too. Master is still considering it. He hasn't made a final decision."
The young man called Zhao Qian wore a brocade robe embroidered with golden dragons. He was handsome, but his face held an overbearing arrogance.
He scoffed and swept his gaze over Su Ye as though inspecting merchandise.
"Senior Brother Wu Shan, no need to keep us at arm's length. Everyone knows the Heavenly King has wanted to take another disciple in recent years. We've trained here for this very chance. So yes, we're surprised someone suddenly turned up from the Human World down below."
He stressed "Human World down below," his contempt unmistakable.
Wang Teng, dressed in black with an aura as keen as a blade, chimed in.
"Brother Zhao is right. The Human World has thin Spiritual Energy and an Incomplete Heritage. What talent could possibly come out of it? I doubt he even knows the basics of the Divine Realm. And he wants to vie for a place as the Heavenly King's disciple?"
Li Shishi
