Stop Quarreling, or I'll Punish You...

Ye Tianyi felt that Heavenly Showoff System should be given to Shi Jiayi. She was truly showy.

Wow! How could this woman's skin be so thick? Even he felt embarrassed.

The school authorities, especially Dean Li Boren, were covered in black lines.

"Teacher Shi, stop fooling around. The assessment begins now."

Li Boren spoke helplessly into the microphone.

The students of Class One then stepped onto the stage.

There was a table on the stage, and atop it sat a gemstone like a starry sky.

Qin Chao then said, "Today's assessment is rather special. There will only be one round: a talent assessment. This is a Star Fortune Stone. A warrior places their hand on the Star Fortune Stone and releases their spiritual energy and Attribute Power. Based on their entire condition—including attribute purity, age, realm, and so on—the Star Fortune Stone will assess their talent. It will display seven colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple. Red means mediocre talent, while Purple is the highest. At present, only Lin Changtian, Bai Hanxue, and I in all of Heavenly Water Academy have reached Purple talent. Of course, Instructor Shi Jiayi and Senior Sister Ye Xian'er also possess Purple-tier talent!"

After a pause, he continued, "You Beginner Class students are all new students who entered the academy only last month, and you have already undergone one assessment. However, today's assessment is particularly important. The top hundred ranked students in the Beginner Class can advance directly into the Intermediate Class and receive more Cultivation Resources and instruction."

After speaking, Qin Chao looked at Ye Xian'er and said, "Senior Sister Ye Xian'er, could I trouble you to demonstrate how to use this Star Fortune Stone for everyone?"

Ye Xian'er nodded slightly, then stepped forward two paces. Her slender jade hand rested on the Star Fortune Stone as she circulated her spiritual energy.

Whoosh—

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, and Blue flashed in rapid succession. Finally, purple light burst forth, dazzling beyond measure, drawing cries of amazement from the crowd.

Ye Tianyi looked at Ye Xian'er in admiration.

Truly, if he had not held her back, she would have become a Heaven's Favored Daughter by now.

"Xian'er has grown so much stronger again. What a pity—what a terrible pity."

Li Boren watched the scene, pushed up his glasses, and could not help sighing. His gaze fell upon Ye Tianyi at the front of the Class Ten crowd.

"Hmph! All looks and no decency!"

Li Boren let out an angry sigh.

He felt sorry for Ye Xian'er.

"You have all seen it. Senior Sister Ye Xian'er possesses top-tier Purple talent. Across the entire continent, those capable of reaching such talent are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. However, even warriors with mediocre talent can still improve their talent through acquired effort and opportunities, so there is no need for you to lose heart. Likewise, I hope that among you, Purple top-tier cultivation talent warriors will emerge. Now, Class One students, please take the stage in order and begin your talent assessments."

Qin Chao said.

Then a young man stepped forward and nervously placed his hand on the Star Fortune Stone. Class One's Instructor helped record the result.

Whoosh—

The light barely rose from Red to Orange before stopping.

Li Boren secretly shook his head.

These new students truly got worse with every generation. In the past, there had been Shi Jiayi, Ye Xian'er, Bai Hanxue, Qin Chao, Lin Changtian, and the others. Yet among this batch of freshmen, not one could be brought out into the light. Heavenly Star Academy's freshman quality was quite good this year. At this rate, Heavenly Star Academy would likely leave Heavenly Water Academy in the dust.

One warrior after another underwent the assessment, and every result was unsatisfactory.

"Ye Tianyi, you'll be going up there to embarrass yourself soon. Get ready. Oh, right... with skin as thick as yours, you probably aren't afraid of embarrassment. You're used to losing face anyway."

Huo Shui folded her arms and laughed as she glanced at Ye Tianyi beside her.

Ye Tianyi looked at Huo Shui.

"Flat-chested girl, I'm begging you, stop hugging your chest. When other people hug their chests, they use their arms to lift them up. When you hug yours, you're just blocking everyone's view so they think you have something there, right?"

Ye Tianyi curled his lips into a smile.

"Heh..."

Huo Shui scoffed.

Ye Tianyi had been rather lucky. On the first day, before she could teach him a lesson, he had gotten into a conflict with someone else and run off. Today, before she could deal with him, Shi Jiayi had arrived. But she absolutely would not allow Ye Tianyi to keep running wild. At Heavenly Water Academy, at least in the Beginner Class, no one dared provoke her. Her title as the Witch had not been earned for nothing. Other men looked at her the way mice looked at cats. She simply could not understand why Ye Tianyi, a piece of trash, still dared to act as though he feared neither Heaven nor Earth before her.

"Stop arguing. If you keep arguing, I'll punish you by making you kiss."

Shi Jiayi looked over and said.

Ye Tianyi: "..."

Huo Shui: "..."

A big shot was indeed a big shot. Even her words were different.

"An eight hundred yuan girl? Not interested in kissing her. Sigh." Ye Tianyi lamented.

"Brother Ye, can I follow you from now on?"

Li Bang looked at Ye Tianyi expectantly.

For some inexplicable reason, he simply felt that Ye Tianyi was amazing.

"Why do you always want to follow me?"

"Because Brother Ye has the face of a protagonist. In the novels I read, the supporting characters around the protagonist all become very powerful because of the protagonist in the end. I want to become a supporting character by Brother Ye's side too."

Ye Tianyi: "..."

No way. Was he so handsome that even men were captivated?

"Pfft—"

Huo Shui could not hold back her laughter.

"A protagonist? Hahahaha."

Huo Shui clutched her stomach and laughed until tears nearly fell. Forget it, she would not target Li Bang anymore. This kid was not too sharp in the head.

Li Bang scratched his head and said foolishly, "I... I just feel that way."

"Then do you have money?"

Ye Tianyi did not care about what he had said and asked instead.

"Yes, I get several tens of thousands of yuan in allowance every week."

Ye Tianyi's eyes lit up. Holy shit! This Fat Otaku was actually loaded!

"Fine, I'll take you in as my little brother. But you'll have to give me twenty thousand yuan in protection fees every week."

"No problem!"

Li Bang nodded excitedly.

Ye Tianyi laughed inwardly. Now his cigarette money was settled.

The students from the first nine classes soon finished their assessments. The highest talent had only reached Green, which was fairly decent.

"Class Ten, prepare yourselves."

Qin Chao said.

Everyone's attention turned toward Class Ten. Class Ten was the most controversial and most closely watched class among the Beginner Classes. It had Shi Jiayi, a beautiful Instructor; Huo Shui, the freshman campus belle; and Ye Tianyi, that human scum...

"Huo Shui, you're first. Ye Tianyi, you're second."

Shi Jiayi said.

Huo Shui nodded, then walked onto the stage and placed her hand upon it without hesitation. Power surged forth.

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue...

The six colors flashed rapidly. In the end, the blue slowly, slowly transformed into purple. A light purple glow settled in place. It was not as dazzling as Ye Xian'er's, but it still drew a wave of gasps.

Huo Shui curled her lips, then walked down from the stage.

Li Boren nodded in satisfaction. "This girl is not bad. She already performed brilliantly in her first assessment. At eighteen, she has Spirit Refining Realm Third Stage cultivation. Her talent is considered very high. This batch of freshmen has at least produced one outstanding child."

"Ye Tianyi."

Shi Jiayi gestured at Ye Tianyi with her lips. Ye Tianyi then walked onto the stage. On the way, Huo Shui gave him a provocative smile.

"That's Ye Tianyi, right? That human scum? Ye Xian'er's younger brother?"

"That's him. He's only a Qi Foundation Realm Fifth Order piece of trash."

"Wow! He's really handsome! Standing beside Qin Chao and Lin Changtian, why do I feel like he's even more handsome?"

"What use is being handsome? He's just scum!"

"..."

The moment Ye Tianyi stepped onto the stage, it sparked a huge uproar. Everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Ye Tianyi glanced at Bai Hanxue. Bai Hanxue decisively turned to the side, too lazy to look at him. Then Ye Tianyi looked toward Ye Xian'er, whose eyes subtly encouraged him.

"Ding... You have triggered the task [Bai Hanxue's First Kiss]. Task Reward: unlock a Law Domain Realm Top Tier Law in advance. Task duration: for as long as the Scumbag System exists. Task Punishment: upon reaching the Law Domain Realm, you will definitely possess no Law."

Sure enough, Bai Hanxue had also triggered a task from the Scumbag System. Ye Tianyi did not understand what the task reward was, but he knew what Laws were. Laws were something a warrior could only comprehend after reaching the Law Domain Realm. Of the Three Thousand Great Daos and Nine Thousand Laws, some were strong and some were weak. If he completed this task, would he, a mere Body Refining Realm warrior, possess a Law that only Law Domain Realm warriors could possibly possess? This...

But...

This system was really helpful. Bai Hanxue's First Kiss? She wanted him dead right now. Could it not trigger some easier tasks?

Ye Tianyi then took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it. He placed his hand on the Star Fortune Stone while Shi Jiayi below watched him with great interest.

Whoosh—

The light began to flash...

Everyone had initially watched him with mocking expressions, but as the light flickered, every expression gradually froze...

Even the air around them seemed to freeze, and silence fell by their ears...
