Everyone's eyes fell on the silver-haired youth.
Their gazes were filled with surprise and curiosity.
Why were they surprised?
Because that silver-haired youth actually dared to offend Nalan Ye, a disciple of the Nalan Clan.
As for their curiosity, it was all about the silver-haired youth's identity.
Many people knew that the Misty Cloud Sect had produced a genius girl named Nalan Yanran.
A genius girl who had possessed the strength of a one-star Dou Zhe at the age of fourteen.
Rumor had it that this girl would be the future successor to the position of Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Thus, the Nalan Clan's status had risen along with Nalan Yanran's identity.
The reason Nalan Ye acted so arrogantly was that he relied on his status as a disciple of the Nalan Clan.
"Who the hell is this kid? He actually dared to offend Nalan Ye?"
"Hehe, maybe he's some young master from a great clan who doesn't know his place."
"Daring to offend Nalan Ye in the Misty Cloud Sect? His days ahead won't be easy."
"This is going to be entertaining."
The people around them waited for the show to begin.
Those who enjoyed watching trouble believed that if Chen Xuan lacked a powerful background, then offending Nalan Ye had been a foolish choice.
Nalan Ye got back to his feet and glared at Chen Xuan viciously.
He had never expected anyone to dare offend him.
"You're courting death!" Nalan Ye roared furiously.
Dou Qi surged around him as he charged at Chen Xuan, looking ready to tear him to pieces.
Sensing that Nalan Ye's aura was only at the seventh stage of Dou Qi Power, Chen Xuan sneered inwardly.
In his eyes, someone at the seventh stage of Dou Qi Power was nothing more than weak trash.
Many people were shocked when they sensed the aura Nalan Ye released.
They all thought Chen Xuan was doomed.
But the outcome was beyond everyone's expectations.
Nalan Ye came charging in fiercely, his aura sharp and oppressive.
But when he reached Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan nimbly dodged his attack and kicked out like lightning.
A scream rang out, and Nalan Ye was kicked to the ground once again.
"Hehe, so this is a disciple of the Nalan Clan? Pathetic." Chen Xuan mocked Nalan Ye.
Nalan Ye's face turned livid at those words, and his eyes nearly spat fire.
At sixteen, he had already reached the seventh stage of Dou Qi Power. That was quite impressive, and he certainly was not trash.
Yet Chen Xuan's words were naked humiliation to Nalan Ye.
And he had insulted every disciple of the Nalan Clan as well.
That was simply unbearable.
After all, the Nalan Clan had a favored daughter of heaven, the most outstanding disciple in the history of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Many people felt that Chen Xuan was far too arrogant to insult all the Nalan Clan's disciples.
Because everyone knew that the most gifted disciple in the Misty Cloud Sect was from the Nalan Clan.
Nalan Ye could not swallow this insult.
Just as he was about to attack again, a stern shout rang out.
"Stop! Are you tired of living, causing trouble in the Misty Cloud Sect?"
A handsome young disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect walked over.
He had a tall, upright figure and handsome features. Dressed in a moon-white robe, he looked around eighteen or nineteen years old.
What drew even more attention were the four golden stars embroidered on his chest.
Four golden stars represented the strength of a four-star Dou Zhe.
Possessing the strength of a four-star Dou Zhe at such an age showed that his cultivation talent was extraordinary.
When the youths waiting for the assessment saw him, admiration filled their eyes.
They knew he was a talented disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Those four golden stars represented his strength.
"Senior Brother, my name is Nalan Ye, and I am a disciple of the Nalan Clan." Nalan Ye respectfully bowed to Mo Li before continuing, "I was waiting in line properly for the assessment, but this kid suddenly cut in line. When I refused to let him, he even attacked me."
Nalan Ye accused Chen Xuan first, while also making sure to reveal his identity.
Upon learning that Nalan Ye was a disciple of the Nalan Clan, Mo Li smiled faintly and said amicably, "So you're Yanran's family. Don't worry, I'll definitely seek justice for you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for upholding justice." Nalan Ye was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
The people around them looked at Chen Xuan with pity, all believing he was about to suffer badly.
Mo Li stared coldly at Chen Xuan. "Not lining up properly is a provocation against the Misty Cloud Sect. You are not qualified to take the assessment."
Faced with Mo Li's targeting, Chen Xuan remained completely calm.
He was only a four-star Dou Zhe. Chen Xuan was confident he could handle him.
If he revealed his strength, he believed he could gain the Misty Cloud Sect's attention.
Making a big fuss out of it would be perfect.
"Are you the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect?" Chen Xuan asked Mo Li with a mocking expression.
"No. So what?" Mo Li replied.
"Since you're not the Sect Master, can you represent the Misty Cloud Sect merely as one of its disciples?" Chen Xuan continued.
"No," Mo Li said coldly.
"Since you can't represent the Misty Cloud Sect, what gives you the right to strip me of my qualification to take the assessment?" Chen Xuan sneered. "If your arbitrary decision causes the Misty Cloud Sect to lose a peerless genius, can you bear that responsibility?"
"Arrogant and conceited." Mo Li looked at him with utter contempt.
Judging by Chen Xuan's appearance, he was only thirteen or fourteen. How talented could he possibly be?
Did he think everyone was Nalan Yanran?
"Ignorant fool." Nalan Ye sneered. "Compared to our Nalan Yanran, you are nothing."
"I already said it—the disciples of your Nalan Clan are all trash." Chen Xuan grinned, looking especially punchable. "That Nalan Yanran or whatever, I don't even take her seriously."
Hearing Chen Xuan's absurdly arrogant words, the people around him sneered inwardly.
They all thought he was an idiot.
Mo Li looked at Chen Xuan as if he were looking at a fool, even with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"What is all this commotion?"
A reprimanding voice rang out, carrying an air of authority.
An imposing presence arrived with it.
Someone appeared before the crowd.
Seeing him, Mo Li hurriedly bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Elder Ge."
Elder Ge nodded slightly, his expression indifferent. "What happened?"
Mo Li then explained what had happened.
When Elder Ge learned that Nalan Ye was a disciple of the Nalan Clan, he gave him a glance.
Naturally, Chen Xuan was unconvinced by Mo Li's account.
He stated that Nalan Ye had been the one to cut in line first.
Both sides stuck to their own stories.
Elder Ge made them stop arguing. He looked around at the crowd and asked solemnly, "Did any of you see who cut in line?"
Everyone looked at one another, but no one answered immediately.
They did not want to offend Nalan Ye and did not dare point fingers.
As for Chen Xuan's identity, no one knew it.
But since he dared confront both Nalan Ye and Mo Li, he presumably had some confidence.
So no one pointed anyone out, and they all claimed not to have seen anything.
"Return to your places. Don't cause any more trouble, or get out," Elder Ge told them.
After saying that, he returned to the assessment area.
Mo Li glared fiercely at Chen Xuan before leaving.
Nalan Ye continued waiting for the assessment in front of Chen Xuan.
The assessment continued.
Those who passed were arranged to one side, while those who failed left regretfully.
"Nalan Ye, sixteen years old, seventh stage of Dou Qi Power. Not bad talent. You pass the assessment."
Elder Ge nodded in satisfaction at Nalan Ye, praise in his eyes.
Reaching the seventh stage of Dou Qi Power at sixteen meant his talent was already quite good.
The youths taking the assessment around them looked at Nalan Ye with envy.
Feeling their envious gazes, Nalan Ye looked extremely pleased with himself.
He deliberately made a provocative gesture at Chen Xuan.
"What are you so proud of? You're just trash." Chen Xuan curled his lips disdainfully in response.
Hearing this, the people around them became even more curious about Chen Xuan.
Could this guy's talent be even greater than Nalan Ye's?
And he looked two years younger than Nalan Ye.
If his talent was truly more outstanding than Nalan Ye's, that would be extraordinary.
Being looked down on made Nalan Ye furious.
If he could, he wanted to smash his fist into Chen Xuan's face right then.
Elder Ge frowned slightly, displeased, but he did not act.
He wanted to see just how talented Chen Xuan was.
Mo Li wore a mocking expression as he waited for Chen Xuan to be humiliated.
