The strongest in Tian Wu City is but a Second Rank, Ninth Layer.
A random elder from Beichen Sword Sect actually possesses cultivation of the Third Rank, First Layer.
The foundation of Beichen Sword Sect really is extraordinary.
As for the youth behind him, he is a Second Rank, First Layer Inner Sect Disciple.
The elder's gaze swept across the crowd and eventually settled on Wang Tianyu.
"Wang Tianyu, you are already an Inner Sect Disciple, why are you here?" the elder looked at Wang Tianyu and asked.
"Elder Zhao, I came with my fiancée Zhou Mengyue to participate in the assessment. She has entered the Sea-Splitting Realm and was accepted as a disciple by Elder Sun Xiang, but has not yet obtained Sect Disciple status. According to tradition, she should come to participate in the assessment," Wang Tianyu said.
"Oh? A Mysterious Yin Body, sixteen years old, Second Rank Sea-Splitting Realm, not bad. Since she has already been accepted by Elder Sun Xiang, then today is just a formality. You don't need to test; just stay here and watch," the elder said to Zhou Mengyue with a smile.
"Yes, Elder," Zhou Mengyue immediately responded with joy.
"Brother Wang, Sister Zhou, my name is Wang Chao, congratulations to Sister Zhou for becoming an Inner Sect Disciple of our Beichen Sword Sect."
The youth immediately came forward to greet Wang Tianyu and Zhou Mengyue.
Wang Tianyu nodded indifferently.
"Mengyue meets Brother." Zhou Mengyue responded with an alluring smile.
However, with that smile, she instantly captivated Wang Chao.
Many around were also lost in Zhou Mengyue's beauty.
Xu Ping'an saw this scene and couldn't help but sneer.
Zhou Mengyue's charm was indeed not small, but it is a shame she has a heart like a venomous serpent.
"Alright, the hour has come, let's begin the Sect entrance assessment over there," the elder announced.
"Elder, this person is a wastrel who cannot cultivate and has even brought a nun to Beichen Sword Sect. This is a humiliation to our Sect and he should be expelled from the mountain gate," Wang Tianyu immediately stood out and pointed at Xu Ping'an.
At these words, many around nodded in agreement.
It's bad enough that he can't cultivate himself, but to bring a nun is simply bringing bad luck.
Hearing these words, Su Chan involuntarily stepped back three steps, her eyes filled with immense pain.
And yet, Xu Ping'an was filled with a murderous fury.
"Oh? Daring to insult Beichen Sword Sect?"
The elder immediately looked at Xu Ping'an, then glanced at Su Chan standing behind him, his eyes flashing with displeasure.
"Elder, actually, this person is here because of me. To tell you the truth, he was once a live-in son-in-law of the Zhou Family. However, during the wedding day, he spouted nonsense, damaging the reputation of my family and insulting a Sect sister, so the Zhou Family annulled the marriage. Now, he has run here to pester me," Zhou Mengyue spoke up.
"Hmph, a wastrel dares to pester Sister Zhou? Brother Wang, Sister Zhou, don't worry, I'll drive him away right now," Wang Chao said angrily.
Having said that, he walked up to Xu Ping'an and shouted: "Get out! Our Beichen Sword Sect is no place for a wastrel like you. And take this stinking nun with you, so you won't defile our mountain gate."
Everyone around sneered, finding Xu Ping'an to be a joke.
Wang Tianyu looked at Xu Ping'an with a mocking gaze.
"What did you say?" Xu Ping'an immediately became furious, thunder flashing in his eyes.
"I said stinking nun, get lost!" Wang Chao repeated immediately.
Xu Ping'an's murderous intent surged.
"Ping'an, let it be, this is Beichen Sword Sect!"
Su Chan beside him instantly became anxious.
She did not want to see Xu Ping'an lose his life over her.
Yet Xu Ping'an's eyes remained resolutely determined.
To kill a First Layer Sea-Splitting Realm, he still had a way, although it would cost him.
"Hold on!"
Just then, the elder suddenly called out.
With a flash, he was standing in front of Xu Ping'an, looking at him excitedly as if he had found a treasure.
All the surrounding people were puzzled.
Zhou Mengyue and Wang Tianyu too were confused.
"Old man, you want to stop me?"
Xu Ping'an asked coldly, showing no respect.
Old man?
All the surrounding people were stunned.
This Xu Ping'an was courting death!
Wang Tianyu and Zhou Mengyue sneered; had Xu Ping'an gone mad?
But the elder was not angry at all; instead, he asked with a smile, "May I see your meridians?"
"Didn't your Beichen Sword Sect say you wouldn't accept a wastrel like me?" Xu Ping'an sneered back.
"Presumptuous, to speak to an elder like that, are you seeking death?" Wang Chao immediately roared in anger.
The crowd around also sneered.
It seemed that Xu Ping'an really had a death wish.
"Slap!"
What nobody expected, however, was that the elder slapped Wang Chao across the face.
Wang Chao was stunned, looking at the elder in confusion.
The crowd around was similarly bewildered.
What was happening?
The elder didn't explain but turned to Xu Ping'an with a gentle smile, "I am the person in charge of the assessment here, and I never said I wouldn't accept you."
All the disciples participating in the assessment were surprised.
Why was this elder treating Xu Ping'an, a wastrel, with such an attitude?
Zhou Mengyue was also deeply concerned, feeling an ominous premonition.
"You can look, but he must kneel and apologize to my aunt," Xu Ping'an pointed at Wang Chao and demanded.
"You're looking for death, apologizing to a nun? Delusional," Wang Chao immediately roared in anger.
Many people also thought Xu Ping'an was crazy to make such a demand.
"Kneel down!" However, the elder next to them shouted loudly.
"What? Elder... I... how can I apologize to a nun..." Wang Chao was instantly dumbfounded.
"I told you to kneel down!" The elder's Third Rank presence burst forth immediately.
Wang Chao was startled and fell to his knees with a thud, his face as dark as a liver.
The crowd around was dumbstruck.
Wang Tianyu and Zhou Mengyue were equally shocked. Why was Elder Zhao so biased towards Xu Ping'an?
"Is it acceptable now?" the elder asked.
Xu Ping'an didn't say a word, just extended his arm.
The elder grabbed Xu Ping'an's arm and began to carefully sense it.
After a moment, his facial expression turned to shock.
"Indeed... Indeed it is so..." the elder was excited beyond measure, even a little beside himself.
The people around were all baffled.
