With that, Liu Qianqian, Zhang Xiaoshi, Wang Hai, and Xiao Wei walked out from behind a large tree.
"Are you looking for the Leaf Team?"
Zhang Xiaoshi shouted towards the crowd.
The students were startled, and then followed the direction of the voice.
"It's the Leaf Team!"
Yang Feng also heard Zhang Xiaoshi's words and quickly ordered, "Capture them!"
In an instant, more than fifty students rushed towards the four members of the Leaf Team.
Yang Feng stood under an ancient tree, sneering. He thought, Ye Chen, you offended me, Yang Feng, and I'll make you experience the taste of being crippled.
Suddenly, Yang Feng felt a chill around his neck. He focused his eyes and was terrified to find a gleaming alloy long knife.
Yang Feng swallowed hard, terrified. When he turned around, he saw no one else but Ye Chen.
"Order your people to stop," Ye Chen said slowly.
Yang Feng stared into Ye Chen's eyes, feeling as if he were facing a ferocious beast. Coupled with the alloy long knife at his neck, his heart was about to collapse.
"Stop! Stop now!" Yang Feng shouted, desperately.
The students from the ten teams had just arrived at the Leaf Team's location. However, the Leaf Team had only run a short distance when Yang Feng screamed for them to stop.
The students turned around, wondering why Yang Feng was giving such an order.
"How is this possible!"
All the students were astonished when they saw the scene. It was beyond their wildest dreams.
The Leaf Team, thinking they would run a considerable distance, unexpectedly managed to capture Yang Feng so quickly.
"Ye Chen, when did you appear behind me?" Yang Feng's voice trembled.
"Does that matter?" Ye Chen said indifferently. "Let them hand over all the score tables."
Saying this, Ye Chen's alloy long knife got closer to Yang Feng's neck.
Yang Feng, terrified, looked at the gleaming alloy long knife in front of his neck.
"Quickly! Hand over all the score tables!" Yang Feng shouted at the students.
The students were in a state of shock. They could hardly believe what was happening.
The Leaf Team, seeing Ye Chen successfully capturing Yang Feng, wore smiles of satisfaction. They had expected to run a longer distance, but Ye Chen had managed to capture Yang Feng so quickly.
"Ye Chen, you appeared behind me when?" Yang Feng's voice trembled.
"Does it matter?" Ye Chen said indifferently. "Let them hand over all the score tables."
Saying this, Ye Chen's alloy long knife got closer to Yang Feng's neck.
Terrified, Yang Feng stared at the gleaming alloy long knife in front of his neck.
"Quickly! Hand over
After allowing the other students to leave, Ye Chen released Yang Feng. At this point, all the team's score tables were in the hands of the Leaf Team.
"Ye Chen, let's go out," said Liu Qianqian.
Ye Chen nodded, and the five of them walked out of the transit forest.
...
After the Leaf Team of five walked out of the transit forest, they found that, except for the two teams from their class, all the other students were looking at them angrily.
"You, the Leaf Team, dare to snatch all the students' score tables?" a teacher coldly looked at the Leaf Team of five.
"Name: Wang Qiang."
"Cultivation Talent: Low-grade."
"Realm: Two-star warrior."
This teacher's talent and realm information appeared on Ye Chen's retina.
Wang Qiang was Yang Feng's class teacher. For this wilderness trial, two teachers brought ten classes from the third grade of AnYue Academy to the transit forest. The two teachers were Wang Qiang and Lin Gensheng.
"Clearly, it was Yang Feng who did this first. We only treated him the same way he treated us," Xiao Wei said.
Lin Gensheng, as Ye Chen's class teacher, naturally spoke in favor of the Leaf Team.
"Wang Qiang, every time in the wilderness trial, your class always gets first place. Now that my class got first place, are you jealous?" Lin Gensheng's face showed a triumphant look.
"Would I be jealous of you?" Wang Qiang stared at Lin Gensheng.
Lin Gensheng shrugged, not continuing the conversation.
...
Lin Gensheng and Wang Qiang led all the students back to AnYue Academy.
The top three teams in the wilderness trial could receive rewards.
The first-place team would receive an advanced body-forging technique for each member.
The second-place team would receive a Qi-enhancing pill for each member.
The third-place team would receive a hemostatic pill for each member.
And the student with the highest score among all participants in the wilderness trial would receive a reward related to the blood of a fierce beast.
At this moment, all the students from the entire school stood on the square.
Principal Zhang Fenghe and several weighty teachers stood on the platform.
"Cough."
After clearing his throat, Zhang Fenghe began to speak: "All the students who participated in the wilderness trial, you've worked hard. The purpose of the wilderness trial is to enhance your practical combat experience."
"Now, please let the first-place team come on stage to receive their rewards!"
Without a doubt, the Leaf Team went on stage, and each member received an advanced body-forging technique.
For the first and second grades at AnYue Academy, students practiced primary body-forging techniques. Second-grade students practiced intermediate body-forging techniques. To practice advanced body-forging techniques, one had to win first place in the wilderness trial.
"Ding! Detected an advanced body-forging technique. Does the host wish to practice it?"
Ye Chen was stunned. Was this even possible?
"Practice."
"10%... 30%... 60%... 100%."
"Advanced body-forging technique practiced successfully."
The body-forging technique could significantly enhance physical qualities, such as strength, speed, and defense. After Ye Chen copied the intermediate strength talent, now with the successful practice of the advanced body-forging technique, he felt that his strength had reached a terrifying level.
"Now, please let the second-place team come on stage to receive their rewards!"
First and second-grade students had predicted that the Leaf Team would get first place, so they were not surprised when the Leaf Team went on stage. However, they thought the second-place team would undoubtedly be Yang Feng's Rampage Team.
But what surprised the students was that the Rampage Team hesitated to go on stage to receive their rewards.
Principal Zhang Fenghe and several teachers were also puzzled. After a look around, Zhang Fenghe continued, "Please let the second-place team come on stage to receive their rewards."
The students on the square were surprised that the second-place team still didn't go on stage to receive their rewards.
"What's going on? Could it be that the second-place team doesn't want the rewards?" someone wondered.
"Who says they don't? Maybe they just don't care about the Qi-enhancing pills," another student speculated.
"I wish they would give the Qi-enhancing pills to me."
The students began discussing the situation.
Principal Zhang Fenghe's face darkened. He had already announced it twice, and the second-place team still hadn't come on stage.
"Principal," Ye Chen said to Zhang Fenghe, "there actually is no second-place team."
Zhang Fenghe and the teachers were puzzled for a few seconds, not understanding what Ye Chen meant.
"Ye Chen, there were thirty teams participating in the wilderness trial. How could there be no second-place team?" Zhang Fenghe asked in confusion.
"Because..." Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Fenghe and the teachers, saying, "We plundered all their score tables."
What!!!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fenghe and the teachers were shocked. A single team had snatched all the score tables from other teams? Could that be possible?
Zhang Fenghe and the teachers found it hard to believe, but when the Leaf Team produced all the score tables, they had no choice but to believe.
Although this had never happened before, the school had not specified any rules against plundering score tables.
The principal, Zhang Fenghe, and the teachers smiled bitterly.
"You, the Leaf Team," Zhang Fenghe gave them a thumbs-up, "well done."
Snatching all the score tables from all the teams with just one team – Zhang Fenghe could only commend them for their boldness.
Afterwards, the second-place team's Qi-enhancing pills and the third-place team's hemostatic pills were also handed to the members of the Leaf Team.
Seeing the Leaf Team producing so many score tables on the square, the students finally understood why there was no second-place team on stage.
So, the score tables had all been plundered by the Leaf Team?
They began to stare in shock!!!
Next, it was the most important reward, the fierce beast's blood.
The condition for obtaining fierce beast blood was to have the highest score among all students participating in the wilderness trial.
This undoubtedly belonged to Ye Chen.
When Principal Zhang Fenghe handed a small bottle of fierce beast blood to Ye Chen, all the students on the square looked at him with envy.
This was fierce beast blood! Yang Feng's face turned dark. He stared at Ye Chen on the stage, clenched his teeth, and coldly said, "Ye Chen, just wait for me!"
...
After resting in the dormitory for a day, the next day, Ye Chen took the fierce beast blood and headed towards the practice room.
Arriving at the practice room, the students' gazes toward Ye Chen had changed from disdain to deep admiration.
With high cultivation talent and an intermediate reserve warrior, anyone would envy him.
If they knew that Ye Chen not only had high talent but also an intermediate strength talent, they wouldn't know how shocked they would be.
Ye Chen ignored the students, used the elemental crystal card to open a reserve warrior's practice room, and entered it, sitting cross-legged.
"Let's see what extraordinary abilities you have." Ye Chen looked at the bottle of fierce beast blood in his hand and murmured.
Then, Ye Chen opened the bottle, drank the fierce beast blood in one gulp, and felt an endless pain throughout his body!
When the pain subsided, it felt like being burned by fierce flames.
After a long time, this feeling finally disappeared. Ye Chen opened his eyes, revealing a pleased smile.
"At least tripled my strength."
Ye Chen continues to cultivate in the practice room, and the absorption speed of the high-level talent for qi is terrifying.
Ten days later!
Ye Chen opens his eyes.
"High-level reserve warrior!"
He is somewhat excited. Originally, it wouldn't be so fast to become a high-level reserve warrior, but because of the existence of the fierce beast blood, he achieved it in just ten days.
A high-level reserve warrior is already the strongest student in the entire East Base City.
East Base City has three major academies: AnYue Academy, TianLan Academy, and KuangFeng Academy.
All three academies are low-level cultivation academies.
In three months, there will be a big competition among the three academies to select students to go to the BaiYun Intermediate Cultivation Academy.
After taking a shower in the dormitory, Zhang Xiaoshi and Wang Hai enter the room.
"Ye Ge, did you come out of the practice room?" Zhang Xiaoshi looks at Ye Chen.
"Yeah." Ye Chen nods.
"Ye Ge." Zhang Xiaoshi hesitates for a few seconds. "Yang Feng is planning to deal with you."
Ye Chen smiles inwardly, wondering if Yang Feng is planning to use the power of his family.
Yang Feng's family is a powerful force in East Base City.
"Yeah, Ye Ge. I heard that Yang Feng has already found his cousin Wu Yun and is coming to deal with you," Wang Hai adds.
Wu Yun?
Ye Chen naturally doesn't know Wu Yun.
"Ye Ge, Wu Yun is a student at BaiYun Intermediate Cultivation Academy, and his strength is already very powerful. Shouldn't you avoid him?" Zhang Xiaoshi suggests.
Ye Chen shakes his head and says, "There's nothing to avoid. Soldiers come to block, water comes to soil cover."
...
Three days later, Yang Feng and a student two years older than him arrive at AnYue Academy.
"Cousin, this time you must teach that kid a lesson!" Yang Feng says to the person beside him.
This person is none other than Yang Feng's cousin, Wu Yun.
"Don't worry, little Feng. Isn't he just a student from a low-level academy?" There's a strong disdain on Wu Yun's face.
Yang Feng sneers, thinking about Ye Chen. This time he must let Ye Chen know the consequences of offending him, Yang Feng!
After that, Yang Feng's followers gather around him.
"Bai Jun, go bring Ye Chen here!" Yang Feng coldly commands.
"Uh, Yang Feng, I...," Bai Jun's face shows a hint of fear.
Humph!
But suddenly, Shi Lei snorts, "I'll go!"
In the wilderness, Shi Lei was impressed by Ye Chen. Even though he verbally admitted Ye Chen's strength, he wasn't fully convinced. Now that Yang Feng is looking for someone to deal with Ye Chen, he won't let go of this opportunity.
Immediately, Shi Lei heads towards the class where Ye Chen is.
Not long after, Shi Lei arrives at the third-grade (1) class where Ye Chen is located.
Unlike schools in China, warrior academies spend more time explaining warrior knowledge in class and more time on cultivation.
At this time, there is no teacher in the classroom. Shi Lei gathers his courage at the door and then walks into the classroom.
All the students in the classroom look at Shi Lei.
"Shi Lei, why did you come in?" Staring at Shi Lei, Liu Qianqian says.
Liu Qianqian is the class leader of Class 3 (1).
"Yang Feng's big brother asked Ye Chen to go to the square," Shi Lei says.
As soon as this is said, all the students look at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen is sitting at his desk, cutting his nails with a nail clipper, seemingly not hearing Shi Lei's words.
Shi Lei swallows nervously. Although he doesn't fully admit Ye Chen's strength, they all feel a bit scared facing Ye Chen now.
"Why is Yang Feng looking for Ye Chen?" Liu Qianqian asks.
Braving courage, Shi Lei coldly says, "Yang Feng has invited his cousin Wu Yun and wants to have a battle with Ye Chen outside the school."
After saying this, Shi Lei looks at Ye Chen and continues, "I wonder if Ye Chen dares to accept the challenge!"
However, Shi Lei finds that Ye Chen is still cutting his nails, as if he hasn't heard his words.
For a while, Shi Lei doesn't know what to do.
In AnYue Academy, except for the training ground, fighting is prohibited in other areas. However, Shi Lei feels that Ye Chen is about to attack him.
Cold sweat... starts to break out on his forehead.
Silent, very quiet.
Shi Lei seems to only hear the sound of Ye Chen's nail clipper. His heart is in his throat, and cold sweat has soaked his whole body.
Ye Chen finally finishes cutting his nails. He puts the nail clipper on the desk and looks at Shi Lei, saying, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Hearing this, Shi Lei almost loses his soul.
Fortunately, Ye Chen didn't hit him, but walked towards the classroom door.
Liu Qianqian and other students followed!
Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and he collapsed on the ground. Finally, he understands why Bai Jun didn't want to come.
...
Ye Chen and the students arrive at the square, and they see Yang Feng and others from a distance.
Students practicing elementary and intermediate body forging techniques on the square all cast their eyes over.
Ye Chen and his group stop ten steps away from Yang Feng and others.
The students on the square look at this scene, feeling a surge of excitement. Is there going to be a group fight?
"Cousin, he is Ye Chen!" Yang Feng says to his cousin Wu Yun.
Wu Yun looks at Ye Chen up and down and then shows a mocking smile.
"I heard you are quite arrogant," Wu Yun disdainfully says to Ye Chen.
"Name: Wu Yun."
"Cultivation talent: Intermediate."
"Secondary strength talent: Awakened."
"Realm: High-level reserve warrior."
Wu Yun is a student at BaiYun Intermediate Cultivation Academy, where intermediate academies can awaken innate attribute talents. Cultivation talent is innate, while attribute talents are awakened later.
Don't be fooled by just a secondary strength talent; it can bring great effects. A high-level reserve warrior with an attribute talent and a high-level reserve warrior without an attribute talent are not comparable at all.
"Ye Chen, you were quite arrogant in the Transient Forest. Now my cousin is here. Continue to be arrogant!" Yang Feng's face is extremely proud. He doesn't want the elders in the family to intervene, as it would lead to the involvement of Liu Qianqian's family.
Yang Feng's followers also become complacent, looking disdainfully at Ye Chen.
Liu Qianqian is furious. She looks at Ye Chen, ready to speak, but Ye Chen speaks first.
Ye Chen looks at Wu Yun and says lightly, "Let's go, have a battle outside."
Wu Yun is stunned. He didn't expect Ye Chen to dare say such words.
"Are you sure you're not begging for mercy but want to fight me?" Wu Yun looks at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiles, "With your level, do you even qualify to make me, Ye Chen, beg for mercy?"
Hiss! Yang Feng and his followers are dumbfounded. They never expected Ye Chen to be so arrogant when facing Wu Yun.
"Good! Then let's have a battle outside!" Wu Yun declares.
Immediately, not only Ye Chen's group and Yang Feng's group but also all the students on the square follow along. They wouldn't miss such a good show.
"Principal, the other party is from BaiYun Intermediate Cultivation Academy. Shouldn't we..." Lin Gensheng's words are interrupted by Principal Zhang Fenghe.
"Let them stir things up." Zhang Fenghe waves his hand, then walks into the principal's office.
...
AnYue Academy, behind a small grove.
Countless students from AnYue Academy are standing in the grove. Their faces are exceptionally excited because they know they are about to witness a great battle.
"Ye Chen, you probably don't know who he is, do you?" Yang Feng looks disdainfully at Ye Chen.
"He is my cousin Wu Yun from BaiYun Intermediate Cultivation Academy, a high-level reserve warrior, intermediate talent, and secondary strength talent!" Yang Feng continues.
After hearing this, all the students are dumbfounded.
Intermediate talent in AnYue Academy is already considered a super genius, and he also has secondary strength talent?
It's important to note that having secondary strength talent means having an attribute talent!
Any student discovered to have an attribute talent will immediately receive special attention from the academy.
Hearing this, a worried expression appears on Liu Qianqian's fair face. Although Ye Chen is stronger than her, the opponent is still a high-level reserve warrior with secondary strength talent.
"Qianqian, you don't need to worry. Actually, I'm not..." Ye Chen's words are not finished when Yang Feng's arrogant voice interrupts.
"Ye Chen, although you have high talent, you are just an intermediate reserve warrior. Kneel and beg for mercy quickly. Perhaps my cousin can spare your life."
At this moment, Yang Feng's face is full of pride. Wu Yun also looks proud. Obviously, he enjoys Yang Feng's praise.
All the students in the grove look at each other, all looking at Ye Chen, curious about how he will respond.
"What are you..." Ye Chen looks at Wu Yun, "waiting for?"
Wu Yun's pupils suddenly shrink upon hearing this. He never expected Yang Feng to reveal his identity, and Ye Chen remains so calm.
"Since you insist on seeking death, then don't blame me!" Wu Yun clenches his fist and punches towards Ye Chen. There's already a hint of wind force on his fist.
Reserve warriors can't cultivate skills; they can only practice some body forging techniques. Of course, Ye Chen is an exception.
At the first level of body forging, one can exert 80 catties of force!
At the second level, one can exert 120 catties of force!
...
An elementary reserve warrior can exert 700 catties of force.
An intermediate reserve warrior can exert 1000 catties of force.
A high-level reserve warrior can exert 1200 catties of force.
With secondary strength talent, Wu Yun can exert at least 1500 catties of force.
All the students widen their eyes. Wu Yun's punch is about to hit Ye Chen.
Strength?
Ye Chen smiles coldly. He is now a high-level reserve warrior with intermediate strength talent!
He can exert at least 2000 catties of force!
If he adds the profound-level skill, Great Strength Bull Demon Fist, the horror becomes even more evident.
Just as Wu Yun is about to approach Ye Chen, Ye Chen also throws a punch!
"Boom!"
Ye Chen's fist collides heavily with Wu Yun's fist.
Yang Feng naturally knows how miserable Ye Chen's fate will be, but when he sees the painful expression on Wu Yun's face, he is stunned.
All the students see the painful expression on Wu Yun's face.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Wu Yun grits his teeth, enduring the pain, and looks at Ye Chen, saying firmly.
"Impossible?"
Ye Chen coldly smiles.
Suddenly, he kicks Wu Yun's body. Wu Yun immediately flies backward, and after landing, he feels like his internal organs have shifted.
"Oh my God!"
All the students in the grove can't help but exclaim. They thought it was an unsurprising battle since Wu Yun is not only a high-level reserve warrior but also possesses an attribute talent.
Yang Feng is even more stunned, petrified in place, unable to recover for a long time.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
On the ground, Wu Yun still can't believe that he was easily defeated by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looks at Wu Yun indifferently, "Your strength is indeed not bad, but never compare strength with me."
Liu Qianqian looks at Ye Chen's slightly slender figure and can't help but recall the words he didn't finish earlier.
"Qianqian, you don't need to worry. Actually, I'm not..."
She finally understands the meaning of these words. Actually, I'm not an intermediate reserve warrior; I'm a high-level reserve warrior.
To achieve this, one must be at least a high-level reserve warrior, possibly even higher.
However, Liu Qianqian is still a bit puzzled. Even if Ye Chen is a high-level reserve warrior, Wu Yun is also a high-level reserve warrior.
Suddenly, she feels that Ye Chen has become extremely mysterious.
Once a waste, now seems to have risen to the sky.
Ye Chen looks at Yang Feng, who is petrified. He says lightly, "Do you still think I need to kneel now?"
All the students in the grove look at Yang Feng, only to find that Yang Feng's face is already full of horror.
"No, no need," Yang Feng answers in shock.
"Come here." Ye Chen beckons with his finger.
"What... what are you doing?" Yang Feng's face changes.
At this moment, Ye Chen's classmates are all excited, thinking that he was so proud just now, why not continue?
"Just come over!" Liu Qianqian frowns and stares at Yang Feng.
Swallowing hard, Yang Feng can only walk in front of Ye Chen.
He originally thought that Ye Chen's fate would be miserable. Now he finds that not only was he wrong, but he was also wrong beyond redemption.
"Smack!"
Before Yang Feng can speak, a powerful slap comes towards him. He is not even able to react before his face receives a heavy blow.
"The first slap is because you provoked me."
Covering his face, Yang Feng looks at Ye Chen in astonishment. This is the first time he has been slapped since he was born, and it's done by someone else.
"Ye Chen, how dare you..."
Before Yang Feng finishes his words, his face suffers a second heavy blow. His eyes are almost seeing stars.
"The second slap is for being ignorant!"
All the students in the grove look at each other. They couldn't have dreamed of such a scene.
"Smack!"
Another sound of a slap enters the ears of all the students.
"The third slap is for no other reason; I just want to hit you."
Yang Feng is almost in tears. Where has he ever suffered such humiliation?
Ye Chen's face shows no emotion. He looks at the now moist-eyed Yang Feng and slowly says:
"Three slaps. Are you convinced?"
Dominant, too dominant!
All the students in the grove feel that Ye Chen is too dominant, and admiration appears in their eyes.
"I..."
Yang Feng looks at Ye Chen in horror, "I'm convinced."
Yang Feng is truly scared. He feels that if he doesn't admit defeat, the consequences will be dire.
"You don't accept it," Ye Chen says calmly.
Yang Feng is startled and hastily replies, "I accept."
"Do you really accept?"
"I really accept."
Yang Feng is on the verge of tears; he really is. Ye Chen doesn't continue to look at Yang Feng; he turns to Liu Qianqian and says, "Let's go."
Subsequently, Ye Chen, Liu Qianqian, and the other students leave the grove and return to AnYue Academy.
This incident quickly spreads throughout AnYue Academy, shocking all the teachers and students.
...
Ye Chen has just come out of the training room, thinking that it won't be long before he can duplicate talents again. He opens the attribute panel to check.
"Host: Ye Chen."
"Training Talent: High-level."
"Attribute Talent: Intermediate Strength Talent."
"Realm: High-level Reserve Warrior."
"Skill: Great Strength Bull Demon Fist (Mystic Rank, Low-level)."
Ye Chen wonders how long it will take to duplicate the third talent he desires. He currently needs an attribute talent, but none of the students at AnYue Academy have attribute talents, and he doesn't dare to venture into the depths of the Overpass Forest.
"Ye Chen."
Liu Qianqian's voice appears in his ears.
"Qianqian, why do you seem so happy?" Ye Chen is a bit puzzled.
Liu Qianqian smiles, "My dad wants to see you."
Ye Chen is surprised; he never expected Liu Qianqian to say something like that. After all, her father is the number one powerhouse in Dongji City!
"Qianqian, does My Father In law really want to see me?" Ye Chen smiles.
Liu Qianqian's face turns red, shyly saying, "What, what father-in-law."
"Don't pretend, Qianqian. I know you like me," Ye Chen says lightly.
Liu Qianqian blushes even more. Ye Chen secretly smiles, thinking this girl is still so shy.
"Well, you," Liu Qianqian raises her head to look at Ye Chen, "do you like me?"
"Of course, I do. Otherwise, how could I call him father-in-law," Ye Chen pats Liu Qianqian's head.
With these words, warmth appears in Liu Qianqian's heart.
After that, Ye Chen and Liu Qianqian leave AnYue Academy.
...
The two take a taxi and arrive at an extremely luxurious mansion not long after.
Two golden characters are prominently displayed on the gate — Liu Family.
The characters are exceptionally dazzling under the sunlight.
"Let's go in." Liu Qianqian looks at Ye Chen.
"Qianqian, I'm about to meet your dad. I'm a bit nervous." Ye Chen says.
Liu Qianqian smiles, "Now you know you're nervous. Weren't you just talking about father-in-law?"
After teasing each other for a while, they finally enter the Liu family.
...
The two walk into the mansion, and a middle-aged man approaches.
This middle-aged man has a robust build, with a terrifying scar on his face, making him look intimidating.
"Miss, the master is waiting for you in the room," the middle-aged man respectfully says to Liu Qianqian.
"I know, Uncle Tiger." Liu Qianqian sweetly replies.
Ye Chen looks at the middle-aged man called Uncle Tiger, and his talent and realm information appears in his visual field.
"Name: Lei Hu."
"Training Talent: Intermediate."
"Attribute Talent: Low-level Strength Talent."
"Realm: Nine Stars Warrior."
Ye Chen is secretly surprised—Nine Stars Warrior? A Nine Stars Warrior in Dongji City is undoubtedly a top-notch powerhouse. The fact that such a formidable person is respectful to Liu Family indicates his loyalty.
"Ye Chen, let's go meet my dad," Liu Qianqian says to him.
Ye Chen nods, and the two enter the Liu Family hall.
As they step into the Liu Family hall, Ye Chen immediately senses the imposing aura of a formidable warrior. He focuses and sees a man standing in the hall with his back turned to them. Judging from his build, he seems to be of a similar age to Uncle Tiger.
Even without looking at his face, Ye Chen can guess that this person is Liu Qianqian's father, Liu Xingyun, Dongji City's number one powerhouse.
"Name: Liu Xinghe."
"Training Talent: Intermediate."
"Attribute Talent: Intermediate Strength Talent."
"Realm: One Star Grandmaster."
Seeing Liu Xinghe's information, Ye Chen is secretly amazed. To be a One Star Grandmaster, like him, with the presence of an intermediate strength talent, is quite astonishing.
"You've arrived," Liu Xinghe says and turns around after.
While Ye Chen and Liu Qianqian have a close relationship, he has never met Liu Xinghe. After Liu Xinghe turns around, Ye Chen takes the chance to scrutinize his appearance.
Liu Xinghe, around forty, has a face that commands respect. He has sharp eyebrows and a pair of fierce eyes, giving an intimidating presence. Additionally, Liu Xinghe's clothes have a bright golden star, the emblem of a One Star Grandmaster.
After beckoning for Ye Chen to sit and having the butler serve tea, Liu Xinghe starts speaking, "You must be Ye Chen?"
"Yes, Uncle."
Ye Chen answers truthfully.
"Good, indeed a young hero." Liu Xinghe praises.
Although Ye Chen and Liu Qianqian's relationship isn't extraordinary, the information about Ye Chen's deeds at AnYue Academy has reached Liu Xinghe. Naturally, Liu Xinghe appreciates Ye Chen; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to meet him.
"Ye Chen, the tri-school competition in Dongji City is in three months. They are selecting students to go to Baiyun Intermediate Martial Academy. Do you have confidence?" Liu Xinghe asks.
"Yes." Ye Chen answers with only one word, which speaks volumes.
In this world, to enter an intermediate martial academy from a low-level one, there are two options: pay a hefty tuition or secure a spot through the tri-school competition. In Dongji City, there are ten spots available.
"Ye Chen, can you tell me what your background is?" Liu Xinghe suddenly asks.
As the honorary principal of AnYue Academy, Liu Xinghe is surprised by Ye Chen's sudden rise. He has received reports from AnYue Academy Principal Zhang Fenghe, who praised Ye Chen and mentioned that his background is not simple.
Liu Qianqian also looks at Ye Chen, eager to know his background.
As a former waste with a talent ridiculed as inferior, Ye Chen suddenly becomes the academy's most formidable genius. The speed of his improvement is impossible, leading to only one explanation—he has been concealing his true strength.
With both Liu Xinghe and Liu Qianqian staring at him, Ye Chen shakes his head and says, "I don't have any background."
