I Break through Crazily

At this moment, a single question was on everyone’s mind.

Who exactly was this candidate?

How could he possess such immense power?

It wasn’t just the disciples and candidates of the West Mansion Outer Mansion who wanted to know. Even the Hall Masters of the Outer Mansion’s Eight Palaces were going crazy, desperate to learn this candidate’s identity so they could recruit him into their respective palaces.

But...

Other than a temporary ID number, they knew nothing about this candidate.

According to news from the Lii Palace, the candidate with the temporary ID 59416 was wearing a mask. The disciples who had fought him couldn’t see his face at all!

Without a face to go on, how could anyone find this candidate in the vast sea of people?

They couldn’t just grab every candidate’s arm to check their temporary ID, could they?

Even if they could, there were over ten thousand candidates across four major districts. How long would that take?

So, aside from being shocked and curious, there was nothing else they could do.

Of course, while the vast majority had no idea who the candidate with temporary ID 59416 was, a small group of people had guessed his identity.

This group consisted of the candidates from the North District, along with the disciples and Chief Examiners who had returned to the West Mansion with them.

These people had a vague feeling that the candidate who had shot into the top 1,000 of the rankings was Tang Yi.

After all, who was Tang Yi?

He was someone who had defeated a Battle Emperor Powerhouse and could instantly kill a Battle King. For someone like that, entering the top 1,000 of the Outer Mansion’s rankings was no problem at all.

The North District candidates were originally the best of their region. But after arriving at the West Mansion, they experienced what it was like to be targeted at every turn and got a taste of the scorn and disdain of others.

The candidates from the other three major districts, intentionally or not, would cause trouble for them. Whenever they ran into them in the Dui Palace, they would be met with cold remarks, direct insults, or simply looks of utter contempt. This left the North District candidates feeling incredibly frustrated.

But they knew they were no worse than the others. Besides, their North District had Tang Yi, a peerless genius whom no one could compare to.

They desperately wanted to tell everyone how incredible their Tang Yi was and that the person who had just entered the top 1,000 was very likely him!

If their group from the North District hadn’t sworn an oath not to reveal any information about Tang Yi, they would have blurted out their suspicions.

They would have even shouted to the world that their North District was the strongest!

But they couldn’t do that. They couldn’t say anything about Tang Yi. Before the House Entrance Examination, they had to keep it all bottled up inside.

However, even though they couldn’t speak of it, they held a hope in their hearts. They hoped that the candidate on the rankings was indeed Tang Yi, that he would achieve even more glorious accomplishments, and that he would win back the honor that rightfully belonged to the candidates of the North District!

...

West Mansion Inner Mansion, Central Palace Eternal Divine Hall.

At this moment, a group of elders was gathered in the great hall. Each one emanated a powerful aura, and they all looked incredibly strong.

The Central Palace Eternal Divine Hall was the heart of the West Mansion and the center of power for the entire Western Domain. All policies and regulations were discussed and established within the Eternal Divine Hall.

Only the upper echelons of the West Mansion, a group of people standing at the top of the West Mansion’s pyramid, were permitted to enter the Eternal Divine Hall.

Entering the Eternal Divine Hall was a symbol of status. All disciples of the West Mansion, whether from the Outer Mansion or the Inner Mansion, aimed to one day enter it.

However, in the Eternal Divine Hall at this moment, besides the elders exuding powerful auras, there was surprisingly a middle-aged man with a distinguished air who only radiated the aura of a Battle King.

If Tang Yi had been there, he would have been extremely surprised, because this middle-aged man was none other than the Chief Examiner from Fengyue City, someone he was very familiar with—Wang Zongyao!

”I heard there’s a candidate in the Outer Mansion who, before even officially entering the mansion, has already broken into the top 1,000 of the rankings. Nephew Wang, you also went out to serve as a Chief Examiner this time. Do you have any idea who this candidate is?”

The news that an unenrolled candidate had made it onto the Outer Mansion rankings had caused such a stir that even the high-level members of the West Mansion had heard about it. So, when one of the elders learned that Wang Zongyao had been a Chief Examiner, he immediately asked him about the matter.

Hearing this, Wang Zongyao clasped his hands in a salute and answered without so much as a twitch of his brow, ”I do not know. I was only in charge of the qualification exam in the North District’s Fengyue City. There were no candidates that talented in Fengyue City. Perhaps they are from another city or another region.”

Of course, Wang Zongyao wanted to give certain people a big surprise, so he naturally wouldn’t report Tang Yi’s situation to the West Mansion’s upper echelons.

Wang Zongyao didn’t even need to guess; he knew the candidate who had just entered the top 1,000 was undoubtedly Tang Yi. Besides Tang Yi, who else could break into the top 1,000 before even entering the mansion?

’What kind of people are in the Outer Mansion’s top 1,000? They’re all genius disciples at the Nine-star Battle Spirit Level!’

How could unenrolled candidates possibly defeat such disciples?

Some of the Outer Mansion disciples on the rankings were even stronger than he was. If the examinations for the Inner Mansion had already begun, those disciples might have already been promoted.

Therefore, the only person who could defeat these people and enter the top 1,000 of the Outer Mansion rankings was Tang Yi.

At the same time, Wang Zongyao grumbled to himself about Tang Yi.

’Didn’t I tell Tang Yi to keep a low profile before the House Entrance Examination? Why did he have to stir things up like this? If he gets discovered, how are we supposed to play this out?’

”Not even Nephew Wang knows? It seems this candidate is even more mysterious than we imagined.”

The West Mansion senior shook his head and smiled. After a moment of thought, he said to Wang Zongyao, ”Since we’re all curious about this candidate, Nephew Wang, why don’t you go to the Outer Mansion for us and see just what kind of person he is.”

As he spoke, the West Mansion senior handed a square, jade pendant-like object to Wang Zongyao and added, ”This is the West Mansion Key. Take this to the Outer Mansion’s Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall, and you’ll be able to look up anyone’s personal information. Even temporary IDs are no exception. With this, you should be able to find out who this candidate is.”

”The West Mansion Key! It can reveal anyone’s personal information?”

Wang Zongyao’s heart skipped a beat. He had no idea such a thing existed!

He was inwardly relieved. ’If the senior had given this to someone else, Tang Yi’s identity would be exposed! All the fun would be over! Thank goodness, thank goodness he gave it to me!’

Wang Zongyao clasped his hands and said respectfully to the West Mansion seniors, ”I will go at once and see just how talented this unenrolled candidate truly is!”

With that, Wang Zongyao turned around and left the Eternal Divine Hall with a broad smile on his face.

...

Meanwhile, Tang Yi was finally matched with his third opponent.

Tang Yi usually didn’t pay any mind to his opponents from the Outer Mansion. However, he could feel the aura of a Battle King Powerhouse from the opponent standing before him.

He used his Celestial Eye Technique to take a look, and...!!!!
