King of Ten Thousand Years

Luo Tian stopped on the chain and looked behind him.

Xia Bingyue was being besieged by two Official Disciples, driven off the chain and knocked back ten or twenty meters.

His expression darkened, and he turned around!

The woman with the slender eyebrows was stunned.

’My intimidation must be quite effective,’ she thought. ’Luo Tian is retreating so obediently.’

But then she realized something was wrong. Luo Tian wasn’t retreating—he was running back the way he came.

’Has this kid gone mad?’

”Luo Tian?”

Gongsun Long was also taken aback when he saw Luo Tian running back. He even thought Luo Tian was coming to stop him.

He had already prepared to fight, but Luo Tian completely ignored him and charged toward the rear.

Gongsun Long’s body stiffened slightly.

’What’s wrong with Luo Tian? Is he giving up on the Main Peak assessment?’

A strange scene unfolded between the Fourth Peak and Yu Yue Peak.

All the disciples were scrambling to rush forward.

Only Luo Tian was running backward.

Luo Tian once again drew everyone’s attention.

”What... What’s going on?”

”Why is Luo Tian running back?”

The disciples sprinting forward were utterly baffled.

”What’s with that kid?”

Even the few Stewards couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Every disciple who encountered Luo Tian consciously moved aside, not a single one blocking him.

Based on his previous performance, Luo Tian had a high chance of becoming a Main Peak Disciple.

Now that Luo Tian was abandoning the assessment, it meant one more spot was available. They were too grateful to even think of stopping him.

Thus, Luo Tian’s journey back was exceptionally smooth.

”Luo Tian, are you trying to...”

Qi Yuntian’s gaze narrowed. He glanced at Xia Bingyue behind him and understood everything.

Xia Bingyue was fighting against two cultivators of the Earth Element Realm.

The conflict started because Xia Bingyue had unintentionally gotten in their way earlier, and they refused to let it go.

It was common for Official Disciples to bully Auditor Disciples, especially since Xia Bingyue had ”provoked” them.

The short-haired man’s Cultivation was at the Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer, while the other was at the Earth Element Realm Fifth Layer.

Against their combined might, Xia Bingyue was no match.

”You bitch! A mere Auditor Disciple dares to get in my way!”

The short-haired man struck out repeatedly with his palms, unleashing a fierce, layered Palm Technique!

HISS! HISS!

Xia Bingyue swung her Treasure Sword, unleashing a brilliant white Sword Light that carried the essence of a snow-capped peak. It shattered all of the short-haired man’s palm attacks.

Her Sword Dao Attack was comparable to that of the Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer.

The short-haired man’s face darkened slightly.

He originally thought he could defeat Xia Bingyue with a few casual moves. He never expected her to be so strong, with such an extraordinary Sword Intent.

”I will not lose to a mere Auditor Disciple!”

The short-haired man shouted coldly.

Just then, a cold voice came from ahead. ”Winning and losing are about strength. What does status have to do with it?”

SWOOSH!

Luo Tian rapidly approached.

”How could you...”

Xia Bingyue’s icy, beautiful face seemed to melt like a glacier as ripples flickered in her eyes.

The short-haired man was also stunned. ’Why would someone be running backward?’

”Come with me!”

Luo Tian said, holding out a hand to Xia Bingyue.

Xia Bingyue didn’t want to rely too much on Luo Tian, but she was unwilling to miss this opportunity.

At the same time, a small part of her wished to go to the Main Peak with Luo Tian.

SWOOSH!

Xia Bingyue leaped over, extending her fair hand to take Luo Tian’s.

”You two!”

The short-haired man’s expression froze for a moment, then he erupted in fury!

’How dare these two Auditor Disciples flaunt their affection right in front of me!’

”You two, don’t you dare look down on Official Disciples!”

The short-haired man roared and thrust his palms out, trying to stop Luo Tian and Xia Bingyue from joining up.

His companion, at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Fifth Layer, also struck with lightning speed.

”Get lost!”

Luo Tian struck out with a silver palm. A ferocious, unparalleled Palm Force, laced with an icy chill, swept forward.

BOOM!

The short-haired man’s Palm Technique Attack was effortlessly crushed by Luo Tian.

The short-haired man was sent flying fifty or sixty meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Meanwhile, the Official Disciple at the Peak of Fifth Layer was also repelled by a single strike from Xia Bingyue, a bloody gash left on his body. At the same time, Luo Tian grasped Xia Bingyue’s hand and pulled her forward.

A faint blush crept onto Xia Bingyue’s icy, beautiful face, and her expression became unnatural.

”Everyone, get out of the way!”

Luo Tian, however, wasn’t overthinking it. He gave a cold shout, his momentum unstoppable!

The many disciples ahead were all startled.

They turned to look!

So, Luo Tian had returned to help a beauty!

’Get out of the way?’

Most of the disciples remained expressionless, ignoring Luo Tian’s words.

A few even sneered in disdain!

’Even if Gongsun Long said that, he couldn’t make every disciple move aside!’

’What gives Luo Tian the right?’

Besides, if they moved, they would be letting two people pass.

There were only twenty spots for Main Peak Disciples in total!

”If you’ve got the guts, then try to pass us with someone in tow!” an Official Disciple shouted.

Luo Tian’s Body Technique speed was certainly profound and unpredictable.

But leading another person in this environment increased the difficulty immensely!

Luo Tian said nothing more.

HUMMM!

A silver light flickered across his skin as he released a powerful and intimidating Powerful Aura!

In the next instant, Luo Tian shot across the chain like a meteor, his presence earth-shattering.

”What?”

An Official Disciple ahead was shocked to see Luo Tian charging straight at him.

He immediately launched an Attack, smashing out a huge, crimson fist of light.

BOOM!

But his Fist Technique Attack was like tofu hitting a rock; it was shattered on impact with Luo Tian.

And Luo Tian himself was completely unscathed!

Luo Tian closed in fast. The Official Disciple didn’t have time to dodge and was sent flying by the direct collision. He suffered several broken ribs and spewed mouthfuls of blood.

This brutal scene made many of the disciples ahead of them tremble!

’This kid is more ferocious than a primordial beast!’

BOOM!

Soon, another disciple at the Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer was sent flying.

Sometimes, words were useless. Only actions could prove everything!

”Get out of the way!”

The miserable fate of the two Official Disciples intimidated many others.

When Luo Tian arrived, many disciples chose to move aside.

”Brat, it won’t be so easy to get past me!”

A disciple at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer’s face sank as he saw Luo Tian approaching.

His strength was close to Gongsun Long’s!

As someone at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer with a great hope of entering the Main Peak, how could he back down just because of Luo Tian’s words!

HISS!

He slashed out an arc of cyan light that flickered with electricity. Its power was terrifying, cleaving through everything before it!

Cold Wind Palm!

Luo Tian unleashed a Palm Technique like an icy storm to meet it head-on.

The two Attacks clashed, and the cyan arc of light gradually dimmed and dissipated!

The icy chill surged forward!

The Official Disciple couldn’t completely avoid it. The chill seeped into him, forcing him back several steps, his body stiff with cold.

Suddenly, an Ice Crystal Sword Radiance slashed down, as fast as lightning, leaving a bloody wound on the Official Disciple’s arm.

The one who struck was none other than Xia Bingyue.

She had never intended to rely entirely on Luo Tian to pass the assessment.

Xia Bingyue had been looking for a chance to contribute. The enemies before them had been utterly crushed by Luo Tian, so it took her some effort to finally find an opportunity to strike.

”Damn it, you two...”

Wounded and having witnessed the strength of Luo Tian and Xia Bingyue, the Official Disciple backed away.

Luo Tian and Xia Bingyue crushed everyone in their path and successfully arrived at Yu Yue Peak!

At this point, their ranking upon reaching Yu Yue Peak was still within the top fifty.

”I’ll remember this favor. Now, let’s hurry and find the Jade Crystal Flowers.”

Xia Bingyue’s gaze swept over the surroundings, and she immediately sprang into action.

From their current position, it would be very difficult to enter the top twenty.

Xia Bingyue felt a little guilty.

If it weren’t for her, Luo Tian would have had a one-hundred-percent chance of becoming a Main Peak Disciple!

But at the same time, she also felt a flicker of joy and was deeply moved.

”Follow me.”

Luo Tian said calmly.

Xia Bingyue looked puzzled. When searching for the Jade Crystal Flowers, splitting up was clearly more efficient.

But for some reason, Luo Tian’s words convinced her.

The two of them hadn’t walked for long when they saw three pink Jade Crystal Flowers in a mountain stream not far away.

”So fast!”

Xia Bingyue was instantly surprised.

It was as if Luo Tian knew exactly where the Jade Crystal Flowers were hidden, heading straight for the target.

”Let’s go!”

After picking the Jade Crystal Flowers, Luo Tian led Xia Bingyue to the next location.

HUMMM!

Luo Tian’s Spiritual Sense covered a radius of five to six hundred meters!

After his Creation Technique broke through to Third-Layer Minor Achievement, his Spiritual Will had improved further, and the range of his Spiritual Sense had expanded.

Within the range of his Spiritual Sense, everything was crystal clear. Finding things was just too easy.

The upper echelons of the Tai Yuan Sect would never have expected that among the disciples in the assessment, someone would have developed Spiritual Sense so early in their Cultivation!

And so, Luo Tian was cheating openly, right in front of everyone!

In addition, Luo Tian could also use the methods of the Destiny Dao for Inference. Simply calculating a general direction was very easy.

Therefore, Luo Tian’s efficiency in finding Jade Crystal Flowers was several times that of an ordinary person.

Soon, the two of them had obtained four Jade Crystal Flowers of different colors.

Or rather, it was all thanks to Luo Tian. From beginning to end, Xia Bingyue had done nothing.

”We’re already done!”

Xia Bingyue was shaken, unable to hide her joy and excitement.

”Let’s go!”

Luo Tian continued to lead Xia Bingyue by the hand to the other side of Yu Yue Peak.

Here, there were also three chains connecting to the Third Peak.

When they arrived, there were only twelve figures ahead of them, all scrambling to rush toward the Third Peak.

In other words, in the task of finding the Jade Crystal Flowers, Luo Tian and Xia Bingyue had surpassed nearly forty people!

Luo Tian and Xia Bingyue immediately got onto a chain.

Just then, a figure rushed up from behind—it was Qi Yuntian.

Qi Yuntian looked stunned.

’Didn’t Luo Tian go back to help Xia Bingyue? When did the two of them get ahead of me again?’

He even suspected that Luo Tian and Xia Bingyue hadn’t actually found the four different-colored Jade Crystal Flowers.

SWOOSH!

Qi Yuntian also dashed out.

Even if Luo Tian was with Xia Bingyue, he would still give it his all.

In this Main Peak assessment, his rank had to be higher than Luo Tian’s!

「On the Fourth Peak.」

The Elder and several Stewards in charge of the assessment were gazing toward the other end of Yu Yue Peak.

Suddenly, they saw Luo Tian, Xia Bingyue, and Qi Yuntian!

”Did Luo Tian and that female disciple find the Jade Crystal Flowers so quickly?” a Steward asked, quite astonished.

The three of them—Luo Tian, Xia Bingyue, and Qi Yuntian—were the first group of Auditor Disciples to complete the Jade Crystal Flower task!

It was not easy for Auditor Disciples to achieve such a feat.

Moreover, Luo Tian had even been delayed for some time on the way to Yu Yue Peak for Xia Bingyue’s sake.
