Supreme Lord of Towers

”Ye Chen, let’s go.” With a thought, Ouyang Zhong wrapped Ye Chen in Celestial Spirits and soared into the sky, reaching thousands of feet in an instant. The cultivators below appeared as tiny as ants.

Whoosh.

Ye Chen’s body swiftly traversed through the clouds and mist, a piercing sound of cutting through the air echoing in his ears, as they rapidly headed toward a peak north of the Celestial Flame Academy.

This peak was indeed the main peak of the War King Hall.

The War King Hall occupied a vast area, with dozens of towering peaks. Even the endless mountain range in the distance was the back mountain of the War King Hall.

In the back mountain, a large number of demon beasts lived, and even powerful Tier Two Demon Beasts roamed, making it an excellent place for students of the War King Hall to train.

As for the main peak of the War King Hall, it was the most important place there.

Whether it was the Treasure Pavilion and the Cultivation Hall, or the Spiritual Waterfall and the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool, these two major cultivation sites were all located on the main peak.

Therefore, every day, a large number of students come and go here.

Whoosh.

Ouyang Zhong directly landed with Ye Chen on the top of the main peak.

A splendid palace stood there, exuding an ancient charm, surrounded by ancient cypress trees, with an extremely elegant environment.

At this moment, a group of young people in their twenties was waiting at the entrance of the palace, their eyes filled with excitement.

”Haha! I’ve been in the War King Hall for four years, and I’ve finally accumulated enough contribution points to exchange for a Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts.” A young man in black exclaimed joyously.

”You’re quite impressive. I’ve been in the War King Hall for over six years, and I only just qualified to exchange for a Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts at the Cultivation Hall. If I can’t accumulate enough contribution points in another one or two years, I’ll be expelled from the War King Hall.” Another young man lamented.

According to the rules of the War King Hall, if a student fails to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for a Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts within eight years,

they will be expelled from the War King Hall and will no longer be a student of the Celestial Flame Academy.

In those days, the Patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Tong, was also a student of the Celestial Flame Academy. But because he could never obtain a Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts, he eventually had to leave the Celestial Flame Academy in disgrace.

Such people were all too common in the Celestial Flame Academy.

After all, accumulating enough contribution points was no easy task and required a certain level of strength.

If one’s strength wasn’t up to par, one would never accumulate enough contribution points.

”Oh? It’s the Grand Elder.” At this moment, a student of the War King Hall suddenly exclaimed, eyes filled with reverence.

”Greetings, Grand Elder.” The other students of the War King Hall hurriedly made their salutations to the Grand Elder, their demeanor exceedingly respectful.

The War King Hall had been without a Hall Master for forty years.

So, Ouyang Zhong, the Grand Elder, undoubtedly held the highest status in the War King Hall. Not to mention the students of the War King Hall, even the other Elders had to obey his orders.

”You’re here to exchange for cultivation techniques, right? Work hard, all of you.” Ouyang Zhong said with a gentle smile to the crowd, appearing very kind and without a trace of arrogance.

Then, he led Ye Chen into the palace ahead.

This palace was indeed the Cultivation Hall.

All the martial arts techniques of the War King Hall were practically stored in this palace, including those extremely rare Body Refining Techniques.

Unfortunately, in today’s War King Hall, fewer and fewer people had the talent to cultivate these Body Refining Techniques.

The vast majority of the students of the War King Hall had essentially given up on cultivating their physical bodies.

Only a very few students with Body Refining Talent still persisted.

”Who is the white-clothed youth beside the Grand Elder? To be with the Grand Elder, his talent must be exceptional. In the future, we should make sure to befriend him.” A young man asked with great curiosity, eyes full of envy.

Among the senior students of the Celestial Flame Academy, only a few had watched the new student competition.

So, it was perfectly normal for this young man not to recognize Ye Chen.

”Ha! His name is Ye Chen, a waste who can’t even awaken his bloodline. But he has a fivefold Qi Sea Foundation, so that’s probably what caught the Grand Elder’s attention.” A student sneered, his tone full of mockery.

Early yesterday, during the scoring match, news of Ye Chen’s inability to awaken his bloodline but having a fivefold Qi Sea Foundation had spread among some senior students.

And this student just happened to have heard about it.

He just didn’t know that Ye Chen had already won first place in this new student competition.

Otherwise he probably wouldn’t dare to mock Ye Chen again.

”What? A five-fold Qi Sea foundation, how is this possible? In the history of our Celestial Flame Dynasty, I fear such a person has never emerged before.” The young man’s body trembled suddenly, his expression filled with utmost disbelief.

”Hmph! So what if he has a five-fold Qi Sea foundation? He can’t awaken his bloodline, destined to achieve nothing in this life. If not for our War King Hall not having recruited a genius for a long time, the Grand Elder definitely wouldn’t have taken a fancy to him.” The student sneered, his eyes full of deep contempt.

”Alas! What a pity. If he could awaken his bloodline, perhaps he could have become a seed student of our War King Hall in the future.” The young man could not help but sigh, his brows full of deep regret.

It’s been many years since their War King Hall has produced a seed student.

As students of War King Hall, they also felt ashamed, and often, they would be ridiculed by students from other factions.

Therefore, they had always hoped that War King Hall could produce a seed student.

Unfortunately, after all these years, War King Hall has never been able to cultivate a seed student.

This is mainly because those prodigies who have awakened the Profound Bloodline have basically been snatched away by the other three major factions, and not a single one has chosen to join the War King Hall.

And the Ouyang Family, for these past years, has also not produced any geniuses who have awakened the Profound Bloodline, which has led to such an awkward situation.

”Heh! What are you thinking, a trash who can’t awaken his bloodline, let alone becoming a seed student, even being a candidate for a seed student is as hard as climbing to heaven. Let’s place our hope on Senior Brother Lu instead.” The student sneered.

”All of you shut up, you group of frogs at the bottom of the well.” At this moment, an aged voice suddenly came from the Cultivation Hall, with a hint of anger in its tone.

”It’s the Second Elder.” The students’ bodies trembled suddenly, their expressions filled with awe and respect.

Since the Cultivation Hall is an extremely important place, the Second Elder of the War King Hall has been guarding it.

With him around, no one has dared to steal martial arts from the Cultivation Hall.

It’s just that the Second Elder has always been a silent person, rarely has anyone heard him speak.

But now, he suddenly reprimanded everyone as a group of frogs at the bottom of the well.

What exactly is going on?

”Do you know, Ye Chen has already won the championship of this newcomer competition, what qualifications do you have to mock him?” The Second Elder’s voice came again from the Cultivation Hall, and his tone was extremely severe.

”What? He won the championship of the newcomer competition, how is this possible?” The student who had been mocking Ye Chen all along, his pupils contracted suddenly, his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

”Doesn’t this mean that Ye Chen is now a candidate for seed student, with a status much higher than us inner sect students?” The other students also gasped, their eyes full of intense dread.

No wonder the Grand Elder personally brought Ye Chen to the Cultivation Hall, it turns out Ye Chen has already won the championship of the newcomer competition.

But weren’t there a few geniuses who awakened the Profound Bloodline in this newcomer competition?

Have they all really been defeated by Ye Chen?

This is simply like a mythical story.

”What exactly happened in this newcomer competition, if I had known, I would have gone to see for myself.”

”Ye Chen is too terrifying, able to defeat those geniuses who have awakened the Profound Bloodline, what exactly is he capable of?” The students were shocked yet extremely curious, eager to have watched the competition personally.

Unfortunately, the newcomer competition is already over, and they can only inquire the details from others.

”I did not expect that our War King Hall could recruit a prodigy like Ye Chen, but unfortunately, he only has one month. If he cannot kill Duanmu Jie on the Life and Death Battle Platform, he is destined to die.” An old man with a face full of wrinkles couldn’t help but sigh in a corner of the Cultivation Hall.

This white-haired old man is none other than the Second Elder of the War King Hall, also Ouyang Zhong’s uncle, already in his nineties.

After learning of Ye Chen’s talent from Ouyang Zhong, he was also extremely excited.

However, Ye Chen had unfortunately fallen into Duanmu Jie’s sinister plot, and he must fight to the death with him on the Life and Death Battle Platform in one month.

If Ye Chen falls midway, the loss to War King Hall would be unimaginable.

”I hope the Body Refining Technique in the Cultivation Hall can rapidly boost Ye Chen’s strength. Only then does he have a glimmer of hope to defeat Duanmu Jie.” The Second Elder’s deep eyes could not help but look into the depths of the Cultivation Hall, thinking silently.

At this moment, in the second palace of the Cultivation Hall, Ouyang Zhong took a golden tome from a shelf above and handed it to Ye Chen.

The Cultivation Hall is divided into three layers. The first palace houses mostly Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts of the War King Hall.

As for the techniques in the second palace, they are much more precious than those in the first palace, either Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts or some rare Body Refining Techniques.

And at this moment, the golden tome that Ouyang Zhong handed to Ye Chen was a powerful Body Refining Technique called the ”Ancient Golden Elephant Technique.”

”Ye Chen, this ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ is one of the best Body Refining Techniques in our War King Hall. If cultivated to the Perfection Realm, the physical body can unleash the power of five hundred tigers, defeating Duanmu Jie wouldn’t be a difficult task. However, it’s extremely hard to cultivate this Body Refining Technique to the Perfection Realm within a month, even with the help of the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool, there is little hope.” Ouyang Zhong said with an incomparably solemn expression.

Right now, the only way he could help Ye Chen was by enhancing Ye Chen’s physical power.

After all, Ye Chen only had one month to cultivate, and enhancing physical power was undoubtedly the quickest method.
