Supreme Lord of Towers

Ah!

The piercing screams echoed above the White Jade Battle Platform, sounding eerie and chilling.

The cry came from Ning Hongye’s mouth.

Under the attack of the Fire Ape Fist, the massive Iron Blood Spirit Tree, several tens of meters high, had huge fist-sized holes appearing on its trunk, with fierce flames burning atop.

As a result, Ning Hongye suffered from the backlash of Bloodline Power, with all her meridians completely shattered, her face paler than a corpse.

”What? He actually cultivated the Fire Ape Fist to the Transformation Realm, how is this possible?” Inside the grand hall, whether it was the Soul Palace Master Chen Fei or the Celestial Flame Peak Master, their bodies froze in place, as if petrified.

Especially Duanmu Ying, her eyes were wide open, even her delicate body trembled violently.

”Your strength is nothing more than this, who gave you the confidence to underestimate others.” Ye Chen sneered coldly, step by step approaching Ning Hongye.

”Don’t come over, don’t come over.” Ning Hongye had lost all her previous arrogance, her expression was one of extreme terror, looking at Ye Chen as if staring at a peerless god of death, causing her soul to involuntarily shiver.

Now, she had completely lost her ability to fight.

Ye Chen killing her was merely a matter of a thought.

”Enough, Ye Chen, you’ve already won, there’s no need to kill them all.” Just then, the Celestial Flame Peak Master’s voice, full of majesty, suddenly sounded in Ye Chen’s ears.

At the same time, a powerful surge of Celestial Spirits from his body firmly locked Ye Chen in place.

”Both of you, get lost! Dare to provoke me next time, it will not be just serious injuries.” Ye Chen said coldly.

Although he was eager to deal with Ning Hongye and Chen Bai, the Celestial Flame Peak Master and the Soul Palace Master would surely not let him have his way.

After all, the cultivation of both had already stepped into the Peak of Celestial Spirit Realm, the strongest existence in the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

If they were determined to save Ning Hongye and Chen Bai, Ye Chen had no chance.

”Oh my! Am I dreaming? Ye Chen actually defeated Senior Sister Hongye.”

”How could such a freak exist in the world, clearly unable to awaken his bloodline yet possessing such terrifying combat power.” The students watching gasped, their bodies petrified right there, as if witnessing the most unbelievable thing in the world.

”He won, Ye Chen actually won, Dad, did you see it?” At this moment, Ouyang Xue hurriedly came back from the healing chamber, just in time to see Ye Chen defeat Ning Hongye.

This left her in shock and excitement to the extreme.

She originally thought Ye Chen would surely face disaster, his strength clearly unable to contend against the two masters Ning Hongye and Chen Bai.

But unexpectedly, he created a miracle.

”Palace Master, since I have won, isn’t the position of Chief Disciple of War King Hall supposed to be mine?” Ye Chen’s gaze immediately met that of the Celestial Flame Peak Master, speaking with calm confidence.

”Yes! From now on, you are the Chief Disciple of War King Hall.” The Celestial Flame Peak Master nodded, a subtle chill flashing in the depths of his eyes.

This time, he had confidently believed Ning Hongye would secure the position of Chief Disciple of War King Hall.

But unexpectedly, she was defeated at Ye Chen’s hands.

This was truly beyond his expectations.

However, as the Palace Master of Celestial Flame Academy, he definitely could not renege on his word in front of so many people.

Since Ye Chen could defeat Ning Hongye and Chen Bai, the position of Chief Disciple of War King Hall naturally belonged to him.

Otherwise, it would be hard to convince the masses.

”Damned Ye Chen, such heavy-handed tactics, shattering all of my grandson’s meridians.” In the grand hall, the Soul Palace Master Chen Fei examined Chen Bai’s injuries using Divine Soul Power, and his face suddenly turned extremely gloomy, almost watery.

He had always cherished this grandson, treating him like a treasure.

But now, Ye Chen had shattered all his meridians.

Though this would not cost Chen Bai his life, it would take several months to fully recover.

Thus, the Soul Palace Master truly wished he could slap Ye Chen to death to vent his anger on behalf of his grandson.

”Senior Brother Chen, can you now understand my feelings? This little beast killed my nephew; I really wish I could eat his flesh! How about we just act today and eliminate this little beast? Given our status, no one can punish us for killing him.” At this moment, Duanmu Ying suddenly transmitted a message to the Soul Palace Master, her whole body emanating a terrifying killing intent.

She was actually urging the Soul Palace Master to kill Ye Chen.

”No way! Although this little beast is detestable, he is now a Seed Student of the War King Hall. If we rashly attack him, the envoy from the Immortal Dome Sect will definitely punish us.” The Soul Palace Master’s eyes flashed with deep dread.

Since ancient times, whether it was the War King Hall or seed students of the other three factions, they already qualified for protection by the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Under normal circumstances, Azure Sky Immortal Sect absolutely would not allow others to kill them.

Only in certain special competitions are they allowed to suffer casualties.

For instance, last time, when Ye Chen killed Duanmu Jie atop the Life and Death Battle Platform, nothing even happened.

And this time, to compete for the position of Chief Disciple in the War King Hall, he killed Zi Xuan, the Seed Student of Profound Sword Peak, and would not face any punishment.

However, if Duanmu Ying and the Soul Palace Master were to act against Ye Chen when he was without fault and kill him...

That would not only dishearten the students of Celestial Flame Academy but also violate the regulations of Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

At that time, their positions might be in jeopardy at any moment.

One must know that within Celestial Flame Academy, there are quite a few within the higher ranks eyeing their positions, ready to replace them should they commit any act that incurs public wrath.

”Damn it! As the esteemed master of a peak, I don’t even have the qualification to crush this ant? This truly infuriates me.” Duanmu Ying was trembling with anger, her eyes filled with deep humiliation.

”You know the rules of Azure Sky Immortal Sect, even we can’t break them at will, or else others will seize upon it. Last time, when you stopped Ye Chen from killing Duanmu Jie, it already caused dissatisfaction among many of the higher-ups, so I advise you not to act impulsively.” The Soul Palace Master shook his head and said.

Although he also wanted to vent his grandson’s anger, reason told him he absolutely could not proceed recklessly.

After all, the rules of Azure Sky Immortal Sect must not be violated lightly.

Otherwise, his position as Palace Master could be lost at any time.

”You little beast, don’t be too complacent, I refuse to believe there’s no way to destroy you.” Duanmu Ying’s face was ashen and sinister, she thought viciously to herself.

Last time, although she didn’t succeed in preventing Ye Chen from killing Duanmu Jie on the Life and Death Battle Platform, it still caused dissatisfaction among many of the higher-ups in Celestial Flame Academy.

Some even reported the incident to the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, accusing her of violating the Academy’s rules.

Although the Azure Sky Immortal Sect has not responded to it yet, it still made Duanmu Ying somewhat cautious.

So, she had to suppress her desire to kill and allow Ye Chen, this little beast, to continue jumping around for a while.

”Sigh! Although this guy is indeed very annoying, I have to admit, he is truly a freak! He hasn’t even been training in ’Fire Ape Fist’ for seven days, and already reached the Transformation Realm; such a person, I fear even the Azure Sky Immortal Sect can’t find many like him.” The Soul Palace Master couldn’t help but sigh after feeding Chen Bai a healing elixir.

Even though Ye Chen can’t awaken his bloodline.

His martial arts talent, however, is indeed heaven-defying, beyond the Soul Palace Master’s comprehension.

A freak like him, if he could awaken his bloodline, how many strong figures from the Immortal Sect would fight to recruit him?

Alas, he ultimately could not awaken his bloodline.

”Ha! Senior Brother Chen, you don’t really believe he reached the Transformation Realm with ’Fire Ape Fist’ in just seven days, do you? I’m telling you, that’s absolutely impossible! This little beast must have obtained this martial art over a month ago! Ouyang Zhong must have violated War King Hall’s rules and taught it to him in advance, or how else could he achieve this?” Duanmu Ying couldn’t help but snicker, her mouth full of mocking derision.

In her view, Ye Chen must have obtained ’Fire Ape Fist’ when being recruited by Duanmu Zhong into War King Hall.

That is to say, Ye Chen has been training in ’Fire Ape Fist’ for at least over a month.

Otherwise, no matter how heaven-defying his martial arts talent, without the aid of a bloodline, it would be impossible to cultivate ’Fire Ape Fist’ to the Transformation Realm in such a short time.

”What Junior Sister Duanmu said is very true. I never expected Ouyang Zhong, who seemed so honest, to do something so disgraceful in the dark. However, since he is already deceased, we have no need to blame him anymore.” The Celestial Flame Peak Master nodded, also finding Duanmu Ying’s words quite reasonable.

Otherwise, it really can’t be explained how Ye Chen managed to cultivate a Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm within merely seven days.

”Elder Ouyang, I have now become the Chief Disciple of War King Hall. If you have a spirit in heaven, you should feel gratified. My next step, I will certainly become the new Hall Master of War King Hall to fulfill your last wish.” At the top of the White Jade Battle Platform, Ye Chen’s fist involuntarily clenched tightly as he vowed silently in his heart.
