The Dream Tapir had seen countless geniuses before, but he had never seen a genius who was able to perform to such an extent.
But . . . it should end here.
. . . . . .
Lin Tiancheng was sent out in dismal. He had failed once again. This was already the fifth time he failed to impact through the Heaven ranking!
Thinking about the musing looks and those eyes filled with mockery outside, Lin Tiancheng became frustrated.
Lin Tiancheng was already at the half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. Facing five First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists was truly a little too forced.
It was not that Lin Tiancheng wasn’t talented enough and was unable to take that final step. But it was because he had been suppressing his cultivation realm at half-step Spirit Condensation Realm.
In the Dan Wu Academy, the lower one’s cultivation realm was when passing the test and the smaller the age, showed that one’s potential was greater. The importance attached to you would naturally be different as well.
If he broke through to the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, it would obviously be a cinch for him to defeat the five martial artists. But that way, it would be acknowledging that his talent could only go so far.
Hence, he had always been tolerating other people’s contemptuous look, wishing to pass the Earth Rank Advancement test with half-step Spirit Condensation Realm strength.
The top figures on the Martial Roll of Honor such as Long Tang, Zuo Bugui, and Su Yishan, without exception, all of them passed the Earth Rank Advancement test when they were at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm.
That was to say, these top geniuses already had a battle power surpassing the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm when they were at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!
But he, Lin Tiancheng, was already at the half-step Spirit Condensation Realm, yet he still could not pass the Earth Rank Advancement test. The difference was clear at a glance.
Lin Tiancheng walked out of the Illusionary Spirit Tower looking incomparably dispirited.
He already made the decision that as long as there was the slightest bit of scorn in anyone’s eyes, he would rush over and violently beat him up.
The moment he stepped out of the Illusionary Spirit Tower, Lin Tiancheng swept his fierce gaze over and suddenly became stunned.
There was actually no one looking at him. Everyone’s eyes were fixated on the light screen, with some people watching nervously.
‘ What happened? ‘
Lin Tiancheng also followed everyone’s gaze and looked over at the light screen as well, but he failed to see anything. The light curtain did not have fighting scenes within the Illusionary Spirit Tower. It could only roughly display the conditions of everybody inside.
“What are you all looking at?” Lin Tiancheng casually grabbed someone and asked.
“Ah? It’s Senior Apprentice Brother Lin? Are you already out? We are looking at Ye Yuan. He is taking the Black Rank Advancement Test right now, but it looks like he can’t hold on any longer.” The student did not seem to have too big a reaction to Lin Tiancheng being out.
“What? Black Rank Advancement test? Isn’t that fellow overestimating himself? With his strength, even passing the Yellow Rank Advancement test would be a little forceful. He actually went to take on the Black Rank Advancement test?” Lin Tiancheng was stunned initially, followed by a mocking smile.
That student gave Lin Tiancheng a look, and the expression in his eyes made Lin Tiancheng feel extremely uneasy. Before he reacted, that student opened his mouth again and said, “I’m afraid Senior Apprentice Brother Lin doesn’t know yet, right? Ye Yuan already long passed the Yellow Rank Advancement test! During his Entry Advancement test and Yellow Rank Advancement test, he instantly killed his opponents! Even right now, during his Black Rank Advancement test, he already held on for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!”
“In-instant kill?”
Lin Tiancheng suspected that he heard wrongly. However, that student no longer bothered with him and turned his head back to the light screen.

“Sigh. It looks like there’s no hope for Ye Yuan to create a miracle. But it’s already very impressive to go this far. He is only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. A once in fifty years genius appeared in our State of Qin’s Dan Wu Academy once again.”
As the light representing Ye Yuan on the light screen became increasingly faint, Huyan Yong could not help but feel sorry.
However, immediately afterward, he found himself funny. The power that Ye Yuan displayed was already shocking enough. To let him challenge the Black Rank Advancement test with his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm was truly a little too forced.
After passing the test this time around, Huyan Yong believed that as long as Ye Yuan broke through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, no, just the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm was enough to pass the Black Rank Advancement test!
“Aiya. It’s over, it’s over. Ye Yuan can’t hold on anymore!”
“Sigh. He doesn’t have a chance anymore. Right now, he probably already suffered heavy injuries, right? It was already good enough that he could last until now.”
“Miracles really aren’t so easy to create! However, Ye Yuan is already very impressive. Back then, Senior Apprentice Brother Long Tang only passed the Black Rank Advancement test when he was just about to break through to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm. Ye Yuan is only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm presently!”
“Damn his sister! Your father spent half the day watching, but he still ended up losing.”
As the glow symbolizing Ye Yuan slowly became fainter, the surrounding students started talking about it. Quite a few people felt pity for Ye Yuan’s failure.
Wan Yuan watched the light screen as a trace of a sneer flashed across his mouth. Right here, the one who hoped Ye Yuan would fail the advancement test most of all was him.
“Overestimating himself! To actually dare challenge the Black Rank Advancement test when you just broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Do you think that these tests were just ornamental?”
After watching for so long, Wan Yuan was already aware that Ye Yuan broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. A deep sense of crisis followed the shock.
Now that he saw Ye Yuan was about to fail, that constriction in Wan Yuan’s chest eased up a little.
. . . . . .
At the Illusionary Spirit Tower, the Dream Tapir felt that something was not quite right as he looked at the group battle over there.
Right! Ye Yuan’s defensive radius seemed to have not shrunk for a while now!
What was going on?
Ye Yuan was clearly covered in injuries, but why did not his last line of defensive collapse, and how was he still holding on?
En? He used the sword!
The Dream Tapir suddenly discovered something abnormal. Ever since the Entry Advancement test begun, Ye Yuan had never used that lousy sword!
But now, Ye Yuan actually used the sword!
The Dream Tapir recalled back to the beginning where Ye Yuan chose his weapon leisurely like it did not matter. He thought the sword was just an accessory, and that his true killing move was the Stacking Waves Layered Palm!
The Dream Tapir naturally knew about the Stacking Waves Layered Palm. Ye Yuan was already very heaven-defying to be able to comprehend the Second Layer Wave.
It was precisely because Ye Yuan had comprehended the Second Layer Wave that he could easily pass through the Yellow Rank Advancement Test.
Hence, the Dream Tapir thought that the Stacking Waves Layered Palm was Ye Yuan’s greatest trump card. He never expected Ye Yuan’s sword art to be so superb.
Currently, Ye Yuan was still on the defensive; like a tiny sailboat in a storm. But he still stubbornly held on, and his boat just would not overturn!
The dream tapir even realized that ever s
ince Ye Yuan used the sword, he had not been struck once by the black-clothed martial artists.
The initially flawless sword array was currently showing signs of instability.
Ye Yuan seemed to be able to see through the weakness of the sword array. Although he was forced to be on the defensive, each stance and each strike started to make the entire sword array unstable.
Could it be that this Ye Yuan was also an array expert?
The Dream Tapir felt that his brain was a little incompetent to process this notion.
Ye Yuan naturally would not randomly choose his weapon. He was indeed a sword expert in his past life.
Of course, this so-called expert was only when comparing to the Lower Realms. In the Divine Realm, there were plenty of people who could mutilate him as they liked.
The sword art that Ye Yuan currently using was something that he created during his leisure time while in the Divine Realm. The name of the sword art was Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword.
There was one time when he was talking and drinking with a few friends in a sacred sakura forest. As the skies filled with the falling petals of the sacred sakura flowers, it formed a falling flower rain.
As Ye Yuan watched the flowery scenery, he gained enlightenment and created this sword art, naming it as Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword.
Back then, there was an Extreme Sword Divine King, Kuang Tianming, among his friends. He was a Divine King who used a sword to affirm his Dao; this person had extraordinary accomplishments in the Sword Dao.
After Ye Yuan finished performing the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword, the Extreme Sword Divine King praised it highly.
At that time, Kuang Tianming said, “Brother Qingyun is amazingly talented. Tianming is inferior to you! If this sword art were to be perfected, it would definitely dazzle the Divine Realm in the future. If Brother Qingyun would devote yourself to the Sword Dao, your future accomplishments won’t be inferior to your Alchemy Dao!”
Unfortunately, the Qingyun Zi back then had no interest in the Martial Dao. Creating the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was just because of a moment of interest. After creating it, he threw it aside and never used it again.
Kuang Tianming did not praise the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword because the sword art was really that powerful.
At that time, Qingyun Zi’s cultivation realm was high, but his development in the Martial Dao was very limited. Kuang Tianming meant that if Ye Yuan devoted his thoughts on the Martial Dao and continuously raised his comprehension of the Sword Dao, the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword would become a terrifying sword art.
The sword art was strong, but Ye Yuan current cultivation realm was too low. Without the support of essence energy, he could not even unleash half of the power.
However, the focus of the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was elegance and agility, which happened to pair very well with Ye Yuan’s modified Instant Flash. The power multiplied several times over after combining the two.
Using the Instant Flash together with the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was just enough to defend against the combined attacks of these five people.
These five people’s sword array appeared to be extremely powerful, but in reality, it was full of flaws in Ye Yuan’s eyes. What he needed right now was an opportunity!
And this opportunity finally appeared under the attack of his movement technique and sword art.
These five people did not have corporal forms, so their cooperation was flawless. However, this sword array was too simple. It was a weakness that could not be changed!
Under the sword array, these five people would have a combined attack every dozen moves or so, and the combined attack this time was incredibly powerful. Previously, even though Ye Yuan used his movement technique to avoid the combined attack by the skin of his teeth, he still suffered rather heavy injuries.
But this time around, because of Ye Yuan’s assault, one black-clothed martial artist’s movement slowed by a beat.
Ye Yuan would not let such a good chance slip by. Before the five people’s combined attack arrived, he pushed Instant Flash to the extreme and directly flashed out of the sword array!
These five black-clothed martial artists did not know exhaustion at all. Ye Yuan had just left the encirclement when they retracted their sword momentum, and once again formed the sword array wanting to attack.
Ye Yuan obviously would not give them the chance to enclose him again. At the same time he exited the encirclement, he gathered all the remaining essence energy left in his body and unleashed a palm strike before the five people attacked.
Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Fourth Layer Wave!
Eight times the power exploded out, bringing a palm wind like a fierce gale; sending the five black-clothed martial artists flying.
Ye Yuan knew that this was not over yet, and he gathered the tiny bit of essence energy he had left. With Instant Flash, he moved in front of a black-clothed martial artist and stabbed his heart with one sword strike. That black-clothed martial artist died and vanished after that.
The power of that one palm was indeed great, but the difference in cultivation realm between Ye Yuan and the black-clothed martial artists was too great. So he could only heavily injure them.
Repeating what he did, Ye Yuan gave the other four people one sword strike each, concluding the battle.
After making the final move, Ye Yuan threw the sword aside and dropped his knees on the ground, gasping for air.
The Dream Tapir stood there dumbstruck as he watched on, and he did not dare to believe what just happened in front of his eyes.
“Hey, after passing this round, are you not going to heal my injuries? At this rate, I will die from excessive blood loss. You can’t expect me to challenge the next round like this, right?” Ye Yuan caught his breath and shouted at the dream tapir.

“N-next round?”
The dream tapir was at a complete loss. Ye Yuan actually wanted to challenge the Earth Rank Advancement test?
Oh please, did he make a mistake?
The Black Rank Advancement test was already so forced, yet he still wanted to challenge the Earth Rank Advancement test?
Could it be that this brat was a fool and didn’t know the difference between the Spirit Condensation Realm and the Essence Qi Realm?
This was a major realm!
Ye Yuan gnashed his teeth in pain and sucked in a cold breath, crying out, “F*CK! Quickly heal me! What are you stoning there for?! If you still don’t heal me, I’m going to suicide and complain to the dean about you!”
Black lines appeared on the Dream Tapir’s head. This brat was a masterpiece.
He really did not know if Ye Yuan was a genius or a fool. Why were his words always full of foolishness?
The Dream Tapir was even more senior than the dean. Would the dean dare to bother with him?
He was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh because of Ye Yuan. But he still helped to treat his injuries.
The dream tapir lightly tapped, and Ye Yuan was instantly full of vitality.
Feeling the surging essence energy in his body, Ye Yuan gave a sly smile and said, “Hehe. The dream world is the best. No matter how heavy the injuries, I can also revive.”
At this moment, the dream tapir already recollected himself and looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that wasn’t a smile. He asked, “How did you know this is the dream world? I don’t recall saying that we are in the dream world. Also, do you know what I am?”
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and played possum. “Oh please. You are insulting my intelligence! If this isn’t a dream, then why would I suddenly have a sword out of nowhere? If this isn’t a dream, then why did those martial artists disappear after dying? As for you, aren’t you the examiner? You are still insulting my intelligence! And also, why did you use an underhanded trick just now?! I want to report you!”
The dream tapir kn
ew that Ye Yuan was not being truthful, but he could not be bothered to argue.
No matter what, it was a good thing for the Dan Wu Academy to have one more genius student.
“You really want to challenge the Earth Rank Advancement test?”
“Do you think I’m joking with you?” Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and asked back.
“Good. You have courage. You also felt it just now, the pain that you feel is linked to reality. Although you dying in here doesn’t mean true death, it wouldn’t be pleasant.”
“I say, Lord Examiner, can you stop wasting my time? I’m very busy!” Ye Yuan replied impatiently.
“Fine. As you wish!”
The Dream Tapir gave a faint smile and summoned five black-clothed martial artists once more. Except for this time around, these five black-clothed martial artists were shockingly all at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm!
. . . . . .
Outside the Illusionary Spirit Tower, the crowd was currently seething with excitement.
“How is that possible? Ye Yuan, he really did it!”
“Am I seeing things? Just now, he was clearly on his dying breath. How did he suddenly finish off his opponents?”
“Ye Yuan really created a miracle! He should be the Earth Rank student with the lowest cultivation realm since the establishment of the Dan Wu Academy!”
“And also the one with the greatest talent!”
“Just what on earth happened to that fellow? Could it be that he pretended to be so useless in the past? Unbelievable!”
Many students felt honored to have witnessed a historical moment.
But no matter how they racked their brains, they just could not understand how Ye Yuan improved so quickly. Previously, he was clearly the last place in the academy. But now, he soared to the skies in one move, rising to become an Earth Rank student.
The miracle that happened on Ye Yuan’s body was simply a paragon counterattack!
A change like this would strike a sympathetic chord among many students.
