When the young man finished his training, he stood in the air. Beneath him dozens of disciples knelt, not weak students, but extraordinary talents: the weakest was rank five of the Exalted Realm and the strongest was rank nine of the Exalted Realm. The young man looked at them with indifference. "I will tell you why I gathered you here." "I have a task for all of you." "The examination to enter the Eternal Gate was about to begin." "I tasked you to kill the Inner Gate disciple who would enter the Eternal Gate." "That person was truly insolent; he dared to take my beloved." he said while emitting a murderous intent. The young man’s murderous intent was so terrifying that it made those kneeling shiver; his killing intent alone could freeze the bones. Although the disciples who knelt were trembling with fear, the young man did not withdraw his killing intent, he allowed his murderous will to press down on them. "Young lord, what is the name of the Inner Gate disciple who dared

"Nin Tianlo, you've grown rapidly," Sun Xiang said, staring at the young man with a calm gaze, as if wanting to assess every change that had occurred in his body and aura. "Young Master, this is thanks to the resources provided by Senior Jhi Chen." Nin Tianlo bowed respectfully, his voice lowered, showing deep gratitude. "Good, all of you had broken through to the second rank of the Elevated Realm. Now we wouldn't have too much trouble entering the Immortal Gate." Sun Xiang's gaze swept over the faces before him one by one. His tone remained calm, but every word spoken emphasized how important that achievement was for their group. "Young Master, your cultivation... I couldn't feel your aura," Nin Tianlo said with a slight hesitation, his brow furrowed subtly. Sun Xiang did not answer immediately. He simply let out a short sigh, then released a slight fluctuation of his aura. In an instant, the powerful presence spread. Everyone around him immediately inhaled cold air. Thei

Many Inner Gate disciples who were initially full of enthusiasm to take the Immortal Gate examination suddenly canceled their intention. Whispers of doubt spread among their ranks. The eyes of some were filled with anxiety, pale faces indicating a fear that could not be covered up. They were not really sure of their own strength, so their courage shrank as soon as they heard the elder's explanation about the examination in the wilderness forest. They did not want to risk their lives in a dangerous place, because the opportunity to enter the Immortal Gate did not only come once. There was still a long time to try another day. For them, safety was far more valuable than momentary ambition. One by one they began to retreat, moving away from the ranks, choosing to save themselves. However, not a few looked forward with full confidence. Those faces showed no fear whatsoever. Some had been cultivating courage for a long time, while others had a different reason: they had already establ

Jhi Chen warned his friends with a serious face. "You must be careful. We have been surrounded by enemies. One hundred and fifty people have surrounded us. They consist of fifth-rank and fourth-rank. I even saw two eighth-rank people hiding among them." Those words made all the members of the Salke Division look at each other. Their brows furrowed, confusion mixed with anxiety. "Brother Jhi Chen, didn't the elder say that only fifth-rank people would test us? Why are there two eighth-rank people, and I don't understand why so many people are targeting us?" The question came out with a tone of surprise. Everyone felt that something was wrong, as if this examination was no longer just a regular examination. Jhi Chen took a deep breath, then his voice sounded calm, full of conviction. "I don't know why they are targeting us, but since they have come to make trouble with us, there is only one choice for them: retreat or die." The faces around him became even more tense. One of the

Jhi Chen transformed his hand into a sharp blade. His body movements were so fast, almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. In an instant, his hand pierced the chest of every disciple who held a spear and surrounded him. Short screams were heard before their bodies collapsed. Blood splattered in the air, and thirty fourth-rank people fell together, dying on the spot. The air was instantly filled with the aura of death. The bodies that had just surrounded Jhi Chen were now scattered on the ground, their eyes still wide open, as if unable to believe how their lives were taken so quickly. Meanwhile, the power of stars and lightning energy gathered in Jhi Chen's chest. The wave of energy swirled, then he channeled it into both of his eyes. A terrifying aura radiated out, making the surrounding air tremble. "It just so happens that I have never tested the ferocity of the Eyes of Annihilation technique. Now you can become my experimental material, to feel the power of the Eyes
