Jerom’s laughter still echoed through the room as he quickly pulled out his phone. His hands were still trembling slightly… but this time, not from fear—rather from the last shred of hope he was desperately clinging to.

The call connected.

And the atmosphere fell silent once more.

Everyone held their breath.

A few seconds passed, yet they felt like long minutes.

Then…

Click.

The call was answered.

“What?” The voice on the other end was heavy—deep, and filled with pressure.

Jerom spoke immediate

    Alex did not look back at all, let much respond to Han Zo’s words. Behind the hood of his black robe, a faint smile loaded with irony was carved onto his face. "With my current cultivation realm, it really feels trivial... But as for dealing with you, I am truly just too lazy," Alex muttered calmly. With steps that remained relaxed and composed, Alex began to walk down from the jade altar, completely ignoring the cynical glares that kept piercing his back. "What a thick-skinned fellow! Having been humiliated in front of the entire sect's members, he can still walk as if nothing happened!" sneered one of the core disciples with a disgusted snort. "A total disgrace! If I were him, I would definitely shut myself in my room for ten years straight!" However, right when the wave of ridicule reached its peak, a profoundly pure and chilly spiritual energy pressure suddenly descended from the sky of the plaza, completely sweeping away the noisy and suffocating atmosphere around the Detect

    Hearing the super casual response that came from behind the hood of Alex’s black robe, Han Zo’s jaw instantly clenched so hard that it made a faint grinding sound. His eyes widened, filled with utter disbelief mixed with immense fury. "W-Where did this Wei Zhong get such courage?!" "Damn, isn't this a direct provocation?!" Hearing those whispers, Han Zo's face turned even redder with rage! "You... you impudent rogue!" Han Zo hissed, his voice trembling as he held back an anger that was on the verge of exploding. Wuuuuush! The deep blue Qi around his body swirled wildly like a small hurricane, forcing the surrounding disciples to take a few steps back under the suffocating pressure. "Beat me up? Dream on all you want, Wei Zhong! Let's see if that big mouth of yours can save you later!" Kraaack! With an emotional stomp of his foot that triggered hairline cracks on the plaza floor, Han Zo turned around and strode wide through the crowd toward the Detection Altar. He needed to v

    Han Zo awaited a reaction from the youth before him. As a genius disciple ranked in the top five of the core disciple list, his words usually carried the weight of thousands of catties to other disciples. A challenge or warning from him should have triggered a wave of emotion—whether it was fear, excitement, or a wounded pride.Yet, before Han Zo, Alex remained completely silent.Beneath the hood of his black robe, Alex did not even nod or shake his head. His hidden eyes stared at Han Zo with absolute, flat indifference.Being given the silent treatment once again, Han Zo's jaw instantly tightened. The ripples of deep blue Qi around his body surged violently, signaling a sudden outburst of rage within his chest. As a talented cultivator, being blatantly ignored by someone considered a "parasite" by the entire faction was a massive insult."You..." Han Zo clenched his fists, his cold aura sharpening, preparing to pressure Alex even further.BOOOOOOM!Before Han Zo's anger could explode

    The explosion of spiritual energy that marked Ling Yun’s success gradually subsided, leaving behind ripples of turquoise Qi that spun steadily around her body.*Up on the wooden floor, Alex, who was observing using the Eyes of God, smiled faintly upon seeing that the gateway to the Earth Deity Realm within the girl had been opened with an exceptionally solid foundation."Good job," Alex murmured softly, then disconnected his Soul Consciousness, letting his eye color return to normal.In the underground chamber, Ling Yun briefly cast her gaze around the silent room. She tried to search for any trace of the majestic voice that had just guided her soul, but it was in vain. There was no sign of anyone else’s presence. That mysterious consciousness had evaporated without a trace, leaving her body brimming with an abundant new power.‘Whichever senior it was that helped me... I will never forget this favor,’ Ling Yun thought with deep reverence.Feeling the pure earth deity energy flowing

    Shi Nian let out a sharp, slightly high-pitched shriek. Her entire body froze, refusing to turn around as a sudden, paralyzing fear breached her defenses. However, instead of taking any aggressive action or retaliating against the insult, Alex released his oppressive aura in an instant. Woosh! He took a single step back, sliding both hands into his robe pockets with an utterly casual movement, and let out a short exhale as if he had just wasted his time on something trivial. Without another thought, Alex completely ignored Ling Yun's friend. He turned on his heel and walked right past Shi Nian without so much as a backward glance, treating the elite faction's core disciple as nothing more than a passing night breeze. Finding herself so blatantly slighted by his cold indifference, Shi Nian's ego flared violently. Her fear instantly morphed into a burning rage. Her face flushed crimson with a mixture of embarrassment and fury. "Wei Zhong! How dare you act like such a bastard in s

    Alex, hiding behind his disguise as Wei Zhong, subtly raised an eyebrow. A playful smirk played on his lips as he witnessed the girl's protectiveness. "Oh? Sleeping in your bed, Sister Ling?" Alex teased, his voice dropping to a low, deliberate murmur as he took a step closer. "I had no idea your protection extended to such... intimate services. Are you sure you won't regret inviting a man into your room?" Hearing his sudden flirtation, Ling Yun's ice-cold defense crumbled instantly. A crimson blush rapidly spread across her cheeks. Caught completely off guard, her eyes blinked in panic as she instinctively took a step back. "W-What are you talking about?!" Ling Yun stammered, raising her voice in a desperate attempt to mask her embarrassment. "Don't get any stray ideas! I meant that for the next three days, I will be going down to the underground meditation room for intensive training before the tournament! Therefore, you are free to use my residence and this bed." She averted
