Xu Yan directly bypassed the first level of the martial arts platform, completely ignoring the students of the Seven-Star Study Palace standing on it. The martial artists present were taken aback.

Is he really this arrogant?

“Perhaps he thinks his own strength exceeds the third-grade domain, so he wants to challenge across the levels. He’s just like me back in the day. The end result, however, was that he couldn’t even get past the first level.”

A martial artist sighed.

Being youthful and vigorous, it’s understandable. Which prodigy isn’t arrogant?

“Someone else is going to be struck down and not able to bounce back.”

“Haha, yes, it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen a prodigy being struck down to the point of losing his soul.”

Some martial artists gloated over the misfortune.

“Stop!”

The student on the martial arts platform of the Seven-Star Study Palace was somewhat bewildered. Why had another rule-breaking fellow come along?

Among the students recruited by the Seven-Star Study Palace, which one isn’t a prodigy, and which one doesn’t have exceptional talent?

And those who accept the challenge on the martial arts platform are indeed the top performers in their respective domains within the Seven-Star Study Palace.

“What is it?”

Xu Yan asked with a glance.

The student on the martial arts platform was almost mad. Where did this jerk come from? He doesn’t even know the rules of the Seven-Star Study Palace and just comes over to challenge?

And he even ignores him!

“Sir, you’ve come here to enter the library of the Study Palace and read through the martial arts collection, right?”

Qiao Zongye solemnly asked.

“Correct!”

Xu Yan nodded.

“In that case, you have to beat me first before you can continue upwards.”

Qiao Zongye declared.

“You’re too weak, I’ll just go up and issue a challenge.”

Xu Yan shook his head.

Qiao Zongye’s face turned red with anger, he snapped: “I’m too weak? Are you implying that you’re a grandmaster martial artist? Even grandmasters need to challenge one level at a time.”

“I’m not a grandmaster martial artist.”

Xu Yan shook his head: “I’m a martial artist of the Innate Realm.”

Qiao Zongye was stunned, as were all the martial artists present. Innate Realm martial artist?

What kind of realm is that?

Why haven’t I heard of it before?

“What Innate Realm? I’ve never heard of it. Don’t try to deceive us with fancy titles. If you want to continue upwards, you have to defeat me first.”

Qiao Zongye said angrily.

He suspected that the other party was not simply here to pass the test and gain the opportunity to read through the collections, but to provoke the Seven-star Study Palace!

“If that’s the case, then you better be ready.”

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yan concluded that defeating the other party wouldn’t take much effort, it would be a breeze for him.

“Come!”

With his long sword held horizontally in his hand, Qiao Zongye spoke coldly.

“Watch carefully.”

Not even bothering to step onto the martial arts platform, Xu Yan simply flicked his finger and a gust of True Qi shot out.

After making his move, he continued to ascend the steps.

Qiao Zongye was about to yell in fury, but his complexion suddenly changed. He quickly placed his long sword in front of his chest. There was a bang, the long sword vibrated and flew out of his grip. He was sent flying backward and fell to the ground.

There was total silence at the scene!

Defeated Qiao Zongye with a flick of his finger?

A grandmaster martial artist?!

No wonder he is so arrogant, being a grandmaster martial artist at such a young age, indeed he has the credentials to be lofty.

“Who is this prodigy from somewhere else? Could he really be a grandmaster?”

“So arrogant, so fierce, I take back my previous words!”

The onlooking martial artists were shocked.

Xu Yan continued to ascend the steps, while Qiao Zongye, who had fallen on the ground, was red-faced with anger, shouting: “Even if you are a grandmaster, it’s useless, you have to step on the martial arts platform and defeat me to count!”

Seeing that Xu Yan completely ignored him, he was furious: “You are despising my Seven-Star Study Palace!”

Xu Yan couldn’t be bothered with him, a weakling’s roar is of no use. Rules were always set up for the weak.

The strong always exist to break the rules.

“Stop!”

The student on the second-level martial arts platform was also stunned. This guy was really arrogant, disregarding him completely.

Xu Yan flicked his finger, a gust of True Qi shot out, the student on the second level, hurriedly tried to resist, but was immediately sent flying backward.

“You’ve lost.”

Xu Yan glanced at him before continuing upward.

On the third level, Xu Yan didn’t even wait for the other party to speak. He defeated him with a flick of his finger.

The same with the fourth level, he defeated them with a flick of his finger.

He didn’t even step on the martial arts platform.

“The fifth level is a grandmaster martial artist. Now, let’s see how he defeats a grandmaster.”

“It’s going to be a good show. It’s been many years since anyone has passed the fifth level. I wonder if he stands a chance.”

“It’s impossible, no matter if he’s a grandmaster martial artist, he’s too young. The grandmasters of the Seven-star Study Palace, aren’t they all top-class?”

The martial artists who had followed to watch, were voicing their opinions.

Almost no one was optimistic about Xu Yan being able to get past the fifth level.

As Xu Yan ascended the steps, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the steps of the fifth level. He was a man in his thirties, dressed like a scholar, and looked refined.

“Young friend, by not even stepping onto the martial arts platform, are you implying that you look down on the strength of the students of my Seven-Star Study Palace?”

Cheng Yuanhong spoke with a smile.

Xu Yan nodded: “That’s correct, their strength is too poor, I’m not even interested in stepping on the platform.”

The martial artists and students of the Seven-Star Study Palace were all stunned. Wasn’t he being too blunt?

He’s completely looking down on the Seven-Star Study Palace.

Who in the world doesn’t know that the students of the Seven-Star Study Palace who guard the platforms are the best of their domains?

Cheng Yuanhong also put away his smile, his expression becoming serious: “According to the rules, even if a grandmaster comes, he must step onto the platform and compete to defeat the one who guards the platform with his ability at the same realm.

“Young friend, I can understand your youthful energy since you have come here. As long you defeat me, then the matter of not following the rules will be wiped clean!”
