Chapter 115: Chapter 107 Message of the Relic from the Chaotic Heaven Gate

Shen Ye jogged away from the playground.

Immediately, a soldier came to check his token and led him towards the barracks.

"A disciple from the Hun Tian Sect? That's rare. I've heard that you seldom appear in the world, so it's quite a privilege to see you this time."

The soldier looked at him with admiration.

Soldiers passing by all showed him friendly and sincere smiles.

Shen Ye felt uncertain, so he didn't continue the conversation.

The soldier brought him to a row of barracks, picked a room with the code 'Jia Zi,' and opened the door.

"Conditions in the barracks are hard, and we've only been able to gather these few things temporarily for you, Brother Shen. Please bear with them," the soldier said.

"Not at all, this is already very good," Shen Ye hurriedly replied.

"Then you rest. Officer Wu said that you can join the gathering tonight if you want, or you can ignore everything outside and have a good sleep," the soldier said.

"Okay, thank you!"

The soldier closed the door and left.

Shen Ye stood in the center of the room, holding his breath for a moment.

It seems...

There's no test at all...

On the table, there were several kinds of snacks, next to them was steaming hot tea, and beside it was a heavy letter.

Opening the envelope, he found neatly stacked silver.

A note was left on the table:

"Please help yourself to use."

A brand new set of armor hung on the wall.

Shen Ye silently looked at the silver and then at the armor.

A line of glowing small characters appeared beside the armor:

"Fish Pattern Bright Armor."

"Green (Excellent)."

"Provides good defensive capabilities, and to some extent can guard against elemental attacks while combating physical attacks."

"— The general's standard armor of the current age."

Shen Ye turned around and pushed open the door behind him.

He saw a bamboo forest in the courtyard, lush and green, with a small martial arts training ground in the middle, and a hot spring steaming with white mist in the corner.

Hiss—

This test has something to it!

It's better to test if this examination is real or fake rather than standing around doing nothing!

Shen Ye stripped off his dirty leather armor and clothes and "plopped" into the hot spring.

Warm!

Comfortable all over!

After waiting for a while, still, no one came to scold him.

This test is acceptable.

I want it again next time.

Shen Ye leaned back in the water, letting out a comfortable sigh.

— Only at this moment did the suppression by the noble clans, the terrifying bet imposed by the Master of the Weeping Demon Prison, and the lethal strike from the Human Figure on the platform, dissipate like bubbles.

The joy of winning finally surged in his heart.

No, I can't get too lax!

Shen Ye splashed his face with water, silently motivating himself, when suddenly a series of bugle calls came faintly from the parade ground outside.

The voices of Nangong Sirui and Guo Yunye were clear and audible.

It seemed they were doing sprinting drills.

Shen Ye listened for a while and gradually discerned what was happening.

It appeared that Guo Yunye was challenging Nangong Sirui's status, with both of their voices loud and neither willing to submit to the other.

Don't they get tired?

Shen Ye dived underwater and stayed there for a while before coming up.

Um...

This feels even better.

Shen Ye reached out and pulled the Newcomer Card from the clothes beside the water.

On the card flashed several lines of small print:

"The exam is over, and all examinee information has been updated!"

"You have joined Xi Rang High School and have the qualification of a True Disciple of the Ancient Hun Tian Sect."

"The representative color of Xi Rang High School is gold, and the Hun Tian Sect is known for its Flying Dragon mounts, hence your card's design has also changed."

— The card surface was inlaid with gold lines and the faint dancing scales of flying dragons could be seen. The overall appearance of the card was much stronger than before!

Shen Ye flipped the card over to the front.

On the card, behind him was still a pale moon, but the surrounding scenery had changed.

Under the bright moonlight, his hands flickered with Thunder Light, his feet were atop swirls of Frost, standing proudly on the shoulder of a giant statue.

The statue's features were indistinct, revealing only a human figure's outline.

But etched in the void were two large characters:

"Hun Tian."

A line of flamboyant characters fell beside him:

"Kill a person within ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles."

"— Hun Tian Authentic Disciple!"

The deep sky began to reveal one star after another.

A total of Six Stars.

"Shen Ye."

"Martial Arts Group selection student, Hun Tian Authentic Disciple (recognized by the Dharma Realm), Xi Rang High School freshman."

"Strength Level: Six Stars."

"Xi Rang High School freshman."

"Evaluation: A talented newcomer who has become a True Disciple of the Hun Tian Sect in one fell swoop. However, the Hun Tian Sect has long since vanished into the annals of time. What he can obtain and to what extent he can grow is worth looking forward to."

Huh?

There are no rankings anymore?

What's going on with Xiao Mengyu?

"Let's look at the leaderboard," Shen Ye said.

The leaderboard instantly appeared.

Surprisingly, there were no longer any rankings on the leaderboard now.

Instead, there were two lines of red characters:

"You have become a reserve student of the Three Great High Schools and have henceforth left the Newcomer list."

"The list of candidates preparing to join the Three Great High Schools, please wait."

The ranking could not be displayed, but the card information of Nangong Sirui and Xiao Mengyu was still accessible.

"Display Nangong Sirui's card."

Shen Ye said.

The image of Nangong Sirui instantly materialized on the back of the card.

This rank one individual sat high on his throne surrounded by a pile of various types of weapons, armor, and precious treasures.

Shen Ye noticed that the card's evaluation of him had also changed:

"Nangong Sirui."

"Eldest son of this generation's Nangong Family, heir of the ancestral lineage."

"Strength Level: Six Stars."

"Newcomer at Xi Rang High School."

"Undisputed top candidate of the year, with the strongest talent and combat abilities, and the additional support of his family's full resources and endless treasures, he is unmatched."

Hiss—

Endless treasures and resources?

That truly is unmatched.

What about Xiao Mengyu?

The card changed, and Xiao Mengyu's image leapt onto it.

"Xiao Mengyu."

"Member of the Luo Family."

"Strength Level: Six Stars."

"Newcomer at Xi Rang High School."

"Official card, the best in swordsmanship among all candidates, also the top performer in the examination, and publicly acknowledged by the Divine Sword Luoshui, her strength is not to be underestimated."

—So rankings are deduced based on performance, as well as on the basis of weapons and heritage.

On the original list, the third place was now occupied by a girl I had never seen before.

A freshman from the Azure Academy.

Shen Ye lost interest and put the card away.

Regardless of how the Tower of Tarot evaluated him, he indeed did not have many treasures.

If he faced Nangong Sirui, indeed…

It would be somewhat difficult.

Suddenly, a voice rang out:

"Do you mind being outdone?" seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The big skeleton.

It seemed to be paying attention to what was happening outside.

"Hmph, they've been training for over a decade, I've only been training for this short period, it's normal that I can't beat them yet," Shen Ye casually shook his head.

"Is that so? That guy is always comparing himself with you," the big skeleton said.

"You can tell that?" Shen Ye said, surprised.

"Any idiot could see that—also, aren't you bothered by being bested by such a despicable androgynous, self-righteous person with an eminently punchable face?" the big skeleton said.

"It's fine, I'm not bothered by it," Shen Ye said with a smile.

"Okay, then I can rest easy. There's nothing much to do now, I'm going to take a nap," the big skeleton said.

"Go ahead."

The conversation ended.

A few minutes passed.

Shen Ye got out of the water, dried himself, got dressed, and returned to the room.

"Rest..."

He silently recited to himself.

Truth be told, he was quite tired from the day, and it was time to rest.

But the thought of Nangong Sirui's provocations—

"Eh? What are you doing?" the big skeleton's surprised voice rang out.

"The soak just now was very comfortable, and since I'm free now, why not practice some techniques?" Shen Ye said with a smile.

"Aren't you tired?" the big skeleton asked curiously.

"Sure, but I just had a hot spring bath, a little activity—mixing work with leisure," Shen Ye said.

"Suit yourself, but I'm taking a rest for a while," the big skeleton grumbled and then fell silent.

Shen Ye took his stance in the courtyard and began to practice the Frosty Moon Shocking Sky.

If you're not satisfied, practice!

I'll keep practicing until I elevate the skill level!

After practicing for a while, Shen Ye suddenly remembered something.

'Thunder Palm Essentials' had only reached a Minor Accomplishment with him and not Peak Mastery.

Because reaching that level required at least 15 Comprehension points.

Even with all the free attribute points, that wasn't enough at that time.

But now it was different—

He had 10 Comprehension points, and with an additional 10 free attribute points, he far surpassed the requirement of 15 points.

This was enough to comprehend the Peak Mastery Level of Thunder Palm!

No time like the present!

Shen Ye allocated all his free attribute points to Comprehension and began to immerse himself in understanding Thunder Palm.

All of a sudden, every move of 'Thunder Palm Essentials' resurfaced in his mind.

But this time, his understanding of Thunder Palm was entirely different.

Previously, the techniques were mere movements to him.

But now—

Each move was thoroughly dismantled, every method of execution was broken down and reassembled into a brand new, tremendously powerful Thunder Attribute Palm Technique.

Shen Ye spread his hands and drew a circle in mid-air.

Two streaks of Thunder Light followed the tips of his fingers, materializing in the void, smooth and silent, possessing both the ferocity of thunder and a tranquility that thunder did not have.

Shen Ye reached out and slapped the center of the Thunder Light—

Amidst the noisy interweaving of electric currents, a palm formed entirely of lightning, over two meters tall, shot out and soared into the sky.

—Peak Mastery!

The power was incomparable to before!

Rows of tiny glowing letters then appeared in the void:

"Your Thunder Shock Palm has officially advanced to the First Layer of the Dharma Realm."

"Please note:"

"As you are in the Dharma Realm and a disciple of the Hun Tian Sect, you have triggered the Dharma Realm inherited power from the Under the Moon Series."

"From now on, once your Frost Bite, Heavenly Shadow, and Flowing Moon all advance to the First Layer of the Dharma Realm, you will receive information about the relics of the Hun Tian Sect's Dharma Realm!"
