Chapter 1750: Room Number Six of the Heavenly Character

"Eh, a newcomer has arrived. Holy crap, they assigned him to Room Number Six of the Heavenly Character. How much do they hate him!"

"Last time a kid went into Room Number Six, the next day he was burned to charcoal, crying and begging to go home. We had a good laugh."

"Hehe, another show to watch. Let's go check it out."

...

Entering the room, three gazes shot toward Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan looked at them and smiled, "Hello, I'm new here. My name is Ye Yuan."

No one acknowledged him; their looks were unfriendly.

Ye Yuan naturally didn't mind and walked to an empty spot.

Just then, a burly man sitting on the bed spoke up.

"Who allowed you to sleep there?"

Ye Yuan smiled at this, "If not here, where should I sleep?"

The man gestured with his chin toward the door, "In the hallway!"

Ye Yuan understood clearly; these guys were obviously trying to intimidate him.

But he, Ye Yuan, was not so easily bullied.

He nodded and said, "That place? Not bad indeed!"

Seeing Ye Yuan so "cooperative," the man grinned, "Since you know it's good, why not scram over there? This dorm is under Senior Brother Hu Feng's rule. Only when he allows you in can you enter."

Ye Yuan's gaze fell on a lazy young man lying on the bed.

From his attire, he should be a senior priest apprentice of the temple.

The Priest Temple recruited priest apprentices once every ten years. Although few passed each time, over the years, there were still many priest apprentices.

According to temple regulations, only those who passed the priest assessment within a thousand years could stay in the temple.

As for those who could never pass, they would be assigned by the temple to various royal cities or other places.

In short, they could no longer remain in the temple.

This Hu Feng was probably an old hand here.

Hearing the man's words, Ye Yuan said calmly, "So nice, better let you senior brothers stay there. As a newcomer, I'll humble myself and stay inside."

Hu Feng sneered at Ye Yuan's words.

By now, many people had gathered outside, excited at the scene.

"Ha, this kid is indeed a greenhorn. Tie Zhao's hot temper is about to explode, right?"

"This kid will probably be burned to charcoal too! Tie Zhao's fire control, except for Hu Feng, no one can suppress him!"

The burly man named Tie Zhao was taken aback, then fumed, "A newly initiated junior priest apprentice dares to mess with me? Hey, if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how deep the waters are in the temple!"

With that, he urged his palm, and a dark blue flame turned into a fire snake, shooting toward Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan sighed inwardly; this guy really didn't know his place, playing with fire in front of the ancestor of fire-players.

Wasn't that asking for a beating?

Ye Yuan casually grabbed, and the fire snake was caught in his palm.

He turned his palm, and the fire snake danced joyfully.

As if this divine fire were his own.

Hu Feng's half-closed eyes snapped open, filled with shock.

He knew Tie Zhao's fire control well; ordinary people were no match.

Yet now, this kid had easily neutralized it.

Tie Zhao himself stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous.

With that casual grab, Ye Yuan had taken control of the divine fire!

"Not so impressive!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

"Boss, this kid is no pushover!" Tie Zhao said gravely.

Hu Feng snorted, "In Room Number Six of the Heavenly Character, even a dragon must coil! Attack!"

At his command, three fire dragons from three directions flew toward Ye Yuan, the room's temperature soaring.

Hu Feng's fire control was especially formidable; his fire dragon was far stronger than the other two's.

Ye Yuan's expression changed; he quickly formed hand seals, barely blocking the three fire dragons alone.

Seeing Ye Yuan struggling, Hu Feng sneered, "I thought you had three heads and six arms, but you still submit? Kid, I've changed my mind. Tonight, you sleep in the latrine!"

Tie Zhao laughed, "Kid, messing with Boss Hu, you're asking for it! But forcing Boss Hu to act personally, you can be proud."

Ye Yuan suddenly grinned, looking relaxed, "I was just letting you win. Don't take it seriously. You can go sleep in the latrine yourselves."

With that, his fingers moved swiftly, and the three fire dragons turned around, charging at their masters!

Hu Feng and the others were just gloating, but their expressions changed drastically.

They tried to flee but were too late.

Boom!

Three figures turned into three charcoals.

From head to toe, they were pitch black, only their eyes blinking.

Residual heat lingered, smoke rising from their heads like roasted ducks.

"How is this possible? Senior Brother Hu Feng lost in fire dueling!"

"Not just lost; their own divine fire was controlled by someone else!"

"Who is this kid? He defeated three alone!"

...

Gasps of shock erupted outside, stunned by the scene.

Hu Feng's fire control was among the best of all priest apprentices.

Today, he had lost to a newcomer!

Pfft!

Hu Feng spat out a puff of smoke and roared, "Get him! Tear this kid apart!"

Ye Yuan hadn't struck hard, just left them disheveled and singed all their body hair.

Now, Hu Feng was furious.

At his command, the three pounced like wolves.

Ye Yuan sneered, "Fire dueling fails, so you resort to force? Too bad, you've miscalculated!"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With three loud thuds, the three figures flew back, crashing into the room and making a mess.

This time, everyone was dumbfounded.

These three—Hu Feng was late fourth stage, the other two peak mid fourth stage.

Such a lineup couldn't even withstand one move from Ye Yuan!

Ye Yuan looked at them coldly, "You three, know what to do?"

"Y-yes! We... we'll sleep in the latrine!" Hu Feng said miserably.

His face was pitch black, expression unreadable.

But it was clear his expression was awful.

"Then why aren't you moving? Do I need to escort you?" Ye Yuan said calmly.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The three said in unison, scrambling out the door and running toward the latrine.

Watching their pathetic backs, everyone was stunned.

"Holy crap, I guessed the beginning but not the ending."

"Who would have thought domineering Hu Feng would have such a day?"

"This newcomer is amazing, crushing them in both alchemy and martial arts!"
