Chapter 184 The Welcoming Envoy

"Hahaha, you finally admitted it! Ye Yuan, do you really think I dare not kill you?" Su Yubai laughed in fury.

"Heh, if you kill me, you won't escape either, right? When the Nethercloud Sect blames you, it won't be a joke. Don't you want to think it over?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Blame? You're overthinking! Die!"

Even as Su Yubai spoke, he suddenly erupted, striking a palm at Ye Yuan!

Heaven-Overturning Palm!

The same move, executed by Su Yishan and Su Yubai, was worlds apart!

Yet this palm strike missed.

Su Yubai only felt his vision blur, and nine Ye Yuans appeared at once! And he couldn't tell which was the real Ye Yuan!

Then, Su Yubai passed straight through an afterimage. When he turned back, Ye Yuan was still standing in the same spot, as if he had never moved.

Su Yubai and Hu Yanyong both showed shock on their faces. When had Ye Yuan learned such a powerful and bizarre movement technique?

Hu Yanyong hadn't expected Su Yubai to actually make a move inside the academy, and in his momentary carelessness, it was too late to defend.

But he never imagined that Ye Yuan would evade Su Yubai's attack so easily!

"You've actually broken through to Liquid Realm Layer 2!" Su Yubai said in disbelief.

Ye Yuan had entered the Boundless Forest for less than a month and had directly broken through to Liquid Realm Layer 2.

This speed...

"Heh, thanks to Elder Su's blessing, I managed to break through by luck."

Su Yubai's face darkened. Ye Yuan's mouth was truly infuriating! Whose blessing could he not have mentioned, but had to mention Su Yubai's?

Wasn't this just to spite him?

"By the way, Elder Su, do you still remember what I said? I wasn't joking, you know! Maybe it won't even take a year!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Su Yubai's expression changed upon hearing this. With Ye Yuan's rate of progress, maybe it really wouldn't take a year!

Although Ye Yuan's words had once made him a laughingstock at the Danwu Academy, he had never taken them seriously.

But now, he suddenly realized that Ye Yuan really didn't seem to be joking; he truly had this ability!

"Hmph! That depends on whether you live to see that year! Ye Hang is about to fall. Do you think you still have a chance?" Su Yubai sneered.

"Is that so? I think it's better for Elder Su to come flaunt his power in front of me after my father falls. Otherwise, you'll end up getting slapped in the face again. Although your face is already battered, I don't mind battering it a bit more." Ye Yuan said calmly.

"You!" Su Yubai nearly choked to death.

Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered with Su Yubai, turned around, and left with Hu Yanyong. Watching Ye Yuan's back, Su Yubai's eyes nearly spat fire.

But Ye Yuan had already grown to such a level, and with Hu Yanyong by his side, he simply couldn't keep Ye Yuan here!

Although the Su family was very powerful, it wasn't strong enough to dominate the Danwu Academy.

...

"Ye Yuan, I never expected that after participating in the Boundless Trial, you'd come back reborn! That move just now, even if I faced it, I'd be helpless!" Hu Yanyong exclaimed in admiration.

Hu Yanyong felt that Ye Yuan had not only improved in realm but had also become much stronger in strength.

Although he was only at Liquid Realm Layer 2 now, his strength was probably not inferior to Long Tang's!

After all, Long Tang had broken through two levels in this past month, reaching Liquid Realm Layer 5!

Hu Yanyong vaguely looked forward to the duel between these two top geniuses of the Qin State Danwu Academy.

"Heh, I've gained a little something." Ye Yuan didn't want to say much, so he was vague.

Speaking of which, his biggest gain from this trip to the Boundless Forest was the Medicine Soul Spirit Canon. But in the short term, he couldn't comprehend those golden characters, so the Medicine Soul Spirit Canon was of no use to Ye Yuan for now.

The two walked side by side and soon arrived at Jiang Yunhe's residence.

"Dean, Ye Yuan is back. I've brought him to see you." Hu Yanyong said respectfully outside the door.

"Come in."

Hu Yanyong and Ye Yuan pushed the door open and entered. As soon as they entered, they found others in the room.

An old man sat opposite Jiang Yunhe, giving off an unfathomable feeling. Beside the old man stood a young man, about eighteen or nineteen, yet already at Liquid Realm Layer 8.

Having such strength at this age would make him stand out at the Danwu Academy! Even Long Tang couldn't compare.

"Haha, Ye Yuan, what a coincidence! I was just about to send for you and Long Tang, but you've come first. Come quickly and pay respects to the Welcoming Envoy, Lord Yao Qian!" Jiang Yunhe laughed heartily as soon as he saw Ye Yuan.

Clearly, Jiang Yunhe already knew that Ye Yuan had returned to the academy.

"Junior Ye Yuan pays respects to Lord Yao Qian!" Ye Yuan said nothing more and bowed to Yao Qian.

"Academy instructor Hu Yanyong pays respects to Lord Welcoming Envoy!" Hu Yanyong's expression changed upon hearing this, and he stepped forward respectfully to bow.

Yao Qian glanced faintly at Ye Yuan and said, "Mm, so you're the student who passed the Nine Heavens Path at the Yuan Qi Realm?"

"It is this junior." Ye Yuan said.

For some reason, Ye Yuan felt that the Welcoming Envoy's gaze at him was strange, as if he didn't like him much.

This old man should be from the Nethercloud Sect. He didn't seem to know him at all, did he?

Ye Yuan couldn't figure out how he had offended this old man.

Also, the young man beside the old man looked at him with disdain.

How inexplicable!

"Heh, the young man beside Lord Yao Qian is his prized disciple, Yang Hao. Don't let his youth fool you; not only has he reached Liquid Realm Layer 8 in martial arts, but he is also a high-level alchemist—a genius even stronger than your Teacher Feng! He will be your and Long Tang's senior brother from now on. Get to know each other." Jiang Yunhe praised.

After being praised by Jiang Yunhe, Yang Hao showed a hint of pride on his face, but he concealed it well.

Ye Yuan saw this, however, and felt contempt in his heart. With such a mindset, no matter how high his realm, it was useless.

It seemed that people from the sect always felt superior when they came to the mortal world.

Ye Yuan couldn't help but glance at Hu Yanyong. Seeing that he had no reaction, as if it were only natural, Ye Yuan sighed inwardly.

But Ye Yuan held such an attitude in great contempt. Listening to Jiang Yunhe's introduction, his face was calm, but he was sneering inwardly.

Was this considered a genius? When had geniuses become so cheap?

However, in front of Jiang Yunhe, Ye Yuan naturally wouldn't show anything. He just cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Yang. When I enter the sect in the future, I hope Senior Brother Yang will take care of me."

Ye Yuan's courtesy was already quite thorough, but unexpectedly, Yang Hao said indifferently, "Heh, Junior Brother Ye is known as the number one in a millennium. How could he need care from a mediocrity like me?"
