Chapter 2580: Bursting the Whole Place with Laughter!

"Now, any more questions? If not, let's continue!" the protector said indifferently.

What questions could there be?

Having been defeated by someone across realms, any further questions would be nothing but unreasonable fuss.

In the crowd, Ye Yuan was also slightly surprised.

That Yun Qing's strength was indeed beyond words.

If they were at the same realm, Ye Yuan would have to exert some effort to defeat him.

Of course, now that Ye Yuan had broken through to the Upper Minor Extreme Heaven, defeating him would be effortless.

But he also realized that the quality of aptitude didn't seem to have much to do with cultivation level.

With no objections, the subsequent tests went much more smoothly.

However, nearly a hundred people went up in a row, and only a handful passed the test.

This ratio dealt a heavy blow to everyone.

The aptitudes detected by the formation were mostly mid-low or low-high.

Even mid-mid was rare.

"Cheng Qian, innate third-grade Thunder Spirit Dao Body, aptitude high-low, affinity thirty-five points, pass!" the protector suddenly announced loudly.

The sudden appearance of a high-grade aptitude caused an uproar in the crowd.

Even the protectors on the viewing platform could no longer contain themselves.

An innate Dao Body differed from an acquired one, cultivating at an extremely fast speed and comprehending laws far better than the acquired.

In the end, Cheng Qian was taken as a disciple by a Purple-Winged Protector and directly became an inner disciple.

This scene also stirred envy among many ascendants.

Later, more and more disciples passed, and among them appeared a mid-high aptitude with a fourth-grade innate Dao Body, sparking a scramble.

"Mu Yun, innate... fifth-grade Five Elements Dao Body, aptitude... high-high! Affinity... sixty points!" The protector looked at the light screen, momentarily dazed.

He hadn't expected such an extraordinary disciple to appear!

This time, none of the protectors on the viewing platform came forward to claim him.

Because they all knew that this Mu Yun was no longer theirs!

Mu Yun looked at the light screen, a hint of pride appearing on his face.

In the lower realm, he had swept through everything and reached the Heavenly Position.

Now, he still stood above the crowd!

"Mu Yun, come to my side! I will report your aptitude to the sect leader!" the protector said.

"Yes!" Mu Yun responded and stood beside the protector, looking down at the ascendants below.

At this moment, he had soared to the skies!

Those below were all ants!

The ascendants, looking up at Mu Yun, felt a sense of inferiority.

"Next!" the protector said.

"Let me give it a try." Ye Yuan suddenly stepped forward.

"It's him! The master of the Little Cloud Villa!"

"I'm really curious. The one who messed with the top three inner disciples—what's his aptitude like?"

"Being able to live in the Little Cloud Villa, his status is extraordinary! I heard he was personally guided by Lord Luo Yunqing! I guess at least mid-high aptitude!"

...

As soon as Ye Yuan appeared, it caused a huge commotion.

Even the protector was somewhat baffled.

They rarely concerned themselves with conflicts among disciples.

As long as no lives were lost, they generally didn't intervene.

So he didn't know why Ye Yuan's appearance caused such a stir.

"Brother Mo, if he doesn't pass the test, I want him executed!" Lu Zhanyuan suddenly came to the protector's side and said.

Lu Zhanyuan was a personal disciple of an elder of the Jade Emperor Heaven, so he and Protector Mo were of the same generation, addressing each other as fellow disciples.

Protector Mo looked at Lu Zhanyuan with some surprise. Seeing the murderous look in Lu Zhanyuan's eyes, he understood something.

He nodded and said, "Agreed!"

These words were not meant to avoid the Ascenders.

Everyone heard them.

Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes, a chill glinting in his gaze.

What had happened before was merely a conflict of pride.

When Ye Yuan had Lin Lan act, he had held back.

But now, Lu Zhanyuan's blatant intention to kill him changed the nature of things.

Lu Zhanyuan looked at Ye Yuan and sneered, "Kid, you'd better pray your talent is good enough! Otherwise, the humiliation you've brought me will have to be repaid with your death!"

Yao Qing's face changed drastically upon hearing this. He cupped his hands to Protector Mo and said, "Protector Mo, Ye Yuan was personally brought here by Lord Luo!"

Protector Mo's expression shifted, but then he shook his head and said, "Brother Luo probably just did it casually, nothing serious! A mere Minor Extreme Heaven rank isn't enough to make him take it seriously. If he doesn't enter the sect, Junior Brother Lu isn't bound by sect rules, so killing is naturally permissible!"

"This..." Yao Qing was left speechless.

Protector Mo looked at Ye Yuan and said flatly, "If you don't want to die, then pray that your talent is sufficient."

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "He wants to kill me, but what if I kill him?"

Protector Mo's gaze sharpened, and he laughed derisively, "That joke isn't funny at all!"

"He wasn't joking! I... am no match for him! But this guy is too despicable—he used poison against me, impossible to guard against!" Lu Zhanyuan's face reddened as he argued.

Protector Mo was taken aback, thinking, how strong could the poison of a Minor Extreme Heaven rank be?

Lu Zhanyuan said viciously, "So I specially invited Senior Brother Han to act on my behalf!"

The Senior Brother Han that Lu Zhanyuan mentioned was a Red-Winged Protector and Lu Zhanyuan's fellow disciple.

Protector Mo grew somewhat curious about what was so special about Ye Yuan.

"Regardless, let's wait until he passes the formation!" Protector Mo said.

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and stepped into the formation.

Ten breaths later, Ye Yuan emerged from the formation.

Soon, his talent was displayed on the light screen.

Then, the entire venue fell into dead silence.

Ye Yuan looked at the characters on the light screen and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sure enough, it was exactly as he had expected!

Dao body: None.

Talent: Lowest.

Affinity: Four points.

Dao body, talent, affinity—each one was the worst in the entire venue.

Without a doubt!

So bad it was appalling!

The others, even the worst, were at least lower-middle.

But he was of the lowest talent!

In fact, Ye Yuan had mentally prepared himself beforehand.

His background was simply too poor!

Suddenly, a burst of explosive laughter erupted from the crowd.

Many people were even laughing to the point of tears.

"Pfft! Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter! This is killing me! This guy, he's... he's actually this bad! I never thought Senior Brother Luo could misjudge someone like this!" Lu Zhanyuan burst out laughing at the sight.

He was rocking with laughter, tears streaming down his face.

This talent was truly the worst in history!

Earlier, he had worried that since Luo Yunqing valued Ye Yuan, his talent probably wouldn't be an issue.

But now, it wasn't a question of meeting the standard, but of how ridiculous it was.

"I'm dying of laughter! I never thought there could be a cultivator with such terrible talent among the ascendants!"

"Hahaha... And here I thought he was a hidden master, but he's actually this bad!"

"This guy was putting on an act of mystery, probably just afraid of embarrassing himself, right? This talent is truly something else!"

...

Even the ascendants who had been eliminated were mocking Ye Yuan relentlessly.

A talent like his was simply not on the same level as theirs!
