The assessment location was right outside the gate of the Divine Sword Sect. When Bai Yan followed the two monks and arrived here, it was already teeming with noise and excitement.

Looking around, there was a sea of people with no end in sight.

"See that? This is the foundation of our Divine Sword Sect. If I had not missed the assessment time a hundred years ago, I would probably already be a legendary Great Cultivator now!"

The chubby monk, with his flabby chest quivering, said proudly.

It was as though he had already passed the assessment and become a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect.

However, what he got in return was nothing but contemptuous looks from the surrounding monks. The fatso had little skill, but his boasting was top-notch.

"In this day and age, with the forest so big, all kinds of birds are present. Can't he take a piss and look at himself in the mirror? The Divine Sword Sect is not for trash like this to join!"

While the chubby monk was busy bragging, the crowded people suddenly made way for a path, and a luxuriously dressed young monk came walking over with a group of people around him.

"The Star Rain Clan's pride, Ye Xingyu, is actually here to take part in the assessment!"

"The foundation of the Divine Sword Sect is truly terrifying; they even managed to attract Ye Xingyu, who ranks number eighty on the Heavenly Pride List."

"Shush, haven't you heard? It is said that the high-level officials of the Divine Sword Sect, in order to win the Hundred Sects competition three months later, specially promised that the number one in the entrance assessment could practice in the Giant Sword Realm for ten days!"

"What? You can actually cultivate in the Giant Sword Realm for ten days? No wonder even the heavenly prides are keen to participate in the Divine Sword Sect's entrance assessment."

...

All the monks participating in the assessment looked at Ye Xingyu with envy on their faces.

In order to find those young monks with endless potential from the billions, the Star Sea Ten Thousand Clans specially created the Heavenly Pride List.

The Heavenly Pride List had a total of one hundred spots. Throughout history, any genius who made it into the Heavenly Pride List,

Aside from those who died unexpectedly, all the other monks were promoted to the Saint Realm, and a very few freaks even became supreme beings!

Over time, these geniuses on the Heavenly Pride List also became figures fiercely competed for by various sects.

Although Ye Xingyu was only ranked eightieth on the Heavenly Pride List, he was still one of the geniuses, an exceptional talent standing atop the heads of billions of young cultivators.

"You!"

The chubby monk first stared at Ye Xingyu with indignation, then clenched his fists and said through clenched teeth, "I have seen Star Sky Genius."

"Get lost, don't block this heavenly pride's sight here."

Ye Xingyu said disdainfully.

Ever since becoming a heavenly pride, Ye Xingyu had grown fond of giving orders to ordinary monks. Over time, he developed an arrogant and tyrannical manner.

However, due to his status as a heavenly pride, as long as he did not foolishly provoke those ranked higher than him, no one would teach him a lesson.

Faced with Ye Xingyu's groundless ridicule, the fat and thin monks didn't dare to even take a deep breath and fled the crowd in a most embarrassing manner.

They were nothing more than ordinary monks in the Nirvana Realm, and compared with a heavenly pride like Ye Xingyu, they were like the ground to the sky.

If they continued to stay, even if Ye Xingyu killed them, no one would stand up for them.

Such was the privilege of a heavenly pride.

"Interesting."

Bai Yan muttered softly, a mysterious smile on his face.

He could sense that this so-called heaven's pride, Ye Xingyu, had already cultivated to the pinnacle of the legendary realm. If he could comprehend the Sword Intent this time, he might just breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

But that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that this heavenly pride dared to put on airs in front of him.

Truly deserving of a beating.

"Why are you still here? Didn't you hear what this heavenly pride said?"

Ye Xingyu, upon seeing Bai Yan had not left, suddenly turned his hostility towards him.

"I'm not with them."

Bai Yan explained indifferently.

Previously, to participate in the assessment, Bai Yan had suppressed his power to the Nirvana Realm, and at this moment, he didn't want to expose himself because of an ant's identity.

By the time he acquires the inheritance, it will be Ye Xingyu's death.

"I don't care whether you're with him or not, I just want you to scram!"

Ye Xingyu stared at Bai Yan, threatening in a low voice.

"Young man, that's a dangerous thought."

Bai Yan watched Ye Xingyu with an incredulous look, arms crossed over his chest, with absolutely no intention of leaving.

He had originally planned to let him swagger around for a while, but he never expected this guy to be a daredevil who wouldn't stop until he played himself to death.

"Who is this person, daring to defy the command of Heavenly Pride?"

"Probably just a rash youngster. With his Nirvana Realm strength, challenging the Star Sky Genius is simply seeking death."

"Now this is going to be a good show to watch. The Star Domain's Pride will definitely not let him go."

...

The surrounding monks were excited to see Bai Yan daring to defy the command of Heavenly Pride, each one gathering around to watch the spectacle.

"How dare you disobey my command!"

Seeing Bai Yan defy his command in front of so many monks, Ye Xingyu felt a wave of disgrace and his expression turned vicious.

Following that, the terrifying pressure of a legendary realm peak was unmistakably displayed, and endless Divine Radiance enveloped him, leaving no gaps.

"Die!"

Ye Xingyu formed a claw with his hand, all the Divine Radiance gathering in his palm, and viciously reached for Bai Yan's shoulder.

"Boom!"

A loud sound echoed, and Ye Xingyu's claw fiercely clamped onto Bai Yan's shoulder.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations of blood splattering, they saw Bai Yan standing there calmly as ever.

In contrast, Ye Xingyu's face was contorted, as no matter how he stimulated the Divine Radiance, his claw was like grasping onto a steel body, unable to penetrate the slightest bit.

"I hate most those who show off in front of me."

Bai Yan's right hand revealed a golden glove, and the six shining gemstones on the glove were particularly dazzling.

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Xingyu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Just to teach you a lesson."

Bai Yan said with a faint smile, and then grasped Ye Xingyu's claw.

"Crack!"

A very crisp sound rang out, and golden Divine Blood flowed continuously from Bai Yan's hand.

"Ahh!!!"

Ye Xingyu immediately let out a painful scream, his face twisted with intense pain.

When the surrounding monks saw that Ye Xingyu's palm was left with only a few scattered pieces of bone, they all gasped in shock, eyes bulging out.

This person actually crushed the hand of the Star Sky Genius!

A crack sound, shattered...

It looks painful!

"How dare you injure me!"

Enduring the pain, Ye Xingyu looked at Bai Yan in disbelief.

Ever since he became a Heavenly Pride, even Quasi-Saint powerhouses tended to ingratiate themselves with him, and he was immensely respected everywhere he went.

Yet, now he had been injured by a Nirvana Realm monk using Divine Weapon Gloves.

"Oh, right, this mouth of yours also needs to learn a lesson."

Bai Yan's face wore an evil smile, and then he reached for Ye Xingyu's face.
