Inside the splendid palace, Ye Lin'Er's face was covered with a thick layer of frost, as she furiously crumpled the letter in her hand, a terrifying killing intent surging from her entire body, making people shudder involuntarily.

On the day she set off for Celestial Flame Academy, she had clearly given Ye Nan nine Earth Spirit Stones, ordering him to eliminate Ye Chen.

However, not only was Ye Chen, this waste, still alive and well, but somehow he had managed to kill Ye Nan.

This was completely beyond Ye Lin'Er's expectations.

"Damn, damn it! How did that waste manage to kill Ye Nan? Could it be that he has some other treasures on him?" Ye Lin'Er roared angrily in her heart.

It was known that Ye Chen had a shattered dantian since childhood, making him a complete waste.

With Ye Nan's strength, killing him should have been as easy as squashing an ant.

But now, he had instead killed Ye Nan.

If it weren't for the assistance of a secret treasure, it would have been absolutely impossible for him.

Yet, the storage bracelet left by Ye Chen's father had long fallen into Ye Lin'Er's hands.

So where exactly did these secret treasures on him come from?

Could it be that Ye Chen, this waste, had some secrets he hadn't told her?

"Sister Lin'er, what's wrong? Are you in some kind of trouble? If you need my help, just let me know." Duanmu Jie asked curiously, seeing the angry and shocked expression on Ye Lin'Er's face, his eyes full of deep concern.

Although he was pursuing Ye Lin'Er, he never had a chance to show off in front of her.

This time, maybe he could use this opportunity to exhibit his abilities in front of Ye Lin'Er.

"Senior Brother Duanmu, I am indeed having a small problem. In a few days, I plan to personally go to Kunzhou Prefecture to completely resolve this trouble." Ye Lin'Er's expression suddenly calmed down, and she flashed a slight smile at Duanmu Jie.

"I happen to have something to attend to in Kunzhou Prefecture as well. Why don't you accompany me, Junior Sister Lin'er? It'll be good to have someone to look out for each other." Duanmu Jie said with a smile, while drinking down the fine wine in his cup.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother Duanmu." Ye Lin'Er's lips curled into a sweet smile.

Although Duanmu Jie was not her ideal partner, he was still highly valuable.

After all, he was the young master of one of the most powerful families in the Celestial Flame Dynasty—the Duanmu Family.

And his aunt, Duanmu Ying, was the Peak Master of Profound Sword Peak at Celestial Flame Academy, one of the most powerful figures in the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Therefore, with his help, Ye Lin'Er could quickly make a name for herself in the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Compared to Duanmu Jie, Ye Chen, this waste, was simply laughable.

Not only did he have a shattered dantian since childhood, but he was also hunted by powerful forces, always hiding pitifully in the Ye Family like a stray dog.

Thus, taking Ye Chen's Phoenix Race bloodline was the most sensible choice.

If the Phoenix Race bloodline stayed with Ye Chen, a waste like him, it would never reach its full potential.

"Ha! Ye Chen, although I don't know how you, this waste, managed to kill Ye Nan, this time you won't have such luck again. Even if you do have other secret treasures, killing you would still be as easy for me, Ye Lin'Er, as crushing a bug." Ye Lin'Er sneered coldly in her heart, her demeanor full of disdain, with an overwhelming cruelty in her eyes.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had been cultivating in that cave for a full nine days.

During these nine days, besides eating and resting, he had been absorbing the power of the Beast Core, continuously opening up new Sea of Qi.

Now, the number of Sea of Qi within his body had reached as many as thirty-two, which was incredibly astonishing.

"In nine days, I've opened up ten Seas of Qi in total. My cultivation has now stepped into the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer. As long as I get a spot to participate in the Celestial Flame Academy's examination, I am absolutely sure to enter the academy to cultivate." Ye Chen said with immense confidence.

He had waited for this day for a very long time.

The storage bracelet his father left him, as well as the mysterious necklace his mother left him, were all taken by that bitch Ye Lin'Er.

If he didn't take back those treasures, how could he face his deceased parents?

Especially the mysterious necklace his mother left him, which was immensely important to him, as it was the only keepsake left by his mother.

Therefore, no matter the cost, he was determined to get it back.

"Now, it's time to return to Kunzhou Prefecture. I just don't know if those old fellows in the Ye Family are willing to give me a slot." Ye Chen frowned slightly.

Although his cultivation had reached the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer, meeting the standard for the Celestial Flame Academy entrance examination,

he still had to obtain an examination slot first. Otherwise, how could he stand a chance to be selected by a teacher from Celestial Flame Academy?

Although the Ye Family controlled ten slots, Ye Kun and Ye Hu would definitely not give Ye Chen one easily.

"Oh right, I can go to the Xiao Family to ask. Back then, I gave Xiao Lan a Purple Thunder Crystal to help her awaken her Thunder Fox bloodline. The Xiao Family should be willing to give me a slot." A faint smile flashed across Ye Chen's lips.

Xiao Lan was the daughter of the Xiao Family's Patriarch, Xiao Yang.

Her martial arts talent was definitely among the highest in the younger generation of the Xiao Family.

Unfortunately, she had been injured in her mother's womb, leading to congenital deficiencies, making it difficult for her to awaken her bloodline.

Yet among the treasures left by Ye Chen's father was a rare Purple Thunder Crystal, which could compensate for Xiao Lan's deficiency.

Originally, Ye Chen was not planning to give this Purple Thunder Crystal to Xiao Lan,

as it was something his father left for his future cultivation.

However, Ye Chen's adoptive mother, Xiao Hui, was Xiao Lan's aunt, and she couldn't bear to see Xiao Lan struggle to awaken her bloodline.

Therefore, she asked Ye Chen to give the Purple Thunder Crystal to Xiao Lan.

As Ye Chen had always been well cared for by his adoptive mother since childhood, he naturally didn't refuse her.

Later, with the help of the Purple Thunder Crystal, Xiao Lan successfully awakened her Thunder Fox bloodline, advancing in cultivation by leaps and bounds.

The Xiao Family was therefore very grateful to Ye Chen, promising to repay him well in the future.

Now that Ye Chen was in urgent need of a slot for the Celestial Flame Academy entrance examination, the Xiao Family should be willing to help him.

After all, the Xiao Family also controlled ten slots, which should be enough for the younger generation of their family.

"I will go to the Xiao Family right now. As long as they are willing to give me a slot, I will repay them tenfold in the future." Ye Chen thought to himself as he got up and swiftly headed towards Kunzhou Prefecture City.
