At this moment, Xiao Lan's snow-white chin slightly lifted, her jet-black eyes like black pearls locked eyes with Ye Chen, brimming with intense mockery and disdain.

Yes, she was indeed looking down on Ye Chen.

This waste, with a shattered dantian and unable to even open up his Sea of Qi, truly had no self-awareness, yet still had the courage to participate in the admissions assessment.

By doing so, he was destined to become a laughingstock throughout Kunzhou Prefecture, a topic for others over tea and meals.

Meanwhile, she, Xiao Lan, would take the world by storm and become the center of attention.

Sometimes, reality is just that cruel.

The useless will always serve as mere green leaves, highlighting the strength of others.

And Ye Chen, was just such a green leaf.

Whoosh.

In the next moment, Xiao Lan's gaze moved away from Ye Chen, as if she couldn't even be bothered to spare him another glance.

Then she brushed aside her hair from her forehead and stepped towards the Talent Divine Pillar with lotus steps.

At this moment, almost all the cultivators in the Talent Hall focused their gaze on Xiao Lan, as if she were the protagonist of this world.

And Xiao Lan thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.

"Luo Tong, open your eyes wide and see who truly is the number one genius of the younger generation," Xiao Yang suddenly looked at Luo Tong, giving him a cold smile filled with provocation.

Buzz.

At this moment, a dazzling purple lightning suddenly burst forth from within Xiao Lan, illuminating the entire Talent Hall.

Then, everyone saw an enormous fox, about two zhang in length, emerge behind Xiao Lan, radiating a soul-trembling aura.

"It's the Thunder Fox Bloodline."

"No, a normal Thunder Fox Bloodline could never be this powerful. Could it be that Xiao Lan's bloodline has also mutated?" The hall erupted in astonishment, many spectators couldn't help but draw in a cold breath, their bodies rigid with shock.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Amidst the crowd's surprise, Xiao Lan's jade hand suddenly reached into the groove above the Talent Divine Pillar, causing the entire pillar to tremble slightly.

Next, one glaring bronze ring after another flew out from above the Talent Divine Pillar, floating above Xiao Lan's head, making her appear divine, like the Nine Heavens Divine Lady descending to the world.

"Heavens! There are actually eight bronze rings."

"Doesn't this mean Xiao Lan awakened a Yellow Level Second Grade bloodline?" Numerous onlookers exclaimed in disbelief.

It's known that one bronze ring signifies the awakening of a Yellow Level Ninth Grade bloodline.

Two bronze rings mean the awakening of a Yellow Level Eighth Grade bloodline.

The more bronze rings there are, the higher the level of the awakened bloodline.

At this moment, there were eight bronze rings floating above Xiao Lan's head.

This signifies that she awakened a Yellow Level Second Grade bloodline, which is even stronger than Luo Yuan's Double-headed Red Lion Bloodline.

"My bloodline is so powerful, all thanks to that Purple Thunder Crystal. Who knows where that waste Ye Chen got the Purple Thunder Crystal from." Seeing the shocked faces of the crowd, Xiao Lan couldn't help but feel immensely proud inside.

Having been unable to awaken her bloodline since childhood due to innate inadequacies, she always longed for acknowledgment.

And now, she could finally achieve her wish.

Yet, she forgot that her current status was entirely thanks to the Purple Thunder Crystal Ye Chen gifted her.

If not for Ye Chen, she still would've been unable to awaken her bloodline.

"Good, very good. I didn't expect Xiao Lan's bloodline to be stronger than Luo Yuan's, and it seems to be enhanced by some treasure, making her suitable for joining our Celestial Flame Peak," Liu Xin said, eyes lighting up with joy.

A Yellow Level Second Grade bloodline is considered genius even within our Celestial Flame Academy.

Moreover, Xiao Lan's bloodline seems to have the potential to be further enhanced.

If she can elevate her bloodline to the Profound Level, she might even become a seed student at our Celestial Flame Academy.

By then, Liu Xin would certainly receive rewards from the Celestial Flame Academy.

After all, this student was personally recruited by her.

"Damn it! How could this be? Xiao Lan's bloodline is unexpectedly this powerful." On the high platform, the Patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Tong, wore an incredibly dark expression, struggling to believe his eyes.

He originally thought that since Luo Yuan awakened a Yellow Level Third Grade bloodline, he would undoubtedly become the first in the enrollment assessment this time.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Lan's bloodline was even stronger than Luo Yuan's.

This was like a bolt from the blue for the Luo Family.

"The Ye Family has already produced a Ye Lin'Er, which seriously shakes our Luo Family's position, and now the Xiao Family has produced a Xiao Lan. If this continues, our Luo Family is in danger," Luo Tong couldn't help but feel an intense sense of crisis.

"Look quickly, Xiao Lan is starting to test her Martial Arts Talent."

"I've heard that her Martial Arts Talent has been extremely high since childhood. I wonder what level it has reached." Everyone held their breath, and their eyes fell once again on the top of the Talent Divine Pillar.

At this time, the eight Bronze Rings floating above Xiao Lan's head had all disappeared.

However, dazzling rays of light still erupted from the top of the Bronze Divine Pillar, instantly covering one-third of the pillar.

This meant that Xiao Lan's Martial Arts Talent had at least reached Middle Grade.

"My god, the light on top of the pillar is still climbing upwards at an incredibly fast speed."

"Could it be that Xiao Lan's Martial Arts Talent has the hope of surpassing Middle Grade?" The cultivators watching couldn't help but take a sharp breath, their eyes widening even larger than bronze bells.

Even Ye Lin'Er and Duanmu Jie stared fixedly at the Talent Divine Pillar, their expressions somewhat complex.

Even they only had their Martial Arts Talent reach Upper Grade.

If Xiao Lan's Martial Arts Talent truly surpassed Middle Grade, wouldn't that mean she was almost on par with them?

Buzz.

At this moment, the radiant light emanating from the Talent Divine Pillar finally covered two-thirds of the pillar, and it continued to spread upwards.

This meant that Xiao Lan's Martial Arts Talent had reached Upper Grade.

"Such powerful Martial Arts Talent, I must bring this Xiao Lan into our Celestial Flame Peak." Liu Xin couldn't help but stand up from her seat, her gaze intensely fiery.

Although Xiao Lan's bloodline could not match those of the Seed Students, her Martial Arts Talent was stronger than some of the Seed Students.

This kind of genius is also worth our Celestial Flame Academy's full efforts to win over.

"Finally, it has stopped."

"Xiao Lan's Martial Arts Talent is so heaven-defying; it has reached Upper Grade. Given time, her achievements will be limitless." Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"Damn it, this Xiao Lan's Martial Arts Talent is almost the same as mine." Ye Lin'Er's face, on the other hand, was covered with frost.

She originally thought her Martial Arts Talent was strong enough, that except for Ye Chen, no one in the entire Kunzhou Prefecture could compare to her.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Lan's Martial Arts Talent was no weaker than hers.

This made her feel extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

"Haha, Luo Tong, did you see that? This is the strength of my daughter." On the high platform, Xiao Yang of the Xiao Family couldn't help but laugh, his expression extremely proud.

In contrast, Luo Tong and the other high-level members of the Luo Family all had extremely unpleasant expressions.

"Ye Chen, it's still not too late to give up the assessment now; otherwise, you'll only bring disgrace upon yourself. Of course, if you want to become a laughingstock of the entire Kunzhou Prefecture, then go ahead." After a moment, Xiao Lan brushed past Ye Chen as she returned to the high platform, her tone full of mockery.

"Xiao Lan, you're getting complacent too early. This time, it's your turn to open your eyes wide and watch." Ye Chen coldly smiled and then walked towards the Talent Divine Pillar.

"Haha, it's Ye Chen, that good-for-nothing."

"Not only is his Dantian shattered, but even his bloodline hasn't awakened. Who gave him the courage to test himself?" The younger generation participating in the assessment laughed one after another, all with an attitude of watching a good show.

"Hah! So it's finally that waste's turn? I want to see how much he can really do." Duanmu Jie couldn't help but sneer, his mouth full of heavy ridicule.

"Humph! This waste's Phoenix Race bloodline has already been taken by me, so it's impossible for him to test out any bloodline. He dreams of entering the Celestial Flame Academy." Ye Lin'Er, on the side, looked coldly at Ye Chen, as if looking at a clown.

"Chen'er, I believe you can succeed," said Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother, the only ones in the Talent Hall who held great expectations for him.

Tap tap tap.

Under the mocking and disdainful gazes of the crowd, Ye Chen walked step by step towards the center of the Talent Hall, towards the Talent Divine Pillar.

He tightly clenched his fists, making a sharp cracking sound.

Thinking of the humiliation and hardship he had endured during this time, a raging fire of anger burned in his heart.

This time, he wanted those who underestimated and ridiculed him to know just how foolish and ignorant they were.

"What about not having a bloodline? I've obtained the Human Emperor Inheritance, and I'll rise rapidly. Ye Lin'Er, soon, I'll make you pay for your blood debt." As Ye Chen inserted his right hand into the slot of the Talent Divine Pillar, he coldly said in his heart.
