Chu Ge had a guess in his heart, but he didn't make a hasty judgment, just quietly observed.
The surrounding mockery of Ye Chen was endless.
Chu Ge even saw Tang Shan approach Ye Chen, constantly speaking with a sinister smile on his face.
It gave off a sense of a brainless minor villain.
As for Ye Chen, his face remained calm from beginning to end, as if others' words had not affected him in the slightest.
“Silence! What kind of conduct is this, making such a ruckus!”
On the stage, Xing Feng frowned, his voice like a great bell, striking everyone's heart.
In an instant, the scene quieted down, and the few who mocked Ye Chen the most fiercely, including Tang Shan, all turned pale, their minds shaken.
“Found a young man suspected of being a Child of Destiny, who was mocked by the crowd upon his appearance.”
“I have a premonition that after Ye Chen's test, it will be his moment to rise up, turn the tables, and slap everyone's faces.”
Chu Ge muttered to himself, casually recording it in his Diary.
And the female cultivators who had Diary Copies and were paying attention to the situation here also focused their attention on the spirit testing platform.
They felt a slight curiosity about Ye Chen, the Child of Destiny mentioned in Chu Ge's words.
Su Ling'er had concealed herself at this moment, also paying attention to the development of events.
‘Is it really that mysterious? But it does seem a bit strange, how can someone be mocked by everyone as soon as he appears?’
She muttered in her heart, continuing to observe, wanting to see if there would be a reversal later, as recorded in Chu Ge's Diary.
At the same time, she didn't forget to scan the crowd, wanting to find Chu Ge in advance.
Her current state made it difficult to use divine sense and spiritual power, so she could only search with her naked eyes, but there were so many figures that she found nothing, which made her a little annoyed.
On the stage, Xing Feng's gaze fell on Ye Chen, who was slowly ascending the stage, and a look of approval flashed in his eyes.
He secretly thought: ‘This child, at such a young age, faces mockery without being servile or overbearing, his face like a calm lake, his heart full of ambition. He truly has an extraordinary demeanor. Even if his root bone is a bit poor, he might still achieve something. This is truly rare and precious.’
With this thought, his voice softened a bit, changing from his previous cold and stern demeanor.
“Place your hand on the Spirit Testing Stone.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression was calm, but his eyes gleamed with determination.
All the ridicule, mockery, and humiliation he had suffered—starting today, he would wash them all away!
Under the gaze of the crowd below, some mocking, some indifferent, some resentful, Ye Chen slowly placed his hand on the Spirit Testing Stone.
The next moment, from the Spirit Testing Stone, a dazzling red light burst forth!
The red light shone brightly, reflecting on everyone's faces, and from within the light, it seemed as if a phantom flood dragon lurked!
“Latent Dragon Wang Body!”
Xing Feng couldn't help but exclaim, his expression excited.
Below, those who had previously mocked Ye Chen were now unable to open their eyes due to the blinding red light.
Especially when Ye Chen turned around and looked down at them from the high platform, it made them feel a sense of inferiority.
They couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to meet Ye Chen's gaze, who was now radiating brilliance!
Ye Chen's lips curved into an exaggerated, extremely demonic arc.
“Excellent, excellent! With such a root bone, it will surely cause a scramble among the Elders. Ye Chen, come to my side. After the test is over, I will personally introduce you to the Elders who are willing to take Disciples!”
Xing Feng's face was smiling, completely losing his previous stern image.
“Thank you, Elder Xing Feng.”
Ye Chen bowed respectfully, his smile warm and his manners impeccable.
Seeing that the young man in front of him had none of the arrogance and wildness of ordinary young prodigies, Xing Feng was even more satisfied and couldn't help but have some thoughts.
However, he didn't know Ye Chen's true thoughts.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt quite disdainful of Xing Feng in his heart.
Although this Elder Xing seemed to treat him with special regard.
But he had already noticed some clues.
This Elder Xing in front of him probably wanted to take him as a Disciple, which was why he showed him such closeness.
An Inner Sect Elder of the Holy Land, who also held real power and had a cultivation at the Six Heavens Realm, was honestly not bad.
But his, Ye Chen's, goal was not here!
What he wanted was to become a core member of the Holy Land!
To become a Disciple of a certain core Elder or Peak Master!
Each of these figures was a core member of the Holy Land, in charge of a peak, and a Great Power whose cultivation had reached the Seven Heavens!
Only such a Great Power at the Seven Heavens was qualified to be his, Ye Chen's, master; he looked down on mere Six Heavens cultivators!
Furthermore, he had even greater ambitions: to ascend to heaven in one step, become a Disciple of the Holy Lord, and then in the future, contend for the position of Holy Lord of the Holy Land!
Of course, merely possessing a Wang Body root bone was not enough to become a Disciple of the Holy Land's Holy Lord, but he, Ye Chen, had an even greater reliance!
His comprehension was even stronger than his root bone!
As long as he demonstrated it in front of the Holy Lord, he would surely catch his eye!
At that time, it would be the moment for the latent dragon to transform into a soaring dragon!
Chu Ge looked at Ye Chen on the stage, who was full of vigor and occasionally curved his lips into a demonic smile, and muttered in his heart.
‘It's really no different from what I expected.’
With this thought, he couldn't help but summon his Diary panel and began to record.
“This Ye Chen is no longer just suspected; he is very likely the Child of Destiny. Tsk tsk, this standard demonic smile (Image: Ye Chen's Demonic Smile.jpg)”
“I heard that Ye Chen was found to have a Wang Body root bone several years ago, but then inexplicably became a cripple.”
“After that, he lay dormant for several years, enduring much mockery and ridicule from the outside world. If I'm not mistaken, he might have even had a fiancée with whom he had an engagement, but she has probably broken off the engagement by now?”
“Hmm, I just saw an unremarkable, ancient yandao ring on his hand. This confirms it: there must be a wisp of a powerful expert's remnant soul inside!”
After writing a few paragraphs, Chu Ge withdrew his thoughts.
The few Diary Copy holders also saw the content Chu Ge wrote at the first moment.
Su Ling'er was not far from the testing area, but her stealth skills were exceptionally good.
Even Xing Feng, an Elder at the Six Heavens cultivation Realm above her, did not detect her presence at all.
‘This Ye Chen, what a strange smile. How can someone twist their mouth like that when smiling!’
She naturally saw the Diary content Chu Ge recorded immediately, and also saw Ye Chen's smile that Chu Ge casually captured.
In an instant, she felt uncomfortable all over; that smile truly made her feel a bit uneasy.
At the same time, she was secretly amazed that things were indeed developing as Chu Ge recorded in his Diary.
She had already believed most of Chu Ge's speculation about Ye Chen being the Child of Destiny.
And in the sky above, a woman as ethereal as an immortal also took in everything happening below.
The woman wore a white long dress, embroidered with light golden mysterious patterns, white and gold interwoven, making her appear noble and elegant.
Her three thousand strands of dark hair cascaded like a waterfall, swaying with the breeze, standing alone in the sky. At a glance, she truly looked like a celestial fairy descending to the mortal world, so ethereal that she didn't seem to be from the mundane world.
Coupled with the indifferent expression on her exquisitely beautiful face at this moment, it truly highlighted her coldness and nobility to the fullest. Mortals who saw her would probably immediately feel ashamed of themselves and dare not harbor any blasphemous thoughts.
At this moment, this ethereal woman, as if an immortal, also held a Diary Copy in her hand.
Chu Ge's Diary — Luo Huangjun Copy.
“Interesting, it's truly as the Diary owner said, there is a wisp of a remnant soul in the yandao ring Ye Chen wears.”
Luo Huangjun gently parted her red lips, her voice clear and pleasant, like pearls dropping onto a jade plate.
She curved her lips into a slight smile, glanced down, her gaze falling on an uninhabited spot near the spirit testing platform.
In the void there, there was a faint, familiar aura, almost imperceptible.
Then she scanned the Taihuang Peaks in the distance, where spiritual energy was rich and covered by clouds. There, a divine sense was currently focused on the spirit testing platform, clearly also observing.
“Including me, there are three people holding Diary Copies? No, perhaps there are more…”
Luo Huangjun's voice sounded again, ethereal and giving a sense of unreality.
