70: Shock to the mainland
“Little brother, wait a bit. I didn’t perform well in my first test.”
Chu Yunshang waved her fist, her Face invigorated, and turned to plunge back into the testing space.
The second time, in one minute, she killed six hundred and thirty Scarlet Flame Golden Crystal Leopards.
Chu Yunshang was still not satisfied with her performance.
The third time, six hundred and fifty-eight.
The fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time…
The ninth time, Chu Yunshang’s score reached seven hundred and thirty-nine, just enough to squeeze into the top three of the Combining Body Ranking.
Chu Yunshang didn’t test again. She walked over with a dejected expression and told Chu Tian that Holy Maiden Hui Lian was a Prodigy, and she couldn’t compare.
Chu Tian smiled and comforted his Elder sister for a few moments, quickly making the optimistic her beam with joy.
At this moment, the entire venue was suffocated!
They looked at Chu Tian and Chu Yunshang, these siblings, completely shocked.
They couldn’t understand why this Family could produce two such astonishing Prodigies; for ordinary people, even one was difficult.
Seeing Chu Yunshang’s dejected look, everyone felt so depressed they wanted to vomit blood.
Are they even letting people live?
This kind of score was already among the top three in the Hengtian Continent. As for Holy Maiden Hui Lian, was she even human?
If it weren't for the Little Holy Son's appearance, she would have been universally recognized as the top Prodigy under thirty, the undisputed strongest below the Saint realm, praised by the Sect Master of the Saint Sect, Heavenly Fortune Daoist, as a Prodigy of the Cihang Holy Sect appearing once every million years, with a chance to surpass him and become one of the strongest in the Saint Sect's history.
At this time, on the Hengtian Board, Chu Yunshang’s name also surpassed Ye Feng, reaching third place, second only to Holy Maiden Hui Lian.
Chu Yunshang, Saint Heaven Sect, innate Saint Bone, seventeen years old, Body Integration eighth stage, surged into the third place on the Combining Body Ranking.
A very concise sentence.
But the shorter it was, the more it contained unparalleled impact.
Because the Hengtian Board’s assessment was not based on actual combat power, but on potential.
The fewer the words, the greater the potential it implied. Just one test made the Hengtian Board recognize immense potential.
Just like Chu Tian, in his first test, at the age of eight, he directly broke through the Forging Bone Rankings, killing thirty Archaic Vicious Beasts, including a True Dragon Hatchling, thus directly entering the first place on the Hengtian Board.
This was a tremendous honor!
No matter in any Sect, even in the Saint Heaven Sect, it was enough to shock the entire Sect, gain the attention of the highest levels, obtain immense resources and focused cultivation, and even be taken as a Disciple by high-ranking figures, or be eagerly recruited by top-tier great Families.
It would immediately and completely change one’s life destiny.
And at this moment, Hengtian Board first, Chu Tian, Hengtian Board third, Chu Yunshang.
The two names silenced everyone in the Eternal Heaven Hall.
At this time, the news of Chu Tian and Chu Yunshang in the Eternal Heaven Hall spread throughout the Sect with lightning speed, reaching the highest levels and entering the Elder Council.
The Saint Heaven Sect was shaken.
At this moment, throughout the Hengtian Continent, all Hengtian Boards simultaneously refreshed, and countless top-tier Sects and old monsters fell silent.
Because at this moment, on the Hengtian Board:
The first, third, and fourth places were all people from the Saint Heaven Sect.
The only difference was that the first two had the surname Chu, and the last one had the surname Ye.
“Decades ago, two names constantly rotated among the top three of the Hengtian Board: Chu Tian King and Ye Tianxiong,” an old monster muttered in a Forbidden Ground of a certain top Sect.
“Decades later, the Saint Heaven Sect leaped to become the strongest Sect in the Hengtian Continent.”
“Is this scene going to repeat itself?”
“Could it be that the Chu Family has gained the favored destiny of the Hengtian Continent?”
“After years of silence, I thought this generation of the Chu Family might have gone astray and was heading for decline. I never expected the Chu Family to have been hiding, and so deeply at that.”
The Hengtian Continent was deeply shaken.
At this moment, Chu Tian and Chu Yunshang had just walked out of the Eternal Heaven Hall, with Hui Mei and Hui Lian following them, when an familiar figure descended from the sky.
“Little Holy Son, Young Miss Cloud Garment, this old man congratulates you in advance.”
Duanmu Lei, with a smiling Face, landed in front of the Eternal Heaven Hall.
“Uncle Lei,” Chu Tian and Chu Yunshang called out simultaneously.
After some polite conversation.
Duanmu Lei began to get to the point, still with a strong smile on his Face, saying, “Little Holy Son, I specifically came to invite you to Jitian Peak to attend the conferment ceremony. But this time is different, don’t rush to refuse. First, let this old man finish speaking.
After half a month of discussion, the Elder Council approved your suggestion, Little Holy Son, and reached the following resolutions.
Firstly, revoke Ye Tianhong, Hall Master’s position as Internal Affairs Hall Master. The Internal Affairs Hall’s Deputy Hall Master, which is your Uncle, will temporarily manage the Internal Affairs Hall.
Secondly, Sect Master Ye Tianxiong made a wrong decision this time, severely affecting the internal unity of the Sect. He is ordered to make a public self-criticism to the Elder Council and the Sect’s high-level.”
Duanmu Lei’s smile was very wide as he said, “Your proposal, Little Holy Son, was fully approved by the Elder Council, so there’s no need for the Internal Affairs Hall, Hall of Justice, and Law Enforcement Hall to conduct a joint investigation and deliberation.”
“Now, the Internal Affairs Hall’s work is temporarily overseen by your Uncle Lei. Since your Uncle has personally come to invite you, Little Holy Son, you should at least give this old man some Face, right?”
Duanmu Lei did not deliberately lower or block his voice, so any Disciple nearby with sharp ears could hear him.
Upon hearing Duanmu Lei’s words, the Eternal Heaven Hall was already suffocated, and all the Disciples were completely shocked.
This news was like a massive extraterrestrial meteor, crashing down from outer space, leaving everyone dizzy.
One of the Sect’s high-level magnates, the Internal Affairs Hall Master, was dismissed?
The Sect Master was to make a public self-criticism?
This was simply an earth-shattering upheaval, capable of stirring up colossal waves. In the Saint Heaven Sect’s million-year history, such a thing had never occurred.
“Heavens, am I dreaming?”
“Two of the founding Ye Family’s magnates, one dismissed and one making a self-criticism? This is too unbelievable.”
“How could this be done?”
“The suggestion put forward by the Little Holy Son, who is first on the Hengtian Board, was merely to investigate past events. But this, it directly passed the investigation, reached a conclusion, and imposed a punishment.”
“Even if the Ye Family isn’t severely damaged, they will suffer a great loss of Origin Qi.”
“Especially the Sect Master making a public self-criticism, this, this, this…”
The area around the Eternal Heaven Hall was already packed with throngs of Disciples. Upon hearing this news, their Faces turned ashen from the shock.
One must know who these two individuals were.
The Saint Heaven Sect governed tens of thousands of miles of land and nearly ten billion people, and these two were, one, the highest ruler of the Sect, and the other, a magnate whose stomp could shake millions of miles of land.
Just the Sect ruler being forced to make a public self-criticism was an earth-shattering event. If word got out, it would cause endless turmoil.
And the dismissal of the Internal Affairs Hall Master involved even greater interests.
Among the many Disciples in the venue, not a few came from great Families within the Saint Heaven Sect’s territory, similar to the Liu Family’s children. At this moment, their Faces were pale, and they immediately sent messages to their own Families.
For decades, the Ye Family had been flourishing, but this was their first setback, and a very significant one at that.
