191: Show off your divine power before the people! Who can transform from a fish into a dragon?

"Thank you, kind messenger! You have saved us from an ocean of suffering!"

These voices were like waves, one after another, crashing against the sky and piercing through the clouds.

Yang Yucheng's expression remained unperturbed.

After completing what he needed to do, Yang Yucheng stepped back, not feeling any sense of pride.

They were just Mortals!

"Brother Yang! I truly envy you!"

"Such opportunities to display one's power in front of others are truly rare!"

Liu Dongqing teased with a laugh!

Yang Yucheng shrugged, "If Brother Liu wishes, I can let you have it next time."

"I'll pass!"

Liu Dongqing quickly shook his head, then cautiously glanced at Protector Han, who was on the high platform behind him, "Brother Yang is Protector Han's Disciple! This kind of good fortune, we would never dare to snatch!"

"Brother Liu is joking!"

Yang Yucheng shook his head, as if he didn't take it to heart.

As they spoke.

Thousands of young men and women around the Ascension Assembly began to move in an orderly fashion.

The first to ascend the platform were not those from Families, but ordinary commoners.

It was unknown where this rumor came from.

Suddenly, there was a rumor that those who went first were merely cannon fodder, the pawns in a 'Dragon's Leap' attempt, while those who went later, due to the deaths of too many pawns before them, would accumulate Luck and be more likely to truly transform into a Dragon.

This rumor was so baseless, appearing out of thin air, and completely unbelievable; for cultivators, it was an enormous joke.

If it were about Luck, that would be one thing, but this rumor truly had no relation.

Yet, wherever the rumor reached, the Ascension Immortal City and Family members everywhere seemed to adopt this approach.

Believing it was one thing, but doing it seemed to be another.

It was truly laughable, yet it was a fact... Below the Ascension Platform!

The young men and women, already lined up, gazed at the shimmering seven-colored light close at hand. The light was chaotic, like a sea of colorful flowers, or perhaps a river of stars in the night sky, breathtakingly beautiful.

It couldn't help but draw people's minds into it.

"So beautiful! Truly stunning!"

The youths' eyes sparkled, both excited and nervous!

The young people of the Upper Three Sects Heaven and Earth and Lower Three Sects Heaven and Earth were all the same.

Due to cultivation, they were all particularly precocious, especially regarding the importance of cultivation, which they had known for a long time!

City Lord Chu Tianxing held a list and called out, "Lin Mengyao!"

As the name was called.

A young girl's figure stepped forward.

She ascended the high platform step by step!

The moment she touched the Ascension Platform, the five bronze mirrors around it all moved in unison, their centers aimed at the young girl's figure.

In an instant.

An invisible pressure emanated from all directions within these five bronze mirrors.

Lin Mengyao found it difficult to move.

But just then, the five bronze mirrors simultaneously emitted faint Spiritual Qi of different colors, which gathered around Li Mengyao's figure and melted into her body.

The invisible pressure greatly decreased!

Lin Mengyao walked forward.

Her face showed joy, but she also knew that this was just the beginning.

At the last step of the platform, Lin Mengyao stopped.

She gritted her teeth.

But the pressure before her was like mountains and seas, no longer like a simple wall, but rather like crashing waves.

Her figure stumbled, and she fell down!

Seeing this scene, Chu Tianxing's face was expressionless, without any emotional fluctuation.

"Lin Mengyao, failed to enter the Ascension Platform, Aptitude D-grade!"

"Next! Wang Wentao!"

Leaving the Ascension Platform!

Lin Mengyao's face was pale, her fists clenched, her teeth gritted. After returning to the crowd, her figure swayed precariously.

The blow was too great; she fainted on the spot.

Aptitude D-grade!

It meant she had no hope of cultivating Immortals. Although she could cultivate, she might not even be able to Breakthrough to the Middle Three Realms.

What good was cultivation then?

This life was wasted!

The surrounding crowd!

The young men and women all cast pitying glances at her, also with a sense of shared sorrow.

But in an instant, they secretly prayed in their hearts.

"I am definitely not her! Absolutely not!"

"At least I should be able to step onto the Ascension Platform! Reaching C-grade Aptitude and being able to Breakthrough to the Middle Three Realms, that is truly having the qualification to cultivate!"

Everyone thought this, but their thoughts were truly naive.

Possessing cultivation Aptitude, even D-grade, was already considered one in a hundred.

C-grade was even one in ten thousand.

As for the B-grade and A-grade above, their numbers would only be even scarcer.

Even though a considerable number of people came from Ascension Immortal City this time, and they were all specially tested, even descendants of cultivators themselves, the probability would still not be very high.

The second youth was even worse than the first, Lin Mengyao!

Ascension Platform steps!

He only took three simple steps; his will was insufficient, and he fell directly, fainting on the spot!

When Chu Tianxing saw this, he waved his hand.

A guard naturally dragged him away.

Those with Aptitude were superior, those without Aptitude were not even considered human!

Seeing this current situation, Ye Tian's heart was very complicated.

Originally, he thought he was already miserable enough.

He hadn't expected that in this world, there were so many people more miserable than him!

Some, from the very beginning, couldn't even touch the Grand Dao of cultivation. Even if they gave their all, their entire lives would just be a joke!

And his Aptitude, originally A-grade, even after being crippled once and largely mended.

It was still High Grade among B-grade!

Breaking through to the Middle Three Realms, for him, was originally just a small matter.

But for others, it seemed to be the goal and endpoint of an entire life!

Noticing Ye Tian's fluctuating thoughts, Ye Qingshan turned around and comforted him, "Tian'er! That person is Messenger Yang Yucheng!"

Ye Qingshan changed the subject, his gaze directed towards Yang Yucheng's position.

Hearing this, Ye Tian no longer cared about the shared sorrow and quickly followed his father Ye Qingshan's gaze.

What kind of person was Yang Yucheng?

This question.

Before Ye Tian met Yang Yucheng, he had worries, curiosity, and fear.

But now.

Seeing Yang Yucheng, Ye Tian carefully observed him.

His evaluation.

"Damn! This guy is so f*cking handsome!"

Yang Yucheng's dark, shining eyes, and his black hair like black crystal behind him, gently falling from above, reaching his waist.

He was spotless, standing there quietly, accepting everyone's attention, yet his expression remained unchanged, his demeanor extraordinary.

On his chiseled handsome face, there was an indescribable sense of reassurance.

Especially as Ye Tian looked at him.

He always felt a special closeness to Yang Yucheng. This feeling seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, so inexplicable, so without warning!

Originally!

Ye Tian believed that the reason Yang Yucheng would take him as a Disciple was definitely because he valued his Aptitude, or some other reason.
