Supreme Martial God of the City-Chapter 1167 - 1107: Changing Seats

"Such refined spiritual energy concentration."

Approaching the shore of Lake Heart Island, Ye Tian’s eyes brightened as he muttered to himself. It wasn’t just him; everyone else on the large ship felt the same.

The longing for the Divine Martial Academy became even stronger.

If one could become a student of the Divine Martial Academy, they would be able to cultivate in such a rich spiritual energy concentration continuously. Wouldn’t their strength improve rapidly with half the effort?

"There’s a rumor that beneath the Divine Martial Lake lies a Spirit Vein of quite a high level, continually supplying the Divine Martial Academy with refined spiritual energy," Wu Lican softly explained to Ye Tian and Ji Qinghe.

After disembarking the large ship,

the first thing that caught their eye was a sunken, underground giant plaza.

The plaza was entirely gray-red, paved with enormous slabs of stone.

In the very center of the plaza stood a towering statue nearly a thousand meters tall.

Its majesty was indescribable. What’s more, the statue was carved to perfection, lifelike, down to the pores on its face.

"That’s the Divine Martial Sword Immortal," Wu Lican raised his eyes, looking at the massive statue in the plaza, speaking with reverence and slightly bowing as he spoke.

After speaking, Wu Lican pointed to the side of the giant plaza: "This plaza can accommodate millions of spectators at once. When you take your test and assessment, we’ll be seated on the stone paths at the side, able to see the whole scene."

There were already quite a few people on the plaza. It wasn’t crowded yet overwhelming. On Earth, Ye Tian had never witnessed such a scene where hundreds of thousands or even millions gathered together.

The three found a place in the front row and sat down.

Coincidentally or not, the Ancient and Modern Little Princess wasn’t far away either.

Ye Tian and Ji Qinghe attracted quite a bit of attention.

However, the most attention was garnered by Song Qingcang and Yu Qiong, who had arrived earlier than Ye Tian and Ji Qinghe. The attention they received was like stars surrounded by the moon.

"Very strong!" Ji Qinghe, who rarely spoke, glanced at Song Qingcang and Yu Qiong and said softly.

Song Qingcang was alright; looking at him felt like facing a massive mountain, overwhelmingly imposing, impacting the heart—a simple intuitive sense.

But when she looked at Yu Qiong, he seemed to sense it and glanced back at her.

With just one glance, Ji Qinghe was slightly hurt.

"Sword Intent, extraordinarily strong Sword Intent. Are you alright?"

Ye Tian asked out of concern, also glancing at Yu Qiong, his gaze cold.

Meanwhile,

In the distance, Yu Qiong chuckled, "Ji Qinghe? Indeed not bad, under a wisp of my Sword Intent attack, she’s only slightly injured..."

His tone was full of admiration, yet there was a hint of teasing.

"Young Master Qiong, excellent as she may be, she’s nowhere near your level as you’re aiming for the top spot," the men and women around Yu Qiong said respectfully, not completely flattering but genuinely admiring and respecting Yu Qiong.

These men and women were also no weaklings, mostly in the Late-stage Spiritual Martial Realm, Peak Stage, or even Xuanwu Realm, all with stable realms and solid auras, not simple. They all had good chances of passing the assessment.

Geniuses among geniuses.

Yet even so, in front of Yu Qiong, they maintained a low profile as if they were Yu Qiong’s subordinates.

"Wu Yao, go over to Ji Qinghe and invite her to sit over here," Yu Qiong commanded, his voice not loud but not deliberately soft, drawing many glances of surprise.

A few days ago, when Ji Qinghe became famous, rumors spread that Song Qingcang had taken a liking to Ji Qinghe.

He wanted to make Ji Qinghe the Crown Princess Consort.

Yet at this moment, Yu Qiong wanted to invite Ji Qinghe to sit with him.

This was undoubtedly a deliberate provocation toward Song Qingcang!

"Yes!" Wu Yao, a silent youth at 24, in the Late-stage Spiritual Martial Realm, stood up and quickly made his way toward Ye Tian and Ji Qinghe, drawing countless eyes to follow. Many knew a spectacle was about to unfold.

"This is not good," Wu Lican said with a bitter smile.

He feared it would turn out this way.

Sometimes, gaining fame early is not a good thing.

Ye Tian and Ji Qinghe had gained fame days ago by defeating the Ancient and Modern Little Princess.

Quickly.

Wu Yao arrived before Ye Tian and Ji Qinghe.

"Miss Ji, Young Master Qiong invites you over to sit," Wu Yao said neither arrogantly nor humbly.

These words made the sea of people in the plaza quiet down a bit.

Under numerous gazes, Ji Qinghe became the focus of all attention.

Among them were quite a few envious eyes.

The lucky girl was noticed by both Yu Qiong and Song Qingcang, two extraordinary geniuses!!!

"No."

However, Ji Qinghe outright refused.

With not a hint of hesitation.

Against many people’s expectations, given Yu Qiong’s exceptional excellence, being noticed or even invited by him was definitely an honor.

Moreover, even if one’s heart wasn’t willing, refusing so directly could be unwise. Offending Yu Qiong was no trivial matter.

Sometimes, excessive pride comes at a painful price.

"Miss Ji..." Wu Yao wanted to say something.

"Scram!" But Ji Qinghe only gave this one word.

"Hahahaha... The woman I, the Crown Prince, fancy, certainly has character."

From further away, a young man in a black and gold robe with a cold and domineering aura, surrounded by many geniuses, handsome and tall, suddenly laughed heartily. His gaze was assertive, domineering, and appreciative as he looked at Ji Qinghe from afar, his voice equally loud.

It was Song Qingcang. Song Qingcang made no attempt to conceal his interest in Ji Qinghe!!!

However, he did not rush to aid Ji Qinghe now. He wanted to see how Ji Qinghe would handle it next.

As expected.

Yu Qiong rose to his feet.

He walked toward Ji Qinghe and Ye Tian.

Wu Lican trembled even more.

The more he didn’t want something to happen, the more it did.

"Miss Ji, please show a bit of courtesy,"

Wu Lican was basically pleading, trembling with fear. Yu Qiong, a figure like a legend, commanded too much intimidation. Forget potential, just at this stage, a monstrous figure like Yu Qiong could instantly kill him a thousand times.

Soon.

Yu Qiong stood in front of Ye Tian and Ji Qinghe.

Surprisingly, he didn’t directly look at Ji Qinghe but instead placed his gaze on Ye Tian.

"Brother Ye Tian, I’d like to switch seats with you. What do you think?"

You, Ji Qinghe, don’t want to sit over there with me, Yu Qiong.

Then I, Yu Qiong, will come sit beside you.

It’s the same effect, isn’t it?

Song Qingcang’s woman piqued his interest in competition as well.

Now, practically everyone’s gaze in the entire venue fell on Ye Tian!!!

A true sea of millions watching.

"To be targeted by Yu Qiong, he’s truly unlucky," the Ancient and Modern Little Princess muttered not far away, mourning for Ye Tian. Although she was annoyed by Yu Qiong’s highhanded stance, as if he was second only to the heavens, she had to admit Yu Qiong was extremely powerful!

Even now, she wasn’t sure about Yu Qiong’s true level of strength.

Although Ye Tian was also extraordinary, the Ancient and Modern Little Princess knew Ye Tian was far from being Yu Qiong’s match.
