Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable

Naturally, Ao Sheng deliberately wrote down such a ranking.

When Luo Tian saw the number, he grinned, “54088 sounds like a homophone of I am your father. Hahaha… This number is really amusing.”

Before Ao Sheng could respond, Luo Tian added, “Lord Ao, I am not talking about you. I just think the number is kind of funny, hahaha…”

Luo Tian had a playful smirk on his face when he said that.

Even though he was justifying himself, the meaning behind his words was telling Ao Sheng that he was his daddy!

Ao Sheng smiled, “That is your identity tablet, which means you are now qualified to participate in the selection exam.”

Ao Sheng then swept his gaze across the plaza, cleared his voice, and said, “I will give you all three days to prepare. Three days later, everyone will gather back here. I will reveal the chosen venue for your exam. In Towering Cloud City, only ten participants can proceed to the second exam. I hope that all of you will give it your best and achieve good results.”

After saying that, Ao Sheng looked at Luo Tian and said playfully, “Luo Tian, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

His eyes were filled with naked killing intent.

Luo Tian gave him the same smile and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint. But I’m worried that I won’t disappoint myself while you end up feeling disappointed.”

“Humph~!” Ao Sheng sneered before flicking his sleeves and returning back inside the branch courtyard.

The yellow-robed old man followed him in.

At this time, the Bai family disciples were cheering in joy.

Who could accomplish breaking through into the Condensation Element realm in five hours?

Luo Tian had gained a lot of glory for the Bai family, but the disciples of the other four major families in Towering Cloud City were dejected. Luo Tian could deal with Martial Void experts before his breakthrough, so how would they be his match now? This meant that there were only nine slots left in the first round of the examination.

Luo Tian smiled when he turned around and saw all the Bai family members were happy.

Bai Lingling was also very excited. She had an impulse to run up and jump into Luo Tian’s arms and hug him tightly, but she managed to hold back the urge. In each critical moment they encountered, Luo Tian was the one who pulled through, relying on himself. This kind of ability enthralled her.

The whole Bai family was happy, but Bai Qi was quite worried.

After glancing over at Luo Tian, he ordered, “Let’s head back to the Bai family!”

Misty Cloud Academy branch, in a certain courtyard.

Ao Sheng kicked a stone table weighing thousands of jins and sent shattered pieces all over the place. His face was full of anger, and his mood was beyond pissed. “Damn dog thing! Embarrassing me in front of so many people? You Just wait and see how I will make you pay for it!”

He had been holding down the flames of rage while in the plaza.

His killing intent was flaring like crazy.

When he saw Luo Tian’s arrogant expression, he wanted to kill him right then and there.

He had lost a huge bet in front of tens of thousands of people in Towering Cloud City. When he was mocking the Bai family and feeling his proudest moment, the kid walked out to win the bet. This was equivalent to giving him a few hard slaps to the face. This kind of feeling was truly unbearable!

But he didn’t vent his rage and held it in.

It wasn’t because he didn’t want to move against Luo Tian; he just couldn’t do it in front of so many people. Most importantly, he wanted to get his hands on the Heaven Sword. If he blatantly robbed it in front of so many people, this would definitely draw the investigation from the Misty Cloud Academy. At that time, not only would he not be able to get the Heaven Sword, but he would also be heavily punished by the academy.

The yellow-robed old man was astounded by Ao Sheng’s actions because he had never seen him this angry before. He then said, “What are your thoughts on this? How are we going to explain to the Hai family by letting him participate in the examination? We can’t afford to provoke the Hai family. If this matter is known to them, I’m afraid we might end up losing our lives.”

This was the key point he was worried about.

They were clear on how sinister the methods of the Hai family could be.

Ao Sheng frowned before asking softly, “Do you know why I didn’t kill him right away?”

The yellow-robed old man was briefly stunned. He did feel the killing intent coming from Ao Sheng back then, but it was eventually suppressed. So he replied, “Why did you hold back?”

Ao Sheng sneered, “Did you see how happy he was when I told him he was qualified to participate in the examination? Did you see how happy those people from the Bai family were? When a person is the most spirited and the most complacent, you then drop them down the abyss of despair. Do you think his heart would shatter into ashes? I think that kind of feeling would be the best!”

When the yellow-robed old man glanced at Ao Sheng’s expression, an inexplicable fear welled up in his heart. He then said to himself, “What a pervert!”

Ao Sheng continued saying, “Doesn’t he want to participate in the selection exam? Then, let him participate. Once he enters that place, do you think he can leave there alive? Heh heh… That place is my territory. I can take his life any time I want. Isn’t that the equivalent of him never having participated in the examination? The Hai family will not blame us, and the Ephemeral Sword will still end up being yours.”

This was the reason Ao Sheng was letting Luo Tian participate in the selection exam.

In order to control Luo Tian, he had to let him enter his territory. Once that happens, he can do whatever he wants!

The yellow-robed old man smiled, “Brother Ao, that’s a pretty good move. But I heard that he managed to defeat the Hai family’s second young master. You should know that apart from the Hai family’s prince, the second young master is a disciple with the strongest talent and is already at the peak of the Martial Void realm. Can you really do it?”

Ao Sheng narrowed his eyes, “I naturally have a solution…”

At this time, Ao Sheng’s gaze turned lustful when he thought of Bai Lingling’s wonderful figure. He slurped back his drool and said, “The people of the Bai family are his weakness. Young Master Hai is too young; he doesn’t understand that dealing with people like Luo Tian requires some unique means, heh heh…”

The moment he realized he had lost the bet, Ao Sheng was already forming a perfect plan.

Ao Sheng’s gaze reverted back to normal as he said, “Brother Huang, come with me. I’m going to meet with the patriarchs of the other four great families.”

Towering Cloud City, Bai family.

Bai Qi was somewhat worried.

In fact, a part of him was hoping Luo Tian would lose the bet today and give his Heaven Sword to Ao Sheng. This scenario would put the whole matter to rest. Even if Luo Tian wasn’t qualified to participate in this year’s examination, he would still have the chance to do so next year.

But now, Luo Tian had no chance whatsoever.

It wasn’t just him; the other three participants representing the Bai family didn’t stand a chance either.

He was very clear about the first round of the examination, the one that seemed the easiest to pass out of the entire exam. Ten would be selected out of the thirty or so. There was a 33% chance of passing. But now, this round had become the hardest of the entire exam because it was going to be in Ao Sheng’s territory.
