Duan Ling Tian could not help but shake his head when he heard his fellow students’ conversation. He thought that it was likely that there would be an uproar tomorrow when his points were announced.

‘The highest points in the past were only more than 20,000 points. I could’ve avoided this commotion if I’d spoken to Ding Yan and Hou Qing Ning about this matter…’

After Duan Ling Tian entered his room, he sat on his bed and brought out a stalk of grass that glowed with a green light. The grass’ edge was like a sawtooth. Despite being plucked, it was still brimming with vitality. The stalk of grass was none other than his reward for ranking first in the trial, the Dragon Pattern Divine Grass.

Murong Sui Feng, the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy, had told Yu Qian Shan to give him the Dragon Pattern Divine Grass before he returned to his courtyard.

Duan Ling Tian knew Murong Sui Feng showed so much care for him due to his talent.

Although he had told Murong Sui Feng about his origin, he naturally did not mention he had only managed to go to the Realm Battlefield with the help of the Five Divine Elements in his body.

The Five Divine Elements were not only highly coveted in the Devata Realms, but in the Realms of Gods as well. Most people would stop at nothing to get their hands on any of the Five Divine Elements, especially those with a high form. After all, with the Five Divine Elements, one’s chances of becoming a supreme powerhouse were very high. How could Emperors of Gods or Supreme Gods not be interested in something like that?

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian knew he could never expose the existence of the Five Divine Elements in his body.

He was not afraid of Murong Sui Feng digging deeper into his story. Even if Murong Sui Feng managed to go to the Land of the Dead, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms, it would be at least 300 years in the future. At that time, even if the space in the Land of the Dead was stable, he could brush it off as the space there only being unstable due to the collision between the Realms of Gods. Most importantly, even if Murong Sui Feng found out about his lie at that time, it would not affect him at all.

Duan Ling Tian had decided to reveal part of his origin to Murong Sui Feng to prevent the Hidden Fog Sect from suspecting him. After all, it was only normal that the sect would be wary of someone whose identity was a mystery.

‘The turning point for me will come in a month’s time. With the Hidden Fog Sect as a springboard, I’ll be able to enter the emperor-rank force in the future…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes lit up.

Then, he shifted his attention to the Dragon Pattern Divine Grass. He imbued the grass with his Divine Energy, and what looked like dragon scales began to surface on the grass.

‘So that’s how the grass got its name. No wonder Teacher Yu told me to imbue the grass with my Divine Energy before consuming it to unleash its full potential.’

Duan Ling Tian wasted no time in ingesting the Dragon Pattern Divine Grass. After that, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate. Since he had blocked out everything that might interfere with his cultivation, the night was peaceful.



On the contrary, the Ten Stars student could barely catch a wink of sleep. Their curiosity about Duan Ling Tian’s points that even shocked Yu Qian Shan kept them up all night.

Since word about it had spread, the other students were just as curious.

Yu Qian Shang’s strength was only second to Murong Sui Feng, the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy, after all. How could they not be curious when Duan Ling Tian’s points were able to elicit surprise from Yu Qian Shan?

It was not an exaggeration to say that all the students of the Hidden Fog Academy were eagerly waiting to find out about Duan Ling Tian’s points.



Meanwhile, Chu Feng Yang had gone to Yun Hui’s cultivation ground for a visit.

“Junior Uncle.”

Yun Hui was Chu Feng Yang’s junior uncle. He was also the teacher that was assigned to monitor the Ten Stars assessment.

Chu Feng Yang was only confident about Duan Ling Tian’s battles against Ding Yan and Hong Jun because he had heard about Duan Ling Tian’s strength from Yun Hui.

“Boy, what brings you here?” A kind and gentle smile appeared on Yun Hui’s face when he saw Chu Feng Yang. Before Chu Feng Yang could reply to his question, he added, “Did you come because of Duan Ling Tian?”

“Junior uncle, you must have heard about what happened then,” Chu Feng Yang said with a sheepish smile. Then, he said, “Junior uncle, I came to ask about Duan Ling Tian’s points. Everyone in the academy is wondering about the points he accumulated during the trial.”

“What makes you think I know?” Yun Hui asked.

“Junior uncle, Teacher Yu will definitely tell you if you ask him. After all, you’re his senior, and he respects you a lot since you saved his life when he was young,” Chu Feng Yang said as he looked at Yun Hui with an anticipatory gaze.

“I planned to ask him about it, but the dean has ordered him not to reveal Duan Ling Tian’s points. Hence, there’s nothing I can tell you. In my opinion, Duan Ling Tian’s points must be incredibly shocking,” Yun Hui said with a sigh.

Chu Feng Yang was taken aback. “The dean intervened? That’s unusual.”

It was unprecedented for Murong Sui Feng to intervene in such a trivial matter, after all.

“Indeed.” Yun Hui nodded. “I suspect Duan Ling Tian must have exceeded 50,000 points.”

“50,000 points?! T-that’s impossible, right?!” Chu Feng Yang exclaimed in shock.

“Well, we’ll find out tomorrow,” Yun Hui said.

Chu Feng Yang nodded. Then, as though he had just recalled something, he asked, “Junior uncle, I heard that the dean plans to let Duan Ling Tian join the Hidden Fog Sect as a core disciple. Is that true?”

“Yes.” Yun Hui nodded. “He has already spoken to the sect. After a month, the sect will send someone here to bring Duan Ling Tian to the sect.”

“A month? That’s fast!” Chu Feng Yang said, surprised, “From what I know, the test for core disciples will be held half a year later, right?”

Yun Hui said with a nod, “That’s right. I think the dean plans to let Duan Ling Tian enjoy the cultivation resources of an inner disciple while Duan Ling Tian waits to take the test to become a core disciple. After all, the cultivation resources of an inner disciple are much better than that of a Ten Stars student.”

“That’s true,” Chu Feng Yang said with anticipation flashing in his eyes, “Duan Ling Tian might just be able to pass the test and become a core disciple as well…”

“Perhaps…” Yun Hui nodded.

“Junior uncle, you don’t think Duan Ling Tian will be able to pass the test?” Chu Feng Yang asked. He was confused when he saw Yun Hui’s reaction.

“That’s not it. However, due to his cultivation base, the test will be more difficult for him compared to those who are already Kings of Gods. Although the test varies depending on one’s cultivation base, you should know that there weren’t any inner disciples who managed to pass the test over the past 10,000 years,” Yun Hui said as he shook his head.

Chu Feng Yan fell silent upon hearing Yun Hui’s words. He would have forgotten about that if Yun Hui did not mention it.

There were many inner disciples who participated in the test to become core disciples in the Hidden Fog Sect. However, over the past 10,000 years, no one managed to pass the test. For this reason, there were no more than 100 core disciples in the Hidden Fog Sect. Moreover, due to the difficulty of the test, even the weakest core disciple was a rudimentary King of Gods.

“I hope Duan Ling Tian will pass the core disciple test. If he manages to pass the test, he might just become the next Xue Hai Chuan!” Yun Hui said with a hint of excitement.

“Xue Hai Chuan…” Chu Feng Yang’s eyes lit up when he heard the name Xue Hai Chuan.

Xue Hai Chuan was about the same age as Chu Feng Yang. However, he had to address Xue Hai Chuan as senior when they were in the sect. Xue Hai Chuan was the last person to become a core disciple in the Hidden Fog Sect. He was now a respectable elder in the emperor-rank force that controlled the Hidden Fog Sect.. Even the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect was respectful to Xue Hai Chuan.
