"What are you guys thinking? Is Elder Brother Disciple Feng Yan really Lord Lian's illegitimate son?" inside the female dormitory of Hu Yang Academy, a young girl with a mottled face asked the other three girls with her, a gossipy expression all over her face.
If Ling Han was here, he would definitely recognize that one of the girls here was Shen Zi Yan.
"I would think so. Otherwise, why would Master Lian be so protective of him? That means against the Imperial Family!" said a young girl whose hair was tied in two braids.
"Perhaps, but who knew that he might be the illegitimate son of his illegitimate son?" a young girl dressed in green asked.
Shen Zi Yan did not say a word. He was the most talented student in Grey Cloud Academy, which was something that always made him proud. But ever since he entered Hu Yang Academy, he knew that he was only a frog at the bottom of a well. Anyone here was not weaker than him in terms of talent, and the majority was stronger than him.
Moreover, he came from a lowly background, and in this Academy that had gathered all the youths from noble backgrounds, he was naturally unable to raise his head. Within a short month, all of his pride and arrogance had disappeared.
"What kind of riots did Elder Brother Disciple Feng have with Ling Han that he would let his brother gather evidence of Ling Han's misdeeds, and would even promise a reward for information?" the braided girl asked curiously.
When Shen Zi Yan heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Shen's Little Sister, you are from Da Yuan City, and Little Sister Disciple Feng and that Ling Han also came from there. Do you know what kind of grievances there are between them?" the mottled young girl asked Shen Zi Yan, suddenly recalling that the latter was also from Da Yuan City.
Shen Zi Yan's expression darkened, and she said, "Ling Han is a stupid, incompetent, despicable, and vulgar character! Do you all know how he managed to apply to the Academy?"
"No!" the other three girls shook their heads.
"He begged his father who used his own life to trade for this opportunity to enroll in the Academy!" Shen Zi Yan stated, smiling coldly.
"What, how could such a person exist?" the other three girls were shocked.
"Of course!" Shen Zi Yan continued to smear Ling Han's name, "Have you ever heard of the Dark Demon Forest?"
"En, id, id. We've heard of it before. It was an extremely dangerous place that even Tier Pedestal Spirit elites would not dare to enter!" the three girls nodded.
"I heard that over a hundred years ago, a member of Hu Yang Academy entered the Dark Demon Forest and lost a treasure inside, so Ling Han's father managed to make a deal with the Academy. He would enter the Dark Demon Forest to retrieve that supreme treasure, and Ling Han would be able to enter Hu Yang Academy, "said Shen Zi Yan.
"He's really despicable!"
"What an unfilial child!"
The mottled young girl and the other two girls all shook their heads at this. He was practically trash, actually asking his father to take great risks and bear great danger just for himself to be able to enter the Academy.
Shen Zi Yan smiled coldly. Rumors had the highest demand, and in a few days, Ling Han would be the rat that everyone wanted to strangle. He hated Ling Han – This insults had started ever since the engagement contract between Ling Han and himself had been set. However, after Ling Han's sudden rise to power, this insult had turned completely into hatred.
She really did not want others to laugh at her behind, taunting her for being blind and losing her perfect husband. Therefore, he wanted to discredit Ling Han and make him lose his reputation and good reputation.

Ling Han advanced very quickly, and after only four days, he had broken through to the seventh layer of the Element Gathering Tier.
But he's not the fastest. There was another monster that was even more than him.
The spirit base of the little girl was not only very strange, it also had the ability to absorb Spiritual Qi which was no weaker than Ling Han. Moreover, after he had hatched from the egg, he had somehow obtained a cultivation technique that completely matched the fast speed at which the Heavenly Spirit Base absorbed the Spiritual Qi.
Just from this aspect, he was definitely no slower than Ling Han. More importantly, he could still eat.
His ability to be able to turn any food he consumed into Origin Power by himself did not disappear after he had successfully awakened his Spirit Base. On the other hand, this ability had even become stronger. Thus, after just five days, the little girl had reached the ninth layer of the Body Refining Tier.
However, he did not know if the barrier separating the various major tiers would be able to hold it for a while. After all, breaking through this barrier involved understanding and understanding his cultivation level, and energy was not the only thing required to break through.
However, this was not a problem for him at all.
After a day, Hu Niu quietly stepped into the Element Gathering Tier, so smoothly as if it was as easy as drinking water for him.
Ling Han did not know what else to say. Could Hu Niu also be the reincarnation of a powerful and majestic existence like him? That's not impossible. After all, the Spirit Base in the little girl's dantian was really too strange. Not only did it take the form of an incredible beauty, it could even open its eyes and almost obliterate Ling Han's spirit.
And in the eyes of the Liu brothers, these two people, big and small, were undoubtedly both monsters. They had watched as this second cultivation level surged within a short few days, making them feel that this was completely unreal.
Indeed, their cultivation levels were higher than Ling Han and Hu Niu. However, one should know that this was only possible because they had used up all the resources of the Falling Flower Court, that allowed them to reach the high layers in the Gushing Spring Tier under the age of twenty. However, their future progress could only depend on their own efforts and talents.
But when they saw the monstrous speed that the two of them were developing, it was clear they could continue advancing in this way even in the higher realms, and it was a truly frightening thing.
Ling Han wanted to use Hu Niu's cultivation technique as a reference, but the little girl couldn't describe it clearly no matter how hard she tried. He could only reveal that it was as if this cultivation technique was something he knew instinctively, and naturally knew how to circulate this cultivation technique. He did not need to understand it, nor could he read it.
On the other hand, because of Shen Zi Yan, Ling Han's name as 'reprehensible son' had spread throughout the Academy, and everyone thought that Ling Han had forced his father to sell his life in order to get into the Academy, causing them to become disgusted by his unfilial actions.
In this way, Feng Luo became the representative of the truth. The matter of the expulsion of Wei He Le has even been brought to the surface again, as some suggest a retrial. Who knew that Wei He Le was persecuted.
"What are we doing now? Everyone talks bad about you." Liu Yu Tong came and gritted his teeth naturally when he mentioned the rumors. Anyone who came from Da Yuan City would naturally know that Ling Han had entered the Academy because he got first place in the Tournament, but the spread of mass gossip confused right and wrong, he said, and no one will believe the truth.
"I know I'm innocent, and if someone else wants to wag their tongue, let it go. But if they dare to say these things in front of me, I will punch the entire mouth of their teeth," Ling Han said without a care . As someone who had once been a Heaven Tier supreme warrior, he would naturally not care about what others thought of him.
When he displayed his invincible martial arts abilities, all rumors would be naturally destroyed.
Kou, kou, kou. A knock sounded from the door, and as the door was not closed, a beautiful face appeared and said, "Is Master Ling here?"
Liu Yu Tong turned to look at him, and could not stop a strange expression from appearing on him. Ling Han's luck with the women was really a bit too strong. He had just stepped into the Imperial City for a short time, and he had already known so many different beautiful girls?
Ling Han also looked at this visitor, and could not help but smile as he said, "Silly little girl, why are you looking for me?"
That beautiful girl was Yun Shuang Shuang. At first, he was in a good mood, but when he heard Ling Han's words, he immediately became angry, and said quickly, "Milady wants to invite you to the Cherishing Flower Pavilion so that she can personally thank you!"
"Oh, when?" Ling Han asked.
"If Mr. Ling doesn't do anything important, please come tonight."
"All right!" Ling Han nodded. Indeed, he did not have anything urgent to do tonight.
