The Sky Poison Pearl
Ao Yan's

The young man removed his hand from the appraisal stone as a faint smile of pride and confidence hung on his face. He proudly looked at the young profound practitioners who had passed the examination as well as those waiting to be examined, and said: “This lowly one is Ao Yan, I want to receive a lot of advice from everyone who will be under the same wing from now on. However, with regards to the number one seat in this group, this lowly one definitely got it. ”

This attitude of Ao Yan was extremely arrogant. However, as the ninth levsr of the Nascent Realm who was only seventeen years old, he was entitled to be proud. Some discussion about him also started below; everyone finally realized that this Ao Yan was from the Great Desert City in the west. His family fully deserved the number one title in the Great Desert City, and was stronger than any of the local sects.

"Next, Yun Che," the old man's voice sounded once more.

"Sister-in-law, it's your turn!" Hearing Yun Che's name, Xia Yuanba instantly became excited.

Yun Che stood in front of the appraisal Stone, stretched out his right palm and pressed down on the Penilaisn Stone while slightly awakening the energy.

The Rating Stone directly revealed the light.

“Sixteen year old, Newborn Realm level ten, qualified.”

As the old man shouted out this result, a burst of exclamation instantly sounded from the surroundings. The lines of gaze containing admiration were many times more intense than before focused onto Yun Che's body. Ao Yan's previous result was enough to make everyone exclaim and envy, yet the young man who came after him, possessed a magic power that was actually one rank higher than Ao Yan. And their difference was even more than that; his age was actually younger than Ao Yan by one year. If Yun Che had also reached the age of seventeen, his superiority over Ao Yan this was definitely not just one simple level.

The facial expression of Ao Yan, who was extremely pleased with himself while standing at the side, instantly froze. Both of his eyes stared intently at the results of the Rating Stone, and he did not dare to believe his own eyes. Soon, his face began to gradually heat up... A moment ago, he arrogantly stated that the number one seat in this group would definitely belong to him; but right after that, someone even younger than him, immediately caught up with him. The words he had spoken earlier, it was as if he had slapped his own face.

“Haha, only half a step away from the True Realm at sixteen years old, very good!” The old man slowly nodded as he revealed a sincere smile of approval on his face: “You are the most outstanding of all the examinees I received today. If you can retain your talent, perhaps with just two years time, you can enter the Middle Palace. Work hard."

Yun Che nodded, and walked over to the passing group in a very calm manner. Yet countless gazes still continued to follow him, and whispers continued to echo from the surroundings.

"Who is this guy? He's certainly also the son of a big family, right?”

“This brother is here, you really are too amazing. You are only sixteen years old, yet you are already close to reaching the True Realm! I... I wonder what is the name of that big brother?”

Right after Yun Che stood in the group, the fifteen-year-old youth who was the first to pass the examination had already approached and looked at him with a face full of admiration. When the old man shouted Yun Che's name earlier, he didn't hear it clearly.

Yun Che remembered that this fifteen year old youth was named Yun Xiaofan, who had the same surname as him, Yun. His gaze was also very pure and he looked very simple. He smiled and said: “My name is Yun Che. As I recall, your name is Yun Xiaofan, right?”

"Really, right!" Seeing that Yun Che actually remembered his name, Yun Xiaofan's face was full of excitement as he spoke in a pleasant tone of surprise: “Ah? Your first name is Yun too? What a coincidence!”

“It was destiny.” Yun Che said with a smile, and had a very good impression of this Yun Xiaofan.

"Hehe," He originally thought that someone with a frightening result would be a proud and aloof person. He didn't expect her to be so friendly. The inside of Yun Xiaofan's heart was also very warm; his nervousness was slightly reduced, and the respect in his gaze instead increased a little more: “Sister Yun, where are you from? Since you are so amazing, you must be the son of a very great family, right?

Yun Che shook his head with a smile: “I am not a child of a large family, and just an ordinary person. Oh right, I'm from Floating Cloud city?”

"Eh, Floating Cloud City?" Yun Xiaofan froze and then thought hard for a moment, to then reveal an embarrassed expression: “I am still young and have little experience. Looks like I've never heard the name of this city before.”

“Hmph! This was just a small town in the north that was not even bigger than a city. Not even a few know of such a place where even birds do not want to defecate; and those who do not know it, even more.”

A snide voice came from their side. Ao Yan looked at Yun Che with a glance. After hearing Yun Che say that he was not the son of a large family but an ordinary person, and even came from the so-called smallest city of the Blue Wind Empire, disgust immediately sprouted in his heart. He said while grunting coldly: “Yun Che, don't think that you are great just because your power rank is higher than mine. Strength did not represent combat power; only practitioners with strong arts and skills were worthy of being called true practitioners. But unfortunately, it was impossible to be understood by a practitioner like you who came from a small place. Even though your strength is one rank higher than mine, but let alone one rank; even if it is three rank higher.

Facing Ao Yan's provocation and humiliation, Yun Che only nonchalantly glanced at him once before withdrawing his gaze. He had somewhat paid a little attention to it before, but now, he had instantly ignored it to the extreme; let alone responding, he did not even bother to look at it again. For someone as brash, arrogant, and arrogant as this, whose IQ might be a little low, the evaluation Yun Che gave was only one word: "Junk". He was not qualified to be his friend, and was even more unqualified to be his enemy. He reckoned that his profound strength, too, was piled up by force using his family's resources.
