The Sovereign’s Ascension

er Yang is here!”

“Judging from Senior Brother Yang’s expression, he must be confident.
If nothing goes wrong, he should be the ultimate winner in the competition.”

“Senior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Lu might also be in the pinnacle Yin stage, but they are still slightly weaker than Senior Brother Yang.”

“Hehe, I wonder if Lin Yun will come.
It ’ll be fun if he comes.”

“As if.
Just look at Senior Brother Yang’s aura.
Even some core disciples in the top ten might not be able to defeat him.”

“I don’t think that way.
After all, Lin Yun is someone who obtained the Infernal Flower.” Yang Xiong’s appearance instantly caused an uproar in the surroundings.
His grudge with Lin Yun had been spread throughout the academy on purpose.

“That fellow is really annoying,” muttered Bai Yi.

Gong Ming smiled bitterly, “Junior Sister Bai, lower your voice.
The core disciples in the top ten can’t participate in this competition and no one is willing to offend Yang Xiong here.
Because of this, he does have the qualification to be arrogant with his strength.”

But just when Bai Yi was about to reply, a beam of light descended down from the sky as three figures appeared.
The two figures on the side were dressed in purple robes.
They were Tang Yu and Yu Mu.
Between them was a white-clothed elder that emitted an unfathomable aura.

“Lord Dean!” Everyone’s faces changed because they never expected that the dean would show up.
Even Yang Xiong was surprised.
Even if he knew that the flower king might show up this time, it shouldn’t be worth attracting the attention of the dean.

“Greetings, Lord Dean!” Everyone cupped their hands together.

“I’ve been in seclusion and I rarely show myself.
I’m surprised that all of you remember me,” smiled the white-clothed elder.
He seemed amicable and his voice could be heard by everyone even though it wasn’t loud.
“The competition this time is the same.
You guys will compete based on your own capabilities.
But…”

He left everyone in suspense when he paused briefly.
He then continued after everyone became quiet, “If I’m right, Nine Petals Profound Yin Flower, also known as the flower king, should appear this time.”

The white-clothed elder chuckled and dropped another bomb, “I’ll personally refine a fourth grade pellet for the person who can obtain the flower king.”

“Fourth grade pellet!” Everyone was shocked.
Even the Profound Yin Pellet could only be considered a third grade pellet.
So the price of a fourth grade pellet naturally went without saying.
Only fourth grade spiritualists could refine a fourth grade pellet and there weren’t many fourth grade spiritualists in the Nether Prefectural City, not to mention that it would be personally refined by the dean.

But shortly after, everyone smiled bitterly and looked at Yang Xiong.
If everything went smoothly, the fourth grade pellet would go to Yang Xiong.
Only a few disciples had reluctance in their eyes.

Yang Xiong wore a smug face as he could see the reluctance in many people’s eyes.
He sneered inwardly at the incapability of their strength.
If they really tried to snatch the flower king from him, then he would teach them a lesson they would never forget.

“Then, let us begin,” smiled the white-clothed elder.
Shortly after, the thick mist began to dissipate, and a lake appeared before everyone.
When the lake was revealed, everyone’s eyes instantly blazed with flames.
But right at this moment, there was a ray of golden light on the somewhat dim lake.

Everyone fell into deep thoughts because no sunlight could enter here normally.
When they turned back, they saw a golden figure coming in this direction.
The golden radiance was so bright that many people were forced to squint their eyes.

Who was it? Right when everyone was baffled, a faint figure passed through the thick mist and landed on the ground.
When everyone took a closer look at the newcomer, their faces changed.
The newcomer was naturally Lin Yun.

Lin Yun looked at the lake and revealed a smile, “Looks like I’m not late.”
