Dragon Hidden in the Sky

The banquet is still going on!

Chen Sixue sat in the main seat.

In fact, the main reason she was the one who initiated this banquet was because her combat power was almost universally recognized as one of the strongest in this battle of geniuses!

He is also the biggest favorite to win the Genius Battle!

The banquet was not very lively at this time because of Yun Jin and Ye Qing's matter.

Chen Sixue sat there, her chin resting on her hand, her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Just then, a man from the academy asked.

Chen Sixue shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that Ye Qing is quite interesting."

"Interesting?" the person from the academy asked in confusion.

Chen Sixue nodded and said, "In fact, I don't dislike him. Whether it's him or Yun Jin, arranging them there was not my original intention, as you know."

"This was an opportunity given to them by the higher-ups, but they didn't seize it!" The person from the academy shook his head.

“In this battle of geniuses, countless people from lower civilizations want to enter the Heavenly Court, no matter the cost!” Chen Sixue said, “Everyone here is the same. Apart from Yun Jin and Ye Qing, everyone else has chosen to join the Heavenly Court’s forces.”

“This would bring endless benefits to the civilization behind them!” Chen Sixue said, “But they did not choose to join! And these two are the same; to put it bluntly, there is no civilization behind them! Yun Jin came from the Chaotic Star Sea, and the civilization behind Ye Qing is a no-man's-land, not even a civilization, just a gathering place for countless exiles.”

"So they have no desire for the advancement of civilization!" Chen Sixue said, "And Yun Jin, when faced with my arrangements, chose to confront them head-on! His attitude was tough!"

"Just as Cao Luo said, Ye Qing originally intended to endure it," Chen Sixue said. "If I hadn't provoked him, it would have passed."

"But he's not weak either. After we provoked him, he couldn't bear it, and he was no less ruthless than Yun Jin!" Chen Sixue said. "Especially his murderous aura at the end, and his last few words, I found them very interesting. Perhaps, after we get to the island, I can go and have a chat with him!"

"You're going to spare them?" the person from the academy asked.

Chen Sixue shook her head and said, "Just have a chat with him for a bit, and then kill him! After all... the Heavenly Court doesn't need any beings that are beyond its control."

"With the soul attribute combined with the magician's ability, and the other one being able to devour, killing him will be quite difficult!" The person from the academy squinted.

Beside him, Cao Luo kept stuffing something into his mouth. He lowered his head, and there was a hint of tears in his eyes.

"Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" he muttered to himself, gritting his teeth as he chewed. "Is...it too late?"

……

Ye Qing headed straight outside the palace!

He did not regret what he had just said.

In fact, whether he is tough or not, it won't change anything.

As long as he doesn't choose to join a top-tier power, those people will never let him go.

Since that's the case, there's no difference at all!

Stepping out of the palace, he frowned and said, "Sigh, things are more complicated than I imagined. I hope that woman from the Blue Sun Star System won't disappoint me!"

"You really came out!" Just then, a voice rang in Ye Qing's ear.

Ye Qing looked up and saw Yun Jin standing not far away, looking him up and down.

"You knew I was coming out?" Ye Qing looked at him strangely.

“Of course!” Yun Jin said, “I’ve investigated. There are fifty-four people attending this banquet, and you and I are the only two who haven’t joined any faction. We just happen to be at the end, so their goal is most likely to humiliate us and force us to join a faction first so that we can be controlled by them!”

"So I'm too lazy to waste words with them, I'll just turn on them first!" Yun Jin said, "And you? Why did you come out?"

"After you left, he asked me directly whether I was convinced or not!" Ye Qing said.

"Is this guy taking a dump on your head and then you just came out?" Yun Jin asked.

"I got a scolding before I came out," Ye Qing said.

"Good brother!" Yun Jin said, "But do you have any backup plans?"

"What backup plan?" Ye Qing asked.

"How to leave after the Genius Battle is over!" Yun Jin asked.

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "You're not going to join the Heavenly Court after you've finished?"

"Stop pretending. You certainly wouldn't join the Heavenly Court, and you surely know that joining would result in a soul mark being planted on your soul," Yun Jin said. "Once that soul mark is planted, you're completely at their mercy. I know you wouldn't just sit here and wait to die, would you?"

"So, you have a backup plan?" Ye Qing asked.

"Of course!" Yun Jin said, "How could I let these people control me? I will tear this Heavenly Court apart sooner or later! If you don't have any backup plans, you can stay by my side in the future. The fact that you were able to climb to the 25th floor of the Ascension Tower proves that you have some strength."

Ye Qing glanced at Yun Jin with a half-smile and said, "Then forget it, I have no interest in being someone's lackey!"

"Ye Qing!" Just then, a voice rang out, and Wang Zhe quickly ran over from not far away, asking, "How did it go? Did you give him the recommendation letter?"

"No!" Ye Qing shook his head and said, "There wasn't enough time, some unexpected things happened inside!"

"What's wrong?" Wang Zhe asked.

"We fought with the people from the nine major forces! Brother, do you want to join us and hunt them down after entering the Genius Battle?" Yun Jin asked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhe silently took a few steps back, then turned around and said, "I'm so hungry, I need to go find something to eat!"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and soon distanced himself from Ye Qing and the others.

Yun Jin smiled and said, "What about you? After we enter the island, will you join forces with me?"

"We'll talk about it later!" Ye Qing said.

“If you want to join forces, come find me at the Holy Mountain!” Yun Jin said.
