Danwu God Emperor

Upon returning home, news of Ye Lou's resurrection quickly spread throughout the Ye family, surprising everyone. However, soon no one cared about it anymore, as the time for Tianyi Academy's enrollment was running out.

Although Glory City is only a second-class city, it encompasses towns and villages within a radius of thousands of miles. Tianyi Academy is also the only academy in Glory City, where countless geniuses from various families have been nurtured.

They were already geniuses when they entered Tianyi, and even more extraordinary talents when they left. Tianyi has long been a holy land for all martial arts practitioners, and a cradle for all geniuses.

Being able to step into Tianyi is the lifelong dream of countless young people.

However, getting into Tianyi is not so easy. Tianyi recruits students every three years, and only three people are recruited from each town. Wushan Town has three major families, and each major family in the town only has two spots to participate. The number of spots for ordinary people is only six in total.

Twelve people are competing for three spots!

The Fuguang Empire has been passed down for tens of millions of years, with a vast territory and a population of hundreds of millions. A small town alone has tens of thousands of people, and others are not even qualified to participate.

Ye Haotian sat on the stone steps outside the room, pondering whether or not he should let Ye Lou pursue the path of martial arts. He feared that his son would end up like him, a cripple.

Ye Haotian suddenly stood up and walked heavily toward the Ye family's council hall.

Ye Lou was studying the ancient scroll in his room when he saw his father walk by from the window. He knew what his father was going to do, so he lowered his head and continued studying. His heart was filled with unease. Finally, he put away the scroll and followed his father out.

Inside the Ye family council hall, the family head Ye Shan was discussing matters with the deputy family head Ye He when Ye Haotian slowly walked in. The two men frowned slightly, their expressions not good. In their youth, Ye Haotian was the most talented, always surpassing his two brothers.

If Ye Haotian hadn't become a cripple five years ago, the position of family head wouldn't have fallen to Ye Shan.

"Brother, why aren't you in your room retiring and waiting to die? What are you doing here in this council hall?" The two men stood on the steps, looking down at each other, their words utterly impolite.

"My two cousins, I've come here today to ask you for a favor." Ye Haotian looked dejected, but his eyes seemed to reveal a hint of determination.

They had only seen that look in each other's eyes five years ago!

Ye He glanced at Ye Shan, then sneered, "Ye Haotian, with this attitude you think you can ask us for a favor? What did you just call us?"

"Patriarch, Vice Patriarch!" Ye Haotian said, bowing his head.

"Hmph! God of War!" Ye He flicked his cloak, turned around, sat down on a wooden chair, and tilted his head, saying, "Speak, what is it?"

"Tianyi College will be recruiting students in a month. I would like to ask the two family heads to give my son Ye Lou a spot."

"What did you say?" Ye He stood up in shock. "Your good-for-nothing son thinks he can waste a precious enrollment spot in the Ye family? Get out!"

boom!

Ye He let out a cold shout, his momentum surging endlessly. Although he only used 10% of his strength, he still sent Ye Haotian flying more than ten meters away, crashing into a doorpost, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Ye Haotian clutched his chest and saw Ye Lou eavesdropping outside the door. His fists clenched and his whole body trembled.

Their eyes met for less than a moment, and Ye Haotian gave him a "go back" command with his gaze, then propped himself up and walked back up.

"Two patriarchs, please give Lou'er just one chance. I, Ye Haotian, am willing to do anything!"

"Are you really willing to do anything?" Ye Shan was taken aback, then grinned with amusement. "Ten years ago, during the competition for the position of clan head, do you remember when we fought, you beat me so badly that I was bedridden for a month?"

Ye Shan's meaning was very clear; he was obviously bringing up old grievances, leaving Ye Haotian speechless.

The three faced off for a long time. Then Ye Haotian pulled out a dagger and, with extreme decisiveness, plunged it into his left waist, causing a spurt of blood to gush out.

"Master, is that enough?"

Ye San and Ye He looked at each other in shock! Then their expressions became even more ferocious.

"And me!" Ye He said, "Six years ago..."

"No need to say anything! I'll pay!" Before Ye He could finish speaking, Ye Haotian pulled out a dagger and stabbed himself in the right waist, blood splattering everywhere!

"Fine!" Ye Shan exclaimed, "As long as you kneel down and admit your mistake, I might consider it."

Quiet, as quiet as the night!

Ye Lou was already in tears. His body slowly slid off the doorpost and sat down on the ground in defeat. He covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound. Tears slid down to the corners of Ye Lou's mouth, tears of anger and hatred.

Ye Lou had never thought of killing anyone before, yet now a murderous intent surged within him. Fortunately, a sliver of reason still held him back; to exact revenge, he had to be patient, he had to join Tianyi.

"No, Father, no!" Ye Lou shook his head weakly and cried out softly, so helpless.

Boom!

Hearing the sound of knees hitting the ground inside the room, Ye Lou's body trembled violently. Anger surged within him, and he trembled all over. He could only bite his fingers to control himself, even though they were already bitten until they were bloody and mangled.

"I was wrong!" Ye Haotian knelt on the ground, staring blankly ahead, with only one belief in his heart: he must help Ye Lou win this spot.

Lou'er, this is the only thing your father can do to help you now.

"Big brother, did you see that? This is the God of War of Wushan Town, the pride of our Ye family back then!" Ye He pointed at Ye Haotian and sneered.

Ye Shan said calmly, "You can leave now. I'll consider having Ye Lou participate in Tianyi's admissions."

"Then thank you, Patriarch." Ye Haotian stood up with difficulty. His body was not as strong as that of an ordinary person, and blood had already stained his legs. If it weren't for the belief in his heart, he would have already fainted.

Ye Haotian slowly walked out and saw Ye Lou sitting on the ground, his face full of tears, looking at him. He forced a smile on his pale face and patted Ye Lou's head.

"Don't cry, the outside world is much worse than this!"
