Danwu God Emperor

Under the blazing sun and clear blue sky, the audience below the round platform watched Ye Lou's back with envious eyes. Their gazes were sparkling as his tall figure exuded a youthful vigor.

From being initially underestimated to now having two juniors admitted to Tianyi Academy, it all feels unreal. The excitement is indescribable, and I can't help but cover my face and shed tears.

The Ye family seemed to have been pulled back from the brink of death. If neither of them had been admitted to Tianyi Academy, it was easy to foresee that a deadly battle between the families would have followed.

With the Ye family's current strength, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Nowadays, many wealthy and powerful people in Wushan Town have begun to offer gifts to the Ye family. In this world where strength is paramount, that's just how it is. Now that the two prodigies of the Ye family have entered Tianyi, if they don't curry favor with them now, they may never be able to do so again.

"He's gotten even stronger!" At that moment, in a restaurant not far from the round platform, a young woman and a beautiful woman were sitting in a private room on the second floor. Looking at the round platform through the window, the young woman couldn't help but pout and complain.

"If he doesn't get stronger, then I've misjudged him. Wanrou, Ye Lou's talent will definitely not be limited to Radiant City. Don't offend him in the future. It will only benefit the Mu family and the Fanyin Pavilion!" Aunt Lan advised earnestly.

"You lecher!" Mu Wanrou grinned and glared at Ye Lou with annoyance. How could this guy be so amazing? Even Aunt Lan praised him highly.

Although Mu Wanrou disliked him, she had to admit that Ye Lou was truly a freak. If she hadn't personally witnessed him improve from the seventh level of internal strength to the ninth level in just one month, she would have been completely skeptical.

He couldn't believe that there was such a freak who progressed so quickly.

“Aunt Lan, now that Ye Lou has become Tianyi’s student and has Tianyi’s protection, the Dong and Wu families should not dare to make a move, right? Should we withdraw our people now?” Mu Wanrou said.

"Don't! I don't think things are that simple!" Aunt Lan looked around. There were undercurrents, and at her age, she naturally saw much more than Mu Wanrou.

On the round platform, Ding Mao returned to his position and instructed, "Dong Qianqian, Ye Ping, you two also stand on the platform."

At this moment, the two people who were waiting nearby walked onto the round platform one after another, attracting envious glances from below. In particular, Dong Qianqian's graceful and charming walk was like a dream.

Her radiance surpassed Ye Ping's by ten or even a hundred times. Wherever she went, she became the center of attention, with many people even standing up, hoping to see their goddess more clearly.

"It seems you've been working hard lately. I admit you've gained some skill!" Dong Qianqian came to Ye Lou's side, the proud goddess glancing at Ye Lou like a proud princess looking down on an arrogant suitor.

"But so what? Only a fool would think that constant effort can surpass the geniuses ahead."

Ye Lou suddenly found it amusing. "You really think highly of yourself!"

Ye Lou didn't want to waste any more words on her. Faced with such a vicious woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, he couldn't tell which of her words were true or false.

Seeing that Ye Lou was staring straight ahead and didn't want to reply, Dong Qianqian let out a cold snort. She thought he was getting cocky because he had a little strength. "I'll show you the truth soon enough."

Ding Mao stepped forward, glanced at the three people standing on the round platform, and said with a light smile, "Congratulations on officially becoming students of Tianyi Academy. Next will be your exam to compete for the top three spots."

After saying that, Ding Mao took out a sandalwood box the size of a human from his Qiankun bag. The four sides of the box were carved with lifelike azure dragons swallowing clouds and spitting out mist.

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Had most of them already guessed the exam content? Yet, their faces remained etched with astonishment.

As the sandalwood surrounding the ancient box slowly unfurled, dazzling light shot straight into the sky, seemingly vying with the blazing sun, and vibrant colors appeared before everyone.

Ding Mao took out a lotus throne from the ancient box, which floated in his palm and slowly descended to the center of the round platform.

Seven Paths of Absolute Lotus!

The entire audience stood up excitedly. That was created by the founder of Tianyi Academy, and it was said that Tianyi had only used it once since it started recruiting students. Why was this year's Tianyi recruitment so different?

Ye Lou was also very surprised to see the seven lotus flowers in front of him. The center emitted a faint light, and there were only seven lotus leaves on the side. Although they were dim at the moment, it was said that when they bloomed with seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple at the same time, a celestial phenomenon would appear.

Each leaf is imbued with spiritual energy. When someone sits on it, they will sense the other person's talent, causing seven colors to light up from low to high. Being able to light up four colors is already the mark of an unparalleled genius.

Ye Lou had even heard that sitting on it offered endless benefits for cultivation.

"That's right, the seven lotuses you see are the content of this exam, the competition for the top three. It will not only test your strength, but also your talent. The three of you will take turns sitting on them and reaching out to touch the lotus leaves. The one who lights up the fewest lotus leaves will be the third place in this Wushan Town Tianyi recruitment."

After announcing the exam rules, Ding Mao glanced at the three of them. "Who wants to go first?"

"Let me go first!" Ye Ping greeted him with a smile. He no longer felt any burden. Among the three, he was the least talented and the weakest, a fact he was well aware of.

"Brother Ye Lou, I believe you can definitely get first place!" Ye Ping stopped beside the Seven Lotuses, turned around and looked at Ye Lou with a smile.

Ye Lou smiled faintly.

Ye Ping took a deep breath, and as soon as he stepped onto the lotus, the Seven Lotuses seemed to have a spirit, responding to him. When he stood in the middle of the Seven Lotuses...

Suddenly, a beam of light shot straight into the sky, enveloping him completely. Ye Ping was so frightened that he staggered. After a long pause, he cautiously reached out and touched the lotus leaf in front of him.

Everyone held their breath. The last time the Seven Lotus Recruitment Method was used, probably only a few old guys had seen it before. Most of the people here were seeing it for the first time.

The moment Ye Ping touched the lotus leaf, it moved without any wind, and a dazzling crimson light burst forth!

"It's lit up! It's lit up!"

The crowd pointed at the seven lotus blossoms above and exclaimed in surprise. Ye Ping also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he hadn't intended to compete for first place, he still hoped to see his talent reach the upper-middle level.

Ye Ping gradually relaxed, but in the end he only lit up the orange lotus flowers. No matter how he tried to sense the third lotus flower, it never lit up.

Lighting up two lotus flowers was already Ye Ping's limit. Such talent was really too ordinary in Tianyi Academy. Ye Ping was a little disappointed and consciously stepped aside.

"Which of you two will go first!" Ding Mao was more looking forward to the last two. Dong Qianqian hadn't shown her strength at all, yet she was still admitted to Tianyi Academy, while Ye Lou seemed to be able to show his stronger strength in every exam.

Moreover, the relationship between the two seems quite interesting; who is stronger and who is weaker? This intrigues Ding Mao.

"Mentor, let me go first!"

Dong Qianqian turned slightly and walked slowly forward. Everyone's eyes were burning with excitement, their hearts filled with boundless joy. Their goddess had finally made her move.

"Ye Lou, look carefully!"

Dong Qianqian walked up to the Seven Lotuses, sat cross-legged, and looked stunningly beautiful in the white light, like a fairy in a lotus. When her jade hand touched the lotus, a beam of red light shot into the sky.

Before the crowd could gasp in surprise, her other hand had already placed on another lotus flower, and an orange beam of light rose vertically.

"While you're gloating over catching up to who I used to be, I'm no longer the same person I used to be. The gap between us will only widen, and you're still stubbornly refusing to admit it!"

Dong Qianqian didn't even glance at Ye Lou's side, speaking in a very arrogant tone. Then, she placed both hands on the other two lotus leaves, and beams of yellow and green light rose up simultaneously.

Four beams of light shone brightly, surrounding her, a sight that captivated most of the boys present. While everyone was still mesmerized, a beam of light in shades of blue suddenly shot up from the ground.

Wow!

There are already five beams of light! Ding Mao and Xi Yan looked at each other, their surprise evident in their eyes. Even Liu Changfeng, who was always calm and composed, was slightly moved.

With such talent and beauty, everyone present instantly understood why the Ouyang family was willing to form a marriage alliance with the small Dong family of Wushan Town. The future Dong Qianqian would bring them even more than they had to give at this moment.

The happiest person was Dong Kuofeng. In the last Seven Lotus Extinction test, the strongest was only five beams of light. Dong Qianqian has now reached their level, or even higher.

The Dong family of the future will no longer be the Dong family of Wushan Town, but the Dong family of Guanghui City.

Five beams of light of different colors surrounded them, as if in a dream. The air seemed to freeze, and everyone eagerly awaited the lighting of the sixth beam. Would another record of the Seven Lotuses be set today?

Dong Qianqian was also quite nervous at this moment. Her jade hand slowly approached, and the exquisite lotus flower swayed in the air like a shy little girl.

"It's lit! It's lit! The sixth beam is lit too!"

Many people in the crowd shouted excitedly, seemingly even happier than if they themselves had been promoted, to witness the rise of their goddess!

Suddenly, the beam of light shot into the air like a meteorite, and then fell back down in an instant. Everything changed too quickly, and before anyone could react, the bright blue beam of light turned into a faint dim light.

Hey!

A collective sigh rippled through the audience, and Dong Qianqian herself looked disappointed. However, even so, her brilliance remained dazzling; five beams of light were not something an ordinary martial artist could ignite!

Dong Qianqian got up and left the Seven Lotuses, returning to her original position. Her face showed no displeasure at her failure to break through the blue beam of light; instead, she looked at Ye Lou with disdain.

"Now you understand! I gave you a chance last night, but you didn't cherish it!"

"Now it's my turn!"
