Danwu God Emperor

Ye Lou walked slowly forward, brushing past Dong Qianqian. Their eyes met, cold and terrifying, but at this moment, his figure seemed incredibly small, as Dong Qianqian's radiance completely overshadowed him.

"Dong Qianqian's talent is simply too monstrous. She has five beams of light, and she was even just a little short of breaking through to the sixth. Although Ye Lou is a genius of his generation, he is ultimately not worthy of her."

"Although they are both geniuses of their generation, the gap between them is still too obvious!"

People in the crowd gradually began to understand why the Dong family was unwilling to form a marriage alliance with the Ye family. It would be better for Dong Qianqian and even better for Ye Lou. It would be too tiring for two people of unequal strength to live together.

At this moment, Ye Lou was already sitting cross-legged on the Seven Lotuses, glancing indifferently at Dong Qianqian beside him. He exuded a mischievous boyish charm, but his heart was burning with a passion for martial arts.

Ye Lou placed one hand on the lotus leaf in front of him, and the scene was completely silent. Even the seven lotuses in front of him, whose crimson beams should have lit up long ago, did not react at all.

"How could this be? Could it be that Ye Lou can't even light a single crimson beam? Does that mean he's even inferior to Ye Ping?!" Everyone wore expressions of disbelief. Was the strength he displayed on stage earlier all an illusion? How could this be!

Not only are the audience below unable to accept the reality before them, but even Liu Changfeng is astonished, as the Seven Lotuses have never failed to light up a single crimson beam before.

Ding Mao and Xi Yan were stunned, the Ye family was anxious, but the Dong family was overjoyed.

"I told you long ago you're a piece of trash. You call yourself a prodigy? You're not even as good as me. Don't go up there and show off. Get down here and stop embarrassing yourself!" The Dong family wouldn't let it go, and some people below were already mocking them.

A faint, cold smile appeared on Dong Qianqian's lips. "It seems that the ninth level of internal strength is your limit. With such talent, the gap between us is probably not just a little bit, but a world apart."

"How is this going?"

Ye Lou was also at a loss. It didn't make sense that his talent was so poor. After being modified by the ancient scroll, his talent allowed him to learn martial arts techniques by sight and improve his strength without encountering any bottlenecks. How could such a talent not be able to be lit up by a single beam of light?

Could this thing be broken? Ye Lou couldn't help but lean closer to take a look at the lotus leaf.

hum!

Suddenly, a beam of light shot into the sky and shone directly on Ye Lou's face, startling him so much that he immediately pulled his head back, his eyes bulging wide open.

hum!

hum!

hum!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

The crowd erupted in chaos as four beams of light suddenly shot up. Everything happened so suddenly that some people present didn't even have time to react.

"This...this..." Many people were completely speechless upon seeing this scene.

Ye Lou stared blankly at his right hand. He had only touched a lotus leaf with one hand, so why did four beams of light up at the same time?

A hand pressing down on a lotus leaf illuminates a beam of light—this has always been the case with the Seven Lotuses. But how can we explain illuminating four beams of light simultaneously?

Dingmao was unaware, Xiyan was unaware, and the two turned to look at Liu Changfeng.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Changfeng also looked at them with a wry smile. His face, which rarely showed any change in expression, seemed to have four words written on it: "I don't know."

No one could explain the reason for such a spectacle, but they finally realized that Ye Lou's talent was also terrifyingly strong. Could it be that he could surpass Dong Qianqian?

"Hahaha! Good! Who just said my son is a good-for-nothing? If you're so capable, step forward and let everyone see how many beams you can light up!" Ye Haotian shouted at the Dong family without looking to the side, his face full of disdain.

The speaker blushed, too ashamed to speak. If Ye Lou hadn't actually lit a beam of light, he was indeed inferior to him, and such mockery was understandable.

But Ye Lou not only lit up, but also lit up this unprecedented spectacle at the same time.

"Hmph, so what if you lit them up? It's only four beams. Our Qianqian lit up five beams. Ye Haotian, what gives you the right to be so smug here!" At this moment, an elder of the Dong family stood up and said dismissively.

An invisible war has already begun to spread between the two sides.

"Is Wudao very powerful?" Ye Lou asked involuntarily. Before he finished speaking, a hand had already landed on another lotus leaf!

hum!

As expected, the cyan beam shot straight into the sky again, this time without any pause or simultaneous illumination of multiple beams.

There were only five beams of light around Ye Lou, and he used facts to slap the face of that elder of the Ye family hard.

"We've caught up! Ye Lou has also activated his fifth beam of light!"

The people in the audience were looking at Ye Lou as if he were a monster. Dong Qianqian had been exceptionally talented since childhood and had always been the pride of the Dong family. But what about Ye Lou's past?

He was a complete waste, that's common knowledge. Just a few months ago, when he killed Ye San on the street, he was only at the fifth level of internal energy. How long has it been? Not only has he reached the ninth level of internal energy, but he also has unparalleled talent.

Is this really the Ye family's good-for-nothing?

Ye Haotian burst into loud laughter: "Are five beams of light really that strong?"

The entire Dong family was now flushed with anger, yet powerless to refute it. Dong Kuofeng, in particular, was visibly furious, his veins bulging. This should have been a stage for Dong Qianqian to showcase her talent and strength, but instead, the good-for-nothing he looked down upon had stolen the spotlight.

How can this be tolerated!

"Xi Yan, do you think Ye Lou can light up the blue beam?" Ding Mao turned his head and asked with interest, he was becoming more and more interested in Ye Lou.

Xi Yan pouted. Although she was a mentor, she was only in her early twenties, and her words and actions were full of playfulness.

“Well…we in the West Campus have probably over a hundred people who can light up five beams, but we estimate no more than ten who can light up the sixth blue beam, and only one or two who can light up the seventh. As for Ye Lou, I don’t think he can do it.”

"I think it's okay!" Ding Mao simply expressed his attitude, very confidently.

Ye Lou placed his other hand on the slightly shimmering lotus leaf again. Everyone held their breath, and even Dong Qianqian bit her lower lip as she watched everything.

hum!

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

"Ye Lou really lit up the blue beam; his talent is even higher than Dong Qianqian's!"

Everyone's eyes burned with fervor, their fingers pointing into the air as they gazed at the beam of light that shone with six colors, as if looking towards an unattainable dream. At this moment, Ye Lou was bathed in a colorful halo, and even the blazing sun could not conceal his radiance.

"Good! Ye Lou! Good!" Ye Haotian clenched his fists excitedly, tears almost welling up in his eyes. He had been waiting for this day for far too long, so long that he had almost forgotten how much time had passed.

Inside a private room of a restaurant.

"What are you so happy about?" Aunt Lan asked with a malicious smile.

Mu Wanrou was so engrossed in watching that she was only brought back to her senses by Aunt Lan's call, and she began to feign composure and make excuses.

"No way, Aunt Lan, you're making fun of me!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Aunt Lan asked in return.

"Oh dear, Aunt Lan, if you keep doing this, I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"

Mu Wanrou stomped her feet in frustration, which made Aunt Lan laugh out loud. Then she turned to look at Ye Lou, who was shining brightly on the round platform below, and sighed helplessly in her heart.

Young man, it's a blessing or a destiny that Wanrou has taken notice of you.

Following Mu Wanrou's gaze, the number of people in the square grew larger and larger. Thousands of people crowded together, witnessing how the genius on the stage was born and waiting for the seventh beam of light to be lit.

"Do you think that just because your talent surpasses mine, you can prove anything? Even if you get into Tianyi, it's still just an academy. No matter how talented you are, they will still hold back. But I have the Ouyang family behind me. Soon, we will be family. The resources I receive will be endless, enough to make you look up to me in the dust!"

To be honest, Dong Qianqian's expression was not good. It should have been the time for him to be the focus of everyone's attention, but instead, he became a stepping stone to highlight Ye Lou. However, she was not moved at all. Moreover, what she said made sense. There are many students in Tianyi Academy. Unless one is the chosen one, it is impossible to give everything.

"You're pathetic. I'll show you just how big the gap is between us." As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lou's other hand touched the last lotus leaf that hadn't been lit yet.

hum!

"The seventh purple beam has lit up!"

"It's so dazzling!"

"I can't see Ye Lou anymore!"

The thousands of people in the square stood in awe, their hearts filled with awe. The seven-colored beams of light shone brightly, like a golden bridge, majestic and soaring into the sky. Gazing at the magnificent sight before them, the crowd could hardly believe their eyes. In their lifetime, they had actually witnessed the perfect presentation of the Seven Lotuses.

Ding Mao shook his head with a satisfied smile. "That kid!"

A beam of seven-colored light formed a pillar that enveloped Ye Lou, with lotus petals drifting down from its center, like lotus spirits, dancing in the air, their vibrant beauty breathtaking.

"Aunt Lan, so beautiful!" Mu Wanrou excitedly twirled around in place, like a little fairy.

Everyone held the flower petals in their hands and gently sniffed them. They immediately felt a refreshing warmth flow through their bodies, making them feel refreshed and their muscles and bones felt relaxed. Only then did they realize that the flower petals were also beneficial to martial artists.

Suddenly I realized, so this is the legend of the Seven Lotuses!

What the crowd didn't know was that Ye Lou was the one who was receiving the greatest benefit at this moment. The Seven Absolute Lotuses continuously helped Ye Lou cleanse his marrow and strengthen his body, making it even more robust. Now, his body was probably comparable to that of a first-level Spirit Induction Realm cultivator, and his strength was also rapidly rising to the peak of the ninth level of Inner Strength.

Just one step away from entering the Spirit Guiding Realm.

Moreover, at this moment, something very strange happened to the Seven Lotuses, which shocked Ye Lou. Another lotus leaf appeared in front of him, a lotus leaf that was exactly the same as the other seven.

"Could there be an eighth beam of light?"

Ye Lou looked astonished and carefully placed his right hand down. The beam of light was colorful and dazzling, and it was impossible to see if there were any new beams of light. The same was true for the people outside.

But there was one person who saw it clearly!

Liu Changfeng suddenly stood up, his slightly narrowed eyes seemingly able to see through everything, his face full of horror, and even his back was already cold, because only he saw that in the middle of the seven-colored beam of light, there was an extremely thin black beam of light spiraling upwards.
