"I have already merged with a Destiny Stone and even awakened the fate soul of the eighth heaven in a short amount of time!" Qin Yueshuang said calmly, his gaze sweeping across the representatives of all the sects present one by one.

"Perhaps, I might not be a problem now, but I believe that with my current aptitude, I will grow up in the Tian Xing Holy Sect. After ten years, no one will be able to beat me!" Qin Yueshuang's expression was calm as she faced the crowd. A holy aura exploded, and above her head, a purple crescent moon slowly rotated, shooting out threads of multicolored light that converged onto the top of her head.

Although Qin Yueshuang did not say it clearly, she was threatening her. Whoever dared to take Tang Ao as their enemy!

Unfortunately, Qin Yueshuang's words had too much of an impact!

For example, in the future, who would be willing to fight against a fully mastered Dao Body of Heaven's Mandate?

"Then... "These two young friends?" The Third Elder of the Heavenly Moon Sect spoke out as she looked somewhat embarrassedly at the unconscious Children of the Qin family, who was standing foolishly on the stage.

This time, all the sects were in a tacit understanding and no one spoke a word.

The aptitudes of these two people were simply too poor. They could easily catch a large amount of them on the continent, so none of the sects were willing to take them in.

At this time, Qin Wudao walked out, and when he passed by Tang Ao, he revealed a cold smile. He then turned around and spoke to the elders from the Tian Xing Holy Sect: "Seniors, these two juniors are slightly lacking in strength, we will leave them for later when we have achieved success in cultivation, then let them take the assessment again!"

At the foot of the stairs, the elders nodded in agreement. Even the Seventh Elder who had promised the Qin family was also like that, although their condition was that they must bring Qin Xinghuo before they would agree to be elected to Tian Xing Holy Sect.

But Qin Xinghuo had already been eliminated, even though an accident had occurred. However, Patriarch Seven had fulfilled his agreement. Looking at those two men on the stage, he didn't dare to bring them back. Otherwise, he would be scolded by the First Elder!

Under Qin Wudao's instructions, a few Children of the Qin family walked out of the crowd and rode their severely injured and unconscious companions away.

Qin Yueshuang also did not say anything. Her expression was extremely calm, and her gaze on Tang Ao carried a tinge of ridicule.

The examination ended, and the surrounding crowd dispersed amidst the discussion. Being protected by the Tian Xing Holy Sect, Qin Yueshuang returned to the Qin family.

Although Tang Ao had passed the examination, no one dared to take him in due to Qin Yueshuang's implied threat.

"Ha ha!" Tang Ao sneered, the anger in his heart reaching the extreme. This woman was ruthless and would do anything to reach her goal. Now, she had actually succeeded in turning him into an abandoned disciple!

"If that's the case, then when you grow up in ten years, I'll kill you!" Killing intent flashed in Tang Ao's eyes, and even his knuckles had lost all color.

"Little friend, can you consider joining my Unparalleled Martial School?"

"My Devil Sect is not afraid of that little girl's threats. Are you willing to join?"

After Qin Yueshuang left, some people came to find Tang Ao. They were all from small sects in the Eastern Region, determined to recruit him.

However, Tang Ao already had a plan in his heart, and he rejected all of them one by one. Walking down the stage, he and Nangong Xue left the place together.

"I never thought that Qin Yueshuang that girl would actually be so vicious!" Along the way, Nangong Xue kept cursing as he tried to redress Tang Ao's grievances.

This time, even the two servants behind him nodded their heads in agreement, feeling that this made sense.

"It doesn't matter, she's not enough to threaten me!" Tang Ao said in a relaxed manner. He was no longer angry, but had a trace of a smile in his eyes.

Nangong Xue was slightly taken aback, unable to comprehend why he would say such a thing.

In the restaurant, the two of them raised their cups and drank to their heart's content. Only after noon did they get up.

"Oh right, Brother Tang, I will be returning to my clan this afternoon. There are some matters that need me to take care of!"

"Alright, I will pay a visit to the Nangong Clan if I have the chance!" Tang Ao said, and then parted with Nangong Xue.

Nangong Xue was a big fat guy with a straightforward personality. Even though he looked big and big, he was actually a very smart guy. Tang Ao had a good impression of him and thought that he was a good friend that should be befriended.

After sending Nangong Xue off, he headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.

On the way, everyone was talking about the assessment today.

After today's matter, some people in the city began to feel some dissatisfaction towards the Qin family. Although they were one of the top great clans in the Bluestone City, but to act so brazenly, it was truly a little too much!

Moreover, when they thought about Tang Ao suddenly annulling the engagement, some of them started to suspect that it was not as simple as they thought!

A week had passed since the assessment.

This matter also gradually faded from people's mouths, and very few people brought it up again.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Tang Ao sat crossed legged beside a crystal clear lake. Ever since the end of the exam, he had been silently cultivating in his residence.

After seven days of diligent cultivation, not only had the internal injuries he had suffered during the assessment completely recovered, his strength had also improved!

However, he still did not step into the third heaven.

There were a total of forty-nine small realms within the seven secret realms. They were also known as the forty-nine Layered Heavens.

The path of a cultivator was bumpy. The difference in strength between each Heavenly Layer was extremely small. Hence, every level was extremely difficult to break through, and the further one went, the harder it was to advance.

In the thousands and millions of cultivators in Xuanhuang Continent, there were very few who could escape the grasp of nature. For many people, even when they were born, they wouldn't be able to move forward by much. This was the limit.

Training was already so difficult, let alone awakening a Fate Soul! Although some people had powerful realms, they couldn't awaken many fate souls. Some people had awakened a lot of Fate Souls, but they were all low-level Fate Souls.

Realm, Fate Soul. The two thresholds were like two insurmountable chasms, blocking too many people.

Tang Ao's previous strength was not very stable. Sometimes he was at the Second Sky of Body Tempering, and sometimes he was only one step away from the Third Sky. And after these seven days of cultivation, coupled with the help of the Ancient God's Art of Lifting the Heavens, he gained some insights from the great battle. Tang Ao's cultivation had already stabilized, he was now an expert of the third sky of quasi-Duan Ti Realm!

With his inner vision, the jade-colored hazy light in his Dantian seemed to have become more stable without him realizing it. It was even more solidified than before.
