"Hmph, at least you're sensible."

Ye Hao's attitude made Ye Yang quite satisfied. While he was considering whether he should show mercy later and properly humiliate Ye Hao, he suddenly felt a faint blood aura rising from the former's body.

"Seems like you're really unwilling?" Ye Yang raised his brows as a sneer appeared on his face. To him, if Ye Hao, who was at the second level of Body Tempering, dared to attack him, it was the same as asking for a beating.

However, as Ye Hao took a step forward, the blood energy around his body began to increase, and then it instantly dissipated.

"That's not right!" This surge of qi and blood … Tempered Body 3rd Layer? " Sensing the Qi and blood above Tempered Body 2nd Layer on Ye Hao, Ye Yang held his breath and said in disbelief, "Your realm …." "He actually broke through?"

For the past four years, Ye Hao's cultivation level had always been stuck at the Second Layer of Body Tempering. This was a well-known fact in the entire Ye family, and even in the entire Black Lake City.

However, right now, the Qi and blood fluctuations on the former's body had already reached the third level of the Body Tempering stage. Moreover … There was also a trend of them continuing to climb.

Just as Ye Yang's expression changed, Ye Hao dragged his spear with a smile on his face. His black eyes gradually approached Ye Hao with an ice-cold expression. The aura within his body had already broken through once again.

Body Tempering Fourth Layer!

"You … "How is this possible!?"

At this moment, Ye Yang's mind felt as though it was struck by lightning, and it was difficult for him to maintain his calm as he underwent a drastic change.

As for the people behind him, the playfulness on their faces had long since disappeared and was replaced with disbelief and amazement.

Ye Hao, the trash that they had been ridiculing, was now in the same realm as them, in the fourth level of the Body Tempering stage?

"Didn't you want my Inferior Grade Spirit Weapon? Why are you afraid?" Ye Hao raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.

Ye Yang forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and gritted his teeth as he said, "Afraid of you? "Even if you broke through, you are only at Tempered Body 4th Layer. You are still inferior to me …"

Before he could finish his words, a powerful aura at Tempered Body 5th Layer erupted from within Ye Hao's body. An intense aura swept out, causing the leaves on the trees to rustle.

"Impossible!"

When he sensed the blood energy, Ye Yang cried out in horror. His eyes widened and he couldn't help but take a step back.

At this moment, the blood energy within Ye Hao's body was in the realm of body refining fifth level. Ye Yang felt that the former's power was slightly stronger than his. He simply couldn't believe it.

A trash that was so stupid as to fall off a cliff a few days ago, how could he have such formidable strength?

Amongst the few people present, only Ye Ze was able to control the shock in his heart. After all, he had already guessed Ye Hao's strength a long time ago.

As for Ye Yang and the rest, they were looking at Ye Hao as if they were looking at a monster. Their gazes were filled with unprecedented horror.

"If you want a Spirit Weapon, then you have it." Ignoring everyone's shock, the moment Ye Yang retreated, Ye Hao suddenly clenched his hand. The long spear in his hand was like a dragon swinging its tail, releasing an ear-piercing wind sound as it swept towards Ye Yang.

Clang!

After all, Ye Yang was at the Tempered Body 5th Layer. Shocked, under Ye Hao's sweeping attack, he finally raised the long blade in his hand at the last moment and barely managed to block it.

However, even though he managed to block the attack with great difficulty, the terrifying power that came from the spear made Ye Yang's arm go numb in pain. It was as if he was struck by the most unreasonable demon beast and completely lost all intuition.

In the next moment, his body suddenly flew out like a scarecrow under the frightened gazes of everyone else.

Pfft!

Ye Yang was only able to stop himself after rolling on the ground for dozens of feet. Soon after, a mouthful of blood, mixed with his damaged internal organs, was spat out from his mouth.

"How... How is that possible? "

Looking at the broken blade in his hand, his heart surged with monstrous waves. Although he was panicking before in response, he had still channeled nearly eighty percent of his strength. Why was he still unable to put up even the slightest resistance against Ye Hao, who was at the fifth layer of Body Tempering?

Could it be … Ye Hao's cultivation level was still above the Fifth Layer of Body Tempering?

When this thought appeared, Ye Yang felt a surge of fear in his heart. The gaze he used to look at Ye Hao was filled with unprecedented terror.

"The Spirit Weapons delivered to your hands can't even be held steady. You really do have that arrogant face from before." Ye Hao sneered and walked towards him again.

He had been holding back in that previous attack, or else if he were to use his full power, Ye Yang would probably be dead by now.

Of course, even though he did not want to kill Ye Yang, Ye Hao did not plan on letting him go. After all, his strength was only at the second layer of Body Tempering, and if his spirit weapon was taken away, the danger in this forest would greatly increase.

Therefore, in the instant he took that step, Ye Hao was like an arrow as his speed suddenly increased drastically. Following that, the long spear fiercely struck Ye Yang's abdomen with a speed that was difficult for others to see.

Aooo!

The intense pain made Ye Yang bend his body like a large shrimp. As blood gushed out of his mouth, his body suddenly flew backwards, heavily smashing into a thick ancient tree in the distance and fainting.

In the next few days, the danger he would encounter in this forest where demonic beasts ran rampant would also increase greatly. As for whether or not he could survive this ordeal, Ye Hao had no time to care.

After taking care of Ye Yang, Ye Hao's gaze shifted to the remaining five people. The three men and two women, when Ye Hao's gaze swept over them, suddenly paled and trembled like a sieve.

Even the strongest of them, Ye Yang, had been defeated by Ye Hao in two shots, how could a few of them be at the Tempered Body 4th Layer?

"Leaves..." Ye Hao, don't act recklessly! "

"We don't have any bad intentions, and we're of the same race."

"..."

Finally, the five of them could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts and pleaded with trembling lips.

When Ye Hao looked at their faces, he couldn't conceal the disgust on his face.

His cultivation level had plummeted over the years, but he had never seen these people treat him as someone from the same race. Now that he realized that the situation wasn't good, these people began to raise their bloodline.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao walked forward with an indifferent expression. He swept his spear across them and pulled them to Ye Yang's side. He said indifferently, "All of you, scram far away. Don't let me see you here."

Hearing this, the five of them acted as if they had received amnesty. They no longer cared about their own injuries as they frantically fled in panic with the unconscious Ye Yang.

After the few of them had completely disappeared, Ye Hao withdrew his gaze. Carrying his long spear, he walked to Ye Ze's side and said with a chuckle, "Don't be in a daze. Let's go."

"Ah, good!"

After recovering from his shock, Ye Ze hurriedly followed Ye Hao. Along the way, he looked at the former with a complicated look in his eyes. He smiled bitterly and said, "Ye Hao, thank you so much for this exam."

After entering this examination grounds, Ye Ze finally understood the true dangers within. He understood that if it wasn't for Ye Hao, even if he was at Tempered Body 4th Layer, he wouldn't have been able to enter this place alone.

Ye Hao laughed indifferently when he heard this. He was just about to open his mouth, when suddenly, a mournful wolf howl suddenly sounded out from deep within the forest.

"Green Wood Demonic Wolf?"

Ye Hao suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Judging from the mournful howl just now, it should be the unreconciled growl of the wolf.

"Who could it be?" Ye Ze sucked in a breath of cold air. His expression was filled with shock. The wolf was a powerful demon beast at the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage. How could someone kill it on the second day of the exam?

"Ye Hao, we …"

"Let's go take a look."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Hao retracted his Qi and blood. His body headed towards the direction of the sound and quickly flew away.

"..."

At this time, deep in the forest, Ye Peng was happily putting away the heart of a cyan demon beast that was filled with a rich amount of blood. He immediately kicked the dead demon wolf's corpse on the ground and gently smiled as he said, "Fortunately, my brother received the assessment's contents and sent over this Ever-Flame Needle. Otherwise, we would have to spend a great deal of effort to kill this wolf."

Beside him, the slender and flirtatious Ye Ying also smiled and said, "Big Brother Ye is indeed worthy of being the top person in the Martial Hall. He can even give out a treasure comparable to a middle rank spirit weapon like the Ever-Flame Needle. He's truly extraordinary."

Ye Peng proudly said, "The number one person in the Martial Hall …" With my big brother's innate strength, his future achievements will not stop here! "

As he spoke, he handed the box in his hand to Ye Ying and said, "With this second heart, we have already completed the assessment."

"Next, I should go to the periphery to find that trash and get rid of him."

Ye Ying received the box with a sweet and charming smile, but her eyes were filled with cold killing intent. "That idiot, he's probably hiding in some corner with Ye Ze and is currently trembling."

"..."

While the two were talking, Ye Hao, who was in the distance, was flying towards them at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, at the edge of the forest, a snow-white clothed youth stood there quietly with his hands behind his back.

The young man's face was feminine and his eyes were narrow and long. His thin lips were like blades that gave off a cold aura.

This person was none other than Chen Xuantong of the Chen Clan, one of the three major clans of Black Lake City.

The current him had long narrow eyes that were filled with playfulness as he looked forward. He said faintly, "That dense forest is the Ye Family's traditional examination ground. I hope that after today …" None of the disciples from the Ye Family who participated in this exam managed to make it out alive. Otherwise, it would be a waste for the family to spend so much money to open up this secret pathway for you all to enter. "

"Understood, Young Master!"

The ten people behind him cupped their fists respectfully the moment he finished speaking.

These ten individuals' eyes were cold and filled with faint Spiritual Energy fluctuations. It was evident that they had surpassed the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage and were all powerhouses that specialized in the Spiritual Energy of the world.

"Go." Chen Xuantong chuckled. The corners of his mouth curled up sinisterly.

Like ghosts, ten figures silently snuck into the dense forest and instantly disappeared.

"Ye Family, their roots are broken, how much longer can you guys hold on …" The soft and indifferent words reverberated in the wind and dissipated. Chen Xuantong's white robed figure had vanished without a trace.
