"How is this possible?"

"Eight stage hidden strength?" This... Is it still the Seven Layered Waves Force? "

The subtle sound from Ye Hao's body made the teasing face of the Martial Hall disciple to suddenly open his eyes wide as he shouted out in shock.

Some of them had practiced the body tempering technique, the Wave Bending Seventh Layer. They knew that once it reached the Large Success stage, it would have the additional power of the seventh layer. Although its power was not bad, it was not a spiritual power technique.

And now, the body tempering sacred art Ye Hao displayed actually produced eight layers of hidden strength. This completely toppled everyone's understanding. It was simply too inconceivable.

However, the shock in their hearts had yet to subside. The ninth roar from Ye Hao's body was like a clap of thunder, making them all feel dizzy.

Bang!

Ye Hao's eyelids slightly lifted. He looked at Ye Xiao, whose face was pale and body was trembling. He grinned and said, "I will accept your second rank elixir."

Immediately, Ye Xiao, whose body was trembling, suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. As if he had been struck by an unimaginable force, he flew out and landed heavily on the ground at the end of the open ground.

Hiss!

This unexpected scene in front of their eyes caused everyone to gasp. They looked at Ye Xiao who was struggling in the distance and was unable to get up. Their minds were buzzing like thunder.

"This... "How could that be?"

After a long while, everyone looked at the teenager in black, who was putting all of Ye Xiao's Tier 2 spiritual medicines into his storage bag. Their faces were filled with unprecedented shock.

He had truly made a mistake.

With the strength of Tempered Body 6th Layer, he had activated the Qi and Blood Abhijina to heavily injure Ye Xiao, who was at the peak of Tempered Body 7th Layer. It was just too shocking.

"You … Give it back to me! " In the distance, Ye Xiao, whose mouth was covered in blood, couldn't help but scream as he watched the jade box being taken away.

"What is it? You can't afford to lose? "

Ye Hao glanced at him, but there wasn't much sympathy in his eyes. If the one who lost this time was him, he didn't think the other party would be that kind.

Moreover, he had already shown mercy when the ninth wave of hidden strength erupted. He had restrained quite a lot of his strength. If that was not the case, Ye Xiao's injuries would have definitely become even more severe.

One must know that he had even killed a cultivator at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage with the help of the ninth level of the Body Tempering ability.

"Since you're a disciple of the Martial Hall, you won't go back on your word, right?" Looking at Ye Xiao gnashing his teeth in anger, Ye Hao said with a smile.

"You …" Looking at Ye Hao putting away the storage bag with a smile on his face, Ye Xiao was annoyed. He rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Alright, since you've caused enough trouble, come on in." At this moment, in a grand pavilion at the end of the open space, the Second Elder's authoritative voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing the voice, Ye Hao's brows twitched. It seemed that the Second Elder had let him do as he pleased just now. Was it to see his strength?

With this thought in mind, Ye Hao led Ye Ze and ignored the gazes of the others as they walked towards the pavilion at the end of the open space.

"..."

The pavilion was tall and black in color, with a grand and solemn atmosphere. The light inside was a little dim. The moment Ye Hao stepped inside, he felt a solemn aura rushing towards him.

What entered his eyes was an empty hall. On the praying mat on the front of the hall, a skinny old man with sparse white hair sat quietly.

At this moment, when he saw Ye Hao and Ye Ze arriving, a strange look appeared on his shrivelled face. He said, "Little guy, you are quite surprising."

"Greetings, Second Elder." After the two of them bowed respectfully, Ye Hao said with a chuckle, "Second Elder's display of might is not too friendly."

The elder shook his head with a smile, "I'm not going to play around with you, kid. Moreover, you're taking advantage of me. Not everyone can take out a Grade 2 Elixir even if it's in the Martial Hall."

Ye Hao grinned and then vigilantly said: "Second Elder, you won't take this elixir back right?"

The old man said, "This is a matter between you and Ye Xiao. This old man will not interfere. Moreover, the arrogance of the disciples of the Martial Hall should be killed."

Ye Hao then let out a light breath. If he was forced to spit out the Grade 2 Elixir that he had just obtained, it would be better to just directly let out his blood.

"Alright, back to the main topic. Since you two have passed the exam, then you can be considered a disciple of the Martial Hall from now on. You must train more diligently and not ruin the reputation of our Martial Hall." The second elder restrained his expression and said with a slightly sunken voice.

Ye Hao and Ye Ze nodded seriously.

"Also, since the two of you have passed the exam, it means that no matter if it's talent or temperament, there will always be a growth in talent. For the disciples, the clan will naturally nurture them greatly." The Second Elder paused for a moment before continuing, "All disciples of the Martial Hall receive thirty Body Refinement Pellets per month, and … "A Tier 1 spiritual herb every half a year."

The old man's words caused Ye Ze to open his mouth wide in shock. Even Ye Hao couldn't help but to take in a light breath.

One had to know that the average member of the Ye Clan only had a share of three Body Refinement Pellets a month. Ye Hao had saved up for four whole years, but it was still only close to two hundred.

Most importantly, it was the rank 1 spiritual medicine that he grew for half a year. The effect of the spiritual medicine had unimaginable benefits for a cultivator's body tempering. It was extremely rare and precious, so normal people could not obtain it.

However, the disciples of the Martial Hall were actually able to obtain one every six months. Even though Ye Hao had an imagination about the treatment of the Martial Hall's resources, he could not help but sigh with emotion about how wealthy they were.

The Second Elder seemed to be used to this expression. His expression did not change at all. With a wave of his sleeve, two small wooden boxes immediately fell into their hands.

"Inside are your monthly Body Tempering Pills and a Grade 1 Elixir. Keep it."

Ye Hao opened the wooden box. Inside, besides the porcelain bottle containing the Body Refinement Pellet, there was also a Scarlet Blood Fruit that emitted a medicinal fragrance. It was exactly the same as the one that Ye Yunfeng had given him.

"What a generous hand." Ye Hao was speechless. He immediately put away the wooden box into his storage bag and looked at the old man with a burning gaze.

Sensing his gaze, the Second Elder smirked as he scolded, "You crafty little fox, are you really that impatient?"

Ye Hao smiled and said: "Second Elder, I have been longing for the martial art of the Martial Hall for a long time."

Every newly advanced Martial Hall disciple could choose a sacred art from the Martial Hall. Not only was there a large number of body tempering divine abilities, but even the incomparably precious body tempering and spiritual power techniques could be selected.

With regards to Ye Hao, who had experienced the power of the Spiritual Energy, he had been anticipating this moment for a long time.

"Follow me."

Seeing the young man's fervent expression, the Second Elder did not continue to keep them in suspense. He stood up and led them up to the second floor.
