In the center of Black Abyss City, the crowd surrounding the three platforms were all deathly silent.

Everyone was staring blankly at Ye Tianlin, that terrifying figure in front of them.

It was a young man's figure, as if he had just crawled out of a sea of blood. His entire body was covered in blood, and even his face was covered in blood, making it difficult for others to recognize him.

"It's him?"

On the spectator's stand, Bai Ning Xue's eyes looked at that familiar face with suspicion. She finally recognized him and couldn't help but exclaim.

"He … He is the Ye Family's Ye Hao? "

"What!?" It's actually him? "

"How can he be like this? Also, is he challenging Ye Tianlin? "

"..."

Finally, after a long period of silence, when even the air seemed to have frozen, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from the crowd. They had recognized this person's identity.

It was Ye Hao, who had been missing for more than a month.

"Hao'er, come back quickly!" The first person to recognize Ye Hao was naturally Ye Yunfeng.

The moment he saw Ye Hao step on stage, he was shocked and lost in thought, especially when he saw the miserable sight of Ye Hao covered in blood. In the depths of Ye Yunfeng's heart, he felt an unprecedented sense of worry and pain.

He couldn't imagine what Ye Hao had gone through and why he was in such a miserable state.

Thinking up to this point, his eyes had already turned red. He couldn't help but want to rush up the arena and forcefully drag the youth down.

"Clan head, we still have the seniors of Tianxuan Academy present. We mustn't be impolite." Just as Ye Yunfeng moved, the Great Elder suddenly stood in front of him and spoke with a deep voice.

Ye Hao's appearance caused the Great Elder to be stunned for a moment. Then, joy emerged in his heart. Although he knew very well that he could not kill him here.

But if Ye Tianlin were to defeat him under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it would undoubtedly bring him great benefits in the future by taking over Ye Yunfeng's position as the clan leader.

"He is Ye Hao?" At this moment, Tang Yun, who was standing at the side, finally recovered her wits. She slightly frowned as she looked at the figure on the stage.

According to her knowledge, Ye Hao was only at the seventh level of the Body Tempering realm, yet with such strength, he actually dared to enter the stage to participate in the assessment. He truly did not know the severity of the situation.

"Tang Yun, quickly stop the test." The Great Elder's obstruction caused Ye Yunfeng to be filled with rage. However, when he thought about Sun Ji Yuan and the others being present, he could only grit his teeth and endure it as he anxiously spoke to Tang Yun.

"Uncle Ye, don't worry. Only those at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage can participate. Elder Sun will naturally stop them. There's no need to worry." Tang Yun consoled.

Anxious and confused, Ye Yunfeng remembered the rules of the exam. He heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the disappointed Great Elder with an ice-cold gaze.

"Ning Xue, he's that Ye Hao?" And at this moment, Sun Juyuan frowned as he gazed at the silhouette standing on the platform.

"That's right. I just saw him a month ago. He shouldn't have reached the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage yet. He doesn't have the qualifications to participate in this exam." Bai Ningxue nodded with a strange expression on her pretty face.

She had thought that Ye Hao had already retreated, but in order to preserve his dignity, he had not shown his face for the past month.

However, he never expected that the youth would appear again at this critical moment.

"Hehe, son of Ye Jinghan, you still haven't broken through to Tempered Body 9th Layer at this age, what a joke." A trace of ridicule surfaced on Lin He's face as he coldly looked down on the youth below.

At this moment, discussions sounded out from all the viewing seats and from the surrounding black masses of people, one after another, a burst of laughter rang out.

"Did this Ye Hao lose his mind?" You actually dare to challenge Ye Tianlin? "

"Hehe, I think so too. I heard that he finally managed to cultivate a few days ago, but now he's actually here to participate in the exam."

"He's overestimating himself, he's simply stupid."

"It seems to me that this fellow is here specifically for the sake of my eyeball. How boring."

"..."

In the eyes of the people of Black Lake City, although Ye Hao's talent was quite good back then, he was ultimately unable to cultivate for many years, and was far inferior to the three people on the stage.

Moreover, the one he was going to challenge was the strongest of the three, Ye Tianlin.

Hearing the undisguised ridicule from below, Ye Tianlin's face revealed a sneer as he lowered his voice and said, "I thought that that old fogey Ye Yunfeng would have arranged for you to run away with your tail between your legs. I didn't expect you to actually dare to appear here."

At this moment, Ye Tianlin felt extremely joyful in his heart. The Profound Sky Academy's entry was already within his grasp, and Ye Hao just so happened to appear at this moment, saving him from having to investigate further. To him, this was a pleasant surprise.

Ye Hao remained silent as he coldly stared at Ye Tianlin. His body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

Seeing him in such a state, Ye Tianlin furrowed his brows, puzzled. At the same time, on the spectator's stand, Sun Juyuan's slightly deep voice sounded out once again.

"Those who take the stage to participate in the exam must inject their Qi and blood into the spirit testing pillar and obtain its approval. They have the right to do so."

Hearing this, the nearby Ye Yunfeng let out a breath of relief, while Ye Tianlin coldly snorted in disappointment.

"Haha, hurry up and come down. Only at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage has the qualifications to participate."

"Don't stand on top of that, we all know your 'big name' Ye Hao, hahaha …"

"..."

Amidst the clamoring noise below, Ye Hao was still silent. He waved his sleeves and suddenly, a mist of qi and blood entered the pillar below.

Swish!

Dazzling rays of light, like the sun, erupted from the spirit testing pillar, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically. It was as if someone had grabbed hold of their throats, and they could no longer utter a single word.

The black mass of people suddenly fell into a deathly silence, so heavy that one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared at the still resplendent spirit testing pillar in disbelief. Amidst the dazzling brilliance, no one even noticed that there were a few shocking cracks faintly appearing on the side of the pillar.

Ye Hao's current Qi and blood power was so strong that even the spiritual pillar seemed to be unable to withstand it and exploded.

"Qi and blood in vitro …" Perfection of the Body Tempering stage?! "

After the deathly silence passed, a somewhat trembling and shrill voice caused everyone present to suddenly regain their senses and stare in disbelief at the figure that had been silent this entire time.

"How is this possible?" Bai Ning Xue's red lips slightly opened. Her beautiful face was filled with shock as her beautiful eyes stared at the young man's figure.

She clearly remembered that one month ago, Ye Hao's Qi and blood couldn't possibly be more powerful than the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage.

However, in just a short month, the former was actually able to leave his body and reach the perfect stage of Body Tempering Stage?

This completely overturned everything she knew.

At this moment, not only her, but even Sun Juyuan was stunned for a moment. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes as he frowned and fell silent.

"Leaves..." Uncle Ye, is this the body tempering seventh level you spoke of? " On the Ye Family's spectator stand, Tang Yun's mature and charming face was also filled with shock. She looked at Ye Yunfeng and discovered that he was also dumbfounded and his expression was filled with shock.

"This... How is that possible? " At this moment, if one were to say which group was the most powerful, it would be Ye Yunfeng.

He remembered that it had only been half a year since Ye Hao had regained his cultivation.

In this short period of time, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary Body Tempering stage cultivator to break through even a single level, not to mention reaching the peak of the Body Tempering stage.

At this moment, Ye Yunfeng felt like his mind was being struck by thunder. His mouth was wide open as he stared at the young man in disbelief. This was simply too inconceivable.

"So he came prepared."

On the stage, Ye Tianlin's face changed, as his voice turned solemn.

His eyes flashed with a bright light. It was as cold as a knife. He kept staring at Ye Hao.

Indeed, the feeling of unease he felt that day was not empty talk. After being able to cultivate again, Ye Hao had become his biggest obstacle!

Ye Tianlin's face turned gloomy, but in the next moment, he suddenly smiled.

Fortunately, the current him had already broken through the shackles of the human body. Even though Ye Hao had unexpectedly reached the perfect body tempering stage, in his opinion, it was still no different than before.

"You think you can compete with me just because you broke through to the Great Perfection of the Body Tempering stage? The outcome of your bloodline will not change! " Ye Tianlin gave a disdainful snort. He took a step forward and extended his hand towards Ye Hao's neck.

This casual attitude simply did not place the Great Circle of Body Tempering in his eyes.

The moment Ye Tianlin made his move, the crowd that was in a state of shock suddenly went deathly silent. Everyone held their breath as they stared intently at the stage.

Ye Hao, on the other hand, looked at the approaching Ye Tianlin. His black eyes flashed with a strange light as his right hand suddenly pressed forward without any intention of retreating.

Bang!

As the two palms made contact, an invisible wave of air suddenly spread out, causing the spectator below, who was closer, to sway in the air.

Although Ye Tianlin's attack seemed casual, it did not hold back. It was even more vicious than when he was dealing with Xu Zhan.

Even so, Ye Hao was still able to react and block it. This caused a sense of unease to arise in his heart.

"Get the hell out of here!" Ye Tianlin's expression turned slightly cold and he shouted out loudly. A wave of terrifying Qi and blood that far surpassed the great circle of Body Tempering stage erupted from his body.

Boom!

The strong blood energy seemed to have formed a storm that swept across the entire platform.

"What a terrifying wave, this Ye Tianlin must have broken through the shackles of the human body!"

"Nonsense. Otherwise, do you think that Xu Zhan would have lost so easily?"

"Breaking through the shackles of the human body … "Sigh, even if Ye Hao had reached the Great Perfection of the Body Tempering stage, he would still end up like Xu Zhan."

"This Ye Hao is stupid, why must he challenge Ye Tianlin, they are from the same clan."

"Hmph, the stupid one is you. It's no secret that the Ye Family has different bloodlines, and only an idiot like you would not be able to tell. "

"..."

Amidst the shocked whispers below, Ye Hao stood still on the stage. One breath, two breaths … Time slowly passed by and everyone's expressions gradually stiffened. They suddenly came up with an unbelievable guess.

Could it be …

At that moment, an even stronger Qi surged up from the body of the young man who had been silent all this time.
