Chapter 2: The Fox Borrows the Tiger's Might

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  "Brother Chen, we will do our best to assist you and await the orders of Young Master Wu!" Several young men patted their chests and said. In this vast continent, strength represented identity and status. Even though they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, they deeply understood this.

  "Alright, after this Blood Silk Tree is refined into a Dan medicine, one pill for each of you!" Chen Guo was very satisfied, but suddenly his eyebrows furrowed and he looked forward.

  Only a thin and weak young man was standing at the gate, with clear eyebrows and eyes, although he couldn't be counted as that kind of elegant and refined person, but at first glance, he could make people feel good!

  But at this moment, the young man was staring at the blood-silk wood in his hand!

  "Leaf rustling!"

  The rest of the young men also saw the newcomer and immediately raised their eyebrows!

  Chen Guo was slightly surprised, this Ye Ming had no status in the assessment of his disciples, and was often bullied. What's more, he dared to come to his own courtyard today? Isn't that looking for death? It must be known that Wu Er Shao Ye had specifically instructed that this Ye Ming must be properly "taken care of"...

  "Brother Chen, this Ye Ming's brain is rotten, he dares to run here, should we take him in?"

  "Haha, he's only at the second realm of spiritual energy, we can easily take him down!"

  The rest of the young men said coldly, as if they wanted to show off in front of Chen Guo.

  At this moment, Ye Ming's cold words to the few young men were as if unheard, because he discovered that the light red starlight in the picture was actually the Blood Silk Wood!

  What's going on here?

  But soon he knew it wasn't the time to study the stardust, and instead looked at Chen Guo and others with a frown.

  Damn it, things got a bit complicated...

  Chen Guo was a cultivator of the One True Way, with a cultivation base at the peak of the Three Realms. His mastery of the Art of Object Manipulation was unparalleled, and he was not someone to be trifled with. Moreover, this guy had often bullied him in the past.

  Now it's like rushing into the tiger's mouth!

  "Yemeng, I, Chen Guo, am not an unreasonable person either. Give me a reason why you came to my courtyard. If the reason is valid, I might consider letting you off!" Chen Guo's face revealed a teasing smile.

  The rest of the young men were stunned for a moment, when did Brother Chen become such a good person? However, after thinking about it for a while, they all showed a smile of schadenfreude.

  It turned out that Brother Chen was teasing Ye Ming!

  It's either Ye Ming ran away or begged for mercy, but in the end, Chen Shixiong would still beat him up severely!

  Ye Ming furrowed his brow, he was different from ordinary boys, born into a noble family, but in the family's status, even lower than the lowest person, so he had a proud and aloof temperament, but also knew how to endure and be low-key!

  The current situation is unfavorable to oneself, and an excuse must be found...

  "In an instant, Ye Ming coldly laughed and said: 'Reason? No reason! Humph, there are still three months left. After the assessment, I will settle both old and new grudges at once. This is my purpose for coming here!"

  As soon as these words fell, Chen Guo and several others were slightly stunned, then burst out laughing!

  A guy who has been cultivating for three years and is only in the second realm of spiritual energy dares to talk big like this. You should know that Chen Guo entered the academy a year and a half ago, but he's already in the third realm of spiritual energy. And as for the other few youngsters, they've all reached either the second or third realm of spiritual energy within just one year!

  In the Gantang Academy, those with good aptitude become inner courtyard disciples early on, while those with poor aptitude are eliminated directly. In three years' time, Ye Ming is the first person to not be eliminated!

  "Ye Ming, is this a challenge to me?" Chen Guo laughed so hard his stomach hurt.

  Ye Ming's handsome face was icy cold: "Not bad, dare you?"

  This expression finally made Chen Guo and others withdraw their smiles. At first, when Ye Xiu said this, they thought it was a joke, but the second time he said it, it seemed to be true!

  "What on earth is Ye Ming doing?"

  Chen Guo became somewhat cautious, he believed that Ye Ming was not a fool, dared to come personally and issue a challenge, this must have some backing!

  Could it be that one of the top ten inner disciples, Senior Brother Han? No, that's not right. Wu Ershao said that Han Lin is currently in closed-door cultivation, how could he possibly come out to protect Ye Ming?

  Seeing Chen Guo and others' facial expressions change, Ye Ming coldly laughed: "Remember, there are still three months, take care of yourself!" After finishing speaking, he swung his sleeves and proudly left.

  Chen Guo and the others fell silent, and after a moment, one of the young men said: "Brother Chen, he says it's three months later, but now his strength is definitely not high. He's so arrogant, do you want to teach him a lesson now?"

  "Hold on, slow down!"

  Chen Guo waved his hand: "Ye Ming doesn't seem to be joking, now he not only has to pass the assessment but also defeat me after the assessment. I'm not afraid of him, but Han Lin behind him is not a minor figure. Is it that Han Lin who set up this trap?"

  "This matter is a bit tricky, let me ask Wu Er Shao Ye first!" Chen Guo said cautiously.

  Upon hearing this, the young man named Cang Fei also became cautious, especially when thinking of the top ten inner courtyard disciples like Han Lin. They too felt a chill in their hearts, perhaps this was the only place where they were wary of Ye Ming.

  At this moment, Ye Ming walked out of the gate and took a deep breath. Earlier, he had challenged something, but that was just a false bravado, and he just wanted to find an excuse to leave.

  Of course, he didn't know that his randomly made excuses had completely messed up Chen Guo. After all, the usual Ye Xiu wouldn't be so bold, and this time was so abnormal, there must be a reason for it!

  After a long time, Ye Ming returned to the small hut, his face turned solemn. He had deceived Chen Guo earlier, but he couldn't deceive him forever. When Chen Guo found out later, the trouble would be even greater!

  There are only two ways now, one: surpass them in strength, after all, the strong are respected in Gan Ting Academy, as long as there is strength, the situation will be different. Two, that is to leave Gan Ting Academy!

  These two roads, undoubtedly the second one is more realistic. After all, if Ye Ming had the strength, he would not have endured humiliation and hardship for so long.

  "Really leaving?" Ye Ming's eyes flickered.

  But where can I go if I leave?

  At the age of twelve, I left home and vowed that when I returned to my family, I would bring my father's spirit tablet into the Ye family ancestral hall. However, this goal has become increasingly distant!

  "Don't go!"

  Ye Ming's eyes flashed with determination, this was his last resort. The Gan Tang Academy was the lowest ranked of the nine academies, if he couldn't even make a name for himself here, then he would have no choice but to return home and become a farmer!

  Strength, everything is strength!

  "Since I've decided to stay, first and foremost, I must pass the three-month assessment and become an inner disciple. Chen Guo Qiang, I must be stronger than him!"

  Ye Ming muttered to himself, then thought of that mysterious scroll again.

  Pale pink stardust, this represents the blood silk wood in Chen Guo's hand, but there can be more than one stardust in the starry sky map. If each stardust represents a spiritual plant, then...

  Is this map recording the nearby spiritual plants?

  To know that previously the Bloodsilk Sprout had Chen Guo's ownership, but outside there were countless ownerless spiritual plants. If one has a map record, then they can find spiritual plants more easily than others!

  In an instant, Ye Ming's eyes lit up!

  "As long as I find the Ling Plant, I can pass the three-month assessment and even defeat Chen Guo!"

  Ye Ming's fists were shaking with excitement, his innate talent was not good and the resources were also scarce, so his cultivation had always been at the bottom, but if there were endless resources, then the situation would be different!

  Thinking so, Ye Ming quickly gathered his things, shouldered his pack and left the small courtyard.

  Searching for unowned spiritual plants, the best place is none other than the Misty Forest!
