Chapter 1: The Young Ye Fan

Ye Fan asked calmly

However, the two of them were neighbors in their childhood, having grown up together as childhood sweethearts, forming a bond from a young age

The entire classroom erupted in an uproar, with the young martial artists displaying expressions of mockery.

The Canglan Kingdom is one of the eight hundred vassal states of the Purple Xuan Dynasty of the human race. It is located in the eastern coastal area of the Eastern State, where the azure sea and blue sky stretch endlessly, hence the name Canglan Kingdom

However, after entering the Southern Chen Martial Academy, the destinies of the two gradually underwent subtle and awkward changes

I...

Ye Fan's talent is too low

His bloodline talent is at the lowest possible level, so low that it could be described as the bottom of the bottom among the inferior ones

The Purple Xuan Dynasty has lasted for 10,000 years, and the "Millennium Peace Treaty" is about to expire, a great upheaval sweeping across the Divine Martial Continent is quietly brewing amidst the chaos

Boom

Cao Shanshan raised her head proudly, her beautiful eyes filled with dreams and desires

Later, Ye Fan diligently practiced martial arts and, together with Cao Shanshan, was admitted to the Nancheng Martial Arts Academy, one of the top ten junior martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture

In the past two years, the gap between the two individuals has been widening increasingly

The classroom is very quiet, occasionally some young martial artists lose focus while reading, secretly glancing at her with admiring eyes

In the class, many young boys harbored feelings of admiration for Cao Shanshan, but unfortunately, none were fortunate enough to win her favor. Unexpectedly, Cao Shanshan suddenly revealed such a significant piece of news.

Shan Shan, what is the matter

Good

He appeared dazed, his body rigid, and his hands and feet cold

Ye Fan sadly discovered that although he had worked tirelessly to gain admission to the Southern Chen Martial Academy, among his peers within the academy, he ranked at the very bottom.

The realm of the warrior focuses on refining the physical body and marrow, giving rise to the essence of vital energy and blood. The more essence of vital energy and blood contained within the marrow, the stronger the force.

Their burning gazes made Ye Fan feel a searing pain all over his body, wishing he could burrow under the desk

His futile attempts at persuasion were of no avail

This examination will determine whether they can be promoted to the Luyang Prefecture Court, and it can be said to completely decide their future prospects and destinies

"Compared to Zhao Feiyang, the son of a heavenly pride, Ye Fan is nothing but a pile of cow dung; which woman would be blind enough to take a liking to Ye Fan"

In his youth, through diligent practice and hard work, he broke through to the first level of the martial artist stage and was admitted to the Nancheng Martial Arts Academy, one of the top ten junior martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture, no longer a commoner without status

At this moment, Cao Shanshan seemed to be preoccupied with her thoughts, holding a book on herbal medicine in her delicate hands, yet unable to focus on it

His name is Zhao Xing, and he is the strongest martial artist among the youth in the class, as well as a member of the collateral branch of the Zhao family, a prominent clan in Luyang Prefecture. In this small class, he can be considered a tyrant, and no one dares to provoke him

But it is precisely Ye Fan!

Here, there are numerous wealthy families, prestigious clans, aristocrats, and descendants of noble families, countless young individuals who possess extraordinary talents, cultivate at an astonishing pace, and are well-versed in knowledge

Oh no, is this the rhythm of breaking up at graduation?

However, when faced with Zhao Feiyang, who is at the third level of martial arts, even if he were given ten times the courage, he would not dare to provoke him

More than twenty young martial artists were all intently focused on their own books

Her long hair flows gracefully, exuding a fresh and elegant aura, accompanied by a subtle fragrance. She possesses a tall and curvaceous figure, with a slender waist beneath a pair of long and shapely legs, radiating youthful charm throughout her entire being

Ye Fan lowered his head, tightly pressed his lips together, and said, "I will definitely be admitted to the Luyang Prefectural Academy!"

Since ancient times, countless ancient gods have been born and perished on this magical continent

What, could it be that Zhao Feiyang suddenly intervened to seize the beauty?

Cao Shanshan repeated in a serious tone, letting out a long sigh, "As for why you ask me? The reason is something you know best in your heart. You will not be able to pass the entrance exam for Luyang Prefecture!"

Cao Shanshan's indifferent rejection revealed the truth

The Divine Martial Continent spans billions of miles, with towering peaks and picturesque rivers.

"As for him, can he really get into the Luyang Prefecture Academy? The Luyang Prefecture Academy is a place where only one out of ten can be selected. In our class, probably only one-third of the students can qualify for the academy. With his bottom-tier performance, how dare he boast about being able to enter the academy?"

Even some distant relatives came to congratulate him, praising him for his promising future and for bringing honor to the Ye family

Her name is Cao Shanshan, the number one beauty of the Southern Chen Martial Arts Academy

Tell yourself that even without talent, you can still succeed

Ye Fan lowered his head in shame, gripping his palm tightly, leaving deep blood marks.

The surrounding martial performers nodded in unison, all looking at Ye Fan with eyes filled with pity and sympathy

"It's good to be separated!"

Ye Fan originally thought that being able to enter the Southern Chen Martial Academy was a sign of his modest talent

She ranks third on the list of beauties among the top ten junior martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture, and her martial arts skills are impressive. Additionally, she also practices alchemy, making her a talented and beautiful young woman.

"Ye Fan, this pitiful creature, has finally fallen victim to Cao Shanshan's betrayal! This is retribution; what does not rightfully belong to him ultimately does not belong to him!"

At dawn, as the sky begins to brighten slightly, a faint glimmer of dawn appears, and the city of Luyang is silent and still

The young martial artist in the class cast a glance at Cao Shanshan, occasionally landing his gaze on her seatmate, Ye Fan

Shan Shan

During these three years at the Southern Chen Martial Arts Academy, he had long been fed up with the countless disdainful glances and mockery from Zhao Xing and his group, wishing he could give them a good beating

As I move further away from Luyang Prefecture, hope grows increasingly dim

Wait for him to finish the exam

I still desire more, a status of identity, wealth, and a superior life

"Rumbling! Crack!"

Born into a common family in Luyang City, a child of a humble household

I, Cao Shanshan, possess beauty, figure, temperament, and talent. Although I may not be the very best at Nancheng Martial Arts Academy, I am still among the top ten! Why should I be with you

Every time this point is considered, it drives the young martial artists in the class into a frenzy, with their hearts filled with jealousy and nowhere to vent their frustrations

Suddenly, a vast expanse of dark clouds swept in from the horizon, heavy and oppressive as if a hundred million tons of lead were pressing down, carrying the might to annihilate the world, suffocating the earth beneath its weight

Ye Fan initially relied on a meager amount of bloodline talent and sheer determination to, by an extreme stroke of luck, squeeze into the Nanchen Martial Academy, one of the top ten martial academies in Luyang.

There is only one belief, which is to strive relentlessly to make oneself stronger

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and the martial artists are about to graduate from the junior martial arts academy

Today marks the last day of study for this group of third-grade martial arts students at the Nancheng Martial Arts Academy, as tomorrow they will participate in the joint examination of the top ten martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture

It is said that Zhao Feiyang has been pursuing Cao Shanshan for quite some time, but Cao Shanshan has been pretending to be aloof and did not agree. Unexpectedly, just as graduation approaches, he has actually succeeded. It seems that Cao Shanshan is also a woman who craves vanity, ultimately unable to resist the temptation of the Zhao family's wealth

Cao Shanshan, this vibrant and beautiful fresh flower, is unfortunately placed atop a pile of cow dung. How can they not feel envious, gritting their teeth and feeling frantic within

Among them, those with exceptional talent, such as Cao Shanshan, not only possess striking beauty but also demonstrate considerable aptitude in martial arts and alchemy, quickly becoming the renowned third beauty of Luyang Prefecture

When we were younger, we were naive and did not need to consider anything. However, in recent years, I have matured and become more understanding. Observing the people around me, I gradually realize that my life cannot be limited to a mere pale love.

The four clans have engaged in conflict on the Divine Martial Continent for millions of years, yet they have been unable to determine a victor. Therefore, they established the "Millennium Peace Treaty".

It is simply a lack of self-awareness

Originally, with his meager strength as a minor martial artist, it was utterly impossible for him to catch up to Cao Shanshan, a stunningly beautiful girl who could rank among the top three in the prestigious Lu Yang's Top Ten Martial Arts Academies.

The sky changes at a moment's notice

Amidst the loud clamor of several loyal followers of the well-dressed youth, the martial students began to excitedly chatter and make noise.

One of the boys in a cloth shirt sat by the window, bathed in the first rays of morning light, studying intently.

Ye Fan felt a sense of anxiety in his heart, tightly gripping a book in his hand, unsure of what he should say.

However, he did not get discouraged

At that time, it caused a small sensation among the neighbors

In the Divine Martial Continent, the highest realm of martial arts is the Warrior Stage

There is a profound sense of powerlessness in my heart, along with a feeling of guilt towards Cao Shanshan

It is a pity that such a delicate and beautiful flower has long been claimed by another

As long as Cao Shanshan gives up on Ye Fan, he, being a collateral disciple of the Zhao family and possessing martial prowess that is second to none in his class, will undoubtedly increase his chances of catching up with Cao Shanshan once they both gain admission to the Luyang Prefecture Academy.

In contrast, Cao Shanshan possesses remarkable talent; the more she practices, the stronger she becomes, and she is currently one of the top martial artists in her class.

Beneath the setting sun, the sky is adorned with rosy clouds.

This martial artist, who ranks at the bottom of the entire class

Ye Fan's eyelids twitched a few times

If it were not for Ye Fan being this stumbling block for three years, how could he have lost the precious opportunity to pursue Cao Shanshan, only to be outpaced by his cousin instead

Her exquisitely sculpted face, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes that seem to glance around, every frown and smile is so captivating and alluring. Each of her movements appears so gentle and graceful, evoking a sense of care and affection in others

However, his bloodline point is merely a trivial one

Upon entering the martial arts academy, he clearly struggled to keep pace with the growth rate of the other martial students, and soon became the lowest-ranking among them.

However, he is still at the first level of the Martial Artist stage, and his martial skills are very weak

Illuminated Ye Fan's pale, bloodless, and expressionless cold face

Today marks the final day of our three years of study at the Nancheng Martial Arts Academy. Tomorrow is the joint assessment of the top ten junior martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture. This is likely Ye Fan's last day at the academy, haha, let's make the most of this final day. There will be no more opportunities to be together after this!

He is somewhat complacent

In the three years since he enrolled in Nancheng Military Academy through self-study, Ye Fan has appeared in the classroom every day before dawn, striving to maximize every bit of his time and energy for his studies

Although he worked very hard, he inevitably became the bottom among the many martial students at the Southern Chen Martial Arts Academy

The midsummer outside the classroom is very hot, vibrant with colors, and the cicadas are chirping noisily in the treetops

Zhao Feiyang is his cousin, a legitimate descendant of the Zhao family. In terms of martial prowess and family status, he surpasses him by a considerable margin.

Ye Fan, do not deceive yourself any longer! Your martial arts talent is far too low, and with your current strength, you cannot possibly pass the joint examination of the top ten martial arts academies, nor can you gain admission to the Lu Yang Prefecture Academy. There is also no hope of entering any of the nine major guilds. My ambition is to be admitted to the more advanced Lu Yang Prefecture Academy and to become an alchemy apprentice, joining the Alchemy Guild. I will not give up on my dream, while you are utterly incapable of keeping pace with me! My ambition is to be admitted to the more advanced Lu Yang Prefecture Academy and to become an alchemy apprentice, joining the Alchemy Guild. I will not give up on my dream, while you are utterly incapable of keeping pace with me!

Are you not joking? Why? We have been childhood friends for nearly ten years, and we have studied together at the Nancheng Martial Arts Academy for three years. Moreover, we are about to graduate from the Nancheng Martial Arts Academy and take the entrance exam for the Luyang Prefecture Academy together. Why bring up breaking up at this moment?

The maximum value of bloodline talent is one hundred points

Only by possessing a bloodline talent can one generate the essence of vital energy and blood

The time is extremely tight, and Ye Fan does not want to waste a single minute or second, even though Cao Shanshan is his girlfriend

Zhao Feiyang is indeed a direct descendant of the Zhao family, a prominent clan in Luyang City, with a boundless future. He is also the most outstanding young genius of our Southern Chen Martial Academy, having reached the pinnacle of the third level of martial arts, and enjoys great fame

He knows that what he is saying is very pale.

Is this how it is

Ye Fan was momentarily taken aback, looking up towards the window, his expression gradually turning cold, and he fell into a profound silence as if completely engulfed in deathly stillness

If you wait one more day, what will happen to you

What? They broke up?

The numerous young martial artists in the entire class were also stirred by Cao Shanshan's words, all turning their gazes towards the two of them

Ye Fan was engrossed in reading when he glanced at Cao Shanshan with a look of confusion upon hearing the sound

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted, and a brilliant flash of lightning tore through the sky.

If he truly cannot gain admission to Luyang Prefecture Academy, then he will not force the issue

Within the top ten junior martial arts academies, nearly all the youths possessing various talents and abilities from Luyang Prefecture have gathered

Mountains and rivers reflect blood, billowing smoke and dust, the slaughter continues unabated

Since the major exam is tomorrow, everyone will soon know about this matter, and she no longer wishes to keep it a secret

You have nothing, blending in with the crowd, ranking at the bottom in one of the top ten junior martial arts academies, the Nancheng Martial Arts Academy, let alone in the entire Luyang Prefecture. Apart from empty love, you can offer me nothing else

In fact, three years ago, when Ye Fan had just entered Nancheng Martial Arts Academy, he quickly realized that he was not worthy of Cao Shanshan at all

Upon entering the Southern Chen Martial Academy, he discovered that the top ten martial academies gathered young martial artists from hundreds of miles around the entire Luyang Prefecture, with strong individuals abounding and talents emerging in succession

Cao Shanshan gazed deeply into Ye Fan's beautiful eyes, struggling one last time in her heart, and said, "Let's break up"

... ...

I am serious, let's break up

Zhao Xing crossed his legs and laughed heartily, "Ye Fan, you fool, you still can't see the situation clearly! With your level of incompetence, how could you possibly be worthy of Cao Shanshan! You're about to be sentenced to 'death' in the upcoming provincial examination, yet you're still making futile last-ditch efforts! It's as if you really think you can pass the assessment! Bah, if you could pass, pigs would fly! Only someone with my level of strength has a full ten percent chance of being admitted to Luyang Academy. It's as if you really think you can pass the assessment! Bah, if you could pass, pigs would fly! Only someone with my level of strength has a full ten percent chance of being admitted to Luyang Academy. In the future, after becoming a peak martial artist, I will dominate Luyang Prefecture!"

Under the witness of the starry dust that resembles a celestial canopy, the divine beings bestowed the territorial map, dividing the Divine Martial Continent into five regions, establishing the four major races: the "Purple Xuan Dynasty of the Eastern Human Race, the Southern Beast Alliance, the Western Netherworld Dynasty, and the Northern Spirit Clan Covenant"

For the young martial students aspiring to reach the highest realm of martial arts, it is quite common to arrive at the martial arts academy before dawn each day to engage in self-study and early lessons

He has long been eager for Cao Shanshan and Ye Fan, this useless person, to break up over these three years

The joint examination of the top ten initial academies of Luyang Prefecture is approaching. Ye Fan will undoubtedly be eliminated in the promotion assessment, leaving Nancheng Martial Academy and descending to the status of an ordinary commoner. In contrast, Cao Shanshan is different; she will certainly pass the assessment and have a bright future ahead! How can they not break up?

It is truly a pity for Cao Shanshan, as she is the most beautiful girl in our class, possessing both stunning looks and exceptional martial skills. In the entire Luyang Prefecture, she ranks among the top three beauties. If it were not for the fact that the two of them have been childhood sweethearts growing up together, how could Ye Fan, this pig, have the chance to squander such a fine cabbage

Haha, oh my, that cracked me up!

Within the territory of Donglai County in the Canglan Kingdom, there is a Luyang Prefecture, covering an area of three hundred square miles

This made Ye Fan quite proud and filled with ambition, as he aspired to make a grand display of his talents at the Southern Chen Martial Academy and become a renowned warrior within Lu Yang Prefecture

Every time this moment arrives, their expressions suddenly turn cold, imbued with a chilling aura, accompanied by deep disdain and a pent-up hatred that has no outlet

Unfortunately, it never came to fruition. Just as graduation approached, Cao Shanshan suddenly announced her breakup with Ye Fan. The surprise he felt was simply beyond words

Is it ~ Is it not ~ ! ''

In a nearby seat, a young man in splendid attire crossed his legs and mockingly laughed with a hint of malicious glee at the corner of his mouth

He can only rely on day and night diligence, desperately practicing to hint at and numb himself

The young man's name is Ye Fan

After the ancient gods were extinguished, billions of beings led by the four major races of humans, beasts, ghosts, and spirits gradually thrived on this continent, continuously reproducing and growing, resulting in a situation where the four races coexisted on the Divine Martial Continent

Zhao Xing's eyes were wide with anger, a deep crimson, fixed intently on Ye Fan

In the third grade, the classroom of a certain graduating class was silent and still

The young man sat upright, his figure slightly slender. On his somewhat youthful face, his gaze was clear, accompanied by a hint of shyness. He possessed a rare calmness among his peers.

This damned fellow, just watch how I deal with you

Dealing with Ye Fan is an easy task

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ye Fan with deep disappointment and said, "You are merely slightly more gifted in bloodline talent than those mortals who cannot even step onto the path of martial arts. You are fundamentally unfit for martial arts! How long do you intend to deceive yourself? Can you keep up with my pace?"

Among the four clans, the divine-level powerhouses have replaced the obliterated ancient deities, establishing a magnificent stardust barrier in the starry sky of the Divine Martial Continent

One of the top ten junior martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture, Nancheng Martial Arts Academy, has seen its martial students arrive early to engage in their self-study morning classes

Cao Shanshan spoke all the words she had been wanting to say in one breath, her expression gradually calming down, and her eyes becoming increasingly resolute.

She pressed her red lips tightly together, hesitated for a long time, and ultimately made up her mind. She turned to Ye Fan at the neighboring table and said, "Ye Fan, I have something I want to tell you!"

He only hopes that Cao Shanshan can give him one more day

It is a pity that the breakup came too late, on the last day of the third year at the junior martial arts academy! Otherwise, I would have had the opportunity to pursue Cao Shanshan!

Ordinary martial students at the Nancheng Martial Arts Academy generally possess a bloodline talent score of at least 10 points. In contrast, the bloodline talents of a few martial geniuses can reach as high as 20 to 30 points or more

Beneath the Four Clans, the various principalities of the small and large human races and the tribes of the beast races vie for supremacy

Ye Fan felt a slight bitterness in his mouth

Zhao Xing was directly stunned and left dumbfounded by this major revelation, in a state of panic and confusion

If Cao Shanshan's boyfriend were someone else, then so be it; they might not be so jealous after all

He has been training at the martial arts academy for three years, yet he remains at the first level of martial artist, with no progress to date

No! I don't want to wait another day. Zhao Feiyang has been pursuing me for a long time. He promised that as long as I become his girlfriend, he would help me join the Alchemist Guild of Luyang Prefecture. My ambition is to become a true alchemist, and only his family background can assist me. Moreover, I have already agreed to him!

However, Zhao Xing is a collateral descendant of the prominent Zhao family in Luyang Prefecture, and he, as a mere commoner, cannot contend with or provoke them. He also does not wish to cause any trouble on this final day, lest he jeopardize his graduation from Nancheng Martial Academy.

How useless is it

Ye Fan's youthful face suddenly turned extremely pale, and his slightly emaciated body trembled uncontrollably

Her growing indifference and estrangement from herself deeply troubled Ye Fan, prompting him to become increasingly determined and diligent.

He lowered his head, veins bulging, desperately suppressing the anger that surged within him

Ye Fan lowered his head, feeling ashamed as he heard the mocking remarks from the surrounding martial students, his ears turning completely red

Shanshan, could you please wait for me one more day? I am certain I can do it. Tomorrow is the assessment at Luyang Prefecture, and I am confident I can pass the martial arts department's evaluation! If I do not pass, if I do not pass... then I will...!

Like a clap of thunder on a clear day, it stunned Ye Fan completely

Immediately, the classroom was filled with the uproarious laughter of the young martial artists, who were desperately pounding on the tables and laughing heartily.

However, all of this was doused with a bucket of cold water from the day he entered the Southern Chen Martial Academy

Moreover, the Central Plains serves as the battleground for the four clans

No wonder! Cao Shanshan would decisively give up Ye Fan at this time and choose Zhao Feiyang. If it were me, I would make the same choice; a good bird selects a good tree to perch on

Next to Ye Fan sat a girl in a blue dress, around fifteen or sixteen years old
