The Greatest Disciple of the Evil Sect

Chapter 119: Chapter 119- Climbing the tower

"He is by far the strongest participants we got this time. That is if we discount your disciple, Zhou Tong" Han Xuan further added.

"Hmm... he is quite impressive. To be able to reach Two Star battle master class at his age... where did this youth come from again?" Zhou Tong agreed with Han Xuan’s assessment and became curious about the youth’s background.

One of the elders rummaged through his space ring and took out a parchment of paper that had the name and drawing of Yang Chen on it. This was the application that Lin Mang had prepared for Yang Chen’s admission.

"Hoh, cloud city huh... now that’s surprising" That elder made an amused face as soon as he read it.

"What does it say?" Zhou Tong asked in curiosity.

"It appears that he is endorsed by the Lin Clan. However, he is an outsider. What’s more, there is no other background or information to be found about him. It is as if he appeared in the cloud city out of nowhere".

Hearing this Han Xuan, the other elder and Zhou Tong narrowed their eyes. "An unknown origin huh, this is a little problematic" Han Xuan muttered looking at the figure of the youth through the orb.

"What do we do Han Xuan? We cannot simply admit a student whose origins are completely unknown. What if he harbours an evil heart and we take him in and nurture him. Wouldn’t he become a great threat just like that person who..."

"Silence!!" before that elder could continue further, he was silenced by Han Xuan.

"We will first observe his character before making the decision. If he indeed harbours an evil heart, we will disqualify him. However, judging by the fact that he spared the participants that tried to kill him, tells me that his nature is good" Han Xuan added.

"But didn’t he just cripple all of them? What will we tell their clan?" one of the elders, who was still unconvinced by Yang Chen’s behaviour and his unknown origins, spoke up.

"In a fight injuries are inevitable, swords and fists have no eyes after all. He is still a youth, at his age it is only natural to be hot headed and make mistakes especially when the other party tried to kill him. Are you telling me that he should have let those people go without any scratch?" Surprisingly Zhou Tong was on Yang Chen’s side.

"I agree with Zhou Tong. Just because we are too afraid of our past mistake, we cannot simply fail him based on his unknown origin. Besides, it would be a great loss for our academy if we fail a genius like him who managed to learn such high grade battle skills."

Han Xuan was also not a fool, he could see how talented Yang Chen was after observing how effortlessly he defeated his opponents.

"He definitely learned some powerful battle skills. Did you see that flame he used? If I’m not wrong, it is definitely of a High Tier Sky Grade or even a Heaven Grade battle skill"

Zhou Tong’s words were a bomb to the ears of the other two elders. They couldn’t help but glue their eyes on the orb displaying the figure of the youth.

High Tier Sky Grade Battle Skills not mentioning the fact that it was almost impossible to see a battle skill of that grade in this remote corner of a region, even in their outer academy there were only a few of them.

What about Heaven Grade? Battle skills of that grade, only the inner academy of the Holy Orchard Academy possessed it. And even in the entire Great Yan Province, only a few factions and sects possessed them.

But here Zhou Tong was saying that the blue flame skill that the youth on the screen displayed might probably be of Heaven Grade.

If not because they knew who Zhou Tong was and that he wouldn’t joke at a time like this, or else they would have burst out laughing.

Little did they know that Yang Chen had learned more than Twenty One battle skills, all of whose grades were no lower than High Tier Sky Grade while some were even of Heaven Grade.

"Hmm that blue flame is very powerful; however, what was that thing that stopped the combined attack of the two Zhang clan participants earlier" Han Xuan frowned recalling the scene where the seven meter huge orange sword made of battle energy was shattered by Yang Chen without even him needing to turning around.

"If I’m not wrong that should be a defensive type Battle Skill" Zhout Tong surmised. It was a great surprise for all of them who were watching the scene through the orb when Yang Chen took that attack from his enemies while his back was turned.

Some of them even thought that he was too arrogant, naïve and unable to judge the situation. However, contrary to their expectation, the attack shattered without being able to injure Yang Chen even the slightest.

"Is that so?" Han Xuan frowned, to him it did not look like the doing of a battle skill but something completely different.

He was not wrong, what Yang Chen displayed there was not a battle skill but an ability of his Two Star armour. In this world, something like that was as rare or even rarer than the battle skills themselves.

It was no wonder that Han Xuan and the others were unable to recognise the ability of Yang Chen’s light armour.

"He is currently on the third floor and it doesn’t look like the level of infernal flames there pose any difficulty for him. This means that his foundation is also very strong. He should be moving onto the fourth floor soon" Zhou Tong commented.

"Hehe, Zhou Tong are you afraid that this youth might catch up to your disciple?" seeing the other party pay so much attention to some other participant than his disciple, Han Xuan couldn’t help but jokingly remark.

"Hmph, my disciple is already at the fifth floor and should very soon start moving towards the sixth. No matter how talented this Yang Chen is, can he compare to my disciple and a member of that clan?" Zhou Tong snorted and spouted out facts.
