Chapter 144: Chapter 144- Ambush

As elder Han Xuan announced Lin Huiyin’s achievements, gasps of surprise and awe rippled through the crowd.

"My God, she reached the Sixth Floor when all of the other participants only managed to reach the fourth floor?"..

"Indeed, her talent is far more outstanding than all the other participants. Being a Battle Master myself, I cannot even assess her strength"...

The crowd discussed. The name Lin Huiyin wasn’t foreign to them. In fact, many of them were aware that Lin Huiyin was the daughter of the clan leader of the Lin clan from the cloud city.

As such, they were all surprised to see such a talent emerge within the Lin Clan.

After Lin Huiyin, Elder Han Xuan called out Yan Zhuo, the participant who arrived at the last second and caused the elders to make an exception for him. Many people in the crowd with good observations, already guessed that he had a powerful background and expected him to be the winner of this year’s entrance test.

So when Elder Han Xuan announced his achievements, they weren’t too much shocked. Or maybe it was dulled by the fact that someone else beside him also managed to reach the same floor as him.

Nevertheless, the aura that he emitted and the fire of resolve burning in his eyes kept the crowd on their toes. His presence was so that none dared to underestimate him.

The crowd was waiting for the elders to declare him as the winner; however, when they saw the elders moving on to call out the last participant, they were astonished.

"Yang Yan... please come up to the platform".

After those words sounded out, a seemingly ordinarily dressed youth walked up. He did not release any fierce aura that one would expect of a genius like him nor did he carry himself with an air of haughtiness.

He simply walked to the platform and gazed at the crowd with a flat face as if everything happening around him did not concern him.

The audience were right in their observation. Even though Yang Chen accepted his fate and made his resolve to struggle till his last breath inside the tower, it was hard for him to make himself look motivated or even excited for that fact.

So when Elder Han Xuan announced his achievements that sent a shock like a tide surging through the crowd and offered him tons of mischief points, he looked as impassive as ever.

"Breaking all the records, he made a never before precedence by entering the Seventh Floor. His talent and willpower are heads and shoulders above all the other participants. Therefore, we elders declare Yang Yan as the winner of this year’s test"

Han Xuan stated with a face full of smiles. As the last of the words fell, the crowd was sent into a frenzy with sounds of conversation going off everywhere.

"My goodness, is this boy a monster? The other could only reach the fourth floor yet he climbed all the way to the seventh floor. What sort of talent does he possess"...

"Yeah, he even beat that participant named Yan Zhuo and became the winner of this year’s test"..

"Hey, does anyone know which clan he came from? Why do I not have any information about such a genius?"...

"I saw him walking out from the area where the Lin clan was"...

"Lin Clan? Why does it have to be Lin Clan again. They already have Lin Huiyin".

Various sorts of conversation and speculation regarding the genius that made the impossible possible was going around the crowd. Those who were enemies with the Lin clan, couldn’t help but make an ugly face while there were those who were looking at them with the intention of making a connection.

Two of their members became star participants while one even became the winner. No matter how the Lin clan was before, with such talents, they were sure to prosper in the future.

As such, many clans and factions extended their greeting towards them. Lin Mang who had to greet all of them, was in a great mood as the smile on his face refused to go out.

"Haha, to think a day like this would come when our Lin clan would become the envy of all the clans. I must thank young friend Yang Yan. This youth really went ahead and beyond my expectations".

"Who would have known that he would really become the winner of this event? Thanks to him, our Lin clan is getting all the attention and praise. I must let the clan leader know he would definitely be surprised"

On one hand, while Lin Mang was beside himself with joy, Lin Dan on the other was distraught with shock and disbelief.

’How could this happen? How could he be the winner? He should have been someone who was called by Elder Lin Mang to make up for our numbers. Someone who should be beneath me. Yet why is he up there hogging all the attention while I’m here unnoticed and criplled’.

He was in such a state of emotional upheaval that, he felt something within him break. In the end, he was unable to accept his reality as the negative feelings started welling up inside his heart.

On the stage, Han Xuan and the other elders congratulated Yang Chen and all the participants. After which they declared in a voice that drowned the noise coming from the crowd.

"The entrance test for the outer academy of the Holy Orchard Academy, ends here. These 23 participants will be the ones joining the outer academy this year. All the participants that have passed are to arrive at the New Moon City within a month. If you fail to arrive during this time limit your admission will be annulled. So keep that in mind alright".

All the participants on the platform nodded their head. The academy had given them a month of time to prepare themselves and to say goodbyes to their families and friends. After all, once they entered the academy, they can only visit their homeplace again after a long time.

With all the instructions given, the participants were sent back down below.
