More importantly, he has the talent to annoy everyone around him, including her.

"He's so fierce," Han Fu commented after hearing Qin Zheng's explanation. 

Ye Jiao and Gao Yun: "…" which part of his speech could describe him as fierce? They couldn't see it.

"Anyway, I'm going ahead." Han Fu yawned. "Those exercises are tiring me out. I don't understand why they have to make the examination this hard."

"You're great, Miss Ye Jiao," Gao Yun looked at Ye Jiao. "But next time, I'm not going to lose."

This time, he ended up as the second person because Ye Jiao arrived first. It displeased him, but he was one that could accept defeat. This just meant that he had to work harder if he wanted to overcome Ye Jiao.

"I'm not going to give up that easily too," Ye Jiao chuckled.

"See you tomorrow, Miss Ye Jiao."

"See you tomorrow too, Senior Gao Yun."

Gao Yun was surprised to hear the way she called him, but he nodded his head. It would be weird to call him in any other way. Since they were not close and he was also older than Ye Jiao, it would be more appropriate to call him 'senior.'

The two of them soon walked to the city while Ye Jiao was still standing in her place, absorbing Eon Energy from her surroundings.

"Let's head to the city."

The familiar voice from behind her caused her to turn around. She smiled when she saw Qi Huan had finished the examination. Not far from him, Cao Ren and Chen Zi Quan were standing. Their appearances were slightly ragged. It seemed that they didn't manage to come out unscathed.

The test was quite tricky, so it was not strange to see many youngsters in battered condition. Even Ye Jiao felt that it was quite hard even if she didn't have any wounds from the examination just now.

"I didn't expect this to be preliminary," Cao Ren grunted. He thought that it was already the last examination. But it turned out that there would be more examinations to come.

"Well, it's a bit too easy for some people," Chen Zi Quan said in a bitter tone. His eyes were looking at the three people at the front with displeasure. It was clear that he didn't expect that he would fare this bad.

"What's your ranking?" Qi Huan asked nonchalantly. When he came out, he noticed that there were around 10 or so people, so he should be still pretty early.

"Probably 30 something," Cao Ren shrugged. "I don't think it's that important considering that all of us can just participate in the second examination."

"Right," Chen Zi Quan turned around. "Let's just see tomorrow."

"I can say the same to you," Qi Huan replied indifferently.

"Heh, don't worry about me."

As soon as Cao Ren left, Lu Wan walked out of the barrier. His clothes were partially torn, and there were branches stuck in his green hair. It was hard to not laugh with his hair looked like a bush with that branch and several leaves stuck.

"Ah, you're already here?"

"You're late, Lu Wan."

Lu Wan clicked his tongue. "Tsk, I still hear the announcement from that annoying man. It seems that I'm still included in the top 100."

"You hear it?"

"Yes. Right after I finished the last stage, I can hear the voice," Lu Wan frowned. Apparently, he also didn't have a good impression of Qin Zheng. "And I have to admit, I don't like that arrogant genius."

���You still acknowledge him?"

"Well, he's an Elite Disciple," Lu Wan said in a sulky tone. Even though he didn't like that annoying young man, he knew that Qin Zheng must have some capabilities to be able to be an Elite Disciple in that young age. With the boy's youthful appearance and also his height, there wouldn't be anyone who wouldn't be able to guess his real age.

Qi Huan chuckled. He looked at Ye Jiao. "Congratulations for finishing in the first place, Miss Ye Jiao."

"You're flattering me," Ye Jiao smiled. She was partially eavesdropping while absorbing Eon Energy. Her hands have felt much better, but she was sure that she would need to tend to it after she reached the city later. Their conversation was quite interesting since she knew them.

It was just, she was unable to talk to them directly openly.

After all, in other people's eyes, she was nothing more than a stranger that suddenly popped out of nowhere.

"Oh, did you get here quickly?" Lu Wan asked with widened eyes.

"She's the first one, Idiot."

"I'm not idi… wait, did you just say first? You mean, you're the first one?"

"Yes," Ye Jiao didn't deny it and just replied in a flat tone. She looked back at Lu Wan with a smile, but there was not even a trace of haughtiness in her face. "I got lucky and managed to finish the examination early."

"…"

If by being lucky one could finish the examination that quick, Lu Wan truly wanted that luck. He knew very well that the test was designed to let them understand themselves better. When he had to face the options of what his real desire was, it was so hard for him to decide. In the end, it took him a long time before he could find his answer and passed the stage.

As for the battle, he just made use of his weapon because he couldn't summon out his poison. They were categorized in the medicine category, so he couldn't take them out.

"I want to go to the city and wash up. Tomorrow, I'll make sure that I get in the first place!" Lu Wan was fired up as he ran to the direction of the gate.

Ye Jiao shook her head lightly. "Did you have any trouble finishing it, Senior Qi?"

"Hm?" Qi Huan looked in Ye Jiao's direction for a moment. He then smiled in the next moment. "There are some things that I'm unable to come to terms too, but I manage to break the illusion in the end. There are even some things that I didn't expect to see."

"It's that strong?"

"Yes," Qi Huan pursed his lips. After experiencing that, he came to understand that his desire and dream were not as clear as he thought they were. Some things would influence his decision.

"I see."

Qi Huan looked in Ye Jiao's direction. "Jiao'er, did you…?"

"Yes?"

The young girl's expression was awfully calm and unperturbed. He could see that all that was inside her mind was her own condition right now. A small smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "It's nothing. You should treat your wound. You wouldn't want it to affect your performance tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah, I'll just treat it here," Ye Jiao moved a bit away from the way the participants came out and sat down. Afterwards, she took out a bandage and also several other medicines from her storage bracelet.

Qi Huan watched Ye Jiao treat her own wounds for a few seconds. "I need to return back too. Tomorrow, I won't lose against you too."

"We shall see, Prince Qi Huan," Ye Jiao smiled back.

After they had finished talking, Qi Huan flashed a smile and walked in the direction of the city. On the other hand, Ye Jiao stayed there and treated her wounds calmly. More and more people came out of the barrier with a ragged appearance. They seemed like they were about to collapse.

Suddenly, Ye Jiao could sense a killing intent directed at her. She raised her head and saw a young man around the age of 17 years old, looking at her with a frown on his face. He has dark yellow hair with sharp eyes.

"Senior Su Kang, what are you doing over there?"

"It's nothing. Let's treat our wound."

"Yes!"

Ye Jiao looked at the young man with widened eyes. She frowned slightly.

Su?

This would be the second time she saw someone with the surname Su showing his hatred to her. Even though she didn't do anything to them, it seemed that they hated her to the bone.

'Just what happens between the Su Family and my father or mother?'

Ye Jiao didn't know, but she knew that she had to be careful around the Su Family. She wouldn't do anything for now because she was not sure their reason, but if they decided to attack her, she would never let them off!
