Chapter 699: Who Do You Call a Stray Cat and Dog?
The gaze lingered, carrying a subtle tone of mockery.
Although no words were exchanged, both Bai Mingshan and Jian Wannian seemed to secretly believe that an ordinary-looking boy like him could never compare to the exceptional disciples from their sects in terms of talent. They viewed the comparison as impossible and felt that, perhaps, they would be proven wrong one day.
Among the young disciples of the three major forces, though not all, there were several who, at this moment, looked at him with open hostility and disdain.
They had previously exuded arrogance, feeling superior because they didn’t have to line up. However, when they saw Su Yi entering, their expressions shifted to discomfort. Observing the respectful treatment given to Xi Wuqing by the Yutian Palace added to their displeasure. The superiority they once held quickly turned to something far more intense. Their gazes at Su Yi became difficult to hide, tinged with clear disdain.
Su Yi’s eyes scanned the room, locking with the gazes from the major sects. His brow furrowed slightly, betraying a hint of discomfort. Without hesitation, he lifted his gaze slightly, allowing a cold glint to flash across his eyes.
“It seems a lot of people are eager to see you humiliated, huh?”
Xi Wuqing’s calm voice whispered in Su Yi’s ear as he stood behind him, hands clasped. His tone was not lowered deliberately, indicating that he had not considered the individuals from these three major powers as important from the start.
“What exactly does this test measure?”
Su Yi softly asked, completely unaware of the nature of the Yutian Palace’s detection. If it was similar to the Sacred Mountain’s talent test, he feared the possibility of being ridiculed by these people.
“Ha ha…”
The sound of Bai Mingshan and Jian Wannian laughing followed after hearing Su Yi’s question. It amused them that he seemed clueless, making it all the more unlikely for him to pass the test.
Among the disciples of the Divine Sword School, Tianxuan Sect, and Qingyun Sect, several couldn’t hold back their laughter when they realized Su Yi knew nothing. It seemed he had vastly overestimated his abilities by coming to Yutian Palace for testing.
“As a disciple of Qingyun Sect, one must adhere to the rules of Qingyun Sect!”
Two young disciples of Qingyun Sect exchanged mocking glances, their actions catching Elder Suyun’s attention. He immediately leaned in and whispered in a tone loud enough for several of the Qingyun Sect disciples to hear.
Their words echoed in the ears of others, causing the two disciples’ expressions to shift, and they straightened up, composing themselves.
Ignoring everyone around him, Xi Wuqing turned to Su Yi and answered, “The test for martial practitioners is straightforward, focusing on elemental energy and innate talent. For alchemists, craftsmen, and Soul Tamers, the process is simpler, but the challenges are far more complex. In essence, the test measures the quality and level of one’s soul!”
“Just testing souls, huh…”
Su Yi’s expression softened as he processed the information. The weight on his chest seemed to lift. He reassured Xi Wuqing, “Don’t worry, not just anyone can mock us!”
“Kid, who are you calling ‘just anyone’!”
A sharp voice rang out, brimming with fury.
Su Yi had not spoken quietly, and his words echoed through the hall. The audience, consisting not only of powerful figures like Bai Mingshan and Jian Wannian but also alchemists, craftsmen, and Soul Tamers, couldn’t have missed them. Even if he had lowered his voice, it would have been impossible to escape their attention.
Clearly, Su Yi’s comment had insulted someone, and it immediately caused anger to flare.
Su Yi followed the line of sight of the voice and saw a young disciple from Tianxuan Sect, whose face was contorted with anger.
This young disciple appeared to be in his early twenties, dressed in a magnificent purple robe that befitted his status. His features were handsome, but his eyes were cold and fixed on Su Yi.
“Zoom…”
At that moment, all eyes in the grand hall turned toward Su Yi.
Several of those gazes were laced with a chilling disdain, coming from young disciples who had always looked down on Su Yi.
As the Tianxuan Sect disciple spoke, Jian Wannian remained unfazed, his lips curling into a slight smile. Rather than reprimanding anyone, he simply glanced at Su Yi with a neutral expression.
“Whoever speaks up gets to choose between Ah Mao and Ah Gou.”
Su Yi responded coolly, his gaze resting on the Tianxuan Sect disciple, clearly showing his displeasure.
His words couldn’t have been clearer. They immediately caused the young disciple from Tianxuan Sect to flush with anger, his face a mix of red and green. His eyes narrowed with fury, and he sneered, “How dare you insult me, kid!”
“What’s wrong with calling you out? Let me ask. I’ve never wronged any of you, nor do I care about all the noise you make about being from prestigious sects. If I step on someone’s tail by accident, why do they feel the need to jump up and make a scene? Honestly, what’s so special about disciples from these so-called prestigious sects? I don’t care for them at all.”
Su Yi’s words made the young disciple from Tianxuan Sect’s face darken completely. His gaze turned icy as he stared at Su Yi and muttered, “As for you, I’m not interested in even wasting my time on you!”
His words rang through the hall, powerful and resounding.
Suddenly, the hall fell into silence, leaving even the three Deputy Palace Masters from Yutian Palace slightly stunned.
Xi Wuqing paused for a moment before glancing at Su Yi. He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and give a subtle thumbs-up. His expression showed genuine admiration for how effortlessly Su Yi had delivered such a biting retort.
The young man from Tianxuan Sect turned pale and red, his body trembling as he struggled to breathe, visibly shaken by Su Yi’s words.
As one of the most prominent disciples of Tianxuan Sect, a Soul Tamer, he was used to being revered. No one dared show him disrespect within his own sect. Even the elders treated him with great respect.
Now, a young, relatively unknown boy who seemed younger than him had appeared and completely ignored him. He couldn’t bear the humiliation of being disregarded like this.
“Kid, you… you’re asking for trouble!”
The young disciple’s face twitched, but as one of Tianxuan Sect’s finest, he quickly regained control, his expression hardening with cold resolve. He decided that the only way to deal with someone like Su Yi was to overpower him. With a chilling glare, he launched himself toward Su Yi.
“Boom!”
Su Yi, sensing the approach, raised his arm and formed a palm imprint that harnessed his vital energy. Without hesitation, he directed it fiercely at the disciple’s chest.
Su Yi’s gaze sharpened as the figure drew closer. A cold thrill surged within him. He was eager to test the strength of this remarkable young disciple from Tianxuan Sect.
