Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 109

Shen Ye jogged off the training ground.

Soldiers immediately came to check his token and led him towards the barracks.

“A disciple of the Hun Tian Sect? Rare indeed. I heard you seldom appear in public. It’s a rare chance to see you this time.”

The soldier looked at him with admiration.

All the passing soldiers smiled at him in a friendly and sincere manner.

Shen Ye was a bit unsure and didn’t respond.

The soldier led him to a row of barracks, chose room A-1, and opened the door.

“Conditions in the military camp are tough, we only managed to gather these few things for you temporarily. Please bear with us, Brother Shen.”

The soldier said.

“Oh no, this is already great,” Shen Ye quickly replied.

“Then you can rest. Officer Wu said you can join the evening assembly if you wish, or you can ignore outside matters and get a good night’s sleep,” the soldier said.

“Okay, thank you!”

The soldier closed the door and left.

Shen Ye stood in the middle of the room, holding his breath for a moment.

It seemed…

There was no test…

On the table were a few snacks, next to them was steaming hot tea, and a heavy letter lay beside it.

He opened the envelope, and inside were folded silver notes.

A note was left on the table:

“Please help yourself.”

A brand new set of armor hung on the wall.

Shen Ye silently looked at the silver, then at the armor.

A line of faint words appeared next to the armor:

“Fish Scale Bright Armor.”

“Green (Excellent).”

“Possesses good defensive capabilities, capable of defending against physical attacks while also offering some defense against elemental attacks.”

“—The standard armor for generals in the current era.”

Shen Ye turned around and pushed open the back door.

He saw a patch of lush green bamboo in the courtyard, with a small training ground in the middle, and a steaming hot spring diverted to a corner.

Hiss—

This test is something else!

Instead of just standing there dumbfounded, why not try to see if this test is real or fake!

Shen Ye took off his dirty leather armor, then stripped off his clothes, and with a “plop” jumped into the hot spring.

Warm!

Completely relaxed!

He waited a while longer, and still no one came to scold him.

This test is good.

I’ll come again next time.

Shen Ye leaned back in the water, sighing comfortably.

—Until this moment, the oppression by the aristocratic families, the terrifying gambling game forced upon him by the Lord of the Weeping Demonic Prison, and the deadly blow from the human puppet in the arena, all such matters vanished like bubbles.

The joy of victory finally surfaced in his heart.

No, can’t be too complacent!

Shen Ye splashed water on his face, silently motivating himself, when suddenly a chorus of shouts came from the training ground in the distance.

The voices of Nangong Sirui and Guo Yunye were clearly audible.

They seemed to be sprinting.

Shen Ye listened for a while, gradually discerning the gist of it.

Guo Yunye seemed to be challenging Nangong Sirui’s position, and their voices were particularly loud, neither willing to yield to the other.

Aren’t they tired?

Shen Ye submerged himself in the water, only to resurface a while later.

Hmm…

This felt even better.

Shen Ye reached out and pulled out the new student card from his clothes by the water’s edge.

Several lines of faint words shimmered on the card face:

“Exam concluded, all candidate information updated!”

“You have joined Xirang High School and possess the qualification of a true disciple of the ancient Hun Tian Sect.”

“The representative color of Xirang High School is gold, and the Hun Tian Sect uses flying dragons as mounts, so the design of your card has also changed.”

—The card surface was inlaid with golden lines, and flying dragon scales were faintly visible, making the entire card’s appearance far superior to before!

Shen Ye flipped the card to the front.

On the card, behind him was still a crescent moon, but the surrounding scenery had changed.

Under the bright moonlight, his hands shimmered with lightning, and frost formed at his feet as he stood proudly on the shoulder of a giant statue.

The statue’s face was unclear, only a human silhouette could be seen.

But two large characters were carved in the void:

“HUN TIAN.”

A line of gracefully written words appeared beside him:

“Kill one man in ten steps, travel a thousand li without stopping.”

“—True Disciple of Hun Tian!”

One by one, stars emerged deep in the sky.

Six in total.

“Shen Ye.”

“Human martial arts group selection student, true disciple of Hun Tian (recognized by the Dharma Realm), new student of Xirang High School.”

“Strength Level: Six Stars.”

“New student of Xirang High School.”

“Evaluation: A talented junior who became a true disciple of the Hun Tian Sect. However, the Hun Tian Sect has long disappeared in the annals of time. What he can gain and how far he can grow is worth anticipating.”

Hmm?

No ranking anymore?

What about Xiao Mengyu?

“Show the leaderboard,” Shen Ye said.

The leaderboard immediately appeared.

To his surprise, there were no rankings on the leaderboard now.

Only two lines of red characters:

“You have become a preparatory student for the three major high schools, thus leaving the new student list.”

“To be added to the list of preparatory students for the three major high schools, please wait.”

The rankings couldn’t be displayed, but Nangong Sirui and Xiao Mengyu’s card information could still be viewed.

“Show Nangong Sirui’s card.”

Shen Ye said.

Nangong Sirui’s image immediately appeared on the back of the card.

This top-ranked individual still sat high on his throne, beneath which lay piles of various weapons, armor, and rare treasures.

Shen Ye noticed that the card’s evaluation of him had also changed:

“Nangong Sirui.”

“The eldest son of the Nangong family in this generation, inheritor of the ancestral lineage.”

“Strength Level: Six Stars.”

wωw ●TTκan ●c○

“New student of Xirang High School.”

“The undeniable number one of the year, with the strongest talent and combat power, further supported by the full backing of his family, endless treasures and resources, truly unrivaled.”

Hiss—

Endless treasures and resources?

That truly is formidable.

What about Xiao Mengyu?

The card changed, and Xiao Mengyu leaped onto it.

“Xiao Mengyu.”

“A disciple of the Luo family.”

“Strength Level: Six Stars.”

“New student of Xirang High School.”

“Official card, the number one swordsman among all candidates, and also the top student in this examination. Furthermore, she publicly gained the recognition of the divine sword Luo Shui, her strength should not be underestimated.”

—So, the ranking is determined by achievements, as well as weaponry and background.

On the original leaderboard, the third position had become an unfamiliar girl.

She was a new student at the Jialan Academy.

Shen Ye lost interest and put away the card.

Regardless of how the Tower of Tarot evaluated him, he indeed didn’t possess many treasures.

If he encountered Nangong Sirui, it would indeed be…

A bit difficult.

A voice suddenly rang out:

“Being outmatched, does it bother you?”

The Big Skeleton.

It seemed to be paying attention to what was happening outside.

“Hmph, they’ve been training for over a decade, I’ve only been training for a short while. It’s normal not to be able to compare,”

Shen Ye shook his head indifferently.

“Is that so? That guy is always comparing himself to you,” Big Skeleton said.

“You can tell that too?” Shen Ye said in surprise.

“Even a fool could see it—speaking of which, are you really content to be suppressed by such a gender-ambiguous, self-important, punchable-looking fellow?” Big Skeleton asked.

“It’s fine, I don’t care,” Shen Ye said with a smile.

“Hmm, then I’m relieved. There’s nothing going on right now, so I’ll go take a nap,” Big Skeleton said.

“You go ahead.”

The conversation ended.

A few minutes later.

Shen Ye got out of the water, dried himself, got dressed, and returned to his room.

“Rest…”

He silently recited in his heart.

To be honest, it had been a tiring day, and it was indeed time to rest.

But as soon as he thought of Nangong Sirui’s provocative look—

“Huh? What are you doing?” Big Skeleton’s surprised voice rang out.

“I just had a comfortable soak, and I happen to be free, so I’m practicing some moves,” Shen Ye said with a smile.

“Aren’t you tired?” Big Skeleton asked curiously.

“I am, but I just had a hot spring bath, so I’ll get some activity in—a balance of work and rest,” Shen Ye said.

“Whatever you want, I’m going to get some rest,” Big Skeleton mumbled, then fell silent.

Shen Ye stood in position in the courtyard and began to perform Frost Moon Tremor.

If you’re not convinced, just practice!

I’ll keep practicing and raise all my skill levels!

Shen Ye practiced for a while, then suddenly remembered something.

His “Thunder Palm Essential” was only at the ‘minor accomplishment’ stage, not yet at the ‘peak’ stage.

Because to reach that stage, he needed at least 15 points of悟性.

At that time, even if he added all his free attribute points, it wouldn’t be enough.

But now it’s different—

His悟性 was 10 points, plus another 10 free attribute points, which was far more than the required 15 points.

This was enough to understand the ‘peak’ stage of Thunder Palm!

No sooner said than done!

Shen Ye put all his free attribute points into comprehension and began to comprehend Thunder Palm.

At once, all the moves of the “Thunder Palm Essential” reappeared in his mind.

But this time, his understanding of Thunder Palm was completely different.

Previously, moves were just moves in his heart.

And now—

Every move was completely disassembled, each method of striking was broken down, then re-integrated to form a brand new, incredibly powerful lightning-attribute palm technique.

Shen Ye spread his hands and drew a circle in the air.

Two bolts of lightning slid from his fingertips, materializing in the void, smooth and silent, possessing both the wildness of lightning and a tranquility that lightning typically lacked.

Shen Ye then extended his hand and clapped in the center of the lightning—

Amidst the chaotic crackling of electricity, a hand, about two meters high and entirely composed of lightning, flew out and surged skyward.

—The realm of peak mastery!

Its power was incomparable to before!

Lines of faint words then appeared in the void:

“Your Thunder Tremor Palm has officially advanced to the first realm of the Dharma Realm.”

“Please note:”

“As you are in the Dharma Realm and a disciple of the Hun Tian Sect, you have activated the Dharma Realm inheritance power of the Moonlit Lineage.”

“From now on, when your Frost Bite, Sky Shadow, and Flowing Moon all advance to the first realm of the Dharma Realm, you will receive information about the relics left by the Hun Tian Sect’s Dharma Realm!”
