Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 103

Kunlun!

It is the intelligent terminal of the world government, safeguarding the security of the entire world.

Most students held their breath, standing tensely in place, their eyes revealing a sense of awe.

Many students had never heard of “calamity.”

Others had heard of it but had never been involved in anything related to it.

The examiners were somewhat surprised but quickly settled down.

“Hey.”

A voice suddenly rang out from the viewing stands.

“Is that kid Shen Ye alive or dead?”

Everyone followed the sound, and it was Cang Nanyan, a powerful figure from the Human Martial Arts Group.

Qian Rushan sat beside him, his face grim, his eyes full of worry.

Kunlun’s voice sounded again:

“Mr. Cang, you should know that non-professionals who encounter a calamity alone basically cannot survive.”

“—Unless he defected to the calamity.”

Xiao Mengyu was stunned.

The scion in front of her was about to burst into laughter, but several shouts of “Stop!” rang out around him.

The man felt dizzy and, when he came to, he was already shielded behind an examiner.

His neck hurt a little.

He touched it.

Blood.

…Fortunately, it was only a shallow cut.

Could it be that just now—

“Don’t be impulsive, Xiao Mengyu, or I will disqualify you from the exam.”

The Jialan examiner said in a deep voice.

Xiao Mengyu sheathed her sword, her eyes vacant, and was about to speak—

Swoosh.

The void flickered.

A person fell.

This person’s clothes were tattered and wet, and their body was covered in shocking wounds, yet they threw back their head and laughed loudly:

“Hahahahaha, I finally finished the exam—huh? Have you all finished?”

—It was Shen Ye!

Xiao Mengyu’s eyes widened.

The crowd erupted into a buzz, all looking at him.

“No! With his strength, how could he escape the calamity? He must have defected to the calamity!”

The examinee, hiding behind the examiner, shouted loudly.

More and more people realized this.

The crowd scattered in all directions, some even fleeing.

Everything became chaotic.

“Shen Ye, you are arrested!”

The Jialan examiner rushed forward.

“Who dares!”

Another voice shouted.

Boom—

The shockwave from the clash blew many people away.

Cang Nanyan!

He stood in front of Shen Ye, his hand like a blade, sending the Jialan examiner flying.

“Cang Nanyan!” the Jialan examiner shouted, “You should know how terrifying the calamity is; don’t harm yourself!”

“Hmph, none of your business,” Cang Nanyan said, crossing his arms with an indifferent look.

Qian Rushan quickly walked to Shen Ye’s side and whispered:

“Did you sign any contract with the calamity?”

“There was a gamble,” Shen Ye replied truthfully.

Qian Rushan’s face darkened, and he whispered, “Then what?”

“I won,” Shen Ye said.

“Well, after being enslaved, there isn’t really a good way out, you can only—wait, you won?”

ωwш▲ ttκΛ n▲ C O

“That’s right,” Shen Ye said.

“What about the calamity?” Cang Nanyan asked.

“It ran away,” Shen Ye said, shrugging.

Cang Nanyan and Qian Rushan exchanged glances.

“Impossible,” another voice rang out from the high platform.

It was the Guixu High School examiner.

“You actually won in a calamity’s gamble? There must be something wrong,” he said, staring at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye was furious, and reached for his butt, only to touch a pile of parts.

Oh right.

His phone was destroyed by Zhao Yibing.

But for a phone, as long as the storage unit is still intact—

It should be fine.

“I have a live video, but unfortunately, my phone was destroyed.”

Shen Ye said.

He suddenly remembered something and immediately said, “Quick! There’s a bomb at Yunshan Port! You need to go investigate quickly!”

No one moved.

All the experts just stared at him, as if facing a formidable enemy.

“Shen Ye, to gain trust now, you must let Kunlun repair your phone immediately and retrieve the video from it,” Qian Rushan asked softly.

“Retrieve it then—hurry up and deal with Yunshan Port!” Shen Ye snapped.

He pulled out all his phone parts and placed them on a small silver tray.

The small tray immediately flew up, ascended to the ceiling, and disappeared into a certain passage.

Only a dozen seconds passed.

The majestic electronic voice sounded again:

“It’s a matter of great importance. Retrieving the memory video from Shen Ye’s mobile device.”

“Relevant intelligence has been found.”

“Comprehensive judgment indicates that Shen Ye was not enslaved by the calamity.”

“He won the gamble against the calamity.”

“Beginning to investigate dangerous factors at Yunshan Port.”

“Danger level elevated to red.”

Everyone looked at each other.

Cang Nanyan laughed loudly: “Hahahaha, it seems our Human Martial Arts Group’s newcomer is the strongest; even the calamity couldn’t trouble him. Good! Truly good!”

In the viewing stands, another female voice rang out:

“This is impossible. I request that the video be made public, reported to the arbitration committee, to thoroughly inspect whether there is any foul play in this incident.”

Madam An!

The word “arbitration committee” made even Cang Nanyan stop laughing and frown.

“Don’t stop me, Cang Nanyan. You also know that sometimes the intel chip’s judgment can be flawed. Many human signals and codes can escape its notice.”

Madam An spoke righteously, with a serious expression.

“I want the arbitration committee to thoroughly investigate the truth of the matter. Every conversation between Shen Ye and the calamity should be made public!”

“If he made no mistake, he’ll naturally be fine, but if he showed any submission to the calamity, then he is a heretic!”

Cang Nanyan looked at Shen Ye.

“Come on, I don’t care,” Shen Ye shrugged.

That majestic, vast electronic voice sounded again:

“The video has been published as per the Song family’s request, and the matter will now be handed over to the Arbitration Committee for further investigation.”

In the hall, a holographic image quietly appeared.

—Shen Ye’s phone video!

On the screen, Zhao Yibing floated in mid-air, emitting billows of dark mist, and said languidly:

“I particularly appreciate the evil in you humans.”

“Guess what—”

“Can your video be sent out?”

She floated in mid-air, looking down at Shen Ye and said:

“I must confess, I originally intended to activate this domain further.”

“But as soon as I made a move, I realized something.”

“—Shen Ye, you humans have already activated the domain, specifically setting up such a challenge for you.”

“So you can’t blame me.”

The expressions of those watching the video changed.

Shen Ye’s voice rang out: “You think I’ll believe that?”

The Skinner roared, “If the great閣下 really wanted to deal with you, you’d be dead by now.”

Immediately after, Nangong Sirui and the young girl appeared, then quickly departed.

This scene confirmed Nangong Sirui’s words.

—He personally saw the calamity, and he also saw Shen Ye.

The Skinner’s voice then rang out: “It’s Yunshan Port—three cargo ships, their lower holds are all bombs. If they detonate, the entire port will be utterly destroyed.”

“Yunshan Port will sink into the sea, and all the mortals on the island will die.”

“The exam will also be immediately interrupted.”

“Brother Shen Ye, you won’t be eliminated, because once such a huge explosion occurs, everything will have to start over, and so will the exam.”

“The exam will become more rigorous, and no one will be able to secretly make trouble for you.”

He raised his head, his cloudy eyes slowly watching the camera.

Everyone was in an uproar.

“Calm down! Kunlun has sent experts to deal with it! The examination hall needs silence!” the examiner shouted.

On the screen, the conversation continued.

Shen Ye rejected the other party’s arrangements, which relieved everyone.

Zhao Yibing began to set up a wager.

“How about I make a bet with you?”

“How do we bet?” Shen Ye asked.

Zhao Yibing said, “There’s still an assessment later, which is the strongest challenge in this domain. I bet you absolutely cannot pass.”

…

“The wager has been placed.”

“Go, go and feel the traps those people prepared for you. You must deeply experience their malice.”

“I hope that one day, you will use the power I bestow upon you to kill them all.”

“I will personally preside over the ritual of corruption for you on the altar of endless wailing souls.”

Many people present changed their expressions.

The Jialan examiner frowned, as if he had encountered a troublesome matter.

And not just him?

In the viewing stands, those originally composed big figures began to grow uneasy.

The video started to shake.

With a click, the video ended.

“See clearly? I didn’t indulge her, and now I’ve won the bet and am free!”

Shen Ye said, winking at Xiao Mengyu.

Xiao Mengyu asked blankly, “Do you… understand the significance of this?”

“I survived?” Shen Ye asked.

This guy is really ignorant.

He had no idea what this meant.

“The domain’s recognition!”

“Shen Ye, being able to defeat a calamity—from any aspect, as long as you overcome them, you can gain the domain’s recognition!” Xiao Mengyu said hurriedly.

Domain?

Shen Ye was slightly taken aback.

According to previously obtained information, the domain should be the source of power.

What benefits would gaining its recognition bring?

Madam An suddenly spoke, “But the exam is over, Shen Ye, you exceeded the exam time.”

“Alright, don’t try anything with the exam. You are indeed eliminated—this is a rule upheld for thousands of years; no one can ignore it,” said the Jialan examiner.

“But he did win the gamble. From a practical standpoint, we should grant him guaranteed admission,” said the Xirang examiner.

“Further review is needed to see how he won and what shortcut he took to win the gamble,” said the Jialan examiner.

“No need!” Shen Ye said.

The Jialan examiner suddenly turned to stare at him, speaking rapidly: “This is a necessary procedure, unless you’re not attending one of the three major universities, otherwise we must know how you won the gamble.”

Shen Ye said, “I’m not attending any of the three major universities.”

“You—what? You’re not going?” The Jialan examiner was surprised.

Shen Ye smiled, and with a flick of his hand, took out a piece of wood, holding it flat in his palm.

“The wooden statues in the examination hall are absolutely forbidden to be taken out, Shen Ye, this is cheating!” the Jialan examiner shouted.

He reached out to grab the piece of wood, saying, “Now I suspect you’re cheating—”

Before he finished speaking, a force suddenly struck him, sending him flying.

The crowd erupted in a thunderous gasp.

Even the people in the viewing stands stood up, staring intently at the scene.

A phantom dragon head emerged around the wooden object.

The dragon head gradually solidified into shape.

Then came the dragon’s body, claws, tail, and auspicious clouds surrounding the flying dragon.

The flying dragon appeared!

It clamped the piece of wood in its mouth and soared into the sky, circling the entire hall once, emitting a long dragon’s roar:

“Today, the human descendant Shen Ye has successfully passed the joint assessment of the Four Great Sects, earning the status of a true disciple. He is hereby permitted to join the Hun Tian Sect as a true disciple!”

“This is an ancient law of the domain, and cannot be violated.”

A ball of light was spat out by the flying dragon, landing in front of Shen Ye and hovering motionlessly.

The light dissipated.

It was a small jade plaque.

The front of the jade plaque was carved with a towering gate, and the back inscribed with the four small characters “Huntian, Shen Ye.”
