High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 589 - 409: Single-Handedly Diminishing the Value of Titled, Mysterious Shadow, The Eve of the Grand Banquet

Impossible, right?!

The group of students from the First Saint Martial University in the private box looked at each other in disbelief. Their first thought was that it couldn’t be true. Although they had been persuading Senior Brother Lu Xun that stopping at the third floor of Junlin Pavilion would be quite impressive.

But they also knew the sky is vast and the earth is thick. Although the First Saint Martial University is a top martial arts academy in Huaxia, Saint Martial University is merely Saint Martial University after all.

The founder of the original Saint Martial University was indeed a Martial Saint, but that was the first principal. The university, having been established for a millennium, now bears the name of a modern Martial Saint.

In terms of heritage, the seven Saint Martial Universities at their founding were even above all martial arts families. The founders of the major families mostly came from Saint Martial University or the Huaxia Military Department.

But times have changed, and after a thousand years, Saint Martial University cannot compare with the Ye and Gu families; they are not in the same league. Some large and thriving martial arts families founded by Titled Grandmasters do not even send their children to Saint Martial University, as their heritage makes them somewhat disdainful of what is now called Saint Martial University.

So these students from the First Saint Martial University never compared Senior Brother Lu Xun with Ye Jian in their hearts; the two of them are not even in the same world.

Yet now someone was telling them that the prodigious young leader cultivated by Ye Jian was actually inferior to Senior Brother Lu Xun?

How could that be!

The chubby guy who spoke, seeing everyone looking at him, his tone weakened considerably, even he began to doubt what he saw with his own eyes.

"You must have seen it wrong!"

Someone spoke up, immediately gaining the agreement of the other students from the First Saint Martial University present, but just as the words fell.

There was a commotion in the area where Junlin Pavilion was located.

A golden light descended, and a figure appeared.

Everyone held their breath and looked, then the area where Junlin Pavilion was located suddenly fell into a deathly silence, but in a moment it completely erupted, in the dense crowd present like a nuclear bomb was dropped and then exploded!

Just because...

The figure transmitted out of that golden light was indeed the once high-spirited Ye Jian, who had advanced to a Titled rank with a Golden Body Fifth Forging before fifty.

And now this dignified Titled Grandmaster, Ye Jian, appeared extremely miserable.

His hair was disheveled, his body stained with blood, his arms weakly drooping. Had people not seen Ye Jian enter Junlin Pavilion just now, they might have found it hard to imagine this was a prodigy of the Ye Family, and might have thought it was a vagrant.

Drops of pale golden blood dripped from his arms, the hot and scorching blood of a Titled Grandmaster condensed like a flood dragon, and as it hit the ground it sizzled, leaving scorched marks on the specially-made road.

"Hiss."

A painful low growl issued from Ye Jian’s mouth, his handsome features somewhat twisted, revealing a bit of ferocity, but more was fear, as if he had just experienced something terrifying.

"This, this is Ye Jian?"

"If I’m not mistaken, he couldn’t even illuminate the third floor after stepping into Junlin Pavilion, does that mean he couldn’t even pass the second trial..."

"Impossible, right?"

"Why not, look at that person from the First Saint Martial University before, what was his name, anyway it’s not important, last time he stopped at the third floor, showing that although he failed he had reached the third floor. But now..."

"Hmph, I thought he was impressive, turns out he’s not worthy of the name, it’s reasonable he’s not as good as Ye Wuhen."

Listening to the crowd’s discussion, especially someone mentioning Ye Wuhen, Ye Jian’s eyes turned bloodshot, his teeth made a terrifying grinding noise, and an endless hatred welled up in his heart.

"Su Mu, you deserve to die, if not for your devious tricks causing anomalies in Junlin Pavilion, I, Ye Jian, wouldn’t have fallen to such a predicament."

In Ye Jian’s eyes flickered with terrifying hatred and murderous intent, blaming everything on Su Mu.

He knew clearly that once today’s events were reported back to the Ye Family, he would be even further from the Ye Family’s Martial Saint Tower, even though he is now stronger than Ye Wuhen, because the next heir of the Ye Family cannot have a blemish.

"Damn it, I’ll kill you, I must kill you, I’ll make you unable to live or die, I’ll make you regret coming to this world!"

Ye Jian clenched his fist, his nails piercing into the blood, then suddenly let out a low roar from his mouth.

"Get lost, if anyone dares to speak another word, I’ll slaughter you!"

A terrifying aura suddenly suppressed the entire scene, instantly making everyone present feel suffocated. What a terrifying aura of a Titled Grandmaster it was, some couldn’t bear it, bleeding from the orifices on the spot.

"Calm down, Ye Jian, go back to the clan first."

Seeing Ye Jian about to lose control, the Ye Family elder guarding Junlin Pavilion immediately intervened, another wave of Titled Grandmaster aura erupted.

"What, you want to stand against me, Ye Jian?"

Ye Jian’s eyes were filled with blood, staring closely at the Ye Family elder.

The Ye Family elder hesitated, and then looked displeased, in terms of seniority, he was Ye Jian’s uncle, usually very close.

"Enough, the clan assigned me to guard Junlin Pavilion, I am responsible for ensuring the normal operation of Junlin Pavilion."

In the elder’s hand, a spiritual light flashed, revealing a bamboo leaf-shaped jade token engraved with the word "Ye." Seeing this token, Ye Jian’s pupils narrowed, for the token presented wasn’t the token guarding Junlin Pavilion, but the Clan Elder Order of the Ye Family.

The Clan Elder Order allows the bearer to participate in the internal affairs of the Ye Family, including the Martial Saint Tower and the next family successor.
