Now, the people of the Cao family could no longer sit still. This concerned the reputation of the Cao family, and they could not just sit back and watch.
The young man headed by the Cao family had a gloomy expression on his face. Although the Cao family and the Ye family were only exchanging ideas and had not yet implemented or confirmed the matter,... unfortunately, he was one of the parties involved.
"Elder Ye Chong, I am also curious about this. Can you explain it?" Cao Dan looked at Xiao Yan's ordinary face, then turned his gaze and looked at Ye Chong and asked.
Seeing this, Qiu Fan chuckled and slowly sat back in his seat. It didn't matter who Ye Zhong brought with him, and it didn't matter whether it would affect the assessment. The Cao family was the most important.
"Cao Dan, it's none of your business what my Ye family does!" Ye Xinlan's eyes turned cold and he said in a low voice.
"Xinlan, you are my fiancée, it seems I need to teach you what the rules are!" Cao Dan's eyes condensed slightly, the space around him twisted quietly, and the scorching temperature emanated quietly.
"Don't give me that!" Ye Xinlan clenched her fists and shouted, "Without my parents' permission, without the matchmaker's words, and even your Cao family, you Cao Dan, have always looked down on me for marrying above my station!"
"What? Do you think I'm precious now?"
Ye Xinlan's merciless questioning made Cao Dan's face flush red, and veins on his forehead bulged. He was immediately furious and raised his hand to slap him. A light black flame surged and a hot palm wind whistled out.
“Stop!” Ye Zhong’s face suddenly changed. He didn’t expect things to develop to this point. It only took him a few words!
Bang!
At this moment, a figure stood in front of Ye Xinlan, raised his hand and shattered Cao Dan's hot and sharp palm wind.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to hit a girl like this?" Lu Yu said lightly.
"Boy, who are you?" Cao Shan shouted harshly. He had no good feelings towards the man in front of him at all.
"Xiao Yan!" Lu Yu curled his lips and gave the fake name he had been using.
"Xiao Yan?!"
Suddenly, everyone in the testing room subconsciously jumped up from their chairs and looked at Lu Yu with horror on their faces.
"That Xiao Yan who claims to be a Dou Emperor?"
"That Xiao Yan who doesn't even take the Soul Palace seriously? How dare he?"
"This person was able to take Cao Dan's blow. Cao Dan is a three-star Dou Zong. He is extremely powerful!"
Everyone was talking about it, with horror on their faces. It really didn’t matter whether one had the qualifications to become a Dou Di, but it was important to dare to challenge the Soul Palace!
They were all Danta's people. All the famous alchemists in the family had suffered attacks from the Soul Palace. Some were lucky enough to survive, but more had their souls abducted by the Soul Palace and their lives or deaths were unknown.
"Boy, I don't care who you are!" Cao Dan shouted angrily, "You should know that this is not..."
"Does your Cao family have a Fighting Saint?" Before he could finish, Lu Yu asked with a faint smile.
Hearing this, the anger on Cao Dan's face froze. If his Cao family had a Douluo, would they still have to stay under the protection of Danta?
"Does your Cao family have a ninth-grade alchemist?" Lu Yu continued to ask.
"..." The corner of Cao Dan's mouth twitched. A ninth-grade alchemist might not even be found in Danta!
"Then how dare you threaten me?" Lü Yu sneered and asked, "Is your Cao family more terrifying than the Soul Palace?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yu raised his palm and slapped Cao Dan on the face. His five fingers were like iron pliers, which made Cao Dan's face hurt. He was a three-star Dou Zong and thought he was quite powerful, but this guy...
Bang!
Lu Yu shook his wrist and suddenly released energy from his palm.
A sonic boom suddenly sounded, Cao Dan tilted his head back, staggered backwards, and sat back on the chair he had been sitting on.
"puff……"
"Ha ha……"
Suddenly, suppressed laughter came from the direction of the Qiu family, and Cao Dan's face turned ashen.
"Xiao Yan, the strength of an alchemist is not due to his fighting spirit. Just wait!"
Cao Dan clenched his fists, veins bulged on his forehead, and he squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
He already knew from the fight just now that he was no match for Xiao Yan, but... it didn't matter. Things change over time, and I must get back at him!
"Oh..." Lu Yu shrugged nonchalantly. Just wait. It was Xiao Yan's business anyway. What did it have to do with me, Lu Yu?
That’s just right, maybe you and Xiao Yan have a lot in common.
“Ahem…Okay, all of you energetic young people, it’s time to continue the assessment!” At this time, the room with the word “Di” written on the door opened, and a white-haired old man walked out slowly, followed by a dejected young man.
The young man ignored the strange atmosphere in the room and sat dejectedly in the corner. It was obvious that the results of the assessment just now were not ideal.
"People from the Ye family, let's start the assessment, Xin Lan, and this... Xiao Yan, right?" The old man turned his gaze and looked at the two people from the Ye family.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the testing room changed. The Qiu family and the Cao family, whose face had just been humiliated, looked at the Ye family with mocking expressions. The show began.
A good show that can be seen every year, a good show that the five major families in Danyu love to watch, called the Clown Ye Family!
"Han... Deacon Han..." Ye Xinlan's face turned pale, and she said hesitantly, "I am taking the test... the fifth-grade test..."
"Haha... Not bad, not bad, you've made progress compared to before!"
"Yes, I was only at the fourth level last year. I have indeed made a lot of progress...hahaha..."
Deacon Han frowned slightly as he listened to the noisy voices in his ears, but he still said in a friendly manner: "The fifth rank is not bad, go to the Yellow Gate and go in directly."
"Thank you, Deacon Han." Ye Xinlan clenched her fists and walked towards Huangmen with a pale face.
Although this kind of thing has happened many times, but... she still feels very uncomfortable.
"What about you?" Deacon Han looked at Lu Yu and asked with a smile, "Xiao Yan, right? What grade of badge do you want to take the test for?"
"Ahem...Xin Lan's show is over, but there's still one more!"
"Haha, double happiness this year..."
"The Ye family is so nice. They know how hard it is for us to make pills, so they offer us some more joy...hahaha..."
"In fact, it's good that the Ye family doesn't withdraw from the five major families. Isn't it still useful?"
After hearing what Deacon Han said, the Qiu and Cao families looked at Lu Yu jokingly, laughing and watching the show.
Cao Dan sneered. So what if he has strong fighting ability and high level of fighting spirit?
Here, refining medicine is the king!
"Hmm..." Lu Yu's brows sank. He remembered that the upper limit of Deacon Han's assessment was the seventh grade advanced level... or was it the seventh grade intermediate level?
"Is the seventh-grade advanced level okay?" Lu Yu asked after a moment of hesitation. He was not in a hurry to assess the eighth grade. After all, the eighth grade was definitely not something that Deacon Han could assess.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the test room who was laughing loudly stood there in a daze, their faces flushed red from holding their breath.
"Young man...you must be down-to-earth..." Deacon Han frowned and gave earnest advice.
Chapter 272 Tell me your name, you are not Xiao Yan!
"Seventh...seventh rank advanced?"
Ye Chong's mouth trembled suddenly. When "Xiao Yan" made the request before, he agreed, but did not ask the other party about the level of assessment.
In his opinion, the other party had a good reputation and should not be too bad, but that was all, he was not that great.
However, no one expected that Xiao Yan, who had the potential to be a Dou Emperor, would speak at the advanced seventh level as soon as he opened his mouth.
You know, this old man has worked hard for most of his life, but he is only at the advanced seventh rank.
In the testing room, more than a dozen people from the Qiu family and the Cao family were stunned, with dull and stiff faces. They did not believe this sentence at all, but... this "Xiao Yan" was very famous, and the Cao family, which was at the peak of its power in the Dan Domain, did not take him seriously and would not allow them to question him.
Not far away, walking towards the Yellow Gate, Ye Xinlan, who was halfway there, also opened her mouth slightly. In Canaan College, although Senior Xiao Yan was also a fourth-grade alchemist and one of the founders of the Holy Gate.
But he was always surpassed by the sect leader Lü Yu, not only in alchemy skills, but also in reputation, cultivation, and strength. How come he jumped from the fourth rank to the advanced seventh rank in just a few years?
A seventh-grade alchemist is already qualified to be called an alchemy master, and how old is he?
"Hehe...Cao Dan, it seems like you can't do anything to him!" On the side, Qiu Fan from the Qiu family laughed, his face full of gloating:
"He looks about the same age as you and me, but to have achieved such success... I'm afraid only that witch in your family can compete with him."
Whether Xiao Yan is strong or not has nothing to do with him, but seeing the Cao family, whose nostrils are in the eye sockets and eyes are on the forehead, suffer a setback, is a good thing!
“Hmph!” Cao Dan snorted coldly, his face looking extremely ugly. He didn’t believe what “Xiao Yan” said at all, but... the other party could easily suppress him. His strength and reputation were so great that he could not doubt it.
“Xiao Yan, this is not a joke.” Deacon Han said seriously, “Besides, I can’t pass the seventh-grade advanced exam here. I’m just a seventh-grade low-level alchemist. I can only rely on the seventh-grade intermediate level.”
"Then let's take the seventh-grade intermediate test." Lu Yu smiled. To him, there was no essential difference between the seventh-grade intermediate and the seventh-grade advanced.
"Are you sure?" Deacon Han confirmed again, his tone serious and earnest: "Young man, you need to be calm and steady when practicing alchemy. You can't be impatient at all. Remember to be down-to-earth and don't aim too high..."
"I'm sure, Deacon Han." Lu Yu's smile remained unchanged.
Hearing this, Deacon Han's face became serious: "Okay, in that case, I'll help you with the assessment. Follow me!"
Having said that, he turned and walked towards the door with the word "天" written on it. Seeing this, Lu Yu followed him.
As the two left, the entire testing room fell silent again. Ye Zhong's eyes flickered. He had an idea about Xiao Yan when they first met. Otherwise, how could he casually help with such a thing?
But...how could he have imagined that the other party would be so powerful?
“I hope he’ll do it for Xin Lan’s sake…” Ye Zhong clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly. He suddenly regretted plotting against Xiao Yan. This man’s reputation was so great, he was definitely not just a name.
Why did I have the idea of testing him at that time?
Ye Chong's eyelids trembled slightly, and he felt like slapping himself.
"Brother Cao, do you think this boy is really a seventh-grade advanced or intermediate alchemist?" Qiu Fan came close to Cao Dan and spoke as if no one was around, but his voice was not small at all.
"...I don't know!" Cao Dan's chewing muscles bulged and his blue veins throbbed from time to time. Just like what Ye Xinlan said, he and Ye Xinlan were just two families that had reached an intention to get engaged, and it was still a long way from actually being implemented.
Logically speaking, it is not worth offending such a person, but... he was extremely unhappy!
"Okay..." Qiu Fan shrugged, somewhat disappointed. It seemed that the boy had sobered up a lot and would not attack in anger like he did just now.
It was disappointing not to see Cao Shan get beaten up.
……
More than ten minutes passed. In the testing room, more than ten people from the Cao family and the Qiu family had completed the assessment before Lu Yu and the other two arrived, but they did not leave.
They were all very curious as to whether Xiao Yan, who had the potential to become a Dou Emperor, was really capable or was simply trying to attract attention.
However, to their surprise, before Ye Xinlan of the Ye family, who had taken out the yellow-level room interest assessment on the far right, finished, the sky-level room on the far left suddenly "creaked" open.
Two figures slowly walked out. The younger one was playing with a dark golden badge between his fingers with a faint smile on his face. The older one was shocked and dazed.
"Intermediate seventh level... He really has this ability!" Cao Dan clenched his fists, feeling frightened but unwilling.
“Good fellow… It turns out that there is no false reputation!” Everyone in the Qiu family looked at each other intently, and immediately felt a little bit of contempt for Xiao Yan’s ability to become a Dou Emperor.
"Master Xiao Yan, you do have the ability to pass the seventh-grade advanced assessment. Please forgive me for my previous intrusion." Deacon Han said seriously.
"It's okay, this is your duty..." Lü Yu said with a smile: "What if I want to take the seventh-grade advanced test now?"
"I can help you contact the headquarters!" Deacon Han said immediately.
This is what I want... Lu Yu laughed and said, "Thank you very much, Deacon Han..."
Hearing this, Deacon Han was immediately overjoyed. Being able to identify such a seventh-grade high-level alchemist would increase his prestige in the tower and naturally bring him greater benefits.
"but……"
At this time, Lu Yu suddenly changed the subject.
"Please speak!" Deacon Han said respectfully. For him, a low-ranking seventh-rank official, being respectful to a high-ranking seventh-rank official was not something that was difficult to talk about.
“But forget about the advanced seventh grade, and go straight to the eighth grade.” Lu Yu said with a smile.
"You...what did you say?" Deacon Han's pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of shock appeared on his face. Eighth grade?
Hearing this, everyone present suddenly changed their expressions. Unlike before, they could still chat and laugh at the seventh rank. Even if they surpassed it now, they would be able to reach it in the future. However, the eighth rank...
How many people on the mainland are stuck at this step and cannot make any progress in their entire lives?
Just look at the Ye family's elder and you will know that it has probably been decades since Ye Chong reached the advanced seventh rank. However, the eighth rank... unless there is a great opportunity, it is impossible in this lifetime!
Lu Yu chuckled: "Deacon Han wants to persuade me to be down-to-earth again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure quietly spread in the testing room. Deacon Han suddenly felt his chest sink, as if a hundred-pound rock was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Suddenly he shrank down, his face was covered in sweat, and his breathing became extremely heavy.
More than a dozen people from the Qiu family and the Cao family were even worse off than him. Many of them sat on chairs, their faces flushed and their backs hunched, trying to relieve the invisible pressure.
In the entire testing room, only Ye Chong was in a slightly better condition. He was a seventh-rank senior alchemist, but even so, he still felt his legs were weak, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment.
"I...spoke without permission..." Deacon Han managed to utter a few words despite the pressure on his soul.
