Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

"Even I, the master of myself, have misjudged, failing to see that Xiao Ye has actually brought his King Body to the realm of Great Success," the Holy Palace Master became increasingly satisfied with Xiao Ye's performance.

This is absolutely a gem of rare quality; if well sculpted, it could certainly bear the weight of the entire Holy Palace. It is inevitable that he will become a Titled Emperor Martial in the future.

It appears that my high regard for Xiao Ye was indeed not misplaced.

Xiao Ye's actions brought a significant surprise to the Holy Palace Master.

"To be able to raise his cultivation to the late stage of King Martial Level 4 in just over a year, and also bring his King Body to the realm of Great Success, is simply against the natural order!"

At this time, all ten Law Enforcement Elders of the Main Hall were unanimously praising, extremely satisfied with Xiao Ye's performance.

"But now, only Xiao Ye remains in the Dragon-locking Formation; we have two spots for the Main Hall this time. What should we do about the remaining one?" asked a Law Enforcement Elder at that moment.

Upon hearing this, all the Law Enforcement Elders were stunned.

Indeed, with two spots in total, and now all the other disciples have been blasted away and eliminated by Xiao Ye, what should be done about the last spot?

The Law Enforcement Elders of the Main Hall looked at each other in dismay, then began to wryly smile.

While Xiao Ye brought them shock, he also presented them with a difficult problem.

"Hmph, these disciples have crooked intentions. They did not enter our Main Hall with upright strength but instead conspired to defeat Xiao Ye with unfair competition."

"For such disciples, our Main Hall does not welcome them; eliminate them directly. This time, we only have one spot, and that is Xiao Ye!" At this point, Wu Wang, the most hot-tempered among the Ten Law Enforcement Elders, spoke coldly.

When these words came out, the other elders were silent for a moment, then followed by nodding their heads.

"Indeed, such disciples are not needed by our Main Hall; just eliminate them."

"I also agree with Junior Brother Wu's suggestion; let's do it this way."

"What do you think, Elder Brother?"

The nine Law Enforcement Elders all spoke up, then turned their questioning gazes toward the Grand Elder of the Main Hall.

"Since you all have decided, then I will listen to you," said the Law Enforcement Great Elder of the Main Hall after a moment of silence, nodding his head slowly.

Although the Holy Palace Master was present this time, all the affairs of the Main Hall are decided by these Law Enforcement Elders. The Holy Palace Master has no right to interfere.

The decision had been made, and it was up to the Grand Elder of the Main Hall to announce the outcome.

He saw his aged body flying into the sky, with a wave of his hand, the Dragon-locking Formation was forcibly terminated.

Deep in his profound eyes shone a spark of brilliance, then he stated with authority, "According to the discussion and deliberation of the Ten Law Enforcement Elders of the Main Hall, we have decided that, for this Main Hall's assessment, only Xiao Ye has qualified."

"All other disciples are eliminated!"

As soon as these words came out, it was as if ten thousand thunders resonated in the arena, all the disciples were stunned.

They had just been discussing how Xiao Ye had blasted all the disciples of the Heavenly Hall away in the assessment, which by logic should mean direct elimination. So how was this assessment to be considered?

They did not expect the Law Enforcement Elders of the Main Hall to come up with such a result in the end.

Out of thirty-five thousand disciples participating in the assessment, only Xiao Ye passed in the end?

This is simply too much of a trap!

But on second thought, according to the rules, it was indeed so; those disciples were blasted out of the Dragon-locking Formation by Xiao Ye, and according to the rules, they should indeed be eliminated.

One cannot blame these disciples for bad luck, but only Xiao Ye is monstrously strong, otherwise, if it had been other disciples, even the devilish disciples of the Main Hall would have been suppressed in their cultivation when they entered the Dragon-locking Formation and fought on the same realm level.

Having been attacked jointly by so many disciples, they would probably also have not escaped a defeated fate.

The more than ninety disciples blasted by Xiao Ye were actually not seriously injured and had stabilized their physical injuries after taking Elixirs.

At this moment, when they heard the announcement of the Law Enforcement Great Elder of the Main Hall, each of them turned pale, their faces filled with despair.

This news was as if they had been thrown into the Eighteen Layers of Hell, their years of effort all gone to waste.

In the end, their glares turned viciously toward Fang Jie, who had suffered severe damage and had fainted.

If it weren't for Fang Jie instigating them, and if they had fought the last round following the rules, engaging in a normal collision of strength, they would not have lost so miserably, and at least one among them could have secured a spot.

Maybe that spot would have been theirs.

But because of Fang Jie, they lost even the chance to get that last spot.

At this moment, these more than ninety disciples hated Fang Jie to the extreme, regretting profusely.

Unfortunately, the fact was the fact; they had no way to refuse to accept it, as the Grand Elder of the Main Hall had made it very clear.

One by one, the disciples of the Heavenly Hall rose from the ground, their figures desolately walking towards the edge of the square, leaving the place.

Today's failure was a tremendous blow to them, and many disciples were thinking of immediately going into seclusion for cultivation after returning, striving to improve their cultivation, waiting for the next assessment of the Main Hall.

"Only let me pass the assessment?" Xiao Ye walked out from the area covered by the Dragon-locking Formation, also with a speechless face.

In this way, he inadvertently shattered the hopes of many Heavenly Hall disciples.

But this was their own doing; if they had not heeded Fang Jie's words and struck against him, how could they have ended up in such a dire situation?

Therefore, Xiao Ye also accepted the outcome with a clear conscience.

As the assessment of the Main Hall drew to a close, the disciples who came to watch the battle also excitedly discussed and then gradually left the square.

"Xiao Ye!" Just at that moment, a majestic voice sounded.

Xiao Ye turned his head to look, only to see the Holy Palace Master flying over to him, his face filled with smiles, treating him very kindly without any airs of the Holy Palace Master.

"Greetings, Palace Master!" Xiao Ye bowed and saluted.

He was indeed grateful and respectful toward the Palace Master.

"Xiao Ye, you truly surprised me. Was your King Body made complete because you consumed the Heavenly Sacred Water?" asked the Holy Palace Master.

"Indeed!"

Xiao Ye had nothing to hide about this.

"I consumed the Heavenly Sacred Water, then went to the Barbarian Valley City within the Bitter Cold Domain, found a secret technique to temper my physical body, and managed to break through in one fell swoop to reach the King Body Completion," Xiao Ye stated in a neither servile nor overbearing tone.
