Ye Mo and Yan Chidao glanced around, immediately taking a sharp breath. Looking around, there were at least dozens of people in the hall, each person's aura was extremely terrifying, and all were younger than them. The two searched, but they couldn't find a single genius whose aura was weaker than theirs.
Is this the genius of the Martial Domain? It's too terrifying!
In their respective Dongzhou Domain and Nanhua Domain, they were both incredibly dazzling, standing out like a crane among chickens, but here, they felt like sheep entering a herd, instantly becoming very ordinary.
Especially in the hall, where groups of three or four formed, each team had a person surrounded by others, radiating brilliance that gave them a strong sense of oppression and frustration.
Here, those people were the center of attention, while they were merely ordinary spectators.
“Eh, who did Gu Lao bring?”
“Are these three guys also geniuses trying to enter the Ancient Yu Realm?”
“Didn't I hear that the geniuses from various branches of the Alchemy Pavilion all gathered? Where did these three come from?”
“I think I heard that this time, the quota for the Ancient Yu Realm was divided into three for the lower four domains by the main branch of the Alchemy Pavilion. These three should be the winners of the lower four domains' Alchemy Competition!”
So they are from the lower four domains. No wonder they look so rustic. Hmph, the headquarters doesn’t know what they’re thinking, actually giving slots to people from the lower four domains. If it weren't for these three slots, my second brother might have had a chance to enter the Ancient Yu Realm.
“I don’t know what the headquarters is considering. Do the commoners from the lower four domains really need to enter the Ancient Yu Realm? It’s simply wasting slots.”
Whispers spread through the crowd, and after figuring out the identities of Qin Chen and his companions, many people's expressions turned unpleasant, their lips curling in disdain and sneers, mocking them.
In the eyes of the geniuses from the Martial Domain, the lower four domains were like slums; people coming from there could only be considered commoners.
“Don’t pay too much attention to their opinions. Remember, in the Martial Domain, only strength earns respect,” Gu Lao advised, worried that Qin Chen and the others might take it to heart.
“Yes!” Ye Mo and Yan Chidao clenched their fists, taking a deep breath, their ugly expressions slightly improving, while Qin Chen remained silent.
Could it be that Qin Chen couldn’t accept it?
Gu Lao felt a bit concerned, glancing at Qin Chen, and was immediately speechless. He saw that Qin Chen wasn't angry at all; not only was his expression calm, but he even seemed leisurely as he observed his surroundings.
Qin Chen truly was a peculiar one, not at all resembling someone from the lower four domains.
“Please follow me,” Gu Lao said as he walked to the center of the crowd, coming to a stop in front of a group of geniuses.
The geniuses all turned to look, each one with an extremely arrogant expression, like kings, wondering why Gu Lao would bring Qin Chen and his companions here.
“Is Saintess Ouyang here?” Gu Lao asked.
“You're looking for me?”
With a flash of red, a woman jumped out, wearing a bright red alchemist robe that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her beauty was astonishing, rivaling Zhao Lingshan and the others, and she exuded a natural aura of superiority, like an empress commanding everything.
She was a thorny rose, fiery, fierce, and proud.
This was the Ouyang Saintess of the Alchemy Pavilion, named Ouyang Nana, and she was the niece of Ouyang Zhengqi.
The Ouyang family was an extremely large alchemical family in the Martial Domain, with significant influence within the Alchemy Pavilion. A supreme elder of the Ouyang family was currently an elder at the headquarters of the Alchemy Pavilion, and Ouyang Nana was the most outstanding genius of the Ouyang family in a thousand years, one of the saintesses at the headquarters.
