Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

As the disciples bellowed in cheering, Yuan Shuchun had a proud smile on her face.

She had received the reaction she was expecting. Now that everyone was still full of enthusiasm, she was going to strike while the iron was hot.

She took a few steps ahead and raised her hand, silencing the audience.

"We are cultivators. Challenges and obstacles are what helps us grow. At every turn in our lives, confronting the world is how we reach the peak. As cultivators, we're meant to go against the heavens."

After a few moments of silence, she announced, "And now that we have all of the top disciples of the Inner Court Entrance Hunt here, I propose a small exchange of moves."

"However, what's a competition with no prize?"

"Let me show you what you will receive if you were victorious tonight."

And then, she took out three small bottles from her spatial ring and showed them to the disciples with her hands raised, "These three bottles contain Seven Treasure Body Tempering Liquid."

Seeing no reaction from the disciples, she smiled and said something which shocked everyone in the hall, "This elixir is one thousand times more efficient than Low Tier Qi Strengthening Pills which you receive by the Sect."

"A single bottle can increase your cultivation to the next level. And for the Peak Qi Refining Cultivators, this is the chance to get to break through the Qi Condensation Realm in one night!"

It took a while for the disciples to digest what they had just heard. After a few moments of silence, the disciples once again clamoured in shock as they were seeing such elixir for the first time in their lives. From Xiao Ming to even the cold-looking Inner Court disciples, everyone was shocked.

"How is this even possible!? I have never heard of such a thing."

"Yeah, if such a thing existed, everyone would have known about it. And how could any elixir give such a great boost?"

"I don't know what it is, but I want it. I will reach Peak Qi Refining using this and if I get lucky, I may even just reach a few more stages and break through the Qi Condensation Realm."

"Dream on, you're the last person here who has any chance. And you are still at Seventh level of Qi Refining, to get to the Ninth level is just a pipe dream. There are many disciples who were ranked above us. There's even Qin Feng who defeated you yesterday. Do you really think you can get the elixir?"

"Well, there are three right? I hope they don't go to a single disciple."

As if Yuan Shuchun had heard his words, her voice rang through the hall once again, "These three bottles are yours to take. Three bottles. Three disciples."

The disciples now had their blood boiled in excitement. After all, who didn't wish to get a chance to increase their cultivation and catch up with their peers or increase the gap between them and their peers.

However, there was one exception.

Ye Tian Yun.

He didn't understand why these disciples were so excited about three mere bottles of Seven Treasure Body Tempering Liquid.

'This prince has played in so much elixir that it's enough to fill this hall.'

To him their excitement was ridiculous. However, upon thinking a bit, he found it natural too. Considering they had never even heard of such elixir, he couldn't blame them for their excitement. While it wasn't a big deal for him because even before coming to the Lower Heavens, he bathed in this elixir for a month after he woke up from his rebirth.

And considering that the disciples were in the lowest cultivation realm, the Qi Refining Realm, he also agreed with the fact that one bottle of Seven Treasure Body Tempering Liquid was enough for them to break through to the next level.

However, suddenly few questions flashed in his mind.

'How did Yuan Shuchun get her hands on this? Did she encounter a cave of treasures? But why is giving them away as if nothing? Looking at the expression on the old Inner Court disciples, clearly they don't know about such a thing and she never shared this with them.'

'Since no one here knows what this elixir is, I don't think Yuan Shuchun would have known it's name if she found the elixir somewhere. Unless… she from the Middle Heavens!?"

Ye Tian Yun was shocked by his own conclusion. 'Impossible. If she were from the Middle Heavens, I would have known her. Her talent puts her in one of the best among her peers even in the middle Heavens. And What is she doing here? This doesn't make sense.'

'But the fact that her background is quite big is now confirmed. I wish I knew what her true origins were.'

Meanwhile, Yuan Shuchun, who was now satisfied with everyone's expression, paused for a minute to let the disciples digest the news and then continued with her announcement, "Let me remind you that even a single bottle from these three can give you more benefits than the rewards of the Inner Court Entrance Hunt."

One again, the anticipation in the disciple's eyes rose a few notches. Even Zheng Xiang had an expression of excitement written all over his face.

And finally, Yuan Shuchun finished her announcement with another bombshell.

"These three bottles are not the only things at stake. There's one more thing, a unique unranked cultivation manual."

And as she finished, she put the bottles in the spatial ring and took out a black book and said, "This book may be hard to comprehend, however, it is said that the one who cultivates this Arcane Path cultivation manual, will have his cultivation speed at least doubled."

This time the disciples were blown away!

And Ye Tian Yun stood there in shock when he heard her words.

'Isn't this the manual that I have been looking for the whole day in the Martial Book Pavilion? The manual which is supposed to go to Xiao Ming? Why is it in her hands? And the most important question, why is she giving it away?'
