Chapter 1044 1040: Rejecting Recruitment

"Ye Chen, you have cultivated five types of Celestial Level Upper Grade Martial Arts. You truly have broken the record; you may receive a reward of four million Human Race Contribution Points." Elder Luo quickly recovered from his shock, his expression incomparably delighted.

"Heavens! Ye Chen actually broke three records in a row. In our Human King Hall, this is simply unprecedented and will never be surpassed."

"I'm afraid even if the Core Disciples came, it would be hard for them to reach this step."

At this moment, the entire Dragon Transformation Peak was completely boiling.

Whether True Disciples or Inner Hall Elders, every one of them exclaimed in amazement, feeling as if they were in a dream.

They never imagined that Ye Chen, a youth only around twenty years old, would be able to break three records one after another.

This had to be called a miracle.

"Haha! Little friend Ye Chen has hidden himself really deep; even I was kept in the dark the whole time. But this is a great thing!"

"From today on, our Human King Hall has one more fine seedling who can contend with Outer Realm geniuses." Above the host's platform, Supreme Lord Bai Zhan's expression was extremely excited; the way he looked at Ye Chen was as if he were viewing a peerless piece of uncut jade.

He had originally thought that Ye Chen cultivating four types of Celestial Level Upper Grade Martial Arts was already the limit.

But he hadn't expected that Ye Chen had even cultivated a fifth type, successfully breaking the record of the True Disciple assessment.

This was simply too inconceivable.

However, the more heaven‑defying Ye Chen's performance was, the happier Supreme Lord Bai Zhan became.

After all, the goal of their Human King Hall had always been to nurture Human Race geniuses, so that they would possess the ability to protect the Yellow Cloud World.

If one day, they could cultivate someone invincible below the Divine Spirit Realm…

Then no race would dare to invade their Yellow Cloud World.

Unfortunately, this dream was destined to be extremely hard to realize.

Even though Ye Chen's potential was extremely heaven‑defying, to truly achieve invincibility in his Realm, he was still far from it.

Just facing Celestial God Descendants in the same Realm as him, he would find it difficult to defeat them.

"If only Ye Chen, like Bing'er, could awaken a type of powerful Special Physique, how wonderful that would be." Between his brows, Supreme Lord Bai Zhan was filled with deep emotion.

In truth, whether in Mana, Physical Power, or Martial Arts Realm, Ye Chen had already far surpassed Bai Bing at the age of twenty.

If he, like Bai Bing, possessed a powerful Upper Special Physique, it was unimaginable how terrifying his strength would become.

Regrettably, the Special Physique Ye Chen had awakened was merely a Middle Special Physique, which did not give too much help to his strength.

Swoosh!

Just then, Bai Bing up in the sky suddenly flew toward Ye Chen, the corners of her lips filled with a sweet smile, her beauty suffocating.

"Quick, look, Senior Sister Bai Bing is flying toward Ye Chen."

"Could it be she intends to recruit Ye Chen?" Everyone's bodies trembled violently, their eyes brimming with thick envy and jealousy.

One had to know, Bai Bing was a Core Disciple of the Human King Hall, with an incomparably noble status.

Coupled with her country‑toppling beauty, as if Fairy Guanghan had descended into the mortal world…

So countless True Disciples all regarded her as their goddess.

Yet now, she was taking the initiative to go meet Ye Chen.

How could everyone not envy this?

"Young Master Ye Chen, congratulations on successfully breaking three records." Bai Bing landed beside Ye Chen and gave him a charming smile.

"Such trifling results are not worth mentioning." Ye Chen waved his hand, looking utterly unconcerned, as if he had only done something trivial.

In fact, for him, breaking the records of the True Disciple assessment truly was no different from eating or drinking.

As long as he wished, he could even achieve results far better than these.

The reason he hadn't done so was simply that he did not wish to be too high‑profile.

"Ye Chen, I wonder if you have any interest in joining our Jia Family!" At this moment, another graceful figure descended in front of Ye Chen, smiling slightly at him.

This figure was precisely Jia Lu.

"It's Senior Sister Jia Lu; she's recruiting Ye Chen too."

"Looks like Ye Chen has become a hot piece of property."

"Isn't that obvious? If you broke three records, the Four Great Families would definitely try their best to rope you in." The True Disciples all began discussing animatedly.

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Ye Chen said calmly.

He certainly knew that the Jia Family was one of the Four Great Families of the Human King Hall, with extremely deep foundations.

If Ye Chen were willing to join them, he would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of Cultivation Resources.

However, there is no free lunch in this world.

Ye Chen's joining the Jia Family would mean having to do things for them, perhaps never being able to break free from the Jia Family for his entire life.

For someone like him, who had always loved freedom, this was completely unacceptable.

So, never mind the Jia Family— even if the Bai Family came to invite him, he would not join.

"Heh! Jia Lu, you actually still have the face to recruit Ye Chen. Weren't you looking down on him just now?" Nangong Hao at the side couldn't help but sneer, the corners of his lips filled with thick ridicule.

"Hmph! Nangong Hao, aren't you the same?" Jia Lu's face instantly frosted over.

She admitted that she had indeed underestimated Ye Chen just now.

But that really couldn't be blamed on her.

Who could have imagined that Ye Chen, this discarded son of the Ye Clan, would be able to break three records in a row?

Even Sima Tian, that prodigy who had awakened the Purple Sky Thunder Body, was a joke before him.

If she had known earlier that Ye Chen was so heaven‑defying, Jia Lu naturally would not have mocked him.

Unfortunately, it was already too late for her to regret it now.

"Ye Chen, our Nangong Family's Cultivation Resources lack for nothing. If you join us, we will definitely nurture you with all our strength. Won't you consider it?" Nangong Hao said.

"There's no need to consider. I don't intend to join any family." Ye Chen rejected directly without even thinking.

With his current situation, as long as he obtained enough Human Race Contribution Points, he could exchange for the Cultivation Resources he wanted within the Human King Hall.

So there was absolutely no need to join any family and be bound by them.

"Hmph! Ye Chen, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Do you really think that just because you have some Talent, you're so incredible? There are plenty of people in this world who surpass you." Nangong Hao said coldly.

Yes!

He admitted that Ye Chen did have some ability.

But the other party had merely awakened a Middle Special Physique; his future achievements definitely wouldn't be that high.

It was quite possible that even becoming a Divine Spirit Realm expert would be a problem.

Yet Ye Chen didn't even have this bit of self‑knowledge, actually looking down on joining their Four Great Families.

This was truly foolish.

Once Ye Chen left the Yellow Cloud World and entered an even vaster heaven and earth…

He would understand that his bit of ability was nothing at all!

Within the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there were countless people stronger than him.
