The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

As that voice sounded off, the whole Outer League was in a state of shock, and every member looked on with envy in their eyes. This was the first old Outer League member who had been handpicked by an elder. Furthermore, she was only a member in the Energy Shaping First Realm.

Yan Shihan heard that and took a bow in Ye Mo’s direction before slowly walking towards Elder Qiu Shan. “Thank you for your guidance, Elder!” she said.

“Wait until the test is over. I will bring you to my training area!” The Elder smiled and nodded.

“Darn it!”

Luo Min saw what happened and angrily stomped her foot. She said, in a state of denial, “Impossible! How was Yan Shihan handpicked by Elder Qiu Shan?!”

“Min Min, don’t be angry. It is likely that Elder Qiu Shan was merely interested in Yan Shihan because of her veil. When the elders nurture league members, strength is still a factor. Wait until he sees her true self. He will certainly abandon her,” said Xu Fu. He raised out two fingers, generating an energy force. Above Yan Shihan’s face appeared an Emerald Water Needle, so small that it could not be seen by the naked eye.

Shoo!

The needle shot out directly, causing the green veil to drop instantly. As the veil dropped, Yan Shihan stood there, stunned.

“Yan Shihan, prepare to be humiliated by everyone!”

However, as the veil dropped, what was exposed was an elegant face of beauty. Her powdery face matched with a bit of blush was comparable to the many beauties of the generations before hers.

Xu Fu and Luo Min, who were smiling as they waited for disaster to strike, were both frozen, unable to react. Shock was written all over their faces.

“How is that possible? Is that Yan Shihan? How did she become so beautiful?”

“Didn’t she get disfigured by Xu Fu? How is it possible that she healed?”

Those who have tried to woo Yan Shihan had faces of disbelief as well. Yan Shihan’s looks were not supposed to heal after being disfigured, but now she looked prettier than ever.

“Elder Qiu Shan, you have a good eye for these things!”

A few elders beside him chuckled.

“I am never wrong when I choose my disciples. My disciples are to be superior to others in every aspect. However, someone just tried to attack my disciple. This, I will not stand.”

With a wave of his sleeve, Xu Fu, who was initially in a state of shock, suddenly felt an overwhelming force coming towards him. Following that, his whole body was sent flying in the air, causing him to land heavily in the center of the Square.

The Outer League members, witnessing this, did not know what just happened.

“What is your name? Why are you trying to sneak attack my disciple?” asked Elder Qiu Shan coldly.

The elders sitting on the platform were highly regarded people within the league. While they were not the highest in terms of training levels, their high statuses meant that they still commanded respect within the league, even from the League Chief.

Seeing Xu Fu fly out, Yan Shihan immediately kneeled on the ground, saying, “Master, please defend me.”

Hearing Yan Shihan’s words, Xu Fu’s face completely turned sour. Now that Yan Shihan had become Elder Qiu Shan’s disciple, her status shot up significantly.

“Disciple, speak your mind!” said Qiu Shan.

Seeing that there was some situation going on, the proctor for the Outer League examination had no choice but to pause the competition.

“Last year, I ventured towards the Spirit Valley along with some league members, only to be met with several highly powerful monsters. I was the only one who got out alive. One of those who passed was Xu Fu’s brother, and Xu Fu assumed that I was the one who had caused his brother’s death. He has since tried various methods to deal with me. He is an Inner League member, but I was merely a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm fighter, how was I supposed to win? Some time ago, I was disfigured by him when he used Fire Element Techniques against me. His action just now was meant to humiliate me in front of everyone in the Square.”

Yan Shihan finally got her opportunity. There was no way she was going to miss it. With Elder Qiu Shan’s backing, she was going to have her revenge.

“Hmph!”

Upon hearing her, Qiu Shan let out a cold grunt, its soundwave forming into a thunderous roll that directed towards Xu Fu. Xu Fu was sent flying backwards, his face pale white as he coughed out a few mouthfuls of fresh blood.

“I can’t believe that such members exist in the Qingyun League. Disfiguring someone in secrecy with no mercy! What else do you have to say for yourself?”

Qiu Shan’s beam of soundwave had already shattered his internal organs. Xu Fu, half-kneeling on the ground, said, “I was blinded by hatred and desire for revenge which led me to do those things to Yan Shihan. Elder Qiu Shan, I beg you for a second chance.”

“Scram. Your punishment is to face Indra for a month,” said Elder Qiu Shan coldly.

“Considering how much Xu Fu stifles us all the time, only a month facing Indra is a light punishment.”

“That’s right. It would only be right if his training was abolished.”

“Outer League members like us no longer have to be pressured by Xu Fu.”

Seeing Xu Fu dragging his injured body as he left, there were not many who showed sympathy, with most expressing relief instead.

“Thank you, Master!” Yan Shihan said, her hands held together.

“Disciple, I have some queries. Didn’t you say that you were disfigured by Xu Fu? You don’t look like you are disfigured now,” asked Elder Qiu Shan.

“Allow me to explain. I was lucky enough to receive a helping hand from a fellow league member who cultivated an Appearance Pill for me, allowing my looks to recover.”

The moment Yan Shihan finished her sentence, everyone present was in a state of shock. The Appearance Pill was an extremely rare pill, something that even the expert alchemists in the Qingyun League could not cultivate.

However, Yan Shihan being disfigured was the truth that could not have been made up. The Appearance Pill was the only item that could allow her to recover her looks.

“Who is the member who cultivated the Appearance Pill? Tell me quickly!” The Elder of the Winds, who was sat beside Elder Qiu Shan, asked anxiously as he stood up immediately.

Yan Shihan gave Ye Mo a glance, and seeing him briefly shake his head, she said, “Elder, this member reminded me countless number of times before saving my looks that I was not to reveal any details about him. Hence, I request your understanding.”

“Don’t worry about that. Tell me who he is, and I will explain to him personally,” said the Elder of the Winds.

Seeing Yan Shihan clearly stuck in a dilemma, Elder Qiu Shan waved his hand, saying, “Elder of the Wind, don’t force my disciple anymore. I too know about the importance of the Appearance Pill to you, but you cannot make my disciple into someone without honor.”

“Elder of the Wind, if you want to investigate who cultivated this Appearance Pill, you just need to check who recently acquired the ingredients needed to make the pill in the League Points Hall,” said Elder Qiu Shan, smiling.

“I shall quickly send my men to do so.”

The Elder of the Winds rose as he prepared to leave, completely losing any stature that an elder should have, but was immediately held by Qiu Shan.

“Let’s wait for the member examination to conclude first. There’s no need to be anxious!” Qiu Shan smiled.

All the Outer League members, including members from the three main sub-leagues, were all in discussion about who could have cultivated the Appearance Pill.

“Tsk tsk, can’t believe someone is actually able to cultivate the Appearance Pill. Look at Yan Shihan’s baby smooth skin. I’m jealous! If I could take an Appearance Pill for myself, I will definitely become prettier,” Ling Xue said with envy.

“Your looks are pretty good now!” Ye Mo smiled.

“Ye Mo, don’t tell me you are the one who cultivated the Appearance Pill?”
