Chapter 758: Chapter 384: Heavenly Pride on the Tai Yuan Heroes List_2
…
The Forbidden Tower’s square had become even more bustling, with nearly ten thousand people gathering there.
At the entrance, figure after figure entered and exited, with the orbs above them constantly emitting light.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
These disciples all entered the Forbidden Tower with majestic and heroic postures.
But when they were sent out of the tower, they all appeared listless and languished.
They had originally believed that their recent cultivation had achieved significant breakthroughs, and their strength should have progressed, but the results had not met their expectations.
The disciples of the Green Flame Palace were the gathering place for the endless geniuses from the one hundred and eight prefectures of the Green Flame Domain and its countless Small Worlds.
It was precisely because there were so many geniuses that they bore infinite pressure.
Of course, it was this immense pressure and ferocious competitiveness that allowed several Heavenly Prides to stand out among the rest.
A portion of the disciples, after walking out of the Forbidden Tower, appeared exhausted. However, after a brief recovery, their eyes shone brightly, exuding a radiant and rejuvenated demeanor.
Clearly, these people had achieved good results inside the Forbidden Tower. They were the ones who had distinguished themselves from the endless procession of geniuses and could truly be called Heavenly Prides.
Ten miles away from the Forbidden Square.
Two streaks of Rainbow Light rapidly approached and swiftly landed on the square.
One of them was a man dressed in a green robe, carrying an ancient zither on his back along with a green Long Sword—he had an elegant and refined air.
The other was a woman with a mature figure and a youthful face, wearing a light green dress that wrapped around her curvaceous body. The hem barely covered the roots of her thighs, leaving the rest bare, her pale and lustrous skin all too exposed.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the woman slightly raised her fair neck, her beautiful eyes faintly revealing a prideful and staunch temperament.
The man in the green robe had a calm expression and a faint smile on his face, nodding frequently to the enthusiastic disciples greeting him from both sides.
“It’s Senior Brother Song Zilin and Senior Sister Teng Wenwen.”
“Ah, it’s actually them! They are figures from the Tai Yuan Heroic List!”
“I heard that some Heavenly Prides from the Tai Yuan Heroic List were coming to challenge the Forbidden Tower, but I didn’t believe it. I never expected it to be true, and for two to come at once.”
“It is said they wish to break through to the Unity Realm and advance to Elite Disciples, specially attempting one final push by tackling the Forbidden Tower’s challenge.”
“Nobody has entered the sixteenth level of the Forbidden Tower for a long time. Even Senior Brothers Chu Jungui and Wu Yuanbai are halted at the fifteenth level, I wonder if these two have a chance to succeed.”
…
Many Official Disciples were discussing, with Ren Shu’an blending into the crowd, neither joyful nor sad, as serene as ice and snow. The diamond-shaped mark on his forehead emitted an eerie light.
Just then, he suddenly felt that several people in the distance were hurrying over.
“Is that him?”
Ren Shu’an’s brows furrowed slightly before he discreetly vanished into the midst of the crowd.
“Wow, it’s so lively here today.” Looking at the bustling crowd on the Forbidden Square, Yuan Feihu said in confusion, “Lu Yun, surely no one knew you were going to the Forbidden Tower today, did they?”
“Do you see Lu Yun as someone who shows off?” Li Zhichang retorted.
“You’re overthinking it. Even if some people knew I was going to challenge the Forbidden Tower, it wouldn’t draw this many people.”
Lu Yun’s own people knew their own affairs—always keeping a low profile, hiding his results with every challenge at the Forbidden Tower. Under such circumstances, it would hardly cause a sensation.
Moreover, he had never seen a scene as lively as today’s.
As Lu Yun and his three companions squeezed into the Forbidden Square amid the surging crowd, they heard cheers and revelry.
The Tai Yuan Pulse had numerous Official Disciples, yet less than ten geniuses who could make it onto the Tai Yuan Heroic List, which spoke volumes about the list’s influence.
“Song Zilin, Teng Wenwen?”
Upon learning that it was two Tai Yuan Heroes challenging the Forbidden Tower, Lu Yun’s interest was piqued.
“Up to now, I have only heard rumors about the Tai Yuan Heroes, never having seen them in person. Today, to encounter two at once, my luck isn’t bad.”
Lu Yun gathered his concentration, his gaze falling on the young man and woman who were the center of attention.
He first observed Song Zilin: dressed in a green robe with a zither and a green Long Sword, his demeanor was scholarly and refined. Additionally, the gentle smile that constantly played upon his handsome face made it difficult for anyone not to feel a sense of goodwill toward him.
As for Teng Wenwen, her revealing outfit slightly displeased Lu Yun.
Still, his gaze involuntarily swept over her pale, crystalline skin and then quickly moved past her robust mountains.
It was a man’s instinct that he couldn’t suppress even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, his willpower was far stronger than that of ordinary people, and he quickly overcame it, his mind returning to clarity.
Lu Yun’s gaze shifted, golden light flickering as he gently dispersed the thick fog enshrouding Song Zilin and Teng Wenwen, seeing their true essence.
“Sure enough, they are only at the eleventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm!”
With the Eyes of Aurora, one could penetrate falsehood, shatter the Void, and obliterate all.
The two were merely at the eleventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm, and their strength was not even comparable to Lu Yun’s. Even if they had cultivated Divine Abilities to conceal their realms, they could not prevent his scrutiny.
Neither Teng Wenwen nor Song Zilin showed any sign of noticing Lu Yun’s observation.
Because such scrutiny was too commonplace, most of it was stopped at the outset.
A small fraction of the probing, even though they were both Tai Yuan Heroes, was unstoppable.
After all, no matter how high their talent or how strong their capabilities, they were still only at the Heavenly Human Realm.
