Chapter 1175 - Danger
Liu Wuxie sent a Transcendent Realm cultivator flying, instantly drawing attention. Dozens of onlookers rushed over in the blink of an eye, eager to watch with amusement. Everyone had come from different corners of the Astral Domain, and as strangers, they refused to intervene.
"Brat, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you kneel and kowtow, I might consider sparing your life," Ai Shan sneered. He didn't strike immediately, but let his murderous intent pour forth, pressing heavily against Liu Wuxie.
People pointed fingers and fixed their gazes on Liu Wuxie. The disparity in cultivation sharpened their senses. A seventh-level Heaven Profound Realm expert reigned invincible on the True Martial Continent, but in the Astral Domain, such strength barely touched the bottom.
Even slaves surpassed his cultivation. Without a clan or powerful backer, one could be captured and sold at the slave market with ease.
"He's only at the Heaven Profound Realm, and he dares to take the assessment? Does he think the Heavenly Dragon Sect is a joke?" someone scoffed. Even the weakest among the hopefuls had reached the Transcendent Realm, making Liu Wuxie's presence appear absurd.
"It's pointless for him to try. The minimum requirement is the Transcendent Realm. He'll be swept out as soon as the assessment begins," another added, provoking snickers. No Heaven Profound Realm cultivator had ever attempted the assessment in the past.
Another voice cut in. "Didn't you see how he kicked two Transcendent Realm cultivators flying? His combat strength isn't simple."
"So what? Rules are rules. No matter how strong he is, if he's not at the Transcendent Realm, he'll still be thrown out," someone replied with disdain.
The chatter fueled Ai Shan's arrogance. He smirked smugly. He was at the Transcendent Realm himself, barely above the line but still among the eligible.
Liu Wuxie and He Yingwu heard the murmurs as well. They had long known the Heavenly Dragon Sect's requirement. This was why He Yingwu had voiced his worries the night before.
However, Liu Wuxie had already decided—no matter the difficulty, he would find a way to enter.
"Kid, you hear that? Kneel and kowtow!" Ai Shan pressed again, his mocking tone sharper than before.
