Chapter 42 - 40 Yang Family
The next morning, news spread quietly yet astonishingly fast throughout Luofeng City.
Ye Chen, once a peerless genius known across Xiafeng Country, now a talentless person, was actually the disciple of a mysterious Second Star Alchemist.
After this news broke, it left the entire city stunned, their faces filled with shock.
Initially, most people did not believe this shocking news.
A Second Star Alchemist was a highly revered figure throughout Xiafeng Country, supremely proud, and would not even consider a conspicuous Innate Expert like Ye Ao worthy of their attention.
Even when facing the legendary warriors of the Martial God Realm, they were absolutely qualified to discuss matters on equal terms, so why would they take interest in Ye Chen, who had become useless?
However, the source was very reliable—it was based on an insider from the Ye Family who had witnessed Master Li Yun personally confirming it by swearing a cruel oath that would sever his lineage, ensuring no falsehood.
Subsequently, various people thought to verify at Ye Residence and at the residence of Master Li Yun, and indeed it was true, which set off a massive upheaval in Luofeng City.
The disciple of a Second Star Alchemist—what a prestigious identity! Even if Ye Chen was still unable to cultivate and was considered useless, with this status alone, not even the Clan Leaders of the three major families in Luofeng City would dare to offend him.
Moreover, rumors circulated that Ye Chen had already regained his horrifying cultivation talent from the past, and he had even defeated Ye Zhengyang, the top youth of his generation, in the Ye Family hall.
In a short time, various rumors about Ye Chen spread throughout the entire city; the once silent genius of two years, yet again became the focal point of public attention.
