“Against me!”
Jiang Yun’s heart instantly became clear. Not only had he ruined that Senior Sister’s plan, but he had also injured Xu Chengshan’s pet beast. Now that they had successfully lured Lu Xiaoyu out of the Sect, the two of them would naturally deal with him next.
The corner of Jiang Yun’s mouth slowly curled into a cold smile, but he immediately reined it in, staring at the short, stout man and saying, “If I find out you’ve lied even once, next time, I’ll still cripple you!”
After throwing down these words, Jiang Yun leaped and rushed towards the square. Only after Jiang Yun’s back disappeared did the short, stout man let out a long breath and say resentfully, “Don’t think I don’t know who you are, Jiang Yun. Six months ago, you were a Mortal savage. Although you’re a bit strong, you’re still too green to fight me, Bao Yuanqiang!”
As he spoke, Bao Yuanqiang stood up from the ground, rubbing his neck, a sinister smile slowly appearing on his chubby face as he said, “Hehe, judging by your look, you’re definitely going to cause trouble for Senior Sister Fang. In this Wen Dao Sect, who doesn’t know that Senior Sister Fang Ruolin is Fang Yuxuan’s biological sister? I’d like to see how you’re going to die this time!”
If Jiang Yun could have heard these words, then the little doubt in his heart earlier would have a reasonable answer.
Within this Wen Dao Sect, many people might not have heard of the names of the Five Peaks Peak Masters, or the name of the Sect Master, but absolutely no one didn’t know Fang Yuxuan’s name.
This number one Inner Sect Disciple had long been regarded as a goal and role model by almost all Wen Dao Sect Disciples. His astonishing feat during his re-evaluation was even considered a legend.
The person who wanted to frame Lu Xiaoyu was Fang Yuxuan’s biological sister, Fang Ruolin. She had also issued the mission and its rewards to Lu Xiaoyu in Fang Yuxuan’s name, so Lu Xiaoyu naturally wouldn’t, and didn’t dare to, have the slightest suspicion.
Bao Yuanqiang glanced around, tidied his clothes, and then walked towards the square, swaying his head.
The small interlude between Jiang Yun and the short, stout man did not attract anyone’s attention, because at this moment, above the square, a person was already standing in mid-air, it was Xiao Yishu, the Inner Sect Disciple from the main peak who was responsible for arranging the trials during the initial entry.
Although he was alone, his Blessed Land Realm cultivation was more than enough to preside over this re-evaluation. His appearance also meant that the re-evaluation was about to begin.
Jiang Yun also quietly returned to the square, silently standing at the very back of the crowd, watching Xiao Yishu in the air like everyone else, his thoughts rapidly turning.
Although he was anxious now, he also knew that to find out Lu Xiaoyu’s whereabouts, he had to first pass the re-evaluation, and then, during the small competition, face that Senior Sister or Xu Chengshan.
However, not every newly entered Disciple could participate in the small competition. After all, the difficulty of the re-evaluation was not great, and in previous years, about half of the Disciples passed.
There were over four hundred newly entered Disciples, so half would be two hundred. If all two hundred participated in the small competition, it would take at least several days. Therefore, to save time, only Disciples who performed outstandingly in the re-evaluation were eligible to participate in the small competition.
In short, to qualify for the small competition, one’s re-evaluation score had to show at least a two-fold increase in their original Realm!
According to Jiang Yun’s original plan, merely showing a Tongmai Realm first-level Realm would be enough to pass the re-evaluation, but now Lu Xiaoyu’s disappearance forced him to slightly change his plan.
“Once I qualify for the small competition, Xu Chengshan and the other two will definitely attack me. I’ll defeat them and make them tell me Xiaoyu’s whereabouts!”
“Although Xiaoyu left this morning, her speed must not be fast. With my speed, I should be able to catch up to her! As long as I catch up to her today and bring her back to the Sect, it might not count as missing the re-evaluation. After all, that Elder from Hundred Beast Peak also thinks highly of her, so a little late shouldn’t be a big problem!”
“Once Xiaoyu truly becomes an Inner Sect Disciple, then even if that Outer Sect Senior Sister has any more dissatisfaction, under the Sect rules, she probably wouldn’t dare to act recklessly!”
“As long as Xiaoyu is fine, then during the competition later, I’ll just teach the two of them a slight lesson to vent Xiaoyu’s anger, and this matter will naturally be over!”
As these thoughts emerged one by one in his mind, Jiang Yun’s heart finally settled down a bit, and at this moment, Xiao Yishu’s indifferent voice also happened to sound!
“Quiet!”
As Xiao Yishu’s words fell, he waved his large sleeve, and five streaks of white light shot out from his sleeve, landing on the square below.
Five fist-sized white orbs floated quietly at a height of about one person, with light flowing on them.
“Spirit Measuring Orb!”
Seeing these orbs, someone in the crowd immediately shouted out their name.
Jiang Yun also recognized these five orbs and quietly exhaled, saying in a voice only he could hear, “How lucky, it’s actually using Spirit Measuring Orbs for the test. This way, I don’t even need to hide my cultivation!”
Jiang Yun had naturally inquired about the re-evaluation beforehand and knew that the Wen Dao Sect historically used three methods for re-evaluation.
The first method was manual testing, where Inner Sect Disciples of the Blessed Land Realm would scan the bodies of the participating Disciples with their Divine Sense, judging their cultivation Realm based on the strength of the Qi emanating from their bodies; the second method used a mirror similar to the Wen Dao Mirror, where standing in front of the mirror would automatically reflect one’s cultivation Realm; the third method was these Spirit Measuring Orbs. As long as one held it and continuously poured Spiritual Qi into it, the orb would emit light. Tongmai Realm first-level would emit one ray of light, second-level two rays of light, with a maximum of nine rays of light.

Originally, Jiang Yun was a bit worried about the second re-evaluation method, which was why he had asked Second Senior Sister for a method to hide his cultivation, but now it was naturally no longer needed.
The amount of Spiritual Qi poured into the Spirit Measuring Orb was entirely under his own control!
If anyone could know Jiang Yun’s thoughts, they would definitely regard him as a freak.
For the re-evaluation, everyone wished they could squeeze out every bit of their potential, so who would intentionally hide their strength?
“Alright, everyone, in the order of Inner and Outer Sect and Utility Disciples…” Xiao Yishu’s concise voice sounded again, but he suddenly stopped halfway, two sharp gazes sweeping across the crowd in the square.
Seeing Xiao Yishu’s gaze, Jiang Yun’s heart stirred, and a bitter smile flashed across his face.
Sure enough, when Xiao Yishu saw Jiang Yun at the very back of the crowd, his brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly, and he pointed at Jiang Yun, saying, “You, last one!”
Everyone else’s gazes naturally followed Xiao Yishu’s pointing direction.
Upon seeing him, most people immediately understood, and even those who didn’t understand remembered after a deliberately sarcastic voice spoke up.
“Oh, isn’t that the savage who got lucky back then! Haha, looking at you with no Qi all over, you must still be a savage, right! I wonder if anyone will take you as a Disciple again this time!”
Six months ago, during the three entry trials, Jiang Yun’s performance was too eye-catching, and coupled with his luck of being accepted as a Utility Disciple despite not passing a single trial, many people had already remembered him.
The one who spoke earlier was Huo Yuan, and although his face was full of mockery, if one looked closely, they would find a hint of killing intent hidden deep in his eyes.
Even today, Huo Yuan still couldn’t forget the two gazes Jiang Yun had directed at him that day, sometimes even waking up suddenly during meditation, feeling as if he had a thorn in his back.
To be honest, he had no idea why a Mortal’s gaze would make him so afraid, but he knew that Jiang Yun had to die.
Because Jiang Yun’s gaze had become a thorn in his heart.
If Jiang Yun didn’t die, then his state of mind, and even his future Dao of cultivation, would be greatly affected.
Although he had wanted to kill Jiang Yun every moment for the past six months, when he joined the Wen Dao Sect, he was already at the Tongmai Realm third-level. For him, raising his Realm by another level within half a year was even more difficult, so he simply didn’t have the extra time or opportunity to deal with Jiang Yun.
Now, seeing Jiang Yun again, the killing intent in Huo Yuan’s heart was naturally stirred up, especially when he discovered that Jiang Yun seemed to still be a Mortal. He immediately realized that this thorn in his heart should finally be able to be pulled out today!
