Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: Peerless Genius

Ji Cang cursed strongly in his heart, you are such a show-off.

To overwhelm everyone in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

But on the surface, he could only nod: "Got it, I’ll try my best."

The two of them engaged in idle chatter for a while.

After a while, when the time was about right, they finally returned to the front hall one after the other.

The examination in the front hall was nearing its end.

Indeed, only one in ten could be selected into King Jia’s Dojo.

Besides Xu Xinzhong before, everyone else was just from the Lower Court.

In contrast, Yu Xuan’s outstandingness became even more evident.

Not to mention other Immortals participating in the examination, even the Celestial Venerables responsible for the examination frequently glanced at her, hoping to find a chance to speak a few words with this future big shot.

But unfortunately, this woman’s mind was entirely focused on Jiang Cheng now.

Though, not with good intentions.

She was waiting for Jiang Cheng to slip up and then be severely punished by an enraged Great Chief.

At that moment, she would step in to ’intercede’, smoothly arranging him as her nearby servant, wouldn’t that be perfect?

Thinking of that scene, she could hardly wait.

Then, she saw the Great Chief rushing out hurriedly.

His expression seemed somewhat fierce, somewhat frenzied.

No doubt about it!

He must have been enraged after being tricked by Jiang Cheng.

She was gloating at this.

Next, she saw the Grand Chief Official Ji Cang raising his right arm high, looking as excited as if his wife had just given birth to ten children at once.

"Genius!"

"Peerless genius!"

"A genius that surpasses Qiu Yuxuan!"

Qiu Yuxuan, who had been used as a ’foil’, was dumbfounded.

Others were also stunned.

What peerless genius?

They didn’t quite understand.

Soon, they saw Jiang Cheng walking out casually, unscathed, with a slight smile on his face.

"Jiang Cheng!"

Ji Cang had thrown himself into the act to make it believable.

"Jiang Cheng’s talent actually far surpasses Qiu Yuxuan, it’s unbelievable!"

"I have never seen such a person in my life, it completely exceeds the limits of cognition, oh my!"

His face had turned red with ’excitement’, veins bulging.

Anyone would think he was severely agitated.

"How is there such a genius in the world? Could the Celestial Palace become stronger just because of him?"

"Unbelievable, it’s so unbelievable!"

Brother Cheng thought to himself, the dude might be overacting a bit.

Telling you to act, didn’t mean to have a fit.

However, the praise was still very comforting to him.

"Hahaha, keep it low-key, Great Chief, it’s okay if you know, no need to say it in public..."

Ji Cang almost wanted to give him a slap.

Darn it, weren’t you the one asking me to praise you directly?

Do you have any self-respect?

"No, no, I have to say it!"

"I finally understand why Qiu Yuxuan would willingly become your maid!"

"Facing someone as outstanding as you, it’s understandable that she bows down willingly..."

Qiu Yuxuan was somewhat questioning if she was hallucinating.

What, what?

Willingly became his maid?

What a joke!

What does he count for?

Others were astonished by the ’performance’ of these two.

Then, the hall was in an uproar.

"This person actually has higher talent than Qiu Yuxuan?"

"How is that possible?"

"It’s fake, Qiu Yuxuan must have already reached the extreme of cultivation talent!"

"No, this was personally detected by the Great Chief, it can’t be fake."

"Indeed, the Great Chief wouldn’t lie!"

"This bully... is actually a world-class genius?"

"Just with this second-generation dandy, just with this loafer?"

"Oh my, is there no justice anymore?"

Until now, they still regarded Brother Cheng as a ’bully’ oppressing innocent women, even going so far as to imagine him having the background of a wayward second-generation heir.

If Celestial Venerable Zhe Luo had been the one to detect, they would certainly see this as a dark operation behind the scenes.

But with Grand Chief Official Ji Cang, even if they didn’t want to admit it, they could only reluctantly acknowledge it.

After all, the Great Chief was definitely impartial and incorruptible!

Who could have thought, this guy could even ’buy off’ the chief of the Daoist Field?

Celestial Venerable Du Zhen, responsible for hosting the examination, was also left looking dazed.

"This... Great Chief, is this real?"

He felt this was all just too bizarre.

A peerless genius like Qiu Yuxuan, let alone King-level Dojo, even Emperor-level Dojo might not produce one.

Yet, two appeared in a single day?

And the latter was even better than the former?

This seemed ridiculous no matter how he thought about it.

Ji Cang’s face darkened: "What, are you questioning my detection ability? Or questioning my fairness?"

In front of Brother Cheng, he was scolded like a grandson.

In front of others, he was still the authoritative Great Chief.

Celestial Venerable Du Zhen quickly apologized: "I wouldn’t dare..."

Beside him, Celestial Venerable Zhe Luo was timely with his assistance.

"There can be no problem with the Great Chief’s detection!"

"I see Jiang Cheng’s talent as unparalleled, he is certainly qualified to enter the Upper Court!"

He did not know Jiang Sect Leader was acquainted with Grand Chief Official Ji Cang.

But Brother Cheng entering the Upper Court was something he was happy to see happen.

As he spoke, Ji Cang happily nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, Jiang Cheng is also qualified to enter the Upper Court!"

"I have decided that, as of today, Jiang Cheng is an Upper Court Immortal!"

Immortals from the Upper Court, which might not appear even once every tens of millions of years, suddenly gained another?

Celestial Venerable Du Zhen wanted to say isn’t this too hasty?

Moreover, none of us witnessed the detection process, we don’t even know what talents this person possesses.

But having just been scolded once by Grand Chief Official Ji Cang, where would he dare to question it now?

And other Celestial Venerables were already busy coming forward to offer congratulations and flatteries.

"Congratulations!"

"Is this Fellow Daoist Jiang? Congratulations on joining the Upper Court!"

"In the future, when Fellow Daoist Jiang becomes an Immortal Official, please don’t forget us!"

"Hahaha, all good..."

Brother Cheng smugly raised his eyebrows towards Qiu Yuxuan.

"Really sorry, I won again."

"Oh, someone’s entire future gains now need to be shared with me, it’s a generosity hard to refuse..."

Upon hearing his transmission, Qiu Yuxuan was so angry she nearly coughed up blood.

"This is impossible!"

"You simply can’t have the qualifications to enter the Upper Court."

Compared to other Immortals who were shocked and confused in the field, she knew part of Jiang Cheng’s background.

This guy doesn’t even have a Celestial Heart!

Such a person, meant to be trapped forever in the Abandoned Land, somehow entered the Upper Court of the King-level Dojo?

Honestly, what joke is this?

"There must be a conspiracy!"

"I know, you must have cheated!"

She glared fiercely at Sage Jiang, as if hoping he would become guilty and ashamed under her scrutinizing gaze, and voluntarily admit he had committed fraud.

Unfortunately, she underestimated Brother Cheng’s thick skin.

"You’re right, I did cheat, so what?"

This guy had no trace of guilt: "Besides, there was no prior specification on how to enter the Upper Court, you still lost."
