Qin Wushang: It's Jean?!

Then he saw Cang Yue sprinting towards the entrance, followed by Qin Wushang. The other 2 Inner Disciples that were with them shrugged and followed them.

When they reached the entrance of the Blue Wind Profound Palace, the first thing they saw was a figure wearing a white militar outfit and a strangely-shaped black helmet with a visor, the second thing they saw was….

?: LET ME GO!!

Jean: F.u.c.k no, besides, did you really think you would be cooler if you came here late? There is time because it needs to be followed, not because you need to ruin everyone's hope with your late appearance.

And it was your fault for not moving from the road, you little dipshit, you could have died if you collided with my motorcycle.

?: What in the living f.u.c.k is a motorcycle?!

Jean: No one will ever answer you. C'mon, we almost arrived.

?: You….! I will kill you once you let me go! Remember this!

Jean: Pfft, I could beat your entire clan if I wished so. Christ, this helmet is annoying now…

After he said that, he put back the helmet in the Sky Poison Pearl, revealing his face.

Cang Yue: JEAN!!

Qin Wushang: I-Is that… Fen Juechen?

Cang Yue rushed towards Jean in tears and hugged him, Jean was a bit surprised from this before he smiled and c.a.r.e.s.sed her head.

Jean: Shhhh, now I am here.

Fen Juechen: Can you just let me go?! I promise I won't do anything weird for now!

Jean: Well, I guess this is the biggest thing I can currently get from you…

Then Jean released Fen Juechen's collar, he stood up and dusted his clothes before he glared at Jean and walked towards the Blue Wind Profound Palace, meanwhile, Jean was busy with comforting Cang Yue.

Cang Yue: I… I had thought… had thought… never again… never again….

Jean: You little ball of joy, I already told you that I would return in 7 months, and guess what? I turned back in 7 months. Not even the Wasteland of Death is enough to stop me.

Qin Wushang: *Cough* *Cough*

Qin Wushang suddenly started to choke on saliva, attracting everyone's attention, Fen Juechen's too, towards him.

Jean: What happened, Palace Master Qin, are you okay?

Qin Wushang: Y-You… 1st... Sky… Profound Realm…

Those words froze everyone in their spot… What did he say? 1st Sky Profound Realm?! Nonono, we must have heard bad.

Cang Yue: P-Palace Chief Qin… I think I didn't hear… How strong is Junior Brother Jean?

Qin Wushang: He… He reached the 1st Sky Profound Realm…. And his profound strength is fully stabilized…

Everyone looked at Jean in shock, while he just c.a.r.e.s.sed his own head in embarrassment as he started to fly some centimeters away from the ground, confirming their thoughts.

Qin Wushang: A-Are you sure you are Jean?

Jean just took out his Overlord's Colossal Sword, removing any doubt.

Jean: I know, it's pretty strange, but I am at the Sky Profound Realm, not only that, my combat prowess greatly exceeds that level. I hope to be in time to join the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.

Qin Wushang: This… Every single force that attends the Ranking Tournament, can only bring three participant disciples at most. The three people that represents the Imperial Family to participate has already been chosen by matches within the Inner Palace. These two senior brot-

Feng Bufan: Who's going to participate? Me? Nonono, Junior Brother Jean can take my place.

Fang Feilong: I should let younger people take experience from the tournament, I can't be greedy and take their future away just for a bit of fame, Junior Brother Jean can take my place if he wishes so.

Both of them looked at each other and nodded.

Feng Bufan/Fang Feilong: We will let Jean take our place!

Then they rushed back to the Inner Palace and closed themselves in their courtyard, leaving Qin Wushang, Cang Yue, Jean, and Fen Juechen alone.

Qin Wushang: Well… There is a place for you now…

Jean: Neat. So… Will we go now?

Qin Wushang: No, there is still a missi-

Qin Wuhou: Jean?!

Qin Wushang: Aaaand here he is.

Jean turned around and saw a shocked Qin Wuhou.

Jean: Yep, it's me, are you ok?

Qin Wuhou: I thought you died!

Jean: Hahaha, I never die, even if you see me with a sword impaled in my head, I will still be alive, it's just that you all don't believe me.

When you will know me better, you will realize that it's much easier burning oneself's profound veins than killing me.

Qin Wuhou: *Sigh* At this point I really believe that…

Jean: So we can go now?

Qin Wushang: Yes, we are all here, except for the 3rd disciple that should participate, but I believe that even with you alone, we can achieve the 1st place!

Jean: Alright, come here boy, let's go!

Fen Juechen: DON'T YOU DARE TO DRAG ME AGAIN! I WILL GO TO THE PROFOUND BEAST MYSELF!!

He seemed pretty frightened when he saw Jean coming towards him, well, if you had thoughts about killing a person and then it's revealed that he is almost 3 great realms higher than you, there would be some changes within one's mind.

Jean laughed and said.

Jean: Alright, I'm Dennell Jean, the 73th Inner Disciple.

He extended an arm towards Fen Juechen, who looked at it with caution, after some hesitation, he extended his own arm towards Jean.

Fen Juechen: I-I'm Fen Juechen, the 1st Inner Disciple and youngest son of the Burn-

Jean: Ok.

Jean didn't let him finish when he dragged him to the beast.

Fen Juechen: STOP! I SAID STOP!!

Jean looked at his watch as he dragged Fen Juechen to the Profound Beasts.

[Q: "Question"]

Jean: Finally we are here…

The Heavenly Sword Mountain Range spanned a distance of four hundred kilometers from north to south, and four hundred fifty kilometers from east to west. Its main peak reached a several thousands of meters tall, and was named the "Summit of Cloud Piercing Sword."

Disregarding all those short mountains, there were still six subsequent summits that were over three thousand meters tall.

Looking over from afar, a terrifying aura seemed to come over, assaulting the senses, it was as if the entire mountain range was surrounded by waves of icy, sharp sword energy that people could only look from afar but not dare to approach.

They reached the main mountain gate of the sect, guarded from a single disciple.

Disciple: Guests, please halt. Our Villa is preparing for the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament these few days, and we're not accepting guests. Please leave.

Qin Wushang stepped forth and said.

Qin Wushang: This little brother, I am Qin Wushang and I have come this time to attend the ranking tournament.

It was obvious that the disciple would misimpret their visit here for being guests, Cang Yue was at the True Profound Realm, Feng Juechen was at the Spirit Profound Realm, Qin Wuhou was at the Earth Profound Realm, and Qin Wushang and Jean were unidentifiable due to their high profound strength.

Disciple: You five… are here to attend the ranking tournament? And this, is Blue Wind Imperial Family's Blue Moon Princess?

Cang Yue nodded and gave him the invite.

Cang Yue: Yes. We five came here to represent the Imperial Family and participate in this time's ranking tournament. This is our invitation letter and list of names.

Naturally, the namelist only had five names: Qin Wushang, Cang Yue, Qin Wuhou, Fen Juechen, and Dennell Jean.

And in the participating disciple section, there were only the names "Dennell Jean" and "Fen Juechen".

Disciple: So it's actually the Imperial Family's esteemed guests that are here. I ask that you'll forgive me for my rudeness earlier. Four esteemed guests, please come in.

Five kilometers ahead, is where the Villa is located, where Villa Master and Villa Mistress are already personally awaiting for you. Please.

After the five passed through the mountain gate, the few gatekeeping disciples all looked at each other in dismay.

Disciple 2: Only brought along two participating disciple, and one of them is at the Spirit Profound Realm whole the other couldn't be felt, do you think he is a cripple?

Disciple 3: We will see it when the tournament starts…

Inside, the five of them were walking to the place the disciple indicated them to, following a female disciple that helped them in the way.

Cang Yue: Junior Brother Jean, Heavenly Sword Villa is unlike any other places. This place could be regarded as Blue Wind Empire's holy land, and also the one and only holy land.

Even the lowest ranking disciples of Heavenly Sword Villa are distinctive geniuses in the outside world. Those disciples guarding the mountain gate earlier, are all at the Spirit Profound Realm. Twenty year old Spirit Profound rankers are all qualified to become instructors in every Profound Palace branch but in Heavenly Sword Villa, they are merely gatekeepers.

Heavenly Sword Villa's inside information is ample, and their strength is enormous. It is not something that an ordinary person is capable of imagining, however, I think that Junior Brother Jean doesn't need to worry much, just don't offend them, alright?

Jean: Yeah, I know, but I won't promise anything if they go past a certain line… 'Besides, since they have a big backing, I can't do much, not only that, my current power is Question, and tomorrow is Roar… I wonder what will happen when I use Superstar.'

They finally reached their courtyard thanks to the female disciple that guided them, and the first thing that was heard was Jean's whistle.

Jean: That's a big place…

Qin Wushang: The participating teams in this ranking tournament number more than five hundred, and every participating team has one of this courtyard. The number of rooms in each pavilion are never less than eight, so as to allow each guest to have their own private room.

With the Heavenly Sword Villa's large size, forget about five hundred, even if another five hundred teams were to come, they would still not have any problems with an arrangement like this.

Disciple: Distinguished guests, please select your own rooms. When night comes, I will bring the meals to your rooms. To prevent any unnecessary conflict before the tournament, a banquet was not arranged. Please forgive us.

They nodded and each one picked their own room, after fixing everything, Qin Wushang called Jean and Fen Juechen.

Qin Wushang: This is the first time Jean visited this Heavenly Sword Villa. This is a rare opportunity, and since it is still early, why don't you two take a walk around the Villa, Fen Juechen, show him the place since you were here once.

Fen Juechen: Y-Yes…

Jean: Aww. C'mon, it's not like I will drag you again.

Jean put an arm around Fen Juechen's shoulder, as if they were friends, but Fen Juechen pushed it away and glared at Jean.

Fen Juechen: Don't touch me!

Jean: What are you, homophobic? Don't be such a wuss.

Jean placed the arm around his shoulders again, making Fen Juechen grit his teeth while they walked around.

Jean: So… Are you sure you will be able to win?

Fen Juechen: Huh?

He was surprised from the sudden question, and Jean clarified.

Jean: I mean against Fen Juebi, Senior Sister told me about your relationship with him, do you think you are able to win.

Fen Juechen: Hmph! Obviously I will win! I trained day and night just for this.

Jean: But his resources are better than yours, and I trained day and night too, guess how many realms I surpassed in 7 months? Before I left I was at the 5th True Profound Realm, and now I am at the 1st Sky Profound Realm.

Fen Juechen: ...What are you trying to say?

Jean took out a flash grenade and gave it to him, surprising him.

Jean: If you realize that he is stronger than you, pull the ring and throw it in air, after 3 seconds from when you pull the ring, close your eyes if you don't want to be blinded. Remember, this needs to be in front of his sight.

Even though Fen Juechen was a young master, so fate says that he needs to be extremely arrogant and evil, he was a man that held his morals high, and took it cluelessly before asking in surprise.

Fen Juechen: Why are you doing this for me? I am doing everything to push you away!

Jean: Don't be such a p.u.s.s.y, think of it as me trying to be friend with you, I am a bit tired of talking with women, and the last time I talked to a man at my age was around 8 or 9 months ago.

Fen Juechen looked at the cylinder-shaped thing in his hands, he didn't had an idea about what it was, the only thing he knew is that he will find out 3 seconds after pulling the ring, and he ain't pulling that shit now…

Fen Juechen: 'A friend… If I could u-'

Jean: Oh right, if you think about using me, you may lose something.

Fen Juechen: 'Nevermind…'
