Supreme Emptiness

Tang Tianlong originally wanted to put some pressure on Jiang Fan.

He wanted him to learn from other disciples, flatter him, and beg him.

Of course, even if Jiang Fan really begged him, he wouldn't go easy on him!

He just wanted to mess with Jiang Fan.

He didn't expect Jiang Fan to be so defiant.

To show him such disrespect in public.

And even speak arrogantly that as long as he's the one assessing, there would be no problem.

He couldn't help but smirk as he looked Jiang Fan up and down.

"Oh, where does your confidence come from? That you can certainly pass my assessment?"

"You should understand that whether I take it seriously or not makes a big difference."

"If I take it seriously, even those at the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment will barely pass with a qualified evaluation."

"If I don't take it seriously, even those at the First Layer of Foundation Establishment can pass."

"Understand?"

He smiled meaningfully.

His words were full of threats.

Meaning it would be easy to kick Jiang Fan out of the Green Cloud Sect, all depending on his mood.

Jiang Fan felt relieved after hearing this: "Then I feel reassured."

For he had already reached the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment.

At least he wouldn't end up with an unqualified evaluation.

As for getting a good grade, it didn't seem too hard.

Huh?

Tang Tianlong felt annoyed.

It was like punching a cotton ball.

He bluntly said, "Jiang Fan, if you beg me sincerely now, perhaps I will be merciful and not make things difficult for you."

"Letting you pass the assessment is just a matter of a word from me."

"If you remain this clueless, don't blame me for being strictly by the book."

Such blatant threats were openly spoken.

It showed how brazen he was.

The surrounding disciples all pretended not to hear; they still needed favors from Tang Tianlong.

Xu Youran, seeing that both sides were about to clash, sensibly took out a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills to represent Jiang Fan in softening their stance.

But before she could speak.

Jiang Fan snatched the Foundation Establishment Pill, giving her a reproachful look:

"Do you think Foundation Establishment Pills are free?"

He thought it was the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill he gave himself.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be a Low Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

He couldn't help showing a look of disdain.

These days, he found such Pills cumbersome to carry.

At that moment, a disciple from the Outer Sect of Sect Master Peak was walking a big yellow dog from the peak.

Jiang Fan immediately called out.

"Hey, Big Yellow."

Upon hearing Jiang Fan's voice, the big yellow dog ran over immediately, rubbing affectionately against his legs.

"Here, eat this."

Jiang Fan poured the Foundation Establishment Pill onto the ground. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

The crowd was immediately astonished.

"What is he doing? Feeding the month's Low Grade Foundation Establishment Pill to a dog?"

"What does he mean by this?"

"A Low Grade Foundation Establishment Pill is worth a full hundred Crystal Stones."

Someone wanted to step forward and stop him.

But Big Yellow quickly snatched it up and swallowed it whole.

Then it gratefully wagged its tail at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan patted its head and said, "Youran, did you see that?"

"Give this Low Grade Foundation Establishment Pill to a dog, and it will wag its tail and please you."

"Give it to some people, and they will laugh at you and think you're a fool easy to manipulate."

"Understand?"

Xu Youran rolled her eyes at him: "Educating me now, are you?"

But she understood that Jiang Fan wasn't entirely wrong.

If Tang Tianlong had made up his mind to ostracize Jiang Fan, no amount of goodwill would help.

Instead, they would only be mocked and ridiculed.

Chen Silin, being more experienced than Xu Youran, had already seen that Tang Tianlong intended to toy with them.

She bent down and petted the big yellow dog, smiling, "Husband is right."

"Better to give the Foundation Establishment Pill to a dog than to some people."

"Because they are not even as good as dogs."

She and Jiang Fan echoed each other, implying insults.

This made Tang Tianlong's expression stiffen.

He gritted his teeth and growled, "Jiang Fan! Are you looking to die?"

He couldn't understand.

Did Jiang Fan not realize his fate was in his hands?

If he didn't want Jiang Fan to pass, it just took a flick of his finger.

"Who's making noise here?"

An irritable voice came through.

The disciples around Tang Tianlong immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Because they recognized it, this was Wen Hongyao, known for her fiery temper in the Green Cloud Sect.

No disciple wanted to provoke her.

The crowd parted.

Wen Hongyao naturally saw Jiang Fan.

Her dark face brightened up immediately, smiling as she approached, volunteering a greeting: "Kid, any issue with your disciple rating?"

Jiang Fan cupped his hands: "Thanks for Elder Wen's concern, this disciple is confident."

Hearing this, Wen Hongyao's face turned stern.

She said to Tang Tianlong nearby: "You're the one assessing this disciple, right?"

This Elder Wen was someone Tang Tianlong didn't dare provoke either, so he hurriedly saluted: "Responding to Elder Wen, yes, it's me."

Wen Hongyao pointed at Jiang Fan: "Be strict with this kid. It's best if he doesn't pass, so he's expelled from the Green Cloud Sect and loses his disciple qualifications!"

"Then I can take him into my Medicine Peak!"

Having said that, she left chuckling.

Jiang Fan's forehead broke into a sweat.

Wen Hongyao still wanted to take him as a disciple!

Watching Wen Hongyao leave, Tang Tianlong looked back at Jiang Fan, finally understanding where his confidence came from.

"Alright! Now I see why you dare to defy me."

"Turns out you've latched onto Elder Wen's support!"

"I really underestimated you, to be able to charm Elder Wen! Truly impressive!"

Xu Youran and Chen Silin were both stunned.

They knew Wen Hongyao's temper.

She never showed any kindness to her disciples at her peak.

Let alone Outer Sect disciples.

They didn't expect her to treat Jiang Fan differently.

No wonder he was so confident in passing the assessment.

Jiang Fan shrugged.

He had nothing to explain.

"Humph!" Tang Tianlong snorted: "What if you have Elder Wen's backing?"

"I'm telling you, even if Sect Master Liu backs you, it's useless!"

"Because this assessment will be personally supervised by the Supreme Elder."

"No one dares to tamper with your evaluation!"

Disciples' ratings were crucial matters for the sect.

Because they affected each disciple's future treatment and status in the Green Cloud Sect.

They also impacted the strength of each peak and their future resource allocation.

Moreover, it involved the qualification for this beast tide defense.

Jiang Fan nodded slightly: "Then I am completely reassured."

With the Supreme Elder personally supervising, Tang Tianlong and Feng Guchan could only pull some minor tricks.

They wouldn't dare to manipulate the ratings at will.

As long as he didn't perform too poorly, getting a good rating wouldn't be difficult.

Tang Tianlong snorted: "Keep talking tough!"

"I want to see who will back you when you get eliminated!"

No sooner had he finished speaking.

A sudden exclamation came from the disciples.

"That's Carefree Peak's Supreme Elder's mount, it's Supreme Elder Huang!"

Everyone looked up to see a double-headed black hawk flying over their heads.

Suddenly, Huang Zhantian spotted Jiang Fan.

He controlled the black hawk to circle and land in front of Jiang Fan.

In the nearly stunned eyes of Tang Tianlong and all the disciples present.

He walked up to Jiang Fan, rolling his eyes:

"Kid, do you still need a rating?"

"Who is qualified to rate you?"
