Supreme Emptiness

Other people might not know, but Huang Zhantian knew very well how exceptional Jiang Fan's comprehension was.

The "Sword Heart Engraving" he had recently understood had definitely reached the level of an Earth-level Technique.

Who among the disciples in the sect could withstand such swordsmanship?

They might very well be sent flying with just one strike from Jiang Fan's sword!

Jiang Fan smiled wryly and said, "I am just an ordinary disciple. How could I be exempt from the disciple evaluation?" Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

If he were like Liu Qingxian or Wang Chengjian, a disciple above the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment,

then naturally, there would be no need for evaluation, and he would directly be considered an outstanding disciple.

But he was not.

Currently, he was still one realm short.

Huang Zhantian moved his lips, wanting to grant Jiang Fan an exemption from the evaluation.

But after considering that he was ultimately just a Supreme Elder,

it was not suitable for him to interfere too much with the sect's internal affairs.

So, he advised, "You better take it easy."

"Don't injure the disciples conducting the evaluation."

Jiang Fan smiled bitterly.

He watched as Huang Zhantian left for the Observation Platform with his hands behind his back.

Meanwhile, a deathly silence had already descended around Jiang Fan.

Xu Youran's eyes widened: "Fan, you... you know the Supreme Elder of Carefree Peak?"

Jiang Fan nodded his chin and said, "I've met him once."

But Chen Silin shook her head, her eyes gleaming with joy: "It doesn't look like you just know him."

"He seems very familiar with you."

Jiang Fan rubbed his nose and muttered, "We're really not that close."

"We just met once and talked a little."

Just talked a little?

The surrounding disciples' eyes nearly turned red.

"You expect us to believe that nonsense!"

"Just talked a little and the Supreme Elder would come down specifically to speak with you?"

"Moreover, do you think a Supreme Elder is someone you can casually chat with?"

...

Tang Tianlong stared dazedly at Jiang Fan.

He never expected Jiang Fan to be acquainted with a Supreme Elder!

He was extremely jealous!

Because he hadn't even managed to curry favor with the Supreme Elder of Reincarnation Peak.

Yet Jiang Fan had befriended the Supreme Elder of Carefree Peak.

"No wonder he dares to be so arrogant, he actually has some backing!"

"Too bad, this time there will be more than one Supreme Elder present!"

"Even if Supreme Elder Huang wanted to help you cheat, he'd have to see if the other Supreme Elders would agree!"

Just then,

the disciples in the distance let out another exclamation.

They saw an old man with a disheveled beard and ragged clothes, gliding close to the ground on a rusty iron sword.

If he could fly just a bit higher, one might almost mistake it for the legendary Sword Flight.

"It's Supreme Elder Shi Kaitian of Heavenly Sword Peak!"

"Hasn't he been out training for decades?"

"When did he come back?"

Tang Tianlong let out a cold laugh: "See that, Jiang Fan?"

"I told you there'd be more than one Supreme Elder attending!"

"And this Supreme Elder Shi Kaitian despises treachery and deceit the most!"

"If Supreme Elder Huang dares to cheat for you, he'll have to consider Shi Kaitian's temper, and see if it's gotten any worse over the years!"

However,

the next moment,

Tang Tianlong was stunned.

Shi Kaitian, riding on the iron sword, glided past the disciples with a blank expression.

Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught sight of Jiang Fan.

His mouth twitched and he stopped, saying, "Boy, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Fan was speechless.

Were these Supreme Elders too idle?

Why did they all come over to add their two cents?

He respectfully replied, "I'm here to participate in the evaluation."

Hm?

Shi Kaitian's eyes widened.

He had personally witnessed Jiang Fan defeating the Nie Clan siblings of Heavenly Sword Peak.

One was at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment, the other at the Seventh.

Both were rated as outstanding disciples by the sect.

Jiang Fan defeated them so easily, did his evaluation score need to be reassessed?

"Is your master that idle?"

"With your level of strength, he still let you come out to participate in the disciple evaluation?"

Jiang Fan couldn't respond to this.

A Supreme Elder could criticize Liu Wuchen, but what disciple would dare?

Shi Kaitian rolled his eyes and said, "Take it easy!"

"The disciple conducting the evaluation this time is only at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment. Don't hit too hard and cripple him!"

Jiang Fan watched speechlessly as he too went to the Observation Platform.

The disciples around him now looked at him very differently.

Before, everyone thought he was a lucky kid with no Spirit Root who managed to become Liu Wuchen's disciple.

But now, no one dared think that way anymore.

Two Supreme Elders were very familiar with him.

Who would dare to underestimate such connections?

Even Tang Tianlong was stunned; he hadn't even managed to curry favor with one Supreme Elder.

Yet Jiang Fan was on good terms with two at the same time.

The more it was, the more he resented it, saying, "So what if you know two Supreme Elders? More Supreme Elders are around this time!"

"If you want to rely on them to pass, let's see if the other Supreme Elders would agree!"

At that moment,

another exclamation came from the disciples as yet another Supreme Elder arrived.

It was Zheng Qiushuang of Flat Cloud Peak.

When he passed by a group of disciples and saw Jiang Fan from a distance, he too showed a strange expression.

Muttering, he said, "You brat, what are you doing here for the evaluation?"

"Got nothing better to do?"

Jiang Fan was exasperated, saying, "Supreme Elder, my abilities are insufficient. I must attend the evaluation."

Zheng Qiushuang rolled his eyes and snorted, "You, insufficient abilities?"

"You're quite good at reverse bragging!"

With that, he left.

Leaving everyone in stunned silence.

Yes, they were already numb.

It seemed every Supreme Elder knew Jiang Fan.

And they all had a high opinion of his abilities.

How did he manage to gain so much favor from these Supreme Elders?

Tang Tianlong was almost consuming with jealousy.

Why?

He worked so hard, but none of the Supreme Elders even glanced at him.

Yet a worthless Jiang Fan with no Spirit Root received their favor!

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "What are you gloating about, there are more Supreme Elders here this time..."

Another disciple quickly interrupted him: "Senior Brother Tang, don't say anymore."

"If you keep going, another Supreme Elder might come to greet him."

Tang Tianlong reluctantly closed his mouth.

He gave Jiang Fan a hateful glare, secretly vowing.

If Jiang Fan wanted to pass his evaluation?

Dream on!

"Sigh!"

Jiang Fan sighed helplessly: "I just want to quietly finish the disciple evaluation."

"One by one, they all come to cause trouble for me."

Xu Youran rolled her eyes at him: "Being insincere after getting the benefit."

"You know they are very envious that you know three Supreme Elders?"

Chen Silin happily hugged his arm, smiling warmly: "My husband is just that impressive, hehe."

She thought to herself.

Fortunately, the Supreme Elders didn't know that Jiang Fan was also a Three-Star Soul Master.

Otherwise, even more Supreme Elders would favor him.

Just then,

Liu Wuchen arrived on a flying crane.

Following him were Wang Chengjian and a group of Sect Master Peak disciples.

When Wang Chengjian saw Jiang Fan from afar, he frowned and said, "Why are you wandering around alone?"

"Hurry over and join the discussion."

Chen Silin's brows furrowed.

She said, "Husband, this guy is so annoying!"

"Perform well later and make sure he never looks down on you again!"

Jiang Fan nodded slightly.

Wang Chengjian, relying on his status as the Big Senior Brother, constantly targeted him.

He had let many things slide before.

Those were mere trifles.

But last time, during the evaluation conducted by the Supreme Elder of Sect Master Peak,

Wang Chengjian intentionally framed Jiang Fan, almost getting him expelled from the sect!

This score could not be settled lightly.
