Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 557: Chapter 318, Sixth Generation: The true face is revealed, all the prodigies bow!_2

This is a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor, a Human Emperor Divine Body rarely seen in millennia, a prodigious talent who reached the Dharma Realm at the age of twenty.

Yet according to the old blind man’s evaluation, it was merely "not bad"?

If even this couldn’t catch his eye, how could other mediocre Qi Refiners survive?

However, Ji Hao was overjoyed, as if he heard some heavenly praise, and a smile he couldn’t suppress appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Because he understood better than anyone what kind of piercing insight this elderly man had.

This is the Celestial Emperor’s wise mentor!

An ancient existence whose mere word could cause countless deities to fight with broken heads, all eager to enter his school.

And for Ji Chen to receive an evaluation of "not bad" from the old blind man, it was clear he had great potential!

"Imperial Tutor?"

The young prodigies exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

Due to their noble status, they naturally knew more secrets than other Qi Refiners.

According to the clan’s ancient records.

The Imperial Tutor was not only the teacher of the Celestial Emperor, but also the most revered sage who enlightened the entire Human Race!

Although his power was somewhat inferior compared to the Celestial Emperor of the Human Race, his identity and status were a bit more esteemed.

However, after the ancient war.

The Celestial Emperor of the Human Race fell in grief, and the fate of the Imperial Tutor was unknown, eventually leading to such a state.

Yet no matter how fallen or miserable he might become, he was still an unparalleled existence who had survived since ancient times!

Given his insight and experience, Ji Chen being rated as "not bad" already counted as extraordinarily demonic talent!

The clan leaders of other tribes, seeing this, also rushed to introduce their younger generations to the elder, hoping he could give them an appraisal.

However, aside from Ji Chen, only the double pupil Yu Qi among the twenty or so prodigies could catch the old blind man’s attention for an extra moment.

It wasn’t until the old blind man saw Jiang Wan that he gave another evaluation.

"A mind as brilliant as an orchid, wise and intelligent beyond appearance."

Just this one sentence made the old clan leader of the Shennong Clan grin from ear to ear, casting a proud glance at Ji Hao.

Yu Xiong glanced around, but did not see that young figure among the crowd, feeling somewhat regretful in his heart.

However, the candidates for the trip to the Ancestral Court were personally decided by the Imperial Tutor, and even he couldn’t interfere.

When all the prodigies had shown their faces, only then did Ji Hao respectfully ask.

"Senior Imperial Tutor, the hour has come, all the most outstanding juniors of each clan are here, shall we set off now?"

"No rush, there’s still a distinguished guest who hasn’t arrived, let’s wait a bit longer."

The old blind man said unhurriedly from his seat of honor.

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to stand quietly in place and wait.

Ji Hao and several clan leaders exchanged glances, sharing a look of confusion.

The major clans interacted frequently, and the most outstanding prodigies among them all knew each other.

What was this senior Imperial Tutor still waiting for?

Could there be a prodigy in the Great Wilderness that surpassed the Human Emperor Divine Body, the Ancient Heavy Pupils, and the Geng Metal Sword Body?

Besides, with the status and position of the Imperial Tutor, even the Celestial Emperor of the Human Race had to show respect towards a disciple in the past.

Who could possibly have such great face to make him personally wait for so long?

Amidst the eager anticipation of all present.

A young man in a beast robe arrived late, finally stepping into the hall of the Youyu Clan.

The young man had a slender figure and deep eyes.

Although there was a trace of innocence on his face, his demeanor was composed and unhurried, already showing the poise of a strong figure.

However, the beast robe he wore was extremely rough in craftsmanship, making it look very rustic and unsightly compared to the elegant robes the other prodigies wore.

So much so that the young man appeared to have no presence at all, resembling a bumpkin from deep within the mountains.

"Is he the distinguished guest the senior Imperial Tutor was waiting for?"

Ji Chen and Qing Yan, along with the other young prodigies, were utterly dumbfounded.

Even with their identities as Human Emperor Divine Bodies and descendants of the Celestial Emperor, the Imperial Tutor paid them no mind.

Yet, a bumpkin that came from who knows where was treated as a distinguished guest by the Imperial Tutor?

Moreover, for some reason, Qing Yan and the others felt that this beast-robed young man seemed somewhat familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere before.

Wait!

Isn’t he the gambler who lost his cool and revealed his ugly side earlier?

Qing Yan and the others recalled everything they saw at the Youyu Clan’s Gambling Stone Workshop, all feeling that this was utterly absurd, faces full of disbelief.

How could a gambler be treated as a distinguished guest by the Imperial Tutor, could they be dreaming?

Lu Yuan took note of everyone’s reactions, but felt little disturbance within.

In fact.

It was perfectly normal for Qing Yan and the others not to recognize him.

After all, to be on the safe side, only Yu Xiong knew the whole story of the matter.

And the trades between Lu Yuan and other clans were also completed through Yu Xiong.

Even Yu Qi, who had Heavy Pupils, was kept in the dark, let alone anyone else.

"Senior, my apologies. I was slightly delayed by insights gained during recent cultivation."

Lu Yuan, unconcerned with these trivial details, walked straight to the Imperial Tutor and apologized.

He had been in seclusion for cultivation these past few days, having just made an insight that allowed him to step into Inscription Realm Perfection, which caused him to lose track of time.

"No worries, Friend Lu. To reach Inscription Realm Perfection at such an age shows truly extraordinary talent."

The Imperial Tutor seemed to transform upon seeing Lu Yuan, smiling and offering generous praise.

"Senior Imperial Tutor is absolutely right. Friend Lu’s talent is unparalleled, even I feel inferior."

Yu Xiong nodded in agreement.

Ji Hao and the others were dumbfounded upon hearing these words.

They could tell at a glance what realm Lu Yuan was in.

Being only five years old and already achieving Inscription Realm Perfection was indeed impressive talent.

However, there are countless prodigies in the world, as numerous as fish crossing the river.

For instance, descendants of the Celestial Emperor like Ji Chen inherit a portion of Law Dao Marks in their bloodline almost at birth, easily surpassing the Inscription Realm.

Despite Lu Yuan’s talent being good, was it truly worthy of such praise from the Imperial Tutor?

Moreover, from Yu Xiong’s unaffected demeanor, he seemed to be familiar with the young man in the beast robe?

"Wait! Could he be..."

A flash of insight crossed Ji Hao’s mind, and his expression changed drastically.

Yu Xiong had previously paid a hefty price to borrow the Five Elements Treasures from them for some time.

Originally, Ji Hao and the others thought Yu Xiong intended to pave the way for Yu Qi.

But now, judging by the Five Elements aura emanating from Lu Yuan,

everything Yu Xiong did was clearly for this young man clad in a beast robe!

"It seems, then, that the Ice and Fire Spirit Silkworm and Fusang Divine Leaf also belong to this young man."

"This young man even reversed the outcome of that bet, so Yu Xiong spared no expense to win him over, even if it meant currying favor..."

Ji Hao’s heart trembled as he connected the dots between Yu Clan and Celestial Fate Sect’s struggle for fortune, finally understanding the key point.

"Yu Xiong, you old fox, you’ve kept me completely in the dark!"

Ji Hao smiled wryly.

Yu Xiong coughed awkwardly, a bit embarrassed.

After obtaining Lu Yuan’s consent, he looked at the crowd.

"Everyone, let me introduce Friend Lu Yuan from the Great Wind Tribe, also the savior of our Youyu Clan."

As soon as his words fell,

aside from the clan leaders who already deduced the truth, the other young prodigies were in an uproar.

A compulsive gambler, deemed a guest of honor by the Imperial Tutor, was one thing.

But when did he become the savior of the Youyu Clan?

Had the world gone mad?

Qing Yan and others buzzed in bewilderment, struggling to accept this reality for a long time.

Though they were not as cunning as Ji Hao and the others, they were not ordinary either.

Seeing Yu Xiong reveal Lu Yuan’s identity, they quickly understood the whole story.

But the more they contemplated this matter, the more they were terrified by its implications.

Lu Yuan’s act was too convincing.

Their apparent madness, desperate gamble, seemed to portray a losing gambler so vividly it didn’t feel like acting at all.

If not for Yu Xiong revealing everything, they would still be completely oblivious!

"A true master hides their abilities, revealing them not."

"This person not only altered the fate of the Youyu Clan with his efforts but also concealed his identity so well."

"Such methods, such calculative nature, we humbly concede!"

"No wonder the Imperial Tutor holds him in such high regard; this is a true high master!"

Everyone was filled with admiration, accepting Lu Yuan wholeheartedly, with no trace of disdain or arrogance.

Even the crude beast robe on Lu Yuan, in their eyes now seemed to take on a unique and extraordinary quality.

The true prodigies and strong warriors are often unconventional in their ways.

Just like beings such as the Imperial Tutor.

No matter how disheveled or ragged, who dares to look down upon them?

And Lu Yuan’s peculiar style, clad in beast skin, clearly seems to have inherited a bit of the Imperial Tutor’s true teachings!
