"Are you picking on me?"

Ye Han stared at the man before him.

"Hahaha, a mere ant dares to accuse me of picking on him?" The man in white laughed as if he'd heard the funniest joke in the world.

Clang!

A sword cry echoed through the area as the battle sword on his back was drawn in an instant, its tip pointing at Ye Han, radiating a chilling light.

"Every man and his dog wants to join the Limitless Sword Sect. Have you no respect for our sect?"

"Ye Han, you've angered me."

"I, Ding Xiu, am putting it out there—if you can set foot on Tongtian Peak in this lifetime, I'll take your surname."

Ding Xiu's voice boomed arrogantly, drawing countless gazes.

Many figures quickly surrounded the area, including some experts from the Limitless Sword Sect who came over with great interest.

Such a scene had never before occurred at the foot of Tongtian Peak.

To join the Limitless Sword Sect, one must show sincere respect, patience, and no one dared to question the sect's members like this.

"Daring to confront Brother Ding, you're truly courting death."

Those who had envied Ye Han for passing the assessment earlier now sneered at him.

They had failed the assessment, but seeing Ye Han being put in his place and unable to join the Limitless Sword Sect brought them some satisfaction.

"Boy, you really are audacious, not taking us seriously at all."

Another Limitless Sword Sect expert sneered coldly, "A rebellious person like you is worthy of practicing the way of the sword?"

"The way of the sword is supreme, only those with a devout heart can achieve unparalleled sword intent and ultimately become an invincible Sword Immortal!"

At this moment, a man in his thirties not far away spoke up. He was a third-level expert in the Divine Power Realm and had also recently failed the assessment.

Ye Han turned his gaze, looking at the man with pity: "A devout heart? What kind of twisted logic is that?"

"At your age, you're still waiting desperately to pass the assessment? Not considering your own future, yet here you are speaking for the Limitless Sword Sect. How laughable."

The middle-aged man's face turned red with anger: "Shut up!"

Ye Han ignored him, turning instead to face Ding Xiu and the others: "I refuse to believe that the Limitless Sword Sect is ruled by a few Divine Power Realm disciples like you."

Ding Xiu sneered, "The Limitless Sword Sect isn't ruled by us, but whether you can join still depends on our mood."

"Why waste words with him? Break his legs and throw him out," another Limitless Sword Sect expert said.

The crowd spoke up, their arrogance boundless.

Ye Han looked at them coldly, thoroughly disappointed.

He had never imagined that his confident attempt to join the Limitless Sword Sect would end up like this.

Not just Ding Xiu, but all the disciples of the Limitless Sword Sect were so domineering!

These people were used to commanding others and couldn't tolerate any dissenting voices.

He didn't believe that the Limitless Sword Sect was really just ruled by these Divine Power Realm disciples.

"Brother Ding, what are you doing here?"

Just as Ye Han was about to speak again, a figure approached from a distance.

"Ye Zhixuan?"

Ye Han's eyes sharpened instantly.

Ye Zhixuan also saw him, and in an instant, their eyes met, both filled with icy coldness.

"It's Junior Sister Zhixuan."

Ding Xiu turned his gaze, his face suddenly beaming with a smile.

He pointed at Ye Han: "This fool wants to join the Limitless Sword Sect. He failed the assessment but couldn't accept it and now he's causing trouble."

Causing trouble?

Ye Han sneered.

Wasn't it your Limitless Sword Sect trying to make an example out of me, Ye Han, to intimidate the other candidates?

Ye Zhixuan stepped forward, and the Limitless Sword Sect members quickly made way for her, as if she held a high status among them.

"Ye Han, so it's you causing trouble."

Ye Zhixuan looked at Ye Han with a mocking smile: "You want to join the Limitless Sword Sect?"

Seeing this, Ding Xiu quickly spoke up: "So Junior Sister Zhixuan knows this kid, then..."

Ye Zhixuan gestured to stop Ding Xiu from speaking and then whispered something in his ear.

In a moment, Ding Xiu's expression turned interesting, a hint of malice in his eyes.

"Ye Han, is it?"

"If you truly wish to join the Limitless Sword Sect, it's not impossible."

Ding Xiu looked at Ye Han with a cold gaze: "Kneel at the foot of Tongtian Peak for ten days and nights, and after ten days, I will personally give you a Sword Token."

Ye Han made no response, just quietly watching Ding Xiu, as if trying to see through all his secrets.

Ye Zhixuan also spoke up, her tone mocking: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the Limitless Sword Sect was founded by Senior Brother Feng. If you want to join, you must kneel here to show your sincerity."

"Otherwise, despite the vastness of the Cycle Academy, if Senior Brother Feng makes a statement, no sect within the academy would dare to take you in."

"Kneel and beg me!"@@novelbin@@

"Beg me, and you might have a chance to join the Limitless Sword Sect." Ye Zhixuan looked at Ye Han with playful contempt.

So what if Ye Han had joined the Cycle Academy?

Without the blessing of a divine body, without the favor of someone like Senior Brother Feng, he was still a nobody.

Even his teacher, Mo Qingrou, at her peak, couldn't compare to Senior Brother Feng, let alone now that she was crippled and couldn't help Ye Han.

"Bitch!"

Ye Han's fists surged with power, targeting Ye Zhixuan's head.

Senior Brother Feng... Feng Wuliang?

No matter how powerful Feng Wuliang was, could he come to your rescue now?

The mighty Cycle Academy, could it be that a Child of Reincarnation like Feng Wuliang could cover the sky with one hand?

Ye Han was extremely displeased!

If he had known that the Limitless Sword Sect was founded by Feng Wuliang, he would never have come to Tongtian Peak.

Ye Zhixuan quickly retreated, the scene of almost being killed by Ye Han's punch in Demon Ridge vivid in her mind.

"How dare you make a move at the foot of Tongtian Peak, I'll cripple you!"

On the side, Ding Xiu's battle sword trembled, and he slashed at Ye Han.

"Swordsmanship is invincible?"

"Let's see how many punches you can take from me!"

Ye Han had long been irritated by Ding Xiu.

Tiger and Leopard Thunder Fist!

The moment the fist technique was unleashed, Ye Han roared like a tiger emerging from the woods, pouncing to kill everything in his path.

Boom boom boom!

With three consecutive punches, Ding Xiu's sword energy was instantly shattered.

Ye Han's blood boiled, divine power surged, and two streams of Divine Power roiled within him.

All his strength erupted like a volcanic eruption, fierce and unmatched.

Bang!

The vacuum in front of him seemed to explode.

The two figures collided several times in a brief moment, and at one point, Ding Xiu's battle sword was blown away by a punch, his body retreating more than a dozen steps as his blood churned.

Spurt!

Blood splattered.

Ding Xiu's face turned pale, disbelieving and extremely humiliated.

"Is this your so-called way of the sword?"

"Is this the basis for your arrogance?"

"Just you, trying to cripple me? Ridiculously laughable."

Ye Han's cold gaze swept over, his fighting spirit and killing intent converging together.

"You're finished, Ye Han!"

"No one has ever dared to cause trouble at the gates of the Limitless Sword Sect!"

"When Senior Brother Feng returns, he won't let you off."

Ding Xiu was furiously ashamed, spitting out more blood, supported by a group of Limitless Sword Sect experts, looking utterly miserable.

He couldn't accept it!

In less than thirty breaths, he was nearly beaten to death by Ye Han.
