My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

"...Are you angry?"

"I'm not angry."

"You are angry."

"I'm not angry!"

After staring deeply at Chen Yu for a few moments, the long-haired man lowered his head and pondered, "Is it because... completing the examination under my protection makes you feel pressured?"

Chen Yu: "..."

"Don't overthink it." Stretching out his hand, he patted Chen Yu's shoulder, his expression stern, "In this world, connections are also a display of strength. After all, you have limited talent, and graduating is the hard truth."

"..." Chen Yu remained silent.

"What did you break?" the long-haired man asked.

"It's nothing." Stowing the two halves of the tooth back into his pocket, Chen Yu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed his irritable mood.

As time passed, his "foul temper" had been spreading faster and faster.

This would be like in "Fantasy Westward Journey," starting with the Arhat Gold Bell, followed by a bloody violent attack in the second round. If the opponent didn't fall, he would strike with a sweep through the army, activate the tornado rain strike, followed by the Lightning Five Successive Whips.

No matter whether the opponent fought back or not, after this combination, with the character of the dragon girl, her rage level would definitely be full again, decisively using blink to initiate the big move, a R-skill Dragon Descendant brings destruction...

"That's not right."

'What am I thinking about.'

Chen Yu covered his head, suppressed his random thoughts, and weakly waved his hand, "Let's go."

It had been quite a struggle to shake off the "green-haired idiot" and numerous "live broadcasting cameras"; now, he just wanted an opportunity to ambush and silently, quickly, and unnoticed take down this long-haired man.

Then, he could copy the man's supernatural abilities or Defying Fate Skill.

"Alright." Nodding his head, the long-haired man no longer said anything and turned around, leading the way, "Seems like you're in a hurry, so I'll speed up. Keep up." Stay updated via empire

"Sure!"

Chen Yu then pulled out a new "My Sister's White Tooth" and glared fiercely at the retreating figure of the long-haired man.

"Someone's coming."

But just as Chen Yu was about to lift the "tooth."

The long-haired man suddenly turned around, looking toward a grove on the right rear side, his tone ice-cold, "Who's there? Skulking about. Come out!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu looked over to see his plump neighbor cautiously poking his head out, suppressing his excitement and waving to Chen Yu, "Yu! I've finally found you!"

Next to him, a live broadcasting camera was hovering.

Chen Yu: "..."

...

An hour later.

Western Capital Test Site.

Chen Yu, his plump neighbor, and the long-haired man had successfully reached the central area of the test site.

Looking up, they could see the massive structure of the Sky-reaching Tower, majestically towering straight into the clouds.

It was an imposing and spectacular sight!

"Yu." While walking, the plump neighbor whispered, "You seem unhappy."

"I'm very happy," Chen Yu said expressionlessly.

"Then why haven't you spoken the whole way?"

"I'm so happy that I want to curse when I talk," Chen Yu replied, looking at his plump neighbor, "Do you want to hear it?"

If it hadn't been for this fat man, he might have already copied the "Five-layer Defiant Skill" from the long-haired man's "corpse."

"No... I don't want to."

"Then shut up."

Under the guidance of the long-haired man, the three walked for a few more minutes.

A man in a military vest appeared, waving a red flag in his hand, stopping them and pointing at the white line on the ground, speaking softly, "Safe zone ahead. Think carefully before entering."

"Safe zone?" the plump neighbor asked in confusion, "What does that mean? No fighting inside?"

"Yes," the examiner nodded, "To prevent strong Transcendents from ambushing others in the narrow central area, we've designated a safe zone. Stepping into it means the examination is complete."

"It means that once you cross this line, the examination is over," the long-haired man adjusted his trench coat collar, turned around, and asked Chen Yu and the plump neighbor, "Are you sure you both have enough points to graduate?"

"Enough," the plump neighbor raised his hand.

"Hmm," Chen Yu nodded.

"Then let's go," the long-haired man with his hands in his pockets, confidently stepped over the white line.

Chen Yu and his plump neighbor followed closely behind.

Officially completing their first examination in their Transcendent careers.

"This big shot, you must be participating in the upcoming arena battle, right?" the plump neighbor rubbed his hands, "Do you have enough points too?"

"Of course," the long-haired man's expression was cool, "Don't measure the levels of the strong by your standards. Points are trivial for me."

"Awesome, awesome!" The chubby neighbor gave a thumbs up, "You truly are the top person of the Alliance Academy. Not only are you warm-hearted, but also strong. Without your escort, Yu and I would have had to fight at least three more battles to get here."

After all, flattery costs nothing.

The chubby neighbor felt he could keep up the compliments for a month without repeating himself.

"Heh."

The long-haired man's smile almost reached his ears, "You sweet talker, I've got your back from now on."

By then, the sky was almost dark.

There were only about five or six hours left until the end of the examination.

Chen Yu didn't want to bother anymore.

He just wanted to find a place to rest and get some good sleep.

Thus, he didn't join in the conversation between the chubby neighbor and the long-haired man, focusing only on hurrying along.

Going ever faster.

"Yu, how many points do you have?" Seeing this, the chubby neighbor also unconsciously quickened his pace, following behind Chen Yu: "Is it enough to graduate? If not, I have some. I've got a total of 5 points."

"5 points?" Chen Yu looked back as he walked, sizing him up: "Not bad. How did you do it?"

"I was anxious to find you." The chubby neighbor boasted, "I just went around asking and fighting, asking one, fighting one. This exam is much easier than I thought. I didn't even use my secret weapon."

Hearing this, Chen Yu nodded thoughtfully.

He knew that the chubby neighbor's superpower was actually an A+ grade top-tier ability.

No matter how foolish the alliance side was to give him a C- rating, but as the "confrontations" increased, the gap between the chubby neighbor and other Transcendents was destined to grow wider and wider.

"With 5 points." The long-haired man was inwardly shocked, but his face remained indifferent: "For superpower users with low-level talent like yours, that's pretty rare."

The chubby neighbor nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes..."

After stepping into the safe zone.

The trio hadn't gone far before they reached the eastern gate among the four major gates—east, west, north, and south—of the Sky-reaching Tower.

Upon closer inspection.

The majesty of the Sky-reaching Tower appeared even more vast.

To the left and right, arcs were hard to see.

Looking up, the top was out of sight.

Neatly arranged stone carving murals were all varied. There were Taoist and Buddhist graphics, lady paintings, birds and beasts, and folk customs paintings. There were also Western paintings, sketches, abstract, and landscape paintings.

Abstract, classical, ink wash, surrealism.

All-encompassing.

At first glance, the styles seemed chaotic.

But being among them, each mural was arranged systematically, exuding an indescribable sense of organized beauty.

"What a bizarre structure." Reaching the doorway, Chen Yu stopped and looked up, observing: "How did you combine Middle Ages pagoda style with the Gothic style from Victoria's golden era... "

"Young man, are you knowledgeable about architectural disciplines?" At some point, the chief examiner, a beautiful woman clad in a gauze dress, floated beside Chen Yu, admiring the murals of the Sky-reaching Tower with him.

"The chief examiner is here." The long-haired man crossed his arms and nodded respectfully at the chief examiner.

"Hello." The chief examiner smiled back and then continued to ask Chen Yu, "Do you know about architecture?"

"Not really." Chen Yu didn't turn around, "I was just pretending to impress you when I saw you coming."

Chief examiner: "..."

After a moment of silence, the chief examiner, slightly smacking her lips, spoke, "I'm not surprised you completed the exam. But I'm curious, how many points will you choose to turn in tonight?"

"I'll turn in 1 point." Chen Yu held up a finger, "Just enough to graduate."

"Really?" The chief examiner nodded, "I thought the student of my junior sister would be a bit more ambitious."

"Junior sister?" Chen Yu was taken aback, "My mentor is your junior sister?"

"Mm-hmm." The chief examiner patted Chen Yu on the back and didn't say anything further, drifting away.

Only when the chief examiner had "flown" away did the chubby neighbor dare to speak, looking puzzled, "Yu, what did she mean just now? How many points do you have anyway?"

"Over a hundred points." Waving his hand, Chen Yu casually mentioned, then walked straight through the eastern gateway of the Sky-reaching Tower.

"What?!" The chubby neighbor was shocked, "Over a hundred points?! Holy shit, really?"

"Stupid. Can't you hear he's joking?"

On the side, the long-haired man who had been silently admiring the murals laughed.

He elegantly smoothed his long hair, "With this session's exam rules, getting thirty points is already top-tier. If anyone gets over a hundred, I'll wear a bitter gourd as a hat."

Chen Yu stopped in his tracks and spun around, "Really?"

Long-haired man: "?"
