"Who on earth is this woman?"

  Chen Yue could clearly hear a chorus of gasps coming from nearby when the stunningly beautiful woman appeared.

  Many people were looking at her with complicated expressions in their eyes, including jealousy, envy, and hostility...

  "Among the trial participants this time, she should be the number one, right?"

  Chen Yue smiled bitterly without saying a word. Among the trial participants this time, including Chen Yue, West, and Kaxiu, there were only nine people in total who were undergoing the disciple trial, and they should all be considered the cream of the crop.

  However, a month had passed, and only this woman had completed the disciple trial.

  From this, one could tell her strength.

  Not to mention that she was undergoing the most difficult trial for a disciple in power, and she had completed the trial in just ten days.

  "Three pieces of fourth-level life essence. I really don't know how she managed it."

  Thinking of the rumors about this woman, Chen Yue was somewhat astounded.

  Even for him, relying on the Blade Beast's instant-kill ability and adding the gains from Andre and the others, he only had one and a half pieces of fourth-level life essence. This was already an outstanding achievement. Chen Yue estimated that in the entire trial ground, his gains were only second to hers.

  "This woman should not be underestimated. Try not to provoke her if possible."

  Recalling her strange reaction when she saw the Blade Beast when they first met, Chen Yue made up his mind to keep a distance from this extremely powerful and beautiful woman.

  It seemed that she was unprepared for the lively situation in the hall. A look of surprise flashed across the woman's exquisitely beautiful face. Then, her eyebrows furrowed slightly and she was about to leave this environment that made her a bit uncomfortable.

  Halfway through, however, she was stopped by several people.

  "Tsk-tsk. If any team could invite her to join, I guess they could strut around in the trial ground," the third-level apostle suddenly said with extreme envy.

  "Nice thought. She's powerful enough on her own. How could she let others hold her back?" the woman sneered.

  Hearing this, the third-level apostle didn't get angry. Instead, he turned to West and said with a grin, "West, if you can get her to join, not to mention just one Kaxiu, even fourth-level elemental beasts might not be a problem for you."

  West smiled awkwardly. It seemed that he was a bit afraid of this third-level apostle and didn't refute on the spot. He just said sheepishly, "How could we be qualified? Look at those who stopped her. They're all third-level peak apostles. People like us don't even have the right to speak."

  "They're also here for the disciple trial, West. You're the same, right? Maybe she'll look at you differently," the third-level apostle said with a smile.

  Hearing this, West's smile became even more awkward and even a bit forced.

  Chen Yue watched coldly from the side but didn't say much. He just shifted his attention to the several people blocking the woman, with a bit more curiosity in his brows.

  "It seems that they are the remaining people undergoing the disciple trial."

  In this way, except for Kaxiu, all the people undergoing the disciple trial were gathered.

  Those people were three men and one woman. They all seemed to possess extremely powerful strength and were full of confidence in their every move. They should be figures on the same level as Andre and Kaxiu.

  Discovering this, Chen Yue couldn't help but be speechless. Come to think of it, most of those qualified for the disciple trial were third-level peak apostles, and even ordinary third-level ones were relatively few. Chen Yue and West could be said to be the exceptions.

  If it weren't for the bet between Venia and Clays Nor, perhaps with their levels, they wouldn't have been qualified.

  If among the trial participants, the apostles undergoing the disciple trial were considered a small circle, then Chen Yue and West were undoubtedly excluded from it.

  No wonder West was so embarrassed in his small group.

  Including the stunningly beautiful woman, there were a total of five third-level peak apostles standing in the middle of the hall, seemingly communicating about something, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  The surrounding noise immediately quieted down. Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear a little bit. However, fearing the strength of these five people, no one blatantly went up to listen carefully. Except for a dozen or so apostles sitting closer, most people were in a state of scratching their heads and ears.

  West and the others were undoubtedly in such a state.

  The seats they were sitting in were quite far from the center of the hall.

  The different seats of each person seemed to represent their corresponding strength. Those four people were sitting in the middle of the hall, while West and the others were sitting at the edge of the hall.

  The hall that could seat six or seven hundred people was naturally quite large. With the positions of West and the others, wanting to hear the conversation of those people was nothing but a pipe dream.

  However, for Chen Yue, it wasn't a problem.

  His hearing, which had become extremely sharp after the transformation, easily caught the conversation of those people.

  As Chen Yue had expected, those four people were indeed planning to recruit the woman into their team and were all acting extremely enthusiastically. Another good-looking red-haired woman, taking advantage of her gender, took the lead and pulled the stunningly beautiful woman and called her sister.

  The stunningly beautiful woman didn't seem to be very interested in joining the team and seldom spoke. She stood there quietly as if what the other person was talking about had nothing to do with her. After the five people had been persuading her for a long time, apart from occasionally saying "Mm" or "Hmph", she didn't even say a complete sentence.

  This situation made the five people a bit dejected. They looked at each other and could see helplessness in each other's eyes.

  Her personality seemed to be the same as her appearance, quiet and cold, leaving people completely at a loss.

  However, when the red-haired woman affectionately called her sister and tried to build a relationship, the stunningly beautiful woman suddenly looked at her and said her first complete sentence:

  "I can't be your sister. You're over 1,500 years old, much older than me."

  The red-haired woman's face froze and she stared at her stupidly, unable to say a word for a long time.

  The other four people all showed strange expressions at the same time.

  Chen Yue almost choked when he heard this. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would definitely have burst out laughing at once. Even so, a faint smile inevitably appeared at the corners of his mouth.

  This woman was really something...

  She didn't say a word for a long time, but when she did, it was such a sentence.

  If it weren't for her serious expression, anyone would think that she was mocking the red-haired woman.

  "It seems that she really can't tell the other person's polite remarks..."

  Chen Yue was a bit speechless. This woman seemed to speak very directly and simply.

  He also became a bit more vigilant in his heart. She could tell the other person's approximate age at a glance, which was quite astonishing. After all, one couldn't tell an apostle's age just from their appearance.

  The five disciple trial participants looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.

  "What do we have to do to get you to join our team?" After a while, a young man with a rough face couldn't help but ask.

  "Why should I join?" The stunningly beautiful woman's answer was extremely direct. "You're too weak."

  Hearing her answer, not only the young man who asked the question but also the faces of the other people became extremely ugly.

  The rough-faced man was so angry that he laughed instead. "We're weak? Besides you, among so many people here, who else could be our match?"

  "Who says there isn't?" The stunningly beautiful woman said calmly.

  The rough-faced man was completely enraged and sneered, "Tell me, I'd like to see who this person is."

  He sneered and swept his eyes around the people present.

  At this time, their voices also grew louder. Most of the people in the hall heard the rough-faced man's words. For a moment, everyone was extremely curious and all looked at the stunningly beautiful woman, waiting for her to say the name of this person.

  Who else, in her eyes, was even more powerful than these five third-level peak powerhouses.

  The stunningly beautiful woman didn't disappoint them either. Her cold and clear gaze started looking around in the hall.

  Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, the other people's expressions were not only ugly but also a bit solemn, and the rough-faced man's face was even gloomier to the extreme.

  At the moment of hearing their argument, the smile on Chen Yue's face froze and vaguely, he had a bad premonition.

  And when a somewhat cold gaze rested on his back, Chen Yue's ominous premonition was almost on the verge of coming true.

  Sure enough, the stunningly beautiful woman's calm voice rang out casually:

  "Look, there he is."
