Dongfang Ming looked at the object in Wei Chen's hand, and the strange expression in his eyes gradually turned into greed.
"These two are actually from a high-level Spatial Plane. Their becoming disciples of the Right Holy Academy is already a done deal," Dongfang Ming coldly observed Wei Chen and Shaohou, who both remained oblivious to the kind of expression Dongfang Ming wore.
"The rest of those people are at a level similar to mine in the Ancestral Realm. These two will undoubtedly occupy two spots, which means my chances of becoming a disciple of the Right Holy Academy will diminish even further."
The more Dongfang Ming thought about it, the angrier he became. He secretly mused, "That spiritual weapon is even impressive enough for Shopkeeper Shen; it must be something extraordinary..."
"These two cannot be left alive!"
With that thought, an extremely faint killing intent emanated from Dongfang Ming.
Wei Chen, with his powerful Mental Strength, immediately sensed Dongfang Ming's murderous intent.
He did not turn around but quietly kept his guard up, thinking to himself, "Greed has taken hold; that scoundrel cannot be allowed to live. I need to find an opportunity to eliminate him! But I wonder if taking out a candidate disciple at the Right Holy Academy would cause too much trouble?"
Wei Chen made up his mind to ask Golden Wolf when he returned. If possible, he wouldn’t let Dongfang Ming live much longer.
On the Witch Clan continent, apart from Shaohou, Wei Chen trusted no one.
He had no desire to encounter any backstabbing.
"If I don’t eliminate that scoundrel early on, during the selection conference at the Right Holy Academy, he could strike from behind when I least expect it!"
Wei Chen was never one to be trifled with; he was always ruthless toward those who harbored murderous intentions against him. Although Dongfang Ming's killing intent was weak, Wei Chen caught it and would not allow such a situation to arise.
Wei Chen quietly noted Dongfang Ming's thoughts. Without turning around, he looked at the Old Innkeeper and smiled lightly, saying, "Thank you for your kind words. If I truly become a disciple of the Right Holy Academy, I will definitely return here to inform you."
To Shopkeeper Shen, who had operated within Right Holy City for countless years, Wei Chen felt it was necessary to maintain some basic respect. For someone like him who had just arrived in this new place, getting to know more people was always beneficial.
The Old Innkeeper could understand Wei Chen's intentions. Wei Chen was looking to make connections, and the Old Innkeeper certainly wouldn't pass up such an opportunity. If it were just Wei Chen alone, the Old Innkeeper might not have been interested at all. However, due to the Reprint, the Old Innkeeper believed that Wei Chen would surely become a disciple of the Right Holy Academy, and his status would not be low.
With that in mind, the Old Innkeeper thought Wei Chen was someone worth befriending.
"It has been many years since such an interesting outsider has appeared in Right Holy City. Perhaps this young man can make a name for himself," he mused with a chuckle. "Brother, work hard! Joining the Right Holy Academy is the beginning of your rise to greatness."
Wei Chen smiled and replied, "I will definitely become a disciple of the Right Holy Academy; I have never lost my confidence in that." With that, he clasped his fists together and left the Pawnshop with Shaohou.
Dongfang Ming silently followed behind Wei Chen and Shaohou, looking somewhat dejected.
Who would have thought that just a few hours after meeting Wei Chen and Shaohou, Dongfang Ming, who had considered himself the leader among them, would now appear as nothing more than a follower?
The situation changed too quickly for him to even reflect on it. The reason was simple: Wei Chen possessed a Witch Artifact that amazed Shopkeeper Shen at the Pawnshop, and both Wei Chen and Shaohou's Ancestral Realms were far more powerful than Dongfang Ming's.
"Brother Dongfang, we now have some basic Witch Stones as well. As you said, those things we brought from Witch Clan are truly worthless here!" Wei Chen said with a bitter smile, genuinely feeling that Witch Clan was quite exploitative.
Dongfang Ming shook his head. "Wei Chen, your Ancestral Realm is already quite advanced. The things you brought out are worth ten times more than what I have. Especially that seal of yours; from Shopkeeper Shen's tone, it seems to be quite impressive."
Dongfang Ming looked at Wei Chen with eyes full of envy.
Yet beneath that envy lay resentment.
It is normal for people to envy what others possess and their status. However, once it reaches the level of jealousy, it indicates a serious imbalance in one's mindset.
Dongfang Ming's mentality had already become somewhat distorted.
Shaohou was no fool. He glanced at Dongfang Ming and sighed inwardly, thinking, "Why does Dongfang Ming have to set his sights on Wei Chen of all people?"
Shaohou began to mourn for Dongfang Ming. He had known Wei Chen for some years and understood well what it meant to target him. In short, it would not end well.
Wei Chen smiled humbly and said, "Brother Dongfang, you flatter us too much. Our Ancestral Realm is just average. That seal is the strongest artifact from our world, immensely powerful, but in the Witch Clan's realm, it's just so-so."
His humility was laced with pride; Wei Chen knew that expression was the most annoying.
His goal was to provoke Dongfang Ming. As long as Dongfang Ming took the bait, he could act directly.
Sure enough, Dongfang Ming was displeased by Wei Chen's expression. His smile became increasingly insincere as he replied, "The oldest pawnshop in Right Holy City, Shopkeeper Shen, has keen insight. If that seal can reach the Witch Artifact level in the Witch Clan's realm, it must be true. Brother Wei Chen, Brother Shaohou, you both will surely become disciples of the Right Holy Academy. Don't forget about me when that happens!"
"What does it matter? We all become disciples of the Right Holy Academy together; there's no question of forgetting each other! If any one of us fails to pass the selection and becomes ineligible for the Right Holy Academy, it basically means one of us is done for," Wei Chen said with a grin.
Dongfang Ming nodded and replied, "That's true; it's better if we all become disciples together."
After that, Dongfang Ming continued to show Wei Chen and Shaohou around Right Holy City. The more people they encountered, the more insignificant Wei Chen and Shaohou felt. Even common vendors on the street could potentially outmatch them in a confrontation. Although Wei Chen and Shaohou had decent martial skills, the strength of the Witch Clan members was formidable; every inch of their flesh seemed to contain explosive power that made them formidable opponents.
Moreover, being newcomers unfamiliar with the environment of the Witch Clan's realm left them feeling an overwhelming pressure in the air. Compared to their experiences in the Endless Divine Realm, any battle here would significantly affect both their strength and speed.
For outsiders like them compared to the locals of the Witch Clan's realm, their only advantage might be their rich experience. After all, those who could come to the Witch Clan's realm were seasoned veterans who had cultivated for countless years in their own Ancestral Realms—each one had survived by licking blood off blades.
"Shaohou, what do you think?" Wei Chen suddenly asked as they walked along.
Shaohou was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Is this Witch Clan realm what you expected?" Wei Chen smiled as he inquired.
Shaohou shrugged, noncommittally saying, "I suppose so. With someone as strong as Right Sage, the Witch Clan's world is truly a top-tier realm. We were a bit like frogs in a well before."
"Indeed, the so-called cultivation knows no bounds. I have truly experienced that. Even in our world, where we can summon winds and rain at will, we cannot guarantee that there aren't worlds like the Witch Clan's that are so powerful they leave us speechless. Perhaps, in the vast universe, there are even stronger worlds than the Witch Clan's?" Wei Chen said lightly.
Shaohou nodded and replied, "There must be. The universe is infinitely vast; who can claim to be the strongest in the face of such boundlessness? The Endless Divine Realm's Divine Realm can shape humanity with its own blood, but who created the stars in the night sky, the mountains, and the plants? I believe those who created the mountains, stones, plants, sun, moon, and stars are the true gods. Even the top powers on the Witch Clan's world, like Right Saint with his profound strength, cannot create true stars. Perhaps the principle of Stellar Technique—that among all things, the strongest is the stars—holds true even in the Witch Clan's realm?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen smiled bitterly. Stellar Technique?
When he first entered the Witch Clan's world, Wei Chen had attempted to operate Stellar Technique to absorb Stellar Power and Solar Power. However, he soon realized that the pressure in the Witch Clan's realm was too great; even his Stellar Technique could not function properly. There was nothing he could do but wait until he adapted to this world before seeking opportunities to cultivate Stellar Technique.
Stellar Technique was the most powerful cultivation method Wei Chen had practiced; no other method compared to it. No matter what happened, he would not give up on Stellar Technique. The idea of endless cultivation manifested for Wei Chen solely through Stellar Technique; all other methods had their limits.
Wei Chen explained, "Not for now; we'll see later. The pressure in the Witch Clan's realm is too intense; even my Stellar Technique is suppressed."
After wandering around for a while, the three returned to Right Holy Academy.
"Brother Dongfang, if meals are so expensive in the Witch Clan's realm, what do we eat at Right Holy Academy?" It was already dinner time, and Wei Chen could only ask Dongfang Ming.
Dongfang Ming smiled wryly and said, "We don't eat anything unless we become disciples of Right Holy Academy. Each month, we get three chances to eat; otherwise, we just have to endure it. To be honest, since you all arrived, I've been here for over three months and have only had two meals."
For top experts from various worlds, not eating wasn't an issue at all. However, after getting used to enjoying food, suddenly not eating felt quite strange! It would be fine if they were in seclusion for cultivation—then not eating would be acceptable—but when awake and especially during idle moments with nothing to do, it felt unbearable not to have something to eat.
Right Holy Academy wasn't very large; it covered just over two thousand acres. The number of disciples at Right Holy Academy along with permanent faculty was barely under three thousand people. Given the vast area of the Witch Clan's realm and its various powerful beings under its banner, having only this few people able to cultivate at Right Holy Academy posed a significant challenge.
