A couple of days passed, it was now time to take the entrance exam for Tian Shan Sect.

Tian Shan Sect is held once every 10 years. A top sect that attracted cultivators from all over the world. It was also the same sect where Shen Xi Meng met him. The guy that he tried to destroy but utterly failed in his past life.

Shen Xi Meng was currently inside a carriage. He gently lifted the small curtain on his side to look outside.

A lush green forest came into view. Trees situated all around him as the carriage continues to move at a constant pace. After a while, Shen Xi Meng lost interest and closed the small curtain.

"Young master Shen, we're here."

Shen Xi Meng unhurriedly got out of the carriage. In front of him, the small path suddenly spreads out as an open space of more than 5 kilometers, the size of an average stadium could be seen.

A 2 meter big stone statue of that of a spiritual beast lion was situated in the middle sitting upright and tall. Surrounding the statue were participants around the ages of 11-15. There were more than 1000 participants alone.

Walking over, some of the participants looked over at Shen Xi Meng.

"Isn't that the young master of the Shen clan?"

"Yes. He's one of the top participants we need to look out for."

"Tsk tsk. We don't even qualify to fight against him! He's that good."

Although most were whispering, Shen Xi Meng can still hear them. But, he didn't mind and found a spot to sit on that had a lot of space. His attitude was cold and aloof as he meditates while closing his eyes.

"Heh. Who is that beggar over there? Did he lost his way here?"

Even without opening his eyes, Shen Xi Meng already knew what was about to happen and who was involved. He didn't mind as long as it didn't inflict him.

'Stupid kids.' Shen Xi Meng couldn't help but light a candle for them.

Meanwhile...

"Heh. Truly a beggar."

"Hey, kid. Lick my shoe clean and I'll let you be my servant. I'll take 'good care' of you."

"Haha. Rui Shu. You're too kind to make him your servant!"

While they laughed, the one being laughed at glares at them but didn't say anything. He worn ragged light blue clothes and his cheek was a little bit dirty with dust. However, his eyes were clear and pure, without the slightest contamination in there.

The one called Rui Shu frown when he saw that the "beggar" was glaring at them. "Bastard, who do you think you are looking at me like that!"

Rui Shu immediately sends out a punch. He sneered inside, 'This kid seems weak. A punch is enough!'

But, just as his punch was about to reach the other's nose, the other easily grabbed onto Rui Shu's wrist. With a twist, the kid with the ragged clothes pinned down Rui Shu to the ground while still holding onto Rui Shu's wrist.

"Ahh!" Rui Shu screamed in agony.

The other 3 people that were laughing at the kid a moment ago suddenly stopped laughing.

One of three shouted out "Bastard!" as he gathered a ball of lightning in the middle of his palm. Just as he was about to shoot it at the kid with the ragged clothes, the kid stood up straight. However, in a flash, the kid suddenly disappeared!

"What?!"

The next thing he saw was the kid already by his side and then the kid grabbed onto his hand and threw him to the ground! The ball of lightning on his palm smashed the ground and created a little crater as his clothes and hair were disheveled. Him being in a sorry state.

The remaining two bullies took a few steps back. They were a little bit fearful after seeing what had happened.

The kid in ragged clothes ignored them and walked to a place where there were fewer people. Coincidentally, it was the spot where Shen Xi Meng was at.

Shen Xi Meng frowned when he could feel with his perception that somebody was walking closer to where he was at and even sat right next to him! Ah?! This never happened in his past life!

Shen Xi Meng opened his eyes and took a glance at the person right next to him. When he saw the kid with ragged clothes, Shen Xi Meng's heart started to beat crazily.

F*ck! Why is it him of all people?!

'Relax Shen Xi Meng. He's still just a kid now. He can't do anything to you! Relax! Besides, I haven't done anything to provoke him yet!' Shen Xi Meng tried to calm himself down by creating all sorts of reasonings.

Shen Xi Meng coldly looks at the kid for a few seconds before retracting his gaze and closing his eyes to meditate again. Shen Xi Meng's plan was to...

Ignore him!

Oh? Did he ignore me?

The kid in ragged clothes looks at Shen Xi Meng with surprise. This shouldn't have been the case right?

"Hey. Are Shen Xi Meng friends with that nobody?"

"How could that be? Shen Xi Meng is said to be cold and that nobody could get close to him."

"But that little kid could sit right next to Shen Xi Meng...What is the meaning of this?"

"Although he may be wearing ragged clothes, just the fact that he was able to sit right next to Shen Xi Meng meant that he's an extraordinary person. We shouldn't provoke him."

"You're right. It's best if we stay on the good side of Shen Xi Meng. Provoking those around Shen Xi Meng is the same as provoking Shen Xi Meng himself!"

Shen Xi Meng frowned but he could do nothing. The one he wants to least provoke in his entire life is the person right next to him! Provoking such a person with the protagonist's halo would be the same as courting death! All Shen Xi Meng wants to do now is cry a waterfall made of tears.
