"Next group, core disciples..."
The inspector paused mid-sentence.
He hesitated, then decided to finish.
"The wives of the core disciples..."
A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd.
Especially the outer and inner disciples, who were unaware of the truth.
They had assumed all those beautiful women were simply accompanying Fang Xian, but it turned out they were all his wives.
They all stared at Fang Xian, then at the 21 stunning beauties behind him, speechless with shock.
Tsunade gave a meaningful look but said nothing.
Lu Qiling scoffed, "Scumbag."
Fang Xian ignored Lu Qiling and stepped forward, offering a slight bow.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, I have recently married two wives and wish to bring them to live with me."
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned even more deeply.
Twenty-two stunning beauties weren't enough; now two more were waiting outside.
Seeing Wu Lingtian's brows furrow slightly, Fang Xian calmly continued:
"My two wives are only 22 years old, already level 260, and hope to join the Dragon Alliance."
The Dragon Alliance official, who had originally intended to say something, swallowed his words.
At 22 years old and level 260, in the Great Thousand World without the help of a family or guild, reaching level 260 was already quite impressive.
Now that the Dragon Alliance was weakening, they naturally wouldn't refuse the addition of fresh blood.
Wu Lingtian nodded, signaling to bring them in.
Soon, Tifa and Asuna arrived at the main hall.
Everyone admired their looks and figures; Fang Xian was certainly eating well.
Wu Lingtian went through the motions, briefly inquiring about Tifa and Asuna's backgrounds, before having them take a level test.
Tifa, tall and graceful, walked lightly to the testing device and gently placed her small, white hand on the light screen.
The device displayed:
—260.
The examiner nodded and announced loudly:
"Tifa, 22 years old, level 260."
Level 260 at 22 years old was enough to make many outer disciples envious.
As for the inner disciples, they sighed repeatedly.
Others were level 260 at 22, while they were in their forties or fifties.
Although they knew they shouldn't compare themselves like that, they still felt a sense of disparity.
Tifa gave a faint smile, turned, and walked down from the side hall, bumping fists with Asuna who came forward.
"Good luck."
"Yeah."
Actually, what others didn't know was that their levels had already reached 328, but they had concealed and modified their true levels using the "Concealment Cloth" and the "Hidden Bracelet."
Then, through that fist bump, a discreet transaction, everyone could display a slightly lower level.
Asuna walked to the device and slowly touched the light screen.
"Asuna, 22 years old, level 260."
Wu Lingtian and the others nodded slightly; indeed, as Fang Xian said, they were all 22-year-old level 260 Awakened.
Asuna smiled warmly and took Zheng En'ai's small hand.
"Aunt En'ai, it's your turn."
"Mm."
Zheng En'ai, with a gentle smile on her pretty face, walked gracefully to the side hall.
"Zheng En'ai, 34 years old, level 150."
Everyone was astonished upon hearing this.
No one had expected Zheng En'ai to level up 50 levels in just 10 days, even faster than Tsunade.
Wu Lingtian, Lü Wushuang, Xiang Tianyu, and Zhao Yunlong frowned slightly. For a "Life Master" to level up so quickly, it was obvious that Fang Xian had been training her.
But Fang Xian had only been in the Great Thousand World for five days, how could he have leveled up so fast?
Tsunade and Lü Lingqi stared intently at Fang Xian and the others, a sense of urgency unconsciously rising within them.
If Tifa, Asuna, and Zheng En'ai were merely human and still shocked, what followed completely overturned their understanding.
"Ning Rong'er, 20 years old, Level 150."
"Mu Yunzhi, 48 years old, Level 150."
"Yukino, 22 years old, Level 150."
"Lin Mengqian, 20 years old, Level 150."
"Li Xiaoyu, 20 years old, Level 150."
"Liu Shishuang, 32 years old, Level 150."
"Tang Xiaowu, 28 years old, Level 150."
"Mu Wanyao, 30 years old, Level 150."
"Chen Tingxuan, 22 years old, Level 150."
"Ran Qing, 29 years old, Level 150."
"Takahashi Mitsuko, 25 years old, Level 150."
"Tsukino Usagi, 20 years old, Level 150."
"Shen Huimei, 20 years old, Level 150."
"Bukushima Saeko, 20 years old, Level 150."
"Nami, 20 years old, Level 150."
"Zhao Meijing, 35 years old, Level 150."
"Qinglong, 28 years old, Level 150."
"Suzaku, 28 years old, Level 150."
"Joel, 27 years old, Level 150."
"Tatsumaki, 26 years old, Level 150."
"Fubuki, 23 years old, Level 150."
Their levels were all changed to 150. Qing long and Suzaku's ages were also altered to avoid revealing their supposedly thousand-year-old ages.
Only the examiner's hoarse voice broadcasted the announcements throughout the hall; the more he announced, the more excited he became.
The outer and inner disciples were completely dumbfounded, their minds blank, their bodies numb.
Tsunade's brows furrowed, staring at them in disbelief, a sense of powerlessness washing over her.
Lü Lingqi bit her lower lip, her whole body trembling slightly with anger.
She had always been recognized as a peerless genius possessing both beauty and strength. Now, with so many stunningly beautiful women at level 150 in their early twenties appearing, how could she not be furious?
Especially since they came from Blue Star, where cultivation was far more difficult. Compared to them, what kind of genius was she?
Maintaining her dignified and composed demeanor, Wu Lingtian gripped the armrests of her phoenix chair tightly, her heart churning with turmoil.
So many level 150 awakened individuals in their early twenties—not only were there none in Asian City, but even across the entire Blue Star region, no other guild possessed so many young prodigies.
The Dragon Alliance, currently on the verge of collapse, desperately needed them; it was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
In this way, they would play a decisive role in whether the Dragon Alliance could regain its former glory.
Wu Lingtian's beautiful eyes turned to Fang Xian; she couldn't help but anticipate what level Fang Xian, as the husband of all these women, would be.
Fang Xian smiled slightly as he met Wu Lingtian's burning gaze.
He slowly stepped forward and headed straight for the side hall.
Along the way, Lü Wushuang, Xiang Tianyu, Zhao Yunlong, Tsunade, and Lü Lingqi all kept their eyes glued to Fang Xian.
They all wanted to know if Fang Xian would bring them any unexpected surprises.
Fang Xian walked to the testing equipment and slowly extended his slender, white hand, placing it in the light screen.
The light screen emitted a beam of light, slowly displaying a three-digit number.
That three-digit number was…
