Chapter 190 – Ghost Mountain City! Ye Sheng!

“No way… can anyone tell me who he is?!” The second-generation heir’s eyes lit up as he scanned the room.

Unfortunately, everyone around him shook their heads, clearly unfamiliar with the white-robed youth on the screen.

“No one knows him?” The second-generation heir stroked his chin. “Could he be a reinforcement that Shangguan Jianyun and the others brought in from somewhere?!”

At that moment, in the City Lord’s mansion conference room.

All the upper echelon dignitaries, including Lan Tingxu, stood up, their expressions solemn as they watched the scene unfold.

This sudden turn of events had clearly taken even them by surprise! Someone had actually stepped in, intercepted the attack of a Class 4 powerhouse from Wind and Thunder City, and saved everyone in Ghost Mountain City?

“Who is he?!” Xu Chang demanded in a low voice, his gaze sharp as a hawk’s as he looked around the room, suspecting that someone had been hiding their trump card.

To block the assault of a Class 4 powerhouse with a single finger, he must also be a Class 4 powerhouse himself.

Most importantly, the white-robed youth had arrived alongside his grandson Xu Xingchen, Shangguan Jianyun… and a group of high-tier Super-Limit individuals. They must have known each other.

“Did Jianyun and the others bring in reinforcements from another city?” Shangguan Wushang’s white eyebrows trembled as he added, “Or… is he actually one of our own from Ghost Mountain City?!”

Lan Tingxu suddenly roared, “Secretary! I told you to find out who this person is earlier—why is there still no news?!” He knew things had taken a serious turn!

Bang!

The conference room door was flung open.

The female secretary had even lost her high heels in her rush. “We found out! We found out… His name is Ye Sheng! He’s… he’s an examinee from our Ghost Mountain City! He comes from a civilian background, the adopted son of a family surnamed Lu…”

In just a short moment, Ye Sheng’s information had been thoroughly investigated by the City Lord’s mansion.

“What?!”

As soon as the female secretary finished speaking, all the upper echelon members in the conference room were stunned!~

Among the tens of thousands of examinees in their Ghost Mountain City, there had actually been such a hidden dragon!

Not a single one of them had known.

“Xingchen must have known about this all along, right?” Xu Chang was dumbfounded, recalling the scene where Xu Xingchen had appeared alongside Ye Sheng.

…

On the battlefield, the energy storm was slowly dissipating.

The tens of thousands of examinees from Ghost Mountain City finally managed to steady themselves, each looking up in awe at the sky, at the figure clad in white robes.

“Who is he?!”

At that one moment, countless examinees from Ghost Mountain City were utterly shocked. Someone had actually stepped in at the last moment to block the fatal blow for them.

“Big brother?!” Among the crowd, one person was completely bewildered!

Lu Ming was utterly dumbstruck, staring in disbelief at the white-robed figure standing tall against the wind high above.

While others might not recognize the white-robed figure, he was all too familiar with him.

The two had grown up together since childhood, sharing meals and attending school side by side.

He had competed with him countless times, trying to prove who was better.

After their Class Change Awakening, Lu Ming felt that they were no longer in the same world, and he had left him far behind.

But now…

Ye Sheng hovered in the air, clad in white robes, having saved everyone in Ghost Mountain City, facing off against an unimaginable Class 4 powerhouse!

“Am I dreaming?” Lu Ming felt dazed, as if he were in a dream. The entire world seemed to have become illusory, too unreal!

Yet no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t wake up.

Equally shocked were Jiang Hao, Han Liang, Zheng Gang… and a group of their classmates.

Their jaws dropped in disbelief as they instantly recognized the white-robed figure in the sky.

Ye Sheng!

Their former high school classmate, an ordinary student so common he couldn’t be more ordinary—compared to them who had undergone their Class Change early, Ye Sheng was practically invisible in the class.

“Holy shit~! Why does this aura look so familiar to me?” Zheng Gang rubbed his eyes, staring intently at Ye Sheng in his white robe.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that this Ye Sheng was the same one he had seen in the Netherworld Ghost Domain. Although their faces were different, their auras were too similar, almost identical.

“No way?!” Zheng Gang was stunned, as if he already knew the answer.

Jiang Hao, Han Liang, and a few others shared the same feeling.

Especially Jiang Hao and Han Liang, who were even more familiar with Ye Sheng’s back—they had fought alongside him countless times in the Shadow City Secret Realm.

That sense of familiarity and security was exactly the same as it was now.

“It’s him! The same person!” Jiang Hao blurted out.

Han Liang widened his eyes, instantly realizing the truth as well.

…

“Who are you?!”

High in the sky, the 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse from Wind-Thunder City frowned, looking at Ye Sheng in his white robe.

“Ghost Mountain City, Ye Sheng!” Ye Sheng smiled brightly, truthfully stating his origins. There was nothing to hide—this was his background.

“Ghost Mountain City?” The 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse from Wind-Thunder City was taken aback, then shook his head. “Impossible! Ghost Mountain City has no 4th Revolution Giant Tier.”

He clearly didn’t believe it!

If Ghost Mountain City had a 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse, why would it be in such a sorry state?!

Not far away, Raymond and several High-Tier Super-Limit individuals looked grim.

They never expected that, at the last moment, Ye Sheng would be brought here by Shangguan Jianyun and the others!

If all the people of Ghost Mountain City found out they had a 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse and that they had refused Ye Sheng’s help, they would likely drown them in spit.

Raymond and the others were right…

At this moment, the tens of thousands of examinees from Ghost Mountain City were stunned upon hearing Ye Sheng introduce himself!

“What?! Our Ghost Mountain City has a 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse?”

“What’s going on?”

The examinees from Ghost Mountain City were completely bewildered!

If they had a 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse, what was the point of all the suffering they had endured?

Xu Xingchen sneered, worried that Raymond might twist the facts, so he amplified his voice with energy and concisely explained the whole story, allowing all the examinees from Ghost Mountain City to understand what had happened.

“Raymond!”

“And… all of you High-Tier Super-Limit individuals!”

Upon hearing this, the examinees from Ghost Mountain City were filled with rage. It turned out it was simply because Ye Sheng came from a common background.

Shangguan Jianyun and Gu Yuexian also looked downcast—they were partly to blame as well, having been involved to some extent back then, though they had pulled back from the brink in time.

Raymond sneered at Ye Sheng. “How strong can a 4th Revolution Giant Tier from a common background really be?”

As he spoke, he turned to the 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse from Wind-Thunder City. “He’s just from a common background. Crush him ruthlessly in Iron Blood Town.”

A 4th Revolution Giant Tier from a common background lacked Resources and naturally couldn’t compare to one from a Great Aristocratic Family.

The 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse from Wind-Thunder City also came from a Great Aristocratic Family.

…

In the teahouse, Ye Sheng’s introduction made everyone aware of his origins.

“What did he say? He… he’s from Ghost Mountain City?!”

“How is that possible?”

“So we actually have a 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse?!”

The middle-aged men were first taken aback, then one by one, their expressions grew inexplicably excited. It turned out their Ghost Mountain City had a 4th Revolution Giant Tier powerhouse in this Federation Grand Examination.

But after hearing Xu Xingchen’s words, they became utterly furious.

An Elder rose with the aid of his cane and said gravely, “Let’s set that aside for now. What matters next is whether he can stand against the 4th-Rank giants of Fenglei City…”

The Elder’s words calmed everyone down one by one. They turned their gazes to the television screen, their eyes filled with worry.

Even among 4th-Rank giants, there were distinctions of strength. If Ye Sheng were defeated, all would come to nothing.
