Right now, the entire Li Fire sect was incomparably excited!

All of the disciples in the plaza of the nine paG.o.das had fiery looks on their faces!

After all, in this world where experts were respected, one had to have self-respect. Whoever was stronger would be in charge.

In the entire Beilageluoya Empire, and even in the easternmost region, the existence of the Master of the Ultimate Sword, Lin Lei, could be said to be on the level of a ceiling.

A peak tier 9 sage, a terrifying existence who could kill a half-step great sage. Who wouldn't be convinced?

Seeing the incomparably excited expressions of the disciples below the stage, the nearby Roderick was speechless.

Dammit. Just now, when I was speaking on stage, all of you seemed to be on the verge of starving to death, as though our Li Fire sect didn't feed you enough.

But Lin Lei, facing the excited cheers from below the stage, didn't feel anything at all.

As the saying goes, an ancient well doesn't ripple. This must be what it means to be at this level.

“Silence.”

“All of you are so loud and noisy. How embarra.s.sing!”

Roderick let out a cold snort, and a cold aura enveloped the entire Li Fire sect.

Sensing the powerful aura of Roderick's Grand Magus level, all of the disciples were able to control their excitement.

“Amy, Roderick, you two come up.”

Roderick said to the two people at the front of the nine towers square.

The two people who were called Amy and Roderick were wearing gorgeous gowns and accessories. They were obviously young masters from big families.

At this moment, a hint of arrogance flashed in their eyes.

Roderick took a few deep breaths and walked up to the stage. He was so happy that he was about to cry.

“Oh my G.o.d, are they from a big family? Their talent, their strength, and even their chance are all theirs.”

“Yeah, we commoners don't get such a chance.”

“Keep your voices down. Amy and Roze are not good people. They are known for being narrow-minded. If they hear that and hate you, I'm afraid you will suffer.”

“Yeah, if Amy and Roze can really become the Master of the Ultimate Sword, then they will be the ones above us ordinary people.”

“Humph, these two guys have bad characters. Look at how they bullied that little girl, Ella. The Master of the Ultimate Sword will never take a fancy to them.”

The crowd was very noisy, and many people were talking.

But at the end of the nine towers square, a girl wearing old clothes had a gloomy look on her face.

Her clothes were extremely tattered and didn't fit her at all. With one look, it was obvious that they didn't belong to her. They belonged to other people, so don't throw them away. They were meant for her to wear.

The young girl's name was Ella. Because she didn't have the ability to practice magic, she was called trash by her family.

“Little trash, didn't Lord Roze say before that he wanted you to become his pet? Why aren't you willing? Now, he's about to be taken in as a disciple by the Master of Ultimate Sword. Are you angry? Don't you regret it later?”

“Since when can trash who doesn't have talent in magic be taken in by the Li Fire Sect?”

“How funny. He's just a trash who doesn't have talent in magic, yet he wants to meddle in our affairs. He's really a toad trying to eat swan meat!”

The surrounding people kept cursing at Ella.

Ella pursed her lips tightly. She only dared to look at the ground with her big eyes, because she was afraid that her entire body was trembling.

As the only existence in the family who was unable to practice magic, she was an abandoned child that was not recognized.

Being unable to practice magic had always been an indelible scar in Ella's heart.

The words of the people around her were like knives thrown in Ella's direction.

Beside Ella, there was also a girl who was about the same age as Ella.

She was dressed differently from Ella. She was dressed in the most gorgeous clothes and exuded a n.o.ble aura.

At this moment, the gorgeous girl looked at Ella and could not help but cover her mouth and smile.

“How interesting. You can't talk about my sister.”

“Who said that if you don't have the talent to practice magic, you can't come to the Li Fire sect to become a disciple?”

“Who knows, the Master of the Ultimate Sword will really choose us, this little trash, didn't he?”

“Even if he doesn't choose us, you don't have to worry about my little sister. Who knows, the Li Fire sect still needs some cleaning, laundry, and cooking ch.o.r.es. Aren't you just right for it?”

The gorgeous woman was Ella's half-sister. Both of them lived in the nearest city of the Li Fire sect, which was not a small family.

Originally, Ella was the legitimate bloodline in the family. However, Ella's mother died young due to childbirth.

After that, Ella's father remarried and had a new wife.

Ella did not have the talent to cultivate magic. Her authority in the family was already weak. Now that she had welcomed her stepmother, her presence in the family was even weaker.

Even Ella's maid and Butler were hurtful towards her.

After all, as long as they bullied Ella, they would be able to gain the favor of Ella's sister. Who wouldn't be willing to get in on such a beneficial and harmless plot.

At this moment, looking at the clothes on the two of them, one could see the difference in their status in the family.

Ella's sister was wearing a cute Lolita outfit, and her fluffy pleated dress was gently swaying in the wind.

On the other hand, Ella's mother had left this outfit for Ella. In comparison, Ella looked extremely pitiful.

“Sigh, why are you so disobedient, my good sister?”

“If you continue to stay here, aren't you asking for humiliation?”

“Hurry up and go back. If you continue to stay here, I'm afraid that our family's reputation will be completely ruined.”

Ella's older sister, fan in hand, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Ella, on the other hand, had an extremely cowardly personality. At this moment, she didn't dare to speak at all. All she could do was lower her head and accept the scolding.

At this moment, on the dais.

Amy and Roze had already walked onto the dais.

To the side, Roderick was quietly introducing the background and power of Amy and Roze to Lin Lei.

“Lin Lei, Amy and Roze are both members of first-rate clans. In addition, their talent is top-notch amongst the disciples of our Li Fire sect.”

“Look at Amy. She's only eighteen years old, but she's already a Magus of the first rank. Roze, on the other hand, is naturally very sensitive to mageforce. At such a young age, he's already reached the first threshold of being able to become familiar with mageforce.”

Lin Lei's face was completely expressionless. After Roze finished his introduction, he nodded,
