Bribery

Chen Feng cast a few glances around and pondered for a moment, then his eyes brimmed with confidence once more. If someone named Ye Fan could pass the selection, why couldn't he? It seemed his opportunity lay here...

Despite the incongruity with the envoy from the Demon Realm, there was no need to force it; he would let things unfold naturally.

Before long, Chen Feng entered the column of light once again. This time, he deliberately removed the mysterious ring left by his parents and hid it, to avoid any issues during the ritual's detection.

Chen Feng believed in his own abilities. Whether in innate talent, bloodline, or the enlightenment of his soul and character...

He had come this far through hardships; there was no way he could be lacking! Within the column of light, Chen Feng felt waves of pressure, and beads of sweat forming on his forehead. But he didn't give up.
