Nie Lie got near the Strength mission, hepunched the machine, he recieved the reading. 100 not one less or more. He again tries and again the machine shows 100. And his third punch also 100 .

Examiner was feeling that something is of. How can all his punches were exactly 100 without any change. Then Du Zhe Realised and said " Nie Lie must have more strength than 100 but he is controlling the Strength exactly to 100. How much control he must have over his strength to reach such a result. "

Lu Piao " So that's how it is. He wants to stop exactly in passing line so that Shen Xiu will be mad. " Ye Sheng also saw Nie Lie with Interest. Nie Lie checks his Soul Force and it also shows exactly 100. 1 Star Bronze Rank. This made things even worse for Shen Xiu " Thinking how just 1 point if he is less. She would have won her bet. "She felt Mad and Helpless about it, Immediately leaving the Area

And then Nie Long went for the test.

Instructor asked Nie Long to punch the machine. His group also wants to know his current strength. Nie Long went and punched the machine.With a loud" BOOM " The machine got blasted away. Nie Long used his Armament Haki in that punch. There is not a scrap remained in the area .

Every person in the Exam area were swallowing Saliva to their throats. Shen Yue again Pissed himself and ran away from the area. Shen Fei who watched Nie Long from afar is sweating continuously. Then everyone started to form an uproar.

Even Lu Piao and Du Zhe saw Nie Long as if I he is some monster. Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er saw me and thought ' So this is Nie Lie' brother strength. So strong. ' Holy Orchid Institute directly let him join Genius Class without asking him to test Soul Force.

Along with Nie Lie and others Nie Long left, The whole arena showed reverence in their eyes when they see Nie Long. Nie Long was asked to meet Vice Principal. Nie Long left with the Institute Teacher to meet the Vice Principal. He saw everyone leaving and packing things to go home. And Soon he reached Vice Principal's Office.

In Vice Principal Office, Nie Long saw Vice Principal Ye Sheng sitting in the main seat and another person sitting in front of Vice Principal Ye Sheng. Nie Long can feel the presence of that person is strong unlike any other he have found. So he know it must be Black Gold rank fighter since he is stronger than the Snow wind Ape that he fought before.

He gazed at Nie Long, inspecting him and to his surprise Nie Long did not even flinch and even made eye to eye contact with him without any fear. The battle of nerves continued for 30 seconds and eventually he laughed and appreciated Nie Long

Vice Principal Ye Sheng " This is Sir Gong Liang one of the best Demon Spiritualist in Black Gold rank and trusted aid of Lord Ye Zong. " he introduced to Nie Long and then he introduced Nie Long to him " Sir Gong Liang this is Nie Long, who showed monstrous strength in the Final Exams of the Institute "

Gong Liang " Boy you are too strong for your age, the greatest talent that I have ever seen in this life of mine , 'Gong Liang '. I don't want you to become overconfident due to your powers and conceited and loose your life. Continue to strive harder to reach the same or above the level of Lord Ye Mo " He said to Nie Long.

Ye Sheng was overwhelmed by the praise that Gong Liang has to offer and soon calmed down thinking of Nie Long's talent. Gong Liang continued " As for my reason to see you. I invite you to stay in the City Lord mansion and Cultivate and become stronger so that you could protect Glory City. In exchange, City Lord will take care of your family and the position of your family raises along with your strength. "

Nie Long stayed Silent and thought over and said " Can I see the City lord and make a request? " Both Ye Sheng & Gong Liang didn't expect this answer but still they agreed to his request. So Nie Long was taken along with Sir Gong Liang to meet the City Lord. When Nie Long went to Coty Lord Palace. It was majestic like old china based architectural Building, each and every courtyard comprises of its own beauty.

Nie Long got mesmerised, he watched the scenery which he have not seen in both this life and that life. Soon both reached the center of the palace where a huge architectural Building was present and soon they entered a room. Nie Long saw a person starring outside the window of the room which shows the view of Ye Ziyuns courtyard. When Nie Long saw him . His image felt like a pillar that supports the very foundation of the city.

Nie Long saw a man who has bearing much weight in his shoulder, but still showing the grand demeanour. Just by looking at him we can feel that our respect for this man is growing inside us. He is City Lord Ye Zong a 5 Star Demon Spiritualist. and son of the Glory City's only Legend Rank Spiritualist.

Nie Long POV

City Lord Ye Zong turned around and starred at me trying to learn as much as possible and slowly started to release his pressure of Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualist at me. I feel heavy pressure unlike anything else. This pressure though not having any killing intent, it weighed like a mountain on my shoulder.

Although I admire City Lord it is only admiration and it cannot be mistaken by anyone that it is subservient. I have the conquerors haki, The colour of the supreme king. For me I will not place anyone above me even the heavens and how could I let a mere City Lord of a City to pressure me and fall in my knees. NO NEVER.

My will Started manifesting outside and my Conqueror haki Clashed with the Aura of the City Lord and soon it formed fissures in the space around us lightning Started rumble around us. The Surrounding walls were cracked by our confrontation.

Although my Soul Force is less than that of Ye Zong but my will is tempered by Zangetsu who is embodiment of killing Intent itself ( just to represent powerful Killing Intent ). So my Haki did not backed down when confronting his Aura. Almost all the Black Gold Ranked fighters from the Palace gathered outside the room and seeing the ruckus we have created both City Lord withdraw our Haki and Aura.

Gong Liang came in enquiring if anything wrong but the City Lord just shrugged it of dismissed all the fighters to continue their work. Unlike in the story he feels lot more composed and rational. May be it is due to his daughter he always loose his cool before Nie Lie.

Ye Zong " Kid so for other than my father, you are the only one withstood my Aura. But what surprises me was you have withstood my Aura with the help of your willpower but not Aura. I, Ye Zong admire you kid, As you are the greatest talent I have ever seen in Glory City "

" Are you also disciple of that great personal your brother spoke of " I just stared at City Lord without showing any changes in my face but I was surprised that I forgot that Nie Lie has created a imaginary master. I just said " Yes, It is just that he taught me Cultivation Techniques but not Alchemy as I don't have that much of a aptitude like my brother. " I didn't felt anything eventhough lying through teeth and did not got any consent from Nie Lie for using that imaginary master.

Ye Zong nodded and put all the reason for my strength is the imaginary master. And I asked " I request City Lord for permission to do research in City Lord Manor. " He was intrigued by my request and allowed to speak. Nie Long " I have invented a new type of energy other than the spiritual energy and I am trying to use that energy to create more innovations to develop the living style of Non Cultivators ".

This made City Lord intrigued and told me to submit a detailed report to him. This marked the start of Modernization initiative of Glory City.
