“What was that?” Before Chen Feng could reply, the other mid-level Human Immortal grew enraged. Flames surged out from his whole body. It was as though the G.o.d of Fire had descended.

Oh, he is born with a fire-type const.i.tution. This const.i.tution is one notch better compared to Jian Xiaotian's Absolute Combat Const.i.tution. It is comparable to Bi Shuidie's Cool Jade Const.i.tution. However, this fellow clearly possesses a short temper. He is so quick to jump up after hearing that fellow's words.

“Immortal Golden Soul, you are a high-level Human Immortal while I am a mid-level Human Immortal. Come! Let's exchange a few moves. The loser must kowtow to the winner. What do you think? Do you have the b.a.l.l.s to do it? If you don't dare, then you're a worthless a.s.s!” The cultivator with the fire-type const.i.tution was known as Marquis Scarletfire. He had the appearance of a young man, with a somewhat reddish hair. However, his words were very imperious and most unpleasant to the ears.

“Then, I will be beating you until you are on your knees, begging for mercy.” Even those with a good temper would find it hard to endure those words. Thus, Immortal Golden Soul stood up as well and golden light shone from his body. It would appear that the two of them were already on the verge of fighting one another.

“Insolence! Sit down! Where do you two think you are?” Elder s.h.i.+ shouted, his face turning grim.

“Humph!”

Seeing Elder s.h.i.+'s display of fury, the two of them instantly quieted down. Marquis Scarletfire retracted the flames on his body and turned to Chen Feng before saying in a dissatisfied tone, “I say, brother. If you do not want to partic.i.p.ate in this task, then just hurry up and quit. Otherwise, some people would continue talking c.o.c.k.”

Marquis Scarletfire's words were very brusque and Chen Feng nearly laughed out loud upon hearing it.

“Yes, everyone here is an expert. On the contrary, my cultivation base is too low. I'd be best for me to not partic.i.p.ate.”

“Fellow elders, if that's all, I will take my leave first.” After saying that, Chen Feng stood up and made to leave the Task Hall.

“Wait!” Suddenly, another elder, also a peak-level Human Immortal, spoke up. He cast a dark look at Chen Feng.

“This task is very important. When we gathered all of you here, we had hoped that you all would partic.i.p.ate. If you refuse to partic.i.p.ate, we will indeed not force the issue. However, in order to avoid leaking this matter out, you must stay at a place that we have arranged for a while. After the cultivators headed to the Lightning Pond return, we will let you out. Chen Feng, what do you think?”

“Ha ha ha! In other words, you just want to imprison me! I wonder, what mistake did I commit? Or, are you elders scheming something here? Do you want to imprison me because there some secrets that you fellows cannot reveal?

“At the very least, that is how this whole thing appears to me,” Chen Feng said, a derisive smile on his face.

“Immortal Sunfall, what are you up to?” Elder s.h.i.+'s face sank and he sent a secret vocal transmission to Immortal Sunfall. He did not understand why Immortal Sunfall was displaying such hostility towards Chen Feng.

“Elder s.h.i.+, do not question me about this. I know what I am doing.”

“How about it, Chen Feng? Will you partic.i.p.ate in this task or not?” Immortal Sunfall asked again.

“I'll partic.i.p.ate.” Chen Feng revealed a faint smile.

“Well then. Since everyone agrees to partic.i.p.ate, I will talk more about the details of this task,” Elder s.h.i.+ said, giving Chen Feng a deep stare.

“Truth be told, this task is very simple. All you need to do is to enter the Lightning Pond and obtain Gla.s.sy Lightning Flowers and Lightning Beads. After obtaining those two items, you may choose to use them yourselves or sell them to the academy. Naturally, regardless of what you do with them, you will be greatly rewarded for successfully obtaining them,” Elder s.h.i.+ said with a serious tone.

“Gla.s.sy Lightning Flower! To think that it would be that item!” Everyone there grew shocked. Clearly, they did not think that this item would appear in the Lightning Pond.

“What do we do if we encounter the cultivators from the other academies?” someone asked.

“That's simpler. Just do what you normally do.”

“When do we head out?”

“In one month.”

“We have some time to prepare.”

Before everyone left, however, Immortal Sunfall spoke up again.

“One last thing. Since everyone has agreed to it, do not go back on your words. Also, you must do well to prepare yourself during this coming month. This task is very dangerous. In the past, even Earthen Immortals had fallen inside the Lightning Pond.”

“Brother Chen, please wait.” Just as Chen Feng was about to leave for his grotto-mansion, he received a secret vocal transmission from Marquis Scarletfire.

“Brother Scarletfire, what is it?” Chen Feng secretly replied.

“Nothing in particular. However, I have long since heard of Brother Chen's name. I want to invite Brother Chen to my grotto-mansion and have a chat with you,” Marquis Scarletfire replied smilingly.

“In that case, I will not say no,” Chen Feng agreed to it with a smile on his face.

Next up, Chen Feng headed to Marquis Scarletfire's grotto-mansion.

Marquis Scarletfire's grotto-mansion was at a better location compared to Chen Feng's grotto-mansion. As Chen Feng was only a new student, the surrounding terrain and concentration of spiritual energy of his grotto-mansion were simply incomparable to that of Marquis Scarletfire's grotto-mansion.

“This place is not bad.” Chen Feng casually regarded the place.

“Given your level of strength, your place is probably even better than mine,” Marquis Scarletfire said with a meaningful look on his face.
