Chapter 161 First Mention of Devil Demons

“My dream is to become one - big - scoundrel . ”

Hearing Long Chen’s words, Tang Wan-er couldn’t even believe her own ears . But then she immediately realized Long Chen was just acting wacky again .

She laughed, “Then congratulations, you’ve already achieved your dream! You are definitely already a one hundred percent scoundrel . ”

Her eyes sparkled and rippled as she laughed, her pretty smile lighting up her face like a blossom in bloom .

Long Chen paused . Tang Wan-er truly esd beautiful, not at all inferior to Chu Yao .

He shook his head, “It’s not as simple as you think . I want to become a remolded and completely upgraded scoundrel with dreams, accomplishments, integrity, and meaning . Although that goal is distant, I know that if I work hard and put in all my effort, I will definitely achieve it one day . ” Long Chen looked up into the sky with yearning .

Tang Wan-er continuously shook as she tried to hold back laughter . She rapped him, scolding, “Don’t tease me and make me laugh!”

There were far too many people here . Although the two of them were being quiet and low-key, there were still many people watching them . So Tang Wan-er cuold only hold back her laughter as best as she could . But then Long Chen kept teasing her with that completely serious face; probably no one could resist laughing .

“I’m not teasing you! I’m telling the truth . You just can’t understand . I guess you’re still too immature,” lamented Long Chen, acting as if it were lonely standing at the top .

“Tch, what are you acting so grand for? When were you born? I bet I’m bigger . ”

Long Chen looked up and down Tang Wan-er’s body and said, “Well that depends on what we’re comparing . ”[1]

Tang Wan-er immediately blushed, angrily glaring at him . “Scoundrel, are you asking for a beating? How can you say such crude things?”

Long Chen sighed happily inside . The monastery would definitely be much more fun than he had expected . With a beauty he could tease everyday, the time would definitely pa.s.s much quicker .

The only thing that continued to constantly nag him despite his attempts to push those thoughts away was Chu Yao . Had she required to pa.s.s a trial to join the Skywood Palace? Once the situation had stabilized here, he had to quickly go take a look . In his mind, Chu Yao was too naive and sincere . He was afraid she would be wronged in the Skywood Palace .

Just as Long Chen was lost in thought, a disturbance suddenly spread through the crowd . Long Chen raised his head to see that over ten Elders had walked to the front of the stone wall .

Those Elders were all wearing gray robes with old, stiff expressions . The bright light that roved within their eyes released a pressure so that others wouldn’t dare look directly at them .

Their auras were absolutely enormous . Although they hadn’t released their auras, but just that reserved feeling gave them the feeling that they were volcanos . Once they erupted, they could destroy the land .

“It’s rumored that every single one of the Elders in the monastery are Bone Forging experts,” Tang Wan-er quietly whispered to Long Chen .

Long Chen nodded . No wonder they looked so powerful . The experts of a sect were completely different existences from the experts of the secular world . The two were incomparable .

Those seniors only indifferently swept their gaze over everyone without saying a word . In front of the stone wall was an immense set of stairs thirty meters high . They all jumped up, sitting down cross-legged on those stone steps and closing their eyes .

Long Chen was curiously wondering what they were doing when someone descended from the sky, landing on the top of the stone steps .

Long Chen immediately recognized that person . That was Elder Tu Fang who had given him his registration card .

When Elder Tu Fang arrived, those seniors all stood up and bowed to him . Tu Fan also returned a bow, and those people once more sat back down . During this entire process, not one person said a single word .

The entire crowd was completely silent . The atmosphere was so heavy that it was hard to breath . Tu Fang’s arrival indicated that the final trial was about to begin .

“Those who haven’t collected the full tablet must retreat three hundred meters . ”

Tu Fang’s voice was like a loud bell, his voice filled with dignity and majesty . It echoed against the stone wall .

Of the huge crowd that had gathered here, a huge portion immediately withdrew, leaving just over three thousand people .

Long Chen was astonished . Wasn’t this ‘only’ a seventy-five percent wash-out rate? How were there so few people left?

If one in four had managed to pa.s.s, then of the thirty thousand people at the beginning, at least seven thousand should have gathered the tablet .

But Long Chen immediately thought of the problem . If people lost or damaged their tiles, or perhaps ended up dying to Magical Beasts, then that meant a set had been destroyed .

And perhaps it was also like senior apprentice-brother Wan had said at the beginning: some people who knew they wouldn’t pa.s.s would just directly destroy their own tile . If they couldn’t pa.s.s, they would at least drag down three others

Those reasons could explain why there were so few people . Of thirty thousand people, only three thousand remained . That elimination rate was absolutely shocking .

Tu Fang nodded as he looked over these remaining people .

“I will be in charge of this last trial . You can all see that there are over nine thousand caves behind me . That place is the location of your final trial . ”
