Chapter 163 Guo Ran’s Perseverance

Guo Ran had made his decision . The cave he had selected was also one for an outer disciple .

Standing in front of the cave, Guo Ran first took out a bright set of armor as well as a saber from his spatial ring . They were actually part of a full set .

After putting on the amor, Guo Ran was armed to his teeth . After all these preparations, he walked in without any hesitation . Loud explosions immediately began to ring out .

“This is cheating!” One of Lei Qianshang’s people angrily pointed at him .

“Idiot, didn’t the Elder already make that rule clear? As long as you kill the Devil Cultivator inside and took out its head, you’ll pa.s.s .

“Are your ears just for decoration? Or are you blind? When did the Elder ever say you couldn’t use armor or weapons?

“If you’re an idiot, don’t use your idiot intelligence to critique others . Being critiqued by a fool like you is definitely a disgrace . ” Long Chen rudely snorted .

He also hadn’t kept his voice quiet, so everyone present heard it loud and clear . Tang Wan-er looked at him with admiration . His reasoning was absolutely perfect .

At the same time, everyone cast a grateful glance at him .

Long Chen was giving them a reminder, making the rules clear . Unless you wanted to die, don’t just foolishly walk into the cave without any preparations .

Elder Tu Fang sighed in relief . He looked at Long Chen complicatedly . If only these spoiled disciples had even half Long Chen’s intelligence .

Furthermore, he realized that the monastery’s growth had been held back . They shouldn’t have only looked at talent, but also perseverance and willpower .

The person in the monastery who had the greatest understanding of Long Chen would have to be Tu Fang . Originally even if a spirit stone mine had appeared in such a small place like the Phoenix Cry Empire, it was such a minor matter that he wouldn’t have bothered to go personally .

But after repeatedly finding that every Elder he went to was in seclusion, he had finally just personally gone over . Then he had run into Long Chen .

His goal had originally just been to handle the matter of the spirit stone mine . But that spirit stone mine was small and didn’t have much ore inside .

However, it was still within the range of the monastery . Since getting something was better than nothing, he had gone over to get a portion of the spoils . There he had randomly heard people talking about what had happened in Phoenix Cry .

Someone who was a youth had grown to an absolutely shocking level in less than a year . But when he saw that Long Chen had no Spirit Root, he couldn’t help becoming a bit sad . Without a Spirit Root, no matter how crazily he advanced, there would definitely be a limit .

But then when he had returned, Ling Yun-zi had given him a reminder . He had gone out to investigate Long Chen’s path . He learned all about Long Chen’s bitter childhood and how he had been bullied all the time . That had tempered him, allowing him to forge an indomitable will as well as given him an intelligence that far surpa.s.sed his peers .

Now when he compared these thousands of geniuses to Long Chen, they were so immature it was laughable . That caused Tu Fang to sigh regretfully . Did that mean the monastery’s raising of disciples was lacking something?

Long Chen was like some tenacious weed . Fire might burn his outside, but when the spring came again, he would grow back out . He just didn’t know how far Long Chen would be able to walk relying on only determination .

Would he be able to surpa.s.s these saplings which had been grown inside a greenhouse? Although currently those saplings were still extremely weak, once they were transplanted into the monastery, they would all grow to become enormous trees if they could just survive . But would a tenacious weed be able to do the same?

BOOM!

Repeated explosions came from within the cave as Tu Fang was thinking . People’s hearts were about to rise into their throats . No one knew whether or not it would be a corpse covered in blood that would fly out again .

Although on the outside Long Chen’s expression seemed calm, he was clenching his fists tightly . He knew worrying didn’t have any use, but he couldn’t help it .

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the explosions gradually faded . A figure slowly walked out of the cave . Guo Ran was completely covered in blood and his helmet was gone . And only half of his saber still remained .

His armor was damaged all over . Who knew just how many wounds were over his body . Blood had completely dyed him red . It could be seen how bitter that fight had been .

Within his left hand was a head . That was the head of a middle-aged man . Its expression was sinister, and some terrifying lines covered its face that made it look like an evil spirit .

“Hehe, boss, I succeeded!”

Guo Ran excitedly raised the head as he shouted out .

Long Chen smiled and let out a breath of air . He gave Guo Ran a big thumbs up . This fellow was a real man .

With his strength, he would have less than a fifty percent chance of pa.s.sing the outer disciple trial . He had had a fifty percent chance of death just now! To fight as he had not only had required courage, but also a firm Dao-heart .

As soon as he said that, he immediately fell from the entrance of the cave . In that intense fight, he had only sustained himself with his powerful perseverance . Now that he relaxed, he immediately fainted .

Everyone let out startled cries . Even the lowest cave was still a hundred meters from the ground . And the ground was completely made of hard rocks . He would end up smas.h.i.+ng himself to death!

Long Chen had just been about to run over when an Elder waved his hand . Guo Ran’s body immediately began to float and drift over to Long Chen .
