Chapter 170 Three Heros Fighting an Old Ghost

“And I will tell you truth right now . Under the suppression of the White Tiger Dragon Suppressing Formation, his strength will at least be cut in half .

“That is also a compensation to you from the monastery . As for whether or not you accept it, that will be up to you,” said Tu Fang .

Tu Fang’s words immediately caused shock to ripple through the crowd . He could work with his companions? How was that compensation? That was clearly cheating!

Before Long Chen could even reply, Qi Xin had angrily stood up . “Elder Tu Fang, how can you handle it like this? Previously you said that luck was also an important part of strength .

“Since Long Chen entered that cave, it can only be said that his luck is bad . For you to offer him an easy path is completely unfair . ”

Qi Xin had yet to recover, but he absolutely wouldn’t just stand there as Long Chen got a huge advantage .

Everyone else was also looking at Tu Fang . Qi Xin’s words were completely correct . By doing it like this, Tu Fang truly was favoring Long Chen .

Tu Fang only indifferently replied, “In order for the monastery to develop, it naturally formed some rules that favored the powerful .

“Of course, if you can’t accept that and think it’s unfair, then alright . I can place this devil corpse back into the cave . As long as any of you can manage to stay alive for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I will give you three core disciple positions . ”

Tu Fang’s words caused everyone’s heart to pound . Three core disciple positions? Had they heard wrong?

“Hmph, but let me tell you, this devil corpse’s soul used to be a powerful expert . Only someone with the sect leader’s master-level power was able to subdue him .

“Although he’s sealed within this devil corpse, he hasn’t used up his spiritual energy in over a thousand years and has already recovered to possess a frightening strength .

“Within that cave, even the Bone Forging Elders would all be killed by him . Now is there still anyone who is unconvinced and wants to take that test?” Tu Fang icily swept his gaze over everyone .

He could kill Bone Forging Elders? Everyone turned numb, and involuntarily looked at Long Chen . They could not understand how Long Chen had managed to get out alive .

Let alone them, even the Elders were bewildered . Since this corpse was able to resist the light from the stone pillars and charge out to kill people, that meant its strength had reached a shocking point .

According to common sense, for such a person, killing Long Chen would be pretty much the same difficulty as killing an ant . But when Long Chen had come out, his clothing had still been intact and not even his hair was a mess . That was completely incomprehensible . Had that brutal old monster just been having a nice conversation with him?

The funny thing was, that sarcastic joke was actually the right guess . That old ghost had just been chatting with Long Chen the entire time, wanting to steal away his body to escape the Xuantian Monastery .

Tu Fang’s words immediately caused Qi Xin to shut his mouth . He wasn’t an idiot and knew Elder Tu Fang had already become slightly irritated with him .

Obviously Tu Fang possessed great authority within the Xuantian Monastery . It had been many years since anyone had dared to retort against him . For him to have not angrily scolded Qi Xin to his face was already giving him face .

For a moment, the entire crowd was completely silent as everyone stared at Long Chen . They were watching to see how he would reply .

Long Chen looked at Tu Fang . “How weak has this old ghost’s combat ability dropped to?”

“He needs to use his Spiritual Strength to control the black mist, and he’s also being restricted by the White Tiger Dragon Suppressing Formation . His current combat ability should be around thirty percent greater than the Devil corpse that fought against Tang Wan-er . ” Tu Fang examined the devil corpse that was completely suppressed by the formation to the point that it was unable to even move .

Only then did Long Chen relax slightly . Walking to Tang Wan-er, he asked, “Was the one you fought powerful?”

Tang Wan-er nodded, “Extremely powerful . The fact that I could kill him was also thanks to my luck . If we fought again, I wouldn’t necessarily win again . ”

Thinking back to that previous battle, Tang Wan-er s.h.i.+vered in fear . That devil corpse had been too strong, its corpse hard as iron . Her wind blades had been unable to break its body .

But to the corpse, any part of its indestructible body was a lethal weapon . If it had landed a direct blow on her weaker body, she would definitely have been heavily injured, if not dead . And so she had had to fight extremely carefully the entire time .

“Long Chen, this danger should be worth it . With me and Wan-er helping you, we should have a large chance of success . ” Ye Zhiqiu had also walked up now .

Although they had both already fought previously, after two hours of recovery and with the a.s.sistance of medicinal pills, that had at least recovered to eighty percent .

Long Chen was moved . According to Tu Fang’s explanation, it was definitely possible to win this battle, but he knew that it would be extremely difficult and risky .

“Before the battle, let me give you a warning . Opportunities are always combined with risk . There are no free lunches in this world .

“If you succeed, Long Chen will obtain a core disciple medal, receiving a core disciple’s treatment .

“But if you lose, those two core disciple positions you two have obtained will become invalid . So think about it carefully,” Tu Fang warned .

Long Chen raged, “Can you not explain the rules all in one go? Are you trying to mess with us?!”

Why are there so many ridiculous rules?! Aren’t they just playing around with us?! During despair you give a bit of hope, during hope you give me some more despair! Long Chen raged inside .

As for the other Elders, they were stupefied . It seemed it had been many years since anyone had dared shout at the Enforcement Elder like this!
