Chapter 1332

“Long San?”

Long Chen was startled . Someone actually recognized him here? Turning toward the voice, he saw a young man amongst this crowd of close to a thousand disciples . Each one of them had a small table in front of them, like they were scholars about to take a test .

“Sorry, you are…?” Long Chen didn’t recognize him .

“Shut up! Who said you could speak so loudly here?!”

A Jade Core disciple sternly shouted at him . This disciple was already quite old, so his temper wasn’t good .

Long Chen frowned . The Jade Core disciple glared at Long Chen, and Long Chen almost couldn’t help but slap him in the face .

He had an urge to curse this disciple, but he didn’t say anything . Now wasn’t the time to start being arrogant . Silently walking around that disciple, he walked toward the person who knew him .

“Long San, sit . Sorry, I made you get scolded,” apologized that person quietly .

Zhao Xiang just happened to see the sight of Long Chen quietly turn away from the disciple who had scolded him so sternly . Seeing that he didn’t dare to reply, he shook his head .

“This Long San’s character is too timid . It’s not good for us . I’ll have to report it to Protector Zhuo,” thought Zhao Xiang to himself as he left .

Long Chen didn’t recognize this man at all, so he couldn’t help but find it strange .

“Long San, after winning the champions.h.i.+p in the Eastern Wasteland, you probably forgot this little one . ” The disciple bitterly smiled .

“I think I remember . You were in the compet.i.tion too…” said Long Chen, coming to a sudden comprehension .

In truth, this comprehension was just guesswork . He still didn’t recognize this person at all . He put his answer in a questioning tone to avoid things becoming awkward if he was wrong .

“Yes! I’m Li Kang! Do you remember me now?” That person was happy that Long Chen recognized him . He didn’t even know he had just fallen for Long Chen’s trick .

Long Chen had no idea who Li Kang was . Supposedly, he had been in the Eastern Wasteland’s compet.i.tion as well . Li Kang recognized Long Chen, but Long Chen didn’t recognize him .

“Long San, why did it take you so long to come? It’s been many years . ”

“Don’t even mention it . It’s depressing . How have the other people from the Eastern Wasteland been doing here? Did anyone manage to get some strong support?” Long Chen changed the subject .

“Only after coming did we realize that our so-called talent was nothing here . We were just green leaves coming to show off before the flowers of the Central Plains . ” Li Kang bitterly smiled . “The disciples who came from the Eastern Wasteland are mostly outer disciples . They probably won’t get promoted in their lifetimes . As for me, I’m not doing too bad . After three years, I’ve finally managed to get the qualifications for the Divine Pill Hall trial .

“Amongst these people, I rank 987th . In other words, there’s pretty much no hope of me pa.s.sing . But even just taking the test will improve my standing amongst the inner disciples . If I didn’t take the test, the others would look down on me all day . ”

“Really, it’s this bad? What about that female disciple? What’s her name again?” Long Chen thought of a certain person .

“Duan Tianqiao . Her talent is very good, and she managed to get into the Divine Pill Hall . In truth, she helped me out quite a bit to be promoted into an inner disciple . But after getting in the Divine Pill Hall, she has become distant from me . Perhaps our statuses are no longer similar,” sighed Li Kang .

People strove for the top, while water always flowed to the bottom . Those who stood at different heights ran in different circles . This was understandable .

“You two flies, stop buzzing . It’s annoying . If you don’t want to take the test, you can scram . Stop disturbing others . ”

As Long Chen and Li Kang quietly whispered, another disciple to the side who had had his eyes closed suddenly glared at them .

Long Chen looked at him and saw that he was glaring at him disdainfully . It seemed that his ranking amongst inner disciples was very high . Perhaps he had a high chance of getting promoted .

Long Chen cursed . If this was inside the Xuantian Dao Sect, he’d have long since slapped such a person to death .

But he had nothing to say now . It seemed wherever he went, he would encounter countless idiots . Even if he didn’t cause trouble, others would find trouble for him .

“Silence!”

Just at this moment, a cold shout rang out, and eight elders walked in, all Soul Transformation experts .

The eight elders were all wearing stern expressions, as though everyone here owed them money .

These people were in charge of the trial, and they were here to prevent cheating . Their eyes were all as sharp as an eagle’s .

Long Chen shut his mouth and found his position .

“Who is Long San?” asked one of the elders .

“Disciple is present . ” Long Chen hastily stood .

“Show me your badge . I have to check it . ”
