Chapter 1773: Something Terrible Has Happened

“Long Chen!”

“It really is Long Chen! How were we blind before?”

“He is standing right there amongst us, and no one noticed . ”

Ye Lingshan’s words immediately caused the experts present to erupt into shouting . They hadn’t even noticed Long Chen’s existence .

This resulted in Long Chen’s illusory art being completely useless . All the experts stared at him in shock . Right now, Long Chen was the man of the moment in the Martial Heaven Continent . Although he was wracked with controversy, his fame was so great that his name was deeply imprinted in everyone’s minds .

With his ident.i.ty revealed by Ye Lingshan, Long Chen directly dispelled his illusory art . He shrugged, shaking his head . “I’m not the slightest bit interested in this toy . It’s already broken, so why bother? Unless your brain is broken . ”

“You… why would you curse me?” Ye Lingshan frowned angrily .

Long Chen hastily flapped his hand . “No, that’s not what I meant . That Venerate Platform is truly broken, with most of its abilities already lost . In truth, you… ah, I shouldn’t say it . ”

“Saying half and then stopping while people are confused isn’t a good manner,” said Ye Lingshan coldly .

“If I told you, it would make you feel worse . We’re not friends, so I’m worried that you’ll beat me once I tell you . I don’t feel like it . ” Long Chen shook his head .

“Hmph, so the grand first place of the Devil Slaughter Rankings is a coward . Are the rumors really true? Is your first place ranking false?” Ye Lingshan looked up and down at Long Chen suspiciously .

So, she wanted to play the provocation game with him . That was too immature . Long Chen was speechless .

“Nonsense, senior apprentice-brother Long Chen-” Qingqing on the other hand stood up to defend Long Chen . She was about to explain what Long Chen had done in the headquarters .

“Qingqing, you foolish girl, you fell for such a simple provocation . Don’t embarra.s.s yourself . ” Long Chen smiled and pulled on Qingqing . Turning to Ye Lingshan, he said, “To compete with a broken platform, even if your head isn’t broken, it definitely isn’t normal . Since you want to know, I’ll tell you . This Venerate Platform is already useless . In the ancient era, there should have been a reward to those who managed to climb to the top . Did you see those nine runes on the final step? They are called Heaven Descending Spirit Runes . They gather Heavenly Dao energy that would bless the person who succeeded . However, they merely flickered and didn’t give you any reward when you got to the top because they are already broken . That reward is the true crux of becoming a Venerate . So let me put it this way . Even if you do one day become a Venerate, it would have nothing to do with this broken-down platform . ”

If it had been someone else saying this, others might not have believed them . However, since these words were coming from Long Chen, their confidence was shaken .

In truth, some people had said that this platform was essentially useless and couldn’t be used to prove anything, but people refused to believe it .

Long Chen then continued, “However, I wouldn’t say that this platform is completely useless . At the very least, it can temper a person’s will . It’s just that this tempering no longer has any corresponding nouris.h.i.+ng effect, making the tempering a torture . Many of the people already have signs of faint damage to their souls . Although your will grows stronger, the damage to your soul is worse . You should be careful . ”

After saying that, Long Chen tossed a medicinal pill at Ye Lingshan . Ye Lingshan reached out and caught it .

“This is…” When she saw it, she was stunned . Light was flowing brightly around the pill like it was covered by a screen of light . Within that screen of light were nine little fish slowly swimming . Those fish were actually runes emitting intense life fluctuations .

Light flowed out of the pill, forming a halo that spread for thousands of meters . All the experts bathed in that light felt their minds clear, and it was like their souls had been cleansed by a mysterious energy .

No one was capable of recognizing this pill or even judging its tier . However, they all knew it was incomparably precious .

“This is a rather high grade soul nouris.h.i.+ng pill that can heal your damaged soul . Right now is the best time for you to heal the damage . If you eat it quickly, it can not just heal your soul, but it can also increase your Spiritual Strength by thirty percent,” said Long Chen .

“Thirty percent?!” The experts jumped in shock . What kind of concept was a thirty percent increase in Spiritual Strength? It was insane!

“If you had been bestowed the reward from the Venerate Platform, it would have increased your Spiritual Strength by at least fifty percent . However, a medicinal pill is still just a medicinal pill and cannot compare to runes that have been acc.u.mulating energy for an unknown amount of time . Thirty percent is already the limit,” said Long Chen lightly .

She didn’t know if Long Chen was telling the truth or not, but Ye Lingshan clearly felt her spiritual injury healing just by holding the pill . Even without consuming it, the effect was greater than the pill that she had consumed before .

“Then… many thanks . ” Ye Lingshan reddened slightly . She couldn't refuse this pill, but considering that she wasn’t a friend of Long Chen’s and her previous provocation toward him, she was naturally very embarra.s.sed .
