Chapter 70 (2/2)
He looked at Long Chen before coming forward and saying enthusiastically, “Are you here to join the Lingwu Family’s selection? Haha! I’m partic.i.p.ating as well. I’m called Liu Fengfeng. What’s your name?”
Even though Long Chen saw that he was pa.s.sionate, judging from his eyes, he knew that he was a person that coveted little things. However, Long Chen was not willing to get into a conflict with him so he replied smiling, “I’m called Long Chen.”
“Long Chen? Seeing that you’re still so young, have you reached the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm?”
“I’m a Beast Warrior, but I’m only at the eighth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm.”
Comparatively, Liu Fengfeng knew that Long Chen wasn’t his opponent and was instantly happy. Long Chen saw that he was preoccupied, so he exchanged a few more words and stopped.
“Little Brother Long Chen, not that I want to disparage you, but if I were a Beast Warrior, I would have definitely waited until I was at the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm before coming. You will have a greater advantage by then. At your current level, you’ll just go through the motions in this test. The Lingwu Family’s selection will be exceptionally dangerous this time. If you lose your life, it really isn’t worth it.”
Displaying an elder brother’s att.i.tude, Liu Fengfeng began to righteously lecture Long Chen.
Long Chen didn’t want to reply so he smiled instead.
Seeing that Long Chen wasn’t listening to him, Liu Fengfeng momentarily became enraged. Attacking Long Chen wasn’t a good idea so his tone became cold when he said, “I’m afraid that you’re still unaware that during the Lingwu Family’s selection, your life or death will be of no consequence. Someone investigated and discovered that there was a one in five chance of dying and two in of five chance of being seriously injured. In my opinion, most likely you will……..Sigh!”
Seeing that guy’s self-righteous att.i.tude, even though Long Chen disagreed with his words, he was getting information out from him so he pretended to be terrified. In his heart, he was already berating him, ‘ What the h.e.l.l does it got to do with you whether I, your father, want to partic.i.p.ate or not?’
Since he wasn’t in Poplar Town and was in Yuanling City that had as many experts as trees in a forest, Long Chen felt that even swearing wouldn’t make him feel any better. It also wasn’t his style and he didn’t’ want to live like this……
“Big Brother Liu, since you’re so knowledgeable about this selection, are you from Yuanling City?”
Liu Fengfeng immediately replied complacently, “I grew up in Yuanling City. I have been here for twenty years so anything that happens here, I’ll know about it. From your attire, you should be from a small town. Those places are really poor. They are all frogs at the bottom of the well. I had once pa.s.sed by a town where there was a person who thought that the strongest person in the world was at the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. It was really hilarious.”
As Liu Fengfeng spoke excitedly, his spittle sprayed everywhere. When he saw that Long Chen was a little annoyed, he inwardly sn.i.g.g.e.red as he thought, “This brat is obviously a country b.u.mpkin but his gaze is filled with arrogance. You will know what it is like to suffer tomorrow. There are mountains beyond mountains and a sky beyond a sky………”
“Big brother, I came from afar, with you being a local, can you tell me about the Lingwu City?”
Liu Fengfeng’s tone carried a trace of annoyance. He fixed his unkempt hair while taking out a green copper mirror to have a look. After making some postures and confirming that he was indeed handsome, he plainly replied, “About Yuanling City, it just what it is. There’s nothing much to talk about. Everyone thinks that it’s large, but I find it merely ordinary.”
“How is Yuanling City divided and what factions does it contain? Long Chen asked while suppressing his urge to vomit.
He really couldn’t take Liu Fengfeng’s personality. It was already too much to look down at him, but wasn’t he too pretentious?
“En… Yuanling City is currently split into four big domains, according to a compa.s.s, North, South, East and West. The Lingwu Family is located in the eastern domain of Yuanling City. We’re currently in the eastern domain. The other three are the western domain, southern domain and northern domain.”
“As for the powers in Yuanling City, everyone knows that the Lingwu Family has control over Yuanling City. However, the western domain is controlled by the Beast Spirit Palace. It’s powers are on par with the Lingwu Family. If I were a Beast Warrior like you, I would have headed to the Yuandi City. Why have you come to Lingwu City? Yuandi City is heaven for Beast Warriors!”
Long Chen was shocked as he knew that the top faction of Yuanling City was the Lingwu Family. However, unbeknownst to him there was another power that was comparable to it!
From what Liu Fengfeng had said, he indicated that the Yuandi faction was in opposition to the Lingwu faction in Yuanling City. The city’s name was based on the names Lingwu and Yuandi forming Yuan-Ling. This was to say that the Beast Spirit Palace in the Yuandi City held extraordinary powers similar to that of the Lingwu City!
“I only knew about the Lingwu Family but not about the Beast Spirit Palace. Since I’m already here, I’m not going to withdraw.”
Seeing that he was still unafraid of death, Liu Fengfeng said indifferently, “Forget it then. I won’t talk any further with you. You must be careful during this selection so as to remain alive until you reach the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. I still recommend that you go to the Beast Spirit Palace since that is the place that Beast Warriors should go.”
Long Chen wanted to give him some face so he nodded and said, “If I failed to enter the Lingwu Family, I’ll go to the Beast Spirit Palace next.”
Liu Fengfeng nodded and replied, “I can see that you’re still young so I don’t want you to walk astray. If you can understand my painstaking effort, it’ll suffice!”
Long Chen didn’t think he had made any painstaking efforts, but rather just boasting about his power and knowledge.
“That’s right, Big Brother Liu, do you know anything about the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect?”
Long Chen initially thought of getting some information about the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect, but that guy unexpectedly was baffled. “What sect is that? It should be some small faction. It’s only people from small places that will be frightened by such small powers. I’ll tell you that Yuanling City has three big powers. They are the Lingwu City, the Beast Spirit Palace and the Daybreak Merchants Union. The Daybreak Merchants Union has power over the northern and southern domains and there are even traces of them in the eastern domain. The Daybreak Merchants Union isn’t comparable in terms of military forces to the Lingwu City and Yuandi City but in regards to resources and a.s.sets, they are a force to be reckoned with!”
“Daybreak Merchants Union?”
Long Chen really wouldn’t have thought that the Daybreak Merchants Union had such a huge presence!
