Chapter 71 (2/2)

He could easily discern that Long Chen wasn’t from Yuanling City. People from a small town wouldn’t know what a Cosmos Pouch was. Therefore, Liu Fengfeng feigned embarra.s.sment as he said: “You can’t carry many steel hearts without a Cosmos Pouch, but that is also for the best. When you return and break through into the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, go to Yuandi City. Only then will your chances of success be greater. “

Long Chen found out everything that he needed to know. While listening to this obnoxious fellow, Long Chen felt resentment welling up from the bottom of his heart. But he didn’t bother to argue and walked on in silence.

Seeing Long Chen’s behaviour, Liu Fengfeng a.s.sumed it was out of frustration. Shaking his head, Liu Fengfeng shifted his attention to others, sizing up his compet.i.tion.

“Seems like the compet.i.tors, this time, are all of high quality, excluding you, there aren’t any pushovers”

While Liu Fengfeng was babbling away, everyone had arrived swiftly at the place Liu Fengfeng had mentioned.

In front of Long Chen, there was a small hill. At its foot, there were several dozen openings. Currently, all the entrances were sealed by steel doors. When the group arrived, people began unsealing the tunnels.

By that time, there were several representatives of the Lingwu Family standing atop a giant boulder. Amongst them was the elder brother of Huang Xiang, Huang Feiyang.

Long Chen was finally able to study Huang Feiyang more closely. This man had a grave expression and looked unapproachable. A pair of frightening eyes gave off an impression that he was someone p.r.o.ne to cruelty, anyone, who offended him would have to watch their backs.

“However, I must exact revenge for Xiao Hei….”

At this point, the gaze of another powerful youth from the Lingwu Family swept across the crowd. Suddenly Long Chen felt a chill in his heart.

“Gentlemen, I believe everyone more or less knows about the Lingwu Family rules. Our testing for the Green Faction is also modelled on the Lingwu Family standards. There are steel golems within these tunnels. What you all have to do is to enter these tunnels. Whoever pa.s.ses through these tunnels whilst obtaining the most steel hearts will have the privilege of entering the second round.”

“But I will remind you all once you’ve entered these tunnels it becomes a matter of life and death. Every single one of you must be prepared to die. I will cut to the chase since you have all come this far, forfeiting is no longer an option. Get inside everyone, and we will await you on the other side.”

Long Chen coldly observed these representatives and thought to himself: “These youngsters aren’t that old, but I’m afraid they are all existences at the Human Dan Realm. Huang Feiyang is in the Initial Mastery Stage of the Human Dan Realm. Most likely everyone else is also closer to that level… This is only a branch of the Green Faction within Lingwu Family. These kind of geniuses can actually be seen everywhere….”

“Long Chen, you have much more talent than them. As long as there is sufficient time, you will quickly surpa.s.s them. For example, you only need to raise your level a tiny bit, and then you can use the Soul Diffusion Fruit to catch up to them.”

Lingxi’s words sounded in Long Chen’s ears.

Soon, Long Chen was led towards one of the tunnels and there were more than 50 people a.s.signed to a tunnel. The nervous tension spread gradually. While standing in front of the tunnels and listening to the grinding of sharp steel, the majority of the partic.i.p.ants felt their scalp tingling.

Currently, the talkative Liu Fengfeng was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, feeling a heated gaze upon him, Long Chen looked up, only to find that Huang Xiang had already spotted him.

At that moment, Huang Xiang, who was about to display his skills, suddenly saw Long Chen, who was surprisingly within his proximity. He felt shocked and thought that he was hallucinating.

But when Long Chen turned around, he could confirm that it was indeed Long Chen. After the initial surprise, he felt his mood brighten, thinking: “It really is that kid. He made me lose face in Yuanyang Citadel. Originally, I was in a hurry due to the Lingwu Family selection and only killed his horse. I never thought that he would enter the selections. I’ll just have to kill him off too. If you want to blame anyone, blame your bad luck….”

Thinking about the second test, Huang Xiang was rather excited as he felt that he would be able to show Long Cheng who was more powerful between the two.

“It seems like the opponents for the second test are directly a.s.signed by my brother, and at that time we’ll face each other again. Let’s see how you die!”

Thinking about it made Huang Xiang feel better.

Previously, the Lingwu Family selection had forced him to let Long Chen off the hook which had made him feel ill at ease for the past few days.

If he didn’t teach Long Chen a good lesson, he wouldn’t be able to clear his troubled mind. This time, with Long Chen’s appearance, he’d be able to resolve this issue and all would be well again.

“However I’m not sure if that kid will be able to pa.s.s the first test or not. If it comes to pa.s.s that he loses his life inside these tunnels, then I, Huang Xiang, won’t hold a grudge against a dead man.”

Seeing the complex expressions playing upon on Huang Xiang’s face settle into a malicious smile, Long Chen felt alarmed.

“What is that guy plotting?”

Since he couldn’t figure it out, Long Chen dropped the matter. The most important thing right now was to pa.s.s the first test. During the following stages of the selection, if he had to face off against Huang Xiang….

“I definitely will cripple that fellow.”

At this moment, Huang Feiyang threw Huang Xiang a glance, smiling faintly as he said: “Open the steel doors! The first test has began!”
