Chapter 73 (2/2)

Seeing that Long Chen still dared to face him, Huang Xiang scornfully thought “Is this because I killed your horse? Is that something worth being angry about? After I have killed you, then you will know that the matter previously was insignificant….”

As Long Chen merged into the crowd, people could clearly see his appearance. Still, they lost interest to observe him any further. At that moment, Liu Fengfeng ran over to pat Long Chen on his shoulder as he laughed and said, “Well done lad! Actually, you’ve exceeded my expectations. Coming out alive, is not bad at all. How many steel hearts did you gain?”

Looking at this person, Long Chen could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

Liu Fengfeng, who looked as if he had expected this reply, cheerfully said, “Never mind, even if you didn’t obtain any steel hearts, it is alright. At least, you sustained no injuries. You’ll still have an opportunity at the next Yuandi City’s selection!”

While Liu Fengfeng was harping on, Huang Xiang and Long Chen looked daggers at each other. However, it was seen by Huang Feiyang. Huang Feiyang frowned while staring at Long Chen and muttered, “Does Ah Xiang[1] and this kid have a conflict? Good brat, you’re clearly aware that I am here, yet you still dare to offend a person from my Huang Family. Your guts aren’t small.”

[TL Note[1]: An endearing term – Refers to Huang Xiang]

He’d originally thought to announce that, because of Long Chen’s slight delay, he would lose the qualification to enter the second trial. But before he could, Wen Ya who was beside him, announced, “Well done. Now, all of you please get in a row, and each and everyone shall hand over your steel hearts! ”

As Wen Ya spoke, Huang Feiyang didn’t want to contradict him. Instead, thought to himself, “Never mind, even if you can enter the top 10, I will make you suffer soon. ”

He sat down, and on his desk, he flipped through the registration book to read Long Chen’s profile.

“Long Chen, comes from….. Poplar Town’s Yang Family, a Beast Warrior, in the eighth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. The Beast Spirit Origin is the Underground Blood Lizard of the Dragon Pulse Realm? It’s only at this level, yet Ah Xiang[1] hasn’t eliminated him. It seems like the cultivation Ah Xiang did for all these years is still lacking. ”

At this time, Wen Ya was already registering the number of steel hearts handed in by each warrior.

“Chen Wenlong, 18 pieces!”

“Qing Xu, 29 pieces!”

“Xiao Yan, 8 pieces!”

About 20 people, one by one, approached Wen Ya and took out the steel hearts within their cosmos pouches. After waiting anxiously for some time, Liu Fengfeng patted Long Chen’s shoulder and said, “You wait here, I will first go to hand over the steel hearts!”

Very quickly, his outcome was announced.

“Liu Fengfeng, 23 hearts!”

Liu Fengfeng proudly came before Long Chen and said excitedly, “So far, my quant.i.ty of steel hearts puts me in 9th place! I see that the rest of the people, except for Huang Xiang, were all severely injured. I guess, this time, my total of steel hearts has unexpectedly gotten me a position in the top 10, the heavens are indeed smiling upon me!”

While he spoke, Huang Xiang gave Long Chen a provoking stare, as he walked over to Wen Ya. Looking at the younger brother of his good friend, Wen Ya smiled cheerfully and said, “Are you Huang Xiang? Come, take out your steel hearts, and let us see what you’ve got! ”

Huang Feiyang looked at his younger brother with an indulgent expression, and said, “During my selection, I got 58 steel hearts and our Elder Brother Wen Ya did better than me and retrieved 67 steel hearts. Currently, the highest number of steel hearts is 41. Ah Xiang, do you have any chance to get the first position?”

Huang Xiang confidently laughed and said, “You’ll just have to count them to find out. ”

While laughing, a huge amount of dazzling steel hearts poured out from his Cosmos Pouch. Seeing the rest of the partic.i.p.ants gasp, even Wen Ya and Huang Feiyang displayed their approval of him!

Liu Fengfeng paled, and said, “I underestimated Huang Xiang’s ability. The number of steel hearts should be more than 60! This means, that Huang Xiang’s ranking would be 1st, and I will be ranked 10th. However, that is not bad, I can still enter the second trial……”

While Wen Ya was precisely counting, he suddenly laughed and said, “Not bad kid, certainly not bad. 68 steel hearts. He got one more steel heart compared to what I got in the past.”

Huang Feiyang was gratified as he looked at his brother’s accomplishment.

He looked at Huang Xiang and nodded. Just then Huang Xiang opened his mouth to say something, Huang Feiyang looked and saw Long Chen standing not too far behind Huang Xiang, and he immediately understood Huang Xiang’s intention.

Therefore, he nodded.

Then only did Huang Xiang leave. During this time, those who were seriously injured and applied the healing medicines walked over one by one. Not exceeding Liu Fengfeng’s expectations, their achievements seldom exceeded 10 hearts. Looking around, Liu Fengfeng drew back the corners of his mouth in a smile.

“Great, I’m barely in the tenth place, but it was really close……”

Looking at him rejoicing, Long Chen felt the irony as he was the only one left to hand over his steel hearts.

Seeing Long Chen approach Wen Ya, Liu Fengfeng was startled and muttered, “Could it be that this boy was able to obtain some steel hearts?”
