News of Long Chen defeating Feng Wutian spread like the wind throughout the Green faction and even to other factions. Even those in the inner factions caught wind of this.
His reputation skyrocketed. At least, in the outer factions, he was just like a celebrity.
In terms of his popularity in the Green Faction, he had already surpa.s.sed Chu Yunyao and the others. He was already almost at the same level of popularity as Chu Yunxi.
Liu Lan was not yet thirty and already at the perfect mastery stage at the Earth Dan Realm. Out of everyone at her age, she was the trump card in the Green Sun Hall, while for Long Chen’s age group, he was their trump card.
After this duel at the Platform of Life and Death, Liu Yuan used all sorts of spirit medicine on Feng Wutian, and he recovered after a day. He did not say much but left the Green faction silently, and it was only then that Liu Yuan and everyone else could heave a sigh of relief.
Long Chen could finally be at ease and continue to cultivate. The number of Thunder Flame Crystals he could fuse with had yet to reach the limit, and he continued with this task. After fusing with the 28th, Liu Yuan suddenly summoned him.
“What does that old geezer want me for?”
He finally had the chance to get some rest, and Long Chen had been planning to visit the Sky Martial Realm again to obtain more contribution points. Unexpectedly enough, Liu Yuan picked this moment to summon him.
After entering the main hall in the Green Sun Hall, he found only Liu Yuan seated there. Upon seeing Long Chen, he was all smiles as he welcomed Long Chen.
“Could the reason for Elder Yuan’s cheerful mood be a new addition to the family despite your old age?”
Long Chen’s status was now different, and he made use of it to tease Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan did not get mad and glanced at this brat helplessly, before he laughed, “Let me tell you some amazing news.”
“What is it?”
He had not expected there to be some surprise, and Long Chen’s ears immediately perked up.
Liu Yuan intentionally tried to be secretive, “Do you know the importance of the first day of the eleventh month is?”(Eleventh Month = November)
“How would I know? Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!” Long Chen was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
“The first day of the eleventh month is the day that the Eastern Green Dragon, which in other words implies the inner faction, begins its selection.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Long Chen brightened up and blurted out, “Old man, are you going to tell me that I pa.s.sed the verification process? I can take part in the selection?”
The term ‘old man’ had been something Long Chen coined and used only in his thoughts. As he was much too emotional, it had slipped out.
Honestly speaking, Long Chen really did want to enter the inner faction. For one, he would be able to obtain a lot of resources and two, the recent spate of events made it clear the importance of status. From what he knew of Dongfang Tianyu, Feng Wutian, Beitang Mo, as well as the terrible state Mo Xiaolang was in, Long Chen knew that he needed to enter the inner faction in order to be able to raise his head in the Lingwu Family.
More importantly, Yang Lingqing was in the Northern Black Tortoise. Long Chen was most concerned that Yang Lingqing might be bullied, which was why he was so fixated on the inner faction selection.
“No matter what, I have to get into the inner faction…”
However, he had heard that he needed to be at least at the Earth Dan Realm to partic.i.p.ate in the selection. Long Chen was now only at the perfect mastery stage at the Human Dan Realm, which was why he held little hope for himself. However, from Liu Yuan’s words, it seemed…
“You’re really in luck, brat. Yes, the information has confirmed that you have pa.s.sed the verification process. This is really out of my expectations…”
For young Long Chen to have such luck, Liu Yuan was deeply moved.
After obtaining Liu Yuan’s confirmation, Long Chen was overjoyed.
“I’ll definitely grasp this opportunity, but…” Long Chen glanced at Liu Yuan, “Elder Yuan, I’m still at the Human Dan Realm though. How could I have pa.s.sed the verification process? Did they make a mistake?”
Liu Yuan shook his head. “I think news of you defeating Feng Wutian has spread. Though you’re at the perfect mastery stage at the Human Dan Realm, you were able to defeat an Earth Dan in the inner faction. The person in charge must have realised this and acknowledged your potential.”
Long Chen pondered over this and found this to be the only answer.
‘Looks like watching Liu Ling bathing wasn’t all for nothing. It’s because I saw her that she got Feng Wutian to beat me up, which ended up with him losing to me, allowing me to even have the qualifications to take part in the selection for the inner faction. The development of matters in the world really takes me by surprise.”
A look of satisfaction appeared on Long Chen’s expression as he thought.
“Long Chen, don’t be too happy just yet.” Liu Yuan’s words were like a bucket of cold water being splashed all over Long Chen.
“Why?” He could not understand why this old man was suddenly so stern.
