DBWG Chapter 153 (2/2)
“Yes. As long as you’re more shrewd and evade your opponent as much as you can, you still have a chance at the Divergent Road.”
Those following Long Chen to the inner faction selection battle were only Liu Yuan and Liu Lan.
It made sense that the father and daughter pair were in rich attire. Liu Lan had put effort into her looks, with her skirt fluttering in the wind, hair done up, eyes clear and pa.s.sionate.
“She’s put so much effort into her looks. Is she trying to send me a signal?”
Long Chen slandered and bid the others of the Green Sun Hall goodbye. With Liu Yuan’s enthusiastic lead, they left the Green Sun Hall.
After Long Chen had left, the other elders and enforcers stopped waving their arms and exchanged gazes.
“Everyone, do you think Long Chen will be able to create a miracle?”
At the thought of the strength of the other partic.i.p.ants, they shook their heads. “It’s glorious enough that he’s obtained an opportunity to partic.i.p.ate. I just hope he can preserve this glory and not be defeated too miserably. Only then would Great Elder’s attempts at nurturing him not be in vain.”…………
“By the way, Long Chen, have you already refined the beast spirit?”
Not long after leaving the Green Sun Hall, Liu Yuan, whose long beard was flowing in the wind couldn’t hold himself back and asked.
Long Chen was surprised and took a look at the cold Liu Lan. Confidently, he answered, “Don’t worry, Great Elder. How could I let you down?”
From Long Chen’s words, it meant he’d already refined the beast spirit. In that case, Long Chen might not have a good chance at the selection, but as long as he could display an extraordinary performance and give Liu Yuan a better reputation, Liu Yuan was satisfied.
Long Chen was brazenly lying to Liu Yuan, and Liu Lan found this behaviour shameless.
“What’s the point of lying to my father now? When you’re under attack and can’t even use your beast transformation, how embarra.s.sing would it be for you, Long Chen?”
Liu Lan could not comprehend why Long Chen, who had once stunned her, needed to lie in order to maintain his reputation as a genius.
At this thought, Liu Lan stood ahead of Long Chen, a cold smile on her face.
“Is that so? Does that mean you’re done with it? Long Chen, why don’t you try transforming now? Let me admire the beast transformation of the Purple Enchanted Dragon and see how it is.”
Long Chen laughed in embarra.s.sment, “Grand Elder, there’s no need for that. You bestowed the beast spirit to me, and if I use it in the inner faction selection and defeat my opponent, you’ll feel more accomplished!”
Long Chen was now practically a treasure in Liu Yuan’s heart. Since Long Chen had spoken, he did not want to lose his demeanour as a grand elder despite his curiosity, and waved his arms elegantly, “Do as you like!”
“Thank you, Grand Elder!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Lan, who was walking ahead, could only remain silent.
While she wanted to turn back and scold Long Chen, she pondered over it and realised there was no need to.
“Since this is the type of person he is, let him die on his own. What’s the point of caring about him?”
Shaking her head, Liu Lan maintained her cool look.
Behind her, Long Chen watched her as she swung her hips while walking. How could he not know what she was thinking?
“When the time comes, let me give this idiotic woman a surprise. How dare you use me as a shield. It’s not my style if I don’t teach you a lesson!”
At this thought, Long Chen smirked inside and asked Liu Yuan, who was beside him, “Grand Elder, what is this Divergent Road?”
“I was going to speak to you about the inner faction selection, and you ended up asking first. Don’t worry and let me explain it to you slowly.”
Liu Yuan cleared his throat, “The inner faction selection is no different from before. There are a total of two stages, and they are the Divergent Road, and Nest of Life and Death.”
“Divergent Road and Nest of Life and Death?”
“Yes. The inner faction selection will not be held in the Lingwu City nor in the Sky Martial Realm. It will be held to the west of the Yuanling City, and at the border of the Yuanling Region, in the mountains of the Nine Devil Mountain. More specifically, the Devil Mountain of Life and Death within the Nine Devil Mountain.”
“So it’s not in Yuanling City?”
Long Chen was surprised. The scale of the inner faction selection was so enormous, that the location was even at the borders of the Yuanling Region, within the Nine Devil Mountain.
“The Devil Mountain of Life and Death reaches as high as over ten thousand metres and is vast, reaching the heavens and is unusually tall. At the peak, there exists countless devil nests, and are known as the Nests of Life and Death. This is a ruthless training area for life and death experiences. Not only are there vicious demonic beasts there, the terrain is also very treacherous. That’s why the inner faction selection is held there.”
A peak of over ten thousand metres! Long Chen had never heard of it before. This showed how powerful the Lingwu Family was.
Just an inner faction selection required one to head to a place with a name that would inspire terror.
“Now, I shall explain the two stages, the Divergent Road and Nest of Life and Death. First, the Divergent Road!”
Liu Yuan looked solemn, and this serious att.i.tude was probably so that Long Chen would take this inner faction selection more seriously.
