Chapter 13 : Chaotic Heart Forest 1 (2/2)

“Since your cultivation level is not ideal, our Highness has decided to give you a better chance. The first will not be combat oriented; however, the second will be.”

Yu He continued after a short pause:

“The first is very simple. You will have to go into the Chaotic Heart Forest with one of our disciples; the one that travels farther will win. The second is even simpler; it will be a solo fight to determine the victor. There is also a third test, but you only need to win two to pass the trial. The third test consists of…”

“No need to continue, two tests will suffice.”

Li Qi Ye cut off the protector.

“How arrogant!”

Protector Hua yelled at him for being so arrogant. He started to exert pressure towards Li Qi Ye.

“The test hasn’t even started and you want to fight already?”

Li Qi Ye narrowed his eyes, he found great joy in aggravating people he did not like.

Grand Protector Yu He coughed once again. The cough cuts off the pressure that Protector Hua was exerting. This made Protector Hua angry; he could kill Li Qi Ye just by lifting his finger. There has never been an insect that has dared to talk to him like this before.

“Alright, let us start this test.”

Li Qi Ye rose from his seat.

“Both tests are fine, I want to see the abilities of your princess.”

Xu Hui contemptuously laughed:

“You don’t have the qualification for Senior Li to participate herself. I will be the one that you are up against.”

Yu He nodded in agreement.

“I heard you have only recently joined the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. We will not cheat you. If the princess personally delivered the test, then you would have zero chance. Here, when it comes to inner talents and potential, the princess is number one. When it comes to current strength, Junior Leng is the best. If one of them comes to test you, then after losing, you would claim that it was unfair. Junior Xu Hui has average talents amongst our inner disciples; using him to test the prime disciple of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Act should not be too demeaning to your status.”

By not sending out their best disciples, the Nine Saint Demon Gate was giving Li Qi Ye a sliver of hope. If the strongest disciple or Li Shuang Yan participated, then even the six elders would have problems.

Li Qi Ye didn’t bother to look at Xu Hui. He stared at Yu He and formally said:

“If this is the case, then at least your Nine Saint Demon Gate still has some hope after all. Although you went back on the original promise, you still manage to save a little bit of face and dignity. Fine, since you are allowing me to walk an extra step, I will spare you a yard; just so that in the future, you can’t say that I have bullied the sect.”[1]

A character like Yu He had spent many years experiencing everything life had to offer, but when he was staring at Li Qi Ye, it still puzzled him that there could be someone who was so arrogant and confusing. Does he not know of our strength? Does he has zero concept of cultivation levels? Yu He broke his stoic demeanor with a small laugh.

“Go to the Chaotic Heart Forest. The one that can go the farthest will win.”

Seeing that the test had finally begun, people started going towards the Chaotic Heart Forest. In a second, the forest was already surrounded.
