Chapter Index

    “My ideal is to be a… big… bastard.”

    After listening to Long Chen’s words, Tang Wan’er couldn’t believe her ears. But she understood in an instant that Long Chen was doing something weird again.

    Tang Wan’er covered her cherry lips with her hands. She chuckled and said, “Congratulations. Your ideal has been realized. You are now an out-and-out bastard.”

    Tang Wan’er was talking, her beautiful eyes were filled with autumn waves, and her pretty face was filled with smiles, like pear blossoms in bloom. She was so beautiful that she couldn’t be more beautiful.

    Long Chen couldn’t help but stare at it. This Tang Waner was really beautiful. She was on par with Chu Yao. Long Chen shook his head and said:

    “It’s not as simple as you think. What I want to do is to be a new bastard with ideals, literacy, integrity, and connotation. Although this goal is a bit far away, I believe that with my diligence and tireless efforts, I will succeed one day.” Long Chen looked at the sky, his eyes full of yearning.

    Tang Wan’er laughed so hard that her shoulders kept shaking. She gave Long Chen a light slap and said angrily: “Don’t make me laugh.”

    After all, there were too many people here. Although the two of them were hiding in the corner, they would still be seen by many people. Tang Wan’er could only endure it with all her strength. But this guy Long Chen tried his best to tease her. The most hateful thing was that everything Long Chen said was serious, which made people laugh.

    “I’m not teasing you. What I said is true. You can’t understand it. I don’t blame you either. After all, you are still young.” Long Chen sighed and pretended to feel like he was cold at a high place.

    “Exactly. Why are you pretending to be a grown-up? What month were you born? You’re probably not even older than me.” Tang Wan’er glanced at Long Chen and said.

    Long Chen looked at Tang Wan’er. He looked back and forth on her graceful figure. He hesitated and said, “How can this score compare?”

    Tang Wan’er’s pretty face immediately turned as red as an apple. Her beautiful eyes were full of evil. She wished she could beat up Long Chen: “Asshole, do you want to die? You can say such a gangster’s words.”

    Long Chen felt a sense of emotion in his heart. The other courtyard was much more interesting than he expected. It was not too difficult to tease beautiful women every day.

    I just don’t know what’s going on with Chu Yao. Does she need to take an exam to enter Tianmu Palace? When things settle down here, I must go and have a look. I always feel that Chu Yao is too honest and I’m afraid that she will be wronged.

    Long Chen was deep in thought when suddenly there was a commotion among the people around him. Long Chen quickly raised his head and looked forward. He saw a dozen old men walking in front of the stone wall.

    Those old men were all wearing gray robes and had old-fashioned faces. But the light in their eyes was so bright that people didn’t dare to look at them.

    The aura on their bodies is extremely huge. Although it is not emitted, it feels like a volcano. Once it erupts, it will destroy the world.

    “These are all elders in the other courtyard. It is said that they are all strong in the bone forging realm.” Tang Waner looked at those people and explained to Long Chen.

    Long Chen nodded. No wonder he is so powerful. The strong men in the sect are completely different from the strong men in the secular world. There is no comparison.

    After the old men arrived, they looked at everyone indifferently and said nothing. In front of the stone wall, there was a huge step, ten feet high. Everyone flew up and sat cross-legged on the stone step, closing their eyes and saying nothing.

    Long Chen felt strange. Just when he didn’t know what these old men were doing, a figure fell from the sky and landed on the stone steps.

    As soon as that person appeared, Long Chen immediately recognized him. That person was Elder Tu Fang who gave Long Chen the registration form.

    As soon as Elder Tu Fang arrived, the dozen or so old men immediately stood up and bowed to Tu Fang. Tu Fang also returned the bow. Those people continued to sit down. No one spoke during the process.

    There was no sound in the whole place. The atmosphere was so tense that one could hardly breathe. The arrival of Tu Fang heralded that the final test was about to begin.

    “If you haven’t collected a full set of nameplates, stand back a hundred feet.”

    Tu Fang opened his mouth. It sounded like a loud bell, full of majesty. The sound surged back and forth in front of the stone wall.

    When his voice fell, the people who had gathered in front immediately retreated like a tide, leaving only more than 3,000 people.

    Long Chen was shocked. Didn’t he say that the elimination rate was three-quarters? Why are so few people left?

    Three of the four people were eliminated. If you calculate that, there are more than 30,000 people. There should be more than 7,000 people who can collect the nameplates.

    Then Long Chen thought of a problem. If some people’s nameplates were lost or damaged, or were killed by monsters, then a whole set of nameplates would disappear.

    It may also be like what Senior Brother Wan said. Some people are selfish. Anyway, they can’t complete the task. They just give up on themselves and destroy the nameplate. If they can’t go by themselves, it’s better to bring in three people to support them.

    If we consider these reasons, it is understandable that there are so many people left. There are more than 30,000 people, but only more than 3,000 people are left. This elimination rate is too terrifying.

    Tu Fang looked at the remaining people and nodded. He glanced at the crowd and then continued:

    “I will preside over the next assessment. You can see that behind me, there are more than 9,000 caves. That is where you will take the assessment.”

    Tu Fang pointed at the cliff behind him. Following Tu Fang’s movements, the old men who had closed their eyes slowly opened their eyes.

    In front of them cross-legged, a stone pillar slowly rose up to a height of about ten feet. It was as thick as a water tank. It was covered with strange lines and full of ancient atmosphere.

    When the stone pillar appeared, all the old men stretched out their big hands and slapped it on the stone pillar. A majestic power was injected into the stone pillar.

    The lines on the stone pillars began to slowly glow in the hands of those old men, as if they were coming to life.

    “Buzz”

    When all the lines on the light pillars lit up, the entire stone cliff let out a roar, and the earth trembled. Terrifying pressure radiated, as if it was about to crush people into meat cakes.

    It was a kind of soul pressure. It came from the depths of a person’s soul. It made people feel awe and fear. Everyone couldn’t help but take a few steps back. It was an instinct.

    However, six people did not retreat. They still stood in place, as relaxed as ancient cypresses. They were Tang Waner, Ye Zhiqiu, Lei Qianshang, Qi Xin, and Yue Zifeng. The other person was Long Chen.

    Tu Fang looked at these six people and couldn’t help but nodded. This time, six strong men appeared at the same time. If so many people appeared in other domains, the rise of Xuantian Villa would be unstoppable.

    “Ka ka ka…”

    As the cliffs shook, the originally closed stone doors in those caves slowly rose up. It was like a devil opening its eyes. An extremely evil aura came out, chilling people to the core.

    It was pitch dark inside those caves and it was difficult to see what was going on inside. However, the light from those stone pillars illuminated the entrances of the caves, allowing people to see some symbols above each entrance.

    “These caves are your final trial sites. The trials are divided into three specifications. They are the outer gate, the inner gate, and the core level.”

    Tu Fang pointed to the thousands of caves behind him and said: “You can see the caves here. In fact, they are all different in size. There are 5,876 caves on the bottom layer. They are the outer sect level assessment. As long as you pass, you will become the outer sect disciples of other courtyards.”

    Only then did Long Chen notice. A closer look at the cave on the stone wall revealed that it was actually divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The sizes of the caves were also different, but the difference was not very big. If Tu Fang hadn’t reminded him, it would have been difficult to see.

    “The three thousand and ninety-six caves in the middle are the assessment for the inner sect level. Same as above. As long as you pass the assessment, you will be an inner sect disciple.

    The one hundred and eighty-seven caves at the top are core-level assessments. If you want to become a core disciple, you must pass that level.” Tu Fang looked at the crowd and said.

    Everyone looked at the caves with eager eyes. Their hearts were full of expectations. After passing through, they were the true disciples of Xuantian Villa.

    In the assessment map, many people have received a lot of benefits. It is even more urgent for Yuwang to enter Xuantian Villa.

    “But before the assessment, I need to tell you a story. You must listen carefully, because it is related to your future life and death.” Tu Fang glanced at the crowd and said with a solemn expression.

    The two words “life and death” are like two sledgehammers, hitting people’s hearts hard. Many people have already found it difficult to breathe.

    In the family, they were the lofty treasures. But here, they have become weeds and are no longer the protagonists.

    Especially when many people saw the same genius as them die tragically on the assessment map, they were simply frightened. For the first time, they felt that death was so close to them.

    Seeing everyone holding their breath and listening, Tu Fang nodded and continued: “You are all children of aristocratic families. You are loved by thousands of people. You are extremely talented. You are gifted and have great expectations from your family.

    But after such a long period of assessment, have you discovered that you are actually just a bunch of trash?”

    Tu Fang’s words were very indifferent, without any emotion, and not even the slightest bit sarcastic. They were like telling a fact. They made many people look angry. They felt that this was a humiliation to them.

    “Are you timid in the face of death? Have you hesitated? Have you ever thought about giving up? If so, then don’t deny it. You are a waste.

    The monsters in the previous assessment map were all specially arranged by other hospitals. There are many second-level monsters. Under normal circumstances, you can easily kill them as long as you use 80% of your combat power.

    But the result made me very disappointed. In the previous assessment, a total of 1,587 people died in the hands of the little second-level monsters. What do you think you are if you are not useless?

    Facing the second-level monsters without the protection of the strong, you are afraid. When your lives are threatened, you can’t even exert half of your combat power. You are nothing but useless.”

    Tu Fang’s words made most people lower their heads. They were indeed as Tu Fang said. When faced with life and death threats, they were indeed too fearful and unable to exert their full combat power. Some people escaped death and still have lingering fears.

    “Don’t give me any excuses. Say that your family hasn’t trained you enough and is too lenient with you. The reason why the strong can become strong is because they try every means to make themselves stronger. The weak have no chance to make excuses at all, because they are all dead.” Tu Fang said coldly, looking at those people who still had unconvinced eyes.

    Tang Wan’er listened to Tu Fang’s words and glanced secretly. She stared at the sky. The expressionless Long Chen felt that the tone of their conversation was so similar.

    “I am telling you this to give you a wake-up call. Cultivation is a path with no retreat. If you are afraid of death, leave as soon as possible.

    Because what you face today are just childish things. Because your enemies in the future will be ten thousand times more terrifying than this.

    They are what we call…evils.”
