“You’re right. With his stunning performance, I think he will be the first participant with four passes,” Ye Xuan said confidently.
He obviously hoped that Long Chen could enter the Underworld Army, seeing as Long Chen had once saved his life.
Of course, there were also people who did not hope that Long Chen would join, like Song Yuchun. He was completely stunned and taken aback by Long Chen’s performance. The sudden strength that exploded from him was astonishing. After the incident, he realized that if Long Chen’s attack had been directed at him, his body would have shattered too.
That’s impossible! How could he be this strong? I must not let him join the Underworld Army!
With that thought, he quickly hurried the soldier next to him to relay his message to his grandfather. This soldier had been sent by Song Yang to serve him, and while he was unwilling to become the messenger, he could not disobey him.
Everyone was waiting for the four examiners’ feedback.
As usual, Qi Bing was the first to speak. She looked at Long Chen approvingly and said, “Not bad, kid. Even I can’t tell what technique you’re using to hide your aura. It doesn’t matter what your cultivation level is. The way you used your Divine-tier combat technique and weapon was perfect. You have also reached a high level of comprehension of the Sword Path. It is impressive to have achieved this at such a young age; how could I not let you pass?”
The crowd burst into conversation at her comments.
That was the highest praise anyone had ever gotten.
Did that mean that Long Chen was surely entering the next round? Perhaps he could receive approval from all four.
After Qi Bing was done, the second examiner spoke. He smiled and said, “Qi Bing is right. You have great potential and every skill was executed perfectly. Very few participants here today can defeat the Purple Lightning Giant in just one move. My answer is yes, of course.”
If Long Chen could get one more yes, he would progress successfully to the next round.
Everyone watched the third examiner expectedly. Some were excited, while others were nervous.
The third examiner was initially looking at Long Chen with a bright smile. Suddenly, Song Yang’s lips moved. No one knew what he said, but the examiner’s expression changed immediately. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Long Chen coldly and said, “I think you were only able to perform at that level because you used some special technique. You don’t look very young, yet you’re only at the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage. Compared to other people, your cultivation level is much lower. You’re fated to not achieve anything in this life. After thinking it over, I don’t think I can let someone who has used up his potential into the Underworld Army.”
The crowd erupted instantly.
The examiner may have given a courteous answer, but it was utter nonsense! Long Chen had performed excellently! How could he give such a wildly wrong evaluation? The reasons he had listed were a stretch.
Everyone was dissatisfied with the results. Long Chen’s performance was many times better than Song Yuchun’s, so if Song Yuchun passed, how could he not?
Of course, the final examiner, Song Yang, remained.
Thousands of people had come to compete for a hundred spots, and most of them had only come to try their luck. Once they witnessed such an unfair incident and even found out that there was a ringleader behind it, the matter snowballed and more and more angry voices sounded. The whole arena descended into chaos.
Countless scoldings and insults were thrown. Even Song Yang could not save face anymore. The other three examiners could barely sit comfortably either.
Ever since they became Thousand-Sergeants and high-level officials in the Underworld Army, they never thought they would have to face humiliation ever again.
Long Chen had completely humiliated Song Yang today. His embarrassment turned to anger, and he was about to attack Long Chen. Suddenly, Long Chen turned into a ray of blood-red light and fled to stand with the other cultivators. Song Yang’s attack crashed into the ground. The power of a Divine Martial Realm cultivator caused the whole ground to tremble.
“Has your embarrassment turned to anger? And you want to kill me? Even a person like that could become an Underworld Thousand-Sergeant? I’m utterly shocked.”
Long Chen’s words not only humiliated Song Yang, but also made everyone feel dejected.
Song Yang’s face turned completely pale. What had unfolded today had severely affected the Underworld Army’s reputation. If it escalated, Song Yang would surely be killed by someone higher up. The Underworld Army was famous for being strict with its military rules, and his actions had tarnished the Underworld Army’s reputation in Underworld City, or potentially an even larger area. He was looking for death!
“Song Yang, you dragged me into this!” yelled the other Thousand-Sergeant who failed Long Chen.
“How could you blame me? Blame the brat! Damn it! I couldn’t kill him fast enough!”
“If you killed him, everyone here would have surely left. And the Underworld Army wouldn’t be able to recruit any new blood for years. If that happened, it wouldn’t matter how powerful your family is, Song Yang—General Su Mo would kill you!”
Song Yang was slightly traumatized by how close he was to that scenario.
“What should we do, then?” Song Yang did not know what to do. Not only was Long Chen’s performance extraordinary, but he was extremely brave too. No one else would have dared to attempt such a stunt.
Surrounded by countless furious participants, the Ten Thousand-Sergeant smiled bitterly and said to Ye Xuan, “Your friend really knows how to cause trouble. But I like him.”
“Mhm. I’m afraid I’ll need your help with this, Grandfather He.”
“Don’t call me ‘Grandfather.’ You’re the younger brother of the City Lord! I’ve sold my life to General Su Mo. If he knew that you called me ‘Grandfather,’ he’d kill me.”
Then the old man appeared in the sky above the arena. He was flying, which proved that he was at the Divine Martial Realm.
The sudden appearance of an older Divine Martial Realm expert made everyone speculate that this was someone important.
An immense aura descended on them. The old man was like a god, and the cursing youths slowly turned their gazes to him. Their eyes were filled with curiosity.
“Greetings, young ladies and gentlemen. First, let me introduce myself. I’m a Ten-Thousand Sergeant from the Underworld Army, and my name is Qin Xiong. I lead ten thousand Underworld Soldiers, and if you join the Underworld Army, you’re likely going to be my subordinate. A mistake has happened today. May I ask if you all can give me some face, and quiet down a little?”
