Chapter 919 – Shield Talisman

The old man’s voice rang in every person’s ear. Everyone looked at each other and simmered down. He had a solemn expression and radiated justice; he did not look as untrustworthy as Song Yang.

Long Chen glanced at the old man, then at the direction where the old man came from. He sensed that someone was looking at him from that area.

Ye Xuan?

Long Chen could barely see him.

He smiled and did not say anything. If this old man came from Ye Xuan’s side, then it meant he would have no issues entering the Underworld Army.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The old man looked around, then said, “What happened just now was just an accident. I guarantee that incidents like this do not happen often, and it will definitely never happen again. Our trials are absolutely fair and open. From now onwards, I will take over Song Yang’s place. As for Fighter Number 380 from just now, Long Chen, I permit him to join the Underworld Army.”

The old man’s decision won over the crowd’s trust.

The only person with a grimace was Song Yang. He was one of the main examiners, but he had been fired from his position. He had utterly humiliated himself. However, this was considered a great outcome after such a major incident. If the old man had been in a bad mood today, he would have killed him.

This was a Ten Thousand-Sergeant. To the people present, a Thousand-Sergeant was already a highly ranked official, let alone a Ten Thousand-Sergeant. Many people’s goal in life was only to become a Thousand-Sergeant. A Ten Thousand-Sergeant was at the Second Divine Martial Stage and was considered a legendary master. Only a few dozen of them existed out of the five hundred thousand Underworld Soldiers in Underworld City.

Furthermore, Qin Xiong seemed to have a decent reputation. After his appearance, the crowd was clearly much calmer. The sounds of objection slowly died down.

This man was close to Ye Xuan, and he had likely stepped in to help because of Ye Xuan. Therefore, Long Chen quickly supported his decision. If the affected victim agreed with him, the other people would have nothing else to say. “I believe Ten Thousand-Sergeant will handle this matter well. Thank you!”

In the subsequent trials, Qin Xiong replaced Song Yang. Meanwhile Song Yang glared at Long Chen with seething hatred. He was sitting amongst the crowd, and Song Yuchun also had a stiff expression next to him. He knew that his grandfather had lost face today, so he did not dare say anything. All he did was glare at Long Chen, thinking of a way to get him back.

“Chun’er, let me explain something to you. Listen well,” Song Yang suddenly said with a sneer.

“Grandfather, what is it?” Song Yuchun asked, puzzled.

“Based on the trend so far, there will likely be about two hundred participants who will receive at least three passes. Then, I think they will pair the participants up to duel so that one hundred people will enter the Underworld Army. You and Long Chen were two consecutive participants who passed, so he’s likely going to be your opponent. That brat is very unpredictable and he’s likely quite strong. You may not be a match for him ...”

“What should I do, then?” Song Yuchun had witnessed Long Chen’s performance too. If he really was no match for Long Chen, then it would end in a tragedy for him.

“Don’t worry. I’ll give you something so you can kill him.” There was a sneer on Song Yang’s face.

Indeed, the oldest gingers were the spiciest.

As he spoke, Ye Xuan discretely took out a talisman from his storage ring. It radiated invisible ripples. He said, “Put it away quickly. Don’t let other people see it.”

Long Chen stored it in the Primordial Realm and inspected it once it was inside. It was a piece of transparent talisman paper with dramatic, bright-red runes. The runes danced on the talisman, which radiated ripples of energy.

“That is a Shield Talisman. It can withstand a First Divine Martial Stage cultivator’s most powerful attack. However, it can only be used once. If your opponent uses a super-strong attack, use it against him,” said Ye Xuan with a nonchalant expression.

It can withstand a Divine Martial Realm cultivator’s most powerful attack?

“This is such an expensive item! Isn’t this a little too much?” said Long Chen.

“Don’t worry about it. I have many Shield Talismans like that one. Treat it as a gift from me. Use it for self-defense. If you don’t use it today, it’ll be handy some other time,” said Ye Xuan with a grin.

“Then I shall keep it safe with me.” Long Chen was not one to decline gifts. This was someone he had saved before, so receiving a gift from him was very normal.

And Ye Xuan had said it was a gift.

After the conversation started, they started chatting about other things.

“Actually, I think the only meaningful thing about joining the Underworld Army is the Underworld Battlefield. That’s the main reason why I am joining them. Once you enter the Underworld Battlefield, nothing matters. There are Underworld Beasts, natural disasters, and people trying to kill each other there. That’s a haven for training yourself. After training there, I believe I will grow very quickly. Long Chen, what’s your objective for joining the Underworld Army?” Ye Xuan asked curiously.

“The Underworld Battlefield,” Long Chen answered calmly.

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he said, “That’s what I guessed too. If we get a chance, we should spar in the Underworld Battlefield. I sense that you have many strong techniques up your sleeve.”

“Of course, if we get the chance.” Long Chen was not averse to sparring.

They continued chatting until Qin Xiong stood up to announce the rules.

“A total of one-hundred-and-ninety-three people received three passes and above. After discussion between the four of us, some people will directly become Underworld Soldiers, while the remaining people will be paired up according to their numbers. They will duel, and the winner will join the army. Now, I shall announce the people who will directly become Underworld Soldiers.”

The nerve-wracking moment had arrived.

Everyone listened carefully.

After Qin Xiong finished, Long Chen’s name was not on the list. People like Jiang Jinglong and Ye Xuan had been called out, while Long Chen would need to fight the fighter whose number was next to his.

Long Chen counted. His opponent would be Song Yuchun.
