The news of Long Chen defeating Feng Wutian once again spread like a whirlwind through the Azure Clan, to the other clans, and even to the inner clans.
This time, his reputation was even more resounding. At least among the other clans, he could be considered a famous newcomer.
In the Azure Clan, his reputation had already surpassed Chu Yunyao and the others, almost at the same level as Chu Yunxi.
Liu Lan was not even thirty years old, but she was already at the peak of the Earth Core stage. She was the trump card of the Qingyang Hall at her age, and Long Chen was the trump card of the Qingyang Hall at his age.
This time, with the help of Liu Yuan's various elixirs, Feng Wutian recovered in a day. He didn't say anything and silently left the Azure Clan. Liu Yuan and the others heaved a sigh of relief because of this.
Long Chen could finally calm down and continue cultivating. The number of Thunder Flame Crystals he had fused with was still not the limit. When he fused with the 28th Thunder Flame Crystal, Liu Yuan sent someone to summon him.
"Why is this old ghost looking for me?"
It was rare for him to be able to relax. Long Chen was preparing to make another trip to the Heaven Martial Realm to make up for the contribution points, but he didn't expect Liu Yuan to summon him at this time.
Arriving at the main hall of the Qingyang Hall, only Liu Yuan was there. When he saw Long Chen, his face was full of joy as he welcomed him.
"Elder Yuan is so happy, could it be that you have a son in your old age?"
Long Chen's identity was different now, so he teased him.
Liu Yuan wasn't angry. He helplessly looked at the kid, then smiled and said: "I'll tell you a piece of great news."
"What?"
He didn't expect that there would be a surprise. Long Chen's ears immediately perked up.
Liu Yuan pretended to be mysterious and said: "Do you know what day it is on the first day of November?"
"What the hell do I know? Don't keep me in suspense. If you have something to say, hurry up and say it." Long Chen was filled with anticipation.
"The first day of November, that's the day of the Eastern Blue Dragon, which is also the day the inner clan selection begins."
"What does this have to do with me?"
Long Chen's eyes lit up as he blurted out, "Old man, don't tell me you want to tell me that my registration for the inner clan selection has passed?
Am I going to participate in the inner clan selection? "
Long Chen had always been secretly insulting the old man in his heart.
Due to his excitement, he blurted it out.
To be honest, Long Chen really wanted to enter the inner clan. Firstly, he would be able to obtain more resources. Secondly, the recent series of events made him understand the importance of status. From Dongfang Tianyu, Feng Wutian, Bei Tang Mo, and Mo Xiaolang, Long Chen knew that if he wanted to raise his head in the Lingwu family, he had to enter the inner clan.
Most importantly, Yang Lingqing had gone to Beitang Xuanwu. Long Chen was most worried that Yang Lingqing would be bullied. Therefore, he was very eager to participate in the inner clan selection.
"The inner clan, no matter what, I have to get in …"
However, he had heard from others that in order to participate in the inner clan selection, one had to be at least at the Earth Core realm. Long Chen was still at the Mortal Core realm, that's why he didn't have much hope for himself. But, from what Liu Yuan said, could it be …
"You've really earned a lot this time. That's right, I just received news that you have passed the examination. This is really out of my expectations …"
Seeing that the young Long Chen had such a fortuitous encounter, Liu Yuan felt very emotional in his heart.
After getting Liu Yuan's confirmation, Long Chen's heart was filled with joy.
"I have to grasp this opportunity well, but …" Long Chen looked at Liu Yuan and asked, "Doyen, I'm only at the Mortal Core realm, how did I pass the examination? Don't tell me they made a mistake?"
Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "I think the news of you defeating Feng Wutian must have been spread out. Although you're only at the Late Mortal Core realm, you were able to defeat an Earth Core warrior from the inner family. I think only after the examiners saw this would they recognize your potential."
Long Chen thought about it, and this was the only possibility.
"Looks like I didn't watch that Liu Ling bathing for nothing. Because I saw her bathing, she asked Feng Wutian to beat me up. In the end, Feng Wutian was defeated by me, and I was given the right to participate in the inner clan selection. The development of the world is really unexpected."
As he thought about this, Long Chen's face revealed a proud expression.
"Long Chen, don't be too happy." Liu Yuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Long Chen's head.
"Why?" He didn't understand why this old man suddenly became so serious.
Liu Yuan shook his head when he saw this kid who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. "The name list for this assessment has been completed. A total of 20 people have obtained the qualifications to participate in the inner clan selection. The Gold Clan and the Silver Clan have each taken three spots, while the other seven clans each have two spots. Our Green Clan only has you and Chu Yunxi."
"What's wrong with that?
Chu Yunxi seems to be at the Earth Core realm, I'm no match for him. "Long Chen was very clear about this.
Liu Yuan nodded his head and said, "This time, out of the 20 people, there are a total of 5 people who obtained the quota directly. Chu Yunxi is also one of them. Those who obtained the quota directly are all at the peak of the Initial Earth Core realm, and their strength is even close to Lan Er's.
As for the others who passed the examination, their strength is the lowest among those who have just broken through to the Earth Core realm, and they are all at the top. They are slightly stronger than Feng Wutian. Therefore, I can honestly say that in this inner clan selection, no matter what, you are the weakest contestant … "
Liu Yuan analyzed the situation for Long Chen. Only now did Long Chen understand why Liu Yuan told him not to be too happy.
"Elder, among the 20 people, how many can pass the inner clan selection?" If Long Chen wanted to enter the inner clan, he had to know this question.
"Two."
Liu Yuan said helplessly, "That's why I said not to be too happy. That's because, even if you obtained the spot, the difficulty of entering the inner clan is not something you can imagine. Even the famous young warrior of the Green Clan, Chu Yunxi, doesn't have the confidence to pass, let alone you."
"If that's the case, why the hell are we holding the inner clan selection? Isn't this just me going to join in the fun?" Thinking about the difficulty, Long Chen was speechless.
Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. This time, I want you to see the world and see how strong the other outer clan geniuses are. This is very important for you.
However, Long Chen, the inner clan selection also has a certain mortality rate. You better be prepared.
I don't want our Green Clan to lose a genius. "
"Is there a mortality rate?"
Long Chen felt the pressure. After all, he had already exhausted all of his means to deal with Feng Wutian. He had to contend with twenty geniuses who were stronger than Feng Wutian, and finally snatch one of the two spots. This was simply more difficult than ascending the heavens.
"Any opportunity is accompanied by danger, and this inner clan selection is the same. If you are afraid, you are destined to be unable to move forward. On the path of cultivation, the brave are number one …"
Liu Yuan stroked his long beard and said emotionally.
Long Chen was not afraid, but he felt a great pressure.
"Screw it, there is still some time until the first of November. If I work hard during this time, I should be able to advance to the next level. Even if I can't make it to the inner clan, I will at least stay alive."
This time, Long Chen was going to compete with the top geniuses of the nine outer clans.
His competitors started from Huang Xiang, then Huang Feiyang, and finally Chu Yunxi, the number one genius of the Green Clan. It was obvious how fast he had improved.
However, when he thought of the weak Ling Qing from the Inner Tribe, Long Chen knew that he had to give it his all this time!
Liu Yuan nodded in satisfaction when he saw the fighting spirit in Long Chen's eyes. However, he frowned when he thought of something else and said, "Long Chen, there's something that you're really too unreasonable about."
Long Chen had done many outrageous things, so when Liu Yuan suddenly said this, he was shocked. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the old man found out that I peeped at Liu Ling bathing? If he forced me to marry him, I will be doomed!"
Just as he was about to find an excuse, he noticed that Liu Yuan was talking about something else.
"I asked you to get 500 contribution points in exchange for the beast soul of the demonic dragon Violet Rain, but you used 300 contribution points to exchange for some useless soulgrass. What is going on?"
Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Patriarch, the soul grass is very important to me. However, it's not that I don't want Violet Rain's beast soul. I'll go to the Sky Martial Arts Realm now and earn some contribution points.
Liu Yuan was indeed a little uncomfortable. He had given something to Long Chen, and he also thought that it was very important to Long Chen. However, Long Chen did not seem to care about it. What was going on?
"Forget it."
Liu Yuan waved his hand and said, "There is not much time left until the inner clan selection. For the remaining time, focus on your cultivation.
The beast soul of the demonic dragon Violet Rain is my reward to you. "
"Really?" Long Chen was pleasantly surprised. To him, this was a matter of 100,000 Divine Jades.
Overall, this old man had treated him very well. Before this, Long Chen did not like him, but now, he was really grateful to him.
Although Liu Yuan was using him as the trump card of the Qingyang Palace, and Long Chen had become famous, his reputation would also become famous. However, a sixth rank Profound beast soul was not something that could be given out easily.
From his Cosmos Sack, Long Chen took out a Soul Gathering Pearl. The pearl had been dyed purple by the beast soul of Violet Rain. Long Chen could vaguely see a purple demonic dragon roaring within the pearl.
"Try your best to transform Violet Rain into your Divine Core Natal Beast Soul within this period of time. At that point of time, your overall strength will be greatly improved!"
Speaking of this, Long Chen had a bitter expression again. That was because he did not need to absorb the beast soul.
However, at this point of time, he had no choice but to take the beast soul from Violet Rain.
"Now, go back and cultivate. Oh right, there is one more thing …" Liu Yuan suddenly remembered something. He then told Long Chen, "Chu Yunxi will come and propose marriage to Lan'er in five days. I will arrange for you to meet each other. After all, you will form a team in the future."
