"This little guy is going all out."
Long Chen looked at the crazily advancing youth in front of him and smiled speechlessly. He could tell that Zhao Wuji was very concerned about the results of the competition.
"I didn't want to cause any trouble at first, but for the sake of 100,000 Heavenly Connecting Pills, I'm willing to offend you. Everything depends on strength, so a loss is a loss." Long Chen thought to himself.
The pressure that Dark Prison gave him wasn't small. However, it wasn't Long Chen's limit yet. With his current powerful body, he would need to walk at least twice the distance before he would reach his limit.
Therefore, Zhao Wuji was no match for him at all.
Therefore, at the last moment, Long Chen increased his pace again. Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, he quickly overtook Zhao Wuji. In a very short period of time, the distance between him and Zhao Wuji grew bigger and bigger, until it was impossible for Zhao Wuji to catch up.
Looking at Long Chen's rapidly advancing figure, Zhao Wuji's eyes turned red.
"Impossible, his True Qi is obviously not strong. Impossible, I'll give it my all. Maybe I'll have a chance to beat him."
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji let out another angry roar, which made his face look somewhat hideous. He panted heavily and increased his speed with all his might.
Unfortunately, he overestimated his strength. When he was putting his life on the line, his speed was indeed very fast, but towards the end, he suddenly realized that he could no longer withstand the gravity. That huge force was like a mountain, crushing him to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red.
"Argh!"
No matter how hard Zhao Wuji struggled, he could not stand up again. He could not believe that he had lost just like that, and he did not even know who he had lost to.
"Who is this guy? How dare he steal my glory? I promised my uncle that I would win three consecutive championships, but this is only the first round, and I've already lost."
Zhao Wuji could not believe that this was the truth. He was still struggling with all his might, and the veins on his body were popping out.
And at this moment, he suddenly saw a pair of feet appearing in front of him. Raising his head, he saw the beast warrior with blood-red scales standing in front of him. Those blood-red eyes were staring at him coldly.
Zhao Wuji was lying in front of him.
That cold gaze was an endless insult to Zhao Wuji. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode as he glared back at Long Chen. He wanted to curse, but the immense gravity made it hard for him to even open his mouth.
On the other hand, Long Chen, who was standing in front of him, was able to walk around with ease.
Long Chen raised his head at this moment because he saw the Wind God Demon General standing behind Zhao Wuji. He carefully examined Long Chen with his black eyes and nodded, "Looks like your Body Refining Battle Skill should be of the Advanced Heaven Tier. Very good, the champion of the first trial is none other than you."
"Thank you for the compliment." Long Chen nodded with a chuckle. The smile on his face after his dragon soul transformation looked a little sinister.
The Wind God Demon General nodded and then his voice penetrated the entire Dark Prison.
"The first trial is over. Disciples of the Ancient Demon Region, record the depth of the 7,000th disciple. Those who can exceed the standard will be able to enter the next trial. Those who can't reach that depth will be eliminated."
The Wind God Demon General's words signified the end of the first trial.
"Those who have successfully passed the first trial, follow me to the Ancient Demon Region. You will have half an hour to rest there. After that, you will be ready for the second trial."
"Yes."
Those who still had strength left and had confirmed that they had passed the first trial said happily.
Under the arrangement of the Wind God Demon General, everyone began to walk back. Those who couldn't walk were carried away. The Ancient Demon Region didn't lack disciples. Therefore, it didn't take long for 80,000 people to leave the Ancient Demon Region. Among these 80,000 people, there were 70,000 people who were depressed because they had been eliminated.
Being eliminated meant that their dreams of many years had been destroyed.
"Let's go. We didn't pass this time. We won't have another chance in the future."
"The Ancient Demon Region is just a dream after all. Ordinary people like us should just stay outside."
"That's right. Such a big force is not a place that small people like us can dream about."
"Only seven people can enter from 80,000 people. Such a rule is so cruel."
Of course, there were also people who were eager to come again next year. After all, the Ancient Demon Region held a selection battle every year. They had a chance every year.
As soon as Long Chen came out of the Ancient Demon Region, he became the center of attention. Everyone knew that he was the abnormal warrior who had surpassed Zhao Wuji. According to Long Chen's information, Long Chen was only at the first level of the Reaching Heaven State.
If he could get such a result at the first level of the Reaching Heaven State, it meant that Long Chen was really nature-defying.
At that moment, many people were talking about Long Chen.
"This guy is only at the first level of the Reaching Heaven State. I heard that he has mastered an advanced Heaven-level body-refining fighting skill. What a freak!"
"That's true. He has such a strong body. The first round was designed for him. However, I don't think he will have an easy time in the following rounds. After all, the second and third rounds are not just a test of the body."
"Besides, didn't you see his age? He is at least seventeen or eighteen years old. He is only at the first level of the Reaching Heaven State at seventeen or eighteen years old. Look at Zhao Wuji, he is only fourteen years old, but he is already at the fourth level of the Reaching Heaven State. The gap between them is huge. Maybe Jiang Cheng can surpass Zhao Wuji with his strong body now, but in the future, he will definitely be left far behind."
"That makes sense."
The people next to him all agreed and nodded their heads.
In this selection, the most outstanding people were those who were young but had high realms.
In the distance, Zhao Wuji was also looking at Long Chen with a gloomy expression.
"This guy, isn't he the one that Ma Liu said beat him up? You have to look at the owner before you beat a dog. Not only did he not take me seriously, he even humiliated me just now. He is so detestable. How dare he be so arrogant in front of me, Zhao Wuji, when he is only at the first level of the Reaching Heaven State."
The more Zhao Wuji thought about it, the angrier he became. Especially when he saw Long Chen talking and laughing with Huangfu Qi, as if nothing had happened. He became even angrier.
"Jiang Cheng, you're called Jiang Cheng, right? Let's wait and see. This is only the first round. You've gained a huge advantage by relying on your Body Refining Battle Skill. Next, you'll know what a true expert is."
Long Chen could obviously feel Zhao Wuji's resentful gaze.
However, he did not take it seriously.
A mere fourteen year old brat was not enough to make him feel fear.
"Big brother, you were so awesome just now."
Huangfu Qi's eyes were full of stars. Long Chen had done something that even she had failed to do. Huangfu Qi had been worried that Long Chen would not be able to enter the Ancient Demons Area and that she would be separated from Xiao Lang. Now it seemed that she did not need to worry anymore.
Long Chen smiled embarrassedly.
At that moment, the remaining seven thousand people had started to enter the Ancient Demons Area under the arrangement of the disciples of the Ancient Demons Area.
The entrance of the Ancient Demons Area was partly the Dark Prison. Only the other path led to the real Ancient Demons Area. After Long Chen and the others had passed through the narrow path, a huge square appeared in front of them. The ground of the square was paved with black crystals. Although it was black, it looked transparent and dazzling.
The huge square was big enough to accommodate all seven thousand people.
Long Chen raised his head. The first thing he saw was that there were seven huge black pillars in front of him. Each of the black pillars had a diameter of more than one and a half meters and a height of more than twenty meters. They were like seven pillars that supported the sky, standing in the middle of the square.
On the surface of each black pillar, there were many carvings. These carvings were of beasts. Long Chen guessed that these should be some powerful demonic beasts.
These black pillars gave Long Chen a strange feeling. Long Chen guessed that it was possible that the second test would be about these seven pillars.
At that moment, a total of seven thousand people had already stood in the square.
At the forefront, the Wind God Demon General's body floated in the air. He said loudly, "Now, you have about three quarters of an hour to rest. During this time, we will give you the rewards for the first test. When there is only fifteen minutes left, I will tell you the rules of the second test and the rewards for the second test."
"Yes, sir," the crowd replied.
Next, it was time to distribute the Supreme Elixirs. The top seven thousand people would each get twenty Supreme Elixirs. Huangfu Qi was ranked third, so she got two thousand Supreme Elixirs. She didn't even look at them and just stuffed them into her pocket. It was obvious that she didn't care about these Supreme Elixirs at all.
Under the envious eyes of many people, Long Chen got ten thousand Supreme Elixirs. It felt good to get so many Supreme Elixirs out of nowhere. Long Chen quietly put away the Supreme Elixirs. He suddenly felt his scalp go numb, because he felt that many strong people were looking at him.
He raised his head and looked behind the seven pillars. Actually, there were more than ten people dressed like the Wind God Demon General. They were standing there and looking at the crowd coldly. When Long Chen got the ten thousand Supreme Elixirs, everyone looked at Long Chen.
"These people are probably one of the twenty-eight Demon Generals of the Ancient Demon Area. They have all opened the First Heaven Aperture and reached the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm. They are really strong."
Long Chen was secretly shocked. He knew that with his current strength, these Demon Generals were out of his reach.
Each Demon General could easily kill Long Chen.
Strong people were everywhere. This was the Ancient Demon Area.
