"I'll go first."
Su Xue smiled sweetly like a beautiful flower. She stretched out her slender hand and took out a wooden ball from the wooden box. She had to choose one out of the two. Fortunately, Su Xue got number four.
This meant that the ball left inside was number one.
Ever since Long Chen injured Feng Liu, everyone had already raised Long Chen's strength to the level of Jin Ling and Wu Guangyu. In the quarterfinals, Long Chen would fight against Jin Ling. Two opponents with great potential would fight on the first day. This made everyone's heart burn. Tomorrow would definitely be an exciting battle.
"Long Chen."
Jin Ling was also a little surprised. His mouth slowly curved into a smile. His face was as cold as a knife's edge. "I said we would meet, but I didn't think it would be so soon. Good, after I finish you off, I can focus on fighting Wu Guangyu on the last day."
"You're thinking too much. Try to keep your life tomorrow." Long Chen said indifferently. Then he returned to Bai Lan's side with Su Xue.
"Then let's wait and see."
Jin Ling didn't say anything else. He also led the Five Element Union's team back. To be honest, besides the battle between Long Chen and Jin Ling, two of the other three battles had already been decided. The internal battle of the Five Element Union probably wouldn't be interesting either.
"Kid, your luck has always been good. How come it's bad today?" After Long Chen returned, Lei Ji, the patriarch of the Thunder Clan, patted his chest and said with a smile.
"This isn't bad. Tomorrow, we can easily beat that guy until he pees in his pants and cries for his parents." Long Chen said with a faint smile.
Ling Xi's departure had really caused his personality to become much, much quieter.
In the past, Long Chen had developed a hooligan personality due to his constant fighting and killing. Only recently did Long Chen realize this and gradually become more cheerful. Only when he got over it did his mood improve.
Turning around, Mo Xiaolang was still standing on the Wind God's side. Seeing Long Chen looking at him, Mo Xiaolang's lips curled into a faint smile. His smile contained both encouragement and reverence.
"Let's defeat these people. Our next target will be the Three Great Emperor Regions."
Mo Xiaolang was the only person who had accompanied Long Chen on his journey.
They had known each other since Long Chen was still in Baiyang Town.
Between brothers, it was enough to exchange glances.
"When did you learn how to brag?" Su Xue looked at Long Chen with a reproachful expression.
"It's not that I've learned it, but this is my original personality. You've been blinded by my previous appearance." Long Chen grinned.
Why was he in such a good mood?
That was because he would have to go to the Emperor Regions after passing the last few trials. In just two years, Long Chen would be able to step into the Three Great Emperor Regions. It wouldn't be long before he could see Lingxi again.
At that time, Long Chen would definitely give him a great surprise.
The more he thought about meeting her, the more excited Long Chen became.
What he had been looking forward to was right in front of him. His originally silent mood also gradually recovered. His original arrogant and despotic personality also gradually circulated in his blood. This did not mean that he had become childish again. His methods were still cold and ruthless. The only thing that had changed was his mentality.
It would be a huge mistake to think that he was an impulsive and arrogant young man just because of his usual words and actions.
After experiencing so many things, not many of his enemies could see through Long Chen's thoughts.
"Alright, the battle will start tomorrow at noon. You must be tired, so let's find a place to rest first. We'll rush here tomorrow, so let's return to the Azure Wood Region."
Bai Lan was very satisfied with today's results. He smiled and said.
The people of the Wind Divine Faction and the Five Element Alliance also gradually left. The environment in the ruins was so bad that no one wanted to stay here.
Long Chen followed the Lightning Demon Faction back to the Azure Wood Region. The so-called Eternal Battlefield wasn't that big, so they quickly returned to the Azure Wood Region. By the time Bai Lan cleared the area, night had already fallen. Everyone lit a bonfire and cooked some beast meat. It was quite a lively scene for a while.
"Relax tonight. Starting tomorrow, whether or not we can obtain the final glory for our two clans and obtain the Yellow Emperor's key will depend on your performance," Bai Lan ordered.
"Don't worry, daddy. I'll definitely work hard. At the very least, the top four won't be a problem." Suxue smiled sweetly.
"Only the top four? So lacking in ambition. You're still my daughter." Bai Lan raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry.
"Alright, I know that you've placed all your hopes on me. Being in the top four is already enough for you. With Long Chen here, it's enough for me to be in the top four," said Suxue coquettishly.
"How disappointing," scolded Bai Lan with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Long Chen found a place to cultivate. He never wasted any time. Seeing Long Chen so serious, Suxue blushed. Cultivation was boring. Not everyone could do the same thing as Long Chen. Only those with a one-track mind wouldn't feel tired. Long Chen was such a person.
Even a genius warrior like Su Xue, who had reached the 9th level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm at such a young age, would feel dizzy and disgusted at the mention of cultivation for a certain period of time. However, Long Chen had never encountered this problem.
Belief was the foundation of a person's strength.
Because Long Chen had absorbed the blood of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon, his potential was basically unrivalled. But there was another important reason why he could reach this step, and that was belief.
Because of his persistent belief, he never felt tired.
If Lingxi hadn't left and he hadn't let Lingxi use the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit, Long Chen probably wouldn't have been able to reach the Earth Martial Arts Realm. It was the power of belief that allowed him to endure again and again.
To be honest, Long Chen had never been afraid of Jin Ling or Wu Guangyu. This was his confidence. It didn't mean that he was stronger than them, but his belief was incomparably strong. Most of the time, the person who was more persistent could win even if there was a small difference in strength.
"Xue 'er, what are you going to do about Long Chen?" asked Bai Lan suddenly as the father and daughter watched Long Chen cultivate.
"Nothing, he's just very hardworking. I've never seen someone like him. He cultivates every day and never stops. He's rushing to reincarnate," said Suxue.
"Not reincarnate, but to prove himself." Bai Lan nodded.
"Ah." Suxue didn't understand what Bai Lan was saying.
Bai Lan stroked her long, silky hair, her eyes full of affection. "Making him your fiancé is to protect him. I originally had the intention of matchmaking the two of you, but that fellow's heart already belongs to someone else. When it comes to love, whoever falls into it first will suffer the most. This brat is a wanderer, and sooner or later he will disappear from your sight. So it's best to be yourself and be my obedient daughter, Suxue. Understood."
"Father …" Bai Lan's words were a bit profound, but Suxue understood. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any feelings for this rascal either. It's just that my sister is a bit attached to him, so I got close to her a few times."
"That's good to hear." Bai Lan smiled and left to take care of some other matters.
The bonfire was burning, but the girl's mind was silent.
"He's a wanderer." Looking at Long Chen's figure in the darkness, Suxue was a bit lost in thought.
For Long Chen, he had just reached the eighth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, so he needed to consolidate his strength. Today's battle had used up a lot of Pure Qi, so he needed to slowly recover to deal with tomorrow's battle.
Tomorrow at noon, he would face the gold spirit.
However, there was another matter that was bothering Long Chen at the moment.
"Kitten."
"Kid, what do you need me for?"
Kitten came out of the Great Virtual World, his chubby and furry body moving around. He looked very lively.
"Today, when I was confronting Wu Guangyu at the center of the maze city, I saw an illusory Five Colored Altar behind him. Did you see it?" Long Chen asked in a low voice.
"I see it. It is indeed a mystical place. I reckon that this is a hidden restriction. Only at special times and with some special items can this restriction be unlocked. Then, some good items or a space will appear." "That's right.
"Is that so? The five-colored altar must have something to do with the five emperors. I have to go and take a look. Otherwise, it would be a waste of this discovery. Only I can see the five-colored altar, so it's a bit strange."
Kitten curled his lips and said, "You think you can leave? Bai Lan and Lei Ji are worried that you'll be killed, so they're protecting you. If you go to the city, you'll meet the people of the Wind God Sect and the Five Element Alliance. They'll kill you in the blink of an eye."
"Then you go." smiled Long Chen.
That was his goal.
"What's in it? If there's nothing in it, I won't do it." said Kitten solemnly.
"Hurry up and go take a look. What's in it for you? I'll find you a female cat and let you have some fun. What do you think?" threatened Long Chen in a low voice.
Kitten's tail shrunk and his hair stood on end. He couldn't act tough, so he could only tremble and say, "Okay, I'll go … This god's dream demon body is still young, so it's not suitable for me to have sex … But when this god grows up, you can't mistreat this god."
As he said that, Kitten's eyes were filled with tears. This pitiful and cute look would make most women fall.
