"Yeah, with his shocking performance, it shouldn't be a problem for him to get the first four passes," Ye Xuan said extremely confidently.
He obviously hoped that Long Chen would join the Netherworld Army. After all, Long Chen had once saved his life.
Of course, there was also someone who did not wish for Long Chen to join the Netherworld Army at all, and that was Song Yuchun. Long Chen's performance before had truly blinded him. Long Chen's sudden eruption of strength had completely stunned him. Afterwards, he imagined that if Long Chen's attack had landed on him, he would probably have been the one shattered.
"Impossible. How can this kid be so powerful? I can't let him join the Netherworld Army."
Thinking up to here, he hurriedly urged the Nether Soldier beside him to convey his intentions to his grandfather. The Nether Soldier was sent by Song Yang to serve him. Although he was somewhat unwilling to run errands, he couldn't dissuade Song Yuchun.
At this moment, everyone was waiting for the evaluation of the four examiners.
Same as before, Qi Bing first. She looked at Long Chen in admiration and said, "Kid, not bad. Even I can't tell what methods you use to hide your presence. No matter what your strength is, your usage of God Tier Battle Skill and God Tier Weapon are both extremely perfect. Also, your comprehension of the Way of the Sword should have reached a relatively deep level. It's not bad to have such strength at such a young age. There's no reason for you to not pass."
Qi Bing's evaluation caused an uproar among the crowd.
That evaluation was just too high. It could be described as the highest evaluation in history.
Didn't this mean that Long Chen would definitely enter the next stage? Moreover, he might even be able to pass with four.
After Qi Bing finished speaking, it was the second examiner's turn to speak. The examiner had a smile on his face as he said, "Qi Bing is right, you have great potential. You've performed perfectly in all aspects. Amongst the participants here, there aren't many who can kill the Violet Lightning Giant in one move. My answer is naturally to pass."
As long as he received one more pass, Long Chen would be able to advance.
Everyone's expectant gazes landed on the third examiner. Some were excited, while others were worried.
The third examiner was looking at Long Chen with a smile on his face. At that moment, Song Yang's mouth moved. No one knew what he said, but the examiner's expression immediately changed. He hesitated for a while, then looked at Long Chen with a cold expression and said, "I saw your performance just now. You must have used some special methods. You don't look young, but you are only in the fourth Heaven realm. Compared to other people, you are much lower. You are fated to not have any achievements. I've thought about it over and over again, and I still can't let someone like you, who has almost used up all his potential, become a member of the Netherworld Army."
His words immediately caused a huge uproar.
The examiner's words were pleasant to hear, but they were actually bullsh * t. Long Chen clearly performed very well, but he used such a dignified reason. Clearly, he was twisting words and forcing logic.
Many people thought of themselves and felt a bit unconvinced. Long Chen's performance was who knew how many times better than Song Yuchun's. Even Song Yuchun could pass, so why couldn't Long Chen pass?
Of course, there was still Song Yang.
But just at that moment, Song Yang angrily rebuked, "All of you, shut up. As examiners, everyone has their own opinions. If anyone doubts our decision, get the hell out."
After speaking, he coldly looked at Long Chen and said, "No matter what, this person is only in the fourth level of the Heaven Martial Realm. At his age, the soldiers of the Netherworld Army are at least in the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm. Everyone, if it isn't because his potential has been exhausted, then what is it? Perhaps you can't see the difference now, but in ten years, he will definitely be left far behind by others. It's fine if this kind of person doesn't join the Netherworld Army. So, my decision is to not pass."
Both examiners didn't allow Long Chen to pass. That meant that Long Chen couldn't join the Netherworld Army.
How could Long Chen not know that? It was clearly Song Yuchun who told Song Yang to make such a decision.
"Number 380, you can get the hell out of here. Next person, come up."
After saying that, Song Yang took a deep breath and waved his hand at Long Chen. He didn't even look at Long Chen.
However, he had underestimated Long Chen. What was wrong with Long Chen? He was someone who could be easily bullied. If he wanted to join the Netherworld Legion, no one would be able to stop him, not even the four examiners.
Even though they were examiners, thousand-men commanders of the God Martial Realm, the Netherworld Army wasn't decided by Song Yang.
When Song Yang told Long Chen to leave, Long Chen didn't leave. He looked around and suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter attracted everyone's attention.
"Actually, I know why Senior Song Yang eliminated me. I'm sure you all want to know."
Long Chen looked very relaxed.
Song Yang glared at him. What did this kid know?
Long Chen didn't stop and continued, "Previously, I offended a person called Song Yuchun. He's the warrior who fought against the Grass Mud Horse that was passed by the three examiners. This Song Yuchun seems to have a grandfather called Song Yang. I'm sure you all understand what I mean. Since the Netherworld Army is like this, it's fine if I, Long Chen, don't come. Do you all think that this selection is interesting?"
Long Chen's meaning was very clear.
As long as one was a cultivator, they would at least have this bit of wisdom. As a cultivator, they didn't have their own guts. If there was only one person, he wouldn't dare to rebel. However, when thousands of people felt that it was unfair, their anger would gather together and form a powerful momentum.
Long Chen was right. This selection was about fairness. Without fairness, even if one had the strength, he wouldn't be able to join the Netherworld Army. Then what was the point of joining the Netherworld Army?
"Who supports me?" Long Chen raised his arm and looked at everyone with sparkling eyes.
At this moment, everyone stood up from their seats and stared furiously at Song Yang in the sky.
"It's actually so unfair. Those with strength can't enter, but those without strength can. I'm not participating in the Netherworld Army."
"I'm not participating either. What's the point? I'd rather be a city guard. The treatment is good, and I don't have to suffer."
"Yes, I'm not participating either. Let me out."
Thousands of people had come, but there were only a hundred slots. In truth, many people had come to try their luck. Now that they saw such an unfair situation, and that someone was taking their slots away, it was like a rolling snowball. Furious voices rang out, and the entire Coliseum became noisy.
Being drowned by so many curses, even Song Yang couldn't keep his face. The three examiners were also sitting there, feeling uneasy.
Ever since they became chiliarchs and became the upper echelons of the Netherworld Army, they had never been so embarrassed.
Today, Song Yang's face had been torn apart by Long Chen. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to attack Long Chen without saying anything. At that moment, Long Chen suddenly turned into a bloody light and fled to stand with the other cultivators. Song Yang's attack landed on the ground. The power of the Divine Martial Realm made the ground tremble violently.
"You flew into a rage out of humiliation and tried to silence me. A chiliarch of the Netherworld Army can actually become a chiliarch of the Netherworld Army with such low quality. This is really an eye-opener for me."
Long Chen's words not only infuriated Song Yang, but also disheartened everyone.
Song Yang's face became incomparably pale. Today's matter had a very serious impact on the prestige of the Netherworld Army. If this matter became too big, Song Yang would definitely be killed by the higher echelons. The Netherworld Army was famous for its military discipline. His actions had tarnished the image of the Netherworld Army in the capital city of specters, and perhaps even more. Wasn't this purely courting death?
"Song Yang, it's all your fault." The chiliarch who had previously blocked Long Chen with Song Yang said angrily.
"How can you blame me? You can only blame that kid. Motherf * cker, I actually couldn't kill him in one go."
"If you kill him, everyone will definitely leave today. Our Netherworld Army won't be able to recruit any new blood for the next few years. At that time, even if you have a strong backer, Marshal Sumo will still kill you."
Song Yang felt a lingering fear.
"Then what should I do?"
Song Yang didn't know what to do. It could be said that Long Chen's performance was not only heaven-defying, but also too audacious. If it was anyone else, they wouldn't have dared to say such words here.
Surrounded by countless angry participants, the chiliarch smiled bitterly and said to Ye Xuan, "This friend of yours really knows how to cause trouble, but I like it very much."
"Yes, I'll have to trouble Grandpa He."
"Don't call me grandpa, I can't afford to be the city lord's younger brother. I'm working for Marshal Sumo. If he knew that you called me grandpa, he would directly swallow me alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's figure directly appeared in the air above the colosseum. Now that he was flying in the air, it proved that he was an expert of the God Martial Realm.
Suddenly, a God Martial Realm expert had appeared, and he was even a bit older. When the others saw this, they all had a premonition that this was a big shot.
Sure enough, a huge aura descended, that old man was like a god. The angry youths gradually shifted their gazes towards the old man, their eyes filled with curiosity.
