Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Dispute
The young man's face sank hearing Yao Brat, and the female's face turned red hearing dear Min.
'This bastard/rogue old man,' Both of them thought at the same time, looking at the old Zeng angrily,
Yao then glanced at Lin Lee and the white cloud deeply. 'This old man is extremely cunning; he gifted such an expensive item to score a good impression in this candidate heart,' he thought and then sighed.
'Such potential is amazing; unfortunately, our sect only recruits female disciples, or I would have invited him.' Min thought and then sighed in pity.
The old man became speechless looking at both of them. 'Why are these two young people smiling like me?' He thought confusedly,
On the other hand, Lin Lee opened his eyes; his eyes brightened.
'I didn't expect this heavenly cloud to be a top great immortal treasure with two-color crystal; the crystal property is somehow changed and merged with the cloud to create this heavenly cloud.
This old man is really generous, giving me such an expensive item, but there must be some motives behind his gesture; no one is so kind in these upper realms; I already know that.' He thought and then controlled the expansion and contraction of the cloud; he then adjusted it according to his convenience.
"Hello, I am Yao Long from Ziwei sect, and I am Min Die from Diwei sect." Both representatives introduced themselves one by one.
Lin Lee was startled, raised his head, and glanced at the two new figures beside the old man. "Hi, I am Lin Lee from Spirit Island. Nice to meet you, Mr. Yao, and Miss Min."
'Ziwei and Diwei sect are they related somehow; their names are so matching.' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at both of them.
"Kid, you can call them Mr. and Mrs. Yao; they are going to be husband and wife." The old man suddenly reminded untimely,
Lin Lee was surprised looking at both of them, seeing Yao smile and Min's face turn a little red.
'It seems the connection between both sects is deep.' Lin Lee thought and then didn't care, then glanced at the old man.
"Did I pass the trial?" He asked again calmly,
"Well, you have passed; let's go; you should stay with us before the other eleven candidates return." The old man said and flew away; Yao and Min also followed him; Lin Lee crossed legged on the white cloud and then followed them.
After a while, they appeared outside the trial area near the other three figures.
"How many candidates are remaining?"
The old man suddenly asked, looking at the three figures,
"Old Leng, Three hundred twenty-five candidates are remaining, yet only ten great monsters have been encountered; although the quantity of candidates is higher in this trial, they are extremely weak in quality." The figure in the middle opened his eyes, replied in a burley and cold voice, then glanced at Lin Lee, fell silent, and added, "Some candidates are exceptions."
He spoke and then patted his palm and closed his eyes again. While the other two sitting beside him were concentrating from the beginning,
Lin Lee glanced at them and then asked the old Leng beside him, "Wouldn't you lose the potential candidates like this? I remember there were thousands of candidates before."
"Ha ha ha, don't worry, kid, their families can resurrect them again, but the first trial is about the fortune and luck of the candidates; if they don't have the standard fortune and luck, then their potential is of no use. It's the first criteria of success in heaven." Old Leng laughed hearing Lin Lee's question and started rubbing his goatee.
Lin Lee was startled and became thoughtful. 'Resurrection? Fortune and luck? Is resurrection so easy here? Also, this old guy is right; if you don't have fortune and luck, then no amount of potential and lifespan will work.'
Instantly, he felt something and closed his eyes; a special rhythm spread from his body toward the surroundings.
All six figures opened their eyes wide and glanced at Lin Lee sitting cross-legged on the heavenly cloud with a special rhythm flowing around him.
'Epiphany, this kid's potential and luck reached an unimaginable level; even I can't comprehend it, but such potential will make everyone jealous.'
Old Leng's eyes brightened up, and then his brow furrowed. Looking at the other five candidates, Yao, Min, and the Buddhist middle-aged man were silently looking at him; the remaining two became envious.
Just after old Leng sighed in relief that no one wants to disturb the Lin Lee epiphany, a shining light reflected toward the old Leng pupil, and his expression changed.
'It's bad; this brat is attracting hatred.' Old Leng thought, turned, and glanced at the small flying sword that flew beside him, aiming at the forehead of Lin Lee.
…
Few minutes earlier, inside the great yellow forest,
Other candidates encountered the great monsters one by one; some even defeated the monsters in groups and found the trial stone after killing each other.
On the other side of the forest,
"Damn, I haven't encountered such a thick skin before, although it's thinner than mine." Huang Wei muttered angrily while panting heavily, looking at the dead body of rhinoceros. The black scales from his neck and arms are receding slowly.
Then he glanced at the hidden cave entrance and then looked around and a deep breath muttered, "I wonder how that Lee guy is doing now; did he get the stone or not?" After speaking, he went inside the cave.
In another area,
Ling Long grabbed her arm, looking at the dead candidates hanging inside vines, and then she glanced at the remaining final candidate,
"Damn Ling Long, how dare you kill my subjects?" The candidate cursed looking at her; the next moment his expression froze, and hundreds of vines pierced through his body, like a hodgepodge.
The jade green mana layer dissipated from Ling Long's body; her brow furrowed. 'It seems I can't use my mana constantly. I have to heal my arm quickly; something is suppressing my regeneration powers.' She thought, feeling the surging pain in her arm,
Then she glanced at the direction of the hidden cave and walked toward it.
On the other hand,
"Hurry up, find the cave around; I want that trial stone before Huang Wei bastard." Young master Teng ordered, looking at his minions injured lying around,
"Also, skin this monster; I want to eat it; it looks delicious," he ordered greedily, looking at the huge blue pentasaurus-shaped monster lying dead on the ground.
…
Return to the executive area,
Old Leng glanced at the small flying sword passing him and aimed at the direction of the Lin Lee forehead.
He raised his hand, just wanting to stop the attack. The Buddhist middle-aged man disappeared from his place and appeared beside the old Leng, grabbing his wrist. "Old Leng, tell me truthfully; you also knew that he is an ascender."
Old Leng's expression froze, then he sighed, nodded, shook back the Buddhist sect representative arm, and said solemnly, "Our fortune sect will hire him."
Clang!!!
Instantly, all six of them heard a metal collision sound. They turned glanced at the Lin Lee direction solemnly, looking at the dark liquid-shaped ring rotating around him, stopping the flying sword. Sparks flashed between their collisions.
"Well, well, rumors are true; all these ascenders really have weird things, lucky bastards." The young representative who attacked Lin Lee just now spoke; five more flying swords are floating around him.
"Li Ning, you should stop; don't attack him again; our fortune sect is going to recruit him." Old Leng instantly said, looking at the Young representative,
"Are you sure, Old Leng? Don't forget the fortune lord is just one of the 36 heavenly lords; he can't handle everything alone." Li Ning asked playfully, looking at him,
"Our Diwei and Ziwei sect also want to recruit him; you should stop attacking him."
Yao and Min both appeared beside the Old Leng and spoke firmly.
The rest of the three representatives were surprised looking at Old Leng, Yao, and Min, then the middle-aged representative from the Buddhist sect said, "Leave him alone, Li Ning; we can't offend three lords for a mere ascender."
"Well, if you all want to do that, then it's fine. I will stop, but I will report it to the heavenly sword lord." Li Ning spoke, glanced at them deeply, then shrugged his shoulders with a smile and retracted his flying swords.
The nanobots protection circle around Lin Lee was also quite down; everyone glanced at him deeply, then turned and looked in the direction of trial ground.
"Well, almost all stones are discovered; it's time to recruit the disciples. Keep in mind each of you can hire only two disciples as we agreed; don't be greedy." The Buddhist sect executive spoke solemnly; others nodded calmly.
While the old man was looking at Lin Lee thoughtfully, 'I hope it's the right decision to offend those guys for this brat.'
Old Leng thought and then sighed, sat cross-legged on the heavenly cloud in front of Lin Lee, closed his pupils, spread his consciousness, and started tracking the progress of other candidates.
