Chapter 70

"Up ahead is the external base of the Qingyang Hall of the Green Clan of the Lingwu Family, we've finally arrived!"

Seeing the grand green building before him, Huang Xiang revealed a relaxed smile. Soon, under the reception of the guards, he entered the building. His servants, after a round of farewells, left with high spirits.

Long Chen looked at the towering building but did not immediately enter. Huang Xiang had just arrived, and he did not want to meet him right away.

"I'll give you a surprise when the selection begins, the one who killed my horse, how can I possibly swallow this humiliation!"

Long Chen stood outside for a while and noticed several more people entering. Each of them was at the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm, and they were all quite young, with the youngest being about the same age as Long Chen.

It seemed that the talent of these people was not far from his own, but even so, entering the Lingwu Family would only make them ordinary outsiders. This showed just how powerful the Lingwu Family truly was!

Seeing the building and the various people inside, Long Chen felt a bit of pressure.

"Before the Lingwu Family, I feel like an ant..."

However, Long Chen did not lose his fighting spirit. On the contrary, the more challenging the environment, the more it ignited his determination.

Long Chen originally thought that only those at the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm could enter, but then he suddenly noticed that a man at the eighth level of the Dragon Vein Realm had entered simply by transforming into his beast soul.

"It seems that the requirement for beast warriors is only the eighth level of the Dragon Vein Realm, truly a stroke of luck for me!"

After waiting for a while, Long Chen finally entered. An old man guarding the entrance saw him approaching and immediately narrowed his eyes upon seeing Long Chen's age.

"Report your basic information. Follow these guidelines."

The old man with white hair pointed to a wooden board with some brief information written on it.

Long Chen took a look and said, "My name is Long Chen, I am sixteen years old, from the Baiyang Town of the Yuanling County, Yang Family. My strength is at the eighth level of the Dragon Vein Realm, but I am a beast warrior."

Being a beast warrior was something Long Chen and Ling Xi had already discussed. The people here did not know what a dragon warrior was, and Long Chen had been mistaken for a beast warrior multiple times, so he decided to just call himself a beast warrior.

"Oh?"

Hearing that he was a beast warrior, the old man with white hair scrutinized Long Chen for a moment and asked, "What is your beast soul at the Dragon Vein Realm?"

"Underground Blood Lizard."

The old man nodded and said, "A beast soul that spans five levels, not bad. Show me your beast soul transformation."

Without hesitation, Long Chen quickly used the power of his dragon soul transformation. Soon, the fine, dark red dragon scales and blood-red, sharp bone spines gradually appeared, quickly transforming him into a different form!

Seeing this fierce transformation, the old man was clearly surprised, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. "How can an Underground Blood Lizard have such a strong blood aura? It seems you obtained the soul of a beast that was about to evolve into a Blood Lizard King. Not bad luck."

Long Chen could only nod and asked, "May I ask, can I pass?"

The old man smiled faintly, looked at Long Chen for a moment, and then handed him a green wooden token. "Take this green token. As long as you pass the selection, you will be one of us in the Green Clan. This time, Qingyang Hall is selecting five people. I don't think your chances are high..."

Long Chen was taken aback. The old man then laughed brightly and said, "So you need to work even harder."

Long Chen nodded and, under the guidance of a young man behind the old man, walked through the building and arrived at a row of rooms. He chose one, and the young man said to him, "It's late today, you can stay here for the night. When it's light tomorrow, someone will take you to the selection."

Long Chen nodded, thanked the young man, and opened the door to the room. To his surprise, there was already someone inside. Long Chen was taken aback for a moment but then understood.

"It seems their rule is two people per room."

As soon as Long Chen entered, the person inside immediately looked up at him.

This was a somewhat unkempt young man, about twenty years old, very thin, but with lively eyes and a bright smile.

Seeing Long Chen, he immediately came forward, somewhat enthusiastically, and said, "Are you here to participate in the Lingwu Family's selection? Ha, I am too, my name is Liu Fengfeng, what's yours?"

Long Chen saw that although the young man was enthusiastic, his eyes revealed that he was the type who liked to take advantage of small benefits. However, Long Chen did not want to conflict with him and smiled, "My name is Long Chen."

"Long Chen? You're so young, have you already reached the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm?"

"I am a beast warrior, but only at the eighth level of the Dragon Vein Realm."

Liu Fengfeng compared himself and realized that Long Chen was not a match for him, so he lost interest. Seeing that Liu Fengfeng was not paying attention, Long Chen said a few more words and then stopped.

"Little brother Long Chen, let me tell you, if I were a beast warrior, I would definitely come at the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm. That way, the advantage would be more obvious. Now, you're just going through the motions. The Lingwu Family's selection is extremely dangerous. If you lose your life, it would be a real waste."

Putting on a big brotherly attitude, Liu Fengfeng began to lecture Long Chen with a righteous tone.

Long Chen did not comment, just smiled faintly.

Seeing that Long Chen did not listen to him, Liu Fengfeng became somewhat angry but did not want to attack Long Chen. His tone became a bit cold and hard, "You probably don't know, but the Lingwu Family's selection is a matter of life and death. Someone investigated and found that the death rate is at least one in five, and the serious injury rate is two in five. I think you have an eighty percent chance... sigh."

Seeing this guy act as if he knew everything, although Long Chen did not agree with his words, he wanted to gather information from him, so he pretended to be afraid, but in his heart, he was already cursing, "What does it matter to you whether I participate in the selection or not!"

Not in Baiyang Town, coming to this city of strong people, Long Chen felt that even cursing was not satisfying. This was not his style of living...

"Big Brother Liu, you know so much about the selection. Are you from Yuanling City?"

Liu Fengfeng immediately said proudly, "I grew up in Yuanling City and have been here for twenty years, so I know everything that happens here! Looking at your clothes, you must be from a small town, right? Those places are so poor, and everyone is like a frog at the bottom of a well. I once went to a small town where people thought that the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm was the strongest in the world. How ridiculous!"

Liu Fengfeng spoke with great enthusiasm, but when he saw that Long Chen's face showed some impatience, he secretly sneered and thought, "This kid is clearly from a small place, but his eyes are so arrogant. Tomorrow, you'll know what it means to suffer. There are mountains beyond mountains and skies beyond skies..."

"Big Brother Liu, since I've come from far away, as the local, can you tell me about Yuanling City?"

Liu Fengfeng's tone carried a hint of impatience. He combed his messy hair, took out a bronze mirror, and posed a few times, confirming that he was incredibly handsome, before saying casually, "Yuanling City, well, it's just like that, nothing worth mentioning. You think it's big, but to me, it's just normal."

"How is Yuanling City divided, and what are the major forces?" Long Chen asked, trying to suppress his urge to vomit.

Liu Fengfeng's personality was something he could barely tolerate. Underestimating him was one thing, but he was also so pretentious?

"Yuanling City is divided into four regions, East, South, West, and North. The Lingwu City of the Lingwu Family is in the East Region, and we are also in the East Region. The other three regions are the West, South, and North Regions."

"As for the major forces in Yuanling City, as everyone knows, the Lingwu Family governs the Yuanling County. However, in the West Region, the Beast Soul Temple, which governs the Yuan Emperor City, is also as powerful as the Lingwu Family. If I were a beast warrior, I would generally go to Yuan Emperor City, not Lingwu City. Yuan Emperor City is the paradise for beast warriors!"

Long Chen was surprised. He only knew that the Lingwu Family was the first family and the first force in Yuanling County, but he did not expect there to be another force that could rival it!

From what Liu Fengfeng said, and considering the opposition between Lingwu City and Yuan Emperor City in Yuanling City, the name 'Yuanling City' was formed by taking the first characters of 'Lingwu' and 'Yuan Emperor.' This meant that the Beast Soul Temple in Yuan Emperor City was a force on par with the Lingwu Family!

"I only knew about the Lingwu Family, not the Beast Soul Temple, but since I'm here, I don't plan to leave."

Liu Fengfeng saw that he was still fearless and said indifferently, "Forget it, I won't say anything more. Be careful during the selection, protect your life and your foundation. When you reach the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm, I still suggest you go to the Beast Soul Temple. That's where beast warriors should go."

Long Chen did not want to be too disrespectful, so he nodded and said, "If I don't get into the Lingwu Family this time, I'll go to the Beast Soul Temple."

Liu Fengfeng nodded and said, "I see you're young and don't want you to take the wrong path. If you can understand my good intentions, that would be great!"

Long Chen did not think he had any good intentions, just boasting about his authority and broad knowledge.

"By the way, Big Brother Liu, do you know the Crimson Blood Holy Sect?"

Long Chen wanted to get information about the Crimson Blood Holy Sect from Liu Fengfeng, but to his surprise, the young man was taken aback and said, "What sect? I've never heard of it. It's probably a minor force. Only people from small places like yours would be scared by such minor forces. Let me tell you, there are three major forces in Yuanling City: the Lingwu Family, the Beast Soul Temple, and the Dawn Alliance. The Dawn Alliance's influence spans the South and North Regions, and even the East and West Regions. In terms of martial power, the Dawn Alliance is not as strong as Lingwu City and Yuan Emperor City, but in terms of resources and wealth, it is quite substantial!"

"The Dawn Alliance?"

Long Chen really did not expect the Dawn Alliance to be such a massive force!
