Chapter 46 Nine Hidden Dragon Fist (Part 1)
Long Yu and Ling Han moved separately, and all the way rode on the horses in the direction of Zhentian Sect.
After seven days, Long Yu finally returned to the entrance of Zhentian canyon.
Elder Yu resorted to using Zhenling and fought for enough time to allow them to flee to Zhentian Sect.
After arriving in Zhentian canyon, finally he was safe.
“Long Yu, you’re back!”
When Long Yu arrived at the entrance of Zhentian canyon, he didn’t dismount, he saw a pretty figure running out from the gorge, her face was full with the color of joy, it was actually Liao Lele!
“It is you.”
Long Yu smiled and jumped off the back of horse.
“Brother Ling Han arrived before you, we already know everything about the things happened in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest.”
Liao Lele was extremely happy: “He has come back a day before. I didn’t see you with him and thought that you wouldn’t come back.”
Regarding this happy att.i.tude of Liao Lele, Long Yu was certainly disinclined to pay any attention.
“That Qiansi Sect is really too hateful, but fortunately, our Zhentian sect’s sovereign went into action, and went to Qiansi ancestor to settle scores with them, he will definitely not let them off so easily.”
Liao Lele was brandishing her small fists. She was filled with righteous indignation regarding this matter.
“Sovereign went into action? That’s good.”
Long Yu nodded then scowled: “Have you received any news about Elder Yu?”
“No.”
Liao Lele’s face showed a gloomy look: “Yesterday, Old black went to find him, but we still haven’t received any news about him, perhaps……..”
The situation seemed quite ominous.
Long Yu secretly guessed. Elder Yu was alone and had been encircled by three enemies, so he had to depend on his amazing Zhentian hand print, Zhenling, and considering this, if he wanted to withdraw then it must not have been difficult.
But in order to stop these enemies from chasing down Long Yu and Ling Han, there was no way for Elder Yu to transmit his news.
“Boy, come up quickly.”
At this moment, old white’s voice fell into Long Yu’s ears, and he immediately turned his face towards the old white and nodded once. After greeting Liao Lele once, he went towards the peak of Zhentian canyon along the mountain road.
On the summit, he saw old white wearing a white robe, keeping his hands crossed behind his back. Bone chilling cold mountain breeze was blowing his h.o.a.ry hair like a chaotic dance and was fluttering with his white gown, making him give the seemingly appearance of an immortal.
“Young fellow, very good, Wudao seventh layer.”
Old white said without looking, he just smiled and nodded once with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Long Yu stood not far behind him, he said in a sinking voice: “It’s a pity, other fellow apprentices……….”
“I know.”
Old white turned back and waved: “You come here and sit down, I heard from that kid Ling Han that Hua Qin and Hua Yun of Qiansi Sect and Tan Jian, our strongest inner disciple, all of them collaborated to kill you, but were killed by you instead, is it true?”
“Yes, but at that time, they had a fight and were already quite injured.”
Long Yu thought and replied.
“Even if they were injured, your strength is enough and challenging a core disciple should not be a problem.”
Old white nodded with satisfaction. He didn’t regret the death of Tan Jian rather he focused his attention on the talent of Long Yu. So long as Long Yu continued to grow up and become stronger at this rate, then he would be able to play much more important role in enhancing the prestige of Zhentian Sect compared to that Tan Jian.
“There are 108 core disciples in Zhentian Sect, and so long as you challenge and defeat one of the core disciples successfully, then you will be able to become a core disciple and will also be eligible to enter the Martial Court to select and practice super grade martial skill.”
To be able to practice a super grade martial skill had a great allure to it and Long Yu was not an exception.
But, now Long Yu didn’t worry about the matter, but he just wanted to quickly absorb the stored rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng.
Once promoted to Wudao eighth layer, his ‘Nine hidden Dragon Mark’ would be able to have further transformation and it would not only increase his strength but also grant him a formidable martial skill!
Long Yu believed that the martial skill, which would be granted to him by the ‘Nine hidden Dragon Mark’, would be much more formidable than the super grade martial skills of Zhentian Sect.
“Boy, I suggest you to challenge a core disciple with a rank after the hundredth rank, it should be relatively safe.”
Old white stroked his gray beard, narrowed his eyes and said.
“Old white, I want to challenge Feng Yun.”
Long Yu suddenly said in a confident manner.
“Feng Yun?”
Old white was suddenly surprised. Feng Yun was a core disciple of tenth rank, had incessantly practiced a super grade martial skill and his fighting efficiency was outstanding!
Before going to Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, Long Yu was seriously injured by just one move of Feng Yun, and now that he came back from Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, he suddenly wanted to challenge Feng Yun?
This was nothing but indulging in fantasy.
“Boy perhaps you don’t know that Feng Yun has already recovered from his injuries, and after practicing for the last few days, he has also stepped into the Wudao ninth layer.”
Old white said in a dignified tone: “You want to challenge him but I am afraid that you still lack strength. Also, the provision of the sect is that as the first challenge, one can’t challenge the top ten core disciples, so you will have to find another target to hit upon.”
Long Yu listened to it and narrowed his eyes.
As the first challenge to become a core disciple, he couldn’t challenge the top ten disciples, and this was the rule, but he could understand the idea behind it, if not, wouldn’t the top ten disciples be too busy in meeting the challenges from others?
The top ten core disciples were the basic foundation of the sect, and they devoted most of their time in practicing, instead of accepting the challenges from others.
“Such being the case, I would challenge the 108th core disciple.”
Long Yu was somewhat disappointed, shook his head and said.
Since he couldn’t challenge Feng Yun, then challenging anyone else was almost the same for him, so he decided to challenge the 108th core disciple, he was relaxed, now the chance of winning was bigger and the most important thing was time-saving.
“Good”
Old white nodded: “I will help you in proposing that, moreover, at what time you would like to challenge?”
“Seven days later.”
Long Yu said without hesitation.
Now, the Feng clan meeting was going to be held in about a month’s time, so he must become a core disciple before that and learn a super grade martial skill so that he would be able to beat Feng Yun in the Feng clan’s gathering.
Now, Feng Yun had set his foot in the Wudao ninth layer, and his fighting skill was also terrifying.
Long Yu must be well equipped with sufficient preparation.
Long Yu only had the martial skill granted by ‘Nine hidden Dragon Mark but even that might not be enough.
When the consultation with Old white was over, Long Yu went to discuss with Ling Han.
Ling Han told him that he was ready to being his closed door training for seven days and would try to reach the Wudao eighth layer, and if he succeeded in doing so, then he would also challenge one of the core disciples with Long Yu.
They chatted for a while, and soon, Ling Han said goodbye and left to begin his closed door training.
Immediately Long Yu turned around to return to the bamboo room, and prepared to absorb the rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng, stored up in ‘Nine hidden Dragon Mark’.
