"Haha, it"s been three years, and you finally caught one. Shen Longxuan, your luck is really good.

Ga!

To be able to catch a fish in three years, you sure are patient. You should be able to catch a lot from the water, right?

"Do you think it"s foolish to fish for a single fish in three years? Actually, fishing is not for the sake of fish, it"s just a form of fishing. It"s actually fishing for oneself!"

The middle-aged man could actually guess what he was thinking about and even said some weird words. He seemed to understand a bit, but also seemed to not understand a bit.

While he was thinking, the middle-aged man had already put away his fishing rod and washed the fish clean with the fish basket. With a wave of his hand, the stove was still on fire. The water in the pot had already boiled over.

The middle aged man scattered all sorts of seasonings and a few flowers and herbs, making him look very refined. Finally, he put the fish into the pot, and suddenly, an aroma that made people salivate drifted out. Shen Longxuan"s fingers moved.

He anxiously looked at the fish in the pot. He remembered that the Swordteeth Fish was a rare delicacy, but compared to this ba.s.s fish, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

"Senior, where is this?" What do you need me to do, to teleport me here? " Shen Longxuan asked curiously.

"Haha, boy, let"s talk after we finish the fish. This is a rare delicacy!" The middle-aged man quickly turned into two bowls of fish soup and handed one bowl to Shen Longxuan.

Shen Longxuan swore that this was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life, he almost swallowed his own tongue. The two of them snored for a short while, and the pot of fish and soup was completely gone, to the point where he did not even spit out the bones.

Ahh ~

After burping comfortably, the two of them were satisfied. The middle-aged man brewed another pot of tea and the fragrance of the tea wafted in the air.

Shen Longxuan suddenly had a feeling that he did not want to leave. Everything here was beautiful, it really made people forget about it, and savor it.

That"s not right!

He shook his head violently and was jolted awake!

This was not a seductive method, but a natural attraction. Every blade of gra.s.s in this world, every flower, every blade of gra.s.s, all gave off a unique charm.

including the middle aged man in front of him, it was as if he had already merged with this world, it was truly mystical, Shen Longxuan exclaimed in his heart.

He still had more important things to do, and the promise of his father had not been completed yet. He had yet to fulfill his vow to stand at the peak of the continent, so what right did he have to live such a life?

He shifted his gaze to the middle-aged man. This time, he did not even bother to speak as the middle-aged man sipped some tea and spoke slowly.

"Little fellow, not bad. You already know how to wake up so quickly and aren"t entranced by this world. This means that your will is not weak and your soul force is extremely strong."

To be honest, you have won a hundred consecutive rounds in the Scorching Valley"s fighting arena, which is why you were teleported here. You are the only one to be teleported here in the past two hundred years.

This means that you have the qualifications to become a candidate in the Valley Lord, but you are only a candidate.

In other words, the next Valley Lord, more than two hundred years ago, there was a Heaven"s Pride who had obtained this qualification.

When the middle-aged man said till here, he stopped and took another sip of tea. Shen Longxuan interrupted: "Senior, is the test difficult?"

"It"s not hard for me to know either, because I"ve never partic.i.p.ated in it either. It"s just that at that time, that person"s cultivation was already at the Peak of Martial King Stage and he still fell."

After the middle aged man finished speaking, Shen Longxuan took a deep breath. If the Peak of Martial King Stage had already fallen, then it was impossible for him to pa.s.s.

"Don"t be afraid, I didn"t tell you to complete the test right now. The reason I asked you to come today is to tell you about Scorching Valley"s origins and responsibilities. Do you want to hear about them?"

The middle-aged man blandly asked, but did not wait for Shen Longxuan"s reply, and continued: "Scorching Valley was originally born from a burning meteoric iron that flew from the sky.

Furthermore, this piece of meteoric iron had not been completely used up. For the past thousand years, it had been burning at the bottom of the sea, and the Scorching Beast in the valley were also made by the meteoric iron.

Therefore, a thousand years ago, my Dragon Martial Sect"s ancestors did not hesitate to waste their cultivation and sealed the meteoric iron. It was the light curtain that you saw in the Mission Area.

And the responsibility of being a Valley Lord, is to protect this seal and find a fated person to refine this meteoric iron.

Shen Longxuan was startled when he heard it. A meteoric iron could nurture a life, no wonder a Scorching Beast would turn into a crystal-like demon core after death.

The middle-aged man sighed and continued.

"In the end, the three major sects had no choice but to establish a force in the Scorching Valley in order to eliminate the Scorching Beast s that walked out of the seal. Even though there are only around the third stage Scorching Beast s that walked out of the seal, within the seal, there are also quite a few fourth stage and Fifth Rank s.

Therefore, the earlier he refined this piece of meteoric iron, the better. All these years, the Three Sects had always been searching for a fated person to become the owner of the meteoric iron, but had never succeeded.

The reason why these hundred round of Challenge Compet.i.tion was set up was to choose a genius who could challenge those above his level. It was because the best time to refine this meteoric iron was between the Martial Master Stage and the Martial Master Stage.

That meteoric iron seemed to have intelligence, it could not even get close to the Martial King Stage"s cultivation, as long as it could sense it, it would self-destruct, and that would be too dangerous.

The energy it contains, if it were to explode, would cause our continent to collapse. Furthermore, the seawater would flow back into the land, and even our sects would be flooded.

There will be hundreds of millions of lives lost, and Maritime Demon will flood again. The consequences are unimaginable! "

Hiss ~

Shen Longxuan was truly shocked, he never thought that the Scorching Valley would hide such a big secret.

Seeing Shen Longxuan"s reaction, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Now you know the importance of Scorching Valley. To ordinary disciples, this is h.e.l.l.

To you, this is a paradise. Moreover, if you refine this piece of Heavenly meteoric iron, you might get another great opportunity.

"How about it? Do you have the confidence to issue a challenge?"

Although Shen Longxuan knew that this middle-aged man was instigating him, he was still a person with great ambitions. Not to mention the great benefits he could receive, even his faith in living for the entire world was enough for him to give it a try.

"I want to take a look!" Shen Longxuan said indifferently.

"Alright, this old man admires young man who dares to be so bold. You must have heard of my name before, Duan Jinghun. If you have any trouble that you can"t resolve in the future, you can come and find me."

Duan Jinghun said excitedly: "This matter can"t be delayed, let"s go immediately!"

With one hand, he pulled Shen Longxuan into the air and took a step forward, as if he had traveled across an unlimited distance. He only felt that there was a strange glow in front of his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, his eyes lit up.

What entered his line of sight was a sea of fire. In the deepest depths of the flames was a giant stone that was enveloped in a purple halo of light.

If not for Shen Longxuan"s soul force increasing by several times, it would be very difficult to detect. Scorching Beast s began to materialize one after another from the flames, and were initially only the size of a fist.

However, after continuously devouring the flames and quickly growing up, they rushed to the periphery. Behind them, there were already an uncountable number of Scorching Beast.

It was as Duan Jinghun had said, there were quite a few super Scorching Beast of the fourth stage and Fifth Rank that were emitting an endless pressure as they slowly walked amidst the herd of beasts.

But under the cover of Duan Jinghun"s cultivation, they were completely unable to detect the two.

Actually, even if there wasn"t any test, he would still have come here. This was because the silver ring on his finger was emitting a faint glow at this moment.
