When Xiao Chen reached halfway, he used his Divine Sense to sweep backward and noticed that Xiao Wan'er dared not to step on the chain. He shook his head and sighed. He went back, held her slim waist with his arm, and then smoothly went to the other end.
"How can he do this?! This is cheating! His score must be deducted!" The crowd clamored again.
The disciple on the ground coughed and said, "They are a group, so this is not cheating."
A moment later, Xiao Chen landed on the opposite cliff. Xiao Han looked at them coldly and said, "You're so slow. I thought that you fell off."
Xiao Chen smiled gently and put Xiao Wan'er down. She blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Cousin Xiao Chen, thank you..."
She had never expected that she had to ask a favor from a man who she used to look down on.
Four hours later, every participant had reached to the other cliff. Without a doubt, Xiao Chen and the other two p
In fact, this cave was also a dreamland, but it was equipped with Qimen Dunjia Formation. As long as one broke the formation, he could be teleported to the other end. It was dark inside the cave, but there was a dim light from the formation. The path was constantly changing. Sometimes sharp stones fell from above, and sometimes a stone wall might suddenly appear to block one's way. The most dangerous situation was that the ground would suddenly become a bottomless abyss. Many people went round and round and then showed up in a dead-end which indicated that he was eliminated. Some people were scared and lost their bearings. When they reached the place where they set off, they were angry and kept cursing. However, Xiao Chen was an expert at formation, and this complex and dangerous Qimen Dunjia Formation was just a children's maze game to him. He turned three steps into two steps, moved horizontally and then jumped vertically, and casually broke through this formi
"My respects, Senior Sister Luo! My name is Xiao Chen!" Luo Shanyan was slightly surprised as she raised her head to look at him. Softly, she murmured, "H-Hello... Junior Brother Xiao." Her head drooped swiftly down again. Everyone was stunned. As the leading candidate, joining Mo Yu would be the best course of action for him. But what was he doing? Did he not want to complete the trials and fully become a disciple? A few of the other Inner Disciples noticed Mo Yu's frosty glare and hastily spoke on Xiao Chen's behalf, "If some of you can go to Senior Sister Luo for the sake of balance." Xiao Wan'er stomped her feet in anger and said, "Hey! We came here together! Why are you not with us!" "It's probably... Because he once shared a similar fate to hers..." Xiao Han mumbled suddenly. But as directed by the Inner Disciple earlier, three other people reluctantly came to join Luo Shangyan. This ma
The heads of the silent pair, roused from their stupor, raised curiously. It was Shangguan Yan who was talking in her sleep. They shared a quick chuckle. The deep-asleep Shangguan Yan continued, "Bite him, Xiao Hei! Yes! That is it! Bite him! He who is so stingy that even forbids me from touching his zither..." Xiao Chen's face fell, did she even dream of sicking her vermins on him? He rose to his feet and straggled to the sleeping Prince Qi. He took off the already half-removed robe from the asleep prince and draped it over Shangguan Yan. The following morning, Xiao Chen found himself awaken by the cacophony of clamorous bickerings. "Wake up, you two pigs! Where is my clothing? Who had removed my clothing! Argh!" "Argh! Whose clothes are these! They are filthy! Take them off me at once!" "Ah! Please, my lady! No spiders, please! It is not I who have left them there!" "Argh! Not me either! Help, S
Luo Shangyan kept silent but her fingers remained on the hilt of her sword warily. The young woman in red laughed chirpily as she strode closer to them. Silkily she said, "Surely there is no need for such tenseness when a Senior Sister meets a junior of hers?" Xiao Chen observed the person, remembering that she was called Wen Qingyu, a disciple of the Fourth Elder, and a Cultivator of Lv 6 Qi Refining Realm. He tugged at Luo Shangyan's sleeve and simply said, "Let us leave, Senior Sister. The night is upon us soon." Wen Qingyu cast a simple look to her subordinates. At once, more than ten of them immediately leaped into the way of Xiao Chen and his companions. With a frigid voice, Xiao Chen growled, "What do you want, Senior Sister?" Wen Qingyu giggled and looked at Luo Shangyan, "Oh my! Look at this, Senior Sister. Does he not have a temper, this little apprentice of yours? Does he not know any manners?" Looking at
The man in white looked at him, his expression still pleasant and friendly, "I assume you still have questions, Junior Brother?" Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed as he studied the two newcomers. "Questions? Of course, I do. If I might ask, who among the five Elders are your masters?" "This..." The two men shared a look, brief and embarrassed. The man in green answered, "To speak the truth, we are actually Outer Disciples of the Three Pure Sect." He then pointed at a shorter peak beside the main peak. "Outer Disciples..." The sudden revelation caught the three princes unawares that they began to look sullen as if a pail of icy cold water had been poured over them. The man in white then continued, "We may be Outer Disciples, but we are not much different from the Inner Disciples of the order. There are ample opportunities for us to be promoted as Inner Disciples." Seeing that Xiao Chen was looking
Xiao Chen raised his head and said happily, "Brother Yifeng! It's really you!" "I didn't expect to see you here either. It's been ten years. You've grown so tall. How is Senior Changfeng?" The man pressed his shoulder and looked apparently happy. The crowd was shocked upon seeing their intimacy. Mo Yu looked more and more terrible, uneasy and terrified. Their friendship began a long time ago. This man was called Yu Yifeng, and his master was a good friend of Xiao Changfeng. On Xiao Changfeng's birthday ten years ago, Yu Yifeng happened to have some business to do in the Human World, hence he visited the Xiao Family to celebrate the birthday. Xiao Chen met him then. Yu Yifeng was a low-key person and did not show his aura of an Immortal in front of the mortals. Ten years ago, Xiao Chen naturally could not tell if Brother Yifeng was a Cultivator or not. He could never expect that Brother Yifeng was exactly the Cultivator that he would se
The two people in teal and white stepped back far away from the stone. Xiao Chen was also scared as hell and wanted to take his hand back. However, it seemed that his hand had been cauterized on the stone. He was not able to take his hand back. All of a sudden, the black stone vibrated violently and then shattered with an earthshaking boom. This stone contained a great amount of Mystic Power, so its explosion was catastrophic. Yu Yifeng had seen this coming. He pointed two fingers at Xiao Chen as a beam of white radiance dashed forth and instantly changed into a radiance curtain that shrouded Xiao Chen. Then, he flashed to Xiao Chen in a beam of light and pressed on Xiao Chen's wrist. After a long time, the crowd in the square was still restless. Yu Yifeng released Xiao Chen's hand and said loudly, "Everyone, do not panic. The test stone had gone wrong just now. Junior Brother Xiao has six Upper Spiritual Meridians." His words carried more autho
"From now on, you are the master of this sword." The moment he touched the hilt, Xiao Chen felt a sense of coolness and tranquility was going through his body. The resentment, unwillingness, and many other negative emotions in him dispersed instantly, and his mind suddenly became clear. This was exactly a state of mind that a Cultivator needed. Everybody looked at the sword with jealous and envious eyes. Mo Yu was also here. While looking at the sword, his eyes shone with blazing light. "Brother Yifeng, are you... Are you giving this sword to me?" Yu Yifeng nodded and said, "This sword has gone through thousands of years. And there is a Sword Spirit in it. I hope you can treat it well. Don't stain it with too much blood." After saying so, he moved his fingers and then rode on a row of sword radiance to the skyline. He said from the distance, "Three days later, in a place 10 kilometers east of the Lingtai Town, you
