Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. His cultivation was not high, but he could come and go as he pleased in the various dangerous dragon graves.
There was only one explanation. He had the unique ability to restrain the various Dragon Race guards and Primeval Dragon Might. Although this ability was rare, it was not nonexistent.
For example, the Hou Ghost that Xiao Chen once saw. It fed on dragons and swallowed them like eating earthworms. It was the natural nemesis of the Dragon Race.
Hearing Feng Buyu say this, Xiao Chen became even more interested. Who exactly was this mysterious Dragon Slayer? His cultivation was not high, but he could come and go as he pleased in the various dragon graves. He even went through the Distant Sea Dragon Grave.
"Thank you for your advice. I'm leaving!"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and drank to his heart's content. Then, he drifted away.
Feng Buyu held his wine cup and looked at Xiao Chen's back. He shook his head and smiled. "These days, there are all kinds of people. Why is a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor trying to get involved in the excitement of a half-step Emperor Wu?
"I, Feng Buyu, know my own limits. The cool breeze does not speak. It comes slowly and drifts away. However, the cool breeze does not speak. I think slowly, do not come. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he really flew away like the wind, leaving the restaurant in a fluttering manner.
…
The location that Feng Buyu mentioned was easy to find. After Xiao Chen left the city, he wore a mask that covered half of his face. After walking five kilometers to the south, he saw a manor by the lake.
There was a signboard on the door: Dragon Slaying Manor.
There was a couplet on the left and right sides. The first line was "I have the courage to search the world's dragon graves." The second line was "I have the passion to kill all the berserk dragons in the world."
It was an ordinary couplet. There was nothing literary about it. Strictly speaking, it could not even be considered a couplet.
However, in Xiao Chen's opinion, this was probably done on purpose by the Manor Lord to show off his arrogance and dominance.
"How arrogant. Let's see what kind of background this Dragon Slayer has!"
Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly. He walked towards the door and was stopped by the guards.
"What are you doing? Today, the Beheading Dragon Villa is recruiting the half-step Emperor Wu. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter," the guard said bluntly.
As expected, they were all the same. The Dragon Slayer was boundlessly arrogant. Even his guards were condescending.
Even his strength on the surface was at the level of a Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor, which was far from what the two Lesser Mastery Blue Robed Emperors could compare to.
However, he still had an arrogant look on his face, looking high and mighty.
As Xiao Chen pondered how to get in, he caught sight of a stone stele off to the side. He smiled faintly as he came up with an idea.
"If I can light up all the purple gems on the sixth row in an instant, I should be qualified to enter."
The two Lower Mastery Blue Robed Emperors sneered. "You think you can light up all the purple gems in an instant? Don't joke around. Quickly scram. Without the strength of a half-step Emperor Wu, don't even think about lighting up all the purple gems. "
"Don't overthink it. That stone stele is not for you to test. It is just to test whether the strength of some half-step Emperor Wu is sufficient."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. "I am not overthinking it."
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he casually punched. Amid the flickering light, aside from the golden gems on the seventh row, all the gems lit up.
Xiao Chen did it easily, without any difficulty.
Looking at the two dumbfounded guards, Xiao Chen withdrew his fist in satisfaction.
"That was a little too fast!"
"How easy! It feels like there is no pressure at all. Several of the half-step Emperor Wu had to take a deep breath before they dared to make a move."
Before advancing to Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor, Xiao Chen could easily light up seven purple gems.
After advancing to Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor, Xiao Chen's Heavenly Laws no longer differed from those of a half-step Emperor Wu. Hence, lighting up all the gems in an instant was naturally incredibly easy.
In fact, if Xiao Chen wanted to use his Primordial Energy, he could even light up the golden gems that the half-step Emperor Wu could never light up.
However, there was no need to be too shocking. Xiao Chen was not in a rush to expose his strength.
"Come with me."
The guard on the left no longer dared to underestimate Xiao Chen's strength. His attitude became much more respectful as he led Xiao Chen into the manor.
There were winding corridors, gardens, and fake mountains. The scenery inside the manor was unique and elegant.
Soon, Xiao Chen arrived at a pavilion. Then, he saw the other half-step Emperor Wu's that had come because of its fame. When Xiao Chen counted carefully, he found that there were quite a lot of people, close to twenty half-step Emperor Wu's.
It looked like Feng Buyu was right. Nearly all the half-step Emperor Wu's of the entire Dragon Grave Sea had rushed over.
"Wait here. The Manor Lord will bring a few Lord Emperor Wu's out later. There will be another test."
After leaving behind these words, the manor guard quickly left.
"Whoosh!"
Right after the guard left, Xiao Chen felt many gazes on him. These gazes contained shock, disdain, doubt, and confusion.
"Brother, you must have come to the wrong place. The one being recruited here is a half-step Emperor Wu's, not a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor's," a tall and sturdy man wearing beast skins in the pavilion said with a disdainful smile as he looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen found an empty spot and sat down. Then, he replied calmly, "I know. However, I do not feel that I am any weaker than a half-step Emperor Wu's."
This serious answer immediately caused the entire hall to roar with laughter. Many of the older elders could not help but reveal a slight smile.
Based on this voice, the person wearing the mask was a youth. Youths tended to be arrogant. They thought that the world revolved around them, not knowing how high the sky was or how deep the earth was.
Sometimes, they became a joke in the eyes of others, yet they did not know it.
The man in beast skins laughed the loudest. "So, it is a fool. To think that I actually spoke to a fool. Never mind, I can't be bothered with you."
Just at this moment, footsteps rang out. Looking from the end of the small path, a youth led four or five people over.
"The Dragon Slayer is here!"
The half-step Emperor Wu's in the pavilion immediately stopped smiling and sat up properly.
Under the mask, Xiao Chen clearly saw the Dragon Slayer's face. His heart skipped a beat. How can it be him?!
The Dragon Slayer leading the five Blue Robed Emperors was none other than the Young Treasure Master, Yi Ling, whom Xiao Chen had met several times in the Heavenly Starry Ocean.
Thinking back to the first time they met, Xiao Chen felt some fear for this person for some reason. The other party's cultivation was clearly not as high as Xiao Chen's, but he instilled fear in Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen recalled the first time they met in the Treasure Master's residence. The other party had offered him the third cup of wine, making many people unhappy.
Now that Xiao Chen thought about it, could there be a deeper meaning to it? Could it be that it was not just because of the several tens of millions of Black Astral Coins?
Xiao Chen felt shocked. However, he quickly recovered his wits and calmed down.
Fortunately, he had put on a mask before coming, covering his face. Furthermore, he had used the Foundation Returning Art to hide his identity. Hence, the other party should not recognize him.
Xiao Chen could not figure it out. He really could not figure it out. This Young Treasure Master, who was so refined in the Heavenly Starry Ocean and did not reveal his sharpness, had such an arrogant side to him, even gaining the title of Dragon Slayer in the Dragon Grave Sea.
In terms of sharpness and ambition, this fellow should not be any weaker than the outstanding talents of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. However, he had hidden himself so well. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
"Young Master Yi!"
Seeing Yi Ling arrive, the group of half-step Emperor Wu's stood up and respectfully greeted him.
The title of Dragon Slayer seemed to be very popular in the Dragon Grave Sea. This Yi Ling was just a Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor. However, he managed to make the group of half-step Emperor Wu's submit, not daring to show any disrespect.
Yi Ling could even attract Emperor Wu's attention to explore the Distant Sea Dragon Grave together.
However, Yi Ling's cultivation on the surface might not be the real deal. Right now, Xiao Chen already viewed Yi Ling as a dangerous person. Perhaps this fellow was like Xiao Chen, having many trump cards. As a Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor, he could kill a half-step Emperor Wu's expert.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he sized up the five Emperor Wu's by Yi Ling's side. With one glance, he determined that they were all Minor Heavenly Emperor Wu's. The strongest was the red-haired, middle-aged man to Yi Ling's left. He should be a Second Heaven Layer Emperor Wu.
As for the other four Emperor Wu's, they were only Emperor Wu's First Heaven Layer. Even so, as long as they were Emperor Wu's, they could already look down on everyone here.
"Interesting. You are a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. Why are you here?"
Yi Ling casually greeted everyone. Then, he shifted his gaze to Xiao Chen. "However, I specially invited two Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperors to stand at the gates in case someone tried to fish in troubled waters. You should have something extraordinary about you for them to come in. That's fine. The test will start with you, then. "
Initially, Xiao Chen felt somewhat nervous, worried that Yi Ling would figure out his identity. After he heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, it would be somewhat problematic to be the first to take the test. He did not know what kind of strength he had to display to avoid arousing the suspicions of others. Furthermore, he did not know how to test himself. There were too many uncertain factors. It would be fine to be more cautious.
"My cultivation is the lowest. Can I be the last to take the test?" Xiao Chen asked, changing his tone.
"What a coward. I'll do it."
Before Yi Ling could say anything, the cultivator in beast skin who had argued with Xiao Chen first gave Xiao Chen a disdainful look and stepped forward.
A light flashed in Yi Ling's eyes. Without thinking too much, he said to an old man on the right, "Old Hong, I'll leave it to you."
The gray-robed Old Hong nodded and stepped forward. "Since all of you can light up nine purple gems, that means that your offensive power is sufficient. The test of the second stage is defense. The test is very simple. The person who can stand up after receiving a palm strike of thirty percent of my strength will pass. "
The moment Old Hong said that, the expressions of the twenty-odd half-step Emperor Wu cultivators in the pavilion immediately changed.
Emperor Wu was a First Heaven Layer expert. How were they supposed to receive a palm strike of thirty percent of their strength? Even if they defended with all their might, they would be severely injured.
Fortunately, the rules were rather loose. As long as they could stand up, it did not matter how injured they were.
If the results of the test were different, these twenty-odd people would all die.
The stout man in beast skin appeared somewhat nervous. He somewhat regretted stepping forward first. However, since he already stepped forward, there was no turning back.
"Bang!"
Just as the stout man was about to say something to get ready, Old Hong suddenly made a move, landing a palm strike on the chest of the cultivator in beast skin.
This palm strike looked very simple. However, the half-step Emperor Wu present all had very good eyesight. They could tell that this palm strike contained at least ten strands of Primordial Energy.
