Sure enough, when Linlong arrived at the first floor of the library, he was stopped by the elder on the first floor when he wanted to go straight to the second floor.
"Take out your waist tag," the elder said expressionlessly.
Linlong handed over his waist tag. After receiving Linlong's waist tag, the elder began to sense it with his Divine Telekinesis. Soon, the elder's expression darkened. "You need to fulfill two conditions to enter the second floor. First, stay on the first floor for 24 hours. Second, you have to answer five of my questions. You haven't even completed the first condition, so you cannot enter the second floor."
"I understand," Linlong replied and continued to stay on the first floor.
He was not surprised by such conditions, because if anyone could enter the second and third floors, then the library would be in chaos.
Linlong took advantage of this time to seriously read the books on the first floor.
During this time, he realized that the disciples on the first floor were basically not very strong. Those who could enter the second floor were basically stronger than those on the second floor.
As time passed, Linlong realized that he actually gained a lot.
Linlong read from morning until night and did not go out at all. Unknowingly, 20 hours had passed.
At this time, a few disciples of the Demon Clan walked to his side. Linlong knew one of them. It was Xiang Zhenghui, who had his arm cut off by a level-one commander in the Sky Devil Cave.
Xiang Zhenghui also saw Linlong and immediately glared at him. If they were not in the Demon Clan's headquarters, he would probably have already pounced on Linlong.
"Senior Brother Xiang, long time no see." Linlong smiled indifferently.
"Yes, long time no see. I hope that the next time I see you, you will end up very badly!" Xiang Zhenghui gritted his teeth.
"That's difficult. Although my strength is not very strong, I won't let my arm be cut off by a level-one commander," Linlong said indifferently.
"Kid, don't be too proud. You will be unlucky one day," Xiang Zhenghui said angrily. He could not help but raise his voice.
"Who's making noise over there!" The voice of the elder guarding the first floor came from nearby.
Hearing this voice, Xiang Zhenghui did not dare to speak loudly.
"Kid, from the looks of it, your strength is average. Our Senior Brother Xiang could have entered the second floor long ago. If he did not have to check something on the first floor, he would not have come here at all.
"With your standard, you can only stay on the first floor!"
The two people following Xiang Zhenghui seized the opportunity to flatter him. Although Xiang Zhenghui had lost an arm, his strength was still above theirs.
Most importantly, Xiang Zhenghui had a good relationship with Wu Xin.
"The second level? I'll be able to enter tomorrow," Linlong replied casually.
"If you can enter the second level, I, Xiang Zhenghui, will write my name backwards!" Xiang Zhenghui said coldly.
Linlong could not help but smile when he saw Xiang Shaolong's reaction. "Since Senior Brother Xiang is so sure, why don't we make a bet?"
"Okay," Xiang Zhenghui immediately said.
After rolling his eyes, he said again, "However, isn't it too small to bet on the name written upside down? If we're going to bet, let's bet on the big one!"
"Oh, it's up to you what to bet," Linlong said indifferently.
"Whoever loses will immediately withdraw from our Holy Gate. Do you dare?" Xiang Zhenghui glared at Lin Long and demanded.
Xiang Zhenghui had investigated Lin Long and knew that Lin Long had only followed Lu Zhiyi for a short period of time before entering the Demon Gate. Under such circumstances, he definitely did not have much knowledge about the Demon Gate.
It was also because of this that he was certain that Lin Long would definitely not be able to enter the second level.
Otherwise, he would not dare to make such a bet.
"Of course," Lin Long said with a smile.
"That's good." Xiang Zhenghui immediately smiled.
He believed in his investigation. Most importantly, the knowledge of the Demon Sect was not so easy to learn. For example, he had spent a few years to enter the second level. Even a genius disciple like Wu Xin had spent a whole year to do so.
Afraid that Lin Long would go back on his word, Xiang Zhenghui then said, "In that case, let's go to the Four Great Beasts and make an oath in front of the Four Great Beasts. How about it?"
With the Four Great Beasts as witnesses, he was not afraid that Lin Long would go back on his word.
Many of the bets between the Demon Gate disciples were witnessed by the Four Great Beasts. This way, no one would dare to go back on their word after losing.
Lin Long knew this and was not worried at all. Hence, he immediately agreed. "Okay."
The two of them immediately walked out of the library and towards the Demonic Peak.
Soon, they arrived at the training field of the Demonic Peak.
"I, Xiang Zhenghui, have made a bet with Lin Li. If Lin Li enters the second level of the library tomorrow, I will immediately leave the Holy Gate. On the contrary, if Lin Li fails to enter the second level, I will leave the Holy Gate."
"Since the two of us made such a bet, I hope the Four Great Beasts can be witnesses!"
After saying that, Xiang Zhenghui took out a Water Magical Crystal from his body, while Lin Long took out another Water Magical Crystal. A total of two Water Magical Crystals were placed on the ground in front of them.
"Okay, the Four Great Beasts will be witnesses for you!"
Then, such a voice sounded in the ears of the two of them.
Apart from the two of them, no one else around them could hear such a voice. However, they knew from the disappearance of the two Water Magical Crystals that the Four Great Beasts were willing to be witnesses for them.
"Lin Li, I wish you good luck tomorrow." Then, Xiang Zhenghui smiled and left with the others.
He even thought about how he would teach Lin Long a lesson after he left. Should he chop off Lin Long's arms or legs?
"Senior Brother Xiang, that fella looked so calm just now. Could it be that he has some tricks up his sleeves?" On the way back, someone beside Xiang Zhenghui asked worriedly.
"That's right," another person chimed in.
In fact, they weren't the only ones who were worried. Xiang Zhenghui was worried too. However, he believed that Lin Long wouldn't be able to grasp so much knowledge in such a short period of time. Hence, Xiang Zhenghui threw such worries to the back of his mind.
Hence, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. That fella probably didn't want to stay in the Holy Gate for a long time. After all, he has already offended me and Senior Brother Wu Xin. There's no place for him in the Holy Gate."
The bet between the two of them quickly spread throughout the Demon Gate.
After hearing about this, Su Fei immediately came to look for Lin Long. She said anxiously, "Junior Brother, why did you make such a bet with Senior Brother Xiang? You just entered the headquarters for a few days. How can you enter the second level so quickly?"
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Nothing will happen." Lin Long smiled faintly.
Seeing that Lin Long had already made the bet, Su Fei could only be anxious.
