Han Yueran did not want the Stone Courtyard to miss out on such a disciple. "Lin Li, it seems like you have a deep grudge against Xiang Zhenghui.
He even said, "Lin Li, it seems like you have a deep grudge against Xiang Zhenghui. However, I think that if you take the initiative to apologize to him, he might not ask for such a bet again. When the time comes, you can explain this matter to the seniors of the four ferocious beasts."
Lin Long smiled. "Mentor Han, you don't know this, but I have something to do with Xiang Zhenghui's severed arm. If I didn't sever my own arm, he wouldn't have called off the bet …"
Han Yueran could only shake his head helplessly after hearing Lin Long's words.
Following that, some disciples of the Stone Courtyard and Lu Lingling also came to look for Lin Long. However, they could only console Lin Long. They could not do anything meaningful.
The next day, Lin Long arrived at the library early in the morning.
As soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by a large group of Demon Clan disciples. It was obvious that they were all here to watch the bet between him and Xiang Zhenghui.
"This Lin Li is really bold. How dare he make such a bet with Senior Brother Xiang!"
"As far as I know, he didn't learn anything before entering the Holy Gate, and it has only been a few days since he entered the Holy Gate. How could he have entered the second level under such circumstances?"
"How dare he make such a bet with Senior Brother Xiang?"
"Seems like he didn't want to stay in our Holy Gate for a long time."
The surrounding people discussed among themselves as they looked at Lin Long.
Lin Long ignored the voices around him and walked straight into the library.
Upon entering the library, he saw Xiang Zhenghui and the others.
"Lin Li, hurry up and let Elder Dong test you. We don't have that much time to waste with you here," Xiang Zhenghui said immediately when he saw Lin Long.
"I'm sorry, I have to stay on the first level for a full 24 hours to be tested. I only stayed here for 20 hours yesterday, which means that I have to stay here for another four hours before I am qualified to be tested by Elder Dong," Lin Long said with a faint smile.
"No way. You haven't even stayed for 24 hours?" The Demon Clan disciples were dumbfounded when they heard Lin Long's words.
They thought that Lin Long had been in the Demon Clan for so many days. He must have come to the library many times and stayed for more than 24 hours.
Who would have thought that even twenty-four hours were not enough?
Tsk tsk, you haven't even stayed for twenty-four hours and you want to enter the second level? Dream on! Xiang Zhenghui thought to himself.
Because of this, he didn't mind waiting for another four hours.
He immediately said, "Alright, I'll wait for you for four hours."
When this news spread to the outside world, the people outside were even more pessimistic about Linlong.
In their opinion, even the most talented genius in the history of the Demon Sect would not be able to enter the second level if he could not even stay in the first level for 24 hours.
Linlong no longer paid attention to these people. Instead, he seriously read the demonic sect's books on the first floor.
Since he came here to decipher the runes, he mainly looked at the knowledge of the Sangharama Runes. Unfortunately, there was too little knowledge about the Sangharama Runes on this level.
Unknowingly, four hours had passed.
Of course, this was only for Linlong. For Xiang Zhenghui and the others, every day felt like a year. They were here to see the results. How could they be in the mood to read the books within?
Hence, they immediately went to urge Lin Long when the four hours were up.
However, just as they moved, Linlong had already walked towards the entrance of the first level to the second level.
When he arrived at the entrance, he said to the old man guarding the entrance, "Elder Dong, I've already stayed on the first level for twenty-four hours. I'm here for you to test me and see if I can enter the second level."
Hearing Linlong's voice, Elder Dong, who had his head lowered, raised it. He no longer ignored Linlong like before. Instead, he took a few serious looks at Linlong.
With so many people outside the library, he already knew that it was related to the bet between Linlong and Xiang Zhenghui. Now that he heard about Linlong, he was naturally a little curious about him.
"Well, you're already qualified. I'll start the test now. I'll ask five questions. The answers to these five questions can be found on the first level. As long as you can answer them, you can enter the second level."
"Of course, while I'm asking the questions, you can't leave here to find the answers."
Elder Dong said.
While Elder Dong was asking the questions, Xiang Zhenghui and the rest were not far away. They could hear the conversation between the two, so they were not worried that there was anything fishy going on.
As time passed, Xiang Zhenghui and the rest's expressions became more and more unpleasant. This was because Linlong actually answered the first four questions without missing a single word.
How did this kid know so much? Such a situation made Xiang Zhenghui and the rest unable to help but wonder.
This was because only those who had mastered more than 80% of the knowledge on the first level could solve the four questions.
It was the last question. Hopefully, this last question would stump this fella! In the end, Xiang Zhenghui could only pray in his heart.
However, things did not go as he wished. The last question was still easily solved by Linlong.
When Linlong answered the last question correctly, Xiang Zhenghui directly collapsed to the ground.
As for Linlong, he did not even look behind him, and directly walked towards the second level. This was because he knew that no matter how powerful Xiang Zhenghui was, he would not dare to go back on his words. After all, he would not be able to withstand the wrath of the four ferocious beasts.
When the news spread outside, the people outside were equally shocked.
"It can't be, right? Lin Li actually entered the second level?"
"Does Lin Li have such a good grasp of our Sacred Gate's knowledge?" someone exclaimed.
"How could Lin Li enter the second level? Could it be that he colluded with Elder Dong, and Elder Dong gave him the questions in advance? "someone began to suspect.
The person beside him hurriedly knocked on his head to signal him to keep quiet. He then looked around cautiously, and said, "Don't spout nonsense."
"Why?" that person asked doubtfully.
"Elder Dong is famous for being an upright person in our Sacred Gate. A few decades ago, a good friend of his wanted him to help make a false testimony. Who would have thought that Elder Dong would reject him? Not only did he reject him, but he even reported it to the Guild Master. Because of this, his friend was chased out of the Sacred Gate. His friend was so angry that he came back to seek revenge. He even killed Elder Dong's son."
"Even so, Elder Dong did not regret his decision back then. Think about it, would such a person collude with Lin Li?"
The person who knocked on his head explained.
The person who doubted Lin Li was puzzled again. "Then why did you knock on my head? Why do you look so cautious?"
"I knocked on your head for your own good. If others heard it and reported it to Elder Dong, you would be in deep trouble. Elder Dong is an upright person, and he does not show mercy to those who gossip about him. In the past, Elder Dong broke the leg of one person," the person who knocked on his head said.
Upon hearing this, the person who doubted Lin Li did not dare to say anything.
Linlong was not concerned about what was happening outside. At this moment, his attention was completely focused on the books on the second level.
