Grand Elder, that's impossible, right? Linlong was only a rank one beast warrior previously. How did he become a rank two beast warrior in just a few days? "
After the initial shock, some people began to doubt it.
After all, the sect master and many elders were present at the Beast Battle Arena, so Linlong couldn't hide his strength.
The Grand Elder looked at Linlong and said, "Linlong, explain it to everyone."
"Actually, it's because I consumed a Blue Profound Python's gallbladder. I encountered a dying Blue Profound Python in the back mountain range, so I was able to kill it and consume its gallbladder …"
Linlong repeated what he had told Shi Chun previously.
Naturally, the crowd was still doubtful. Hence, someone said, "Linlong, show us your strength. Let everyone see it."
The Grand Elder said, "There's no need to show my strength. In any case, everyone will naturally know what kind of strength I have in the competition."
"Grand Elder is right."
Everyone couldn't help but agree after hearing the Grand Elder's words.
"Alright, let the competition begin," the Grand Elder said.
"I wonder how these people are going to compete?" Someone asked.
"That's simple. Let them fight. Whoever loses will be eliminated," the Grand Elder said.
"Isn't that a little too cruel?" Many people couldn't help but be shocked.
"What's so cruel about it? After all, there are so many spots among them!" The Grand Elder frowned.
The Sect Master and the other elders didn't say anything, so the shocked people naturally didn't dare to say anything.
"Alright, everyone, disperse and make space for them to compete," the Grand Elder said.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone hurriedly retreated, creating a large space.
After that, the Grand Elder looked at the disciples in front of him and said, "Alright, you can choose your opponents now."
As soon as the Grand Elder finished speaking, the disciples immediately began to choose their opponents. The stronger ones naturally wanted to choose the weaker ones.
Therefore, it was inevitable that there would be fights. However, with the intervention of the Grand Elder and the other elders, there weren't any conflicts.
Soon, more than fifty people had chosen their opponents.
Just a moment ago, there were two people who wanted to fight over Linlong at the same time. In their opinion, Linlong, who had just become a rank two beast warrior, was easier to deal with.
Moreover, Linlong might not even be a level-2 beast tamer.
In the end, the young man who got in front of him pushed the other one away.
"My name is Mo Wenlu. Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, sorry for the offense!" The young man said respectfully to Lin Long.
"Senior apprentice brother Mo, there's no need to stand on ceremony." Lin Long nodded.
"All right. Now, the people on my left will go first. Those in the middle and those on my right, get ready. It will be your turn later," the Great Elder said.
Hearing his words, the people in his middle and on his right immediately moved to the side, leaving only the people on his left.
These people immediately spread out and faced each other in pairs.
"Let's begin!" The Great Elder shouted as soon as everyone was in position.
There were so many elders and hall masters present, so there was no need to worry about any accidents happening.
Not long after, the competition between these people ended. The nine people who lost retreated into the crowd dejectedly.
The nine winners stood behind the Great Elder.
"Alright, it's your turn to the people in the middle," the Great Elder said again.
Linlong was on the people on the right, so he had been waiting at the side.
Soon, the people in the middle finished their competition, and it was their turn to the people on the right.
When they were in position, the Great Elder announced the start of the competition.
As soon as the Great Elder's voice fell, Mo Wenlu, who was in front of Lin Long, immediately attacked him with his sword. He had clearly used all his strength, and it seemed like he wanted to end the battle quickly.
Linlong immediately met it with his sword. He naturally only used the strength of an early-stage level-2 beast tamer.
"Bang!"
When the sword aura hit, Linlong was directly forced back seven or eight steps. On the other hand, Mo Wenlu's figure only swayed a few times.
This Linlong really had the strength of an early-stage level-2 beast tamer. It seemed like what he said about consuming the Profound Blue Snake's gallbladder was true! Seeing this scene, the majority of the people had the same thought in their minds.
Because of what happened just now, most of the people's attention was on Linlong and Mo Wenlu.
Mo Wenlu was naturally overjoyed when he forced Linlong back with one strike. He immediately attacked Linlong again.
Linlong used the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique. Although his opponent also used a sword technique, how could he be a match for Linlong's Nimble Serpent Sword Technique? After a few moves, Linlong's sword directly slapped his hand, causing the longsword in his hand to fall to the ground.
He had lost! Mo Wenlu's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
Although he was unwilling, he knew the gap between him and Linlong, so he did not persist. Instead, he said helplessly, "Junior Brother Lin, you win."
"Senior Brother Mo, thank you for letting me win." Linlong cupped his hands.
"Linlong's mastery of the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique is too deep. That's why Mo Wenlu lost so easily!"
Everyone who was watching them couldn't help but discuss.
After that, Linlong walked behind the Great Elder.
After a while, the rest of the contestants finished competing. However, there were still 27 people left. It was obvious that six more people would be eliminated, so everyone focused their attention on the Great Elder again.
"There are still six more people to be eliminated. However, due to the number of people, it won't be good for you to fight each other in pairs. Therefore, let us, the elders, directly pick out the 12 weaker ones. We've taken a glance at you all just now, so we have a rough idea of who's strength is."
With that, the Great Elder gestured for all the elders present to gather.
After discussing for a while, the Great Elder named 12 names. Linlong wasn't one of them. Obviously, due to the strength that Linlong had displayed, they felt that Linlong's strength was above the 12 of them.
After a round of competition, 21 people were selected.
"Alright, rest for two days and follow the other 79 people to the secret realm. The future of our Core Yang Sect lies in your hands. Therefore, I hope that all of you will work hard and obtain the treasure for the Core Yang Sect!" The Great Elder finally allowed them to leave.
"Linlong's strength suddenly underwent such a huge change. It seems that the disappearance of Meng Han and Han Yi really has something to do with him. There must be someone even more powerful behind him!"
"Meng Han and Han Yi haven't been missing for too long and I don't have any evidence. It's useless to accuse him like this, so I have to think of another way!"
Yin Mu thought to himself as he stared at Linlong's back.
Soon, his eyes lit up as he thought of an idea. He could let a powerful disciple deal with Linlong.
This disciple was even stronger than him. In his opinion, dealing with Linlong would be a piece of cake.
With that thought in mind, he immediately headed for the disciple's residence.
Soon, he saw the disciple. His name was Zhao Zheng and he was one of the top three disciples in the Core Yang Sect.
"Hall Master Yin Mu, what business do you have with me?" Zhao Zheng asked arrogantly as he looked at Yin Mu.
He was stronger and younger than Yin Mu, so he didn't take Yin Mu seriously at all.
Yin Mu didn't take Zhao Zheng's rudeness to heart because of his strength. He put on a smile and said, "Zhao Zheng, I have something I need your help with."
"Yes, what business do you have with me, Hall Master Yin Mu?" Zhao Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's like this. Hall Masters Meng Han and Han Yi seem to have disappeared recently. I suspect that something happened to them. Since I have a good relationship with them, I would like to ask you for help," said Yin Mu.
"What does their disappearance have to do with me?" Zhao Zheng couldn't help but frown.
As one of the top three disciples in the Core Yang Sect, he didn't care about a small family like the Meng Clan.
Hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Yin Mu immediately took out a money card and handed it to him. "Zhao Zheng, this is a small token of my appreciation."
After taking a look at the card, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but be surprised. This was because there were 200,000 Blue Cloud Dollars on the card.
"200,000 Blue Cloud Dollars. It seems that Hall Master Yin Mu's request isn't that simple?" Zhao Zheng asked as he held the card.
"It's like this. I suspect that the disappearance of Hall Masters Meng Han and Han Yi is related to Linlong. Therefore, I would like you to deal with Linlong and ask him about the whereabouts of Hall Masters Meng Han and Han Yi," said Yin Mu.
"That Linlong?" Zhao Zheng's eyes darted around before he nodded. "Alright, I'll help you with this matter."
He had seen Linlong's previous matches and felt that Linlong wouldn't be a match for him even if there were a few more of him. Therefore, he naturally didn't care about Linlong.
"Thank you, Zhao Zheng," Yin Mu said with joy.
He then added, "If you really have the whereabouts of Hall Masters Meng Han and Han Yi, the Meng Clan won't mistreat you."
"Yes," Zhao Zheng nodded.
He thought of something and asked, "Does Linlong have any power behind him?"
"No power. It's just a member of a small clan in Nanzhou Town, the Lu Clan," Yin Mu said.
"Then Hall Master Yin Mu can rest assured," Zhao Zheng said.
Yin Mu then left.
Soon, it was the day to enter the secret realm. On this day, the disciples who were qualified to enter the secret realm gathered at the martial arts field early in the morning.
Sect Master Ma Wangshan didn't appear this time. The Great Elder led a group of Elders to stand in front of the disciples.
"Eh, why isn't Senior Brother Sima Jian here?"
Not long after arriving at the martial arts field, Linlong heard many disciples talking about him.
Although he had never seen Sima Jian before, Linlong knew that he was the strongest among all the disciples in the Core Yang Sect.
As they were talking, a young man suddenly sprinted towards the martial arts field from afar.
"It's Senior Brother Sima!" The Core Yang Sect disciples couldn't help but exclaim when they saw him.
"It's great that Senior Brother Sima is here. Now we have hope of snatching something in the secret realm."
"Yeah, if Senior Brother Sima doesn't come, our battle strength will be greatly reduced!"
The disciples discussed among themselves.
At this time, Si Majian arrived in front of the elders. He looked rather handsome and had a casual and elegant appearance.
"Elders, this disciple is late, please forgive me!" Si Majian respectfully said to the elders present.
The Elders didn't show any displeasure. After all, with Sima Jian's strength and talent, he was the best candidate to become the Core Yang Sect's Sect Master in the future.
The Great Elder looked at Sima Jian and said, "Sima Jian, you came at the right time … Since we Elders can't enter the secret realm, I've decided to choose three people to be the captain and vice-captain. They'll lead the disciples in battle in the secret realm."
After a short pause, the Great Elder continued, "Because of your ability, you'll be the captain!"
"Thank you, Great Elder and Elders," Sima Jian said with a smile.
In his opinion, no one else was qualified to be the captain, so there wasn't a trace of surprise on his face.
The Great Elder nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. At the same time, I hope you can lead them to obtain treasures for our Core Yang Sect."
"Great Elder, Elders, don't worry. Sima Jian won't let you down," Sima Jian said immediately.
After nodding a few more times, the Great Elder looked at the disciples in front of him and said, "Zhao Zheng, Hu Fei Yi, the two of you step forward!"
Zhao Zheng and another disciple named Hu Fei Yi stepped forward immediately.
"Sima Jian alone isn't enough, so we'll choose two more vice-captains. The two of you are naturally the most suitable vice-captains."
"Thank you, Great Elder and Elders!" Zhao Zheng and Hu Fei Yi quickly said.
As they spoke, their faces naturally revealed a proud expression.
After that, the Great Elder looked at the other disciples and said, "The rest of you must listen to the three captains. That way, you'll be able to obtain treasures in the secret realm!"
"Yes!" The disciples replied in unison.
After that, they set off for Fragrant Frost Mountain. After about an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Fragrant Frost Mountain's secret realm.
At this time, the people from the other two sects also arrived.
After some discussion, the three sects each sent out three elders, making a total of nine elders.
The nine elders stood at the entrance of the secret realm.
After one of the nine elders muttered something, the nine of them simultaneously struck the void in front of them with their palms.
"Rumble …"
Then, the void actually emitted such a sound.
After a dozen breaths, the sound disappeared and a circle of light appeared in front of the nine elders.
"Alright, the secret realm has been opened. All disciples can enter the secret realm now."
"However, in order to prevent conflicts from happening as soon as you enter, only one sect will be allowed to enter after a certain period of time. This way, the people from the three sects won't appear in the same place at the same time. "
"Disciples from the Core Yang Sect who entered first, come over now!"
After saying that, the nine elders flashed to the side while the disciples of the Core Yang Sect walked toward the circle of light.
Lin Long also followed in the middle.
