Heaven and Earth Examination
"Lin Ling accepted the challenge?"
The crowd's eyes widened. Lin Ling's arrogance soared to the heavens. Not only did he want to steal the glory of The Second Dream, he even agreed to a battle of life and death with The Second Dream!
This was like a dream. Lin Ling seemed to be unable to see through himself!
Indeed, Lin Ling's mouth was powerful. His eloquence was like a lotus flower. His imposing manner dragged The Second Dream from the altar into the mortal realm. The Second Dream didn't seem as sacred and perfect as before. She was still a distance away from the position of an elder. However, it was undeniable that The Second Dream was still very close to the position of an elder. This was something that Lin Ling couldn't compare to!
However, Lin Ling still wanted to fight. Could Lin Ling compare to The Second Dream?
Could it be that Lin Ling was so arrogant that he thought he was the perfect Heaven's Chosen?
"Lin Ling!"
Lin Ling's relatives and friends were shocked. Some were worried about Lin Ling. In fact, Lin Ling had done very well today. At least in the hearts of the crowd, The Second Dream's reputation was stained. However, how could Lin Ling be a match for The Second Dream?
Although this wasn't a battle of martial arts but a battle of wits, Lin Ling was still no match for the Second Dream!
"Are you sure?"
The Palace Lord looked at Lin Ling calmly. His soft voice floated out again.
At the same time, The Second Dream was also looking at Lin Ling. She knew that Lin Ling had a mysterious aura about him, but she was the Palace Lord's disciple. She had grown up in the rainforest holy land, and was a darling of the heavens. Lin Ling couldn't compare with her. She didn't know where Lin Ling's confidence came from. But with so many eyes focused on her, she still revealed a worried expression. "Lin Ling, I know that you have a bad impression of me, but you really aren't my match. Why do you insist on a life or death battle with me for the sake of fighting spirit?"
As she spoke, she looked at the Palace Lord. "Honorable Master, withdraw the life or death battle. Lin Ling is a rare talent. If he dies here, it will be a loss for the Seven Profound Martial House!"
Her words seemed as if she couldn't bear to see Lin Ling die, but the truth was that she was trying to beautify herself and erase the bad impression she had of him!
In the square, many people's eyes flashed. Some of the youths actually sympathized with The Second Dream. This woman was truly a proud daughter of the heavens. Lin Ling had targeted her at every turn, but she still pleaded for mercy for him. What a kind heart!
However, some of the older powerhouses and martial fanatics were indifferent. They knew that The Second Dream's plan was to retreat in order to advance. This was a very shrewd move. This was equal to goading Lin Ling into a corner!
This woman was truly intelligent. She wanted to use this life or death battle to obliterate Lin Ling!
"Slut, you don't need to pretend to plead for mercy. You want to refuse, but I won't agree!"
However, before the Palace Lord could speak, Lin Ling's cold voice sounded out, filled with a powerful self-confidence!
The crowd was once again stirred. Lin Ling was unafraid of death. Did he really think that he would win?
"Fierce!"
Some of the powerful martial artists from the Martial Hall nodded in appreciation. This youth had the drive that a martial artist should have. He didn't attack, but when he did attack, it was like a thunderbolt!
"The Seven Profound Martial House is the sacred martial hall of the rainforest holy land. It is not owned by one person. It represents the most powerful place in the Hundred Domains where talents are raised. Although today is a matter of the Seven Profound Martial House, it is also related to the other Martial Halls. Therefore, for the next examination, I will be the witnesses!"
At this moment, an old man from the Howling Sky Academy walked out. This person's status was obviously not low.
"I will also request the Heavenly Abode to be the witness!"
The Xuan elders from the other Martial Halls also walked out, causing the Palace Lord to frown. Today was supposed to be a gathering of great figures, and there were many things that were out of his control. However, Lin Ling's appearance, his strength and decisiveness, seemed to have attracted the praise of many powerhouses!
Thus, today's small matter of conferring the title of Elder was gradually becoming more and more chaotic!
Lin Ling!
This ant!
The Palace Lord coldly roared in his heart. He had never thought that Lin Ling would take advantage of this situation!
"Good, prepare for the Civil, Martial, and Moral tests!"
Then, the Palace Lord shouted, causing the hearts of the crowd to surge!
The Civil, Martial, and Moral tests were held by the Seven Martial Halls. It was a heaven and earth examination for conferring the title of Elder and Disciple. It was created by the Holy Land of the rainforest holy land, the Saint Palace. Of course, in the past, this was only a decoration. If one wanted to confer the title of Elder, the truth was that it depended on the Palace Lord and the Xuan elders!
However, today was different. Because of Lin Ling's rebellious and unruly behavior, the Palace Lord was no longer in control of the situation. If he followed his own thoughts, he could still confer the title of Elder to The Second Dream, but he would become a laughingstock!
Suddenly, the Palace Lord regretted. Because of the conferment of The Second Dream, he had invited a large number of powerhouses to come. He wanted to cause a sensation in the rainforest holy land, but the result was that Lin Ling had borrowed this power!
Lin Ling, what a treacherous junior!
Of course, although he was furious, he was still very confident about the upcoming heaven and earth examination!
"The Civil, Martial, and Moral tests test an Elder's civil, martial, and moral virtues. If he is moral, he will be loved and respected by his disciples. If he is literate, he will know the heavens above and the earth below. Only then will he be able to nurture a genius.
Otherwise, how can he not be a genius! "Elder Dao from the Law Enforcement Hall walked out and looked at the crowd expressionlessly. Many people nodded their heads. Elder Dao's character was upright and they believed that he was suitable to be the chief judge this time!
"The two disciples who are vying for the position of Elder, prepare to touch the Heaven and Earth Merits Board!"
Elder Dao's cold voice sounded again. Then, a few Xuan elders appeared and displayed their powerful strength. It was as if they were moving mountains and filling seas. They brought a stone tablet that was almost 20 meters tall over and smashed it on the ground with a loud boom!
The Heaven and Earth Merits Board was made from a rare Spiritual Origin Stone. Then, an ancient array was carved into the stone. As long as one's strength did not surpass the person who set up the array, it would be able to detect the good and evil of the person who entered the array, as well as his merits and demerits!
Every martial hall had a Heaven and Earth Merits Ranking. Normally, it was created by the first generation Manor Master. It was to prevent people from becoming the Martial Hall's Elder. After all, if a person who killed countless people became an Elder, it would be a stain on the Martial Hall's reputation. It would be a nightmare!
Rumble!
The ancient stone tablet sat on the ground and intimidated the crowd. They didn't dare to look directly at the stone tablet, as if it was the punishment of heaven and earth. Especially those martial fanatics who killed people like they were cutting grass. Their martial hearts were shaken and they didn't dare to look directly at the Heaven and Earth Merits Board!
"This board is a test of morality!"
Many people started to discuss. With the Heaven and Earth Merits Board, they could see the merits and demerits of Lin Ling and The Second Dream. If he failed two out of the Civil, Martial, and Moral tests, he wouldn't be qualified to be an Elder anymore!
Soon, countless eyes fell on Lin Ling and The Second Dream. They were looking forward to it!
One was a perfect girl blessed by the heavens. Her talent, intelligence, and background were all perfect. She was like a favored child of heaven. On the other hand, the other was a nameless youth who even had the fierce reputation of Mad God. Between the two of them, who had the higher morality?
In fact, there was no need to guess. It was definitely The Second Dream who had the higher morality. After all, Lin Ling had the reputation of Mad God. How good could his morality be?
This meant that Lin Ling had lost the first round of the Three Heavens, Earth, and Moral tests!
And if he lost the second round, with so many experts watching, Lin Ling would probably have to atone for his sins with his death!
