Monarch Of Time Chapter 949 Fifth trial: Test of Talent!

Chapter 949 Fifth trial: Test of Talent!

The clamor within the great hall gradually subsided, allowing the surrounding Dao Kings to return back to their senses. And as they did, many of them began to look at the blue-robed youth at the center of it all with a myriad of colorful expressions.

Indeed, Shun Long's strength was terrifying, but the way he had killed Guo Chen was even more terrifying in comparison. The life of a peak-stage Dao King had been snuffed out in an instant, being treated no different from a frail blade of gra.s.s, stepped on and plucked out in an instant!

Although the majority of these Dao Kings inside the white hall were also ranked among the top 100 Dao Kings, none of them was confident that they could kill Guo Chen as easily and effortlessly as Shun Long had done. At the very least, none of them thought that they could take him down in a single strike!

And yet, the strongest people inside the hall right now, the silver-haired 'brother Xing', the green-robed Xu Tai, and a few others didn't even concern themselves with Guo Chen's death, their gazes fully focused on the black dragonic scales around Shun Long's body instead.

Although immortal-grade bloodlines weren't that common throughout the central continent, they weren't overly rare either. In reality, even among the first-rate powers of the continent, a handful of the most talented disciples would normally possess an immortal-grade bloodline. Of course, those bloodlines would normally be just common or rare-grade ones, coming from common or rare-grade Immortal beasts. However, the dragonic scales around Shun Long's body right now and the pressure he was emitting were clearly different! Although Xu Tai and the others couldn't tell exactly what kind of bloodline Shun Long possessed or how pure the blood in his body really was, as members of the eight ancient families they could still discern how unordinary his bloodline was.

A few moments later, the l.u.s.ter of the black scales gradually dimmed and the b.e.s.t.i.a.l-like claws in his hands dispersed as well, revealing Shun Long's original appearance once more.

And yet, neither the silver-haired man nor anyone else in the hall spoke, as everyone silently stared at the blue-robed youth who was now standing next to the illusionary, silver door.

A moment later, Xu Tai took a deep breath and stepped forward, seeming like he wanted to say something, but after looking at Guo Chen's mutilated corpse and then Shun Long a few meters away from it, the green-robed young master decided to stay silent.

Instead, it was the silver-haired 'brother Xing' who actually spoke in the next moment, his voice reverberating throughout the great hall as he looked coldly at Xu Tai next to him

''There is no need to concern yourself with this matter. It has nothing to do with you in the first place. The death of a worm like Guo Chen is insignificant to us. Let's get back to what we were discussing earlier.'' As he said that, the silver-haired man then glanced at Shun Long and nodded his head as he continued

''Before you arrived, we were discussing potential strategies regarding the fifth trial. I know that you've just arrived in the hall, but you are free to join this conversation if you wis.h.!.+''

As he finished speaking, 'brother Xing' took a seat on the cold marble floor underneath him and looked at the surrounding Dao Kings in the hall. One by one, they suppressed the shock in their hearts and sat around him as well, returning back to their previous topic.

Indeed, although Guo Chen's death had been shocking to the majority of these people, at the end of the day, it was nothing more than a surprising, yet slightly entertaining event.

Since Guo Chen wasn't a member of any of the ancient families, his death didn't have anything to do with any of them. It was only the power standing behind him that would be concerned.

Nodding his head at the silver-haired youth, Shun Long retrieved Guo Chen's spatial ring, before taking a seat on the cold marble floor just a few meters away from Xu Tai and his group.

Although Shun Long wasn't partic.i.p.ating in their conversation and was only planning to restore his qi, he didn't reject 'brother Xing's' amicable intentions either, settling just a few meters away from them.

Noticing this, the edges of the silver-haired man's lips curved into a smile, before a heated conversation filled the great hall.

...

A day later, Shun Long had completely recovered the qi he had expended in the fourth trial. The 72 golden-colored qi b.a.l.l.s inside the 'Monarch's Hourgla.s.s' were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with power once again, and even the few insignificant wounds he had received in the trial had already disappeared.

During this past day, Shun Long had also gained plenty of valuable information from 'brother Xing', whose real name was Xing Fei. This third young master of the Xing family who was ranked in 16th place from the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce', seemed to have already failed this fifth floor once, as he explained the process to everyone with a grave look on his face.

The more Shun Long heard about the fifth trial, the more surprised he felt inwardly. Apparently, the goal of this trial wasn't to kill a large number of magic beasts, nor was it to defeat 3 peak-stage Dao Kings who were working together.

Instead, it was merely to stay alive for one hour. As for the opponent they had to face, Xing Fei had already explained that it was actually the chief outer court disciple of the 'Imperial Mandate sect'.

Wei Peng had already explained to Shun Long that the opponents of the fourth trial were ordinary outer court disciples of the sect, but this time they were facing the chief among those disciples?! And yet, seeing how confident the silver-haired youth' was about this information, showed how extensive the knowledge network of the eight ancient families really was.

However, it was the last part of Xing Fei's explanation that piqued Shun Long's interest the most; Although the cultivation base of this chief of outer disciples had already been lowered to match the level of the 'Heavenly Tower', Xing Fei had revealed that not only was he an early-stage Dao Emperor, but a Dao Emperor who had comprehended an extremely powerful supreme Dao!
