chapter 126 gathering of geniuses

translator: borntobe

long chen had just been about to step onto the bridge when a strong gale attacked him in the back of his head. at the same time, a contemptuous voice rang out:

“fuck off.”

long chen dived to the side. a long whip shot by long chen’s face, the terrifying force causing the air to billow.

a huge eagle hurtled past above the bridge. it was so fast that it disappeared in just the blink of an eye. long chen had only vaguely caught a glimpse of a youth standing atop the eagle.

obviously, that whip attack had been from that youth. but that youth didn’t even glance at long chen, just flying right over him.

looking at that back, long chen was infuriated. he was sitting on a flying beast that had nothing to do with the bridge! brat, you better not let me catch you, raged long chen

most likely, that youth had also registered for the disciple selection and hadn’t truly joined the xuantian monastery yet, and that was why he had made such a display of power. this disciple selection would definitely not be boring.

long chen simply sighed and continued crossing the bridge. suddenly, the sky darkened and another huge figure flew over.

but this time, the person atop the flying beast didn’t attack long chen. long chen raised his head to see a brightly colored bird. its multicolored feathers were absolutely magnificent.

just as he raised his head, he saw that the person had also glanced down to look at him. long chen couldn’t help but cry out in shock inside, as that was a true beauty.

she looked to be around sixteen. her white robes fluttered over her slender body, and her black hair waterfalled down naturally. crescent eyebrows set off her starry eyes, making her appear like a fairy who didn’t consume the food of common mortals.

but although she was beautiful, she was a bit too cold. her face seemed to have been carved out of ice that wouldn’t melt even after ten thousand years, making it difficult for others to get close to her.

that maiden was a bit surprised when she saw little snow. once more glancing indifferently at long chen, she flew off.

long chen’s heart shook slightly. she was most likely also someone registered. being able to see through little snow’s disguise in just a glance, her eyesight was extremely sharp.

furthermore, he also noticed faint mist appearing over her body. that was no ordinary mist, but something that would occur when special spiritual qi was released outside the body.

and even more shocking, long chen had been unable to see through her cultivation base. with long chen’s powerful spiritual strength, there were few people who could hide their cultivation base in front of him.

“hey brat, get out of the way. if you don’t want to die, move for this master.”

long chen had been pondering when shaking came from behind him. a youth riding a huge bull shot over like a wild gale. he actually disregarded long chen as he charged directly over.

long chen was now completely infuriated. this was too overbearing! he had come here to study and train, not to be bullied!

just as that bull was about to arrive, long chen pulled little snow to the side, opening a path.

that youth snorted coldly when he saw long chen let him by. “i guess you’re not completely stupid - hey!”

he had just been about to say something intimidating as his bull passed by long chen when long chen kicked the bull right in the abdomen.

that bull was huge, even bigger than little snow. but even so, it was unable to bear long chen’s force and was sent flying, causing that person to let out a sharp scream.

both the man and beast dropped into the huge river, appearing extremely miserable.

on this journey, long chen encountered all kinds of different geniuses.

these people were all in the blood condensation realm, but the majority of them were in the late stage or even at the peak, which was a bit puzzling to long chen.

some people could, once they reached the peak of blood condensation, use various secret arts or spirit pills to seal their cultivation bases, causing them to remain within the blood condensation realm.

but those people had an absolutely terrifying combat ability. it was no wonder that the white-robed man had been filled with contempt towards long chen who was born and raised in such a weak empire.

even these kinds of geniuses here had to work hard just to join this sect. it could be seen just how terrifying the power of sects was.

his selection back then had definitely been correct. even then, he could clearly sense those various sect elders had a deep respect for tu fang.

that was why long chen had guessed that tu fang’s sect was definitely the most terrifying out of all of them. otherwise, there was no way he could expel the bloodnet sect’s zhao changxing with just a single sentence.

furthermore, zhao changxing hadn’t even dared to say anything in resistance. thus, all of long chen’s attention had been focused on tu fang.

seeing this many terrifying geniuses gathering here now, long chen was even more sure he had made the right choice.

as he continued forward, long chen was shocked to see that there were increasingly more people. they were all gathering towards the monastery.

some people were in small groups, but the majority were traveling alone. the roars of countless vicious beasts continuously echoed throughout.

suddenly, a loud boom came from the front.

“there are more people fighting again. i gotta go check it out before it’s over,” someone shouted and rushed forward.

long chen was startled and quickly urged little snow to rush forward as fast as possible. and as expected, after passing through a stretch of forest, he reached an empty ground where two people were violently fighting.

what surprised long chen was that one of them was that eagle-clawed man he had seen before.

claw images filled the sky as whistling winds were like surging sea waves, repeatedly forcing back his opponent.

“what terrifying attacks!”

“that’s eagle mountain’s ying family’s consummate technique. that person should be the ying family’s number one genius, ying mingyang.”[1]

some people were quietly whispering. they had obviously recognized this eagle-clawed man. his opponent was also fighting empty-handed. red scales appeared over his fists, appearing just like snakeskin.

as people were quietly discussing their fight, ying mingyang’s claw images, which had been filling the sky, completely disappeared. people couldn’t even tell what had happened, but his claw was now already gripping his opponent’s shoulder. that move of his had been extremely strange.

his opponent immediately didn’t dare to move in the slightest. blood flowed from his shoulder freely, his face deathly ashen.

“kid, scram back to where you came from,” said ying mingyang icily.

that person nodded dejectedly, and in front of everyone, he started walking back, causing everyone to feel pity for him.

long chen was confused; did losing mean he had to give up his registration? what was going on?

just as long chen was filled with shock, someone approached him.
