Chapter 5256: The Trial of the Strongest
“Why are you here, Chu Feng?”
Long Xiaoxiao had her beautiful eyes firmly locked on Chu Feng, not daring to look away for even the briefest instant out of fear that he would suddenly disappear.
“It’s a coincidence,” Chu Feng replied.
“Coincidence?” Long Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes in confusion, failing to grasp what Chu Feng meant.
“Cough cough…”
The white-robed man and ck-robed man walked over.
“Junior, shouldn’t you introduce your friend to us?” the ck-robed man asked.
“Chu Feng, these are my seniors.”
Long Xiaoxiao pointed to the white-robed man first, followed by the ck-robed man. “First Senior Cheng Tianchan. Second Senior, Zhao Yunmo..”
Then, she looked at her two seniors and said, “First Senior and Second Senior, this is the most talented prodigy of our Holy Light Gxy who I often tell you about, Chu Feng.”
“That sure is a coincidence. I didn’t think that I’d meet Brother Chu Feng here.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Brother Chu,”
Both Cheng Tianchan and Zhao Yunmo sped their fists toward Chu Feng
“Same here.” Chu Feng sped his fist in response.
Long Xiaoxiao proceeded to share what had happened to her after her parting with Chu Feng.
Back then, she was inflicted with a mysterious illness that couldn’t be treated no matter what they tried. Despite being in aa, whenever the stars appeared in the night, she would raise her hand and point at the sky. The location where she was pointing was none other than the Totem Gxy.
It was one thing if it had only happened once or twice, but she did it every night. The stars never remained in the same position, but she would always urately point out the Totem Gxy.
Thus, her parents deduced that the cure to Long Xiaoxiao’s illnessy in the Totem Gxy, which led to them bringing her here.
Astonishingly, Long Xiaoxiao regained consciousness as soon as she arrived at the Totem Gxy. Her bloodline also underwent changes that advanced her cultivation, propping her up to rank one Martial Exalted level. It even triggered a phenomenon.
The phenomenon drew in a powerful cultivator, who was impressed by her and took Long Xiaoxiao in as a disciple. This powerful cultivator had two other disciples, Cheng Tianchan and Zhao Yunmo.
None of this belonged to this realm. They were only here to handle a task, but by a stroke of coincidence, they learned about a series of abductions that had happened and investigated the matter. Their investigation eventually led them to Constetion Hall.
Chu Feng also told her how he had gotten here.
“So, you came here to save me? That sure is a coincidence.”
A radiant smile blossomed on Long Xiaoxiao’s gorgeous face when she learned that Chu Feng was here to save her. Her vibrant left Cheng Tianchan and Zhao Yunmo feeling a little ufortable.
They had long heard about Chu Feng from Long Xiaoxiao as she often praised him to the high heavens, but in their view, the Holy Light Gxy was nothing more than a remote countryside that even dogs would avoid.
Even their strongest prodigy was likely to be no more than trash. It was unthinkable to them that anyone formidable could havee from there. Long Xiaoxiao only thought that Chu Feng was formidable because she hadn’t seen how huge the word was.
The two of them never thought that Chu Feng was a match for them, and they were confident that they could easily win Long Xiaoxiao’s heart.
Yet, it was clear as day to them that Long Xiaoxiao harbored feelings for Chu Feng. From the moment he appeared, her eyes had hardly left him. Even the smile on her face was something they had never seen before.
They had done many things to win Long Xiaoxiao’s heart, and thetter, being an outgoing person, was never shy when it came to expressing her delight either. However, she had never shown such tion before.
“See! There’s something wrong with the gazes of those two fellows. I told you that they’ll be your love rivals, but you refused to believe me. I reckon that they are cooking up schemes to secretly dispose of you lest you be an eyesore. You should be careful around them,” Eggy said.
Chu Feng also noticed the subtle changes in their expressions, but he chose to feign ignorance. As long as they didn’t do anything detrimental to him or Long Xiaoxiao, he wouldn’t make things hard for them.
“Chu Feng, we’ll be participating in the Trial of the Strongest. Why don’t youe along with us?” Long Xiaoxiao proposed.
“I’ll pass on that. I shan’t get in the way of your trial,” Chu Feng replied.
He hade here out of worry for Long Xiaoxiao’s safety, but now that he had confirmed that Long Xiaoxiao was safe and had even found a powerful master, he wanted to turn his attention back to dealing with the Situ World Spiritist n.
“Brother Chu Feng, this trial is open to the whole Totem Gxy. You have been in the Totem Gxy for quite some time now, but you haven’t heard of the Trial of the Strongest before?” Cheng Tianchan asked.
“I’m afraid not,” Chu Feng replied.
“Chu Feng, this is no ordinary trial. There’s a lot you can gain from it. It’s hosted by the Totem Dragon n, and they have spent three thousand years preparing for it. This is an opportunity not to be missed,” Long Xiaoxiao said.
“The Totem Dragon n has spent three thousand years preparing for it?”
Chu Feng was initially uninterested in the trial, but his interest was piqued when he heard that the Totem Dragon n had spent such a long time preparing it.
“What kind of trial is it?” he asked.
Cheng Tianchan, Zhao Yunmo, and Long Xiaoxiao quickly filled him in on the details.
To put it simply, the Trial of the Strongest was a tournament. There were four categories in the tournament, namely early Martial Exalted level,te Martial Exalted level, early Half-God level, andte Half-God level.
Early Martial Exalted level was defined to be cultivators between rank one Martial Exalted level to rank five.
Late Martial Exalted level was defined to be cultivators between rank six Martial Exalted level to rank nine.
Early Half-God level was defined to be cultivators between rank one Half-God level to rank five.
Late Half-God level was defined to be cultivators between rank six Half-God level to rank nine.
Interestingly, there were no age restrictions in all of the categories, and there were generous prizes to be won. All cultivators who participated in the tournament would receive something in return, just that the prizes hadn’t been announced yet.
However, the champions of each category would receive the Strongest Token.
“Those in possession of the Strongest Token will be entitled to the protection of the Totem Dragon n. It can only be used once, but what’s more important is that it embodies the recognition of the Totem Dragon n. Those who obtain this token will gain great prestige throughout the world of cultivation and receive the favor of countless powers. I wonder who will be the champion this time around,” Cheng Tianchan said enviously.
“I never thought that the Trial of the Strongest wouldmence so abruptly. Had I known in advance, I would have suppressed my cultivation at rank five Martial Exalted level. I might have stood a chance that way,” Zhao Yunmo said inmentation.
“Second Senior, you wouldn’t be a match for them even if you had suppressed your cultivation. You should know how many prodigies have been suppressing their cultivation ever since the Totem Dragon n announced the event three thousand years ago.
“Many of them were renowned prodigies back in their era, though they were now three-thousand-year-old elders now. They chose to suppress their cultivation for so many years just to make their name in this fight.
“Furthermore, I heard that some of them have been nourishing their bodies using a special method to umte energy. This umted energy can only be released once, but you can be certain of its destructive prowess. Those people are just waiting for the Trial of the Strongest tomence so that they can show the world what they are capable of!
“Some even dered that they would die with no regrets as long as they could im the title of the strongest!” Cheng Tianchan said.
“Eyy, you’re right. Those people are too tenacious. The young master of the Brokensword Mountain Manor, Ouyang Canjian, is one good example. He was a prodigy who awed the entire gxy by reaching rank nine Martial Exalted level at ny, but for the sake of excelling in the Trial of the Strongest, he suppressed his cultivation to this day.
“I heard that he hasn’t been cking around over the past three thousand years. He devoted his time to master all of the martial skills of the Brokensword Mountain Manor. I reckon that he’ll be the champion for thete Martial Exalted level category,” Zhao Yunmo said.
“That’s hard to say. As formidable as Ouyang Canjian is, the juniors of the current generation aren’t to be made light of. There are at least four juniors who are able to put up a fight against Ouyang Canjian,” Cheng Tianchan said.
“Well, that’s true too.”
Zhao Yunmo didn’t deny those words. He was aware of how formidable the juniors of the present generation were.
“Is the Totem Dragon n not participating in the Trial of the Strongest?” Chu Feng asked.
He couldn’t help but notice that none of the names they had mentioned belonged to the Totem Dragon n. It seemed like the Totem Dragon n wasn’t participating in the tournament even though they were the ones hosting it.
“That’s right. No one from the Totem Dragon n is participating in the early Martial Exalted level,te Martial Exalted level, andte Half-God level categories,” Cheng Tianchan said.
“I see,” Chu Feng replied with a nod. “So, they are only participating in the early Half-God level category?”
“That’s right,” Cheng Tianchan replied.
“How unlucky,” Chu Feng remarked.
His interest in the Trial of the Strongest had already been piqued, but he was at an awkward position due to the recent breakthrough in his spirit power. Going by the ssifications, he was only eligible for the early Half-God level trial, but that happened to be the category which the Totem Dragon n was participating in as well.
“Only the juniors of the Totem Dragon n will be participating, but it’s almost confirmed that Long Chengyu would clinch the champion seat for the early Half-God level category,” Cheng Tianchan said.
“Who is Long Chengyu?” Chu Feng asked.
“You don’t even know Long Chengyu?”
Both Cheng Tianchan and Zhao Yunmo were surprised to hear that question.
