“Qin Chuan pays his respects to the Great Elder.” Qin Chuan bowed deeply with respect.
Bai Kongchen slowly opened his eyes and sized up Qin Chuan. “I heard from Elder Nangong that you are from the Lower realm?”
“Yes!” replied Qin Chuan, lowering his head.
“Lheard you’ve mastered the Law of Gravity?” Everyone’s gaze fell on him.
“It was by chance that I managed to do so.”
Qin Chuan’s heart was thumping, and his blood pressure was rising.
It had been a long time since he last experienced such great pressure.
It was like attending an interview for a big company, with a row of interviewers watching you.
“Would you be so kind as to give us a demonstration?” asked Bai Kongchen.
“Yes!”
Qin Chuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
‘After taking a few deep breaths, he finally managed to calm down and adjust his physical condition.
For a time, the entire hall fell silent to the point where even a pin drop could be heard.
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Qin Chuan slowly raised his arm. A black glow emanated from his body, and it was as though the air in the hall had become heavier.
Hum!
All of a sudden, a black ball the size of a tennis ball appeared in Qin Chuan’s palm.
The energy ball spun, causing the surrounding air to distort along with its rotation.
At the sight of this, everyone’s expressions changed, and they were mostly shocked.
“Good, very good!” said Bai Kongchen, his face full of joy.
“Not bad, Qin Chuan. Among all the geniuses in th Luo Ding Sect, your talent and potential are top-notch,” praised Bai Kongchen, overjoyed.
The other elders nodded and smiled in satisfaction.
Qin Chuan dispelled the gravity ball in his palm and bowed. “You’ve flattered me, Elder.
“Lhave some self-awareness. I’m only capable of this because I obtained some opportunities. In terms of talent and potential, I’m still inferior to those geniuses. ”
Bai Kongchen said, “There’s no need to be modest, Qin Chuan. This opportunity isn’t something that anyone can get. The fact that you were able to prove that you are extremely fortunate.
“With fate on your side, your talent and potential will only be higher than others. Even if you can’t beat them now, you will definitely surpa.s.s them in the future.”
Since the Great Elder had already put it that way, Qin Chuan couldn’t continue to be modest.
“Thank you for your approval, Great Elder. From now on, I will work even harder on my cultivation.” Qin Chuan bowed again.
“Excellent. I have high hopes for you. I hope you can s.h.i.+ne brightly among the many geniuses of the Immortal realm in the future.” Bai Kongchen stroked his long beard and stood up.
Qin Chuan bowed his head.
He knew that the pleasantries were over, and it was time to get down to business.
If my guess is correct, the purple-robed elders standing on either side should be in the Immortal King realm.
What a formidable lineup! It’s a good thing they don’t want to kill me. Otherwise, even with all my trump cards, I wouldn’t have been able to escape from their magical artifacts.
At this thought, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but feel nervous.
At this moment, Bai Kongchen stood before Qin Chuan.
“Qin Chuan, I have an important task for you today,” said Bai Kongchen.
Qin Chuan cupped his fists and said, “Thank you for thinking highly of me. Great Elder. I will definitely try my best to complete it.
“But may I be so bold as to ask, what is the mission?”
Bai Kongchen got straight to the point. “You are from the Lower realm, so you might not understand some things about the Immortal realm, but that’s not important. I’ll explain them to you in detail in the future.
“In half a month, the Demon realm will send their genius juniors to challenge the sect.
“Your mission is to represent our sect in a showdown with the geniuses of the Demon realm.
“Those who are with you are the disciples of the sect with the most talent and potential. I hope you can accept the challenge from the Demons.”
With that, Bai Kongchen lightly tapped Qin Chuan on the head.
Instantly, boundless information gushed into Qin Chuan’s mind.
Bai Kongchen said, “I’ve already given you all the relevant information regarding the origins of the Immortal realm as well as the geniuses who will be taking part in this challenge.
“Digest everything by yourself.”
Qin Chuan lowered his head. “Yes!”
Bai Kongchen continued, “Currently, there is less than half a month until the day of the challenge. Since the demons are coming prepared, your chances of winning against them, given your current cultivation realm, are slim.
“Therefore, you need to increase your cultivation realm a little before the challenge.
“But before that, I will need to test your actual combat ability.”
“Lan Lang, come and test his capabilities.”
“Yes, Great Elder!”
A moment later, a middle-aged man flew out from the group of purple-robed elders.
Upon hearing Lan Lang’s name, Qin Chuan looked up.
He remembered that name.
According to the records in the books, Lan Lang, as the Head Elder of the disciplinary office, specialized in the Sword Dao. A thousand years ago, he killed an Immortal King from the Demon race with a single sword strike, and that was how he rose to fame.
Not only was he the Head Elder of the disciplinary office, but he was also the most outstanding person in the entire division, excluding the Great Elder.
“I can’t believe he’s letting him test my strength. He thinks too highly of me.”
Qin Chuan felt helpless; it was indeed the case of a tiger going to level land getting bullied by dogs.
There was nothing he could do but agree.
Lan Lang walked up to Bai Kongchen, his gaze landing on Qin Chuan, giving him a lot of pressure.
Lan Lang was handsome. Just like the good-looking male sword immortals in the movies and television series, he fulfilled everyone’s expectations of a sword immortal.
His hair and eyebrows were different from ordinary people’s; they were sky blue and somewhat reminiscent of anime characters.
This had to do with his family’s bloodline.
Like Qin Chuan, his ancestors had also come from the Lower realm. Due to the environment and food, the humans there had experienced some changes in genetics, causing their hair to turn sky blue.
Lan Lang had a pair of sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, giving off a powerful sense of oppression.
Qin Chuan bowed deeply towards Lan Lang. “Elder Lan!”
Lan Lang nodded. “T’ll test your strength in a bit. Make some preparations!”
“Yes!” replied Qin Chuan, not daring to object.
“Tl leave it to you then!” said Bai Kongchen, patting Lan Lang on the shoulder. He then returned to the elevated platform and sat down cross-legged, preparing to spectate the fight.
He was still very confident in Lan Lang. If Qin Chuan could hold out against him for about 8 minutes, he would have a high chance of winning against the Demons.
After a brief silence.
“How’s the preparation goin,
Qin Chuan let out a deep sigh, clasped his hands, and said, “I am ready. Please guide me, Elder.”
Lan Lang said, “If you are ready, then I won’t wait any longer.
“Let me be clear. I will suppress my cultivation level to the same level as yours.
“Due to the need to test your strength in more detail, you are not allowed to use the power of nomological laws or magical artifacts during the fight. However, you are allowed to use any divine art, spells, or secret techniques.”
Qin Chuan nodded. “Understood!”
“What kind of weapon are you using?” asked Lan Lang.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment. “T!ll take the sword!”
Lan Lang’s expression changed slightly, and all the elders present were surprised.
After all, Lan Lang was a sword cultivator and an Immortal King at that! His cultivation in the Sword Dao had reached an extremely terrifying level.
Using a sword in front of him was like overestimating oneself.
