In the Test Hall, the Dahuang Palace.

  Senior Yin Changkong laughed as loudly as the thunder. Later, he cast his eyesight on Yan Li with great interest, “Boy, would you be willing to be my student?”

  A Senior in Dahuang Palace should at least in the Mi realm, thus every Senior was a world-cla.s.s master.

  The course of practice was full of ups and downs.

  If someone guided you on the road, it would be easier to go further.

  In the face of Senior Yin"s earnest look, Yan Li got a little excited to accept the invitation, but then thinking of his purpose to join the Palace, he nipped it in the bud.

  “I"m sorry, Senior Yin!” Yan Li said slowly as his eyes showed a hint of apology.

  “What! He refused?”

  “Did he actually refuse Senior Yin to take him as a student?”

  The two deacons next to Senior Yin were shocked, and became extremely jealous for they had been around Senior Yin for so long a time but received no invitation.

  They served Senior Yin everyday carefully, but Senior Yin only gave them a few pieces of advice.

  But what had he done?

  Senior Yin asked Yan to be his student, but Yan turned the invitation down! That was really annoying.

  For a moment, they got an impulse to beat Yan Li!

  People feel inferior when they are compared with others.

  Yin Changkong was also surprised, and at the same time, he got a little angry.

  It was a great honor for a disciple to be asked if he wanted to be a student of a Senior. How dared he refuse me without hesitation.

  If the news was spread around, how should I face others. I would be mocked.

  Yin Changkong revealed a very kind smile, which at least he considered to be, “Boy. Since you know that I am a Senior, you should have understood that you will learn a lot as my student. I could help you pick up the guidance which matches your talent and body; I could teach you more powerful skills; what"s more, I could promise that I would transfer my foundation to you if I failed to help you break into the Xuan realm from Yuan realm.”

  “d.a.m.n!”

  On hearing the proposals, tears fell down on the faces of the two deacons next to Yin Changkong. They looked at Yan Li enviously, “Why is he so lucky?”

  He had to admitted that Yin Changkong"s offer was very attractive.

  In his previous life, he would have happily agreed.

  But it was not what it used to be.

  Even without other"s help, he was confident that within three years, or even shorter, he would be in the Xuan realm!

  After all, he had gone through the same process previously. This time it would be much easier.

  “I"m sorry, Senior Yin.”

  Yan Li replied Yin with the same words. He was speechless when looking Yin Changkong"s facial muscles shaking uncontrollably. Then he turned his head to the two deacons and asked, “Excuse me. What are my tasks for the promotion?”


  “Kill a three-level monster in the test forest and get its monster core!” One of the deacons hurriedly answered.

  “Thanks!”

  Yan Li extended the courtesy to Yin Changkong and said, “I am very grateful to your kindness. Please allow me to leave.”

  As soon as he finished the sentence, Yan Li turned away. He knew that Yin Changkong had been on the edge of losing his mind. It was best not to irritate him again. Leaving was the best tactic.

  “Stop!”

A discontent sound full of resentment rose from behind.

  “d.a.m.n.” Yan Li thought.

  But he had to turn back, “Senior Yin. What else to command me?”

  Yin Changkong"s eyes was wide open, staring at Yan Li coldly.

  But to his surprise, Yan Li did not avoid his eye contact, but looked into his eyes, with a permanent smile on his face.

  “Fine.”

  Yin Changkong swung his arms indifferently and asked in low spirit, “Why don"t you want to be mine student?””

  “Emmm…”

  For a moment, Yan Li was stuck to answer the question.

  Noticing Yan"s long silence, Yin presumed that Yan was too afraid to answer him, avoiding irritating him, so he waved his hand again, “You go. You can turn to me if you encounter any trouble in the future.”

  “Thank you, Senior Yin!”

  Extending his courtesy again, Yan Li went out of the Hall with subtle nervous. Fortunately, Senior Yin Changkong was not a narrow-minded person. It was possible that he would be expelled from the Palace if he said this to a Senior who was not as generous as Yin Changkong.

  At the same time, he got a slight feeling of admiration for Yin Changkong.

  Soon, Yan Li reached the trial forest. He joined the Palace less than a week ago, but it was the third time he came into the trial forest.

  As long as he was promoted as an in-door disciple, he could take Wu Zhongmou and Ling Er to the Palace, because the in-door disciples possessed a separate yard.

  After Yan"s departure into the trial forest, an in-door disciple walked out from afar. Looking at the back of Yan, he wore a cold smile and left quickly.

  The disciple ran swiftly through the Palace and soon reached an exquisitely decorated yard. He said in low voice, “s.h.i.+xiong Lin, Dai Zheng"s here.”

  “Come in!” A sound came from the inside.

  Dai Zheng carefully closed the door after getting into the room. He walked behind a youth who was throwing bait into the fish pond, then bowed and reported, “s.h.i.+xiong Lin, I followed your order to keep watch on Yan Li. He just went to the trial forest.”

  s.h.i.+xiong Lin slowly turned around, with his eyes flas.h.i.+ng a ray of coldness. Hesitating for a moment, he then commanded without any emotion, “Take two persons with you to follow him. Destroyed him. Remember. Do not leave any clue.”

  “Yes!”

  Dai Zheng left.

……

  In the trial forest, a figure in blue was moving fast. It was exactly Yan Li who came for the promotion task. Compared to a few days ago, his strength had been multiplied.

  He was able to kill a first-cla.s.s monster along the way in one action. Going some hundred miles into the forest, he collected more than a hundred monster cores into his backpack.

  After a few more hours, he had reached a rather deeper part of the forest, where there was no trace of a first-cla.s.s monster.

  The monsters had strong consciousness of their territories. Generally, the second-level and third-level monsters would occupy a patch of land as their territory. When other creatures were approaching, it would be considered as a challenge, and the monsters would attack them in turn.

  “Scream!”

  A beast roared. Yan Li happily rushed to the direction of the beast"s voice using his moving skills. The next moment, a huge golden-hairy lion appeared in his sight.

  “A second-cla.s.s monster, the golden-haired lion.”

  “Scream!”

  The golden lion gave a loud roar, apparently dissatisfied with Yan who had broken into his territory.

  Yan was not a b.l.o.o.d.y man, but in order to take out the monster cores, he had to kill them.

  As his right foot stepped onto the ground, Yan dexterously shot himself out in the air, and suddenly pulled out one of the two swords behind him and swung it down.

  "Scream! "

  Roaring, the lion kicked its hind legs onto the ground, jumped up to the sky as well, and slapped a pair of King-Kong-like front paws into Yan through the strong wind.

  “Puff!”

  Yan Li pa.s.sed the lion from its side.

  The big lion"s head bounced into the air, and the headless body fell to the ground.

  A long sword cut into the lion"s head.

  A pale-yellow core flew and fell into the hands of Yan Li.
