Chapter 210 First Round Ends

" Little brother, You are truly fast." A young woman like a fairy descended before Long Ming as she smiled at her. Showing a sealed gate, she chuckled.

" As you can see, you have reached the exit before the time ended. So, You should take your time and choose a reward."

" A reward, huh?" Long Ming chuckled as he looked at her. " So, what sort of reward I am getting?"

The girl smiled as she clapped her hand, making a giant shelf appear out of nowhere. " There are the treasures you can choose from."

" This is Blazing Lava Sword, A powerful Noble grade weapon which is full of flame attribute energy."

" And this is Jade Silk Armor, It can easily defend against attack from a Harmonization Realm cultivator as long as you keep providing energy."

" However, you should take your time and choose carefully. It's not like we are lacking any treasures."

Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at the woman. " However, I am interested in something else, something other than these treasures."

" Oh? And what's that?" The woman asked with a grin. " What is the thing you desire?"

Long Ming laughed nefariously as he stretched out his arm, holding the waist of the woman as he tried to strip her clothes. The woman kissed Long Minga she didn't resist. But strange enough, after stripping the clothes, she looked less alluring.

Sighing deeply, Long Ming pushed her away. " These array formation masters...Why do they do such half ass work? If you want to put an illusion of seduction, at least make the girl sexy."

" Tch, What can I expect from hundred year old geezers anyway? It's a pity to see such a lack of imagination." Long Ming sighed as he moved and waved his hand. Suddenly, the shelves filled with treasures, the luxurious room, the beautiful woman, everything vanished like smoke. Walking to a nearby wall, Lon Ming raised his fist as he punched the wall.

*BOOOOM*

With a loud crack, the wall exploded, showing a pitch black portal. It gave off an eerie feeling as if something dangerous was lurking beyond the portal. However, Long Ming stepped into it without any concern.

The moment he stepped into it, the palace vanished as warning sunlight caressed his face. Looking at the bright sky and cheering crowd, Long Ming stretched his arms leisurely.

" Did I come out too early? I tried to take my time before coming out though?"

Suddenly, the crowd became silent as they gazed at Long Ming. Long Ming was also startled as he looked at the burning incense stick.

" Whaaaat? It's not even one incense stick of time passed?" Long Ming was dumbfounded as he finally understood the reason why everyone gave him a strange glance.

However, seeing the big screens outside, Long Ming's face darkened. ' Wait, Could it be..."

With a shrunken neck, he looked at where Xia Yuqing was sitting. Although she sat with a calm exterior, Long Ming could feel the gaze filled with coldness.

Wei Zhu who was administrating the test looked at Long Ming with a smile and amazement. " Haha, Very good! You are the first one to come out from the illusion palace. What's your name?"

" Long Ming, from Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming cupped his fist as he bowed lightly. " Well, Since I have cleared the test, shall I go and take some rest?"

" Indeed, You are free to go." Wei Zhu paused for a moment before nodding. Long Ming jumped as he went straight to the camp of Four Seasons Valley.

" Well, I have to admit. Little Brother Long is a...Romantic person." Meng Zhi chuckled as she looked at Long Ming. " You weren't tempted by treasure yet courted the girl..."

Long Ming chuckled," Well, She isn't as beautiful as Elder Meng or Master. I was just playing with it because I knew it was an illusion."

" Hmph, No need to hide that blackened heart of yours. I know what kind of rebellious disciple you are." Xia Yuqing snorted lightly as she heard Long Ming's explanation.

" Of course, Master knows." Long Ming gave a sly smile. " As long as Master wishes, this disciple is ready offer his service once again."

Hearing Long Ming's words, Xia Yuqing's body trembled lightly as rosy clouds appeared on her cheeks, making her glance at Long Ming fiercely. Meng Zhi pretended to not understand anything. Thankfully, Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian weren't there. Else Long Ming had to wreck his brain to think the ways to appease them. Not after long, A young man jumped out from the array formation as he looked around.

" Haha, I guess I am first."

Long Ming raised his eyebrows as he realized he knew this young man. He was none other than Han Cheng, the disciple of Heavenly Cloud Garden of Central Province. Han Cheng got the first prize in the Wine Gathering of the Ancient Liu Family. Not to mention, Since a month had passed, Long Ming could see the obvious growth in his cultivation.

' He already reached the Harmonization Realm, Huh? Not to mention, It's possible that his Royal Grade Dark Sky Demon Ape bloodline already achieved a breakthrough. In terms of strength, he might be able to match Mu Qinglian's strength.' Long Ming thought inwardly.

Han Cheng looked around with a smile. However, his face became surprised as he saw the glowing name of Long Ming on the board.

" Wait, Someone already came out of the palace even before me?"

Han Cheng was shocked as he looked at Long Ming's name. With a thoughtful smile, he nodded and returned to his place after reporting his name.

Meanwhile, The crowd was going crazy as they saw Han Cheng.

" Could it be the illusion palace is really easy? It's not even half of the time passed yet two young men already came out."

" Hmm, Maybe they decreased this year's difficulty?"

"Let's see."

Soon, Two more cultivation walked out from the formation. Their dazzling robes made everyone gaze at them. novE.lB-In

" Look, He is Xuan Haoyi of Holy Qilin Imperial Academy. I heard he is the grandson of Grand Preceptor of the Holy Qilin Empire."

" As for the second person..."

" Sky Martial Tower! He is Lao Gang, Core Disciple of Sky Martial Tower."

" Heh, It looks like Holy Qilin Imperial Academy increased its standard this year, eh?" Lao Gang laughed as he looked at Xuan Haoyi. " However, I was a breath faster than you, you know?"

" That doesn't matter." Xuan Haoyi shook his head calmly as he looked at the leaderboard. " There is no point as two people have already beaten us."

Lao Gang's expression changed as he looked at the board. The shining names of Long Ming and Han Cheng made him frown.

" Damn it, Who are these guys? How can they be faster than me?" Lang Gang snorted as he reported his name and walked away.

Looking at Lao Gang, Loming committed the uniform of Sky Martial Twer in his heart. ' If I ever see them in the future, I will simply beat them. Yeah, That's right.' Long Ming nodded with a smile.

Surprisingly, Three people came out next, and Luo Yingying was one of them. " Damn it, The last phase was so hard. It took too much of my time."

" Eh? Senior Brother is first?" Luo Yingying was stunned as she saw the shining name of Long Ming.

" It's not fair!" She stomped her feet angrily. " I taught him the runic art. How could he do better than me who has been studying it for years?"

But she was naturally happy to see Long Ming taking the first place. Not long after, more and more disciples came out.

" Look! So many of the Four Seasons Valley's disciples came out. I don't think they faced much of difficulties."

" Indeed, Out of other sects of the Holy Qilin Empire, only the Holy Qilin Imperial Academy and Six Swords Pavilion could contend the Four Seasons Valley in this competition."

" To think Four Seasons Valley strengthened back their sect so much."

Everyone from Four Seasons Valley came out not long after Lu Yingying. Before the time ended, most disciples of major sects passed through the trial. However, those who are from small families, sects, or rouge cultivators had a hard time in the test. " Alright, The time has ended." Wei Heizhu's voice echoed as the palace vanished.

" Those who couldn't come outside the palace are disqualified."
