CHAPTER 1295: CHAPTER 1296: END OF THE TRIAL

Liu Ya couldn’t help but marvel at the reaction she saw.

When Chu Fengmian was on the Demon Ancient Continent, he was invincible, almost sweeping through all geniuses.

Unexpectedly, now that he’s in the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, in just a few days, Chu Fengmian has already established unrivaled prestige, and no one dares to provoke him anymore.

Even the newcomer king, Mu Shao, now has to fall under Chu Fengmian, but Chu Fengmian doesn’t care for such a title.

If he is to dominate, it would be to dominate the entire Saint Dragon Secret Realm; a mere generation of newcomers means nothing.

Liu Ya gazed at Chu Fengmian, scrutinizing him. She found that now she increasingly couldn’t see through Feng Mian.

The strength Chu Fengmian has shown before her is already incredibly terrifying, yet now that Chu Fengmian killed the Blood Prince, it proves that his power is far more terrifying than he displays.

"Just some trump cards,"

Chu Fengmian casually replied, hearing the curiosity in Liu Ya’s words.

Seeing Chu Fengmian unwilling to answer, Liu Ya didn’t press further, only smiling lightly, standing quietly by Chu Fengmian’s side.

Seeing this scene, many disciples of the Saint Dragon Secret Realm looked on with jealousy.

Although they were unclear about Liu Ya’s background, according to rumors, she had some connections with the Ancient Emperor Fenghou.

The Ancient Emperor Fenghou, who became an Ancient Emperor a hundred years ago, now possesses strength enough to rank mid to upper among the Supreme Elders of the Saint Dragon Secret Realm.

Her unparalleled talent suffices to describe the Ancient Emperor Fenghou. Rumors even suggest she is among the strongest in the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, most likely to step into the Heavenly Human Realm.

Even many ancient emperors wish to associate with Ancient Emperor Fenghou; seeing Chu Fengmian with Liu Ya suggests they have a good relationship. Perhaps Chu Fengmian might even be able to ally with Ancient Emperor Fenghou.

Then, who in the Saint Dragon Secret Realm would dare provoke Chu Fengmian?

"Hm!"

Standing nearby was a group of martial artists, at the center of whom was Mu Shao.

Previously at the Bai Gu Divine Temple, Mu Shao was the quickest to flee, making it so that when Chu Fengmian later wanted to kill him, he never found a trace of him.

Now, seeing Chu Fengmian’s relationship with Liu Ya, Mu Shao’s eyes were filled with jealousy, especially when he looked at Chu Fengmian, as if he would kill him given the chance.

If not for Chu Fengmian, this year’s newcomer king would undoubtedly be Mu Shao. When Mu Shao first arrived in the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, everyone anticipated it. Even many elders gave him face, making him infinitely popular for a time.

But ever since encountering Chu Fengmian, all of this was lost. Now, with Chu Fengmian having killed the Blood Prince, his reputation was immense. Many disciples of the Mu Emperor Association were worried about Chu Fengmian’s revenge and left one by one.

"Young Mu, don’t worry, this boy just happened to gain favor. Once in the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, can he truly rival the Mu family?"

Several martial artists beside Mu Shao whispered.

"Besides, this girl hasn’t yet committed to that kid. Once in the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, let Young Mu show his skills and surely she will come to her senses."

Hearing this, Mu Shao’s expression improved a bit, suddenly flashing as he looked toward Chu Fengmian.

"Indeed, it’s time to knock down that boy’s arrogance."

No matter how remarkable Chu Fengmian’s current display is, once in the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, with the Mu family backing him, would he fear Chu Fengmian?

Boom.

As the crowd discussed, a figure emerged from within the copper gate.

Accompanying it came a huge Heaven and Earth Power, arriving together with this figure.

Chu Fengmian sensed this aura and naturally knew that this person was yet another Ancient Emperor.

This time, it was an elder who appeared, looking sleepily as though nothing affected him.

Even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him, he would remain unfazed.

"It’s the Ancient Emperor Songzhu."

"He’s one of the veteran Ancient Emperors of the Saint Dragon Secret Realm."

Several disciples of the Saint Dragon Secret Realm recognized the elder’s identity.

Many ancient emperors within the Saint Dragon Secret Realm were once renowned super geniuses on the continents in their youth, like this Ancient Emperor Songzhu, who in his younger years, was a force that shook countless continents.

Only later did he join the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, becoming low-key and silent, yet his legend continued to spread across the continents.

Encountering an Ancient Emperor so closely, even though this Ancient Emperor Songzhu was not displaying much prowess, was enough to make many disciples of the Saint Dragon Secret Realm feel breathless.

However, Chu Fengmian felt nothing. He had withstood the rage of the Young Emperor, making this little bit of power trivial, especially when the Young Emperor is far more powerful than this Ancient Emperor Songzhu.

"Oh?"

Ancient Emperor Songzhu appeared, glancing around, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise when looking at Chu Fengmian.

Before him, being unaffected by any power normally required one to be at least of the Four Tribulations True Emperor level.

Yet now, Chu Fengmian, at just the Immortal Realm, could already do so, proving his strength.

"Not bad, a good seedling."

Ancient Emperor Songzhu softly praised Chu Fengmian.

Hearing this praise made Mu Shao’s face turn incredibly hideous.

If not for Chu Fengmian, he would have been the most dazzling figure among the newcomers this year. Mu Shao, as long as he wasn’t pitted against particularly outstanding newcomers, would have been exceedingly brilliant.

But now, Chu Fengmian’s brilliance completely overshadowed him, preventing him from lifting his head.

"Thank you, Ancient Emperor,"

Chu Fengmian looked at Ancient Emperor Songzhu, bowing gratefully.

"Hm."

Ancient Emperor Songzhu, having spoken, moved his gaze away from Chu Fengmian.

He merely held a bit of admiration for Chu Fengmian’s talent but had no intention of taking him as a disciple; a single praise was enough.

"This time, the assessment ends early, but the rules remain unchanged. All disciples of the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, pass through the copper gate and return to the Saint Dragon Secret Realm! Everyone is considered to have passed the assessment! Rankings will be determined by the number of magic bones obtained!"

Ancient Emperor Songzhu surveyed the crowd, slowly opening his mouth.

"The more magic bones obtained, the greater the chance of being favored by the Eight Halls, or even the Four Sects. Representatives from the Four Sects will attend the examination this time, so perform well."

After finishing, Ancient Emperor Songzhu turned around, casting a wave of spiritual power into the copper gate.

Open!

The copper gate opened, linking to the Saint Dragon Secret Realm. One by one, the disciples of the Saint Dragon Secret Realm stepped in, and Chu Fengmian followed the crowd inside.
