CHAPTER 1934: CHAPTER 1931: MEAT, MEAT...

Upon hearing Wu He’s words, Lin Bai glanced in his direction, remained silent, and did not respond.

Instead, Lin Bai looked at the third person.

This third person was an elderly man on the verge of dusk.

An old man? How could an old man participate in the East Continent Academy’s master apprenticeship examination?

Lin Bai frowned slightly. According to the rules of the East Continent Academy, disciples must have a bone age below thirty, yet the old man clearly seemed over a hundred.

How could a warrior over a hundred years old possibly participate in the East Continent Academy’s master apprenticeship examination?

In other words, most people on the Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain are young men; those like Yin Jiuling, who are only fifteen or sixteen, are rare indeed. An old man’s participation is unprecedented.

But when Lin Bai looked at the elderly man, a flash of spiritual light went through his mind, and his eyes lit up: "It’s him! The pale old strange man?"

Lin Bai looked at the elderly man again with a strange expression. Feng Wenjun had previously mentioned that under the master apprenticeship examination, there would be a black horse Tianjiao, an aged old man whose bone age was indeed under thirty—truly strange.

"Hehe, greetings, dear friend." The old man lightly cupped his fists and spoke with a hoarse voice, akin to that of an old person.

Lin Bai cupped his fists in return and smiled.

Then Lin Bai turned his gaze to the fourth person.

This fourth person was someone Lin Bai knew, Feng Wenjun himself.

Feng Wenjun saw Lin Bai land with his sword on the White Jade Square and walked forward with a smile, saying, "Brother Lin, you finally arrive; I thought you would wait until the last day to come up."

Lin Bai chuckled: "Didn’t expect Brother Feng to be here so early."

Feng Wenjun chuckled: "I only arrived slightly before you."

Though smiling, Feng Wenjun had heard Wu He’s words earlier and whispered in Lin Bai’s ear: "Brother Lin, you don’t need to mind that person; he’s Wu He, the first in the East Continent Heroes Record."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai naturally knew whom Feng Wenjun referred to. He glanced again at Wu He and said softly: "So he is Wu He; no wonder his words are so domineering."

Then Lin Bai pondered, could it be that in the Sixth Floor, when Lin Bai saw hundreds of puppets slaughtered in the canyon with a single strike, that person was Wu He?

Lin Bai still had a question in his mind.

Feng Wenjun pulled Lin Bai aside and whispered, "Have you seen that gray-robed young man?"

Lin Bai nodded slightly: "That person is strong."

Feng Wenjun chuckled: "He is Yin Jiuling, who defeated Lin Yibing with three techniques on the Second Floor."

Lin Bai’s eyes lit up, and he glanced at Yin Jiuling again, full of curiosity.

Feng Wenjun said: "Yin Jiuling, the first Tianjiao of the Soul-breaking Area, claims to be a demon of nine reincarnations. It’s said he has lived nine lives, but who knows if that’s true."

"Nonetheless, his strength is among the top three in this examination."

"Before you arrived, Wu He had exchanged a move with Yin Jiuling. In that move, Yin Jiuling nearly severely injured Wu He."

"Hence, Wu He harbors anger, and upon your arrival, directed it at you."

Lin Bai suddenly understood; Wu He and Yin Jiuling had already exchanged a move, but Wu He nearly got defeated by Yin Jiuling’s single strike, explaining his anger.

Feng Wenjun added: "The elderly man is indeed the pale old strange man, one of this year’s black horse Tianjiao. His background is extremely mysterious; few know what martial techniques or martial soul he possesses."

"Yet during the clash between Yin Jiuling and Wu He, the pale old strange man showed no fear, clearly interested in the abilities of the two."

"It seems the pale old strange man is qualified to challenge Yin Jiuling and Wu He."

Feng Wenjun gently reminded.

Lin Bai glanced once more at the pale old strange man, nodding slightly.

As Lin Bai and Feng Wenjun chatted together.

The pale old strange man’s eyes suddenly showed a hint of smile, with the corners of his mouth curving as he said: "Finally here, wasn’t sure you’d actually come?"

Rumble——

At the pale old strange man’s light laughter, a thunderous noise erupted from the Ninth Floor.

Lin Bai and Feng Wenjun both fixed their gaze in that direction.

In the Ninth Floor’s teleportation array, a three-meter-tall Da Han crashed through, knocking several sky-reaching trees aside, charging toward the White Jade Square.

Upon reaching the White Jade Square, Lin Bai clearly saw his appearance; this person was over three meters tall, with a broad build, his lower body clothed in animal fur, and terrifying muscles bulging all over.

His disheveled hair obscured much of his face, yet through the strands, one could vaguely see his beast-like blood-red eyes.

"Meat, meat..."

The Da Han stepped onto the square, shouting with excitement.

His every action carried an aura of terrifying strength.

"Giant Beast!"

Feng Wenjun exclaimed lightly.

Lin Bai spoke with interest: "The extraordinary black horse Tianjiao this year, the half-human giant beast?"

Feng Wenjun nodded slightly.

The pale old strange man saw the Da Han on the White Jade Square and laughed heartily: "Da Man, come here."

The Da Han clenched his fists and headed towards the pale old strange man, continuing to shout: "Meat, meat, meat..."

Apparently, that’s the only phrase he can utter!

The pale old strange man chuckled: "Alright, in seven days, I’ll take you out to eat meat."

"Hehehe, meat, meat." Hearing the pale old strange man’s promise, the Da Han broke into a child-like smile.

The Da Han sat beside the pale old strange man; even seated, his huge form seemed like a small mountain.

The pale old strange man leaned against the Da Han, seemingly unable to stand!

At this moment, Wu He glanced at the Da Han coldly and said: "Hmph, another non-human creature! Three have already arrived, and now comes another."

"Hmph."

Wu He snorted lightly.

Hearing this, Lin Bai frowned slightly, displeased, as he looked at Wu He.

The pale old strange man also looked at Wu He, his expression somewhat odd.

Even the silent gray-robed young man Yin Jiuling showed a hint of unusual light in his dead eyes, turning slightly to glance at Wu He.

The pale old strange man sneered: "Brother Wu He, please clarify, what do you mean by non-human creature?"
