Chapter 128 Three Heros Two Beauties

Faction? Rely on? What do you mean?

Guo Ran looked as Long Chen strangely . When brother Long left, didnt your family give you some information about the monastery?

Long Chen shook his head . Having family mentioned, his heart became somber . He wondered how his mother was .

While he had been home, his had been his mothers main support . Now that he had left, his mother was probably greatly affected .

Oh, then we should find a place to have a proper conversation . Guo Ran waved his hand and a round thing ran over .

When it arrived, Long Chen realized it was a huge, pitch-black mouse three meters long .

Brother Guos steed is pretty unique, Long Chen couldnt help laughing .

Guo Ran didnt take offense . This is my companion that has been with me since I was a child . We grew up together . Dont look down on him; he runs extremely fast .

The two of them found an isolated place and sat down . Guo Ran took out some refreshments and began to eat and converse with Long chen .

Brother Long should know about the three heroes two beauties, right? asked Guo Ran .

Nope . Long Chen shook his head .

Pffft! Guo Ran spit out his food . What, you dont even know about this? Then your information really is nothing! Guo Ran took out a beast hide from his ring . The words on that page were extremely small and densely packed . There had to be tens of thousands of words on it .

Guo Ran glanced at the beast hide and was slightly startled . He read it over again, then looked at Long Chen with shock . Why isnt your name on the registration list?

I dont know . Long Chen could only shake his head .

Guo Ran took a deep breath and asked suspiciously, Do you not have an registration card?

I do . Long Chen directly handed over his registration card to Guo Ran . Although he hadnt know him for long, Long Chen sensed that he wasnt a bad person .

Guo Ran glanced over the registration card and exclaimed, The Law Enforcement Elder?! You know the Enforcement Elder? Guo Ran looked at Long Chen with disbelief .

Are you talking about Elder Tu Fang? asked Long Chen .

Yes, Elder Tu Fang is an extremely powerful Elder in our monastery . Hes very upright and strict . He is very trusted . Guo Ran looked at Long Chen with admiration, obviously thinking Long Chen was a relative or had a close relation to Tu Fang .

Long Chen shook his head . Ive only met with Elder Tu Fang once . After giving me this registration card and a map, there was nothing else between us .

Long Chen told Guo Ran about his interactions with Tu Fang . Most of what he had to explain was finished with just a sentence as he truly didnt have much of a relation with Tu Fang .

It seems brother Long must truly be a talented genius . Otherwise the Enforcement Elder wouldnt give such a registration card to you . The monasterys standards are extremely strict, and even the experts on the Elder level only have one registration card to give out . Furthermore, I havent heard of the Enforcement Elder handing out a registration card in many years . Brother Long must definitely be an extraordinary person for the Enforcement Elder to recognize your talent, exclaimed Guo Ran with admiration .

We got a bit off track . How about we return to that three heros two beauties you mentioned? Long Chen was curious about this .

And so Guo Ran began to tell Long Chen about the monastery . The Xuantian Monastery would select disciples every three years, but all the people who registered were already set one year in advance .

Those people who didnt have a registration card like that youth Long Chen had encountered previously were all expelled before they could even take the test .

Once the registration list had been set, Guo Ran had begun to gather information on the registrants . Of course, he didnt need to gather information on all of them, but just the more powerful ones with the highest potential .

It went without saying that Guo Ran was an extremely deliberate person . Long before he had set out, he had already recorded the names, backgrounds, temperaments, and special skills of all the more famous registrants .

Even when it came to the less famous registrants, as long as there was information, he wrote it down . But as for the three heroes two beauties, that wasnt something he had come with, but something that was publicly recognized .

That was because it wasnt only Guo Ran who was so meticulous . Others had also done their own investigations . That was what it meant to know yourself, know your enemy .

The three heroes were three young men . They were Lei Qianshang, Qi Xin, and Yue Zifeng . It was said that they were all peak talents .

As for the two beauties, that naturally pointed to two young women . One was called the ice beauty Ye Zhiqiu, while the other was also an equally unmatched beauty called Tang Wan-er .

He didnt know why, but when Long Chen heard Ye Zhiquis name, he immediately thought of that woman who had been standing atop that multi-colored bird .

If that really had been her, then those three heroes two beauties were definitely at the top level .

Although they hadnt exchanged blows, Long Chen had experienced many life and death battles that had caused his perception of experts to become incredibly keen . That icy woman was definitely a terrifying opponent .

Guo Ran continued, saying that in the future, the entire Xuantian Monastery would be theirs to control . And that was why Guo Ran recommended finding a faction to rely on .

That was because the Xuantian Monastery wasnt the same as other sects . The competition was extremely intense inside . Other than core disciples, any other disciples had to complete missions in order to obtain resources .

But there were never enough missions to go around, and so the disciples were like wolves fighting over a piece of meat .

And that was how such an intense competition had arisen . According to the past experiences, the monastery wouldnt oppose disciples forming their own factions, saying that this was also a kind of tempering for their disciples .

Only the powerful factions would have more opportunities and thus more cultivation resources . That was why joining a powerful faction was extremely important .

Furthermore, your vision definitely had to be sure . That was because once you were in a faction, it was almost impossible to switch to a different one .

Each core disciples would have the right to possess their own mountain . With the support of a formation, the spiritual qi on those mountains would be much denser, allowing one to cultivate twice as fast with half the effort .

Core disciples would all choose a couple aides to cultivate with them . That was a reward to the capable members of their faction . After all, a faction could not just rely on a single person .

And so Guo Rans goal was on those five people . And it wasnt just Guo Ran . Almost everyone hoped to join one of their factions . That was also an intense competition .

Furthermore, it was said that many people who were waiting in line to join their faction had already begun to take action, secretly sending gifts and even marriage contracts . Listening to all this caused Long Chen to be dumbstruck . This was much more complicated than he had thought .

Guo Ran, who do you think is the strongest amongst those five? asked Long Chen . He wanted to hear Guo Rans thinking since he had gathered a great deal of information .

Guo Ran shook his head regretfully . Those five are all monsters with unlimited battle strength . They can easily fight across realms .

They can all fight across realms? Long Chen was shocked .

Guo Ran nodded . The most crazy of them all would have to be Lei Qianshang . Its said that last year he killed three Muscle Rebirth disciples from a sect, causing a huge ruckus .

Three sect disciples? Now Long Chen was truly shocked .

Yes . That sect was infuriated at that time, but the Lei family also has its own foundation and wasnt afraid of them . A war almost exploded between them . But in the end the matter was left unsettled . From that moment on, Lei Qianshangs great name became famous . No one else in the same generation dares to fight against him, sighed Guo Ran .

Long Chen was definitely shocked . A year ago he was already able to fight one against three, killing three Muscle Rebirth sect disciples . That kind of combat ability was too frightening .

Lei Qianshang has his Lei familys thunder[1] inheritance . Not only is his combat ability shocking, his physical body is powerful without compare . He has never lost to someone within the same level .

Although Lei Qianshang is admittedly powerful, the others arent far off . Qi Xin and Yue Zifeng have also killed Muscle Rebirth experts .

But theyre comparatively more low-key and didnt immediately become famous . Thus, no one knows whose strength really is the greatest .

As for the ice beauty of the two beauties, she comes from the Misty Ice Peak . She possesses an innate ice-cold spiritual qi . When her spiritual qi circulates, those on the same level as her cannot even approach her before turning into ice statues . Just how would you fight against her?

The most mysterious one would have to Tang Wan-er . Ive never been able to gather any information about her, but someone leaked that she possesses an extremely rare wind soul[2] .

Ah , the wind soul is favored by the heavens . By using the winds energy, she is able to kill enemy formlessly . Just how terrifying is that?

So those five are all monsters, existences that have no match within the same realm . As long as they dont fight each other, no one knows just who is stronger or weaker, emotionally sighed Guo Ran .

Within Guo Rans family, he was also a peak existence to some degree and was called a genius . But after arriving, he was completely suppressed by these freaks .

Then which faction are you planning on relying on? asked Long Chen .

Of those five powers, basically all the spots are full . Trying to squeeze your way in would be extremely difficult, as everyone has already long since taken action . For me, its already too late .

Amongst the five, Lei Qianshang is the most violent, while Ye Zhiqiu is the most icy, so neither are easy to approach .

Ive heard the most amicable one would be Tang Wan-er, but its precisely because of that friendliness of hers that countless people are already lined up for her . And so I basically have no hope of getting close to her either .

Right now I was just trying to take advantage of the remaining time to earn some more medicinal pills . With those resources, I was hoping to see whether I could muddy my way into either Qi Xin or Lue Zifengs factions, said Guo Ran . What are you thinking?

Me? I dont have any plans . Ill just take everything step by step . Long Chen smiled slightly .

Then you arent planning on joining any faction? Guo Ran was puzzled .

Yeah, I prefer to do things on my own . Long Chen nodded . Now he had left home . Although he felt a bit of a loss, he also had a feeling of freedom, like a horse that had thrown off its reins . He wanted to be as free as possible and no longer suffer any more restrictions .

Although those demon monster-class figures were extremely terrifying, Long Chen wasnt afraid of them . As long as he didnt find any trouble with them, everything would be fine . And if they really did fight, then he was actually interested in seeing just how powerful such freaks were .

Guo Ran shook his head . Although you might also be an extremely powerful genius, Id still advise you that those five arent human, but monsters . Youll definitely suffer greatly which will impact your cultivation .

Long Chen was about to reply when an angry roar suddenly rang out, shaking the mountain forest .

BRAT, THIS MASTER HAS FINALLY FOUND YOU!
