Chapter 75: Hundred Demon Battlefield

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Elder…Elder Fan?”

...

Su Chen looked at the figure in front of him and muttered softly.

The person standing in front of him was Elder Fan, who had killed tens of thousands of dark creatures that day.

At this moment, Su Chen was full of doubts.

Logically speaking, Elder Fan was not in charge of the matters of the core disciples’ competition.

There was something wrong with his appearance here today.

Did Elder Fan come here to take him in as a disciple?

There had always been a rule in the Great Mystery Sect that as long as one became a core disciple, they could choose an elder to be their master.

Of course.

The elders could also choose the core disciples they liked and take them in as disciples.

Once a core disciple successfully apprenticed himself or herself to an elder, his or her identity would automatically be transformed from a core disciple to a true disciple.

In fact, there was no difference in treatment between core disciples and true disciples.

The only difference was that one had a master and the other didn’t.

If Su Chen did not have the system with him, he would definitely choose Elder Fan as his master without hesitation.

Unfortunately, he had the system!

Moreover, he did not think that Elder Fan could give him much guidance in terms of cultivation.

Instead of apprenticing himself to Elder Fan and making him feel doubtful about his life every day, it was better for him to cultivate alone.

At least he felt carefree by cultivating alone and could go wherever he wanted.

If he had a master, he would not have such freedom and would have to report to his master before leaving the sect.

“Nephew Su!”

At this moment.

Elder Fan slowly turned around and sized Su Chen up. He said with a satisfied and approving expression, “You’ve become a core disciple from an inner disciple in just a month. You’re the first in the entire history of the Great Mystery Sect to do so!”

Su Chen suppressed the confusion in his heart and smiled. “It’s all thanks to the sect’s teachings.”

Elder Fan laughed heartily and shook his head. “I don’t agree with you. I know what kind of geniuses the Great Mystery Sect can teach. Just now, you paused for a moment after entering the door. Did you think that I came today to take you in as a disciple?”

At this point, Elder Fan looked at Su Chen meaningfully.

His eyes were filled with hope and also a hint of helplessness.

If Su Chen really apprenticed himself to him, it would be the most glorious thing in his life.

After all, he had become a core disciple within a month of entering the inner sect.

If he were to continue cultivating at such a speed, what would happen in ten years?

Moreover, this was the first prodigy to enter the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm since the founding of the Great Mystery Sect!

But at the same time, Elder Fan also knew that with his strength, he would not be able to teach Su Chen.

Therefore, the expression in his eyes was very complicated.

He was pleasantly surprised to see a prodigy, but he also felt helpless when he suddenly realized that he could not teach a prodigy.

“Elder Fan is indeed wise. I was indeed thinking about the same thing just now.”

Su Chen nodded gently.

Sincerity was a powerful weapon that never failed.

As expected, Elder Fan’s expression changed when he heard this. He asked tentatively,

“Then what are you…”

He had wanted to ask Su Chen what he was thinking.

But before he could finish, he suddenly laughed at himself and waved his hand. “I will not bring disgrace upon myself. A few days ago, even the sect leader personally said that even if he accepted you as a disciple, there was nothing he could teach you. If I take you in as my disciple, I’m afraid it will delay your cultivation.”

“Elder, you’re being too modest. With your abilities, even teaching a young great emperor will be more than appropriate.”

Hearing Elder Fan’s words, Su Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

“Hahaha…”

Elder Fan laughed heartily and patted Su Chen’s shoulder. “I didn’t expect Nephew Su to have such a side. I thought you were as arrogant as the other prodigies. In that case, I won’t say any more nonsense.”

At this point, Elder Fan’s expression suddenly became serious. He said solemnly, “I came to find you today for two things!”

After that, Elder Fan flipped his palm and a tray appeared in his palm.

On it was a purple robe, a jade plate, and a green sword.

“Firstly, this is the clothes of the core disciple, the identity jade plate, and the low-grade spiritual treasure that I have just refined from the corpses of the dark creatures.”

Su Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard that. His attention was completely attracted by the green longsword.

“Thank you, Elder.”

He cupped his hands and took the tray.

A low-grade spiritual treasure was a treasure that only inner sect elders could possess!

Moreover, it was refined from the corpses of dark creatures. An ordinary middle-grade spiritual treasure might not be as valuable as this longsword.

“I won’t say much about the identity jade plate and clothes, they are the same as inner sect disciples. However, this low-grade spiritual treasure still requires you to bind it with your blood and give it a name.”

Elder Fan looked at Su Chen and explained.

“I understand.”

Su Chen quickly nodded and squeezed out a drop of blood essence to make the green longsword recognize him as its master.

Buzz…

The moment the blood essence dripped, the green longsword trembled violently.

A terrifying sword intent spread out from the sword.

The green longsword’s body spewed out endless divine light.

Su Chen’s expression changed. The green longsword turned into a stream of light and entered his body.

“Then I’ll call you Guiyun!”

Looking at the green longsword lying on his sea of Qi, Su Chen muttered softly.

“Guiyun, good name!”

Seeing Su Chen put away the green sword, Elder Xie praised him.

Then, he paused and continued, “Secondly… The sect needs you to make a trip to the Imperial Supreme City!”

“Imperial Supreme City?”

Su Chen repeated in surprise. He raised his head and looked at Elder Fan in confusion.

The reason why he was surprised was that the Imperial Supreme City had another name. It was the imperial city of the Dachu Empire!

The Dachu Empire ruled over tens of millions of miles. In the territory of Dachu, there were more than a dozen sects similar to the Great Mystery Sect in terms of strength!

Among them, there were two or three that were stronger than the Great Mystery Sect!

“Yes.”

Elder Fan noticed Su Chen’s confusion and explained, “A few days ago, the Emperor of Dachu issued an edict inviting all the prodigies below the age of 23 who have reached the Qi Sea Realm to compete in Imperial Supreme City! The top 450 of the competition can enter the Hundred Demon Battlefield! If one can reach the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm before the age of 23…”

At this point.

Elder Fan’s gaze fell on Su Chen again and he slowly said, “You can be exempted from the competition and directly obtain the right to enter the Hundred Demon Battlefield!”

“Oh?”

Su Chen’s eyes lit up.

A cultivator above the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm could directly enter the Hundred Demon Battlefield?

Didn’t that mean that he didn’t have to participate in the competition?

This was a good thing. At least it saved him a lot of effort and time..
