Chapter 4: The Seventh Prince
After Fu Bui spoke about the rules, General Wong came over to Long Chen and said in a serious tone, "Congratulation on being top 100 candidates for the Martial School but be careful of humans more than the monsters, especially Tan family and General Xie. You beating their geniuses easily is a slap to their face and they will try to kill you to regain their face. Be careful!!"
Upon hearing this Long Chen said with a slight smile, "they better behave or I will destroy them". General Wong was slightly startled but he understood the youth before him, was not an ordinary person. After Long Chen's family getting destroyed, and the 6 years of brutal fighting in the war has changed his personality to a ruthless and a decisive person. Although he cannot cultivate with his poor physique, his comprehension was so monstrous that within a few decades he might become one of the kingdoms strongest person.
While Long Chen was talking with General Wong, a youth with a handsome face and wearing a red robe came and greeted General Wong, "Greetings General!". General Wong was startled but regain his calmness and said with a slight smile, "Greetings his highness Seventh Prince". Seeing that Seventh Prince wants to talk with Long Chen alone he said, " I have some work to do, so I'll excuse myself".
Long Chen cupped his fist and said, "Greetings, Seventh Prince". Seventh Prince said, "Don't mention me as 'Seventh prince', just call be Brother Yang or Brother Bufan". Seeing this Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "Brother Bufan". Yang Bufan laughed slightly and said, " Good good Long Chen, I am totally impressed by you. You cannot cultivate but you still did not lose hope and walked on the path of cultivation with a firm heart. You are the first person I admire you to this extent".
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "Thank you brother Bufan for all the praise. But you didn't come to me just for the talk right?". When Yang Bufan heard this he blushed and said, "Brother Chen is quite straightforward just like a typical sword cultivator. Yes, I didn't come just to praise you. I want to make friends with you because I can vaguely sense that you are going to be an amazing person and you can help me get the throne". Long Chen nodded in satisfaction for the straightforward attitude of Seventh Prince. As one might know rulers are typically liars. Long Chen said, "I also like your attitude so let's go hunting together". On hearing that Yang Bufan was quite happy.
Both of them went to the Demonic forest together. Yang Bufan knows a lot of things happening in the capital, so he told Long Chen about them as Long Chen was busy into cultivation and never cared about other things. Yang Bufan said, "Brother you should be aware of 5 geniuses of the 5 Top families and 3 other princes from Imperial family. All of them are at the peak of 5th layer of the Creation stage and have comprehended a part of intents. They are Tan Shiu of tan family. Lang Rong of Lang Family. Mu Wei of Mu family. Feng Tao of Feng Family. Zheng Xiong of Zheng family". Just as they were walking Long Chen gripped the sword in his back and sent a sword slash destroyed the incoming punch. The punch was destroyed but he was taken 3 steps back as he has not expected the enemy to be this strong. Although he has not used his full strength, he knew it was enough to defeat a 3rd layer Creation stage expert.
From behind laughter was heard and a tall and bulky person came. He was Ye Zhong, from the Southern Genius Camp. He was only at the 1st layer of creation stage but have comprehended middle stages of [fist intent]. Ye Zhong came and said, "Yo!! Long Chen, you are as powerful as expected. Let's be friends and go hunting together. And Greetings Seventh Prince!!". Saying that he tagged along with Long Chen and Yang Bufan. On the sides, Yang Bufan was dumbfounded at first but laughed slightly, "Just call me Brother Bufan like Long Chen. You are quite a monster yourself. you have comprehended middle stages of [fist intent]. If not for Long Chen then I might have thought that you are the most monstrous genius of the kingdom".
Unknowingly the Long Chen who was a loner until now has suddenly met 2 good friends. The duration of the 3rd test was 7 days. For the first 2 days, they only met monsters of 2nd and 3rd layer of Level-2 Monsters who were easily dealt with by them. And as for the weaker monsters, they didn't come near them due to sensing danger.
"hush" " hush" From the trees to the side came an ape who was 10 meters tall. It was only at peak of 5th layer Level-2 Monster but has a strong aura equal to a 7th layer Level-2 Monster. Seeing this Yang Bufan and Ye Zhong furrowed their brows but then said to Long Chen, "Brother Chen, you can easily defeat it, so let us fight with it". They have stayed with Long Chen for 2 days, so they know how powerful he was. Long Chen didn't say anything and went to the side to watch the fight. The ape was a Heavenly Devil Ape who was very strong and can defeat a 6th layer Creation stage expert easily and can fight with a 7th layer Creation stage expert. But he also knew that both Ye Zhong and Yang Bufan were able to fight and it may also help them in their breakthrough to the next layer.
As Long Chen was watching the fight there were 2 people watching him. They were Tan Xiu and Murong Xun. Both of them were at the 1st layer and 2nd layer of Qi Pond stage respectively. They were asked by Tan Family and general Xiu to deal with Long Chen. They thought it was quite easy but they have not expected Seventh Prince and a Genius from Southern Camp to follow him. So they devised a plan to separate them, so they can kill Long Chen.
