Chapter 28: Inside the Secret Realm (7)
Looking at the leaderboard, Tang Lina was upset that she was below her archenemy Xiao Long, but considering that Xiao Long has higher cultivation than her, she wasn't that surprised with the result
On the other hand, Xiao Long was furious that he was in 2nd place, 'f*ck I should have killed just a little bit more beasts' Xiao Long glared at Tang Jun who had a huge smile on his face
As the contestants look at their final rankings, some were angry and disappointed with their rankings while others were happy to just survive to the second round of tests
At the same time that the contestants react to their rankings, Tang Lina saw the 10th position and grind her teeth as she muttered "bastard... it won't end well for you betrayer"
"Now that the weak and useless people are already out, the second round will proceed shortly and only a single person will survive" All of a sudden, the dragon lady words made the last 10 youths to stiff and get into their fighting position
Seeing that the contestants were getting ready to fight again the dragon lady laughed and said "Woahh.... you all don't need to tense up all of a sudden. There will be no fighting anymore in the second round"
"HUH?"
"Then what are we doing?"
The cannon fodders were confused as only 1 person will get the inheritance, they thought that the strongest out of them will win it
"Just think about it, if I made all of you do a death match fight, it won't be fair for the contestants as some of you may group together to eliminate others. It also won't be fair for the younger contestants."
The explanation of the dragon lady made sense as the youths turn their head towards the Tang siblings as they would be the obvious winners if they were to have a death match
"So, what would the second test be?" One of the cannon fodders ask the dragon lady
"Well, thats simple. In the first round, I tested your fighting ability, and all 10 of you can be said to have enough fighting ability to be called a genius. However, in addition to your fighting ability, your actual talent is what matters most" The dragon lady explained and snapped her finger
In the middle of the plane, a huge trapezium shaped monument appeared and the dragon lady continued "This is one of our clan's talent testing artifact, simply put your hands in the monument and the one with the highest talent will be the one to receive the inheritance. Simple right?"
As the dragon lady said, Tang Lina had a smug look on her face as she was confident to win this event as she was born with a Mid Tier Heaven Grade Talent
Looking at his sister's face, Tang Jun was also happy that the inheritance will fall into the hands of their Tang Family. Even though Tang Jun was born with a Low Tier Heaven grade talent, He knows that his talent was slightly worse than her sister
In this moment, Xiao Long had a angry expression on his face as he knows that despite Tang Lina was weaker than him, Tang Lina had greater talent than him considering that her cultivation was similar to him despite being 2 years younger
Seeing the situation he is in, Li Chen just smiled confidently as he knew that he will win the second round as he has the highest talent out of anyone here and he just stood there waiting for the dragon lady's next words
"Alright, stop with the chatter. Now in any order, start putting your hand on the monument and your talent grade will be known" The dragon lady said as she was tired of waiting for the youths
Taking a confident step, one of the cannon fodder believe that he was more talented than the other people here as he believe that the only reasons why he is weaker than the other party was because of their background and cultivation resources that they get
Cannon fodder 1 put his hands on the monument and after a couple seconds, a bright light erupted displaying his talent
Once the light dimmed a little, 'High Tier Earth Grade' was shown on the sky above the monument
Cannon fodder 1 had a proud expression while the others such as the Tang siblings, Xiao Long, etc just smiled seeing that person
However, before cannon fodder could celebrate, another cannon fodder placed her hand on the tablet and a slightly brighter light erupted
'Peak Tier Earth grade'
Cannon fodder 2 was happy while cannon fodder 1 had a disappointed look
-----------
One by one, the 10 contestants placed their hands on the monument and now the first place was a tie between Tang Jun, Xiao Long, Bai Xianer and Yang Kai who all had Low Tier Heaven Grade talent
The 4 cannon fodders all had a disappointed look seeing that their talent was lower than others
Now that it is only her and Li Chen left, Tang Lina smirked as if she had won the inheritance and decided to provoke Li Chen a bit "Hey, isn't this our little friend who stab me in the back?"
"What do you mean?" Li Chen just play dumb and replied back to Lina
"HEHEHE, don't play games with me now. I know who you truly are, and that terrifying background of yours. But they can't you protect you inside the secret realm right?" Tang Lina threaten as she released her cultivation base
"Oh? Then if you are really confident, then just place your hands on the monument. That way, our deal will also be completed right? That person won't get the inheritance like promised" Li Chen replied again as he looked sideways at Xiao Long
"HMPH" Tang Lina said shortly as she also know that it won't be wise to make enemies with the Gu family
She then walked towards the monument and placed her hand on the monument and an even brighter light erupted from the monument
'Mid Tier Heaven Grade'
Immediately, Tang Lina rose towards the first position and she was excited to receive the inheritance of the supreme expert
Casting her gaze towards Li Chen, Tang Lina rolled out her tongue to mock Li Chen which the later just smiled back
"White haired kid, now that only you are left. Put your hands on the monument, to conclude the second round" The dragon lady said as the white haired kid in front of her was the youngest of the 10 youths here and she was quite surprised to see that a 10 year old could make it into the top 10
Li Chen just nod, and walked towards the monument
Placing his hands on the monument, Tang Lina and the others were waiting for the bright light to erupt as there is no way that the young master of the Gu family could have no talent
However, after 5 seconds, no light came out of the testing tablet
As Tang Lina was about to mock Li Chen more, a dazzling bright light erupted, even the light that Tang Lina produced seemed rather dull compared to the light
And once the light dimmed down, all the 9 contestants jaw dropped as the words on top of the monument spelled
'PEAK TIER HEAVEN GRADE'
