<h4>Chapter 1177 - 1177: Iing General </h4>
The future of the Gu n was bright, he believed.
As Long Chen had already epted the truth, the King also nodded. Since he didn’t have to cheat now, he was finally relieved, and he could be honest.
"Great Master Long is right. You made haste in putting in the materials. But it’s also amon mistake since it’s all about timing. You’ll improve in the future," the King said kindly. "You can go back."
"Do you want to dere the results of the first tiers?" Prince Lu asked Long Chen.
"Even though I already know, you can go ahead. As I said, it’s yourpetition. You handle these things. I’m only the observer," Long Chen casually said.
"Alright. The first is Du Han," the King dered, pointing towards the red-haired man.
"Second is Ming Lia!’
"Third is..."
The King dered the results as he named the participants one after another.
Even though Gu Lin had messed up, there were others who had messed up even more, so she managed to get the seventh ce out of the twenty-four people that had participated.
As for Gu Ren, he was in Seventeenth ce.
"You can all go back. The rewards will be dered in the end," the King said as he sent everyone back. Gu Lin walked back to her seat behind Long Chen.
As for others, they went to sit with the ns since they couldn’t sit with the big guys.
"Next trial. For the Elders of the ns. What trial should we have? I want you to decide this too. Please Great Master. Don’t say no this time," the King told Long Chen, telling him to select the test again.
"Alright. I won’t say no in this then. I want the next trial to be the battles," Long Chen dered.
He wanted to see the Elders fight to understand how they used their strength.
"Alright. Physical Battles it will be. Each n is only allowed to send one Elder to the battlefield. It’ll be a single battle where everyone will join the fight. The one who falls, gets eliminated," the King said, further making the rules to make the battles more interesting for Long Chen.
" You aren’t allowed to fly either. Thest one standing is the winner. Your rank will be decided depending on how long you canst. Other than that, you can use any treasure or anything you possess. Nothing is barred as long as you don’t kill the other person," the King further said.
"That’s interesting. It can be fun," Long Chen muttered. It really seemed to be fun to be a spectator for once.
But he didn’t know that he wasn’t going to be alone for so long as someone was flying towards this Kingdom.
The real General of the Western Emperor was going to some ce with his team, and he needed to pass through this Kingdom to get there. The second strongest person in the Western Empire wasing.
Unaware of all that, Long Chen was excited for the battle that was going to be held here.
"Gu Qian! You’ll take part for us!" Gu Wang said as hemanded one of his Elders.
"Du Ming! You’ll take part from our side. You must win!"
"Gianli, you go from our side. Make sure to show the strength of my Ming n to the Great Master! Don’t disappoint them!"
"Ying Wan! Go ahead and give your best!"
One after another, all ns sent one of their Elders to represent their sides.
Soon, twelve elders were standing on the field, facing each other. All of them seemed to be prepared and waiting for the signal from the King.
"Shall we start?" The King asked Long Chen’s permission
As soon as Long Chen nodded his head, the King dered, "Start the battle!"
Even though this was a battle where everyone was everyone’s enemy, it didn’t progress like that. After the initial rush, it seemed like everyone had selected one enemy. Instead of being an all-on-one battle, it became six separate battles.
The Gu n Elder was facing against the Ming n Elder, and he didn’t forget to use his specialty. While the Gu n used poison, the Ming n was the n of artificers, so they had many treasures.
Long Chen was learning a lot from Ming n. The attacks of Gu n Elder were frightening, but the Ming n member was using his treasures like they weren’t external help but a part of his body.
As for the other ns, they were also showing something different. How to fight while defending self? How to use poison, how to use artifacts, how to make the enemy attack the way you want.
There was so much that was happening in the battle. Long Chen was really d that he hade here for this free show. Not only could he rx, but he could also learn more while also subtly meditating to stabilize his core.
In fact, even now he was stabilizing his core while sitting.
The battles also started getting close to an end as more and more people started getting eliminated. It didn’t take long before it actually turned into a fight that it was intended. It started from two against one and turned into an all out battle where everyone attacked everyone.
The number of Elders kept decreasing even more, and soon there were only three people left—the elder of Gu n, Elder of Tian n, and Elder of Ming n.
Unfortunately, that was as far as the Gu n Elder could go before getting eliminated. He came third as he also dropped to the ground, defeated.
In the end, the Tian n took the first ce while the Ming n took the second ce.
"I don’t think I need to dere the results. They are already before you all. You can all go back," The King said.
"Next, the n Masters of the twelve ns step forward. It’s time for the final trial and the most important one."
As the Kingmanded, the Sect Masters of all the ns stood up and stepped forward. Gu Wang also stood up as he walked to stand with other n Masters.
"Great Master. What do you want the third test to be?" The King once again asked Long Chen’s advice regarding what the test to do, but this time Long Chen actually had no idea what he should choose.
He only had an interest in two things. Battles and Alchemy, and both of them had already happened.
It was only after thinking for a while that he came up with an idea for the n Masters.
