Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1388 - 1388: Test

"Route of making me disappear?" Long Chen asked, smiling. "I can't say I expected that."

"Let me guess. You don't want Zhu Chang to know that I'm here, so it's better to kill me. Probably because you don't want to offend a Heavenly Beast? Isn't that right?" He further asked. 

"So I don't really need to fight, do I? All I need is to get out of this tower and call for Zhu Chang? After that, you won't be able to kill me. Isn't that right?" 

"You think you can get out of here?" The Heavenly General asked as he looked at Long Chen with a mocking gaze.

"This tower seals the space. Even a Heavenly Warrior can't teleport inside the tower without using the portals. And the portals can only be activated by the Heavenly Warrior. So you can't leave this place even if you wanted to. But I won't stop you from dreaming."

"So I can't leave this place?" Long Chen asked, smirking. "Are you sure about that?"

"You think you can? Hah, you Demons really are arrogant. You make me laugh!" The Heavenly General burst into laughter, but her laughter soon disappeared as he saw Long Chen snap his finger. 

With a single snap, he disappeared. 

"What the..." The Heavenly General was stunned after seeing Long Chen disappear. It was as if Long Chen was mocking him. Let alone teleporting, he did that without using the portals. 

Even the Heavenly Warriors couldn't teleport here without portals. Only people of his Caliber could do so, and even that was because they knew some high level tricks. But to watch Long Chen do it was unacceptable. 

"Wait! If he teleported outside, he would certainly call for that Heavenly Beast!" 

The Heavenly General also teleported outside. 

As he left the Heavenly Tower, he found Long Chen waiting for him. He wasn't flying away or calling for anyone. 

Long Chen rubbed his chin, smiling. "You kept me waiting. Anyway, let's go back inside. I don't like the weather outside."

As if mocking the Heavenly General, even more, Long Chen once again disappeared. He appeared back inside the Heavenly Tower. 

Confused, the Heavenly General also appeared inside the Dark Tower. 

"What are you trying to do? Are you challenging me?"  The Heavenly General asked Long Chen. 

"Challenge you? Why would you think so?" Long Chen responded. "You said I can't teleport outside. I just showed you that I can. Where was the challenge in it?"

"Why didn't you call for your friend to save you?" The Heavenly General asked. "If you were outside, why did you come back in? If it's not a challenge from the Demon, then what is it? You just want to show that you, a demon, can do anything in this place without any consequences!"

"Not really. You're protecting yourself. However, what you said wasn't wrong either. I can certainly do whatever I want here," Long Chen smiled. "But the real reason why I didn't do anything is because I'm not really a demon. You're just an idiot if you think I am just because of my eyes."

"Also, I won't lie. In all honesty, I'm not a match for you. At least not at the moment. But I'm certainly confident that you can't catch me or kill me. However, I'm not looking for an enmity. I just want to leave this place where I don't belong."

Even though Long Chen didn't mind a battle, he surely didn't want to fight the Heavenly General who was at the peak of the Heaven. He was the guy who was as strong as the old man who taught him, if not more. 

A thousand years of training was never going to be enough to take this guy out. However, if he had no choice, he wasn't going to say no either. 

He again sat on the chair. "I leave the rest to you."

"If you want to fight, I'll oblige you. And if you want to be sensible and accept your mistake, that's fine as well. In any case, I'm not running away."

"You... Just what exactly are you..." Seeing the attitude of Long Chen, the Heavenly General couldn't believe his eyes. 

He was claiming that he wasn't a Demon. Despite that, he was talking so arrogantly and had such odd abilities. That didn't make sense. 

"Fine. Let's test your story." Ultimately, the Heavenly General decided to give Long Chen the benefit of the doubt. 

He raised his right hand.  A small ball appeared in his hand. 

He tossed the transparent ball to Long Chen. 

Long Chen grabbed the ball. "What is this?"

"Place a drop of your blood on this. If you're a demon, it'll shine black. If you're a Heavenly Citizen, it'll shine golden. If you're a human, it'll shine blue."

To show Long Chen how to do it, the Heavenly General brought another such ball. He bit his thumb and placed his blood on the ball. The ball started shining in a bright golden light. 

"Your turn," he said. 

"Whatever." Long Chen bit his thumb as well. He let a droplet of blood fall on the crystal. The crystal shone in a blue light. 

"See? Now you believe me that I'm a human? Anyway, I'm keeping this ball with me. Might come in handy in the future."

Long Chen sent the ball in his storage ring, not knowing how perfect his timing was. If he were just a little late, he would have seen the ball turn golden after blue before turning to black. 

Inside the ring, the ball kept shifting color from golden to black to blue to golden. It was a long cycle before the ball stopped. 

However, the Heavenly General couldn't see it. For him, it was proven that Long Chen was a human. 

"So those aren't a Demon's eyes. It must be some human sickness. Still, you're pretty strong for a human. May I ask how that's possible?" The Heavenly Warrior asked. 

"I guess I had a good master," Long Chen answered as he stood up. "Anyway, now that it's proven that I'm not a Demon, can we leave? I need to meet Zhu Chang."

"We certainly can. Meet me outside. I'll take you to him."

The Heavenly General disappeared. Long Chen also disappeared. 

Both of them appeared outside the Heavenly Tower. Long Chen followed the Heavenly General towards the prison. 

"Oh, I had something else to ask as well. Can you free Lu Chen as well?"

"We are not running a charitable service. Only you're allowed to leave," the Heavenly General responded. 

Long Chen told the Heavenly General how Lu Cheng was from the Buddha Sect and how he was sent here wrongly, but the Heavenly General still refused.
