Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class-Chapter 423 - The Challenge Is Here

Chapter 423 The Challenge Is Here

Not human?

Qin Chuan was taken aback. No matter how I look at him, Sun Luote is a human!

Similarly, he couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary through his Aura Examination Technique.

Sun Luote went straight to the point. “My father was a Demon, and my mother was a human. Therefore, the blood flowing through my veins belongs to both Demons and humans.

“In the Immortal realm, unions between humans and Demons are rare. Because the two sides are like oil and water, people like me are ostracized. I’m worse than an animal to them.

“That’s why everyone distanced themselves from me.” With that said, Qin Chuan’s doubts were cleared.

He didn’t know much about the Immortal Realm, but humans and Demons belonged to different species.

Since ancient times, the union between different species was not welcomed.

Take, for example, Lady Bai and Xu Xian[1], as well as Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen[2).

Qin Chuan could understand Sun Luote’s experiences.

“Junior Brother Qin, lowlifes like me are really detestable, right?” asked Sun Luote with a wry smile.

Qin Chuan said solemnly, “I don’t know about other people, but I don’t look at backgrounds when making friends. It’s most important that we can click.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Luote was moved. His eyes twinkled with moisture, and he almost burst into tears.

This was the first friend he had made in his life, and he especially valued this rare friendship.

The following day, the challenge had come.

The Luo Ding Sect’s decorations were especially grand.

Xu Longfei and a group of Immortal Kings were already waiting at the entrance of the sect for the arrival of the Demons.

At that moment, the sun was slowly rising from the east. As the golden sunlight shone on the ground, the Demons arrived. Nine golden dragons pulled a magnificent palace through the morning light.

The roar of dragons resounded through the clouds with a mighty aura.

The disciples of the Luo Ding Sect were especially shocked by the sight.

Moments later, the massive palace slowly descended to the ground.

The door to the palace swung open, and a middle-aged man in fine clothes emerged.

This man was a half-step Immortal Emperor Demon named Lu Wei, and he was the leader of this team here for the challenge. Five Immortal King Demons followed behind. They were of both genders and exuded a powerful aura.

Then came a group of young men.

These were the geniuses from the Demon race that were participating in the challenge.

“Sect Master Xu, all elders, sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Lu Wei strode forward and bowed.

Xu Longfei returned the bow with a smile. “You must have had a long and arduous journey, Demon Emperor Lu.” Lu Wei smiled. “Thank you for your concern, Sect Master Xu. However, we Demons are born with extraordinary constitutions. No matter how long the journey takes, our bodies and spirits remain in peak condition.

“Sect Master Xu, these are the juniors of my race. Look at how eager they are. I wonder if your sect is ready?”

Xu Longfei replied with an elegant smile, “Of course we are prepared.”

“If you are, let us begin!” said Lu Wei with a smile.

“Alright, please come in!” said Xu Longfei, moving in the air with the elders. Lu Wei and the others followed suit.

The location of the battle was in the desert. The desert stretched as far as the eye could see.

Qin Chuan and the other participating disciples from the Luo Ding Sect had already arrived. This was the first time Qin Chuan had seen a Demon.

By observing their auras, one could tell that the aura of Demons differed greatly from that of humans.

At the same time, their primordial spirits were not in human form. Instead, they were showing their true forms.

After the arrival of the Demons, Qin Chuan quickly perused them.

Due to the fact that his Aura Examination Technique came from the system and was rather special, the other party did not notice it.

A few young Demons had left a deep impression on him.

Qin Chuan had a hunch that these young Demons were the source of the confidence for the Demon race.

He knew his “teammates” pretty well; none of them were a match for the young Demons.

There was a huge gap in their strengths, and it was possible that they would be instantly killed in a single exchange.

If the Demons were to send these people, Luo Ding Sect would definitely suffer a major defeat in this challenge. “Sect Master Xu, these must be your sect’s top genius disciples!” said Lu Wei with a smile.

“Please excuse us, Demon Emperor Lu. These disciples are only considered the slightly stronger ones in our sect. The strongest ones are still in seclusion for special reasons.

“Therefore, if you don’t enjoy the fight, we will definitely notify you when our sect’s top disciples come out of seclusion.”

Lu Wei laughed. “Deal! Don’t forget when the time comes.”

“Of course not,” said Xu Longfei firmly.

“It’s getting late. Since everyone is here, let’s get started!” urged Lu Wei.

Xu Longfei offered no excuses. “We’ll do as you say, Demon Emperor Lu.”

Lu Wei produced an instrument. “Would you like to examine it, Sect Master Xu?”

Xu Longfei shook his head. “I trust that you Demons won’t play any dirty tricks.”

Lu Wei laughed again. “You are a straightforward man, Sect Master Xu. We appreciate your trust.”

With that, Lu Wei handed the device to Xu Longfei. “Sect Master Xu, please enter the names of the participating disciples.”

Xu Longfei took the device. As the social butterfly of the Immortal realm, he knew how to use such a device.

He was done in a few minutes. Similarly, Lu Wei also entered the young Demons who would be participating in the challenge.

“In order to prove that we have not pulled tricks in secret, Sect Master Xu, I’ll leave it to you to start the match up.” “On top of that, your sect has three chances to re-match. This also demonstrates the humanity in us Demons,” said Lu Wei.

Xu Longfei understood what the other party was getting at. He clearly thought nothing of Luo Ding Sect! He was afraid that they would lose too badly and wanted us to look better.

Xu Longfei forced a smile. With the device in his hand, he took a look at the name list of the Demons.

He saw a name that would never appear on the list-Peng Yuhui.

This Peng Yuhui was the Demon junior who had the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc.

Xu Longfei was taken aback.

His own sect wasn’t a first-tier faction; why would the Demons dispatch such a powerful candidate?

But it made sense. After all, these people had never shown their true strength before. This should be the perfect opportunity to show the various regions of Immortal realm how impressive the geniuses of their Demon race were.

Having figured this out, Xu Longfei smiled helplessly.

In truth, he also had an inkling. There was a 90% chance that the Luo Ding Sect would lose in this challenge, but they couldn’t afford to lose too badly.

Xu Longfei activated the device.

Within a few seconds, the name list of the duels was out.

Xu Longfei had done his homework on the Demons, so he had a fairly accurate assessment of their overall strength. To be honest, Xu Longfei was not satisfied with the results of the first match up.

They would lose miserably.

Noticing the odd look on Xu Longfei’s face, Lu Wei said, “Sect Master Xu, if you aren’t satisfied with the results of this match up, you have two more chances to get a new match.”

Xu Longfei was a man who was anxious about keeping up appearances. However, if the sect lost too badly, it would be even more humiliating.

Therefore, he decisively started a new match up.

The second match went better than the first, but it wasn’t the most satisfying.

But what if the third match up turned out worse than the second?

He dared not take the risk.

While hesitating, the Supreme Venerable Elder walked up to him and took a look at the screen. Immediately, he understood why Xu Longfei was so conflicted.

The Supreme Venerable Elder sent a voice transmission. “Don’t hesitate, Sect Master. Let’s leave it.”

Xu Longfei said, “We have a 40% chance of winning at most. We’ll lose terribly.”

The Supreme Venerable Elder said, “Look at us. If the weakest one on our side can match up to the strongest demon, wouldn’t the other party lose ten percent of their chances of winning?

“If the other disciples were to perform beyond their usual limits, there’s a high chance that they would get a 50% chance of winning.”

Xu Longfei said, “You mean Qin Xiaochuan is the weakest?” “Isn’t he the weakest?”

Xu Longfei didn’t respond. He only let out a sigh.

After pondering for a while, he decided to try again.

However, no miracles happened after the results were out. The situation was about the same as the second time.

He stared at one of the lines on the screen. (Qin Xiaochuan = Peng Yuhui]

Xu Longfei was frustrated.

“Sigh! I thought we could definitely take one round, but who knew…”
