Chapter 1405 - 1405: Selection
Not a single person here thought that they could be defeated by a Demon. Their self confidence was already on the top.
However, if they knew that Long Chen was a human, it was doubtful that most of them would have raised their heads since it would have been beneath their dignity to fight a human.
Just because they thought that Long Chen was a demon, they believed there was a chance he would put up some fight with them.
"Alright. Long Chen, it looks like everyone wants to train with you. You can select anyone you want. Their strength should be similar to what you might face in the Plum Blossom Mountain. So just go ahead," Zhu Chang said, taking a step back while having his hands behind his back.
"Which one of them is strongest?" Long Chen asked, smiling.
Previously, he might have hesitated in battling the Heavenly Beasts, but now, he had faith in his strength. After the training, he had grown really strong.
According to his assumption, the Heavenly Emperor was as strong as the Godly Beast Emperor. That meant Zhu Chang was almost as strong as a Heavenly General.
And on that basis of thoughts, he was sure that he could put up a fight with Zhu Chang as well. His strength was lower than the strength of a Heavenly General, and he was sure that he wasn't going to win, but he still had faith that he could put up a fight and escape if things went south.
And that was if he didn't use the Dark Sacrifice. But if he used the Dark Sacrifice, he could be even stronger. So he could at least take care of some kids who were weaker than Zhu Chang without having to use any weapons.
"Are you sure? I mean, you should try from the lower level to gauge the strength," Zhu Chang replied. "I know it's a practice battle, but still, you can get hurt."
"I think I have the confidence to protect myself. Don't worry. How can I dare to go to Plum Blossom Mountain if I can't even take on the strongest person here." Long Chen flashed his confident smile, taking a step forward.
"If that's what you want." Zhu Chang sighed. He turned to the youngsters.
"Alright then. Zhu Lin, step forward. You'll be fighting Long Chen. But remember, it's a practice battle. You aren't allowed to kill him or hurt him gravely. You understand?"
"Yes, Senior Brother!" A young man stepped forward with a calm face. "I will try to go easy."
Seeing Zhu Chang select Zhu Lin, all the other youngsters stepped back to give them room to fight while believing that the battle wasn't going to last long since it was Zhu Lin taking part.
Zhu Lin was one of the most talented youngsters in the newer generation. Even though he wasn't close to Zhu Chang in talent, he wasn't far behind either. It was just that he was younger.
Most of the youngsters thought that Long Chen had chewed more than he could bite, and he was going to suffer. He made a mistake by selecting the strongest of them in their arrogance.
As Black Tortoise, they knew that arrogance was good but only as long as it could be justified with abilities and skills. Long Chen was different for them. He was arrogant for the sake of being arrogant.
"Alright, Long Chen, best of luck," Zhu Chang said.
He knew that Long Chen was going to be upset after losing and maybe feel weak, but he believed it was for the good as that was going to help Long Chen understand his limitations and stay safer.
"Thanks. But I think he is going to need it more," Long Chen replied, cracking his knuckles.
He took off his robes and placed them on the side while stretching his arms. "It has been a long time since I fought a real person who was this strong. I'm going to enjoy it."
He had already fought multiple powerful enemies in the Spatial realm with his master that ranged from beasts to demons to Heavenly Warriors.
But he was still craving for real battles, especially since he didn't get any strong opponent in the worlds he had destroyed.
There was an urge inside him to fight and destroy what stood in his path. It was like a craving feeling that made him feel sweet momentarily.
"Alright. The rules are simple. The battle will last for five minutes. The two of you are allowed to use any skill to hurt your enemy, as long as the skill isn't life threatening. Moreover, none of you will be using any Weapons. Understood?" Zhu Chang declared the rules.
Long Chen simply nodded. Zhu Ling also affirmed. "I will remember the rules, Senior Brother."
"That's good. You can begin."
Zhu Lin looked at Long Chen, smiling. "Since you're our guest, I'll give you the first attack. Please go ahead."
"Nah. I often take the first attack invitation, but I think this time, I'm going to give you the opportunity."
As he talked, he didn't forget to release some expert-like aura while keeping his hands behind his back.
Seeing his actions, Zhu Chang smiled wryly.
On the other hand, Zhu Lin's face twitched as he saw the act of Long Chen.
"I'm giving you the last chance. Are you going to attack me first or not?" he asked again.
Long Chen didn't reply and simply remained calm as he looked at Zhu Lin, giving his answers with his calmness.
"If that's the way you want it to happen, then fine. Just don't say later that I didn't give you a chance," Zhu Lin replied. His figure disappeared as he flew towards Long Chen.
Long Chen didn't seem like he was going to move. He simply remained calm. He didn't even bring forth his hand. He was still keeping his hands behind his back like an otherworldly expert.
"Palm of Serenity!" Zhu Lin said, attacking Long Chen with his path.
A massive golden palm appeared before Long Chen. However, just as the palm was about to reach Long Chen, he smirked. His figure flickered as he appeared behind Zhu Lin.
His hands still remained behind his back, but he didn't need them. Instead, he tilted his body to the left and raised his right foot to kick Zhu Lin.
"Huh, what?" Zhu Lin was still stunned to see Long Chen disappear. Instead, the golden palm flew towards Zhu Chang, who was standing in the back.
Zhu Chang just waved his hand casually, destroying the golden palm.
