Chapter 703: Chapter 689 Ancient Yuan Seven Heroes Black-clothed Youth (Subscribe 6/19)_1

"[More subscription updates from the clan leader!] Xiao Chen’s combat prowess and disposition, especially his resistance to the temptation of rapid power growth, were astounding to others.

As for the public discussion, Xiao Chen didn’t care. He flew to the top of the ancient mountain in the center of the tribe. The benefits he reaped from establishing War God Temple this time made it difficult for him to calm down.

He had never rushed to advance within the tribal ranks. This time, he even unexpectedly boosted the tribe’s momentum to the peak of the marquis-rank Battle Division, which was a pleasant surprise.

In the Great Hall, everyone took their seats again. Even Elder Shi stayed behind, seemingly preparing to observe the first inspection of War God Temple.

"With Elder Shi’s presence, the Gu Yuan Tribe is graced with splendor!"

Although Elder Shi seemed weak and old, he represented the Human Ancestral Court.

At this time, someone requested to meet outside the Great Hall. A young woman walked in. Her skin was like creamy jade, her figure slender. She wore a colorful robe, her body full of charm. However, her eyes twinkled with mischief. This was Lin Cai Er.

Xiao Chen mercilessly locked her up a few days prior; now she has finally advanced to the Layered Tower Realm. She even forged a high-quality Martial Arts Tower. As soon as she entered, she attracted many people’s gazes.

Behind Lin Cai Er, a group of young girls in green dresses followed, each carrying a white jade wine jug in their arms.

"Cai Er!"

Xiao Chen nodded slightly and signaled towards Lin Cai Er.

Subsequently, at Lin Cai Er’s suggestion, the girls behind her placed the white jade wine jugs they held onto the stone tables in front of each warrior.

As soon as the wine jugs were opened, a rich aroma filled the Great Hall, instantly causing the Combat Qi inside many warriors to involuntarily circulate.

"This...!"

The mere scent of the wine stirred up surges of Combat Qi, causing many warriors to exclaim in surprise!

The medicinal wine was amber-colored with a gem-like luster. Xiao Chen raised a cup, smiling and saying, "The establishment of the War God Temple by the Gu Yuan Tribe requires everyone’s support. Xiao Mou here would like to give thanks. The Spirit Wine in this jug is called Hundred Flowers Spirit. It’s brewed from the Primordial Blood Essence of four-star beasts and water from the deep spring found beneath the earth. This is combined with four-rotation spirit medicine. Each jug equals to months of hard cultivation for a four-layered Martial Artist of the Layered Tower Realm!"

Four-star beasts, four-rotation spirit medicine!

Upon Xiao Chen’s words, all the warriors present were shocked. Such a fine wine might be nothing more than an indulgence to one as mighty as Xiao Chen.

However, for the majority of the Layered Tower Realm warriors in the Great Hall, it was a divine delicacy. Even some of the warriors with lower strength could not drink a cup; they couldn’t refine the potency of the medicine in the wine. Yet they all planned to take the wine with them if they could not finish it.

"We should surely accept Xiao Clan Leader’s great hospitality!"

Many warriors revealed their smiles. The fact that the Gu Yuan Tribe could produce such a spirit wine was indeed a surprise. Four-rotation spirit medicine was extremely rare, even in the bottom-ranking superior Battle Divisions of the Border Wasteland, let alone used to brew spirit wine.

"Xiao lad." The only person who could call Xiao Chen like that now was Elder Shi, "The inauguration of the War God Temple is unprecedented in the Border Wasteland, and even in the entire Human World. Have you made all the arrangements? As far as I can see, tens of thousands of young warriors have come to participate in the examination!"

"Elder Shi."

Equally polite, Xiao Chen glanced around the Great Hall. Sensing every pair of eyes fixed on him, he chuckled and said, "We have done a count in the clan. A total of 80,000 young talents are participating in the examination of War God Temple. We have just established the War God Temple and all the rules are still being developed. The examination of the War God Temple is divided into three stages. Those who pass all stages can join the War God Temple!"

Three-stage examination!

Immediately a warrior wanted to ask a question, but swallowed it back before speaking. Xiao Chen also did not reveal any information about the three stages at this point.

"All warriors in the Blood Refining Realm of 25 years bone age and younger, and those in the Late Stage Bone-Tempering Realm of 20 years bone age and younger, can participate in this examination of the War God Temple!"

There were Layered Tower Realm warriors present in the hall excluding the clan elders of the major Battle Divisions. Some were freelance warriors who escorted their juniors. For these wanderers, Xiao Chen’s establishment of the War God Temple provided an irresistible attraction. Joining the War God Temple was equivalent to joining the Gu Yuan Tribe, which was a massive draw for them.

With so many warriors gathering, various problems were bound to arise. However, under the supervision of the instrumental spirit, Qingling, and the strong suppression of the Gu Yuan Tribe, several arrogant men were killed, calming the situation down.

Furthermore, with the examination of the War God Temple approaching, the warriors led by Huang Liang also returned to the Tribe’s Mountain City.

Two days later, while the sky was still dark, countless warriors rushed out, gathering toward the location of the War God Temple.

The War God Temple was located to the east of the Gu Yuan Tribe, right next to the east city wall. Once the city gate on the east wall was opened, they could enter the War God Temple through a boulevard. At this moment, all the warriors rushed out of the Gu Yuan Tribe mountain city and arrived outside the east city wall of the mountain city.

Beyond the eastern wall of the Mountain city, it is a land of low hills, with a range of ancient mountains stretching thousands of miles deep within it.

Woo!

When a ray of golden light pierced the darkness and scattered across the Earth, a desolate horn sounded throughout Heaven and Earth. This ancient and melancholy horn seemed to evoke a celestial realm bloodied by warfare.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless warriors ascended from all around the Mountain City and descended upon the low hills outside the War God Temple. These were renowned warriors from the Towering Realm.

Atop the city wall, fifty feet high like a small mountain, one could look out and see everything below in fine detail. At this time, the city was filled with countless warriors. Those warriors from the Gu Yuan Tribe participating in the assessment did not receive any special consideration from Xiao Chen and were gathered outside with everyone else.

However, the young warriors from the Gu Yuan Tribe were distinct and even had several small groups forming. Regardless, the Gu Yuan Tribe founded the War God Temple and therefore, the tribal warriors have the advantage of their closeness.

Over the past few months, the great halls of the Gu Yuan Tribe have elected their own elites to participate in this selection. These individuals can be said to represent the strongest of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s younger generation, collectively known as the "Seven Elites".

Each of the Seven Elites has cultivated to a level beyond the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm, with the strongest having reached the Perfect Blood Refining Realm. They are very close to clearing their Heavenly Meridians and reaching Circulation Perfection. These seven strong young warriors, each of them has a more intense cultivation than Xiao Chen when he was young.

The War Master Hall presented a warrior who used to be a Guardian Clan Soldier and is the protector of the Gu Yuan Tribe. In terms of strength, he has always been at the forefront of many halls within the Tribe. He, a once thousand-strong commander of the tribal war masters, is no stranger to bloodshed and battles, hence he is the strongest among the seven. His name is Tian Fang!

The Enforcement Hall nominated a woman, not even twenty years old, whose strength is second only to Tian Fang’s. She is at the peak of the Blood Refining Late Stage, having opened nine of the Heavenly Meridians. Her name is Feng Ling!

The Dark Guard Hall nominated a young warrior named Huang Feng, who is also in the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm, having opened nine of the Heavenly Meridians.

The Divine Weapon Hall chose a warrior named Xiong Sheng. He is in the peak realm of the Blood Refining Mid-Stage but has born divine strength. Furthermore, he has cultivated a secret body method, using his physical body for war which allows him to fight across stages. Even Fang Tian amongst the Seven Elites may not necessarily win against him in a fight to the death.

Performing Martial Arts Hall elected a warrior named Tie Luo, who is also in the Blood Refining Late Stage.

The Martial Arts Hall chose a warrior named Mu Feng, who is at the pinnacle of the Blood Refining Late Stage.

The Hundred Herbs Hall and Martial Arts Hall did not nominate anyone. The last of the elites, a young swordsman named Xue Dao, is an apprentice of the tribe’s Supreme Elder, Xue Sha. A lone survivor of an extinct tribe, he was saved by Xue Sha years ago, and was taken as a disciple. His sword skills have somewhat caught up with Xue Sha’s level.

At this moment, the seven gathered on top of a low hill. Feng Ling’s face was icy, making the surrounding people feel a chill. The rest knew her character and didn’t show anything in particular.

"Fellows, some of the foreign warriors participating in the assessment this time are quite strong!" Xiong Sheng said heartily. He has Godly strength from practicing martial arts, which made him as robust as a bear.

"The real young generation of warriors from the Battle Division didn’t come at all, which is regrettable. I would like to see how strong they are. As for the wandering cultivators, what’s there to fear!" Tie Luo said dismissively. He wielded a long spear that constantly vibrated, obviously a half spiritual weapon.

"Don’t be overconfident. This time there are tens of thousands of young warriors. Who knows if there are people of exceptional talent among them. Even wandering cultivators have their opportunities!"

Not only was Feng Ling’s face frosty, but even her voice was icy cold.

"That I would like to see, just how many geniuses there are among these people. It’s monotonous to deal with our tribesmen all day long!" Mu Feng, leaning against an ancient tree, said leisurely.

"Feng Ling, do you know what the three phases of the assessment announced by our clan leader are?"

Tian Fang, who had been silent, suddenly asked, and immediately, the eyes of several individuals turned towards Feng Ling.

They looked at Feng Ling because she was best friends with someone in the tribe, Lin Cai Er. Recognized as a little witch in the tribe, she was the only one who dared to disrespect the tribe leader without being punished.

Thinking of Lin Cai Er, the group could not help but shudder, all having been tormented by Lin Cai Er several times.

"I don’t know!"

With three simple, cold words, Feng Ling clearly registered what they were thinking, and then she continued, "But rumors have it that in this assessment, if someone shows outstanding talent, the clan leader might personally take him as a disciple!"

The Clan Leader personally taking a student!

At this, a look of astonishment appeared in their eyes, and their hearts rolled with shock. Other than Xue Dao, the rest caught each other’s eye, seeing the determination in their respective gazes.

"Clan leader Xiao wants to personally take a disciple?"

A hundred feet below the ancient mountain where they were standing, a young man dressed in black captured the conversation between Tian Fang and the others amidst the noisy crowd.
