1162 Even the Biological Son of the Heavens Isn’t That Lucky
Dongshen Hanyu understood what Ji Xianggua meant, but he refused to admit that Sheng Xiao was more powerful than him.
He gritted his teeth and said, “But he’s from a bottom-tier small world. He’s only 34 years old this year.” Sheng Xiao was younger than both of them. “I grew up in the East God Palace. You were born in the Vermillion Bird Clan. Which one of us doesn’t have a more powerful background than Sheng Xiao? We both have more powerful backgrounds than him, but we couldn’t reach his level at his age. I…”
Ji Xianggua shrugged and said in admiration, “It’s precisely because of this that we have to admit that he is outstanding. The fact that he has such strength at the age of 34 is enough to prove that he’s a very impressive person.”
Ji Xianggua revealed a rare serious expression as he said, “There’s more than one bright star in the sky. You can’t be the only powerful Beast Tamer on the continent. I advise you to be broad-minded and not dwell on it.”
Dongshen Hanyu was stunned.
He understood what Ji Xianggua meant.
Ji Xianggua was telling him not to care too much about winning or losing, or comparing. The more he cared, the easier he would be defeated.
Dongshen Hanyu stared at the Ji Xianggua for a moment and suddenly said, “It’s strange that your father gave birth to a fool like you.” It was unknown if he was praising Ji Xianggua for being open-minded or mocking his father, Prime Emperor Linfeng, for being narrow-minded.
Ji Xiangxia pouted and said, “Don’t compare me to my father. My father has been suppressed by my outstanding uncle for more than twenty years, so his personality is more or less gloomy. But I’m different. I grew up surrounded by my grandparents’ and parents’ love. What’s that saying? The love I received in my childhood will turn into light after I reach adulthood. I’m a boy filled with light, so I’m naturally different from my father.”
Dongshen Hanyu was stunned.
He was indeed a fool!
When the staff heard Ji Xianggua’s words, he looked at him in shock.
A child who could frankly admit his father’s flaws must be open-minded. This child was much better than his father.
Soon, the two of them were teleported to the exit of the ground.
Seeing Dongshen Hanyu and Ji Xianggua come out together, the participants said, “The last two participants have already come out, so the second round of the assessment is over. Can we disperse now?”
Only Yin Rong, Donor, and the others frowned at the exit of the magma pool with worried expressions.
At this moment, Prime Master Chengwen walked out and said, “The second test of the Central Continent Selection Competition has ended. There are a total of 10,000 participants, and 7,000 participants have been eliminated. 2,998 participants have already come ashore. Next, all participants who have passed the second test, please return to the hotel to rest. Tomorrow morning, please follow the staff to the Demon Cave Forest!”
Hearing this, the nearly three thousand participants fell silent.
There were 2,998 participants who had already come ashore, which meant that there were still two participants who had yet to come out.
At this moment, Yin Rong and the others walked towards Prime Master Chengwen together.
“Prime Master Chengwen!” Beatrice said worriedly, “Prime Master Chengwen, the competition is over, but Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao have yet to come ashore. Did they pass the test or forfeit?”
Prime Master Chengwen’s answer was thought-provoking. He said, “If they’re alive, they’ve passed.”
If they died, there would be nothing more to talk about.
Yin Rong’s face instantly turned pale. Disregarding her identity, she grabbed Prime Master Chengwen’s sleeve as she said worriedly, “Prime Master Chengwen, Yu Huang and the others haven’t come ashore yet. Could there have been an accident? Can you send someone down to check the situation?”
Logically speaking, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao’s lives should not be in danger. However, Yin Rong and the others were still uneasy when they didn’t see them ashore.
Prime Master Chengwen was about to speak when he heard Madam Brulee say, “I’ll go.”
It was unknown when Madam Brulee appeared. She was wearing a Beast Tamer uniform and looked at the entrance of the magma pool with an unfathomable expression as she said, “Whether they are still alive or not, I’ll know after I go take a look. Wait for my news.”
With that, Madam Brulee took the pill cart and rushed towards the volcano deep underground.
.
The temperature of Blazing Flame Mountain was shockingly hot.
Madam Brulee had awakened a wood-type beast form and wood was most afraid of fire, so she didn’t jump into the magma pool rashly. She only stood on the shore and turned her hands into vines that entered the magma pool under the protection of the protective shield.
After entering the magma pool, the vines quickly divided into countless roots that probed into the depths of the magma pool.
Before long, Madam Brulee noticed Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang’s spiritual energy fluctuations.
The two of them were actually at the bottom of the magma pool. The two of them were a little far away, but the vitality in their bodies was very strong.
Madam Brulee was relieved to know that Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were still alive.
These two people were not people who didn’t know their limits. It was impossible for them not to know that the second round’s competition schedule was only five days. They knew that if they were late, they would miss the third and fourth round’s assessments, but the two of them didn’t intend to come up. Could it be…
Looking at the magma pool that was emitting heat waves in the darkness, Madam Brulee thought to herself, “Could it be that they discovered a golden opportunity at the bottom of the magma pool, and what they discovered is even more important than participating in the screening test?”
At the thought of that, Madam Brulee decided to respect Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang’s wishes.
Madam Brulee turned around and returned to the surface.
Yin Rong and the others hurried forward when they saw Madam Brulee. “Madam Brulee, have you found Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao? Are they still alive?” This was what the five of them were most concerned about.
“They’re both still alive.” Madam Brulee frowned with a puzzled expression as she said, “But the strange thing is that the two of them have no intention of going ashore. Perhaps they discovered a golden opportunity.”
When Prime Master Chengwen heard Madam Brulee’s words, he was somewhat suspicious.
The magma pool had existed for thousands of years. Every participant had been tested in the magma pool. Even Prime Master Chengwen had been tested inside when he was young. If there was a fortuitous opportunity hidden below, it would have been discovered by others long ago. There was no reason for it to remain undiscovered until now and be discovered by Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang.
Even the biological son of the heavens probably wouldn’t be so lucky.
Could it be that Madam Brulee was lying?
Prime Master Chengwen sized up Madam Brulee calmly. Seeing that Madam Brulee seemed puzzled, Prime Master Chengwen couldn’t guess if Madam Brulee was telling the truth or lying.
When Yin Rong and the others heard Madam Brulee’s words, they didn’t believe it at first.
Yin Rong wanted to ask more, but she heard Feng Yuncheng say, “In that case, thank you for making a trip, Madam Brulee. Your Highness, Senior Rong, let’s go back to the hotel first. If they can return before tomorrow morning, then let’s participate in the third test together. If they don’t come out, then the five of us will participate.”
Although everyone was filled with doubts, they had inexplicable trust in Feng Yuncheng.
Although this guy was usually quite frivolous, he was actually very smart. When Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were not around, Feng Yuncheng became their pillar of support.
Therefore, Yin Rong and the others didn’t ask about Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang’s whereabouts after hearing Feng Yuncheng’s words. After bidding farewell to Prime Master Chengwen and Madam Brulee, they returned to the hotel without a word.
