Chapter 192: Chapter 7: Great Opportunity! The Legacy of Ancestor Wang_2
As everyone stepped into the relic, a sweet yet somewhat monotonous voice came from the air.
Divine Martial Army Recruitment Point?
Wang Shouzhe was slightly surprised, this didn’t quite match what Ancestor had mentioned.
Everyone’s gaze was on Ancestor Longyan; she was the only one who had been here, so naturally, everyone awaited her move.
"Hello Artifact Spirit, my name is Wang Longyan." Ancestor Longyan took out a black token.
"Elite Militia Wang Longyan, welcome. It appears your Civilian Soldier Token has no accolades. Please continue to strive and contribute to the Divine Martial Dynasty."
Elite Militia Wang Longyan.
All eyes were on Ancestor Longyan. Our distinguished Ancestor Longyan was considered merely an elite militia by the Artifact Spirit.
Ancestor Longyan was slightly embarrassed.
"Cousin Longyan, didn’t you say this relic was for selecting Divine Martial disciples?" Ancestor Xuanfu asked doubtfully.
Ancestor Longyan glared at her slightly displeased: "Isn’t it the same? Legend says the Divine Martial Army is the core force of the Divine Martial Dynasty; they don’t bother with the disciple thing. Anyway, as long as you pass, you’ll receive all the rewards."
Her tone seemed a bit indignant. Clearly, she hadn’t expected the Artifact Spirit to directly reveal her elite militia identity.
Wang Shouzhe also chuckled secretly,
but at the same time felt a profound dread, as the Divine Martial Dynasty, which was destroyed ten thousand years ago, seemed truly terrifying.
Someone like Ancestor Longyan of the Purple Mansion Academy’s Core Disciple was considered just an elite militia?
It shows how formidable the Divine Martial Dynasty was at its peak?
"Alright, everyone, let’s not mind these details," Wang Shouzhe stepped in to help Ancestor Longyan, "Ancestor, anything we should pay attention to during the trial?"
"Nothing particular to note. Simply tell the Artifact Spirit that you’re ready for the test, and if you think you can’t win, you can surrender." Ancestor Longyan replied.
Wang Shouzhe pondered briefly, scanned the group before targeting someone with his gaze: "Alright then, Brother-in-law, you’re the eldest, you go first."
Chen Fangjie was somewhat shocked: "I get it, you brought me to participate in the trial just so I could scout ahead, didn’t you?"
"Brother-in-law, you’re almost thirty and have barely reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Realm. Since you might not succeed, it’s better for you to test the waters first so I can plan the strategy." Wang Shouzhe said mercilessly, "If you don’t go, do you expect my sister to scout instead?"
Without waiting for Chen Fangjie to respond.
Ancestor Ruhong gave him a smack: "You brat, Shouzhe is being kind by including you. What’s wrong with you? Try it out, there’s always another chance if you fail this time. And you wouldn’t have reached this realm so quickly without Shouzhe’s help in making money?"
Kidding, who is Shouzhe?
The God of Wealth of the East Port Chen Family, whose income has significantly increased over the years.
Whether Ancestor Ruhong could earn the resources needed for advancing to the Celestial Human Realm one day depended entirely on Shouzhe’s backing.
Chen Fangjie was full of bitterness.
Since when did being almost thirty and reaching the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Realm become worthless and worthy of scorn?
Remember Ancestor Ruhong once said, Fang Jie, you’re quite talented, truly worthy of being our Chen Family descendant.
Now suddenly, I’m the brat deemed unworthy.
It’s not that Chen Fangjie isn’t trying, but that the era changes too quickly.
Fine, compared to Shouzhe and those little prodigies.
He really can only... scout ahead.
Then Chen Fangjie shouted, "Artifact Spirit, I am Chen Fangjie, and I will take the trial."
"Civilian, your name doesn’t matter. Continue after clearing the first test." The Artifact Spirit said.
Chen Fangjie broke into a cold sweat; I’m the Young Clan Leader of the East Port Chen Family, Ninth Layer in Qi Refining Realm, now turned into a civilian. Before he could complain,
there was a space fluctuation at the center of the trial ground.
His opponent appeared, a nearly two-meter tall, sturdy creature covered in scale armor, with barbed tail — a fearsome demon.
Its cold eyes on Chen Fangjie made his body shiver in horror.
Such demons were only seen in ancient texts.
"Don’t be afraid, Fang Jie! It’s just a demon puppet," Ancestor Longyan encouraged, "Its combat power is similar to various family’s Ninth Layer Qi Refining Realm peak level Spirit Platform Seeds, not particularly difficult to handle."
Chen Fangjie almost passed out, Ancestor Longyan, you say this lightly, this also called not particularly difficult?
Before he could react, the demon puppet seemed to know Chen Fangjie was the trial taker, it quickly lunged at him, leaving a trace of a shadow in its speed.
Its claw struck, leaving multiple claw shadows in the air, with a sharp whistle piercing through.
Chen Fangjie hurriedly retreated, wielding a silver spear as he engaged with the demon puppet. Unfortunately, the power disparity was large, he managed to withstand only twenty moves before being swatted away by the puppet’s claw; he urgently declared surrender.
Upon his words, the demon puppet’s actions halted immediately.
And Chen Fangjie, soaked in sweat and his hands trembling, murmured how can this be called not particularly difficult to handle?
Wang Luoyi rushed to help Chen Fangjie aside, her eyes filled with concern. The two were quite close after all. Chen Fangjie did treat his wife well.
