Chapter 1104: Chapter 1101: Who Do You Think You Are?
When Xu Wendong appeared at the entrance of the Dragon Clan with Jin Peng, an elder with white hair and beard soon walked out from within the clan.
He was wearing a white robe, exuding an aura of an immortal sage.
However.
On his forehead, there were a pair of black horns.
"Greetings Jin Peng Senior, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar upon your arrival. Please bear with us!" The elder bowed and saluted; he was Ao Cheng, the steward of the Dragon Clan, responsible for all its affairs.
Jin Peng casually said, "Steward Ao Cheng, there’s no need for formalities. I came here to meet the Dragon King, is he available?"
Ao Cheng quickly replied, "The clan leader has gone into seclusion; if you have any matters, please instruct the juniors!"
Jin Peng briefly introduced Xu Wendong’s identity and expressed his hope that Xu could come to the Dragon Clan to learn the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique.
After learning the background of the matter, Ao Cheng stated, "Rest assured, senior. Since Friend Xu is a benefactor of the Avian Tribe, he is naturally a friend of our Dragon Clan."
"As to whether he can learn the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, it will depend on his fate."
"Then I’ll trouble Steward Ao Cheng!" After exchanging a few words, Jin Peng disappeared into the Dragon Clan.
Ao Cheng then smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Young Master Xu, please come with this old man!"
Xu Wendong politely said, "Please, senior!"
Ao Cheng led Xu Wendong into the valley, inquiring how he became a benefactor of the Avian Tribe along the way.
Xu Wendong did not hide anything and told how he inadvertently saved the Golden Crow.
Ao Cheng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: "The Demon Race is destined to rise!"
Upon hearing this.
Xu Wendong instantly felt that the Dragon Clan had a grand perspective.
Because they didn’t feel any sense of crisis upon hearing about the Golden Crow, but rather believed that the Demon Race was about to rise.
This made him develop some goodwill towards the Dragon Clan.
Ao Cheng looked at Xu Wendong with a smile: "Young Master Xu, your physique is indeed rare; may I know which kind of Divine Body it is?"
He could feel that Xu Wendong’s physique was very special, but there are many Divine Bodies and Sacred Bodies in the world, and with his experience, he couldn’t discern it.
Xu Wendong replied, "The Ancient Sacred Body!"
"No wonder!" Ao Cheng smiled: "If Young Master Xu can master our Dragon Clan’s Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, your strength will greatly advance!"
"However, to master this cultivation technique requires great perseverance and courage that does not fear death."
Xu Wendong smiled calmly.
He believed that his perseverance and courage were above the norm.
When Chen Nan followed Ao Cheng into the valley, faces of the Dragon Clan began to appear from the caves on both sides of the valley.
Most of them transformed into human form, but they all had differently colored and shaped horns on their foreheads.
They were also very curious about the man who appeared within their clan.
However, it was merely out of curiosity.
Because there were some humans living in the Dragon Clan as well.
Those humans were human experts who had mistakenly entered the Demon Realm.
"Young Master Xu, please stay in this cave for now!" Ao Cheng took Xu Wendong to a cave and then said, "The Nine Dragons Refinement Technique is our Dragon Clan’s strongest cultivation technique. Although outsiders can also observe and learn it, there are limited spots."
"Coincidentally, there will be a competition in three days, and the top three winners can learn this technique."
"This is the rule of our Dragon Clan, and I hope Young Master Xu can understand."
Xu Wendong was flattered and said, "Since I’ve come to the Dragon Clan, I must adhere to its rules."
Ao Cheng showed a gratified look; even though Xu Wendong was extraordinarily gifted and had the Golden-Winged Roc as his backing.
Yet, this young man was exceedingly humble.
The Dragon Clan liked such refined gentlemen.
Xu Wendong curiously asked, "May I ask, senior, how many humans will participate in the grand competition three days from now?"
He was very curious about how many human cultivators were in the Dragon Clan.
Ao Cheng replied, "Not counting you, there are currently twenty-six human cultivators in the Dragon Clan, and twelve of them will participate in the examination."
"Among them, the highest cultivation level has reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and even the weakest has reached the Soul Division Stage."
Xu Wendong was taken aback, as he currently only had an Out-of-Body Peak Stage cultivation. Competing for the top three with these people seemed highly challenging!
Although it was so, there was no trace of fear in his eyes because he liked challenging things.
"It’s getting late, Young Master Xu, please rest early. I’ll have someone bring you some food later." Ao Cheng said and then proceeded to walk towards the exit.
When he reached the entrance, he stopped and looked back at Xu Wendong, showing a slightly enigmatic smile: "Young Master Xu, actually our Dragon Clan likes personalities with edges and corners."
"Also."
"The examination is in three days, and no one can stop this examination."
"Even if there’s only one person!"
He said and disappeared from Xu Wendong’s sight.
Xu Wendong slightly frowned. What did Ao Cheng’s last words mean?
Was he hinting at something to me?
Xu Wendong felt Ao Cheng was implying something, but he couldn’t figure out what it was at that moment.
Just as Xu Wendong was in confusion, a middle-aged man in a black robe, looking to be in his thirties, appeared at the cave entrance.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a commanding aura with every gesture and movement.
He arrogantly glanced at Xu Wendong: "What’s your name? Which Cultivator Country are you from?"
"What Cultivator Country I am from has nothing to do with you; who do you think you are?" Xu Wendong replied in an unfriendly tone.
If the other party were more courteous, Xu Wendong would surely reciprocate with politeness.
But the other party acted so superior, which made Xu Wendong quite displeased.
Even though the other party’s cultivation level surpassed his own, he didn’t regard him at all.
Mu Chuan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xu Wendong to speak to him in such a manner.
After regaining his senses, he let out a heavy cold snort, inadvertently revealing the aura of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
The aura of a Body Integration Realm expert surged towards Xu Wendong like a tide, instantly making the cave tremble, giving the impression it could collapse at any moment.
"Just a mere ant at the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet you dare to defy me?"
"If it weren’t for this being the Dragon Clan, do you think I’d even spare you a glance?"
Mu Chuan’s eyes were cold like a sharp blade, giving Xu Wendong a great sense of oppression.
Even the corners of his mouth were tinged with blood.
Even though he possessed the Ancient Sacred Body and was extraordinarily gifted, his cultivation was ultimately only at the Out-of-Body Stage.
Facing a Body Integration Realm expert, it was indeed difficult to resist the aura emanating from him.
Mu Chuan let out a heavy cold snort and arrogantly said: "Tell me, which Cultivator Country are you from? Do you have any treasures on you? If so, hand them over quickly."
Xu Wendong’s face turned pale.
At that moment, a Dragon Clan member appeared at the cave entrance with food.
Upon seeing that Dragon Clan member, Mu Chuan seemed to have a change of face, wearing a flattering smile as he accepted the food from the other’s hand: "Elder Ao, I’m really sorry to trouble you to bring food at night. I thank you on behalf of my brother!"
Xu Wendong showed an incredulous expression.
Your face-changing speed is quite something.
But... since when did I become your brother?
