Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 508 - 232: One Against a Hundred

The wind blew through the hollow sixth layer of the Underground City, creating a mournful sound.

Wang Chong, in purple armor, descended from the sky, continuously coughing blood, looking desperately at the figure slowly descending from above.

"Take it, I can give you the token, are you sure you will only rob me once?"

Xu Guang calmly watched him, "Xu Mou never goes back on his word."

Wang Chong smiled bitterly and took out the left front paw of the Moon Bear demon from his chest, "This is my token, a total of six."

Xu Guang received it and turned to leave.

His expression was composed, his steps steady.

After a while, Wang Chong slowly got up, swallowed an Elixir, and his weakened aura quickly recovered, reaching peak condition in an instant.

His eyes flashed with a hint of distress, but he was helpless.

A figure suddenly appeared.

"Wang Chong, was your token also taken?"

"It’s you?"

Wang Chong looked disgustedly at Chen Feng standing before him. They both came from Xinzhou in the Northern Six States, but Wang Chong had heard about this Chen Feng, born into a prominent family, was ruthless, killed his mother and brother for power, was rumored to have connections with Xinzhou’s top assassin organization Yan Luo Hall, and was the most disliked among the Xinzhou candidates for the examination.

"It’s none of your business."

"Don’t you want revenge? That Xu Guang is too flashy. He needs to pay the price. I’ve contacted many people, willing to join forces and ambush him. If we can seize the tokens from him, we don’t have to worry about the examination."

Wang Chong’s heart was stirred, slightly tempted.

Just thinking about Chen Feng’s notorious reputation...

He only then noticed Chen Feng’s appearance was a bit odd, with one leg longer than the other, an aura filled with an irrepressible weakness, pale face...

He looked somewhat miserable.

...

"Sister Purple Cloud, Brother Xu is robbing everyone now? Isn’t that not right? He’s making too many enemies, isn’t he?"

Gongsun Bai asked nervously in a low voice, not even daring to speak loudly.

At first, she was quite excited to see Xu Guang becoming a plunderer, but as Xu Guang robbed more than a hundred people in half a day, she became a bit panicked.

Looking at Xu Guang’s posture, it seemed he intended to rob from start to finish.

Wasn’t this too high-profile?

Jiang Zi Yun’s expression also turned serious.

Yet unexpectedly, someone beside her suddenly spoke, "Being high-profile is good! It’s best to have an even more prominent performance. In Beiji Six Academies, fear you won’t stand out, just fear you will blend in with the crowd. Congratulations to you all."

"Who!?"

Jiang Zi Yun turned around suddenly and saw a middle-aged man in luxurious purple clothing standing behind them, no one knew when he appeared.

"No need to worry, I am Gu Taihong, Deputy City Lord of Jizhou Haotian City, once a disciple of Beiji Six Academies. This time I came to invest in future junior brothers and sisters. Brother Xu’s performance is dazzling, and it was not easy for me to find you all."

Jiang Zi Yun’s serious expression slightly eased, "Greetings, senior."

Gu Taihong did not act grandly, only shook his head while stroking his beard, "I heard you two are from Li Taizhou?"

Without waiting for Jiang Zi Yun to speak, Gu Taihong continued.

"Do you think the examination is harsh?"

They exchanged glances, just seeing what the mirror showed, some being besieged by demons, dying tragically, others in fierce battles with plunderers barely escaping with their lives. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Harsh?

Of course, it’s harsh.

"If I tell you, passing the examination is just the simplest task. Once entering Beiji Six Academies, all experiences are extremely harsh. If you don’t want to blend in, you need enough dazzling performance. How can you strive for resources without performance? How to get noticed by the high-levels in the Six Academies? The treatment of a Saint’s disciple is entirely different from ordinary students.

With Brother Xu’s performance today, when he emerges, those willing to recruit him could line up from Jingchen Pass to Beiji City."

Gu Taihong said approvingly.

"Today’s performance in front of True Saint King, Brother Xu’s actions will surely draw the attention of the two Saints. What this means, I’m sure you all understand."

Gu Taihong was not the first to notice Xu Guang. Although there were many mirrors in the Central Plaza, there were more spectators, someone surely noticed Xu Guang’s performance.

Just compared to Gu Taihong’s offered conditions, others’ offers seemed quite petty.

"For Brother Xu’s performance today, on behalf of Haotian City, I am willing to present Brother Xu with three thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals. After the examination, please join Brother Xu for a drink."

Jiang Zi Yun was moved.

This was Gu Taihong’s offer.

Compared to others offering dozens to hundreds of Spirit Crystals, with various conditions, like marriage alliances, offering several juniors as Xu Guang’s warriors, etc.

Gu Taihong directly offered three thousand Spirit Crystals, without any conditions.

Although Jiang Zi Yun repeatedly stated she would not decide for Xu Guang, Gu Taihong’s attitude moved her.

Meanwhile, Gu Taihong also revealed some news to Jiang Zi Yun, the reason this examination attracted so much attention was because a Saint had predicted that among the candidates, a Saint would emerge.

After Gu Taihong left, Gongsun Bai wisely asked about the origin of Haotian City, only to realize it had significant backing.

The center of Jizhou was undoubtedly where the Demon Hunter Beiji Six Academies were located, the Beiji City, and Haotian City was a satellite city of Beiji City. The City Lord was concurrently a Saint from the Six Academies, while the Deputy City Lords were experts from several prominent families in Haotian City.

Gu Taihong was also a Second Nirvana Martial Dao expert.
