Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2178 - 2181: Zhou Chui, All the Opponents Seem Strong

As he stepped out, Ling Xiao happened to bump into Shen Shi.

Ling Xiao smirked slightly, turned, and went downstairs, not intending to argue with him here, since the entrance exam was the most crucial.

But Shen Shi was different.

He was infuriated and seething with rage.

"That brat actually dares to show up in Eight Immortals County City, hmph, I'll remember this today. Once he joins Eight Immortals Mountain, he'll surely suffer."

Shen Shi wasn't foolish; aware of the consequences of causing trouble now, he forcibly suppressed his anger.

A gathering of martial artists formed at Eight Immortals Tower, precisely one hundred and twenty individuals.

Eight of these will be selected to join the Lower Eight Immortals Mountain Range as disciples of the Lower Eight Immortals of Eight Immortals Mountain.

Ling Xiao observed briefly, noting these young martial artists were talents from towns under Eight Immortals County's jurisdiction and also from the Three Great Families of Eight Immortals County City.

Each one's cultivation level was quite strong.

Looking at it this way, it seemed that without a tough elimination process, selecting those eight people would be difficult.

Just as he was thinking, Shen Chong appeared.

"Follow me!"

Shen Chong didn't greet Shen Shi, only gave Ling Xiao a cold look. He was planning to retaliate against Ling Xiao, but who would have thought Ling Xiao had not shown up in Eight Immortals County City for seven consecutive days.

Helplessly, this revenge plan could only be postponed until after the exam.

Whether or not Ling Xiao could join Eight Immortals Mountain, Shen Chong had already decided to dismember this kid.

Not only to avenge his brother but also to preserve the reputation of the Shaw Clan.

A dignified son of the Shaw Clan being humiliated by a martial artist from a remote town without daring to retaliate, would make them unable to hold their heads high.

Walking briskly, Shen Chong moved faster and faster.

Yet the one hundred and twenty individuals behind him could also keep up tightly. It was evident that each of the selected individuals had good qualifications; even when Shen Chong deliberately pulled ahead, he didn't succeed.

Of course, it was because Shen Chong was holding back; if he ran with full force, perhaps fewer than thirty would keep up.

About a quarter of an hour later, the crowd reached the East Pass.

Ling Xiao was very familiar with this place; when he came, he passed through here.

"The Eight Passes of Eight Immortals County City are handled by the Lower Eight Immortals of Eight Immortals Mountain. This East Pass is generally used to select disciples."

Shen Chong calmly introduced: "Each Pass has a dedicated teleportation array leading to the foot of Lower Eight Immortals Mountain. If you pass the exam, you are eligible to enter Eight Immortals Mountain.

Though the population is not as large as Eight Immortals County City, the spiritual qi there is abundant, greatly aiding your cultivation."

"Interesting, it seems my choice wasn't wrong. Choosing a better place will greatly benefit the recovery of my cultivation level."

Ling Xiao nodded secretly after hearing Shen Chong's words.

For him, the exam wasn't easy.

Because he found among the one hundred and twenty people, five were Reincarnation Warriors, making a total of six including himself.

Normally, the strength of Reincarnation Warriors is much stronger than ordinary martial artists of the same level.

These five are definitely going to be his rivals.

"Seems like my fighting spirit won't be easily diminished, even in reincarnation; there's no shortage of opponents."

Ling Xiao initially worried about losing his fighting spirit due to a lack of opponents over time, which would be very detrimental to his growth.

But judging from the current situation, his worries were evidently unnecessary.

Those who choose reincarnation are generally talents, and he has quite many opponents.

Moreover, even among ordinary martial artists, there are exceptional standouts, definitely not to be underestimated.

"Are you afraid, kid?"

Somehow, Shen Chong appeared beside Ling Xiao and said coldly, "If you're scared, hurry and get out, Eight Immortals Mountain doesn't need worthless trash like you."

"Afraid? If I'm afraid, then your brother Shen Shi should be hiding inside a turtle shell and not coming out."

Ling Xiao glanced at Shen Chong contemptuously and said, "In Eight Immortals Mountain, you're just a small errand boy. Don't think of yourself as anything special; just do your job and don't make trouble, or I'll embarrass you just like your brother!"

"You're courting death!"

Shen Chong had assumed his threats would make Ling Xiao leave, making it easier for him to strike.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao's temper was even bigger than his; despite being a martial artist at the first layer of the Yin-Yang Realm, he couldn't intimidate this young man.

"Courting death? That's what your brother said back then; I have an invitation. Do you dare to kill me?"

Ling Xiao looked at Shen Chong contemptuously and asked.

Shen Chong hesitated for a moment but still didn't dare act. Sacrificing his future to retaliate against measly trash wasn't worth it.

"If you don't dare act, then don't stand there like a pillar blocking the way; the exam should start soon, right?"

"Alright! Very well, you remember this, kid. Even if you miraculously join Eight Immortals Mountain this time, I won't let you have a good time."

Shen Chong angrily left a remark before going about his business.

After all, he was merely a runner under someone else, lacking any real authority.

"Hey brother, impressive! You actually dared to confront Shen Chong, you're cool! I'm Zhou Chui, a direct heir of the Zhou Clan from Eight Immortals County City."

As Ling Xiao awaited the exam to begin, a noble-garbed youth approached and gave him a thumbs up.

"Ling Xiao, disciple of the Ling Family of Feather Transformation Town."

Ling Xiao glanced at Zhou Chui briefly and replied casually.

He initially didn't want to speak but responded out of politeness.

This Zhou Chui turned out to be from the Zhou Clan, one of the Three Great Families. His strength was decent but not qualified to be Ling Xiao's rival.

"Oh, from Feather Transformation Town, huh."

Zhou Chui's expression showed a hint of disdain upon hearing this, but he quickly covered it skillfully, still smiling warmly as he said, "Feather Transformation Town has plenty of talents too. What's your current cultivation level?"

"Tenth Cave Heaven Realm."

Ling Xiao answered indifferently.

"Tenth Cave Heaven Realm? Are you kidding? At this level, are you really here for the exam, ready to throw your life away?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Zhou Chui sounded condescendingly, as if he were superior.

"Why say that?"

Ling Xiao asked calmly.

"Ling Xiao, you really don't know your limits. The entrance exam to Eight Immortals Mountain can cost you your life. With your current level, not only will you fail, but you'll likely lose your life.

Listen to the advice, better follow me. I ensure you'll dine and drink well, and no one will dare bully you.

Not even the Shaw Clan."

Zhou Chui spoke confidently.

After all this talk, it was evident Zhou Chui wanted Ling Xiao to be his lackey.

In harsher terms, a henchman.
