Long Chen was stunned as well. Although this man was young, his talent was astonishing. At this age, he possessed such terrifying strength. Even Long Chen himself was shocked, but he never expected this guy to actually become his boss and to treat him with such a grand ceremony.
"Don't joke around. With your talent, any Celestial Master here who gives you even a little guidance will make your combat power soar, and your future achievements are limitless. Recognizing me as your boss is a waste of your talent." Long Chen waved his hand and said.
"I, Bai Xiaole, always keep my word. If I accept a bet, I accept defeat. How could I be a treacherous person?" Bai Xiaole said angrily.
"Do whatever you want,"
Long Chen shook his head, ignoring this mentally challenged guy, and headed straight for Luo Bing and the others.
Seeing that Long Chen didn't refuse, Bai Xiaole stood up and followed behind him.
"Why are you following me?" Long Chen couldn't help but frown.
"Since you're the boss's subordinate, of course you should follow him." Bai Xiaole chuckled, but in his smile, Long Chen always sensed a hint of sinister intentions.
"Wait, you said your name is Bai Xiaole?" Long Chen asked.
"That's right."
"What about Bai Shishi..."
"She's my sister."
"Biological sister?" Long Chen was stunned for a moment.
"Of course it's close. Otherwise, wouldn't she have beaten me to death just now?" Bai Xiaole said.
"Your sister is so strong, why don't you hang out with her? Why do you acknowledge me as the boss?" Long Chen asked in confusion.
"Tch, she's a woman, why would I be hanging around with her? Hehe, boss, although I, Bai Xiaole, may not be very strong, I am born with spatial talent and can recognize a person's strength.
On this point, Bai Shishi had to admit defeat to me. I know you're incredibly strong, and as your little brother, you definitely won't let me down. Bai Xiaole chuckled.
Although Bai Xiaole was not short and looked like an adult, his face still retained a childish innocence, making him seem like a child who hadn't grown up.
"With such great talent and a grandfather who is the dean, do you still need to be someone else's little brother?" Long Chen was somewhat puzzled.
"Boss, you don't know. Forget it, this is a long story. You should focus on what you're doing first. I'll explain everything in detail later." Bai Xiaole said helplessly.
Suddenly having a little underling out of nowhere, Long Chen felt a bit uncomfortable and said to Bai Xiaole, "
I, Long Chen, don't take on any underlings easily. Anyone who can call me boss is a true powerhouse. Let's talk about this later."
"Whether you accept it or not, I'll call you boss anyway." Bai Xiaole actually started acting shamelessly.
Long Chen shook his head. This kid seemed a bit out of his mind. Long Chen ignored him and discussed the number of participants with Luo Bing and Mu Qingyun.
Luo Bing and Mu Qingyun had some understanding of the Jialin Immortal Land and knew it was extremely dangerous inside, facing all human powerhouses. That was the most terrifying situation, so they had no clear direction on how many people would fight.
After some discussion, it was finally decided that the Xiaoyao Alliance would send three hundred people, and Luo Sect would send one hundred to participate in this Jialin Immortal Land.
Those who can enter the Jialin Immortal Land must excel in combat power, intelligence, and adaptability; this tests a person's overall abilities.
Strength alone doesn't have much advantage; it mainly depends on a person's survival ability. So after careful selection, only this many people were chosen.
As for those disciples who couldn't participate, although somewhat disappointed, they all trusted Long Chen's judgment. If they really went in, there was an eighty or ninety percent chance they would die inside.
Even those carefully selected would only make it out alive, so it's very likely that half won't make it back, so there's nothing to envy.
But compared to the conservative stance of Luomen and Xiaoyao Alliance, other guilds had few concerns. As long as someone was willing to register, they could enter without any restrictions.
After submitting the list, each person would select a Celestial Master for pre-battle guidance, but with Long Chen, they no longer needed this.
After submitting the documents, everyone returned to their own venues to wait for the departure announcement. The academy had announced departure in three days, but the exact timing had not yet been fully determined.
Bai Xiaole also followed Long Chen to Luomen. Luo Bing, Mu Qingyun, and the others found Bai Xiaole like a shadow and found it somewhat amusing.
Zhong Ling smiled and said, "Bai Xiaole, why doesn't your name sound imposing at all?" "
My mother gave it to her, saying that as long as I am safe and happy, that's enough. Saying 'small' is a humble attitude, knowing reverence. Hmph, what a lousy name." Bai Xiaole pouted, a bit annoyed, and said he really didn't like the name.
Bai Xiaole's demeanor made Zhong Ling, Zhong Xiu, and the others burst into laughter. Bai Xiaole really was like a big kid, seemingly without any scheming, and seemed especially pure and easy to get along with.
"Your name is quite nice. Only by recognizing your own shortcomings can you learn reverence. Those who understand reverence usually also know how to be grateful." Luo Bing comforted her.
"Exactly, Third Brother's name still has the character 'Chen' in it. No matter how little you are, you're still older than Chen." Zhong Ling also comforted her.
"That's true!"
Bai Xiaole's eyes lit up, seemingly less hung up on the name. Everyone was speechless—this guy really had a pure mind.
"Xiao Le, why did your sleeve get torn? Was it Third Brother who hit him? "Zhong Ling suddenly pointed to a torn spot in Bai Xiaole's sleeve.
"Well, no, it was from a fight with someone before." Bai Xiaole glanced at his sleeve and shook his head.
"Why did you get into a fight earlier?" Zhong Ling was taken aback.
"Yes, I heard there's a genius from the Qimen side who practices Plum Blossom Numerology and is very skilled at divination. I'll go find him.
But this man was extremely arrogant, immediately saying, 'What am I supposed to be?' How could I indulge him? Then a fight broke out.
But this guy is utterly shameless. Even after using his cultivation, he's already a Four Extremes Realm expert. Naturally, I couldn't beat him, so I ran away. "Bai Xiaole said bitterly.
After hearing this, the sisters Zhong Ling and Zhong Xiu were stunned at first, but when they realized what was happening, they burst out laughing so hard they couldn't straighten up.
Long Chen glanced at Bai Xiaole, his intuition telling him that Bai Xiaole wasn't someone who would lie, which meant he was telling the truth. If true, Bai Xiaole really didn't seem very smart.
Bai Xiaole watched everyone burst into laughter. He didn't understand why they were laughing, thinking they were laughing at him for not being able to beat him. His face flushed with anger. Just as he was about to speak, Long Chen spoke first:
"Xiaole, let me see your eyes."
Bai Xiaole was stunned, eyes wide as he showed Long Chen. After staring for a while, Long Chen gasped:
"It's actually the legendary Three-Flower Eyes. When the three flowers converge, the six paths are repelled, ghosts and gods are terrified. Your talent is just too strong!"
"But when my mother was pregnant with me, she suffered a serious injury, which was fundamentally damaged, causing my calico pupils to be congenitally deficient. Even Grandpa couldn't do anything about it. My calico pupils, this..."I won't be able to start my whole life, otherwise how could my sister look down on me and treat me like a waste? Bai Xiaole said somewhat disappointedly.
"Congenital deficiency can be supplemented later; I might ... It can help you. Long Chen pondered for a moment, then looked at Bai Xiaole and said. Bai Xiaole's Three-Flower Pupils instantly reminded him of his own Purgatory Eye. Perhaps the Purgatory Eye could be used to use the Three Flower Eyes.
