There were only about thirty people attending the Jiuzhou Conference, and what puzzled Long Chen was that there were more than twenty unfamiliar faces.
Moreover, judging by their aura, they were all extremely powerful, definitely not inferior to Luo Bing, Mu Qingyun, and the others, but Long Chen didn't recognize a single one.
On Long Chen's side, only Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Mu Qingyun, and Bai Xiaole announced their participation in the Nine Provinces Conference; even Li Cai, Zhong Ling, Zhong Xiu, and others hadn't registered.
Because Luo Bing had said that even they would be cannon fodder in the Kyushu Tournament, and even making it would be difficult. The reason they participated was to gain experience in competing against top opponents.
Even Luo Bing and the others called themselves cannon fodder, so Li Cai and the others had even less hope, so they didn't register for the Jiuzhou Conference.
However, they had all signed up to watch, but if they were to watch, they couldn't set out together with the participants; the spectator seats would open a few days later.
Moreover, if you want to watch the battle, you have to pay for your own tickets and round-trip expenses; the academy only provides flying boats and dedicated guards.
However, attending the Jiuzhou Conference requires a considerable expense, which is not affordable for most people. But as admirers of Long Chen, there is an even greater chance to witness the true elite battles of Jiuzhou, and many grit their teeth and attend.
When Long Chen arrived, the first thing he saw was Young Master Changchuan, standing out like a crane among chickens. In the distance, countless young women were shouting and cheering, murmuring his name. Clearly, they were all here to bid him farewell.
"Tch, a pretty boy—is that impressive?" Seeing Young Master Changchuan so popular, Bai Xiaole immediately felt a bit annoyed.
Long Chen patted Bai Xiaole on the shoulder and smiled, "You have to learn to appreciate beautiful things. Don't let jealousy blind you. Admit what is inferior to others."
When you're proud, compare others' strengths to yourself; when you're inferior, compare your strengths to others. Luo
Bing and Mu Qingyun exchanged a smile. Long Chen was truly different. Any man who saw Young Master Changchuan would either feel inferior or be madly jealous, but Long Chen remained calm and composed, his heart unwavering.
"Hehe, boss, do you usually compete like this?" Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled.
"Me?" No, I never compare myself to others, because that would make me lazy. Long Chen shook his head.
When Long Chen said this, Luo Ning suddenly laughed: "You really have thick skin. Is this some kind of indirect compliment about your excellence?" Long
Chen shrugged: "There's nothing I can do, invincible. It's just that lonely." Luo
Bing and Mu Qingyun covered their mouths and chuckled, but Long Chen did have the right to say such things. However, he said it in a joking tone, which made it quite amusing.
"Long Chen, there will be a battle between you and me sooner or later. I will never allow anyone to have even the slightest illusion about Fairy Shishi." Young Master Changchuan looked at Long Chen and said coldly.
As soon as Young Master Nagakawa spoke, the entire venue instantly fell silent, and the air was filled with tension.
One was the mysterious Forbidden Zone, the unfathomable Young Master Changchuan; the other was a legendary figure rising like a comet upon arriving at the academy. The moment they met, tensions immediately confronted each other, making everyone tense.
Long Chen frowned and looked Young Master Changchuan up and down: "Are you out of your mind, kid?" You look pretty handsome, I don't want to slap you, but don't get cocky.
I'm in a good mood right now and can't be bothered with you. If I'm in a bad mood, you're finished. I don't care about your status or background, don't force me to do anything." Young
Master Changchuan's sword-like brows furrowed, battle intent rising in his eyes as he said coldly, "Then let's fight. If I lose, I will leave the academy. Fairy Shishi belongs to you." "
Damn, do you think Bai Shishi is something? If she loses, she just gives it to me?" Long Chen couldn't help but laugh at the exasperation, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if two sharp swords were aimed at his back.
Long Chen slowly turned his head and saw a pair of beautiful, blade-like eyes staring straight at him, as if trying to pierce him through.
"Ahem, slip of the tongue, Fairy Shishi, you're actually not ... Well, how should I put it? Anyway, that's not what I meant. "Long Chen saw Bai Shishi's jade-like face covered in frost and couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed."
"You two shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you both to death. Stinky men, stay away." Bai Shishi's voice almost came out through clenched teeth, clearly very angry.
Seeing Bai Shishi angry, Young Master Changchuan fell silent. Long Chen curled his lips and shrugged, putting on an air of impress—I'm not like you.
"Fairy Shishi, actually, ...," Young Master Changchuan couldn't help but say.
"Shut up,"
Bai Shishi shouted angrily. Young Master Changchuan had no choice but to keep quiet, as if he was already used to scolding Bai Shishi.
Long Chen couldn't help but shake his head. As expected, people are all shameless. With the talent and looks of Young Master Changchuan, what kind of woman could he not find? Why go after this terrifyingly hot-tempered Bai Shishi? Why bother?
At this moment, Bai Shishi had already advanced to the Ninth Heaven of Divine Fire, her aura extremely solid. Clearly, Long Chen's two Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pills had a tremendous effect.
However, there was no strange phenomenon or fluctuation around Bai Shishi. Clearly, she had not yet awakened the first-generation bloodline. Among the powerful beings present, only Young Master Changchuan was a first-generation being.
After some inquiries, it was found that during the time Young Master Changchuan left the academy, he returned to the forbidden zone to awaken the first-generation bloodline.
Awakening the first-generation bloodline is extremely difficult. Besides one's own efforts, it also requires external forces and, above all, a bit of luck.
"If anyone keeps bringing me up, don't blame me for falling out with him. I told you, I, Bai Shishi, don't need any man in this life." Bai Shishi warned again, clearly angry this time.
The proud Bai Shishi had actually become a bargaining chip in someone else's bet. Most people couldn't stand it, let alone Bai Shishi.
"This is a bit of a waste...," Long Chen sighed and muttered.
"What did you say?" Bai Shishi immediately turned her face, a murderous look in her eyes.
Long Chen immediately looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "The weather is nice today." "
I'm the team leader participating in the Kyushu Conference. You'd better behave yourself and show me at least some respect, especially you." After Bai Shishi finished speaking, she looked at Long Chen.
What does this have to do with me? Long Chen glared, "When have I ever disrespected you?"
After warning Long Chen and Young Master Changchuan, Bai Shishi looked at the others and said, "They are disciples of the War God Hall. They're joining us at the Jiuzhou Conference. Once everyone gets to know each other, we can set off." Only
then did Long Chen understand why these people were unfamiliar faces—they were all powerful cultivators trained by the War God Hall itself.
After everyone introduced themselves to each other, they became acquainted. At that moment, the void trembled, and a beautiful heavenly horse appeared. Behind the horse, pulling a golden war chariot.
A beautiful woman stepped down from the chariot, giving everyone a gentle smile: "
Warriors of Lingxiao Academy, let's set out!"
