Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1380: Chapter 1379: The Eve of the Assessment

”Then can’t we join these Three Great Legions?” someone asked again.

”Yes, you can.”

Chen Fan nodded, ”To be honest, joining the Three Netherworld King and Angel Armies doesn’t have any restrictions. As long as you’re willing, you can join. But the Star God Army is different. The Star God Army is the strongest corps in the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion. Everyone in it has been promoted from the Netherworld King and Angel Armies, and they are very powerful.”

”Don’t think you can easily join the Netherworld King and Angel Armies just because you want to. First, to join these two corps, you must first become a Formal Disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion. Second... and most importantly!”

”Joining these two corps requires you to go to the Starry Arena at a specific time. Do you know what the Starry Arena is?”

”It can be described in two words—slaughter!”

”The Starry Arena is not a place where ordinary people can survive. If you know nothing and have no strength or skills, then joining these two corps might result in you being killed the very moment you step into the Starry Arena, and it might even involve others.”

”Also, the people in these Three Great Legions are not as kind as I am talking to you. The only thing they value is strength. As long as you have strength, you have the right to speak, no matter how ugly you are, how short you are, or how annoying you are. If you have power, everyone will have to treat you with respect!”

”Those with strong self-esteem should not even think about joining the Three Great Legions. They will force you to commit suicide.”

”Hahaha...”

Hearing Chen Fan’s words, everyone couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

But after the laughter, they also felt a sense of reverence towards the Three Great Legions.

Though what Chen Fan said was amusing, they could feel the envy in his words and his fear of the Three Great Legions.

”Get out of the way!”

”Move aside!”

”Kill those who block the way directly!”

As Chen Fan and the others spoke, members of the Netherworld King Army charged through the passageway, the Scarlet Flame Tiger’s footsteps echoing with thudding sounds.

Everyone immediately stepped aside, fearing to provoke the Netherworld King Army.

”So arrogant... but I like it!”

”Is this the legendary domineering behavior?”

”I really hope I have such a day. Only then will I truly come into my own.”

Envious voices echoed around, countless gazes watching the Netherworld King Army pass through, hearts filled with excitement, eager to join them immediately.

Leading the Netherworld King Army was a young man in purple armor, his expression cold and carrying a chilling aura. The Scarlet Flame Tiger he straddled was also larger than the others.

Su Han could sense that this Scarlet Flame Tiger’s cultivation base was a Second Grade Spirit Transformation Realm.

When this young man arrived before Chen Fan, he unexpectedly stopped.

”Big brother,” Chen Fan clasped his hands in salute.

Everyone was stunned, incredulously looking at Chen Fan.

The captain of the Netherworld King Army was actually Chen Fan’s big brother?

Su Han instantly understood why Mu Lie had a brother among the Inner Sect Disciples, yet Chen Fan still dared to oppose him.

So it was because he had a big brother serving as a captain in the Netherworld King Army!

”You’re still so worthless.”

Unexpectedly, after looking at Chen Fan for a moment, the young man directly scolded him.

Chen Fan showed a bitter smile, shaking his head, ”I said I’ll definitely join the Netherworld King Army, but right now my strength isn’t enough. Do you want me to go and die?”

”In the Starry Arena, there are endless resources and opportunities. Only by going there can you rapidly improve your strength, and what you call a lack of strength is just an excuse for your cowardice.”

After saying this, the young man snorted coldly and left with the Netherworld King Army.

Leaving Chen Fan alone, constantly smiling bitterly and shaking his head.

The others also fell silent at this moment, fearing to say anything that might anger Chen Fan.

However, Chen Fan was clearly not as small-minded as they thought. After a moment, he regained that gentle expression and said to Su Han and the others, ”Come with me. After entering the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, remember not to speak casually. If you have questions, you can message me. If there are no questions, it’s best to speak less.”

”We heed Senior Brother Chen’s advice.”

Everyone nodded.

...

As they followed Chen Fan into the huge palace complex, everyone realized they had underestimated its size.

From the outside, it was impressive, but not as shocking as it was now.

Millions of people were standing on an open space, appearing sparse without any sense of crowding.

Outside the palace complex, more examinees continued to arrive, yet there was still plenty of space on this open ground.

And in front of the palace complex, there were over a hundred such open areas.

Before these open grounds was a huge high platform, bustling with numerous disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion. Su Han and the others had to go to that high platform for the first stage of the test.

”There are three stages to this test.”

Chen Fan continued, ”The first stage is at this high platform, you don’t need to do anything, just place your hand on the stone pillar. The stone pillar is used to test your aptitude, and the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion will eliminate those with poor aptitude first.”

”I counted before; this test has more than one million one hundred and fifty examinees, and the first stage only selects one hundred thousand people.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was deeply shocked, feeling somewhat nervous.

Su Han looked at the stone pillar with indifference but felt a bit awkward inside.

When recruiting disciples for the Phoenix Sect on the Dragon Martial Continent, it was the same...

This wasn’t Su Han’s invention but something he learned from others in his previous life.

Of course, after becoming the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, this assessment process continued to be passed down in the Three Great Star Domains and the Holy Domain.

Until Su Han’s fall and rebirth, with the Starry Alliance suppressing the Starry Sky, this testing method still remained.

”The second stage requires you to go to another planet to acquire task items.”

”Remember my words!”

Speaking here, Chen Fan’s tone became more severe, ”From the second stage onward, your safety is not guaranteed. On that planet, you can fight freely; the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion won’t care about your life or death. If you get hold of the task items enough to get you into the top one hundred thousand, then you can participate in the third stage of the arena match!”
