Monarch Of Time

Chapter 571 - 571 Strengths and weaknesses

Jiang Chenʼs determined voice resounded throughout the Assignment Hall, attracting the attention of many disciples around him, but he didnʼt seem to care about any of it as he kept staring seriously at Shun Long.

Shun Long shook his head since he knew that it was impossible to change their minds.

At the same time, he also understood that Jiang Chen was right.

If he could take on a D-rank faction mission by himself, especially one that required him to take down a middle rank 5 magic beast, how could the rest of them try and complete the easier missions?

In the end, all 4 of them could be considered geniuses even in the Holy sect, and even if they werenʼt monsters at the same level as Shun Long right now, they couldnʼt simply allow themselves to fall behind him.

If Shun Long could complete a faction mission by himself with his cultivation at the early rank 3 of the Nascent Soul, how could the rest of them shy away from it when they were more than 2 minor ranks higher than him?

This was also the same reason why Liu Mei had accepted the ʼBlood Absorption artʼ from Little Black.

She didnʼt want to fall too behind from Shun Long, and she knew that that was the only way to keep walking by his side.

Besides, would the rest of the factions in the outer court really wait for them to gradually grow stronger? Which of the other disciples of the Holy sect wasnʼt doing their best to grow as well? After all, the sect itself was no different than a huge competition.

However, understanding which risks to take was still important. Although Shun Long understood Jiang Chenʼs and the restʼs thoughts, he wasnʼt planning on letting them needlessly risk their lives in the future.

ʼʼLetʼs go!ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs calm voice resounded in everyoneʼs ears, as he turned around and left the Assignment Hall, heading towards the entrance of the sect.

When they arrived in front of the entrance of the enormous white palace at the peak of the Holy mountain, Shun Long turned around and looked at Liu Mei and the rest of his group before he said in a serious voice

ʼʼNo matter what, make sure to stay alive. I donʼt care if you push yourselves to the limits or not, a month from now, I expect each of you to return safely here.ʼʼ

As he finished speaking, Shun Long stared at Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian for a few moments, before he turned his gaze towards Xie Xingyi and finally Liu Mei who was looking at him with a sweet gaze.

Shun Long clearly understood, that even though Jiang Chen was most likely the strongest one out of those 4 right now, he and Bai Longtian would be in the most danger during their missions, which was why he warned the 2 of them like this.

This was because both of them had actually chosen the same type of missions, to eradicate a den of thieves where the bandit leaders of those dens had much higher cultivation bases than them, while the bandit leadersʼ subordinates were also said to be strong as well.

However, that wasnʼt the only reason why Shun Long felt that the 2 of them were going to be in danger this time compared to Liu Mei and Xingyi.

After all, Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi had also chosen extremely difficult missions for their own levels, and their missionsʼ difficulty didnʼt pale in front of Jiang Chenʼs and Bai Longtianʼs missions.

Instead, it was because Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian didnʼt have any powerful ways to escape from their opponents if they ended up in a tough spot.

Xie Xingyiʼs physique was not only suited towards stealth and assassination, but it was also perfect when she needed to escape from a dangerous situation. Although nothing was truly perfect and there were plenty of ways to counter that as well, Shun Long understood that it wasnʼt easy to lock down someone who had the Vanishing Shadows unique physique if they were prepared.

However, Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian were completely different from the 2 girls.

Although each one of them also had a unique physique and they were also considered monsters in their own regards, they didnʼt have a way to escape like Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi did.

Even though Jiang Chenʼs attack, control, and speed were all at the peak of his level, especially when he activated both his ʼEternal Darkness physiqueʼ and used his ʼDemonic Wingsʼ to augment his speed, while Bai Longtianʼs attack, defense, and speed were practically unmatched for cultivators at the same level, especially when he activated his ʼGolden Buddha unique physiqueʼ, if they were caught in a bad situation and they didnʼt try to escape in time, they truly may die.

However, Shun Long wasnʼt willing to see either of them dying.

Almost as if they had guessed Shun Longʼs thoughts, Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian both nodded their heads as they looked at him, before Jiang Chenʼs lips actually formed a rare smile as his voice resounded in everyoneʼs ears

ʼʼDonʼt worry. I promise that even without my bloodline, I still wonʼt die to a bunch of trash regardless of their cultivation level. You shouldnʼt die either.ʼʼ

ʼʼBrother Shun, the same goes for me. My Golden Buddha unique physique isnʼt that soft for me to die so easily. I am more worried about you instead.ʼʼ

Shun Long shook his head and smiled when he heard Jiang Chenʼs and Bai Longtianʼs determined tones as they spoke.

ʼʼAlright, letʼs go then. If any of you return before the 1-month period is over, you can go and take a look at the Dao Tower inside the Holy city. One month later... we will take on the C-rank faction mission together!ʼʼ
