Chapter 305: Chapter 303 Battle Xuanwu [First Update]

"Is someone forcing their way through Yan Mountain?" Li Chen pointed at the surrounding traces, asking in astonishment.

Li Lingtian nodded and said, "Yes, but that was twenty years ago!"

Seeing that his guess was correct, Li Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "What was the outcome?"

A complex glint flashed across Li Lingtian’s expression as he said, "We didn’t manage to capture them!"

Li Chen’s face was full of astonishment; the Yan Mountain base surely had God Realm experts stationed and was surrounded by two hundred thousand troops, all sorts of heavy weaponry, including nuclear missiles. It was incredible that the intruders weren’t captured.

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked the final question: "Who were they?"

Li Lingtian didn’t answer Li Chen’s question directly but instead stared into his eyes.

Li Chen, feeling somewhat puzzled by his stare, tentatively asked, "Is this a military secret?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lingtian first paused, then burst into hearty laughter.

"Yes, a military secret, I cannot tell you for now. But, you’ll find out later."

Li Chen gave a sheepish smile and apologetically said, "I see, I was being presumptuous."

Li Lingtian nodded and said, "Yes, come with me, I’ll take you to the Dragon Team base!"

The Dragon Team base, located deep within Yan Mountain.

The training ground spans thousands of kilometers, but only houses about twenty people.

However, do not underestimate these twenty-some individuals; together, they could easily match a reinforced battalion.

"Vermilion Bird, I heard that the boss recruited a new member for our Dragon Team, is that true?" The person asking was a woman, but one with a burly, bear-like stature, codenamed White Tiger.

The woman known as Vermilion Bird nodded and said, "I’ve heard about it too, apparently he is quite demanding, the boss personally went to invite him three times!"

A Dragon Team member codenamed Wild Bear, spoke with a tone of dissatisfaction, exaggeratingly said, "Wow, who does he think he is, Zhuge Liang, needing the boss to personally visit him thrice?"

Their boss, referring to Li Lingtian, is affectionately called so by them.

Li Lingtian is not only their leader but also their idol and spiritual pillar.

The Dragon Team members’ admiration for Li Lingtian is no less than the crazy fans’ adoration for young, popular stars.

Now, hearing that their boss lowered himself so much to personally invite someone, they all felt indignant.

Vermilion Bird, meticulous and composed, asked, "If the boss values him so much, he must have some extraordinary abilities, right?"

White Tiger shook her head and said, "I don’t know, I heard he’s only eighteen years old, called Immortal Master Li."

"Immortal Master Li? This name is quite famous, a Young Master in the Huaxia Martial Arts World, an unrivaled prominet figure at the moment!"

A member named Black Wolf, having heard of Immortal Master Li’s reputation, immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Black Wolf, our boss also entered the Transformation Realm just after his thirtieth birthday. Do you think his talent is more formidable than our boss?"

The speaker, nicknamed Xuanwu, is one of the four top experts of the Dragon Team.

"This is what others say, not me, why are you glaring at me?" Despite Black Wolf’s loud voice, his confidence seemed somewhat lacking.

"Without investigation, there’s no right to speak; stop spreading rumors here!"

Xuanwu, a die-hard fan of Li Lingtian, naturally had no good feelings towards the pretentious Immortal Master Li.

"Xuanwu, don’t yell at me, if you dare, go yell at Immortal Master Li!" Knowing that Xuanwu was straightforward and often irritable, Black Wolf couldn’t be bothered to argue further.

Xuanwu clenched his fists with a creaking sound and fiercely smashed them onto a large rock beneath.

Only hearing a loud "boom", the boulder shattered instantly.

"Hmph, he better not disappoint me. Otherwise, this fate of the rock will be his own!"

This scene was clearly seen by both Li Lingtian and Li Chen.

Li Lingtian gave Li Chen a slight smile and said, "It seems you’ll have to show your skills. Otherwise, they’ll find it hard to believe in you!"

Li Chen knew these people wanted to give him a tough initiation.

In response, he pointed at the shattered rocks that had been broken by Xuanwu’s fist, and said, "These are merely insignificant tricks undeserving of public display."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, all eyes immediately turned towards him.

Xuanwu’s face turned an iron shade of blue, furious that he, one of the four great experts of the Dragon Group, had been so insulted.

However, due to Li Lingtian’s presence, he restrained his anger and held it in.

Everyone spoke in unison, respectfully shouting towards Li Lingtian, "Hello Boss!"

Li Lingtian waved his hand at them and said, "We’ve got a new member in the Dragon Group. Let’s give him a round of applause!"

After speaking, he looked to Li Chen and said, "Go ahead and give a simple introduction of yourself."

Li Chen nodded, stepped forward confidently, and introduced himself forcefully.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Chen, ’Li’ as in the wood, ’Chen’ as in the stars and moon. I have another nickname—Immortal Master Li!"

Xuanwu snorted disdainfully, bowed to Li Lingtian, and said, "Boss, the new friend said my Kung Fu is insignificant trifle. I would like to learn a thing or two from him, please approve!"

Li Lingtian didn’t reply to Xuanwu, instead turned his gaze to Li Chen to seek his opinion.

Knowing the Boss’s attitude implied consent to his request, Xuanwu feared Li Chen might refuse, unable to take his revenge, so he shouted at Li Chen, "I’ve long heard of Immortal Master Li’s name. I wish to learn from you; do you dare to accept my challenge?"

Seeing Li Lingtian standing with his hands behind his back, presenting a calm demeanor with no intention of stopping the challenge, everyone else seemed eager to watch the drama unfold. Li Chen knew then that unless he showed his skills today, they wouldn’t understand what the title ’Immortal Master Li’ truly meant.

"Alright, I accept!"

Xuanwu was overjoyed when Li Chen accepted, "Seeing you are only in your twenties, let’s make it this—if you last ten rounds against me, we’ll acknowledge you as one of the Dragon Group’s members. Otherwise, you can go back where you came from; we do not welcome failures in the Dragon Group!"

Li Chen did not respond verbally, only extended three fingers towards Xuanwu.

Xuanwu initially paused and said, "Three rounds are also fine. For someone your age to last three rounds against me is also a rarity; the Boss himself went to invite you!"

Li Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, no, that’s not what I mean!"

Xuanwu frowned, his expression turned serious, and he asked angrily, "Then what do you mean?"

Li Chen cleared his throat, slowly said, "What I mean is, if you can withstand three rounds against me without losing, then consider it my loss!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s bold and arrogant statement, everyone present was shocked.

Even Li Lingtian’s face slightly changed.

Considering that Xuanwu is a late-stage Innate expert, not any weaker compared to the Dragon Family Ancestor. Even Li Lingtian himself didn’t have the full confidence to defeat him within three moves.

Li Lingtian himself was so surprised, needlessly to say about the others.

"Wow, this newcomer really has the nerve of a toad yawning—a huge breath. Daring to boast about defeating Xuanwu within three moves. Even Azure Dragon would need thirty rounds to narrowly defeat him, right?"

"Very domineering; he’s my type!" White Tiger, with a back broad as a bear’s, even showed hints of infatuation, the fat on his face trembling.

Xuanwu was even more furious. Although he didn’t have an undefeated record like Li Lingtian’s, he had won nine out of ten battles; when had he been looked down upon like this?

"Kid, you’re quite arrogant. I hope your Kung Fu is as good as your mouth!"

As the last of his words fell, he took a big step forward, directly stamped on the rock, creating a deep depression, his murderous intent skyrocketing.
