Chapter 2100 - 2100 2090 The Second Challenge

2100: Chapter 2090: The Second Challenge 2100: Chapter 2090: The Second Challenge Bai Xiaosheng waved his chubby hand, and servants distributed a green aventurine token to everyone.

“This is a token I had specially made, imprinted with soul imprinting, made from real green aventurine.”

Hearing this, Long Yan was somewhat astounded; Bai Xiaosheng truly was wealthy and extravagant, each piece of green aventurine the size of a palm cost a hundred Mysterious Lingdan, and there were nearly three hundred people here.

“Of course, not all the aventurine is here; there are still quite a few jade tokens on the islands behind the cultivators.”

“Your task, young heroes, is to collect all the tokens.

They might be on a demon beast or possibly underground; of course, some Genius Earth Treasures are there as a subsidy for the young heroes.”

During his speech, Bai Xiaosheng jumped down from the deck, pushed aside some weeds in front of him, and placed a green token inside.

“The method to obtain the tokens is quite simple, of course; everyone will gather at this time after three days, and if there is any danger along the way, our people will be responsible for leading you out.”

“Moreover, the methods of obtaining the tokens are not necessarily only from the islands.”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at the crowd with a peculiar gaze, but his last statement exploded like a bomb among the cultivators below.

“Bai Xiaosheng’s final meaning is that we can snatch tokens from other people.”

“This, what should we do now?”

“Everyone, calm down.”

Bai Xiaosheng made a quieting gesture and then continued to speak.

“The task is timed at three days; anyone with ten tokens after three days passes, while those with less than ten or who give up are eliminated.”

“So…”

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze swept over all the cultivators and then he ordered,

“Begin!”

The surrounding cultivators all sprang into action, rushing towards the direction of the islands.

Long Yan, however, did not rush to the island; the method of obtaining the tokens was not the issue, the issue was how to safeguard the tokens in one’s possession.

“Brother Long, are we not going?”

Chu Bei had gotten used to leaving such brain-consuming tasks to Long Yan.

Saintess Luo Pin wasn’t in a hurry either and stayed with Long Yan.

“There’s no rush.”

Long Yan strolled along the beach, and under the search of his True Qi, these tokens had nowhere to hide.

Lanufacturing only a few people could potentially threaten the three of them, so there was also no need to hurry.

The woodland in front of them was vast, a paradise for beasts.

Along the way, Long Yan had not prepared to rob by force, mainly because there was no need; those currently snatching tokens only had one or two, which was far from the thirty required by the trio.

Unbeknownst to him, Long Yan had already considered Saintess Luo Pin as part of his own side.

“Let’s rest for two days.”

Long Yan found a branch and closed his eyes to rest.

Making him go around snatching tokens from others or demon beasts would be too troublesome, and three days was too little time.

If the other party desperately fled, it would backfire.

Chu Bei was indifferent, as he had come this time just to broaden his horizons.

Even if he got eliminated, it was fine.

Saintess Luo Pin watched Long Yan and also floated down to sit, though her posture was much more elegant than Long Yan’s, her white dress amidst the forest made her seem like an Immortal.

Two days later, most cultivators had nearly collected enough tokens to pass and were preparing to return to the edge of the islands, at the same time the tense atmosphere among them was gradually relaxing.

Zheng Qi was one of them; he was just at the sixth level of God King, and at this conference brimming with geniuses, he really didn’t count for much.

Although only two days had passed, he had escaped numerous pursuits.

Looking at the eleven tokens in his ring, he was already fantasizing about a beautiful future life.

No matter if he was first or last on the Earth Ranking, he would receive invitations from the major sects.

As long as he could cling to one of them, he wouldn’t lack cultivation resources and martial arts in this lifetime.

“Hello there.”

Zheng Qi was awakened from his fantasy by this voice.

It was all too familiar to him.

Long Yan and two others were standing right in front of him, blocking his path.

“Is there something you want?”

Zheng Qi swallowed hard and asked, his mind starting to race with doubts.

It had been two days, and geniuses like these should have already gathered enough tokens.

After all, the one in front of him was Long Yan, the Saintess of the Shengdao Alliance, Luo Pin.

He was not too clear about Chu Bei, but what kind of weakness could someone associating with Long Yan possess?

“I would like to borrow a thing from you.”

Long Yan looked at Zheng Qi with a smile in his eyes, trying to make his expression as friendly as possible.

However, the smiling face only made Zheng Qi feel more terrified.

“What…

what?”

“Your token, of course.”

Zheng Qi’s worst fear had come to pass.

As soon as Long Yan mentioned it, a green array appeared beneath Zheng Qi’s feet.

The reason he had been able to escape until now was that he was a rare cultivator of Wind martial arts.

He had absolute confidence in his speed.

He might not match Long Yan in attack, but no one could catch up to him when it came to speed.

“What a bother.”

Watching Long Yan already streaking toward the horizon, he muttered reluctantly, eliciting a chuckle from Luo Pin, who covered her mouth with a hand.

Then, Long Yan turned into a streak of crimson light, chasing after Zheng Qi’s green light.

His intention was to avoid combat and have Zheng Qi hand over the tokens willingly, but it seemed that Zheng Qi wasn’t in a willing state.

“So much for Long Yan.”

At first, when he saw no one could catch up, Zheng Qi was full of pride.

So much for Long Yan—just a reputation with no substance.

Seeing my speed, he dared not to pursue.

“What is that?”

While he was feeling smug, Zheng Qi suddenly turned and saw the crimson light that Long Yan had become.

He was immediately scared out of his wits.

What kind of freak was Long Yan to be comparable to him in speed?

Behind him, Long Yan waved his hand, and a huge formation appeared in front of Zheng Qi.

The latter was unable to dodge in time and crashed heavily into it, making a sound that even Long Yan found painful to hear.

“Now, hand over the token.”

Seeing Long Yan next to him, Zheng Qi felt an urge to cry without tears.

What kind of monster was this?

His speed wasn’t weak, and his attack was so strong.

Trembling, he handed over the eleven hard-earned tokens.

Zheng Qi felt his heart bleeding.

These were tokens he had fought desperately to obtain over the past two days, and now they were just snatched away by Long Yan.

“Thanks.”

The sound of Long Yan’s voice made Zheng Qi want to give him a good beating, but he was neither able to fight him off nor run away.

The psychological shadow on Zheng Qi was immeasurable.

“Did you catch up?”

“Mhm.”

Handing the acquired tokens to Chu Bei, he thought to himself, this youngster, Zheng Qi, had actually gathered quite a lot, enough for one person in one fell swoop.

Thereafter, Long Yan and the others successively intercepted numerous tokens.

This was the strategy Long Yan had concocted—by conserving energy and not taking action, the three restful individuals naturally overwhelmed those who were already exhausted.

But just as Long Yan gathered enough tokens, a figure appeared before him.
