Chapter 552: Heavenly Abhorrence Technique

As time ticked by, the four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could no longer withstand the assault of emotions on their Dao hearts and each of them hastily removed the paper garments. Their faces were deathly pale, and they seemed to have aged even more.

After witnessing that, the disciples and followers of the four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators look toward Fang Chen. Why were their ancestors unable to endure it, yet this Foundation Building Realm cultivator seemed completely unaffected?

By now, the only person still wearing the paper garment was Fang Chen.

The white paper figure looked toward Fang Chen and smiled lightly. "It seems that only he has the greatest chance of obtaining Master’s Skin Peeling Technique."

Upon hearing that, the crowd's expressions turned even more peculiar. It was highly likely that the technique of the master of Immortal Tomb would fall into the hands of a Foundation Building Realm cultivator.

Glancing at the other three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator chuckled self-mockingly. "Hehe... It seems the rest of us don't have such an immortal fate."

The old woman frowned as she gazed at Fang Chen. Her eyes flickered with uncertainty as she remained silent.

Chai Shun suddenly realized something and grew worried. "Oh no, if Senior Dongfang obtains this inheritance, won't those four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators pursue him after we leave the Immortal Tomb?"

If it was just a matter of them getting a small piece of the pie while others took the lion's share, it would be bearable. However, if the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators got nothing and a large piece went to someone else instead, they would definitely not let him off easily!

Thinking of that, Chai Shun was unsure whether to hope for Fang Chen to obtain this immortal fate or not.

The black paper figure who had remained silent all this while suddenly spoke coldly. "It seems like an hour has passed."

"An hour? Time sure flies," remarked the white paper figure who nodded approvingly at Fang Chen. "He has already met master’s expectations by enduring for an hour."

The crowd exchanged looks before they looked at Fang Chen uniformly. Since both of them had spoken, it was evident that the Skin Peeling technique would be passed down to him.

Is it time?

Fang Chen casually removed the paper garment from his body and looked at the white paper figure. The crowd saw his gray-white pupils and it was only then that they realized he was disabled and suffered from an eye ailment.

The white paper figure smiled broadly and along with the black paper figure, they stood before Fang Chen.

The two paper figures placed their hands on Fang Chen's head. The white paper figure said, "Young friend, stay still."

Fang Chen did not move, but he was prepared to eliminate these paper figures without hesitation if anything went wrong.

The crowd looked disappointed. It seemed that taking a small piece of the pie today was out of the question. Their only chance at obtaining anything was by taking an entire pie.

With two more techniques to inherit, obtaining them would also be a form of immortal fate.

The four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators exchanged looks before signaling the crowd to proceed to the back hall.

Along the way, the ancestor of the Chai Family and Chi Chong rushed to congratulate Fang Chen while many Golden Core Realm and Foundation Building Realm cultivators tried to get close to him. They were hoping to glean some information about the Skin Peeling Technique from him.

“Young brother, since the master of this place left this technique, it must serve a purpose, right? I wonder what the real use of this technique is?” a Golden Core Realm cultivator asked Fang Chen.

The crowd stirred. The Golden Core Realm cultivator was a disciple of the old woman and his words naturally represented her.

"Just another offensive technique to inflict more suffering on people," Fang Chen replied lightly.

Many people looked skeptical.

An ordinary attacking method? Since the master of this place placed such a technique in the first round, could he have been a ruthless killer in his lifetime?

The Golden Core Realm cultivator did not press further. He seemingly believed Fang Chen's words and returned to the old woman's side. The old woman scanned Fang Chen and asked, "Are you willing to become my disciple?"

The other three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who were deep in thought immediately reacted to her words. They stopped in their tracks and fawned over Fang Chen. "I was planning to take in a closed-door disciple. You can become my disciple."

"Don't listen to them. It's best to become my disciple. I only have three disciples. With your addition, there will only be four. They have more than ten disciples each. They don't have enough resources for you."

"Young friend, I have a great-grandniece around your age. Perhaps you two can become Dao companions."

Everyone understood that the four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were trying to entice Fang Chen to their side to obtain the Skin Peeling Technique. However, agreeing to one would mean offending the other three. People were curious how Fang Chen would handle this.

Fang Chen rejected them with a smile. "I appreciate your kindness, but I already have an inheritance."

He didn't choose any of them.

Many people looked puzzled.

Wasn't this the worst way to respond? Wasn't he afraid that these four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would suppress him after they left the Immortal Tomb?
