Chapter 951 Fifth trial: Test of Talent! (3)
The surrounding Dao Kings, including Xu Tai, all turned to look at Shun Long as they waited for his answer.
The atmosphere within the great hall was silent. So silent that one could hear the breathing of the person next to them, as everyone eagerly gazed at the sitting, blue-robed youth a few meters away from the silver door. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Was he really going to attempt the fifth trial?
Normally, these Dao Kings wouldn't have been so interested in something as trivial as an unknown person like Shun Long attempting the fifth floor. After all, every one of these Dao Kings was also a genius in the outside world, well known figures with powerful backgrounds that were renowned throughout the entire central continent.
However, if Shun Long could also pass this trial like Xu Tai predicted, wouldn't he then join the ranks of Huang Yun and the others?
Such a person was bound to become famous throughout the central continent whether he wanted to or not.
''An early rank 1 Dao Emperor, huh?'' Standing up, a small smile found its way on Shun Long's lips as he looked at Xing Fei and nodded his head, and under the astonished gazes of the Dao Kings around him, he made his way towards the illusionary silver door.
''Great!'' Xing Fei smiled as well, and after a brief moment of pondering, the silver-haired man turned to Xu Tai and repeated the same question
''How about it, Xu Tai? Why don't you give it a shot as well? I'm not sure about the others, but your chances at least, are as good as mine if not better.''
This lake wasn't overly remarkable nor did it have any particularly unique qualities other than its crystal blue waters. Instead, it was the person sitting by the shore of this lake that attracted Shun Long's attention.
Sitting cross-legged at the edge of the lake, was a devilishly handsome young man clad in luxurious purple robes. His long black hair was combed neatly, accentuating the sharp facial features in his already handsome face even further. Surprisingly, the gigantic azure blade strapped on his back didn't seem to contrast his refined, delicate appearance but somehow complemented it even more, adding an aura of subdued savagery to his peaceful frame.
Almost at the same time that Shun Long's gaze fell on him, the devilishly handsome young man snapped his eyes open, before his calm, brown irises focused on the azure-robed youth that was looking at him.
In the next moment, Shun Long saw the purple-robed youth standing up and unsheath his azure blade, their gazes clashing against each other, before a monstrous, overbearing aura burst out from his body.
...It was the aura of an early rank 1 Dao Emperor!
At this point, Shun Long had to admit that this purple-robed man was indeed powerful and was most likely going to prove a difficult opponent to beat. After all, not only was he the first Dao Emperor Shun Long was fighting against, but just from his aura, Shun Long could tell that even among other Dao Emperors, this person definitely wasn't weak.
At the very least, his foundations in the Dao King realm had been tempered to the brim, allowing the purple-robed youth to bring out his full potential.
Even among the millions of Dao Kings who had entered the 'City of Immortals', this person would be considered a peak existence!
And yet, almost as if mirroring the devilish youth's movements, a pitch-black sword materialized in Shun Long's hands as he suddenly took a step forward. Almost simultaneously, the aura of a peak rank 8 Dao King burst out from his body, as he shot forward like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the purple-robed man in the distance.
Indeed, unlike Xing Fei and the rest of the Dao Kings on the fourth floor, Shun Long's goal wasn't to hide and avoid the purple-robed youth until the 1-hour period ran out! Instead, he was planning to fight against one of the most talented Dao Emperors from the 'Imperial Mandate sect' head-on! Or at least... his soul imprint.
