The magma burst out of his fist and turned into the shape of a fist moving forward. The spear condensed with the killing intent, vibrated so much that it was disturbing magma and pushing it away.
The spear began to pass through it while the magma tried to engulf it and melt it. At this moment, Long Tian gritted his teeth. The magma was reaching him while his spear hadn’t pushed away all that magma.
He was worried that he would be buried inside the magma before his spear could pierce through it. But, he couldn’t be more wrong. He couldn’t sense the vibration after a few seconds.
And, the spear became lighter until it broke from the point where magma had touched it. Only the end of the spear remained in his hand.
But, the magma hadn’t stopped moving forward. Long Tian took a long breath and roared.
“Roar!”
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
The parts of magma fell everyone. Brian was no longer on the ground. That magma was so destructive that he had to fly away. The stage started melting and turned black.
Long Tian wasn’t satisfied. He used two attacks against someone whose realm was lower than him and not by one. It was three realms lower than him. It was being reminded in his mind again and again.
He opened his palm and raised his head. A strong killing intent burst out of his eyes and his true essence condensed into a spear as he stomped on the ground.
His body flew toward Brian with an insane speed but in the air, Brian wasn’t even making a move. He was just standing there.
Long Tian was filled in rage and didn’t understand his motives but the next moment, a powerful aura burst out of the sky and shot him.
Thud!
Long Tian flew down to the ground like a bullet and struck hard. He instantly lost consciousness. At this moment, Brian slowly bowed and put his fist and palm together.
“Greeting Saints!”
At this moment, four figures slowly descended in front of him. They all looked at him and nodded. They led him to the stage. Four of them were wearing a different color robes.
DragonElephant Sect Saint was wearing black attire. Heavenly Sword Sect Saint was wearing green attire. The saints from Wu Family were wearing purple dresses.
DragonElephant Sect Saint waved his hand and the stage beneath them changed. The black burned earth got buried and a new stage with proper white tiles appeared.
He looked at the crowd and slowly raised Brian’s hand.
“From now on, I am announcing Brian Jackson as the ninth commander for the Gathering of Four Lands. He is allowed to take one hundred disciples with him.”
'This chapter is updated by N(o)V(e)lB(i)n.',
“His task is to make it to the top 100 in one year. And, his legion must earn over one million Martial Points in a year. If he accomplishes this task, he will be rewarded with Two Immortal Grade Pills for cultivation and those hundreds who follow him will be rewarded with one Saint Grade Pill for each.”
“If anyone under him can win against him, they can also replace him for the position of the commander and if they succeed, they will receive the Immortal Grade Pill.”
“That being said, only disciples under Nascent Soul Realm are allowed to join his legion. If he and his legions fail this mission, they will be confined in the Forbidden Ground for a hundred years.”
Hearing his words, everyone was shocked. Nobody expected the saint to make Brian a new commander all of a sudden. Except for a few elders, many of the other elders were shocked as well.
The saint didn’t care about their expression. He looked at Brian and said “You have a week to choose hundred people. Within a week, if you can’t find a proper legion, you have to leave with what you have. Good luck!”
Saying so, the Saint disappeared. The purple-dressed saints looked at him and one of them spoke.
“If you succeed, I have a surprise for you.”
Two of them smiled and disappeared.
Heavenly Sword Sect Saint also spoke “If you meet the people from our sect, try not to fight them. Of course, I will inform the disciples of my sect the same thing.”
Saying so, he also disappeared.
Brian wasn’t in shock but he was still stunned by the reward.
Immortal Grade pill wasn’t a trivial matter. If he could get that, he would be able to reach Lord Realm or even Saint Realm with ease if he has already reached closer to that realm.
“Do you think you can do it?” Cao Ping suddenly appeared next to him and asked.
Brian slowly raised his head and smiled.
“Hell yeah!”
He then looked at the crowd and shouted.
“All of you should have heard the Saint. I will be the commander of the Ninth Legion and I would like to invite you to join me. I promise not to treat anyone impartially and those who truly make efforts will be rewarded.”
“The punishments are heavy but I believe I can accomplish it. So, if you want to join me, stay. If you don’t want to join me, leave!”
Hearing his words, many disciples looked at each other, not knowing what to choose.
Between those disciples, there was a certain disciple. He clenched his fist and his heartbeat soared.
‘I must join. I must join. No matter what, this is my chance. I don’t know whether I will get chosen or not but this is my chance.’
He closed his eyes and stood straight in the crowd.
'',
After a while, he opened his eyes and saw the crowd getting nearly halved. There were still around four hundred disciples but they were still a lot fewer compared to the previous scene.
Looking at the crowd of four hundred disciples, Brian nodded his head with satisfaction.
“That’s right. You shouldn’t be afraid of consequences if you want to improve. I really don’t care if your strength is low or high. Once you join my legion, I will strictly train you to make you stronger.”
“Of course, that is if you can pass my test.”
Saying so, he glanced at his master and asked “Master, do you have four hundred papers?”
“I have.” Suddenly, one of the elders raised his hand and walked toward him.
“I don’t have.” Cao Ping shook her head and she was glad that this elder came forward to help him.
“Disciple Brian, my name is Ying Mo. I am the Elder of Talisman Faction. I hope you will visit us and share your ideas in the future.” Ying Mo introduced himself while taking out four hundred yellow papers and four hundred pens.
“These are talisman paper and pen. Are you sure you want to give these away?” Cao Ping was shocked when she saw those papers.
Brian was also startled by those talisman papers.
“Of course, I want to. Disciple Brian has some brilliant views on this world. I might be older than him but it doesn’t make me all more knowledgeable than him. So, it would be good to talk and learn something new.” Ying Mo smiled and looked at Brian with the intention to invite him.
Brian understood his intention and decided to give him some advice.
“Elder, I am not the expert at talisman so I can’t help you with that. But, there are several talismans that I want to have but none are available.”
“Such as Spatial Talisman, a talisman that works like a spatial ring but can be destroyed during your death. It won’t have many uses but I believe it would be a good substitute for those who enter the Gathering of Four Lands or the Borders.”
Hearing his words, Ying Mo was stunned. He knew Brian was brilliant but he didn’t expect Brian to give him such an idea in an instant. Although it sounded like a talisman created for a few people, it actually could have more demand than the normal Void Ring.
Because, unlike Void Ring, it would be extremely cheap.
Slowly, he smiled “I knew these papers won’t go to waste. Thank you for your idea. I have actually never thought of that. But, I wonder what do you plan to do with these papers?”
“I am glad that I was of help.” Brian smiled and looked at the other elders “Elders, would you help me distribute these papers and pens to each disciple here? And, everyone please sit down!”
Hearing his words, the elders were a bit confused but still nodded. They didn’t mind helping a disciple like Brian. In less than a week, Brian had already won the heart of all these elders.
After those papers were distributed, Brian looked at the sitting crowd and said.
“My test is not about strength. It’s about your mentality. I will use my true essence to write two questions. You have two minutes to answer them. The answer is only one word but you need to decide in an instant.”
“If you take even a second more than two minutes, you will fail. So, let’s start, shall we?”
