Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 483 - Become an Elder of the Sect
Hearing Li Song's sudden exclamation behind him, Lan Cheng's body trembled. Even so, he quickly turned around, looking towards Zhang En.
The eyes of the two meet. An invisible energy collided as their gazes met, releasing pressure in the hall, similar to a tightly stretched rope that would break at any moment.
Zhang En was the first to make a move, walking towards Lan Cheng.
Lan Cheng was shocked inwardly, but he also walked towards Zhang En's direction. Even before he reached Zhang En, a beaming smile appeared on his face as he spoke, This “Lan Cheng has long admired the great reputation of brother Zhang, and has long wanted to pay a visit to the Peak Gods. I didn't expect that we would meet each other here instead! ”
There was humility in his voice and expression of his smile.
By the time his long words of welcome ended, he stood in front of Zhang En. At the same time, a little bowed to Zhang En .
However, Zhang En showed an ordinary facial expression, walking past Lan Cheng as if he had not seen Lan Cheng.
Lan Cheng's body stiffened on the spot, his humble yet radiant smile frozen. The nerves on his face twitched as a grim expression replaced his smile.
Every pair of eyes in the hall stared at Lan Cheng, but no one let out a sound. A deadly silence filled the hall.
Lan Chent's hands clenched, his fingers bent on his palms. The flames of killing fury swirled in his eyes as killing intent surged violently.
Zhang En actually dared to ignore him in front of the crowd of elite disciples, daring to ignore the greeting from him.
His eyes turned red, however, given Zhang En's terrifying strength, Lan Cheng forced himself to hold back in the end
At this moment, Zhang En had reached the inner hall, stepping over the entrance threshold of the inner hall.
Watching Zhang En's disappearing figure, Lan Cheng's eyes flashed cold and sinister.
A few seconds later, Li Song approached Lan Cheng cautiously from behind, “Leader, Zhang En is too arrogant, but he won't be able to jump high for too long. Wait until Elder Wang Nio ascends the position, and at that time he will be discharged!”
Lan Xheng's cold gaze swept over Li Song at a glance, then onto the other disciples gathered in the hall. The surrounding disciples shifted a few steps, lowering their heads to avoid Lan Cheng's cold gaze sweeping towards them..
Without a word, Lan Cheng stepped out of the hall with a cold expression. Li Song also hurriedly followed behind him.
In an instant, their figures disappeared from the Peak of the Elder Hall.
As for Zhang En, after stepping into the inner hall, he headed straight for the stone room for the elder examination. Although it was called a stone room, in fact, it was more like a large box room and had a slightly spacious courtyard.
Inside, a tall thin old man was sitting in a meditative pose.
When Zhang En saw this old man, he felt completely amused. This tall and thin old man was the same person who came to his Divine Peak some time ago, demanding that he bring out the Celestial Pill formula as a contribution to the sect, Elder An Ji.
Hearing the sound of someone entering, An Ji opened his eyes, but when he saw Zhang En, his expression stiffened.
"Zhang En, what are you doing here ?!" An Ji jumped to his feet, half from feeling angry, half from fear.
Zhang En replied nonchalantly, “Isn't this the place for the elder examination? I came to verify my cultivation for the test. ”
An Ji was silent for a moment. This answer was the least he expected. When he regained his clear mind, a cunning light flashed in the depths of his eyes, sneering at Zhang En, “You want to become an Elder? Naturally, it's only if you can split this lump of iron ore. ” After he finished saying that, An Ji took out a piece of blackish iron ore that was very similar to charcoal.
This piece of iron ore was something he had discovered by chance, called Black Iron. It was an extremely hard piece of iron that could withstand the attack of its full strength while using his artifact, leaving only a faint sword mark. An Ji believed that even the early stage Two-star Ancestral God Realm masters were unable to split this black Iron.
It was impossible for an average One Star Ancestral God Realm cultivator to split it apart.
Zhang En's eyes narrowed as he looked at An Ji, a ferocious light flashed across his eyes. The verification process for the elder test does not have this rule. One only needed to unleash the aura of their One Star Ancestral God Realm to pass, this old man An Ji deliberately made things difficult.
A cold satisfied smile spread across An Ji's face watching Zhang En, “If you really can't split this Black Iron, then, then you return to where you came from and cultivate for a few hundred more years. Come back when you feel strong enough to split this Black Iron!”
Zhang En's patience was thinning rapidly, his voice turned cold, "I only need to split this Black Iron to be able to pass, right..?"
Zhang En's calm demeanor made An Ji raise his eyebrows doubtfully. After thinking for a while, he said solemnly, "Right, as long as you can split this Black Iron, you pass!"
Just as An Ji's voice finished, a golden light flashed from Zhang En's hand, revealing a golden fire long sword.
This golden fire long sword was formed from the god essence fire energy from his dantian. Without saying anything, Zhang En cut the Black Iron.
Beeppp!!! A loud crisp sound rang out in the air. The piece of Black Iron was not split apart but instead shattered into pieces.
An Ji stared foolishly at the dozens of pieces of black iron that were completely shattered.
He could not help but look at the long sword that lit up in Zhang En's hand.
Zhang En was not bothered by An Ji's reaction. As he pulled the golden fire long sword into his body, his indifferent voice sounded, "An Ji, take out the token and the elder's robe."
An Ji's old face expression became shaky. He actually did not want to, but he did not say anything as he took out a sign representing the position of the elder and the elder's robe.
Taking both items from An Ji, Zhang En pricked his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the elder's token. The token shone brightly as it touched the surface of the token, and a few breaths later, a drop of blood seeped into the token.
From this moment on, Zhang En was the elder of the Fire Spirit Sect.
In other words, Zhang En had entered the upper echelon circle of the Spirit Fire Sect, possessing a certain level of authority, not to mention the fact that his status had risen by several levels. Holding the status of a sect elder, he would receive high-level treatment wherever he went to all the surfaces of the world that existed within the Star Galaxy.
Right at the same time as his blood merged into the token, Zhang En acted.
Wushhh..!
PLUTAKKK..!!!
Before he could react, An Ji felt a throbbing pain on his right cheek. He was sent flying with a single slap from Zhang En.
Standing up, An Ji shouted at Zhang En, “Zhang En, how dare you fight an elder, I will ask the elders to discuss the matter again, you will definitely be punished this time! They will expel you from this Fire Spirit Sect!”
But, just as his last word came out of his mouth, Zhang En was already in front of him, landing another kick.
Bukkk.!!!
A sharp burst of pain came from An Ji's stomach. His entire body shot backwards, smashing into the wall and hurtling towards the ground.
“Against the elders? Looks like you've forgotten.I'm now an elder, just like you. As fellow elders, the thing we just did was exchange pointers with each other in cultivation.”
Zhang En scoffed in a cold voice, "Even if you had that old lady Wang Nio's backer who had a meeting a hundred times to punish me, you would still not be able to kick me out!"
Zhang En then jumped where An Ji was. Raising his legs, he stomped hard on An Ji's bottom.
PLOPP!!!
"You're just a bag of shameless old bones begging to be hit!"
BAMMMM!!! Zhang En added another loud kick at the end of his sentence.
"Aghhhhh!!!"
Right now, An Ji was between life and death.
His screams sounded continuously, and consecutively, and weak groans came from the stone room. The elite disciples who heard it outside felt goosebumps.
A few elite disciples who could not help the curiosity in their hearts slipped into the inner hall and stuck out their necks to peer into the stone room.
When they saw Zhang En's hammering feet repeatedly at the bottom of Elder An Ji, they all froze stiffly in place, subconsciously while covering their bottom with both of their hands.
After a while, when Zhang En finally felt that it was time to stop. Before he left, he threw a cold glance towards An Ji who was sprawled underground, “Don't ever let me see your face again, otherwise, I'll hit your bottom every time I see you!”
