Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 266 - 275: Is the Prime Minister’s Son So Impressive?

Early the next morning, Wei Qun knocked on Chu Lin’s door, "Brother Long, it’s time to set off. You’re not still absorbing Star Power, are you?"

Although Chu Lin was not absorbing Star Power at that moment, he was rehearsing the Fifth Form of the Demon-Breaking Fist in his mind. He felt that after integrating a trace of Bloodline Power into the Earth Star Pill, his Chaos Qi had become even stronger.

With the current Chaos Qi within the Earth Star Pill, executing the Fifth Form of the Demon-Breaking Fist would probably consume only about half, allowing him to perform it twice. Perhaps he then had a chance to enter the top hundred.

In his mind, the first five forms were thoroughly practiced, but the only thing missing was actual execution. Chu Linfeng knew that only by genuinely using the Chaos Qi for execution could he identify any issues.

Upon hearing Wei Qun’s voice, Chu Linfeng smiled and thought, "This kid sure is anxious, it’s just a trial test, no big deal. With his Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm strength, he can certainly pass."

"Come in!" Chu Linfeng then said, truly treating Wei Qun like a brother.

After entering the room and seeing Chu Linfeng still sitting on the bed, Wei Qun asked, "Brother Long, are you really absorbing Star Power? Didn’t mean to disturb you!"

"No, are you losing confidence? I’m very optimistic about you!" Chu Linfeng said and immediately got out of bed.

"I have confidence, but I’m a bit scared. If I can’t pass, how would I stick around with you?" Wei Qun laughed.

"Let’s go. As long as you give it your all, you’ll pass! Let’s see just how hard this so-called second trial really is." After speaking, the two left the room.

Outside, they saw many people had already come out, seemingly wanting to see what the second trial was like, giving themselves peace of mind.

Walking down the road, Chu Linfeng naturally became the focus of everyone’s attention. Everyone was curious about how such a young boy could take first place in the first trial and many wondered about his performance in the second.

"Brother Long, you’ve now become the subject of everyone’s discussions. Many are guessing whether you’ll make it into the top three in this second trial," Wei Qun said with a smile.

"The task of getting into the top three is too heavy. You know how capable I am. Just making it into the top hundred would already be good; I can ignore these gossipers." Chu Linfeng said with a bitter smile.

Soon they arrived at the checkpoint where the big bell was placed. Thousands had gathered, with many standing in front of the bell watching.

A few people were performing Martial Skill attacks on the bell, and the sound of the bell spreading through the training ground stirred excitement among the crowd.

Chu Linfeng and Wei Qun stood afar watching those striking the bell. Wei Qun remarked, "Doesn’t look too difficult, a casual strike seems to make it clang. This trial shouldn’t eliminate too many people."

"You’re being too naive; the key is the length of the bell’s sound. Haven’t you noticed that the longest sound among these people only lasts three seconds before fading? If the result is like this, I’m sure they’ll be eliminated," Chu Linfeng said confidently.

"Well said! Didn’t expect you to have such insight, though I wonder if you’ll take first again this time?" A cocky voice suddenly reached Chu Linfeng and Wei Qun’s ears.

Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw two young men approaching, one being the teenager named Ying Tianchou.

Chu Linfeng had no good impression of this boy, knowing from his glaring eyes that he bore intense hatred; Chu Linfeng had snatched the glory he believed he deserved in the first trial, embarrassing him greatly.

Yet, even now it was unclear why, being the son of the current Prime Minister, he’d want to participate in the Royal Guard selection—is he just idle, or is there some unspeakable secret behind it?

Recently, there have been rumors about the Prime Minister’s actions within the Royal Family; his standing in the court is one step below the Emperor, wielding great power, even the current Emperor fears him somewhat.

Though the Royal Guard holds no official rank, they may freely enter and exit the Imperial Palace. If he harbors sinister intentions, it might lead to major upheavals within the Celestial Dragon Country.

The two approached Chu Linfeng, with Ying Tianchou sneering, "Didn’t expect you’d swipe away my first place, quite impressive! Wonder if you dare bet with me?"

Chu Linfeng looked at Ying Tianchou, handsome yet exuding an arrogant and fierce gaze suggesting a petty personality.

"Not interested, plus I don’t know you, why bet with you?" Chu Linfeng replied coldly, even if you’re the Prime Minister’s son, so what, I’m not afraid.

"Do you know who you’re talking to, boy? You must not want to stay in the Imperial City, believe the moment this trial ends, you’ll meet your doom," Ying Tianchou’s companion said boastfully.

"What does it matter who I’m talking to, a lackey like you dares to scream at me; there are many who want my life, though I don’t understand why you’d do so for no reason, because I beat him?" Chu Linfeng replied fearlessly, staring straight at the opponent.

"Good! I admire your courage! Heard you haven’t broken through to the Celestial Martial Realm yet, that surprises me most; I just want to see if you can get top three this time, otherwise when it ends, it’ll be your demise," Ying Tianchou said expressionlessly.

"Don’t scare me, I’m born timid! Who are you to dictate my rank, it’s your business what you do, and mine whether I make top hundred." Chu Linfeng said.

A ruthless gleam flickered across Ying Tianchou’s face as he looked at Chu Linfeng and chuckled, "No one dares to speak to me like this in the Imperial City, you’re the first; but I’ll tell you, anyone who opposes me meets a bad end."

"Thanks for the warning, but I’ll survive any demise, I’m curious which bastard wants my life this time." Chu Linfeng said and ignored the person, heading towards the bell.

After Chu Linfeng left, the boy said, "Young Master Ying, this kid’s too arrogant, even if you don’t send someone after him, I will; can’t believe he doesn’t know whose territory this is in the Imperial City, acting so recklessly."

"If he can be of use to me, then let him be. If he can’t, naturally he’ll vanish from this world," Ying Tianchou stated.

Wei Qun quickly followed and cautiously asked, "Brother Long, why provoke the Imperial City’s number one demon, he’s truly capable of doing what he said, countless have died at his hands."

"I know, but I can’t stand someone being overbearing; wanting my life isn’t that easy, just wait and see," Chu Linfeng said rather calmly.

More people gathered at the training ground, suggesting everyone would be here to watch the first group’s trial today.

At that moment, dozens of Royal Guards appeared before the crowd, signaling to Chu Linfeng that today’s trial was about to begin...
