Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 237: Entering the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land!

The youth’s name was Wei Lin, and he was ranked second among the many disciples of Guiyuan Academy. As the academy’s Second Senior Disciple, he held a pivotal status. The strength he displayed among the younger generation was particularly astonishing, as he had already reached the War King Realm Third Level at such a young age. One could say that Wei Lin was the future of Guiyuan Academy. Even the Eldest Senior Disciple, Dong Xuan, who was also at the War King Realm Third Level, could not compare to Wei Lin in terms of overall combat power.

Dong Xuan said to Wei Lin, "Second Junior Brother, since he received our Senior Martial Uncle’s approval, he must have some exceptional qualities. There’s no need to make things so tense, don’t you agree?"

Although Dong Xuan’s overall strength was not as great as Wei Lin’s, his personality was more refined and gentle compared to Wei Lin’s arrogance. Within Guiyuan Academy, his conduct was much more popular.

"Eldest Senior Brother, we still need to be careful with someone of unknown origin like him."

Seeing Long Chen remain silent, Wei Lin pressed on aggressively, "What, cat got your tongue? Putting on a brave front, were you? Now that I’ve exposed you for the fraud you are, you don’t dare say a word?"

Long Chen frowned slightly and stared coldly at Wei Lin. "I don’t believe I’ve offended you. Why are you so hostile toward me?"

"I’m only targeting the action, not the person," Wei Lin said coolly. "But someone as arrogant and ignorant as you, with an unknown background, shouldn’t be here causing trouble for us! You should hurry up and..."

Before Wei Lin could finish, Fu Qing waved his hand, interrupting him. "Wei Lin, that’s enough! Since he was entrusted to us by my Senior Brother, he must be someone extraordinary."

Seeing Fu Qing actually speak up for Long Chen made Wei Lin even more resentful.

"Dean!"

"Hmm?" Fu Qing glanced indifferently at Wei Lin. "Are you questioning my words?"

Under Fu Qing’s sharp tone, Wei Lin could only swallow his anger, replying reluctantly, "I wouldn’t dare..."

Fu Qing continued, "One more thing. Since the Grandmaster has already passed his token into his hands, by seniority, he should actually be considered your Martial Uncle!"

"..."

Long Chen was completely stunned. He never imagined the token Feng Ziyuan gave him would carry such significant authority within Guiyuan Academy! Feng Ziyuan hadn’t mentioned a single word about this!

Upon hearing this title, Wei Lin’s face turned green with rage. He had to call this guy Martial Uncle? That would be more agonizing than death itself!

「Meanwhile.」

In another part of the area, a man was intently watching Long Chen. After a moment, he spoke to a man beside him who radiated a sinister aura, "Senior Brother, look over there. Isn’t that the fellow we ran into yesterday?"

Hearing this, Qian Kun looked in the direction the man indicated. The moment he saw Long Chen, Qian Kun’s eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn’t paid much attention earlier when Long Chen was the center of attention, but now, taking a closer look, he realized that the young man’s build was remarkably similar to the person who had secretly stolen the Jinyin Tiger’s inner core the previous night! Could it be that this kid was really behind last night’s incident?

It wasn’t just Qian Kun who was suspicious; Lu Hao was also narrowing his eyes at Long Chen. After all, the incident had only just happened the night before, so the figure was still fresh in their minds. However, the person last night had been masked. Moreover, Long Chen was wearing different clothes. Without absolute confirmation, they dared not definitively conclude that Long Chen was responsible.

With his keen senses, Long Chen also felt two powerful waves of killing intent focused on him. His expression grew solemn. He turned his head, and after a quick glance, his gaze instantly locked onto Qian Kun and Lu Hao. But just as quickly, Long Chen withdrew his gaze, looking calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

His eyes narrowed slightly. They were both watching him. Could it be that they had already recognized him from the night before?

However, Long Chen reined in his thoughts, deciding not to dwell on it. If he really had been discovered, there was nothing to be done. He would just have to wait and see how things unfolded.

Fu Qing sighed softly, then addressed the disciples of Guiyuan Academy with a heavy heart. "This trip to the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land is extremely important for our Guiyuan Academy."

Long Chen remained silent, listening quietly to Fu Qing. He knew nothing about Guiyuan Academy. If not for the fact that Feng Ziyuan had a way to heal Chu Lingjun, he probably would never have gotten involved with this place.

Fu Qing continued, "Within the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land, there are many unknown opportunities. Years ago, a disciple from the Heavenly Water Sect stumbled upon a great fortune here, allowing his cultivation to break through repeatedly in just a few years and lead the Heavenly Water Sect to new heights. If you can seize a great opportunity, obtain some kind of cultivation technique, or find anything at all that can increase the overall strength of our Guiyuan Academy, you must do everything in your power to fight for it. Do you understand?"

At these words, Wei Lin was the first to answer with confidence, "Don’t worry, Dean! As long as I’m here, there will be no mishaps! The future of Guiyuan Academy rests on my shoulders! I will become the most outstanding genius disciple in the history of Guiyuan Academy!"

Fu Qing nodded slightly, but his gaze fell upon Long Chen.

Long Chen also stated his position, "I will do my best."

"Good." Fu Qing acknowledged him without saying more. He appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was just as curious. What kind of abilities could this Long Chen possess that would move his Senior Brother to give him the token?

Just then, the void began to warp. A spatial passage materialized, forming a massive vortex.

"The Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land is open!"

"I must seize the opportunities inside!"

"Don’t even think about competing with me!"

The moment the entrance to the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land appeared, the scene descended into chaos. Everyone’s eyes burned with fervent desire, hoping to obtain a major opportunity and change their destiny. The members of the various factions present rushed toward the entrance without a moment’s hesitation.

"Go," Fu Qing said calmly.

Wei Lin and the others nodded and immediately departed.

Long Chen’s gaze was resolute. Spirit Monarch, I will definitely find the Restoring Tendon Grass and bring it back to cure you!

Fu Qing watched Long Chen enter the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land, lost in thought. He knew very well that Feng Ziyuan had extremely high standards; most people wouldn’t even catch his eye. For Feng Ziyuan to not only give Long Chen the token but also send him to participate in the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land... he must be hoping to use this opportunity to resolve Guiyuan Academy’s current crisis!

He muttered to himself, "Senior Brother, I hope the person you’ve chosen won’t disappoint me."
