Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 97 Promotion Requirements!

With that, Chu Lingjun left the Life and Death Platform with Long Xin. Long Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.

Chen Yao immediately said, "You don’t have to worry too much. As long as I, Chen Yao, am here, the people from the Earth Institute won’t get away with being so arrogant! Let’s head back first and properly recuperate."

After returning to the Deacon House, Long Chen sat cross-legged and began to regulate his internal state. This battle had consumed too much of his battle qi, nearly draining him completely. Only by getting his energy back in order could he return to his peak condition.

「In the blink of an eye, two days passed.」

He opened his eyes and stretched his limbs. Xia Duoduo’s voice sounded, "Young master, I didn’t expect that after this battle, the battle qi in your body would become far more substantial than before."

"That’s right," Long Chen said. "Last time in the Training Room, I was too hasty in advancing my realm. This battle, however, has helped it settle and solidify. It’s just a pity that I still couldn’t kill Su Miaoyu."

Xia Duoduo spoke up, "Young master, you revealed your strength in front of everyone yesterday. Although people assumed it was merely the effect of an Elixir Pill, it still served as a powerful deterrent. Given Su Miaoyu’s personality, she will definitely be on guard against you now and is unlikely to venture out. To kill her, it seems you’ll need to become a First-class Disciple as soon as possible."

Long Chen nodded slightly at Xia Duoduo’s words. "With my current realm, I’m already qualified to be a Second-class Disciple. Becoming a First-class Disciple will still take some time." After all, the disciple rankings within the Martial Ancestor Sect were based on one’s realm, not combat power.

"With your talent, young master, as long as you continue to cultivate, it won’t be long before you can step into the War Ancestor Realm and become a First-class Disciple," Xia Duoduo said confidently. "By then, if you challenge Su Miaoyu to another life-and-death battle, she will no longer be able to refuse."

Long Chen got up and went to find Chen Yao to ask about becoming a Second-class Disciple. Arriving at her room, he knocked on the door. "Steward Chen, it’s me."

No sooner had he spoken than the door opened. Upon seeing him, Chen Yao immediately asked, "Long Chen, have you fully recovered?"

"Yes," Long Chen nodded.

"Sister Yao, who is it?" A voice came from inside as Tuoba Jiao walked over.

The moment she saw Long Chen, however, she froze. Damn it, why did I have to run into him here? she cursed inwardly.

Long Chen gave her a playful smile, which only irritated Tuoba Jiao further.

"Brother Long." At that moment, Tang Le’s voice came from behind. "I’ve brought the Earth Martial Pearls we won last time."

As he spoke, Tang Le took out a large bag of Earth Martial Pearls from his Space Ring. "A small portion was distributed to the disciples of the Bing Institute, and I also kept some for myself. The rest are all yours."

Long Chen nodded and stored the Earth Martial Pearls in his Space Ring. At least with these on hand, he could use them whenever he needed to in the future.

Chen Yao looked at Tang Le and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Steward Chen, I’ve now entered the War Maniac Realm and have the qualifications to become a Second-class Disciple, so I came to apply," Tang Le replied.

"You’ve entered the War Maniac Realm?" Chen Yao looked at Tang Le with some surprise.

"Yes." Tang Le nodded, took a few steps back, and his battle qi erupted from his body.

After confirming his realm, a flash of astonishment crossed Chen Yao’s eyes. "You’ve been in the Bing Institute for many years, you fatty. I never thought you’d actually get the chance to be promoted to the Second House."

"It’s always good for a person to be ambitious and strive for more," Tang Le said with a chuckle, then looked at Long Chen. "I’m nothing like Brother Long, though. He’s eligible for promotion to the Second House after only being in the Martial Ancestor Sect for half a month."

"As it happens, I also came to see Steward Chen about being promoted to the Second House," Long Chen said.

Chen Yao looked at both of them. "Although your realms have reached the level of a Second-class Disciple, that’s only the first step."

Long Chen pondered, "What do you mean?"

"Brother Long, reaching the War Maniac Realm isn’t enough to be promoted directly to the Second House," Tang Le explained. "You still have to pass the Sect’s assessment. Only after passing it can we become Second-class Disciples."

"I see," Long Chen said, finally understanding. He then asked, "What does this assessment entail?"
