Chapter 119: “calling For Backup” Is Also A Kind Of Strength!
Outside the Secret Realm, two figures suddenly appeared.
Chen Jing’s face was pale, standing stiffly in place.
Behind her was her Guardian, who was also eliminated together.
“He… how dare he?”
Chen Jing’s voice was trembling.
It was unclear whether it was from fear or anger.
Meanwhile, the Guardian touched his neck, still feeling lingering fear.
That saber strike just now was too fast.
So fast that he clearly knew there was danger, yet he couldn’t block it.
Fortunately, it was in the Secret Realm, where one would be instantly teleported upon life-threatening danger.
If it were outside, he would have been beheaded with one saber strike.
“Astonishing Swan Saber, indeed lives up to its reputation…”
“Miss Chen Jing, a person like Mister Ji says what he means and means what he says. You should make plans early.”
The Guardian shook his head.
Although Chen Jing was a direct descendant of the Chen Family and had awakened her Bloodline.
Her Bloodline grade wasn’t high either.
Against Ji Qing, it was simply not enough.
Moreover, now that Chen Jing had been eliminated, her Bloodline couldn’t improve, so she would become a marginal figure within the Chen Family in the future.
She could only wait for a Marriage Alliance, or have someone marry into the family to bear heirs for the Chen Family.
At this moment, inside the Secret Realm, in front of the First Divine Hall.
Everyone had quieted down.
Ji Qing showed no mercy, sending Chen Jing and her Guardian away with one saber strike, making everyone’s hearts shudder.
Logically speaking, Ji Qing was Chen Lin’s Guardian and had some connection to the Chen Family.
Yet, he showed no mercy to the Chen Family’s Demon Slayer.
This ruthlessness sobered everyone up instantly.
No one dared to cross the line drawn by Ji Qing anymore.
Ji Qing then closed his eyes again.
As for what the Chen Family’s Demon Slayers thought, he didn’t care.
He was invited by Chen Lin, so he would naturally only protect Chen Lin.
What did the other Chen Family members have to do with him?
With Ji Qing’s one saber strike, everyone became obedient.
Who would dare say more?
Even those First-rate Experts had grave expressions.
Ji Qing hadn’t even used Saber Momentum just now.
It was well known that Ji Qing of the Astonishing Swan Saber had achieved Saber Momentum Major Accomplishment!
Without even using Saber Momentum, that saber strike already made many First-Rank Martial Artists feel they couldn’t block it.
Naturally, they could only wait obediently.
After about the time of one incense stick, the Great Door of the First Divine Hall opened.
Chen Lin walked out of the Divine Hall with a pale face and dazed eyes.
Ji Qing opened his eyes and glanced at Chen Lin, immediately knowing that she had failed.
“No matter, there are still eight Divine Halls left. Choose another.”
Ji Qing said indifferently.
Chen Lin nodded slightly. Her Comprehension wasn’t enough, so she hadn’t obtained the Ancestral Inheritance of the First Divine Hall.
Thus, she selected among the remaining eight Divine Halls.
“Third Brother, this time I’ll choose the Second Divine Hall. This Divine Hall only requires sufficient Luck to obtain the Ancestral Inheritance! Back then, my brother chose the Second Divine Hall and was extremely lucky, obtaining the Ancestral Inheritance.”
Chen Lin gritted her teeth and made her choice.
“Chen Luo obtained the Ancestral Inheritance by Luck?”
Ji Qing was somewhat surprised.
No wonder when Ji Qing asked Chen Luo how he obtained the Ancestral Inheritance, Chen Luo hemmed and hawed and refused to say.
It turned out it was by Luck.
However, sometimes Luck is very important.
“Good, then let’s go to the Second Divine Hall and try our Luck.”
Ji Qing brought Chen Lin to the front of the Second Divine Hall.
Originally, there were people contending for the Second Divine Hall as well.
But upon seeing Ji Qing arrive, these people immediately retreated.
“Mister Ji, please go ahead!”
Ji Qing had just demonstrated his divine might in front of the First Divine Hall, and almost everyone had seen it.
No one dared to contend with Ji Qing.
Thus, Chen Lin smoothly reached the front of the Second Divine Hall.
However, there was a huge die at the entrance of the Second Divine Hall.
Chen Lin had to first choose big or small, then press the mechanism at the entrance.
The die would then spin.
If the chosen big or small matched the actual result, she could enter the Second Divine Hall.
This Second Divine Hall emphasized “Luck”.
Even entering the Divine Hall required Luck.
Chen Lin took a deep breath and immediately chose “big”, then pressed the mechanism.
The die began to spin.
In the end, the die showed three.
This meant Chen Lin could not enter the Great Door of the Second Divine Hall.
“What? I can’t even enter the Divine Hall door…”
Chen Lin was full of disappointment.
“Wait, who says the die can only be rolled once? Fourth Sister, continue.”
Ji Qing suddenly spoke.
“Uh…”
Chen Lin looked back.
Behind her were densely packed Demon Slayers anxiously waiting.
But not a single one dared to step forward.
Thus, Chen Lin pressed the mechanism again, choosing “big” once more.
The result was two, a failure again.
“Continue.”
This time Chen Lin chose small, but the die showed “six”, still a failure.
Fourth time, fifth time, sixth time…
Chen Lin failed again and again, every time.
After more than a dozen times in a row, Chen Lin still couldn’t enter the Great Door.
Her Luck was terribly bad.
She looked back again.
The Demon Slayers behind her were all looking at her with utmost “resentment”.
But what could they say?
They didn’t dare say anything!
“Luck? Entering the Divine Hall door doesn’t require Luck, only Strength! Fourth Sister, continue!”
Ji Qing said indifferently.
Since the entry die had no limit on attempts, it wasn’t a matter of Luck.
As for those people who had been waiting a long time??
Then they could keep waiting!
Chen Lin no longer hesitated, and on the twenty-third try, she finally succeeded!
The Great Door of the Second Divine Hall slowly opened, and Chen Lin walked in.
However, Ji Qing didn’t hold much hope.
Chen Lin’s Luck couldn’t be considered good.
If she failed this time too, then next time they really needed to think carefully about which Divine Hall to choose.
Ji Qing wasn’t afraid.
They could try all nine Divine Halls if needed.
But if there were too many failures, Chen Lin might lose confidence.
Ji Qing’s gaze turned to the Ninth Divine Hall.
This Divine Hall was somewhat special.
There were almost no Demon Slayers at the entrance.
“Does anyone know what the condition for the Ninth Divine Hall is?”
Ji Qing suddenly asked.
“Mister Ji, the condition for the Ninth Divine Hall is very simple: pass three trials by Strength.”
“First trial, Mind trial. As long as Mental Will is strong, it can be passed.”
“Second trial, Demon trial. As long as Demons can be slain, it can be passed.”
“Third trial, Strength trial. Defeat the strongest person in history who passed the Ninth Divine Hall to obtain the Ancestral Inheritance.”
“All three trials of the Ninth Divine Hall allow the Guardian to accompany the Demon Slayer.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
Allowing the Guardian to accompany the Demon Slayer?
Doesn’t that mean it depends on the Guardian’s Strength?
It seemed this Ninth Divine Hall actually tested the Guardian.
Being able to invite a Guardian meant a close relationship with the Demon Slayer.
Sometimes, “calling in reinforcements” is also a demonstration of Strength!
Ji Qing already had a decision in mind.
If Chen Lin still hadn’t succeeded, they would go to the Ninth Divine Hall.
He would act to ensure Chen Lin obtained the Ancestral Inheritance without fail!
As for failure?
Ji Qing had absolute confidence that as long as there was no Grandmaster-level Expert, he wouldn’t lose!
Finally, the Great Door of the Second Divine Hall opened.
Ji Qing looked at Chen Lin’s expression.
As expected, dejected, with a look of utter defeat.
Most likely failed again.
However, this was a good thing!
“Third Brother, I… am I unable to obtain the Ancestral Inheritance?”
Chen Lin said with a trembling voice.
Two failures had dealt her a heavy blow.
“Relying on you alone, you probably can’t obtain the Inheritance.”
“Uh…”
“But this time, I’ll go with you, so there won’t be a problem!”
Chen Lin suddenly raised her head, looking at Ji Qing.
“Third Brother, you’ll go with me?”
Chen Lin was very surprised.
If Ji Qing could really accompany her…
Then it was definitely a sure thing!
