Protect Our Clan Leader - Chapter 192:

Chapter 192: Chapter 7: Great Opportunity! The Legacy of the Wang Family’s Old Ancestor_2

As everyone entered the ruins, a voice that sounded sweet yet mechanical rang out from nowhere.

A recruitment point for the Divine Martial Army?

Wang Shouzhe was slightly taken aback. This was not quite what the Old Ancestor had described.

All eyes focused on Longyan, the Old Ancestor. She was the only one who had been here before, so naturally, they were all waiting for her to act.

“Hello, Artifact Spirit, my name is Wang Longyan.” Old Ancestor Longyan took out a black token.

“Hello, Elite Militia Wang Longyan. There are no Merit Points detected in your Militia Token. Please continue to strive and contribute to the Divine Martial Dynasty.”

Elite Militia Wang Longyan.

All eyes once again focused on Old Ancestor Longyan. Our prestigious Old Ancestor Longyan was mistaken by the Artifact Spirit for an elite militia.

Old Ancestor Longyan felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Is this not the same as the selection of disciples for the Divine Martial Army as you said, Cousin Longyan?” Old Ancestor Xuanfu asked, slightly puzzled.

Old Ancestor Longyan gave her a slightly dissatisfied glance: “Isn’t it the same? The legendary Divine Martial Army is the core force of the Divine Martial Dynasty, they aren’t into the whole disciple stuff. In any case, if you pass the test, the reward will not be less.”

Her tone sounded slightly annoyed. Obviously, she hadn’t anticipated that the Artifact Spirit would reveal her identity as an Elite Militia.

Wang Shuzhe was chuckling quietly to himself,

But at the same time, he was also terrified. The Divine Martial Dynasty, which collapsed a hundred thousand years ago, seemed terrifying indeed.

Old Ancestor Longyan, a core disciple of the Purple Abode Academic Palace, was considered only an Elite Militia?

How dreadful was the Divine Martial Dynasty when it was in its prime?

“Alright, let’s not get hung up on these details.” Wang Shouze tried to defuse the situation, “Old Ancestor, is there anything else we should be aware of during this trial?”

“Nothing in particular to note. Simply tell the Artifact Spirit that you want to participate in the test, and it will start. If you feel that you can’t win, feel free to surrender.” Old Ancestor Longyan replied.

Wang Shouzhe mulled over this, looked around the crowd, and fixed on the first target: “Fine, brother-in-law, you are the oldest, you go first.”

Chen Fangjie was startled: “I understand now, Shouze, your kindness in inviting me to participate in the trial is to have me probe the way forward first, isn’t it?”

“Brother-in-law, you’re nearly thirty, and you’ve just barely entered the Vital Energy Refining Realm Level Nine. I suspect you might not be able to win this round, so why not take this chance to test the waters? This way, I can plan our combat strategy accordingly.” Wang Shouzhe said mercifully, “If you’re not willing, do you want me to have my sister go first?”

Before Chen Fangjie had a chance to reply,

Old Ancestor Ruhong hit him on the head: “You ingrate! You should feel honored that Shouzhe invited you. If you are not successful, there will always be another opportunity. Besides, isn’t the reason why you’ve been able to quickly reach this state is because Shouzhe helped earn money?”

Are you kidding? How awesome is Shouzhe?

He’s the God of Wealth of the Chen Clan of Donggang, their income has increased a lot under his influence.

Whether Old Ancestor Ruhong could earn enough resources to advance to the Heavenly Human Realm in his lifetime, depended on how much Shouzhe could help.

Chen Fangjie had a bitter look on his face.

When did being nearly thirty and at the Vital Energy Refining Realm Level Nine become so worthless that I deserve to be scolded?!!

I remember Old Ancestor Ruhong used to say, “Fang Jie, oh, you’ve got a great potential, worthy of being a descendant of our Chen Clan.”

Now, I’ve turned into a good-for-nothing whelp.

It’s not that I, Chen Fangjie, am not working hard, it’s just that times change too fast.

Alright, compared to Shouzhe, as well as those demonically talented kids.

He really could only… take the lead and scout the path.

Before long, Chen Fangjie called out: “Artifact Spirit, my name is Chen Fangjie, and I want to participate in the trial.”

“Commoner, your name doesn’t mean anything. Speak your name again after you pass the first test.” The Artifact Spirit said.

Chen Fangjie felt a chill, he was, after all, the Young Clan Leader of the Chen Clan of Donggang, a Level Nine Vital Energy Refining Realm practitioner, and yet he had just been reduced to a commoner. However, before he could complain,

In the center of the trial field, space fluctuated.

Chen Fangjie’s opponent appeared, a monstrous demon almost two meters tall. It had an intimidating figure, seemed to be wearing scale armor, and had a spiked tail.

Its eyes were cold and piercing. A single glance at Chen Fangjie made him shiver and a sense of fear welled up within him.

He had only heard of demons in ancient texts.

“Don’t be scared, Fangjie! This is just a puppet demon.” Old Ancestor Longyan encouraged, “In terms of fighting ability, it’s not too dissimilar to an ordinary Peak Level Nine Spiritual Platform Seed from any clan. Not particularly difficult to deal with.”

Chen Fangjie almost fainted. Old Ancestor Longyan, you have a strange notion of ‘not particularly difficult to deal with.’

Without waiting for him to react, the demon puppet seemed to have perceived that Chen Fangjie was a trialist. It moved at a quick pace towards him, leaving a shadow trail in its wake.

It swung its claw, causing a gust of wind. The air echoed with a piercing sound.

Chen Fangjie hurriedly backed away, a silver long spear in hand, exchanging blows with the demon puppet. Unfortunately, there was a significant power gap between the two. Chen Fangjie held up for only about twenty moves before being sent flying by a swipe of the demon puppet’s claw, hastily yelling his surrender.

As soon as he shouted, the demon puppet immediately ceased its attacks.

Chen Fangjie was soaked in sweat, his hands trembling, he moaned, “This is your version of not particularly difficult to deal with?”

Wang Luoyi rushed over to help Chen Fangjie up, a worried look in her eyes. Their marital relationship was rather good, mainly because Chen Fangjie was exceptionally obedient to his wife.
