Monarch Of Time

Chapter 966 The seventh trial: Showdown! (5)

A few moments later, the golden-robed Xuan Bo stood in front of Shun Long, towering over him like a giant staring down at an ant, as he asked curiously

''You are Shun Long, aren't you? I've already heard about you from the old man. How about you and I have a chat?''

Although Xuan Bo wasn't overly tall, just over 180cm (5ft'11), his presence was so overwhelming that it caused the surrounding Dao Kings and Dao Emperors to involuntarily take a few steps back as he approached them. Even among other peak-stage Dao Emperors, Xuan Bo was an apex existence and wasn't someone any of these people could casually strike up a conversation with. He was the true, undisputed number one Dao Emperor inside the 'City of Immortals'!

That was why, seeing him take the initiative to talk to someone else was a surprising event on its own.

Opening his eyes, Shun Long glanced at the handsome golden-robed youth who stood in front of him, before he waved his hand and said calmly

''If you want to talk, have a seat. We still have a week before the second round starts anyway.'' Although Shun Long didn't mention it, he too had heard about this golden-robed youth from the purple-robed overseer.

During the past month, the old man constantly mentioned how that person was the only one in the 'City of Immortals' who was talented enough to match Shun Long head-on. At this point, it would be a lie to say that Shun Long wasn't the slightest bit curious about this peak Dao Emperor in front of him.

Regardless of what kind of Dao he had comprehended, it was still a fact that Xuan Bo was a peak genius of the central continent, one that could not be compared to ordinary Dao Emperors.

Nodding his head, Xuan Bo casually took a seat on the ground next to Shun Long, not paying the slightest bit of attention to the surrounding Dao Kings and Dao Emperors who were staring at him and continued

''I'm sure you know who I am but I am going to introduce myself anyway. My name is Xuan Bo and I am the crown prince of the Tianxuan dynasty.''

Xuan Bo's introduction was short and concise without any unnecessary details, but the weight and prestige his words carried were more than enough to stun anyone who heard them for the first time!

The crown prince of the Tianxuan dynasty! Who in the entire central continent didn't know of his name? Who wouldn't be wary of his title? After all, this was the future ruler of one of the strongest powers in the central continent.

And yet, Shun Long didn't seem surprised at all, almost as if he was already aware of the golden-robed youth's status.

Of course, he had already learned of Xuan Bo's name a long time ago, after scanning through the information he had obtained from the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce', which was why he wasn't surprised right now.

Although those jade slips he had purchased only contained information about the 100 strongest Dao Kings and not the Dao Emperors, Shun Long still remembered the description of the person ranked 3rd in those jade slips, Xuan Long.

''3rd place, Xuan Long: The second most powerful genius of the Tianxuan dynasty and the third son of the Tianxuan emperor. He is a peak rank 9 Dao King and a peak-sixth stage body refiner, rumored to have already defeated an early-stage Dao Emperor right before entering the 'City of Immortals'. Although the Dao he has comprehended is still unknown, there are rumors that he was also born with an extremely rare unique physique that increases his physical strength and the resiliency of his skin many times over, making it harder than tempered steel. Among the entirety of the Tianxuan dynasty's younger generation, his talent is only second to his elder brother, the crown prince, Xuan Bo!''

Naturally, Shun Long still remembered the mention of Xuan Bo's name, since this person was widely considered to be the most talented member of the Tianxuan dynasty's younger generation!

Ultimately, Shun Long had to admit that the Tianxuan dynasty was a superpower of the central continent, one whose clutches were just as long and extensive as the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce's'. As long as one lived in the central continent, they would still be inside their sphere of influence, one way or another. Well... most of the time at least!

With a profound look in his eyes, the sitting Xuan Bo glanced at Shun Long and continued

''I don't know what you did during the fifth trial that managed to impress the old man so much, to the point where he even ranked you above me in the 'Heavenly Rankings', but you better not get complacent. I don't mind telling you that I barely showed a third of my strength during that trial, after all. The reason I'm telling you this is quite simple. If you used everything you had during the fifth trial, then you better forfeit your fight against me before it even begins... if you don't want to die that is. But if you have more to show, then I truly hope you can keep me entertained for a while!''

As he finished speaking, Xuan Bo's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he stared at the azure-robed youth in front of him, not even bothering to conceal his eagerness to fight. Then, without waiting for a response, he simply stood up and turned around as he began to walk away.

In one week, he was definitely going to find out how strong this person who had surpassed him in the 'Heavenly Rankings' really was.

However, just as his calm, threatening words resounded throughout the mountain peak, Shun Long actually opened his eyes and glanced at Xuan Bo's disappearing back, before he said calmly

''Keep you entertained? Even if you go all out and activate your 'Immortal-grade bloodline', you are still not my match.''
