Chapter 1146 - 1140: Interested in Becoming Sect Master?
"All the trainees who have come to take the examination, due to unforeseen circumstances, we haven’t prepared an alternative examination plan, so this time the assessment for the Cang Lan Sword Sect will be postponed."
The Divine Sword has been drawn, and all the sword spirits have dissipated, so this examination cannot continue.
"Those who have already passed the examination, please follow me back to the sect," Yun Senhai said, "The rest can stay in Starry Night City for three more days. After three days, the Cang Lan Sword Sect will arrange new personnel to assess you again."
"Hurry and leave, I estimate that in these few days, the Cang Lan Sword Sect will become a place of trouble."
"Yes, I think this Zhang Menglong has a strange gift; he must have an extraordinary background. Perhaps the Cang Lan Sword Sect won’t find it easy to obtain the Sword God’s inheritance from him this time."
"That’s right, he can unleash hundreds of times the strength of an ordinary martial artist, which is certainly not something an ordinary person could achieve."
Anyway, it won’t be long before the Cang Lan Sword Sect becomes unsettled, and the young people who haven’t participated in the assessment decisively chose to temporarily leave.
Before Zhang Menglong, two-thirds of the people had already completed their assessment. Among them, more than seven hundred people passed, but they all deliberately kept a certain distance from Zhang Menglong.
If at that time the Cang Lan Sword Sect seized the Sword God’s inheritance from Zhang Menglong, it was very likely that those from the Cang Lan Sword Sect would silence him, including those who were on good terms with him, who would also be hard-pressed to escape unscathed, so he now appeared as a very dangerous target.
Of course, Kong Lan, this straightforward sub-human, still stood by Zhang Menglong’s side without hesitation. No matter what kind of person Zhang Menglong was, he had always regarded him as a friend and never discriminated against his sub-human identity.
"Brother Zhang, I underestimated you," Kong Lan said to Zhang Menglong, "I didn’t expect you to be so formidable; this Divine Sword has even left God-breaking Realm martial arts experts helpless, or else they wouldn’t have let this Divine Sword continue to be controlled by the Cang Lan Sword Sect."
"Pretty impressive," Zhang Menglong said, "Actually, I haven’t even used my full strength yet, and this Sword God is nothing much."
"But you must be careful, I’m afraid this Sixth Prince won’t let it go," Kong Lan kindly reminded, "The Sect Master of the Cang Lan Sword Sect is the current Holy Lord of the Iron Sword Dynasty’s uncle, their relationship is quite unusual, so you going to the Cang Lan Sword Sect this time is undoubtedly walking into the dragon’s den."
"I know," Zhang Menglong said, "Didn’t I tell you, I originally came to the Cang Lan Sword Sect to cause trouble; I’m hoping they will make a move against me, by the way, are you really not considering joining my Sun Heaven Sect?"
"This..."
Previously, Kong Lan had always regarded this so-called Sun Heaven Sect as a joke, but now, having witnessed Zhang Menglong’s outstanding performance and terrifying gift firsthand, he could no longer ignore the importance of this Sun Heaven Sect.
"Brother Zhang, is this sect really just you alone?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Zhang Menglong said, "If you join now, I’ll directly appoint you as the Deputy Sect Master, and I’ll even give you the Sword God’s sword as a benefit, how about that?"
After he said this, Zhang Menglong actually handed the Sword God’s sword to Kong Lan.
How could Kong Lan dare to take it? Not to mention this thing was like a hot potato, he knew his own cred points well enough to understand he wasn’t qualified to have this sword.
"This bastard!" The Sixth Prince glared at Zhang Menglong; he had casually given the Divine Sword to someone else, did he think of this treasure as an ordinary object? This was the royal family’s gem, did he ask for his consent?
"What? You don’t want it?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Afraid I’m shifting the risk onto you?"
"Of course not!" Kong Lan said, "Even if no one was around right now, and you gave me this Divine Sword, I wouldn’t take it; it’s too precious, and since you drew it, you should be the one to inherit it."
"This thing is really useless to me," Zhang Menglong said, taking out a cane and peeling it, "To be honest, I find it too heavy even for peeling fruits. Here, try the cane!"
"You... you use the Divine Sword to peel fruits?" Kong Lan was stunned; he’s like using a cannon to shoot mosquitoes, such waste of talent! No wonder Zhang Menglong, whatever he did, it was extraordinary.
"Brother Zhang, you really don’t want the Sword God’s inheritance?" Seeing Zhang Menglong act as if the Divine Sword was not a treasure at all, he couldn’t help but reflect on the truth of the words Zhang Menglong had just said.
"I’ve read a lot, I wouldn’t lie to you; I really didn’t want it," Zhang Menglong said, "The things he has don’t befit me; even the things my family’s servants learn are better than his cultivation techniques."
"Your family’s servants?" Kong Lan then remembered to ask about Zhang Menglong’s background, "Brother Zhang, I still don’t know where you’re from."
"That’s none of your concern," Zhang Menglong said, "My family gave me some start-up capital, so I’m preparing to create a sect; this sect, apart from having no people, has everything anyone could want; this is the last time I ask you!"
"Alright! I’ll join!" Kong Lan said these words and even startled himself.
"Good, from now on, you’re the Deputy Sect Master of my Sun Heaven Sect," Zhang Menglong said, "The Cang Lan Sword Sect gives disciples a ninth-grade cultivation technique and martial arts; as the Deputy Sect Master of Sun Heaven Sect, you must have proper credentials."
Zhang Menglong extended his finger and tapped Kong Lan’s forehead.
"Self-Dominion Earth!"
"Divine Beast’s Seven Transformations!"
A cultivation technique and a martial art instantly appeared in his mind.
Kong Lan had the bloodline of a demon beast, and these cultivation techniques and martial arts came from the inheritance of the protagonist Luo Feng’s teacher, the golden horned beast, from "Swallowing the Starry Sky."
The golden horned beast is a starry sky beast, and even in that high-grade world, it is considered among the top bloodlines; their power can only be described as more than just strong.
Upon merely receiving information about these techniques, Kong Lan was overwhelmingly shocked.
Zhang Menglong truly wasn’t lying to him; according to the descriptions above, these things are even more terrifying than wild-grade techniques, which shows why Zhang Menglong was unimpressed by the Sword God’s inheritance!
"Menglong, we’re here!"
At this moment, the flying demon beasts of the Cang Lan Sword Sect had brought them to a valley in the northern Iron Sword Dynasty, near where the Cang Lan Sword Sect was established, by a Sword Tomb!
Yun Senhai sent out several strands of mystic qi into the void, but these strands were not sent out aimlessly; they targeted the formation eyes of barriers hidden in the void!
Moments later, light beams shot out from the hit locations, converging at one point. With radiating waves of light, an entrance slowly opened.
"Wow, it’s unlocked by gestures!" Zhang Menglong didn’t bother to remember it, because next time, he probably wouldn’t come again. No, to be specific, this place would soon cease to exist.
"Menglong, follow me closely, I will do my best to protect you!" Yun Senhai said as he walked to Zhang Menglong’s side.
Seeing Yun Senhai’s sincere eyes, Zhang Menglong suddenly changed his mind; the debtor is the one to blame, and his target was just that elder of the Cang Lan Sword Sect. Even if he didn’t like the Cang Lan Sword Sect, he would reshape it into something he did like.
"Elder Yun, may I ask you a question," Zhang Menglong said, "Are you interested in becoming the Sect Master of the Cang Lan Sword Sect?"
