Chapter 120: Shocking All Sides! The Identity of Long Aotian

Chapter 120: Shocking All Sides! The Identity of Long Aotian

"Old Sun, didn't you say that you were definitely going to take Long Aotian as your disciple?"

Principal Lu suddenly laughed from the side, "Why didn't you speak up earlier? If you had, I would have fully supported you."

Old Sun glared viciously at Principal Lu and angrily retorted, "Old Lu, stop gloating. Didn't you also underestimate him because he seemed young and treated him like a junior?"

Taking a sixth-level master as a disciple?

Old Sun, despite his domineering personality, wasn't an idiot!

Chen Ye's punch that injured Master Shi Wu still made him shudder.

If it had been him standing there instead of Master Shi Wu, he wouldn't have even left a trace!

Master Shi Wu was reputed to be the top defensive expert in the country!

Yet, he was severely injured by two punches from Long Aotian?

Even though Master Shi Wu was an average sixth-level expert, he was still a sixth-level!

Not just any nobody!

Two punches to severely injure a sixth-level expert?

This level of combat power almost rivals the president of the association, "Ba Liming"!

Two years ago, when Master Shi Wu challenged Ba Liming, he was slapped into the ground tiles by Ba Liming...

That was because Ba Liming had been famous for a long time, a veteran martial artist with immense strength! He was only a step away from achieving the "Seeing God" level in martial arts.

What's the deal with this Long Aotian?

No one had heard of him before!

He seemed to have sprung up from nowhere as a sixth-level expert...

And his strength within the sixth level wasn't low either!

The most crucial point.

He was so young!

Younger than Captain Qin by a lot.

Such a genius.

Shouldn't he have already been famous nationwide?

"Old Chen, who exactly is this Long Aotian?" Principal Lu asked as well.

This question stumped President Chen!

"I'm not exactly sure!" President Chen said, "Long Aotian was called here by my son; they seem to have a good relationship."

"Your son knows such a strong person?"

Old Sun realized his mistake as soon as he said it and quickly explained, "I didn't mean your son isn't outstanding, but he's still quite far from the sixth level..."

President Chen knew Old Sun had a loose tongue and didn't mind.

His son, Chen Ye, wasn't even at the third level yet, so he indeed wasn't qualified to reach the sixth-level masters.

Even President Chen himself could only count two or three sixth-level masters he was on speaking terms with, one of whom was his senior brother.

Besides his senior brother, the other two were just acquaintances.

Asking them to help compete for elemental magic would be a pipe dream.

Prompted by Old Sun, President Chen became more worried.

"I'll ask that brat!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

President Chen took out his phone and dialed Chen Ye's number.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later..."

...

At that moment, Chen Ye was resting in his tent.

Although the previous fight only lasted two punches, it benefited him greatly.

Not to mention anything else.

At least he understood the extent of his current strength.

Based on his estimation.

He should be at the mid-level of the sixth tier.

Still a distance from the top.

Chen Ye had just used his computer to search the web for information on Master Shi Wu.

Master Shi Wu was a well-known figure from the Buddhist sect, so there was plenty of information about him online. Chen Ye even found a video of Master Shi Wu being easily defeated by President Ba two years ago...

Although this monk was a sixth-level expert with intimidating muscles, he was one of the weaker ones at that level.

This might have something to do with his innate abilities.

In the domestic evaluation of strength, the focus was mainly on attack power.

This standard was also applied internationally.

Therefore, Chen Ye judged his own strength to be at the mid-level of the sixth tier based on Master Shi Wu's abilities.

"Only mid-level sixth tier... still needs more effort!"

Sighing, Chen Ye continued browsing the internet on his laptop.

In this world, the internet had long since advanced to the 6G era, achieving global seamless coverage with free data and lightning-fast speeds.

As long as your device was working, there would be no lag.

Even in the mountains, the signal was excellent.

As he browsed, a trending news headline caught Chen Ye's attention.

"Conspiracy Thwarted, Heavy Losses for Foreign Countries!"

This was the headline.

When Chen Ye clicked on it, he discovered that the content was related to him and Tang Zichen!

It turned out that foreign forces, in order to target Tang Zichen, had offered a huge bounty and assembled several armies to enter the 5th secret realm, intending to assassinate or restrict Tang Zichen.

According to reports from foreign netizens, their latest research suggested that if enough people carrying bad luck gathered in the 5th secret realm, it could trigger more severe consequences, potentially leading to a major disaster...

The plan this time was to send enough people into the secret realm to stop Tang Zichen.

Even if they couldn't kill Tang Zichen, they wanted to at least prevent her from achieving good results.

For this, many foreign officials had invested heavily, offering money and positions to gather enough personnel to enter the secret realm on the 1st day.

Unexpectedly...*Chapter 123: Shocking All Sides! The Identity of Long Aotian (Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader "Plow Behind Sword")*

Tang Zichen didn't go!!

So, the foreign officials' elaborate plan ended up being a complete waste of effort.

Not only did they fail to target Tang Zichen, but they also had to spend a lot of resources.

Then, things took a strange turn...

Some officials outright refused to pay those who had entered the 5th secret realm.

Of course, those people were not having it!

So, they started causing trouble, leading to quite a bit of chaos.

When the news reached China, it quickly became a hot topic.

"Damn! This is hilarious, is this even possible?"

"666... Goddess Tang's move is brilliant! Knowing you were going to target her, she just didn't go!"

"Hahaha, so funny! These guys ended up shooting themselves in the foot?"

"Does the goddess have some kind of foresight ability? She knew they were going to play dirty in the 5th secret realm, so she chose not to go?"

"These guys missing their mark must be furious, right? Haha!"

"Haha... sounds nice, but isn't Tang just a coward, afraid to go?"

"Tang Zichen still dares to call herself a strong person? Real strong people never miss any of the first 20 secret realms."

"Hmm? Where did this dumb troll come from? Can't stand others doing well?"

"Report them quickly; they're all walking 500,000s!"

"Don't bother with these fools, look at their IPs, they're all traitors who ran away. Seeing our country getting better and better makes them jealous!"

...

Chinese netizens almost unanimously believed that Tang Zichen did the right thing, even thinking she handled it beautifully.

After reading the news and some of the comments, Chen Ye was stunned.

He hadn't expected that pausing his trip to the secret realm to fight for the elemental demon's crystal core would inadvertently avoid a crisis.

If what was said online was true, that gathering enough people with bad luck in the secret realm could lead to increased targeting and premature disasters, it would have been a big problem for both him and Tang Zichen.

Especially for Tang Zichen.

She wasn't as resilient as Chen Ye.

If the secret realm had started its major disaster early, she might not have been able to hold on.

The 5th secret realm was like a survival mode similar to "Final Destination."

Chen Ye couldn't guarantee he could protect himself and Tang Zichen under such conditions.

The 5th secret realm was an enhanced version of "Final Destination"!

It could use supernatural forces to target everyone.

No one knew what kind of disaster might strike...

...

In the evening.

President Chen sent someone to inform Chen Ye that dinner was ready.

Tonight's dinner was a whole roasted lamb!

When Chen Ye arrived, he found only President Chen and Principal Lu there; Old Sun was nowhere to be seen.

"Hmm? Where's Senior Sun?" Chen Ye asked curiously, "Why isn't he coming for dinner?"

President Chen hesitated on how to explain.

Principal Lu laughed first, "Old Sun is too embarrassed to show up in front of you... Also, he asked me to apologize on his behalf. In his words, he didn't recognize a great person and has a habit of speaking without thinking. He hopes Mr. Long can be generous and not hold it against him."

This was referring to Old Sun's earlier comment about taking Chen Ye as a disciple.

Hearing this, Chen Ye waved his hand immediately, "Principal Lu, it's nothing... Where is Senior Sun? I'll invite him over."

He really didn't mind.

The fact that he came to help meant he was a loyal and trustworthy person, someone his father could rely on.

Such a person was practically family!

Moreover, when Chen Ye was fighting Master Shi Wu, Old Sun specifically warned him about the monk's muscle recoil ability.

Regardless of whether the warning was useful or not.

He dared to offend a sixth-level expert to warn him, which was a favor worth acknowledging.

"No need for you to invite him!" President Chen laughed, "Old Sun is thick-skinned. As soon as he hears you've forgiven him, he'll definitely come over."

After saying that, President Chen called Old Sun.

Sure enough.

In no time, Old Sun arrived laughing.

"Mr. Long, you truly are a great person! Such magnanimity is extraordinary!"

As soon as Old Sun arrived, he praised Chen Ye and offered him a toast, "Even though Mr. Long is magnanimous, I was rude first, so I must apologize... I'll drink three cups as a penalty!"

Principal Lu laughed, "Old Sun, I think you just want an excuse to drink, right?"

Old Sun ignored Principal Lu. After drinking three cups as a penalty, he filled Chen Ye's cup and toasted again, "Mr. Long, thank you for your generosity. I toast to you!"

With that, he drank it all.

"Senior Sun, you can call me Long Aotian! You're a senior, no need to be so polite..."

Chen Ye said and drank his cup.

In the original story, the bald demon king had also drunk, and even forbade Tornado from drinking, which led to Tornado getting drunk and going wild...

So, Chen Ye didn't need to abstain from alcohol.

As soon as he put his cup down, President Chen filled it again and also toasted him:

"Long Aotian, if it weren't for you today, who knows what would have happened! I toast to you!"

Chen Ye couldn't let his father toast him!

He had already decided that after the elemental demon mission, whether he got the crystal core or not, he would tell his father his true identity.

If he accepted this toast now, later... it might turn into a "father-son showdown!"

Thinking of this, Chen Ye quickly said, "No, no, you're the president, I should toast you."

With that, Chen Ye drank it down quickly, not giving his father a chance to argue.

As they were enjoying their drinks.

The news about Long Aotian injuring Master Shi Wu spread rapidly...

Shocking all sides!
