Chu Feng was different from the others — the others had come for the great beauty.
But not Chu Feng. Chu Feng only wanted to see the Asura Burial Ground.
If he could successfully see the Asura Burial Ground, Chu Feng would simply forfeit and leave.
But the current situation seemed different from what Chu Feng had imagined — they... appeared to be heading straight into a competition.
"Senior, didn't you say before that obtaining a spot in the betrothal competition would allow one to get close to the Asura Burial Ground?"
With no other choice, Chu Feng could only secretly send a voice transmission to Dongfang Yunkong.
He wanted an answer, but he was still anxious.
Because along the way, he had already secretly asked Dongfang Yunkong, but Dongfang Yunkong had not given Chu Feng an answer. Therefore, Chu Feng did not hold out much hope for this inquiry either.
He had already made up his mind — if Dongfang Yunkong still wouldn't answer, he would simply give up. He didn't want to take a beating for nothing.
"You're that interested in the Asura Burial Ground?"
However, to Chu Feng's surprise, this time Dongfang Yunkong actually replied. Though it was also through a secret voice transmission, he did indeed respond.
"Senior, to be honest, I had no interest in the betrothal competition to begin with. The reason I seized this spot is precisely because you told me, Senior, that obtaining a spot would give me a chance to get close to the Asura Burial Ground."
"Senior, I am indeed very interested in the Asura Burial Ground. Could Senior tell me whether I actually have a chance to get close to it?"
Chu Feng hid nothing, speaking his thoughts openly.
Dongfang Yunkong did not immediately respond to Chu Feng, but after a moment, he finally spoke.
"Then do your best to keep going. Only by demonstrating sufficient strength will you have a chance to get close to the Asura Burial Ground. But let me warn you — that might be a good thing, but it might not necessarily be a good thing. The Asura Burial Ground is different from other relics and dangerous places."
"In the past, countless people who shared your curiosity about it have perished because of it. So you'd better think twice."
With those words, Dongfang Yunkong fell silent and gave no further response.
"Do my best to keep going?"
"If it's an examination, that might be fine. But if it's a competition... I probably can't hold my own, can I?"
Chu Feng felt that among those present, if they were talking strictly about barrier techniques, there were quite a few whose strength surpassed his own. If the competition involved barrier techniques, with his current level of strength, he would certainly lose.
But if it was an examination, perhaps he could still find a sliver of hope.
Just as Chu Feng was worrying, the elevated platform was finally set up, and the Black Fiend Old Devil began to speak.
"Young friends, next you will go through an examination. The ultimate winner of this examination will not only be able to marry my granddaughter, but also receive a grand gift from me, placed at the endpoint."
"In the upcoming examination, you may only use barrier techniques, and you may summon your World Spirits, but you absolutely may not use martial force."
"But before the examination, you will need to undergo a test, so that I may see the true extent of your World Spirit techniques."
At this point, the Black Fiend Old Devil turned his gaze toward a junior member of the Gongsun family.
He was a handsome young man with an extraordinary bearing.
In terms of appearance, this one was undoubtedly the finest among the seven geniuses of the Gongsun family.
When the Black Fiend Old Devil's gaze fell upon him, the others present also showed looks of anticipation.
They all seemed to harbor great expectations for this handsome young man — or perhaps it was simply curiosity.
"Of course, this test is merely my own personal interest — it has no bearing on your examination results."
