Nangong Lingyun spoke calmly, while Tang San and Tang Hao both clicked their tongues in disbelief.
Extracting fragments of spacetime itself… and having examinees battle legendary figures whose strength had already been proven beyond reason — this kind of test was unheard of.
No matter how confident they were,right now, even their hearts couldn't help but tremble.
Tang San's expression soured."Isn't this… a bit too hard?"
"Hard?
Heh.
Do you think Fei Xian City is some roadside vegetable market?
Under normal circumstances, for a lower small thousand-world with a population of more than ten billion to naturally produce a transcendent being, it takes hundreds of millions — even tens of millions — of years of evolution.
Put simply: naturally born immortals are one in hundreds of billions. If you add in all the other living races, whose numbers far surpass humans, it's not even one in trillions.
Non-human races have produced immortals too — Fei Xian City has quite a number of them.
And although the current examination provides assistance, special resources, and conveniences that your original world could never touch… the standards are hardly reduced.
And you should remember: this is only the second test.
Passing all nine gates? Forget 'difficult' — it's practically impossible. Across thousands of batches over the years, not even one might make it through.
But if you at least pass the third test, entering Fei Xian City as a regular resident, a legion soldier, or a low-level officer is still completely achievable.
From the third gate onward, every additional test you pass grants higher treatment, status, and authority.
Those who pass all nine? They become Inspectors, Governors, Suppression Envoys, Command Envoys — figures holding genuine power over major regions."
Claiming that three successful tests could already earn entry into Fei Xian City was something Nangong Lingyun said intentionally.
He feared raising expectations too high and crushing Tang San's will entirely.If the kid gave up halfway, that would be a waste.
Sure enough—as soon as he said this, Tang San and Tang Hao both lit up instantly.
If the second test was already this insane, then the later ones would certainly be even more monstrous.
If one had to pass all nine just to join, forget Tang San — even Tang Chen wouldn't have a shred of hope.
Passing three was still a near-impossible dream…but at least it wasn't completely invisible.
After digesting the new information, Bing Qing Yujie suddenly had an idea.
"Right, Feng-ge, how's your performance? What's your ranking?"
"Nice try. Classified information. Think I can just tell you?"
Haozi took the chance to ask something he'd been wondering.
"Then what about Nangong Lingyun? If Fei Xian City is so much stronger than the God Realm, why did he accept a God Realm inheritance instead of taking the Fei Xian exam?"
"And you concluded he didn't take it based on what?Because his name didn't appear on the ranking stele?
Dragons gather with dragons, snakes with snakes.He simply didn't team up with the ordinary students under him."
"So that's how it is. But with his strength, shouldn't he be able to rank near the top?"
"How would I know?
The second test has a pass rate of nearly 30%.If your strength reaches a certain threshold, you can easily control your score. Hiding your true ability for the harder tests later is very normal."
…
After firing off one question after another and running out of things to ask —
Tang San and Tang Hao exchanged a quick glance.
The moment their eyes separated, Tang San retreated back several steps.Haozi slowly stood up. His right hand tightened, and the massive Hao Tian Hammer appeared in his grasp.
A heartbeat later—
Tang Chen silently appeared at the doorway.
His entire body was encased in blood-stained demonic Shura armor, intricate red runes glowing faintly across the plates.A pair of bat-like wings flicked open behind him, and in his hand he held a heavy Shura Blood Sword.
"...What exactly are you all planning to do?"
Nangong Lingyun remained very calm.He feigned surprise for a moment, then returned to composure.
Tang Hao's face actually showed a trace of apology.
He shifted the Hao Tian Hammer to his chest and gripped it with both hands, as if performing a ritual salute. His waist bent slightly, his expression solemn and devout.
"I'm sorry.You've helped Xiao San a lot, and you've told us many secrets.
If not for Fei Xian City, whether it's me, San, or Grandpa — even the entire sect — we would gladly become your friends. Truly, we would have been grateful for it.
But with Tang San's current condition, his chances of passing the exam are absolutely zero. Not even a sliver of hope remains.
And we cannot stand here and watch him fail just like that.
So we need you to reveal more secrets — the type you shouldn't tell outsiders.
For example, any details about the Fei Xian exam that you've been hiding.
And you also mentioned God King Laws, God King Arts, God King Techniques earlier. The fact you know of them means you must have encountered them before.
Also, I'm sure you yourself have cultivation techniques, martial skills, secret arts, right?As long as you're willing to hand them over, I guarantee we won't harm your life. How about that?"
As Tang Hao bowed,Nangong Lingyun's face stiffened.
This time, it wasn't an act.He genuinely felt disgusted — almost physically sick.
He had no idea why, but seeing Tang Hao like this made him nauseous from the bottom of his heart.
Every extra second spent in this room felt suffocating.
If you want to kill someone, then kill them.If you want their treasures, then take them.
But putting on this pitiful "I don't want to do this, but I have no choice" persona…
Wasn't that just a bit too shameless?
And that bow — this signature gesture —it instantly reminded him of those vermin of his previous life.
To be honest, the Tang family really did resemble a certain island nation's… pests:hypocritical, shameless, double-standard, no bottom line, and always carrying generational arrogance.
Disgusting.
But the real peak of the scene hadn't arrived yet.
So Nangong Lingyun didn't lash out early.He regained his calm expression and asked mildly:
"I'm curious. What makes you think you can take me down?"
Tang Hao laughed — a loud, arrogant laugh overflowing with confidence.
"That's my line. Facing a Super Douluo and a Half-God powerhouse with a God King inheritance…
And you, a little brat barely grown, with only a Soul King's cultivation.
What gives you such confidence?Just because you have 'background' you think we won't kill you?
Stop pretending. We weren't scared into adulthood.
You only have one choice — cooperate honestly."
As he spoke—
Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red soul ring rose one by one behind him.
Not all at once — slowly, deliberately — as though he wanted to savor the dramatic reveal.
When the final ring appeared, an immense aura surged out from him like a bursting dam, overwhelming everything in its path.
Tang Chen said nothing, did nothing flashy,but simply standing there stated his stance well enough.
"Seems the lesson I gave you at the Kaiyuan Gate wasn't big enough.
Aren't you afraid you'll end up losing more than you hoped to gain?"
Tang Hao laughed even louder.
In this world, not only Tang San was frustrated — the once-mighty Hao Tian Douluo of the original timeline had also been humiliated repeatedly.
He desperately needed this moment to show off, just to patch up his self-esteem.
