Monarch Of Time-Novel

Chapter 446 - 446 Shun Long"s goal

The look in Cao Ling’s eyes had turned extremely deep and serious as he stared at Shun Long.

This aura coming from Shun Long’s body was so terrifying, that it even made him, a Dao Emperor, feel a chill in his heart.

Of course, this wasn’t because Shun Long’s strength had suddenly reached the same level as a Dao Emperor’s. After all, that was simply impossible regardless of one’s bloodline or the pills they had consumed.

Instead, Cao Ling clearly understood, that this sudden chill that he felt was an instinctive reaction that his body had towards the bloodline inside Shun Long’s body.

He could feel that this was no different, than if he was standing in front of a terrifying magic beast that had just opened its eyes.

Naturally, as a Dao Emperor, it wasn’t difficult for Cao Ling to suppress this feeling and he didn’t even need to circulate his qi, as his eyes continued to stare at the blue-robed young man in the center of the arena.

Of course, Shun Long already knew that the moment he revealed his ’Dragon Bloodline’, it was bound to attract a lot of attention.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul and awakened his bloodline, he had originally decided to keep it as a trump card and not use it in this fourth test. However, after a few moments of deliberation he finally decided against it.

Although he didn’t know why the old Dao Emperor from the Holy sect would force a peak rank 1 Nascent Soul disciple to fight against someone at the peak of rank 4 of the Nascent Soul, Shun Long knew that this fight was nearly impossible to win.

Even if he utilized the Dao of Space to its fullest and covertly used the Dao of Time without allowing anyone to notice it, he knew that his chances of winning were still less than 10 percent!

Of course, those chances would probably rise to 20 percent if he went all-out and attempted to use his Time Prison on the long-haired young man, but the odds of the ’Time Prison’ affecting someone 3 minor ranks above him were extremely low.

Additionally, even if it did affect the long-haired young man in the end, there was no way that Cao Ling wouldn’t recognize his Dao of Time in that case.

Although comprehending a Dao wasn’t a sin, as more and more time passed, Shun Long realized how extraordinary his Dao of Time really was. Thus, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t reveal it in front of thousands of people during the fourth test.

With these thoughts in mind, Shun Long still decided to openly reveal only his Dao of Space during the Holy sect’s test. After all, although the Dao of Space was probably not that inferior to his Dao of Time, it was impossible for Shun Long to fight for so long without showing at least a single trump card of his.

At the same time, he had already guessed, that those people who were overseeing the third test had already guessed that he had comprehended the Dao of Space.

However, this wasn’t the only reason why Shun Long decided to show his Dragon’s bloodline.

After all, in the end, he didn’t really think that the old Dao Emperor in the sky would really eliminate him, even if he lost against the yellow-robed young man from the Holy sect.

No matter what, as an experienced Dao Emperor, it was impossible for Cao Ling to not realize that since Shun Long could fight against a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator with his own cultivation at the peak of rank 1 in the Nascent Soul, he was at the very least considered a rare genius.

Since the Holy sect’s aim was to find disciples, Shun Long would most likely still pass the test, even after losing to the long-haired young man in front of him who had already unsealed his cultivation.

And yet, the reason why Shun Long still decided to show off his Dragon bloodline despite having guessed this, was because he wasn’t planning to stay low-key after entering the Holy sect.

He wanted the Holy sect to notice him, and only by showing his talent could he really achieve that.

At that moment, Shun Long could feel immense amounts of energy filling his body, while protective black scales that resembled black armor started to cover his arms and legs at the same time!

Although it was obvious that these scales didn’t originate from a human, they gave off a sense of indescribable beauty as well as fear at the same time.

Finally, as Shun Long opened his eyes, a powerful aura instantly erupted from his body, causing the long-haired young man from the Holy sect to imperceptibly tremble.

Just based on his aura it was obvious that Shun Long’s strength was already more than enough to threaten him.

At that moment, a look of shock as well as some fear had already appeared on the face of the white-robed Dao King Elder Zhuan, as he stared at the blue-robed young man at the center of the arena without saying a word for a long time.

Elder Zhuan had already seen Shun Long fight with 3 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators during the third test and he was already certain that that was his limit.

After all, for a rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator to jump levels and fight against a rank 4 Nascent Soul stage outer disciple from the Holy sect was absolutely impossible.

And yet, the aura coming from Shun Long’s body right now was clearly strong enough to rival even that of a peak rank 4 Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Turning his head to the side, Elder Zhuan looked at the white-robed Dao Emperor next to him and asked in a disbelieving voice

’’Senior Cao Ling... is that really an immortal-grade bloodline?’’
