Ding-a-ling-a-ling!

A ringtone sounded, and Jiang Chen took out his phone to see the caller ID, expressionless, he answered the phone, "Hello, Elder Qing."

"Young Jiang, why haven't you guys arrived yet?" came Elder Qing's chuckling voice from the earpiece.

Jiang Chen glanced at Li Feng and Long Wuhun, and spoke indifferently, "The people who came to pick up the Long Ya warriors said that since I currently have no plans to join Long Ya, I'm not qualified to go to the Long Ya base. I asked Elder Shen and the others to board the plane, let them go by themselves!"

"What? Which bastard said that? What about Li Feng? What about Long Wuhun? Didn't I tell them to make sure to invite you?" Elder Qing's voice came through the earpiece, shocked and angry.

This time, it had been a hard-won opportunity to use Long Ya's selection opportunity to invite Jiang Chen along. If it were missed, who knows when Jiang Chen would be willing to visit Flame Dragon!

"It was they who said it!" Jiang Chen blinked, looking curiously at Li Feng.

The way Jiang Chen addressed him on the phone had already made Li Feng and Long Wuhun change their expressions, and when they heard Jiang Chen's next sentence, both felt bitter in their hearts.

They had stirred up trouble!

"What? Are those two bastards next to you? Let them take the call!" Elder Qing's roar came from the earpiece.

Jiang Chen frowned in displeasure and retorted sharply, "Why are you yelling? Do I owe you anything?"

Li Feng and the other felt their hearts squeeze fiercely, staring at Jiang Chen in shock, a tidal wave of awe rising in their minds!

Wow! Was this kid so tough?

Daring to talk to Elder Qing like this?

Was the Elder Qing he was speaking to the one we know, or could it be someone else?

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, then a sigh with a wry smile came through, "You rascal, it's only because it's you. Otherwise, if anyone else dared to yell at this old man, I..."

"Stop wasting time!" Jiang Chen said irritably, interrupting Elder Qing and handed the phone to Li Feng.

Gulp!

Li Feng swallowed nervously, his face tense as he took the phone and glanced at it, his heart skipped a beat when he saw the series of '0's.

"Hello!" Li Feng called out with a nervous expression.

"Li Feng, did you just ignore my words? Long Wuhun acts fearlessly because he has an ancestor backing him that I can't afford to provoke, but you just wouldn't listen, would you? Do you believe I'd go right now and give your family's ancestor a good thrashing?"

Upon hearing Li Feng's voice, Elder Qing immediately broke into a tirade of curses.

Li Feng's face soured as he said, "Elder Qing, it's not like that, we… we just wanted to curb the arrogance of the Long Ya people a bit. We didn't expect this Mr. Jiang, the chief instructor, to be so... so staunch!"

"Staunch? Explain what happened?" Elder Qing's surprised voice came through the earpiece.

Li Feng seized the chance to explain, quickly recounting what had just happened, noting that they always used this kind of tactic when recruiting new members.

Thus, he didn't think what they had done was wrong.

"What? I told you before you went, Long Ya people are different from the rest. Don't think about using your tactics on them. Just bring them here peacefully. Why didn't you listen? Do you need to be disciplined? And Young Jiang being staunch? If Jiang Chen really got tough, not to mention Long Wuhun getting beaten till he vomits blood, you'd have been lying down by now!"

Elder Qing launched into another lecture!

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Jiang Chen and the others, and said in astonishment, "Elder Qing, they're not really going to gang up on me, are they? Even if they gang up on me… can't I outrun them if I can't beat all these Innates?"

"Gang up? Do they need to gang up to hit you? Young Jiang could slap you down with one palm! Do you think your Semi Venerable Venerable early-stage strength is strong? The number of Semi Venerable Venerables that Jiang Chen has killed is more than just a double-digit number according to what I know. The last time I saw this kid unleash his prowess, he was already at the late stage of the Semi Venerable Venerable, dealing with you would be like playing!" Elder Qing said crossly.

"What?!"

Li Feng shouted in shock, turning his head blankly, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Jiang Chen, "Semi Venerable late stage?! How is that possible? He's so young, how could he be a late-stage Semi Venerable powerhouse?"

Upon hearing this, Long Wuhun froze on the spot, eyes wide and mouth agape as he stared at Jiang Chen, Li Feng's words echoing non-stop in his mind:

'Semi Venerable late stage'... 'Semi Venerable late stage'...

Seeing the expressions on Li Feng and the others, a group of Long Ya warriors proudly puffed out their chests.

So what about Flame Dragon? Our chief instructor can still shock you until you're lost!

This is our Long Ya's chief instructor!

"Li Feng, do you think just anyone is qualified to come to our base without joining our Flame Dragon? Listen well, this time it's not just about letting him visit the Long Ya's selection base, but to have him visit our headquarters' residence! Do you understand the significance of this?"

"Since the establishment of Flame Dragon, when have you seen anyone else receive such treatment besides Young Jiang? You're still here offending people? If Young Jiang really doesn't come, you and Long Wuhun don't bother coming back, just keep begging him until he comes. If he doesn't come for a day, you beg for a day; if he doesn't come for a year, you beg for a year, keep begging until he comes!"

Elder Qing issued his final ultimatum, angrily hanging up the phone.

Li Feng was flabbergasted, totally flabbergasted!

Not to the base? To the residence?!

That was a place where even ordinary official members of Flame Dragon couldn't go, yet Jiang Chen, who had not even joined Flame Dragon, was qualified to go there?

This was too incredible!

Moreover, more importantly, had Jiang Chen's strength really reached the level Elder Qing mentioned?

Li Feng was staring at Jiang Chen with his phone in his hands, dumbfounded. Was this guy really a late-stage Semi Venerable powerhouse?!

How was that possible? Was this guy even thirty years old?

Was he another freak like those guys?

And even... more of a freak!

"Can I have my phone back? I just bought it, and I sure am not giving it to you!" Jiang Chen glanced at Li Feng, speaking irritably.

"Oh, oh."

Li Feng snapped back to reality, hastily returning the phone to Jiang Chen, "Chief Instructor Jiang, I apologize for my earlier offense, I hope you can forgive us, please... please come with me!"

"What did Elder Qing say if I don't go?" Jiang Chen took the phone, asking with interest.

Li Feng's mouth twitched, his face growing even more bitter, "Elder Qing said, if you don't go, he'll have me and Long Wuhun keep begging you, a day not going means a day of begging, a year not going means a year of begging, until you go!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen and Long Wuhun both twitched at the corners of their mouths and exclaimed simultaneously, "That's harsh!"

The two froze for a second and then exchanged glances.

"You think so too?" Long Wuhun looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

Jiang Chen spoke disdainfully, "Yeah, having you two follow me around begging me non-stop, wouldn't that annoy me to death? Elder Qing is too harsh! If I don't go, he's determined to irritate me until I do!"

Long Wuhun was taken aback for a moment, his expression stiff, a head full of sweat breaking out.

It turned out the guy was annoyed by his own persistence.
