Chapter 66: Dark Room

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Giving the kill order had taken less than half a second, yet it had sent a group of people to the deepest part of the abyss.

It also marked the start of the countdown to his sister and his grandmother’s deaths.

Tragically, it really was nothing because to a high-ranking Purple Moon Warrior, the lives of ants did not matter. He might have stomped over a dozen ants just by walking a hundred meters outside.

Therefore, Tang Long would not treat the kill order as something serious because he certainly would crush this Purple Moon Warrior’s life like an ant. Stepping on an ant was really nothing big as long as he could be strong enough one day.

Blood reeked in Tang Ling’s throat, but he looked calmer than before.

Even the Purple Moon Warrior did not notice anything strange. He stood in front of the line and simply skimmed over the group of teenagers before he said, “Follow me.”

His gaze was absent of superiority this time because should these teenagers pass the second round of the exam, they would be considered as half a Purple Moon Warrior themselves. Even if he was a high-ranking warrior, superiority was unnecessary.

The exam yesterday was the cruelest among all the previous exams.

Although no one knew how the higher rankings came to the decision to host such a brutal exam, those who could pass somehow proved their Genetic Chain Potential.

Therefore, there was a high chance for this group of teenagers to pass the second round.

There might even be surprises. Walking in front of the group, the thought popped up in his mind.

Tang Ling unconsciously glanced over at Amir as he wondered if he saw the despair that stormy night since he was also from the settlement. If he did, would he recognize this particular Purple Moon Warrior? How would he feel then?

However, Amir kept his head down. At least on the outside, there was nothing wrong with him.

Tang Ling did not give it much thought either, and he did not show much expression on his face either.

The inside of Glory Hall was much bigger than expected.

The architectural style was similar to its exterior. As they walked inside, they could observe the Ou Hai Continent architectural style from every corner. Complicated, yet elegant and grand, it filled the venue with an artistic vibe.

However, after going through the main hall, the intertwining corridors, the stairs, and the countless rooms, it made the place feel like a labyrinth.

If not for the Purple Moon Warrior leading the way, getting lost in Glory Hall might actually be possible.

The group walked for a full ten minutes until the scarlet-caped Purple Moon Warrior brought them to the highest floor of Glory Hall.

There were fewer rooms on the highest floor, only five to be exact.

Four out of the five rooms had huge metallic doors with complicated carvings over the planks. They seemed to be the offices of some important figures.

Only the last door out of the five was black and the material of the plank was unknown, but it stood out among the others. It was also the scarlet-caped Purple Moon Warrior’s destination.

When he reached the front of the door, it opened and Fei Long came out. He nodded calmly at the Purple Moon Warrior. “Thank you, Arhan.”

The Purple Moon Warrior known as Arhan seemed pleased after receiving Fei Long’s nod of gratitude. He saluted respectfully before leaving with a solemn look.

“Hmph.” Chuckling deep in his heart, Tang Ling turned around for a glimpse of Arhan’s back. He etched the name deep in his mind together with those sinister deep eyes, crooked nose, and gaunt cheeks.

“Come in.” Fei Long stepped aside and invited the group of curious teenagers inside.

He was wearing casual clothes today. Those who did not know him might not know who he really was, but after the exam yesterday, he had appeared before the public eye and even argued with Su Yao before ultimately leaving.

The nervous teens saw someone they were familiar with. Combined with Fei Long’s casual and somewhat friendly manner, they were slightly at ease.

“That kid seems a little distracted. Did Su Yao quietly test his potential?” As the others swarmed in the room, Fei Long was keeping an eye out for Tang Ling since he liked and had anticipation for this teen.

However, Tang Ling turned back with a nonchalant look, and it caused Fei Long to misunderstand.

As a matter of fact, Tang Ling had never tested out his potential, and Su Yao did not even tell him the contents of the second exam. He had no idea what he must do. He just felt that it was strange that the room was so dark and it felt like he had walked into a bottomless pit after entering it.

It was as if all the light had been absorbed, so he could not even see the others in front of him. He had to rely on the sound of their breaths and footsteps so as not to bump into each other.

“I’m sorry. I forgot to switch the lights on.” The lazy, hoarse voice of a man echoed from the dark room.

Following the voice, soft light finally bathed the room.

A man in a long white robe suddenly walked out from behind a huge machine. He scratched his messy hair. Albeit apologizing, he did not look or sound like he was truly sorry.

The black door was closed. Fei Long then stared at the man with a vexed look. “Yang Kong, I just stepped away to take the young ones here. It’s been less than half a minute and you fell asleep?”

Sleeping even for half a minute? Tang Ling could not help but spare an extra glance at the man named Yang Kong as he was sizing up the room.

His tuft of hair was a messy mix of black and white while his white robe was dirty and his beard was untrimmed. He was wearing an item from the old civilization, a pair of sunglasses. Even though he was rather pleasant-looking, he reeked of mess and dirt.

“I’m very busy. I sleep based on my mood,” Yang Kong simply replied Fei Long. The way he spoke was disordered too as the logic and sequence were messed up.

Is this man the leader of the Purple Moon Warrior? Tang Ling wondered. Su Yao did tell him before that the invigilator would be the leader of the Purple Moon.

Then, Fei Long walked to the front and said, “The second exam will be held here. If anyone of you can pass and graduate from the First Reserved Camp, you’ll become a Purple Moon Warrior under me. And he, Yang Kong, will be your most important theory mentor in the First Reserved Camp.”

The moment Fei Long’s words subsided, other than Yu, Orston, and Tang Ling, the others instantly looked solemn and respectful.

This casual and kind man was the leader of the Purple Moon Warriors, meaning that he was the strongest Purple Moon Warrior.

This mentor, their most important mentor, was also a very important figure in their upcoming lives.

He’s the leader? Tang Ling might not respect him as much as others, but when he thought of the argument between him and Uncle Su Yao yesterday and how he left in a weird manner, he felt strange.

At least, Fei Long was not cold, merciless or reeked of superiority.

Of course, Fei Long could not read Tang Ling’s mind, so he quickly announced the content of the second exam, “The second exam is simple. You don’t need to do anything, but if you want to pass, you must get through this.”

He then pointed at the large machine in the room.
