Chapter 846 - Only the Strong are Worthy of Beauties

Xuan Shitong’s explanation helped Chen Fan quickly grasp the situation.

Who would not want to participate in the Demonic Child Selection Battle?

Even if one could only join in for the spectacle and make up the numbers, it would be a great honor to catch a glimpse of the esteemed Demon Venerable Ping Shan.

However, with so many arriving on the Ping Shan Demonic Island, if anyone could join, even the entire Sky Suspended Demon Palace couldn’t accommodate them all.

“There is a similar demon cave outside each of the four demon sects. To obtain the qualification to join the Demonic Child Selection Battle, one has to pass the test from any one of the demon caves within the allotted time. Which demon cave are you going to choose?” Xuan Shitong asked.

“Is the test in all the caves the same?”

Xuan Shitong shook her head and said, “Each demon cave has a different test. Take this one—the Thousand Arts Demon Cave. Inside, you'll face various demonic path divine arts that will attack you. You will have to comprehend them as quickly as possible.

“The three other demon caves are the Thousand Formations Demon Cave, Thousand Puppets Demon Cave, and Thousand Battles Demon Cave. The names should give you an idea of what the tests entail. Each cave reflects the specialties of the Four Demon Warlords under the demon venerable.”

Chen Fan nodded, understanding the situation.

“Which demon cave will you challenge? I’ll go with you,” Xuan Shitong said with slight anticipation.

She was at the ninth level and had decent talent, so she also wanted to try challenging the Four Demon Caves to test her strength.

“Let’s go to the Thousand Arts Demon Cave and take a look first,” Chen Fan said. He was also curious about the Four Demon Caves.

“Alright.” Xuan Shitong hugged Chen Fan’s arm, looking incredibly intimate, her sweet smile drawing the gaze of many nearby. Some eyes lingered on them, clearly filled with envy.

While Xuan Shitong’s cultivation couldn’t be considered top-class here, her appearance could be. She was a rare gem whose appearance alone could command attention.

Chen Fan wanted to break free from her, but she clung to him tightly, not giving him the chance to escape. He had no choice but to enjoy this “happiness.”

“He must have stepped on a mountain of dog shit to gain the favor of such an exceptional beauty. Damn it.”

“I know, right? It's like a flower stuck in cow dung. Damn it!”

“Why can’t it be me? Why didn't someone like her fall for me? I’m handsome too!"

The surrounding men looked painfully envious.

The men’s grumbling only made Chen Fan more uninterested, but Xuan Shitong tilted her chin up proudly, her elegant neck exposed as she leaned on him like a graceful swan.

The two went on their way and saw people stepping into the Thousand Arts Demon Cave in succession.

Some were blasted out mere moments after entering, heavily injured. The test wasn’t an easy one.

Some experts also walked out from the other end of the demon cave, passing the test.

As the crowd watched, some began to murmur with awe. An exclamation broke the silence, followed by admiring whispers.

“So fast. It hasn’t even been an incense stick's worth of time, and he has already walked out of the Thousand Arts Demon Cave.”

The youth who had walked out was dressed in white and was handsome. However, he seemed overdressed and somewhat effeminate. Holding a fan delicately in his hand, he raised his chin high, exuding an air of arrogance.

His swift exit from the Thousand Arts Demon Cave was an impressive feat. He could enter the Sky Suspended Demon Palace, with a seat ranking in the top one thousand.

Although passing the demon cave’s test would earn one the qualification to enter the Sky Suspended Demon Palace, the seats within it were carefully divided into categories: top ten, top hundred, top one thousand, and top ten thousand.

The lower one’s rank, the more likely they were to catch the eye of the revered Demon Venerable Ping Shan.

However, getting a seat in the top ten or the top hundred was extraordinarily difficult.

This white-clothed youth’s achievement—finishing in such a short time—was undeniably impressive. Yet, he would only be able to gain a seat in the top one thousand. Even so, such a placement was enough for him to be proud of himself.

Soon, someone in the crowd recognized this white-clothed youth.

“It’s him! Ye Zimo, the young patriarch of the Ye Clan. It’s no wonder.”

The Ye Clan, while not a top clan on the Ping Shan Demonic Island, wasn’t weak. Its power far surpassed that of the Xuan Ting Demon Sect.

“

Hmm

?

While Ye Zimo enjoyed the crowd’s adoration and envy, his attention shifted to Chen Fan when he spotted Xuan Shitong. His eyes brightened immediately.

As the Ye Clan’s young patriarch, countless women would take the initiative to climb onto his bed. However, he had yet to enjoy an exceptionally beautiful woman like Xuan Shitong.

Immediately, Ye Zimo walked toward Chen Fan’s side.

Although he saw Xuan Shitong leaning on Chen Fan, he did not attach any importance to Chen Fan. He could easily crush an eighth-level Heavenly Star realm cultivator like Chen Fan with a single slap.

Moreover, he knew about all the young talents on the island, and Chen Fan was not among those he could not offend. Thus, he assumed Chen Fan was merely here to participate in the Demonic Child Selection Battle—unimportant and weak.

And since he was only at the eighth level, Ye Zimo was certain that the force behind him was nothing impressive.

Ignoring Chen Fan, Ye Zimo turned to Xuan Shitong. “Miss, I am Ye Zimo of the Ye Clan. I’ve been captivated by your beauty. May I invite you to the Heavenly Circulation Palace for a chat?"

The closer Ye Zimo looked at Xuan Shitong, the more excited he became. If he could have such beauty beneath him, how glorious it would be.

Chen Fan stopped and silently looked up at Ye Zimo.

Xuan Shitong swept a glance at Ye Zimo, smiled, and said softly, “But I promised this man to challenge the demon cave with him. What should I do?”

Seeing Xuan Shitong’s smile and hearing her charming voice, Ye Zimo felt his blood becoming hotter, especially since she showed no intention of rejecting him. He grew even more excited inside.

He had a chance!

Meanwhile, Chen Fan thought Xuan Shitong was simply causing trouble for him.

Ye Zimo looked at Xuan Shitong with shining eyes and said with a smile, “That’s simple.”

He shifted his gaze toward Chen Fan, raising his chin high, and said, “Brat, only the strong are worthy of beauties! I’ll give you a chance to live. Break your arms and get lost. This beauty has no time to challenge the demon cave with you. She wants to go to the Heavenly Circulation Palace with me!”

Ye Zimo looked at Chen Fan like he was looking at an ant.

Ye Zimo eyed Chen Fan as one would an ant, confident that his command would be obeyed. He expected this to elevate his own status.

Chen Fan glared fiercely at Xuan Shitong, who was smiling like a vixen. He shifted his gaze toward Ye Zimo and said indifferently, “Listen to me and listen well, as I won’t repeat myself—Scram!”
