I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 159: Irregular License Exam (39)

After the young man fell to the ground, everyone couldn't help taking a cold breath.

They never thought that Long Shui Ling would be this powerful.

It seemed that it wasn't for no reason that she had reached second place…

But Long Shui Ling didn't care about any of this.

She just looked at the judge and waited for him to give a verdict.

But that serious looking examiner didn't say anything as he jumped into the arena. He landed right by the young man and kneeled down beside him to take his pulse and check his breath.

After a minute, he finally said, "He's not dead, he's just knocked out."

He turned to Long Shui Ling and said, "The winner is Long Shui Ling."

Long Shui Ling just gave a nod before turning and running off.

It took her no time at all to return to the stands and to return to my side to grab my arm like she was my wife.

The serious looking examiner just shook his head when he saw this and announced the next fight.

But among the examiners, there was quite the commotion that had been raised.

"Did you see how skillfully she used her illusions to trap her opponent?"

"That's right, she combines both defense and offense when using her illusions like this."

"No, no, no, that's not the important thing. The most important thing was the way that she used her illusion in the end to attack. The power that was behind that last attack would have been enough for her to cut her opponent in half if she didn't hold back."

There was a lot of discussion about Long Shui Ling among these examiners.

However, what most of them did was stare at Elliot.

He had been in charge of the place where Long Shui Ling took the first test, so they were of course wondering why he hadn't noticed her.

Ellioti didn't know what to say since she hadn't shown this kind of power back then.

The amount of power that she had shown before wasn't even a tenth of this, so he hadn't paid any attention to her.

"So you set your eyes on the buffer that you lost sight of the other diamond in the rough?"

"It seems like your eyes aren't what they used to be."

They all teased him, but there was nothing that he could say since it was true.

He had completely ignored Long Shui Ling in favour of Lin Fan and he couldn't help regretting it now.

After all, this combo was much greater than Lin Fan alone.

Adding Long Shui Ling's illusion in, they were the perfect support combo.

After teasing him a bit, there was someone that asked, "Should we try to get her into the Awakener Association?"

When this was said, everyone's eyes couldn't help lighting up as they revealed excited looks.

That was right, even if Lin Fan was unavailable because he already belonged to Elementia, that didn't mean that it was the same with Long Shui Ling. They were certain that these two had only met in the second round, so they didn't both belong to the same organization.

That meant that Long Shui Ling was a free agent.

If they could bring her into their fold…then her illusion power would be theirs.

But before any of them could take it any further, the serious looking examiner suddenly said, "Don't even think about it. We can't touch that one."

All of them couldn't help revealing surprised looks since they never expected this serious looking man to chime in.

Even though he walked along with them, he was actually the head examiner and he had the power to back it up.

He was someone that was much higher ranked than them.

And if he said this, they had no choice but to believe it.

But they still couldn't help being curious why he would say something like this.

The serious looking examiner didn't even need to look at them to guess what they were thinking, so he just calmly said, "Look at her file and you'll know. She's from a place that we can't touch even more than Elementia."

Even more than Elementia?

Elementia was one of the top guilds and one of the strongest organizations in this world, how could there be a place that was even above that?

But the moment that they saw Long Shui Ling's file, they immediately understood what he was talking about.

That place…that really was untouchable…

If they tried, it would be hard to predict the consequences.

But if she was from that place, then wouldn't it be a problem for Lin Fan that she was so close to him?

When they looked back at the two of them, they couldn't help revealing looks of pity for Lin Fan.

They knew that he was certain to suffer at the hands of his in laws in the future,

It was just a good thing that Lin Fan didn't see this since these examiners were good at hiding their expressions.

The serious looking man just said with a sigh, "Just focus on your jobs and stop gossiping so much."

The other examiners gave perfunctory nods, but it was clear by the looks in their eyes that they were still planning on having fun.

But the serious looking man didn't care about any of that.

The matches continued and the number of people left dropped.

We were slowly weeded out by the tournament format and there were only four people left.

Surprisingly and not surprisingly at the same time, both Long Shui Ling and I both remained.

We had been able to take care of our opponents and advanced slowly to the top four.

Now that we were here, it was very likely that we would meet.

But before meeting, there was someone else that I would be facing first.

"Lin Fan and Zhao Kui, come to the stage."

It was Zhao Kui, the one that held a grudge against me this entire time.
