Chapter 782.1 [Calculations, Greatest Setback of My Life]

“You make people feel suspicious.”

Yue Yang put on a Sherlock Holmes face, as if ready to investigate the case and raised a doubtful point, “You said that you have been imprisoned here for 20,000 years, let’s first put aside the credibility of this point, but how did you know about the Prison Emperor and Empress Fei Wen Li if you really had been imprisoned here for 20,000 years?”

The old man replied calmly, ”Both the Prison Emperor and Fei Wen Li have come in for the trials before, you say I can’t know them both? The last two or three thousand years have been boring. This place used to be very busy. What did you say? Trials? No, there has been nobody who successfully completed the entire trial, not even the Prison Emperor or Fei Wen Li, both of whom you seem to worship, correct. They did not pass all ten stages, the Prison Emperor seemed to have completed eight stages, while Fei Wen Li that little girl was a bit better, passing the ninth stage and managed to reach the tenth stage but because some conditions were not met, she could not complete it and finally gave up. Little monster, let me tell you a secret, this trial is much harder than the Gate of Life and Death on the tenth floor of the Tong Tian Tower, the conditions for a full completion require not only strength, but also courage.”

Yue Yang grunted coldly and retorted, “The Heaven Realm is so wide and there are as many experts as there are stars in the skies, yet there is not a single one who has both strength and courage?”

The old man was very happy: “Kid, you might not believe it yet, but that is the way things are. Sometimes those who have strength do not necessarily have courage; while those who have courage do not necessarily have strength; and those who have both do not necessarily have luck.

“Luck?”

Yue Yang fell silent.

If the old man had said something else, Yue Yang would definitely have retorted.

But what he said was luck, and this cannot be questioned, because luck is an invisible being, and possessing it or not, even for the exact same person, would produce very different results. A person can be without strength and even without courage, but he definitely cannot be without luck…..

When the old man saw that Yue Yang was silent, he couldn’t help but tease him, “One look at you and It’s clear that you are not a lucky kid, you who have grown up amidst hardships, how would you know what luck is, haha.”

Yue Yang sweated again as he listened, if this was said to someone else, it might still be a bit reasonable.

But to say that to him, it would make others sweat profusely.

In fact, even Yue Yang himself had to admit that if they were comparing luck, there was no one more fortunate than him, not in the whole Tong Tian Tower or even the entire Heaven Realm.

The old man felt that Yue Yang already had such a strong strength at such a young age and probably had been strictly brought up by his master, forcing him to train day and night without rest, this upbringing was simply too bitter … … who could expect that it wasn’t the case with Yue Yang at all. His training, although there were also some periods where he trained bitterly, but he mostly relied on all kinds of enlightenment and fortuitous encounters. Yue Yang’s training was thousands of times faster than the average person. In addition to his own outstanding talent and incredible speed of enlightenment, he was also blessed with the different inheritance from the Sword Spirit Goddess, Fourth Mother, and Empress Fei Wen Li.

In a word, the old man had looked at Yue Yang and made a deduction based on his experience on gauging normal people, but this time he had made a mistake.

Yue Yang smiled.

He wasn’t going to jump out and laugh crazily while proclaiming himself as a lucky baby…this kind of bragging and foolishness was probably something only Fatty Hai would do!

“Go in and challenge yourself and see how many stages you can pass. This Rain Valley of mine is the easiest stage, every time you break through a stage, the difficulty will increase several times, after reaching the sixth stage, that difficulty is simply on a perverted level, if you can break through to the sixth stage, it is already enough for you to gain a bit of fame in the Heaven Realm.” The old man said that although successfully completing the first three stages were the minimum requirements to qualify as having completed these trials, the real difficulty only started after the sixth stage, and only those who were able to pass six stages and above were considered as the real experts.

“What will be the reward for passing all the stages?” Yue Yang felt that if there was a divine weapon reward, even if he had to spend some time to challenge it, it would be worthwhile.

“Don’t dream, even Fei Wen Li, that little girl couldn’t challenge the tenth stage.” The old man shook his head and waved his hand again: ”You kid, are not even as strong as me, do you know how many stages I broke back then? I broke through six stages and got stuck on the seventh, never able to pass it.”

“Old man, I have something you don’t.” Yue Yang laughed, a smug look on his face, “Just because you can’t pass the seventh stage doesn’t mean others can’t.”

“What do you mean? You mean you’re smarter than me?” The old man laughed coldly, “Young man, don’t think that just because you’re a little smart, you can bullshit as you like.”

“How about, let’s compete a little.” Yue Yang stretched out his hands and challenged the old man.

“It’s time for you to learn how to respect your seniors.” The old man rubbed his fists.

“Don’t cry your nose off when you lose and say I’m bullying the old, the weak and the sick when I beat you…” Yue Yang’s attitude made the old man gape, he had seen a lot of proud juniors, but he hadn’t seen anything more infuriating than Yue Yang.
