Chapter 807: He's Truly Unbelievable!

"Has the Dark Palace opened...?"On the other side of the old district, an assassin, who had been patrolling the streets, suddenly turned his head.He gazed at the magnificent bouquet blooming in the sky, a faint glimmer in his eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he sighed helplessly."Forget it... I'd better not go yet."The assassin's eyes showed a hint of dejection. Having just suffered a major setback, he had no mind to compete for any special privileges.One must know that the emergence of the "Dark Palace" would undoubtedly attract a large number of powerful individuals confident in their abilities. If he were to venture into that maelstrom, teeming with numerous prodigies, he feared his spiritual foundation might truly collapse.He needed to re-evaluate his training and also required time to rebuild his confidence.He took a deep breath, clutched his short sword, and gradually disappeared into the dim light.

Inside the "Dark Palace," figures sped one after another!The underground passage was unlit, resembling the esophagus of a monstrous beast leading into an abyss—mysterious and profound.Upon entering, the young powerhouses from various realms immediately became highly vigilant. They guarded against potential dangers in the passage while also wary of other participants vying for special privileges.However, at this critical juncture, no one dared to easily attack each other. After all, the situation inside the "Dark Palace" was still unknown, and making a move now carried too many variables.After rushing out of the long corridor, everyone arrived in a vast, empty area. It was pitch black all around, and the walls and floor were bare, like a sealed circular cage.Those who had made it here were of considerable rank and possessed some degree of night vision, but they couldn't find a path forward. For a time, they scattered, bewildered, in the circular hall, looking around."Didn't they say there were special privileges here? Where are they?""I don't know... I don't see any path, nor any other guidance. Are we just supposed to wait here?""If we keep waiting, more and more people will probably be drawn here, and our advantage of arriving first will be gone!""Perhaps this is what the Heavenly Pagoda wants?"People whispered among themselves, but some grew increasingly impatient.This location had originally been discovered by Tu Tian and Fu Di. Their inability to enter immediately had already infuriated them, and with competitors constantly streaming in from behind, their anxiety escalated."Damn it... How long do we have to wait?""I've sensed it; this place covers a vast area underground. It should be a multi-layered palace extending downwards... The special privileges might be below.""Never mind, I'll just break through this floor first!"Tu Tian gritted his teeth, power surging through his body. He pulled out the long staff from his back, and the aura of a Fifth Tier practitioner instantly spread!The powerful fluctuations of the Force God Path immediately drew the attention of all other participants. Realizing what he intended to do, everyone's hearts tightened, nervously preparing for the impending developments.

However, just as Tu Tian raised his long staff, ready to bring it down with a crash, a calm voice drifted from the darkness:"Go on, try it."His hand instantly froze in mid-air.*Snap!*As a beam of light projected from the ceiling of the circular hall, a figure in a fluorescent robe stood expressionlessly in the center. A large "06" was emblazoned on his chest, and his eyes coldly stared at Tu Tian.The appearance of the referee immediately silenced the entire hall.Chen Ling slowly walked up to Tu Tian, his eyes narrowed. With the demeanor of an absolute superior, he spoke indifferently:"I haven't announced the rules yet... Did I tell you to move?"Sweat beaded on Tu Tian's forehead, and his face paled slightly. As a protégé personally trained by the Dragon Slayers, he had grown up under strict tutelage. Rules, order, and the precepts taught by his masters were deeply etched into his heart.Individuals raised in such an environment instinctively revered rules, for in their subconscious, rules were unbreakable.In this competition, the referee was the embodiment of rules and order. Although Tu Tian was a Fifth Tier practitioner and incredibly powerful, at this moment, he couldn't bring himself to defy the rules. He silently lowered the long staff in his hand.The other prodigies from official realm organizations present also remained silent, watching Chen Ling without moving.The atmosphere instantly became incredibly oppressive!In contrast, a master like Chen Ling, who had emerged from unofficial paths and roamed the civilian world, did not overly fear the authority of rules. Someone couldn't help but speak up:"Esteemed referee... Didn't they say there were special privileges in the 'Dark Palace'? Where are they?"Chen Ling glanced at him and slowly replied:"I will explain shortly."Chen Ling did not specify how long "shortly" would be. In the oppressive atmosphere, no one dared to ask further, merely standing obediently and waiting.No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't have imagined that the "referee" currently wearing the fluorescent robe, exuding immense authority and pressure, was actually a participant just like them.Chen Ling found this scene somewhat amusing. What kind of expressions would these people have if, after the competition, they realized they had been played by a Fourth Tier performer?Originally, the rules naturally did not include a "waiting" segment. However, Chen Ling felt that since the trap was set, it would be a waste not to lure more people in. The more people entered the Dark Palace, the more he could scheme against, and only then could he maximize the reduction of participants in the final stage.

*Tap-tap-tap...*In the dead silent circular hall, no one dared to move. They could only watch Chen Ling stroll around with his hands behind his back.Time passed minute by minute. More and more people were drawn in by the opening of the "Dark Palace." The circular hall, which initially held only a dozen people, gradually became crowded. A rough glance showed that nearly fifty individuals had been "tricked" into entering!"What's going on? Why is everyone just standing here?"Jian Changsheng, who had rushed over, noticed the oppressive scene in the circular hall. A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes as he asked in a low voice."We're waiting for the referee to explain the rules... He said he'd wait until more people arrived," a participant who had arrived earlier whispered in explanation."Thank goodness, thank goodness. It seems we made it in time too."Jian Changsheng let out a long sigh of relief.Along with him was Sun Bumian, who observed the surrounding participants with interest. Finally, his eyes, hidden behind small round sunglasses, swept over the "referee" walking around the hall.He suddenly froze.Then, he nudged Jian Changsheng with his arm and whispered:"Look, isn't that the... from earlier?""What?"Jian Changsheng followed his gaze and finally saw the referee, surrounded by the crowd. Upon seeing that face and the "06" emblem on his chest, Jian Changsheng's mouth slowly widened, a look of utter disbelief on his face!"This motherf***er... He's truly something else!"
