Chapter 929: Meeting the City Lord

As soon as Xiao Fan and his group stepped across the Nantian Gate, they felt a Spiritual Qi that was vastly different from the outside world.

This majestic Spiritual Qi was so vast that even Xiao Fan couldn't help but marvel at it…

Apart from him, the other nineteen people, including Wei Zhongshan, felt the same…

"I had heard before that the Spiritual Qi inside the Nantian Gate was completely different from the outside world… Seeing it today, it truly is extraordinary."

"Indeed… This Spiritual Qi is at least several times denser than outside…"

"It feels so comfortable; every time I breathe, I feel the pores all over my body relaxing…"

"…"

These tribal Geniuses who had successfully participated in the recruitment, regardless of gender, all wore expressions of amazement…

For the Human Race growing up in the nearby tribes, entering the Nantian Gate was their lifelong dream.

Now that their dream was realized, some people were so excited they couldn't help but cry.

Xiao Fan sighed in admiration; the density of the Spiritual Qi here far exceeded his imagination.

One must know that Xiao Fan had been to many places with dense Spiritual Qi… but none could compare to this.

"I'm afraid only the Grotto-Heaven of other major prefectures would have this level of Spiritual Qi…"

Xiao Fan muttered to himself; the outside world's reputation for the Heavenly God Palace was truly not exaggerated.

This level of Spiritual Qi was probably on par with the Grotto-Heaven of other major prefectures.

And one must remember, this was just stepping into this area. It wasn't even the Grotto-Heaven of the Tianshen Prefecture yet.

If it were the Grotto-Heaven here, how dense would the Spiritual Qi be? It was unimaginable…

"Hehehe… In the future, with your Aptitude, cultivating here will yield twice the results with half the effort." Commander Qin Han looked back at the group and said with a chuckle.

"Yes!" Many bowed in salute…

In their eyes, Commander Qin Han was a high and mighty figure. He was an existence that could make the Old Ancestors of the three great super tribes bow in salute upon meeting!

"Alright, continue following me." Commander Qin Han said.

The rest of the place wasn't particularly special. It was just the density of the Spiritual Qi that made everyone marvel…

Of course, this lack of anything special only applied to Xiao Fan. But for the other tribal Geniuses, arriving here left them filled with emotion…

After entering the Nantian Gate, Xiao Fan removed his mask… Since he knew Soul Concealment, wearing a mask was useless… Besides, he had the face of Ji Bofeng right now, so what was there to fear?

…The massive and towering City Lord's Mansion… It was magnificent, with golden Dragon pillars everywhere adorned with gems of various colors, constantly emitting dazzling light…

The Spiritual Qi turned into mist, making the place look exceptionally ethereal…

City Lord Chen Xiong was sitting high on the massive golden chair in the center, looking down at the crowd below…

Whenever his gaze fell upon them, these tribal Geniuses would all lower their heads, not daring to meet his eyes…

City Lord Chen Xiong's gaze finally landed on Xiao Fan. He revealed an expression of appreciation.

This was a true Prodigy Genius… For the nearby tribes, such a super Prodigy who could challenge those of higher ranks was a rare sight in a thousand years! Such a Prodigy was worth his focused cultivation!

"I am the City Lord guarding this Nantian Gate… My name is City Lord Chen Xiong; surely you must have heard of my name." City Lord Chen Xiong smiled faintly.

Although his words were gentle, the tribal Geniuses below were filled with inexplicable awe upon hearing them… City Lord Chen Xiong of the Nantian Gate! To them, he was a high and mighty figure to be revered like a god!

Among the tribes outside the Nantian Gate, the three strongest super tribes were the Chiyue, Liangqiu, and Sikong. For other tribes, these three super tribes were transcendent existences!

But this City Lord of the Nantian Gate! He was an even greater figure who could wipe out these existences with a single word!

After hearing City Lord Chen Xiong introduce his identity, these tribal Geniuses bowed in salute one after another. They wished they could kneel on the ground and kowtow to City Lord Chen Xiong a couple of times…

Of course, there was one exception… That was Xiao Fan. He stood with his back straight and cupped his fists slightly towards City Lord Chen Xiong.

City Lord Chen Xiong narrowed his eyes and sized Xiao Fan up. "This person has a backbone of pride."… City Lord Chen Xiong muttered in his heart.

He didn't get angry; instead, he admired Xiao Fan greatly… A backbone of pride was the standard equipment for a Prodigy! The higher one's Aptitude, the stronger their arrogance!

They possessed the arrogance to look down upon the world from birth… Such people were proud and arrogant and would not bow to anyone.

But the more this was the case, the more it proved that such a person would be extraordinary in the future! Therefore, Xiao Fan's actions not only didn't anger City Lord Chen Xiong but made him appreciate him even more… This proved that Xiao Fan had a boundless future…

Of course, the premise was that this backbone of pride remained throughout. Often, there were many gifted Prodigy Geniuses who, after being forcefully defeated by others… would become dispirited and henceforth fall into mediocrity.

To put it plainly, their backbone of pride was gone, their own arrogance was gone. Such people… were not uncommon across the Nine Prefectures.

Only by becoming braver with each fight could one have the spirit to be invincible in the world.

"Very good. From today on, you are all guards of my Nantian Gate." City Lord Chen Xiong said loudly.

"Yes!" The crowd below answered in unison.

"Commander Qin Han." "Here!" "Next, assign them to their respective squads." City Lord Chen Xiong ordered Commander Qin Han.

"Understood!" Commander Qin Han replied, then looked at Xiao Fan and the others. "Follow me…" "Yes!"

Next, Xiao Fan and the others followed Commander Qin Han and left. From beginning to end, City Lord Chen Xiong had only spoken two sentences.
