Chapter 1268

After making breakfast, Yvonne looked at Samuel nervously. Samuel ate as if it was a delicacy. He kept praising Yvonne, which slightly eased Yvonne's tension. After breakfast, Samuel left Hillside Villa under the gaze of his family. After this farewell, no one knew when they would meet again. When Yvonne returned home with tears in her eyes, she tried her own breakfast and cried loudly. For Yvonne, who didn't cook often, it was obviously impossible for her to make a delicious breakfast. The food was so salty that she couldn't swallow it. Samuel still ate so much, which made Yvonne’s heart ache so much that she couldn't stop crying. At the gate of the villa area on Cloudridge, Samuel and Jiang Yingying got in the car prepared by Elder Yi. "Since we are going to the Tianqi era, let me introduce the situation of the Tianqi era to you first." After getting into the car, Elder Yi said to Samuel. Samuel nodded. He had been curious about it for a long time. "The existence of the Tianqi Realm is for a special task, which you will know in the future. Let's not talk about it now. What I want to tell you is that there are also levels in the Tianqi Realm. The higher the level of the person, the higher his status is in the Tianqi Realm." "Among the four levels of heaven, earth, black, and yellow, the Heaven level is the highest, which is the core member of the Tianqi Realm. The Yellow level is the characters on the edge of the Tianqi Realm, and it is the junction between the Tianqi Realm and the secular world." "Since there are levels, there must be a way to get a promotion," Samuel said. "Yes, there will be a ranking competition every year. As long as you participate in the competition, you can improve your level, and the level competition will begin next month. I've signed up for all the ranking games for you," Elder Yi said. He had already arranged this matter for Samuel in advance. Without thinking, he knew what the current Tianqi thought of this matter. It must have been a big mess. After all, since the establishment of the Tianqi era, no one had participated in all of the ranking contests once. "I've just joined the Tianqi realm. You don't want me to advance to the Heaven level, do you?" Samuel asked. "It's not that I want to, but that you have to do it." Elder Yi said with a serious look. "Has anyone ever done such a high requirement before?" Samuel asked curiously. "No, so this is the chance for you to amaze the world with a single strike," Elder Yi said. Samuel looked fiercely at Elder Yi and said, "Old man, you don't want to kill me, do you? No one has ever done it. Why do you think I can do it?" "Don't tell me that you are afraid?" Elder Yi had purposefully provoked Samuel. With Samuel's mentality, he thought that Samuel would definitely not accept these words of his. "I'm afraid, of course, I'm afraid. I don't want to die." Samuel’s answer was completely contrary to the guesses of Elder Yi. This not only made Elder Yi and Fang Zhan, who were driving, not knowing how to deal with it, but also stunned. Samuel continued to say, "I have a wife and child now. I can't die so easily. You'd better help me cancel it. After all, fists and feet don't have eyes." Elder Yi couldn't help touching his nose awkwardly. Why didn't this guy play cards according to the routine? It completely disrupted his plan. "Don't you want to make a blockbuster?" Elder Yi tried to persuade Samuel. However, Samuel's stance was very firm. Because for him now, nothing was more important than his life. Yvonne and Han Nian were still waiting for him at home. He must go back safely. "What's the use of amazed people with a single brilliant feat? A person only has one life. If he dies, there will be nothing left," Samuel said. This logic made it impossible for Elder Yi to refute. Just as he was thinking about how to persuade Samuel, Fang Zhan, who was driving, suddenly said, "Now everyone in Tianqi knows that you are going to participate in the grading contest. If you quit now, you will be a joke in Tianqi." Elder Yi's heart was filled with joy. These words should have scared Samuel out of his wits. But what Samuel said next made him feel desperate. "I've been in Cloud City for three years. Isn't it a joke to be laughed at by a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law? When have I ever cared about it?" Elder Yi was completely desperate. He completely ignored the fact that Samuel grew up in Cloud City. If he cared about his reputation, how could he endure humiliation in Cloud City for three years? For him, this was a common occurrence. He did not even bother to explain or resist. Elder Yi took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I want you to do this for another purpose." "I guessed it. Hurry up and say it. If you can convince me, I will show it to those people." Samuel said faintly. With his attitude, it seemed that as long as he wanted, he could achieve the expectations of Elder Yi. "I will leave the Tianqi, and I want to hand over the four gates to you. So I need you to have enough deterrence to control the four gates," Elder Yi said. For the time being, Samuel could not understand what the four sects were like in the Tianqi realm. However, he could imagine how supreme authority Elder Yi’s position in the four sects represented. Elder Yi, however, was going to give this power to him, which was beyond Samuel's expectation. "Where are you going?" Samuel said with a frown. "It is a very dangerous place where hundreds of people have been to since the Tianqi era, but none of them have come back alive. So I must arrange for the future of the four gates. If you want to know where that place is, I will naturally tell you when you are promoted to Heaven Level. Because of this secret, only the core of Heaven Level can know it." Elder Yi explained. Only the core of the Heaven Level was qualified to know about it! Obviously, this was not an ordinary place, and it was very likely to be the biggest secret of Tianqi. "Even Lin Tong didn’t know it? He's the God's favored son of Tianqi," Samuel said doubtfully. Elder Yi shook his head and said, "Although he is God's favored one, his strength has not reached Heaven Class. He is only at Earth Class now." Lin Tong had indeed made great achievements in the Tianqi era, and he was also the youngest among the younger generation whose strength had been promoted the fastest. However, the Heaven Level test was not something that Lin Tong now could deal with. Even until now, Lin Tong had never taken part in the Heaven Level test. The promotion of one's position was the most special part of the Heaven Level. It was also the part that was the easiest to lose one's life. No one was willing to give it a try before making full preparation. "It seems that it's not easy to reach Heaven-level. Don't you intend to tell me the way of promotion?" Samuel said to Elder Yi with dissatisfaction. "Except for Heaven-level masters, other levels of promotion are the top three of the competition, only the top three are qualified to be promoted. Heaven-level masters have to pass the special test of Tianqi. This test is called Devil King's Cave. I can't tell you the situation inside." Elder Yi said. "Devil King’s Cave, it sounds like it's a place that's going to take my life. I think you're trying to kill me." Samuel curled his lips. He was very dissatisfied with this. However, inside his heart, he was eager to give it a try. "When you know the secret of Tianqi, you will understand why I am doing this. For me, this is a matter of no choice, and I have to face it," Elder Yi said. Feeling the heaviness in Elder Yi's tone, Samuel was more curious about what the so-called secret of Tianqi was. However, he knew that even if he asked it now, it would be useless. It was impossible for Elder Yi to tell him. The only way he could know was to become a core member of the Heaven Department. "Since that's the case, I can give it a try. It shouldn't be difficult for me." Samuel said as he patted his chest. However, this action was not to show his confidence. Instead, it was to boost his courage. He hung the two skulls on his chest. According to his encounter with Jiang Yingying, Samuel was sure that their power came from these two skulls. Although he did not know if these two skulls would continue to make him stronger, with this special power, Samuel had the confidence to deal with anything. "It's unfair to you, but you have to do it. I hope you can understand me," Elder Yi said with a sigh. "By the way, I'm your apprentice to you, aren't I?" Samuel suddenly asked. Elder Yi did not formally accept Samuel as a disciple. Moreover, the relationship between the two of them was not considered master and disciple, but he did say that to the public. "That's right." "Okay, I will try my best to give you some face in front of outsiders, but if I accidentally forget, don't blame me." These words made Elder Yi's face turn black. There were countless people who wanted to be his disciple, yet Samuel was showing such an indifferent attitude!
