Chapter 313
Chapter 313 – Selective Death
“Little Chen, there are nine paths in front of us, how are we going to choose?”
Han Yan turned to Jiang Chen and asked. Han Yan’s image of Jiang Chen’s omnipotence was deeply rooted in his mind, that’s why whenever they encountered a situation with a lot of variables, Han Yan would just turn to Jiang Chen for his opinion.
“Anything could happen in this kind of situation that has a lot of variables; each path can lead us to anything. Let’s just wait and see.”
Jiang Chen replied as he stared at all nine paths, carefully examining each of the. But, he couldn’t tell any of them apart.
“Why are you losing your head? I’m sure there are someone else who are more nervous than us, just let those impatient people enter first.”
Nangong Wentian crossed his arms in front of his chest. His expression was a calm one.
Time passed by, and crowds of people stood in front of the nine paths. None of them dared make the first move, but, it seemed like they were getting more and more relentless. It was just as Nangong Wentian had said; some people were starting to get impatient.
Pat!
The Golden Lion grabbed the young man’s shoulder and said, “You go.”
“Senior, please spare my life, I don’t want to die now!”
The young man nearly pissed his pants, and he repeatedly cursed the Golden Lion inwardly. So many warriors had died, so sending him in was just like killing him. He also didn’t think he was a man with a great destiny either.
“Just go, you might be able to survive.”
With tremendous force, the Golden Lion threw the young man onto one of the paths as if he was throwing a kite. A pitiful shriek immediately left the young man’s mouth, and his face turned red. The strength of a Combat Soul warrior was not something he could resist.
Plop!
The young man’s butt collided with the entrance of the path. He was incredibly scared, and his body was violently trembling. His eyes were closed, and his pants were wet… he really pissed himself out of fear…
A minute passed by, and the young man didn’t explode into a blood mist. Slowly, he opened his eyes and found out he was sitting on the path, and he wasn’t dead! Without hesitating, he jumped up from where he sat, and stood up straightly.
“Wahaha, daddy is still alive, daddy is a man with a great destiny as well!”
The young man was very excited; he was still alive! Immediately, he turned to the Golden Lion and bowed. After that, he walked further along the path.
“What happened? Why did some men die, while others didn’t?”
This was the biggest mystery that took place within the minds of those within the crowds, a mystery everyone were having a hard time figuring out.
“Little Chen, do you know the reason behind this?”
Han Yan asked.
“I understand now. These paths are actually all the same, but they have a selective process. Have you realized by now? Those who survived are all young men, and those who died in an instant were all old. That means, only those within certain age range can enter without getting hurt. As for those who are older, once they step onto the path, they will immediately be killed.”
Jiang Chen didn’t lower his voice, so everyone could hear what he said.
“What Brother Jiang Chen said is correct. If my guess is correct, those under 30 will be able to enter. As for those above 30… looks like we aren’t destined to get any treasures…”
The Golden Lion said in a depressed tone. All the Combat Soul warriors felt slightly depressed at the moment. All of them were clearly older than 30.
“Haha, now I understand! This was made only for the young ones! All of you are too old, and don’t have much potential, so the fortune of this Island of Ice isn’t for you!”
A young man burst into laughter, then he flew toward one of the paths, soon disappearing from everyone’s eyes. Indeed, nothing bad had happened to him.
“It might not be limited to those under 30, I am 31 years old this year, so I might be able to enter as well.”
“Why don’t you give it a try?”
“Alright, I’ll give it a try right now!”
The man walked straight forward to one of the paths. He was really confident in himself, and thought he was still young, as he was only 30-one years old. But too bad, he only realized his mistake upon stepping onto the path.
After the man exploded into a blood mist, the crowds finally understood the rules. Many people became despondent. But, as for those youngsters, they were really excited! The Island of Ice didn’t welcome anyone, it only welcomed those from the younger generation! With this, the competition immediately became less tense.
Looking at all those young men under 30 stepping onto the paths, Han Yan and Nangong Wentian’s lips curved upwards at the same time.
“Hehe, fighting the younger generation sure is fun! Little Chen, let’s go together!”
Nangong Wentian turned to Jiang Chen and said.
However, Jiang Chen on the other side was frowning. According to his body’s age, he was only 16 years old right now, not even 17. But, as for his soul, he was an old monster who had lived for millenniums. If this was counted as his actual age, he would exploded in an instant.
This situation caused Jiang Chen to be at a loss. It wouldn’t be any fun if it actually judged by the age of one’s soul.
