Chapter 408: 405: A Narrow Victory?_1
However, Yang Chen is more subtle. He doesn’t say that none of the talents of your Canghai Sect are his opponents, but instead says who can defeat me will be rewarded with Spirit Stones! Otherwise, not giving anything to those who hang around, how can anyone be crazy enough to challenge you?
If there’s no challenge, how do we reclaim our reputation?
As soon as Yang Chen’s voice fell, not only was the Canghai Sect surprised, but other sects also heard Yang Chen’s deliberately amplified voice. Yang Chen indeed didn’t intend to hide it. On the contrary, he wanted everyone to know about his challenge to the Canghai Sect’s geniuses.
It’s more fun for everyone to see. Otherwise, how can it be called reciprocity?
“This Yang Chen is too confident, challenging all the geniuses of the Canghai Sect?”
“Isn’t he afraid of being ganged up on?”
“That Shao Changkong is not a pushover either.”
“I think this Yang Chen seems to be a bit arrogant. Now that he’s the Young Sect Master of Yuanshan Sect, he can’t even touch the south, west, and north?”
“Hmph, just wait, pride comes before a fall.”
For a time, the onlookers held different opinions and thoughts.
As for the Canghai Sect, due to Yang Chen’s provocation, after a brief silence, a commotion ensued. Quite a few fiery geniuses stood up unwillingly after hearing Yang Chen’s words, pointing at Yang Chen and shouting.
“Yang Chen, who the hell do you think you are?”
“Challenging our Canghai Sect, who do you think you are?”
“Yang Chen, I am Lu Yunxing of the Canghai Sect. I’m nineteen years old this year and considered a genius of your generation. What do you say? Do you have the courage to compete?” Lu Yunxing squinted his eyes, stood out from the crowd, and shouted.
He was eager to prove himself. For him, if he could defeat Yang Chen, it would mean he would be famous in one fell swoop. The situation of being surrounded by so many people today is quite rare.
What has always bothered Lu Yunxing is that he missed the Genius Selection Competition this year because he turned eighteen. Hence, he wanted to make a name for himself and be admired, but lacked the opportunity.
Now, the opportunity has come.
He knew that Yang Chen’s Martial Arts Cultivation during the Genius Selection Competition was at the Sixth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm. Even if it’s stronger now, it’s not that much stronger.
While his Martial Arts Cultivation is at the Ling Wu Realm Seventh Layer!
He had also heard that Yang Chen had defeated many higher-level geniuses with his Sixth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm cultivation, but since he hadn’t seen it, he naturally didn’t take it to heart. He had quite a few hidden tricks up his sleeve and didn’t feel that Yang Chen’s abilities would work on him like they had before.
This was the reason why he dared to stand up today. If he can defeat Yang Chen with his Ling Wu Realm Seventh Layer Martial Arts Cultivation, he would become famous!
“Yang Chen, let me see how powerful you really are.” Lu Yunxing’s eyes revealed an impatient look. He gritted his teeth and immediately rushed towards Yang Chen.
Yang Chen glanced at Lu Yunxing’s Ling Wu Realm Seventh Layer Martial Arts Cultivation, squinted his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the electric light crisscrossed and turned into an Electric Dragon, rushing towards Lu Yunxing.
“Just a mere Electric Dragon, you must look down on me.” Lu Yunxing sneered, using his moves to try and dissolve Yang Chen’s Electric Dragon.
However, Lu Yunxing suddenly discovered that his moves seemed to be hitting a rock with an egg against this Electric Dragon. This made him resort to a ruthless move, sending out a flurry of flames to form a stalemate with Yang Chen’s Electric Dragon.
Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation did not show up.
It’s naturally impossible for him to show his Ling Wu Realm Peak strength that hurriedly. If he reveals it so soon, would the Canghai Sect’s geniuses still dare to fight him? If he only defeats a few little shrimps, how can he really embarrass the Canghai Sect? Therefore, Yang Chen wasn’t in a hurry to use his means, even this Electric Dragon was only slightly driven by the power of the Heavenly Thunder Origin.
Yang Chen leisurely controlled the Electric Dragon, creating an illusion of a hard fight against Lu Yunxing.
“This…”
“The Young Sect Master is having a hard time dealing with just one Lu Yunxing? Among the Canghai Sect, there are more than just one or two geniuses stronger than Lu Yunxing…”
Many of the Yuanshan Sect geniuses who saw Yang Chen struggle to defeat Lu Yunxing had expressions that didn’t look good. They initially thought that Yang Chen was very powerful, with his words at the beginning being so domineering, yet now he suddenly appeared so weak, making them feel a lack of confidence.
However, for those several Half-step Yuan Martial Realm senior brothers who had witnessed Yang Chen’s shots, it wasn’t the case.
Seeing Yang Chen’s hidden clumsiness, not even using one-tenth of his strength, they could more or less guess Yang Chen’s purpose, so they naturally wouldn’t say anything.
In the end, it took about a cup of tea’s time for Yang Chen to barely secure a narrow victory and defeated Lu Yunxing.
Seeing that Yang Chen had a hard time beating Lu Yunxing, there was no lack of talents who wanted to make a name for themselves and rise to prominence by stepping on Yang Chen.
For a time, many of those in the Canghai Sect who were initially hesitant saw this and those who were at least stronger than Lu Yunxing stood up, most of them being around eighteen to twenty years old. Although they couldn’t participate in the Genius Selection Competition, they were considered to be in the same generation as Yang Chen, at least not against the rules.
Most of these geniuses have martial arts cultivation around the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Martial Realm, consciously a bit stronger than Yang Chen. They stepped forward and challenged him one after another.
Yang Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse, engaging in fights against these geniuses once again.
He Shangfeng, the Sect Leader of the Canghai Sect, was naturally present at the event for many of their geniuses to enter the Emperor’s Treasure.
In addition, He Qiushui and many other Elders were also there, just not showing themselves.
At this moment, watching the geniuses and Yang Chen’s fight, an Elder beside him couldn’t help but ask, “Sect Leader, this Yang Chen is really asking for humiliation. It seems that after the Genius Selection Competition, his strength hasn’t improved much. He even wants to show off by fighting our Canghai Sect geniuses. Does he even know his own weight?”
“Lu Yunxing is excellent, but not a first-rate genius. Yang Chen struggled to defeat him. When faced with first-rate geniuses, they will learn of the power of our Canghai Sect.”
Hearing the words of these Elders, He Qiushui frowned and said nothing.
Is it really as simple as what these Elders say?
Did Yang Chen defeat Lu Yunxing only by a narrow margin?
