Chapter 661: Chapter 658: Yang Chen Enters the Tower!_1
Undeniably, the Green Lotus Sect has now become the focus. Of course, it’s not because of the Green Lotus Sect itself, but because both the Zhenwu Main City and Heiyun Main City, which also belong to the three major sects, have been utterly defeated, and even their last fig leaf has been lifted. Losing face, everyone is curious about how the Green Lotus Sect will respond under the fierce attack of Huangsha City.
No, to be precise, it’s not a fierce attack…
It’s an insurmountable height.
Li Ruoxiang naturally saw that everyone had put their focus on her. Now, she glanced at Yang Chen with her peripheral vision. Although Yang Chen concealed it perfectly, she still noticed a hint of reluctance from him.
Obviously, Yang Chen didn’t intend to draw attention.
This made her somewhat troubled. At this point, she couldn’t tell whether Yang Chen was simply unwilling to fight or… if he didn’t have the ability to do so anymore.
Anyway, seeing the spiritless appearance on Yang Chen’s face, she wouldn’t force him to fight like this.
“What does Sect Leader Li mean?” Mu Zhijiao asked again when Li Ruoxiang didn’t speak.
His voice became heavier, showing his aggressive intention.
Li Ruoxiang wouldn’t fail to see Mu Zhijiao’s current arrogant attitude. With her hands behind her back, she said, “Mu Zhijiao, I need to prepare for the last quota. You can skip our Green Lotus Sect for now and proceed with other sects.”
Hearing her words, everyone sighed.
Was the Green Lotus Sect afraid?
Although Li Ruoxiang’s words seemed tactful, they also exposed her insecurity.
Mu Zhijiao was thrilled.
Although Li Ruoxiang didn’t actually fight with her words, it was almost as if she had already lost. It seemed that everyone was frightened by He Guang’s record that he invited them to. Of course, it wouldn’t be that easy to break the 15th floor of the Trial Tower.
Since Li Ruoxiang decided to skip the quota, he naturally wouldn’t refuse her request. He said, “In that case, let’s start with the Cangyun Sect.”
Mu Zhijiao continued to arrange the contest.
Cangyun Sect sent their genius to challenge the Trial Tower.
At this moment, the Cangyun Sect had already given up hope of obtaining the treasures awarded by Huangsha City. Huangsha City had been fearless from the beginning, and they had set a trap for everyone. Victory wouldn’t come easy. They could only shake their heads.
Fortunately, their genius had one chance to challenge the Trial Tower for free, which is not a bad thing after all.
Like this, the Cangyun Sect’s turn was over, and it was clear that they still couldn’t catch up with He Guang’s height.
As the contest went on, the forces became smaller and the martial artists weaker, it would naturally be even more unlikely to surpass He Guang’s height.
It all went by in the blink of an eye.
After this round, let alone reaching He Guang’s height, few people even managed to reach the tenth floor and surpass Zhang Huafeng.
Mu Zhijiao became happier and happier. At this moment, he couldn’t stop grinning, and it was evident how delightful he was in his laughter. He laughed loudly, “Sect Leader Li, now all the sects have sent their representatives and finished their turns. It is only your Green Lotus Sect’s last quota that remains. What is your sect’s intention?”
Upon hearing this, Li Ruoxiang rubbed her eyebrows and then looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen still seemed unwilling, but what did that have to do with her?
Li Ruoxiang said calmly, “Young friend Yang Chen, give it a try.”Knowing that he couldn’t avoid it, Yang Chen could only respond with a bitter smile, “I’ll follow Sect Leader Li’s instructions.”
With those words, Yang Chen stood up.
As Yang Chen stood up, the entire audience was buzzing with discussion.
“So it turns out that Yang Chen is representing the Green Lotus Sect in the competition.”
“The Green Lotus Sect invited Yang Chen to participate?”
“But what difference will it make? Look at Yang Chen’s dispirited appearance; where is his confidence?” Zhang Huafeng mockingly said, “I don’t think he can even pass the tenth floor. It was undoubtedly a grave mistake for the Green Lotus Sect to place their hopes on him.”
His words sparked a chorus of agreement.
“Young Master Zhang is right. When he provoked Yang Chen just now, Yang Chen didn’t dare to respond. It’s obvious that Yang Chen has no confidence. If he can’t even beat Young Master Zhang, he has no hope on the fifteenth floor.”
“Yeah, it must be because the Green Lotus Sect got entranced by Yang Chen’s title of Eastern Number One Genius.”
“Hehe, let’s just watch quietly. It’s not a waste of time to witness the Eastern Number One Genius make a fool of himself.”
High-level power players aside, loose cultivator martial artists were the most eager to mock. With Zhang Huafeng fanning the flames, the loose cultivator martial artists naturally echoed his sentiment.
“Are you confident?” Li Ruoxiang curiously asked.
Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows, “I wouldn’t say I’m confident, but I’ll give it my best shot.”
With that, Yang Chen stood up.
As Yang Chen became the representative for the Green Lotus Sect’s final quota, Mu Zhijiao squinted his eyes.
“Who is he?” He Guang arrogantly raised his head, seemingly looking down on Yang Chen.
Mu Zhijiao said, “His name is Yang Chen. He comes from a remote place called North Mountain County. Due to his outstanding performance in the Black Dragon Sect, he gained the title of Eastern Number One Genius and became widely known.”
“Humph, it seems the Thirty-six Eastern Counties have really declined. A martial artist at the Yuanwu Realm Fifth Layer can be considered the first genius,” Fu Qingqing sneered disdainfully, “If someone like him can be called the first genius, then what kind of superpower is the Black Dragon Sect? They have truly deteriorated!”
“It’s great that he’s a piece of trash. There’s no hope for him to surpass the level He Guang has reached,” said someone.
He Guang slowly said, “Him? Haha, Mu Zhijiao, if you’re comparing this kid to me, that’s quite unpleasant!”
Realizing that he said the wrong thing and upset He Guang, Mu Zhijiao knew he couldn’t be careless due to He Guang’s status. He hurriedly laughed, “A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, young friend He Guang, forgive me…”
He Guang didn’t say anything else and just watched Yang Chen step by step into the Trial Tower.
Yang Chen didn’t care about the other people’s gazes as he stepped into the Trial Tower!
As he entered the Trial Tower, he was immediately teleported to the twenty-first floor for the Yuanwu Realm challenge!
The surrounding scene changed; it wasn’t a desert but a desolate battlefield.
As he appeared on the battlefield, the rocks on the ground gradually merged to form a Stone Monster. Upon its appearance, it stomped on the ground, clawing and gnashing its teeth as it charged toward Yang Chen.
“A Stone Monster… with the same Martial Arts Cultivation Level as me. The scenery and opponent’s appearance have changed, but I don’t know what differences this Stone Monster has compared to the Sand Soldiers,” Yang Chen muttered to himself.
