Chapter 663: Chapter 660: Rising Rapidly!_1
Many loose cultivators were jealous of those geniuses who were more powerful than them. They believed that these geniuses’ abilities were not due to their better talents, but rather due to their better circumstances. So when some geniuses met an early demise, these loose cultivators would not hesitate to make some sarcastic remarks.
Yang Chen was in such a situation now.
It was not that everyone believed Yang Chen lacked the strength.
It was just that Yang Chen had spent too much time on the first level, which made many people think that he was not up to par and not capable.
“I bet Yang Chen won’t make it through the second level.”
“I bet Yang Chen will fail within a cup of tea!”
Zhang Huafeng saw that the bet was getting more and more heated, so he stepped up and slapped out a bag of Spirit Stones: “I bet fifty top-grade Spirit Stones that this Yang Chen won’t make it through the second level! Hahaha!”
Since Zhang Huafeng hadn’t seen Yang Chen’s fight with Luo Yunhu, he thought Yang Chen was just an overrated and mediocre talent. He trusted what he saw with his own eyes and only knew that Yang Chen had taken a long time to pass the first level!
So he believed that the second level would be a difficult hurdle for Yang Chen.
“Hehe, I bet too…”
Just as many people were enthusiastically betting and even using Spirit Stones to bet, the next moment, the light on the second floor suddenly went out, and the light on the third floor lit up.
When they saw this, those who just bet on Yang Chen to fail on the second level were all dumbfounded.
What happened?
“No way, could it be that the Trial Tower made a mistake? Yang Chen took an hour to pass the first level, so how did he pass the second level so quickly?”
“Something’s wrong, definitely wrong!”
But no matter how wrong it was, no one dared to question the effectiveness of the Trial Tower.
The Trial Tower was made by the Royal Family. Would you dare to question its effectiveness? Are you joking?
At this moment, Zhang Huafeng’s expression changed as well, and after a shock in his heart, he laughed, “It was a slip of the tongue; I bet Yang Chen can’t make it through the third level!”
For Zhang Huafeng, although he could afford to splurge fifty top-grade Spirit Stones, it did not mean that he would not feel the pain when splurging. He immediately changed his words, changing the originally said second floor to the third floor. He felt that it was only Yang Chen’s luck on the second floor, like a dying ember, and that the third floor, which was much stronger than the second floor, would expose the true Yang Chen.
But at the very moment, his words fell off…
Suddenly, the light on the third floor went out, and the light on the fourth floor lit up.
The interval was merely the time for three to four sentences.
It was during these three to four sentences that Zhang Huafeng changed his tune.
However, it was a pity that his change seems not to be clever at all.
“Young Master Zhang, you’re sure it’s the third level, right? If there’s no mistake, these fifty top-grade Spirit Stones are mine.” The loose cultivator who had bet on Yang Chen’s victory smirked and directly took the bag of Spirit Stones.
His face was also full of disbelief. He initially just used some spare money to bet on Yang Chen’s victory without holding too much hope. Yet Yang Chen surprised everyone by literally dropping their jaws.
Zhang Huafeng watched as the storage bag was taken away, his heart bleeding.
But that wasn’t what made him feel the most ashamed and humiliated!
It was because…
Yang Chen seemed to be on drugs, as the levels of the Trial Tower continued to rise rapidly!
After the third level, the fourth level!
After the fourth level, the fifth level.
Then the sixth, seventh, and eighth levels…
Yang Chen made it all the way to the tenth level in one breath!
The key point was that even after reaching the tenth level, Yang Chen still showed no signs of stopping and continued to ascend with ease.Li Ruoxiang’s eyes lit up as she watched, realizing that Yang Chen had finally started to exert his strength. This kid had always been so unenthused, but it turns out it was all an act in the end!
Yang Chen’s continuous breakthroughs had indeed startled everyone.
Now, no one even dared to bet on him.
And there wasn’t even the slightest bit of discussion about him.
Especially Zhang Huafeng, who didn’t even know what to say because Yang Chen had actually broken through the tenth floor and entered the eleventh floor!
This made Zhang Huafeng feel like his face had been slapped hard, burning with pain!
Eleventh floor…
How did he mock Yang Chen from the beginning?
What about now?
Yang Chen used his actions to slap his face and let him know how stupid and childish his behavior was!
That’s not all!
As the saying goes, there are many who add flowers to the brocade, and many who add frost to the snow!
Now that Yang Chen had rushed to the eleventh floor in one breath, he had re-established himself as the Eastern Number One Genius in name and reality. However, Zhang Huafeng, who had initially ridiculed Yang Chen, suddenly became the subject of many people’s discussion.
“I remember that when Zhang Huafeng provoked Yang Chen just now, Yang Chen didn’t pay any attention to him. At first, I thought Yang Chen was scared. Now I think about it, Yang Chen was not scared at all. He simply didn’t take Zhang Huafeng seriously.”
“It’s true, when reaching Yang Chen’s level, it’s not like any random person can get a response from him. If he really stooped down to that level, wouldn’t he be looking for trouble every day? He didn’t even take Zhang Huafeng seriously at all, but that Zhang Huafeng still doesn’t know any of this and continues to jump around. Now it seems that Zhang Huafeng is nothing more than a clown.”
“That’s right, how did Zhang Huafeng provoke Yang Chen at the beginning? Yang Chen didn’t even bother responding. Look at Yang Chen’s breadth of mind and demeanor!”
For a moment, everyone quietly discussed the matter, but even if they spoke softly, Zhang Huafeng could hardly fail to hear it.
He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!
However, what could he say to refute them?
He had indeed provoked Yang Chen at the time, and he had done so in the most high-profile way possible, only for Yang Chen to completely ignore him.
Now looking back, isn’t he just a clown?
This made Zhang Huafeng angry: “Why are you all celebrating so early? The title of Eastern Number One Genius isn’t Yang Chen’s to hold yet. Wait until he breaks He Guang’s previous record before you say anything. If he can’t break through, he is ultimately only a nominal genius!”
As Zhang Huafeng’s words fell,
The light on the eleventh floor went out, and Yang Chen arrived at the twelfth floor!
This made Zhang Huafeng’s heart jump, and he glared fiercely around, gritting his teeth. The loose repairers and various forces, due to Zhang Huafeng’s status, did not actually cause any real trouble with Zhang Huafeng.
Zhang Huafeng didn’t know how many times he had cursed Yang Chen in his heart.
As for Yang Chen breaking through the twelfth floor, it caused a climax among the entire crowd, including Mu Zhijiao, He Guang, and Fu Qingqing, who were also shocked by Yang Chen.
If Yang Chen had just barely entered the twelfth floor, it would have been fine.
But that’s not the case with Yang Chen!
Except for the first floor, Yang Chen seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, soaring up all the way, unimpeded!
Even on the twelfth floor, Yang Chen was still the same!
As for He Guang, it was alright, but Fu Qingqing knew very well that she had used the strength of nine bulls and two tigers just to break through the eleventh floor and enter the twelfth floor. She ultimately had to use all of her cards to break through the twelfth floor and finally enter the thirteenth floor, where she stopped.
While for Yang Chen…
Still delivered ten updates as promised, cough cough, just show some appreciation, okay?
