Chapter 757: Chapter 754: Before the Trial Tower_1
As he pondered, Yang Chen watched the fight, “Interesting… Although this Feng Rulin is slightly weaker than Yang Zhi in martial arts strength, he has been able to suppress him every time. I guess he had already calculated his own abilities to suppress Yang Zhi completely before the challenge.”
As Yang Chen had this thought, the competition seemed to be coming to an end.
Feng Rulin was getting increasingly fierce and relentless in his attacks without showing any mercy. On the other hand, Yang Zhi’s momentum was getting weaker, and it seemed that his true qi was no longer able to support him in resisting Feng Rulin’s moves!
“Defeat!” Feng Rulin shouted in a cold voice.
“Not good.” Yang Zhi was shocked and pale. Looking at the true qi storm approaching in front of him, he wanted to resist but could not, retreating step by step.
When there was nowhere left to retreat, Yang Zhi had to stop, then spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Feng Rulin finished the fight with satisfaction and there was some joy in his eyes, but he still pretended to be humble and said, “Thank you for yielding!”
A trace of malice flashed in Yang Zhi’s eyes, apparently holding a grudge against Feng Rulin, but he didn’t show anything on his face.
“Haha, well done.” The high-levels of Donghuang Sect showed joy on their faces.
“This Feng Rulin is also a top genius.”
“It seems that Feng Rulin is unwilling to let Yang Chen steal the limelight, so he also stepped forward.”
“I think Feng Rulin is more than enough to dominate the others!”
“Don’t say that too soon. Have you forgotten about the genius Wu Sheng sent by the Royal Family?”
“This… I almost forgot about him.”
As everyone discussed, they all remembered the genius sent by the Royal Family, Wu Sheng. Their gazes turned to the forces not far away. This force seemed low-key, but their clothes and aura were all higher than the others.
There were only three people, but the presence of these three made everyone unwilling to underestimate them.
The youngest of them was obviously Wu Sheng, who had been mentioned earlier.
“Even without mentioning Wu Sheng, Feng Rulin is not on the top. There are many hidden talents among the various forces at this time. Hehe, like Yang Chen, who knows when there will be another top genius emerging? It’s better not to draw conclusions too soon.”
“Yeah, it’s better not to jump to conclusions.”
Now everyone had become smarter. In case another Yang Chen’s type appeared, the ones who would be embarrassed would be themselves?
As everyone discussed, Yang Chen’s eyes were secretly observing the Wu Sheng who had just been mentioned.
This Wu Sheng was standing with his hands on his back, dressed in a bright and beautiful brocade robe. He looked like he was in his thirties. What was most important was the aura emanating from him, which was even stronger than Feng Rulin’s.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but take a few more looks.
There was a contemptuous attitude in Wu Sheng’s eyes, as if he regarded everyone around him as ants.
“Wu Sheng… Wu Changkong.” Yang Chen thought to himself with his hands on his back.
A thousand years ago, when North Mountain County was still a prosperous place among the Thirty-six Eastern Counties shortly after the Great Emperor’s death, it attracted the attention of the royal genius Wu Changkong. Wu Changkong was a royal genius.
When Yang Chen thought of Wu Changkong, he also thought of Huang Taiji, his forefather who taught him Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts.
Yang Chen had always admired and respected Huang Taiji. This was because Huang Taiji’s Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts had saved him from disasters several times. No doubt, Huang Taiji was a rare genius.
At that time, Huang Taiji was a bright talent and created Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts, which should have left a lasting legacy for future generations to sing about. Unfortunately, he died young due to the jealousy of the royal genius, Wu Changkong!
Although Huang Taiji did not ask Yang Chen to take revenge and did not expect him to take revenge against the royal family, Yang Chen still kept these things in mind.
Huang Taiji did not ask him to take revenge because Huang Taiji was thinking about him.
If his strength was not enough, there would be no need to cause trouble with the royal family.
However, if his strength was enough, that would be another story.
Right now, it seemed a bit of a joke to make trouble for the royal family, but keeping an eye on them was always the right thing to do.
As expected, the royal family’s geniuses were really geniuses.
Wu Sheng and Wu Changkong had the same last name. It was unclear whether they were all of the same royal family surname or whether the former and the latter had an inseparable relationship.
While Yang Chen was thinking about this, the quota of thirty people entering the Trial Tower was decided.
“Alright, the thirty victorious contestants, step forward one by one,” said Li Zhijiao, an elder of Haohai Main City in a Taoist robe.
He didn’t stand up for Lin Yunfeng when he was bullied earlier. Now that the thirty spots had been decided, he hurried out with a flattering smile, “Now, let me lead you, young friends, to our Haohai Main City Trial Tower!”
Li Zhijiao’s strength was only at the Half-Step Earth Martial Realm, which was not considered anything special in the eyes of the others.
Therefore, while he was talking, he was also laughing and trying not to upset anyone.
However, everyone wouldn’t bother with Li Zhijiao regarding the Trial Tower. The thirty victorious contestants all stepped forward one by one.
To Yang Chen’s surprise, Wu Sheng was among them!
He carefully observed the rest and found that there were more than ten Half-Step True Martial Realm contestants, while the others had actually reached the True Martial Realm and above.
“Are these the geniuses cultivated by the various major forces?” Yang Chen wondered.
Yang Chen couldn’t afford to underestimate anyone. The situation at the moment was truly chaotic.
Li Zhijiao, the elder of Haohai Main City, saw that the thirty people had gathered and took the lead with a smile, “Young friends, please follow me!”
In an instant, the thirty geniuses followed Li Zhijiao closely, and the high-levels of their respective factions also closely followed. The crowd marched directly to the Haohai Main City’s Trial Tower, all eager to see the excellent performance of their own geniuses inside the Trial Tower.
In just a short while, the crowd arrived in front of the Trial Tower. Yang Chen glanced at the tower and saw that it was no different from the trial towers of other main city forces. The others, like him, had all experienced the trial tower and had no curiosity about it.
Only Li Zhijiao was respectful, treating everyone present like his elders with complete politeness.
“Everyone, I will now select individuals according to the order of victory. The one who wins the challenge first will enter the Trial Tower first. If no one has any objections, I will start selecting.” Li Zhijiao said with a smile.
