Chapter 202 - 202: 199: The Battle Begins_l
At this moment, the two Ming Emperor Sect geniuses, a man and a woman, following Huang Chi-Yang had an air of superiority between their brows. Especially the young man, holding his shoulders, half-squinting his eyes, as if
looking down on everyone, even treating Huang Chi-Yang in the same way, “Huang Chi-yang, that youngster just now is called Yang Chen? He is the reinforcement sent by Jin Cheng? How strong is he?”
Despite being treated with disdain, Huang Chi-Yang didn’t show any anger. On the contrary, he appeared sycophantic, like a grandson, and chuckled, “Young Master Liu, you don’t have to worry. I originally thought that Jin Cheng had sent someone fierce, but it’s just him. Heh, if it’s him, you can rest assured!”
The young man known as Liu Shao seemed interested and said, “Oh? What’s the story?”
Huang Chi-Yang told the story of his encounter with Yang Chen to the two of them.
Upon hearing this, the two of them burst into laughter.
The Ming Emperor Sect’s young girl said, “So, it turned out to be a wild kid from the Great Wilderness. He just somehow managed to climb up the high branch of a humble City Lord’s Mansion in Liaocheng. Hmph, what a disappointment!”
Upon hearing his junior sister’s words, the young man, Liu Taixing, showed an ingratiating expression, “Junior sister, don’t worry. I’ll teach that kid a lesson soon and let him know the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth. As soon as I get the treasure from the secret realm, I’ll give it to you!”
“Really?” The beautiful girl from Ming Emperor Sect smiled slightly, seemingly delighted, but the subtle expression in her eyes made it easy to see that she didn’t take Liu Taixing seriously.
“Hmph, a mere Liu Taixing trying to please me? My target is the genius from the inner sect.” The Ming Emperor Sect girl thought to herself.
Liu Taixing and the girl were both outer sect disciples of the Ming Emperor Sect. Liu Taixing had repeatedly tried to win her favor, and his intentions were all too obvious. However, she never took him seriously and merely used him as a pawn. Her goal was to hook up with those inner sect geniuses.
By that time, she would naturally leap to the top and become an inner sect genius.
This time she heard that there was a treasure in the secret realm, which was admired by a genius in the inner sect. If she could get the treasure, she could try to get close to that genius, and by then…
Just when Liu Taixing was trying to please her, she would use the treasure he gave her to please someone else!
Thinking about this, the Ming Emperor Sect girl Wen Zi felt elated.
Liu Taixing apparently didn’t know the girl’s thoughts yet, and stared at Yang
Chen not far away, with a disdainful expression in his eyes, “Just a kid at the Refinement Realm Peak daring to participate in such a competition. It seems he has never seen the world!”
Yang Chen and Jin Cheng quickly found a place to rest.
Soon, a small group of people hurried in. Seeing this group, Jin Cheng’s face was filled with smiles, “It turns out that Young Master Ming has arrived!” “Young Master Jin!” The young man leading the group said respectfully.
“Young Master Ming, I hope you’ve been well!” Jin Cheng said warmly, “Let me introduce you to Yang Chen here. This is another genius I invited. His name is Ming Jie, the top genius of the Zhu Family in Liaocheng. He reached the Spirit
Martial Realm at the age of 16, and now he’s at the first level of Spirit Martial
Realm!”
Young Master Ming glanced at Yang Chen as he was being introduced, and smiled, “This is…?”
Jin Cheng spoke cheerfully, “This is a brilliant talent who came out of the Great
Wilderness, named Yang Chen!”
Jin Cheng didn’t introduce Yang Chen’s martial arts strength but simply mentioned the Great Wilderness.
Upon hearing the words “Great Wilderness,” Young Master Ming raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said indifferently, “Oh!”
He had no intention of greeting Yang Chen, obviously losing interest in him the moment he heard about the Great Wilderness- His eyes were full of a sense
of superiority. A person who came out of the Great Wilderness was also worthy to be considered his brother?
Seeing this scene, Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Although he didn’t know why Jin Cheng purposely hid his martial arts cultivation while introducing him, Jin Cheng must have had a reason for doing so.
Yang Chen didn’t bother and sat down cross-legged, waiting patiently.
Soon, Rainbow whispered, “Young Master, that so-called Young Master Ming is talking bad about you.”
“Oh?” Yang Chen was intrigued and unleashed his soul, revealing a cold smile.
“Young Master Jin, in my opinion, I alone should be enough to deal with the geniuses sent by Huang Chi-yang. Is there any need to find another trash?” Young Master Ming wore a familiar face with Jin Cheng, “A genius from the Great Wilderness? That’s just a genius in the Great Wilderness. In Liaocheng, he’s nothing! There’s no need to bring him out just to broaden his horizons.”
“Oh, Young Master Ming is overthinking it. You are still the main force today.” Jin Cheng stroked his chin without defending Yang Chen.
This put Young Master Ming at ease.
Soon, the time it takes for a cup of tea quietly passed, and the third group of people arrived slowly.
This third group was the Sun Family force of Zan City mentioned by Jin Cheng before.
Similar to Jin Cheng’s group, the Sun Family of Zan City also had several old fellows behind them. At a glance, Yang Chen, with Rainbow’s help, identified one of them as a half-step Yuan Martial Realm master, just like He Liancheng.
Similarly, the Sun Family of Zan City had two geniuses wearing sect robes with them. After Jin Cheng’s detailed introduction just now, Yang Chen stroked his chin and roughly understood the situation.
“This is the force of the Taotu Sect?” Yang Chen muttered to himself as he looked at their robes.
“It seems that both parties have arrived. Since that’s the case, let’s discuss the matter of competing for quotas.” The half-step Yuan Martial Realm elder from Zan City Sun Family stepped forward with a confident smile.
Jin Cheng and Huang Chi-Yang also came forward as they saw this elder, both surprised, “Sun Zhenghao, Elder Sun. You’re here too!”
“Hehe, I just came out of seclusion and entered the half-step Yuan Martial Realm, so I came to join the fun,” the half-step Yuan Martial Realm elder said with a faint smile.
“Of course, we don’t mind!” Neither Jin Cheng nor Huang Chi-Yang were intimidated as they had equally strong masters behind them.
“In that case, let’s discuss the rules now. As we said before, we’ll have a ring battle. Whoever comes first will enter the secret realm first, followed by the second one after a delay of one hour, and the third one after a delay of half a day!” Sun Zhenghao stroked his beard and said slowly.
“I, Jin Cheng, have no problem with that!”
“Neither do I.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhenghao’s eyes revealed a hint of his plan succeeding, “Alright, then let’s start the competition!”
