Chapter 437 - 434: Identity Exposed_1
As everyone knows, Huang Cheng’s strength is at the fifth layer of the Origin Martial Realm, and no one dares to provoke him.
So when they saw Huang Cheng pass the assessment and appear here, no one spoke much. What did it have to do with them when Huang Cheng showed off his achievements? But when they heard Jiang Caiying’s words, many people were shocked. A perfect Level A – how terrifying was that?
To put it into perspective, Jiang Caiying herself was only at Level A Lower. And everyone had witnessed her strength.
“I’m at Lower B-grade.”
“I’m at Upper B-grade!”
“I’m at Perfect B-grade.”
People talked in hushed voices, and most of them attained B-grade.
Between A-grade and B-grade, it goes without saying that A-grade was better.
Not to mention, there were very few who could attain A-grade, let alone perfect A-grade. This was the most perfect and outstanding achievement.
“Who got perfect A-grade?”
“Yeah, who got such a powerful result as Perfect A-grade?”
As everyone discussed, Huang Cheng was also curious about Jiang Caiying’s words. He was proud to have achieved Level A Middle, and even managed to surpass Jiang Caiying. Yet according to her, someone had achieved Perfect A-grade, which made him feel a little frustrated.
It wasn’t like he was unhappy, but a genius like him didn’t enjoy being overshadowed.
Jiang Caiying, seeing Huang Cheng’s confusion, remained silent and simply glanced at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen, who was sitting nearby, felt somewhat embarrassed.
Huang Cheng looked at Yang Chen with a puzzled expression and couldn’t help but ask, “You’re saying he got Perfect A-grade? How is that possible? Who is he?”
It’s not surprising that Huang Cheng didn’t recognize Yang Chen because Yang Chen had changed his appearance. It’s not just Huang Cheng who wouldn’t recognize him; even those close to Yang Chen would have a hard time identifying him. The reason why Jiang Caiying recognized Yang Chen was entirely based on guesswork.
“So he got Perfect A-grade?”
“Who is this kid?”
“Yeah, I don’t recognize him at all.”
“Where did this kid come from?”
Yang Chen remained calm despite the speculation, keeping his composure. This Jiang Caiying, with her few words of praise, had actually pushed him into the spotlight. Now, even if he wanted to keep a low profile, it would be impossible.
Originally, as he sat there, no one could guess that he was Yang Chen.
Now, he had to deliberately disguise himself so that others couldn’t guess his identity.
However, just as he was thinking this way, Jiang Caiying acted as a very qualified teammate at this time. When Huang Cheng questioned her, Jiang Caiying smiled, “Isn’t it easy to guess? Huang Cheng, you must have entered the Heavenly Palace and know who was the first person to get the map.”
“The first person to get the map was Yang Chen. Yang Chen is the top genius in North Mountain County. This kid…Wait, you’re Yang Chen!” Huang Cheng finally realized and pointed at Yang Chen in shock.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but slap his forehead and roll his eyes at Jiang Caiying.
What did Jiang Caiying mean by this?
Did she have to expose his identity to be satisfied? She was definitely doing it on purpose.
What the heck was Jiang Caiying thinking?
Yang Chen couldn’t figure it out.
At this point, he was undoubtedly pushed into the spotlight in the truest sense of the word.
Everyone knew that he was Yang Chen now.
“It’s Yang Chen!”
“There’s no doubt about it. Yang Chen was rumored to have gotten the Inner Circle Treasure Map from the Heavenly Palace, and after leaving, he defeated numerous forces one after another. He then traveled all the way to Sky Capital City. This Sky Capital City was opened by him, and his Martial Arts Cultivation is on par with Yang Chen’s.”
“Is he really Yang Chen?”
Standing in the crowd, Huang Cheng couldn’t help but say, “Damn it, no wonder he could achieve Perfect A-grade. It’s this demon kid. Oh well, I admit defeat. There shouldn’t be much difference between Level A Middle and Perfect A-grade, hehehehe…”
“Perfect A-grade, no wonder. Yang Chen has always been known as a demon, and it’s not an exaggeration to call him the number one genius in North Mountain County. It’s not surprising that he achieved such excellent results!”
“Hey, kid, are you Yang Chen?”
“We’re asking you, are you Yang Chen?”
Some people were merely speculating, while others were more audacious, pointing at Yang Chen’s nose and questioning him.
Yang Chen had no intention of responding, sitting in silence with his eyes closed.
“I can see that he’s Yang Chen. There’s no need to guess. Although his appearance is different from the Yang Chen I know, his eyes, temperament, and movements are all identical to Yang Chen. I know Yang Chen very well.” At this moment, a man suddenly stood up from the crowd.
Examining the man closely, wasn’t it Han Fang of the Canghai Sect?
Han Fang, the Junior Sect Master of the Canghai Sect, was a top genius nurtured by the sect.
However, Yang Chen was curious – during this Secret Realm trip with the Tiandu Emperor, Han Fang had encountered some unknown opportunities and treasures, which allowed his Martial Arts Cultivation to advance from a Half-step Yuan Martial Realm to a genuine Yuan Martial Realm. This had undoubtedly solidified his position within the Canghai Sect.
Such a cultivation level seemed to have given Han Fang the confidence he needed to scrutinize Yang Chen with a cold expression, “Yang Chen, how come you’ve become so cowardly that you don’t even dare to reveal your identity?”
“Kid, are you Yang Chen or not?”
“I heard Yang Chen has a lot of treasures on him.”
“There’s not much space here now, and Yang Chen has nowhere to run. He has the keys to the Inner Area on him, and as long as we join forces, we can kill him at any time. What do you say, everyone, should we join forces to kill Yang Chen, and then divide the treasures and keys on his body?”
Hearing this, Yang Chen laughed coldly and immediately said, “All right, no need to speculate anymore, Han Fang. Let me tell you the truth. Yes, I am Yang Chen. As for you guys wanting to steal my keys or loot my treasures or plot to attack me together, well, I’m always ready and welcome.”
As these words fell, the surroundings became silent. Yang Chen’s domineering aura instantly spread, sweeping in all directions, shocking the onlookers.
Those who had been clamoring just now were all rendered speechless.
Yang Chen surveyed the crowd, not having to think to know that those who had been clamoring were mostly from the Canghai Sect, as well as the people who were talking about joining forces to kill him.
Of course, there were also a few people taking advantage of the chaos.
But Yang Chen was curious as to what these opportunists were capable of.
