Yang Chen didn’t doubt this, just like the Black Dragon Sect was able to send only a few second-tier geniuses for the Tiandu Emperor’s treasure, such as Yu Feilong, who was killed by Yang Chen. Yu Feilong was a second-tier genius in the Black Dragon Sect but had already reached the sixth level of the Origin Martial Realm.

This level of martial arts cultivation simply trampled over the geniuses of other forces.

Everyone was apprehensive about the first team of the Black Dragon Sect, as they didn’t know much about their strength at the moment.

Fu Longyue smiled as he saw the effect had been achieved, stroking his chin. However, he wasn’t going to send their genius out right away – that would make it clear to others that he was trying to assert dominance.

If the Black Dragon Sect didn’t make a move, there would naturally be others who would ignite the fire of war.

In an instant, a genius from a main city force in one corner stood up and shouted, “I want to challenge Huo Ming from Zhenwu Main City!”

“Oh? Isn’t that the genius from Changnan City?”

“Changnan City… tsk tsk, the force situated in the remote area like Beishan City? Hehe, the genius cultivated by that place wants to challenge the genius of Zhenwu Main City? What a delusion!”

This genius from Changnan City was a man in his thirties, his eyes shining with brilliance. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and he had chosen Huo Ming from Zhenwu Main City. It was rumored that Huo Ming was not particularly strong among the geniuses in Zhenwu Main City, and after observing him for a long time, he felt that he could defeat him.

For him, as a genius from Changnan City, this was a perfect opportunity to rise to fame.

Zhenwu Main City was one of the three great forces after the Black Dragon Sect. If he could defeat one of Zhenwu Main City’s geniuses, even if it was a weaker one, he could become famous in all four directions and completely rise to prominence.

“Hehe, Huo Ming, you can only blame yourself for not being good enough in your own city. You will serve as my stepping stone,” the man sneered.

Hearing the challenge, Huo Ming from Zhenwu Main City also stood up.

Huo Ming cupped his hands: “Huo Ming!”

“Lu Dong!” the man replied. “Brother Huo Ming, I hope you’ll be merciful.”

Huo Ming chuckled, “I will.”

Just like that, the two sides didn’t bother with niceties and started fighting instantly.

In this fight, both sides showed their true strength.

“Brother Hao Yun, this Lu Dong came up just to deal with your Zhenwu Main City’s Huo Ming. Hehe, it seems like he’s determined to win,” Fu Longyue laughed.

“Master Fu is joking. He’s just an ignorant kid who picked the wrong person to challenge. He wants to advance in rank, but the gap is too wide,” Hao Yun replied calmly.

Just as his words fell, a loud noise suddenly rang out.

Then, everyone looked up and saw that Lu Dong, once full of enthusiasm and momentum, had fallen from the sky and was now lying unconscious on the ground.

Disbelief filled Lu Dong’s face: “Impossible, Huo Ming, impossible, how could you be so strong? It shouldn’t be.”

He had clearly investigated and found that Huo Ming wasn’t outstanding in Zhenwu Main City. He chose to challenge Huo Ming precisely because he thought Huo Ming wasn’t outstanding, that’s why he wanted to use him as a stepping stone to rise to fame.

But who would’ve known that reality was so cruel!

Huo Ming stood high in the air, looking down and sneering, “You think I’m weak? Hehe, I may be just slightly weaker in our main city, but even then, I’m still many times stronger than you, an insignificant ant. If you want to challenge me, practice a few decades more, hahaha.”

As soon as Huo Ming finished speaking, his cultivation level soared, reaching the Yuanwu Realm’s Fifth Layer.

This revelation shocked Lu Dong because his own martial arts cultivation level was only at the First Layer of the Origin Martial Realm.

“He brought it on himself!”

“Hehe, this Lu Dong really brought it on himself, trying to make a name for himself by challenging Huo Ming!”

“Even the slightly worse geniuses from Zhenwu Main City or those weaker within their own forces can’t be compared with those from small places. This Lu Dong really thought he could win easily. He’s just a toad trying to eat swan meat.”

“If it were so easy to use the geniuses of major powers as stepping stones to fame, those geniuses of major powers would’ve been stepped on ten thousand times already.”

There were no shortage of people making sarcastic remarks.

Yang Chen watched the fight between Huo Ming and Lu Dong, quietly analyzing it.

He also felt some sympathy for Lu Dong’s predicament. It was clear that Lu Dong wanted to make a name for himself in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, his strength was still far too lacking.

After Lu Dong’s battle with Huo Ming, it seemed to ignite Huo Ming’s fighting spirit. After his victory, he immediately turned his attention to a new target and said, “I want to challenge the Saintess Junior Sister of the Green Lotus Sect!”

As his words fell, everyone became very interested.

The victorious Huo Ming wanted to challenge the Saintess of the Green Lotus Sect?

Everyone was very curious about the Saintess of the Qinglian Sect, as her fame had already spread far and wide before they had come to the Black Dragon Sect.

Now that Huo Ming had challenged her, everyone wanted to see what kind of character this highly-regarded Saintess of the Green Lotus Sect really was.

After Huo Ming spoke, there was a momentary commotion within the Green Lotus Sect, and then the female Sect Leader calmly said, “Disciple, go ahead.”

“Yes, Master!” A woman in a green dress suddenly flew out of the Green Lotus Sect.

The woman’s voice was ethereal, and as she flew out, she seemed like a fairy descending upon the mortal world. Many men with ulterior motives felt their hearts beat wildly seeing her, and it would be false to say that they weren’t curious about her beauty.

Unfortunately, when they looked at her, they saw that the Saintess’ face was covered with a veil.

It was clear that the veil had been made from a special material. No matter how people tried, they couldn’t see the woman’s true appearance.

Huo Ming was also a little disappointed, but he soon licked his lips viciously: “Little sister Saintess, why bother wearing a veil when you come out to see people? Why not take it off?”

“Enough useless talk. If you want to challenge me, then let’s begin.” With a gentle wave of her hand, the Saintess of the Green Lotus Sect gripped a jade green long sword.

Soon after, a faint sound like a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface rang out!

Then, the Saintess of the Green Lotus Sect launched an attack with her sword!

As the sword struck, everyone’s hearts were filled with amazement.

They didn’t even see what had happened.

All they knew was that, in the end, Huo Ming had fallen from the sky, unconscious, while the Saintess had withdrawn her Blue Lotus Sword and placed it back in its sheath.
