Chapter 203: Chapter 200: It’s the Same for You to Go Up_l
Translator: 549690339
The rules for this temporary private competition were actually quite simple, with only six participants. Among the six, if any one of them lost, they could not fight again. As long as one genius from one side defeated the other two sides in singles, they would win first place. The remaining second place would be contested by the other two sides.
As for who would fight first, it was naturally decided by drawing lots.
It was not Jin Cheng who drew the lots, but the strongest fighters from the three factions. This was done naturally to deter each other and also to warn the other parties that everyone had real abilities in hand. No one should try to cheat, otherwise, if they really fought, no one would get a good result! He Liancheng naturally was chosen for Jin Cheng’s side. Originally, Jin Cheng had considered letting his own father sit in the competition for this secret realm, but who could have thought that He Liancheng would become a half-step Yuan Martial Realm fighter after taking Yang Chen’s Qingming Zhenyuan Pill, which made Jin Cheng overjoyed.
A half-step Yuan Martial Realm, this really made their side shine in this competition.
The Zan City Sun Family’s strength was not mentioned since they had a
half-step Yuan Martial Realm as an anchor. However, Huang Chiyang’s strength seemed a bit inadequate. Huang Chiyang brought his clan elder with him, whose strength was only at the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm, which was a bit worse than He Liancheng and Sun Zhenghao from the Sun Family.
At this moment, the top fighters from the three sides stepped forward and looked at each other. Sun Zhenghao and He Liancheng remained indifferent throughout, while the Huang Family elder had an ugly expression on his face.
Soon, the drawing of lots was over.
He Liancheng held a lot with clear black characters and said, “Young Master, our first battle is against the Zan City Sun Family!”
“Oh?” Jin Cheng heard this and looked thoughtfully at Yang Chen and Young
Master Ming: “I wonder which of the two would like to represent our City
Lord’s Mansion in the first battle and grab the limelight?”
Yang Chen glanced at Young Master Ming and noticed that Young Master Ming disdainfully looked at him, which made him smile slightly: “What does Young Master Ming think?”
“Let me grab the limelight. I don’t trust you, a Da Huang person. Just stand aside and watch, and learn something.” Ming Jie snorted coldly, and strode confidently towards the marked ring with his hands behind his back.
On Sun Zhenghao’s side, he smiled and said to the two Taotu Sect geniuses,
“Which of the two young friends would like to grab the limelight?”
“Junior brother, you go.” A man dressed in Taoist robes, hands always behind his back, callously said.
The Outer Sect disciple, who was called junior brother by him, trembled all over when he heard his senior brother speak. Seeing the look of awe in the young man’s eyes, he didn’t dare to disobey and quickly said, “Senior brother, I’ll be right back, and let these people from Liaocheng City Lord’s Mansion know what real power is!”
As soon as these words fell, he stepped forward, and in an instant, he arrived at the marked ring.
“Kid, state your name!” Ming Jie arrogantly said.
“Taotu Sect Outer Sect Disciple, Lin Shaoyang!” The Taoist youth, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and about the same age as Ming Jie, reported his name as he saw Ming Jie’s arrogance.
When he heard that he was an Outer Sect disciple of the Taotu Sect, Ming Jie was immediately shocked, and his original momentum seemed to be extinguished by a basin of water, making his expression awkward. After a while, he said, “Even if you are from Taotu Sect, you won’t be great. Today, let’s taste my knife skills!”
As soon as the words fell, Ming Jie held a plain knife in one hand, gripped it tightly, and directly chopped down at Lin Shaoyang with layers of force.
Ming Jie’s knife skill was quite mysterious, with one knife coming out and layers of blast waves rolling out one after another!
“A trivial trick!” Lin Shaoyang sneered, shaking his whole body, and choosing to strike in an instant as he saw the rolling waves of blast coming towards him. “Lin Shaoyang is using the Star Cloud Technique, which is one of the best cultivation methods among the Outer Sect members of Taotu Sect.” He Liancheng, with his rich experience, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.
Jin Cheng touched his chin and smiled without saying a word. No one knew what he was thinking.
As for Yang Chen, he had no interest in this battle from the beginning. He evaluated the martial arts cultivation of everyone in the field through Rainbow’s far superior divine soul power. Compared to everyone else, he looked down upon them.
This Ming Jie was eighteen, almost nineteen years old, and he was only at the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm. As for Lin Shaoyang, he was only seventeen years old and already at the second level of Spirit Martial Realm. Plus, he came from a major sect like Taotu Sect, so it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
Moreover, Ming Jie had high expectations for himself and a low actual performance, so Yang Chen basically didn’t need to guess the outcome.
He now scanned his opponents and secretly thought about who could pose a threat to him.
It seemed that the two geniuses of the Ming Emperor Sect wouldn’t compete, and only one disciple of the Ming Emperor Sect and an unknown genius invited by Huang Chiyang would compete. Both of them seemed not to be too threatening, even if it was Liu Taixing, the genius of Ming Emperor Sect’s Outer Sect.
He felt that the most threatening were the geniuses of the Taotu Sect, who had been invited by the Sun Family of Zan City.
This Taotu Sect genius was not Lin Shaoyang who was fighting now, but a young man standing beside Sun Zhenghao and treated with a very humble attitude by Sun Zhenghao.
This young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, had an arrogant look on his face and didn’t even glance at Sun Zhenghao, which really surprised Yang Chen. After inquiring with Rainbow, he learned that this young man had actually reached the same third level of Spirit Martial Realm as him!
What was crucial was that even Sun Zhenghao attached such importance to this young man, which made the situation very suspicious. It was important to know that with Sun Zhenghao’s martial arts cultivation, even if the Taotu Sect was a large clan or sect, it was not enough for an Outer Sect disciple to make him lose face like this.
This made Yang Chen secretly think about it, and soon…
“Bang!”
With a loud noise, Yang Chen looked up and saw Ming Jie suddenly fall from the ring, followed by a mouthful of blood.
Obviously, Ming Jie had lost, and counting the time, it seemed that he had not lasted a few rounds.
“Trash!” Lin Shaoyang insulted Ming Jie without any scruples.
Ming Jie’s face turned from green to purple with rage. He had seen Lin Shaoyang’s strength just now, so he could only return to Jin Cheng’s side in shame.
Yang Chen did not intend to ridicule Ming Jie either, he just glanced at him lightly.
But this glance seemed to step on the tail of a fox. Ming Jie didn’t dare to vent his anger at Jin Cheng or Lin Shaoyang. When he thought of Yang Chen’s Da Huang origins, he immediately found a punching bag: “Why are you looking at me? Don’t gloat. Your performance in the ring won’t be much better than mine.
Humph! ”
“What’s the matter, Young Master Ming wishes for Young Master Jin Cheng to learn his lesson?” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, his expression cold. Did Ming Jie really think that he had a good temper?
When Ming Jie heard Yang Chen’s words, his whole body shook. Looking at Jin Cheng’s smiling face again, he said angrily: “I’m just stating a fact!”
After saving these words, Ming Jie turned around and left.
Looking at Ming Jie’s eyes, Yang Chen touched his chin, lost in thought..
