Yang Chen smiled slightly: “That’s right, as for the rights and wrongs of this matter, I won’t explain any further.”
Elder Zhou Yuan, who was beside him, couldn’t help but laugh, albeit with a somewhat forced bitterness in his smile.
No wonder Yang Chen’s initial condition was just to take him to the Genius Selection Competition.
They thought it was a simple task.
However, now at a glance, it was anything but simple. Yang Chen had offended the Ming Emperor Sect, which completely changed the concept. They were heading to Beishan Main City with a hot potato in their hands.
“Hmph, hasn’t the Ming Emperor Sect committed enough crimes of bullying men and oppressing women?” Zhou Haoran looked at Yang Chen’s indifferent demeanor, somewhat surprised, but soon snorted coldly, “Yang Chen, you don’t need to worry. Although the Ming Emperor Sect is strong, this MO City is not a place where they can cover the sky with one hand. Rest assured, as long as you stay in our Zhou Family, the people from Ming Emperor Sect will not dare to target you!”
“Thank you, Master Zhou.” Hearing this, Yang Chen sighed with relief in his heart.
Wasn’t this what he wanted after helping the Zhou Family so much?
Otherwise, as a lone individual now, it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage from the Ming Emperor Sect.
But as it stands now, the grievance has been formed. A cold glint flashed in Yang Chen’s eyes. Since the Ming Emperor Sect didn’t take him seriously, wanting to kill and trample on him as they please, he would have to make them know how powerful he was!
Zhou Haoran was worried at this time, “Speaking of which, my friend Yang
Chen, my daughter’s illness… ”
“Don’t worry, I promise she’ll be healed before the Selection Competition begins.” Yang Chen smiled, as there was no need for him to hold anything back at this point.
Only then did Zhou Haoran feel relieved.
The recovery of his daughter had a significant impact on the future prospects of the Zhou Family.
With that in mind, Zhou Haoran, with hands behind his back, said, “Alright, let’s go back.”
In the meanwhile, Elder Gu returned to the Formation, glanced at the miserable state of the disciples he had brought out, and felt even more anger and resentment. He didn’t really care about the lives of these disciples but cared about his current position, which could bring him countless benefits.
“Elder Gu, is that Yang Chen the little thief dead?” Wen Zi was the most concerned about this matter. Yang Chen’s death would largely affect whether the truth of her killing Liu Taixing would forever remain hidden.
Of course, she wanted Yang Chen dead.
Given Elder Gu’s age, he naturally wouldn’t place as much importance on Wen Zi’s appearance as the other young people. Furthermore, although Wen Zi was beautiful, she was not stunningly so. He was already annoyed, and hearing Wen Zi bring up these matters made him even more irritated, snapping, “No!”
“”Why, how could this happen? Elder Gu, why didn’t you kill Yang Chen? He killed Senior Brother Liu Taixing and many of our Outer Sect Disciples…” Wen Zi’s pupils constricted, her voice raised in blame, and her intentions were all too obvious.
“What, Wen Zi, when is it your turn to tell me what to do?” Elder Gu shouted abruptly.
Wen Zi’s delicate body trembled, a touch of maliciousness flashing in her eyes.
That old man, a mere Outer Sect Elder, dared to scold her like this?
Sooner or later, she would show him what she was capable of.
Elder Gu didn’t know what was going through Wen Zi’s mind, as he was completely preoccupied with thoughts of Yang Chen’s treasures. The fact that the young man could escape his pursuit, albeit with the help of the Zhou Family, was enough to make him jealous. How was a mere Spirit Martial Realm youngster worthy of such treasures?
“Report this matter to Elder Qian.” Elder Gu waved his hand, a calculating glint in his eyes.
As time passed, Yang Chen began to treat Zhou Yunxi in the Zhou Family, ensuring she would fully recover before the Genius Selection Competition and bring glory to the Zhou Family.
At the same time, he did not falter in his cultivation. Yang Chen felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Spiritual Martial Realm 5th Level, and he believed that it wouldn’t be long before he successfully advanced!
Just like that, five days later, the Zhou Family, fully prepared, set off on a grand journey towards Beishan Main City.
The Zhou Family’s departure was not of the same nature as the Song Family Caravan. In comparison, the Zhou Family had numerous experts. Worried about accidents on this trip, Zhou Haoran also called out the other two Yuan Martial Realm experts of the Zhou Family.
With a large number of Half-step Yuan Martial Realm experts accompanying them, such a lineup would deter any mountain thieves from targeting the Zhou Family.
Yang Chen was able to appreciate the true strength of the Zhou Family, who ruled a first-class city. There were more than just one or two Martial Domain experts in this team, and he telt more at ease amid these experts.
At this moment, he and Zhou Haoran were sitting in a carriage.
Zhou Haoran was now refreshed and cheerful, laughing loudly, “Yang Chen, I really have to thank you for saving my precious daughter this time. Now that she’s recovered, ha ha, she can participate in the Genius Selection Competition, and it’s all thanks to you.”
Yang Chen replied gently, “Senior, you’re too kind. By the way, I wonder if you could tell me more about the Beishan Main City Selection Competition. I don’t know much about it, so I’m quite embarrassed.”
Seeing Yang Chen going to participate in the Selection Competition but
Imowing nothing about it, Zhou Haoran couldn’t help but be amused. “You should know the steps of this Selection Competition, which is divided into Basic Competition, Selection, and Knockout stages.”
“Yes, I know a bit about those, but as for what exactly is being assessed, I have no idea.” Yang Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Haoran couldn’t help but say, “It’s normal for friend Yang Chen not to know about these things. In fact, I don’t know everything about it either. However, based on previous Selection Competitions, the steps of the Basic Assessment shouldn’t change too much. Usually, they assess the power of a genius’ attack, their cultivation, physique, and soul strength! ”
“After being scored by the referee examiner, only those who pass the Basic Assessment will be eligible to enter the Selection Competition. However, relatively speaking, the Basic Competition places the most emphasis on physique, as even if your other aspects are lacking, as long as your physique score is high enough, you can still attract the attention of many Sects, even if you fail to pass the overall exam.” Zhou Haoran laughed.
Yang Chen, listening to this, nodded secretly.
Testing attack power with items like the King Kong Stone used by Zhou Yunxi should be a part of this assessment, while testing cultivation, physique, and soul strength would be much easier in comparison..
