“At least three Secret Realm Jades?” Yang Chen laughed helplessly.
It was clear that they wanted these geniuses to fight and kill each other in the secret realm.
If they didn’t get enough Secret Realm Jades, which genius would want to be eliminated?
“That’s not all.” Zhou Haoran glared and said, “Did you know that there are scattered and unowned Secret Realm Jades all over the place? When they come out of the secret realm, the North Mountain Main City will judge their rankings based on the number of Secret Realm Jades they submit!”
Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, thought carefully, and then said, “So there’s a ranking?”
“Yes, those who get three Secret Realm Jades will directly advance to the knockout round. And if the number of Secret Realm Jades is enough to rank in the top ten among the tens of thousands of geniuses, they will be eligible to enter the Purple Gold Pavilion in the North Mountain Main City after the
Imockout round and choose a cultivation method passed down by the North Mountain Main City.” Zhou Haoran took a deep breath, “Who knows how deep the North Mountain Main City is? Their cultivation methods are inherited from the royal family, and countless people dream of obtaining them.”
Yang Chen wasn’t moved by these conditions.
As for the cultivation methods, he didn’t really crave them. He possessed the Tai Chu Divine Body, Mixed Yuan Spear Technique, and the Divine Soul Cultivation Method, which were all top-notch cultivation methods.
While the royal family’s methods were targeted, as the saying goes, too much will spoil the broth. When it was passed down to such remote places like North Mountain County, how many of them were genuine?
However, to achieve a startling effect, he still had to snatch the Secret Realm
Jades.
“By the way, Yang Chen, my friend, this…” Zhou Haoran grinned sycophantically.
Seeing the respectful tone of Zhou Haoran, Yang Chen knew that he might not have good intentions: “Senior Zhou, just speak your mind.”
“It’s not a big deal, I just hope that when you enter the secret realm later, you can lead Yunxi into a secret realm together. You know, I cannot let go of my Yunxi. Although she is considered part of the Yanhua Pool, they will certainly take care of her, but the disciples of the Yanhua Pool may not be much stronger than you, my friend. After much consideration, I still think it’s better for you to take care of my Yunxi.”
Zhou Haoran, fearing Yang Chen’s refusal, quickly said, ‘You just need to take her with you in the secret realm.”
Yang Chen was both amused and annoyed. Taking Zhou Yunxi into the secret realm with him, wouldn’t that be like taking a burden? It’s not that Zhou Yunxi’s strength was poor, but given Zhou Yunxi’s temperament, this girl was genuinely a burden.
Although Zhou Haoran was not eloquent, he wasn’t stupid. Why would he let Zhou Yunxi follow him?
Was Zhou Haoran foolish?
Absolutely not.
He didn’t know what happened between Yang Chen and that half-step Origin
Martial Realm Elder Gu that day, but he knew that with Yang Chen’s Spirit Martial Realm Fourth Layer cultivation, he could escape from the grasp of a half-step Origin Martial Realm master. Such strength was difficult to achieve even for those at the Spirit Martial Realm Fifth and Sixth Layers.
Letting Zhou Yunxi follow Yang Chen was naturally the most suitable choice.
Although Yang Chen was reluctant to take a burden with him, he would not refuse since Zhou Haoran asked: “Since Master Zhou has spoken, Yang Chen has no reason to refuse.”
Zhou Haoran let out a long sigh of relief.
It seemed that his efforts to get closer to Yang Chen these past days had not been in vain.
With Yang Chen protecting his daughter in the secret realm, Yunxi’s safety would be more assured.
Zhou Yunxi pouted, “Father, although I’m not as strong as Yang Chen, I am not weak either. Is there a need to be so nervous?”
“Shut up, look around, there are so many geniuses, aren’t there a lot of them stronger than you?” Zhou Haoran scolded.He was well aware of the terrifying geniuses in this selection competition.
It wasn’t just independent martial artists, but also disciples from various sects.
As they were discussing, the Zhou family arrived at the gathering place for the selection competition.
“Up ahead is the entrance, Yunxi, remember to follow Yang Chen, my friend.” Zhou Haoran said worriedly.
Zhou Yunxi stuck out her tongue: “Oh, Father, I know!”
Yang Chen shook his head helplessly and said with his hands behind his back:
“Miss Zhou, take out your assessment order and get ready to enter.”
Immediately, both of them handed in their assessment tokens and entered the preparation area.
As soon as they entered the preparation area, Yang Chen felt the soul scanning from all around him.
Yang Chen calmly said: “Miss Zhou, don’t be nervous!”
Zhou Yunxi felt a little scared when her soul was being probed by so many soul forces. However, upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, she realized that these people had no ill intent and were just sizinq her up unconsciously. She then breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Chen and Zhou Yunxi stood together. Since he had promised Zhou
Haoran to protect Zhou Yunxi, he would naturally be responsible for his words.
At this moment, he glanced around and found that a lot of people had gathered in the stadium to participate in the secret realm selection competition.
The numbers were hard to estimate.
Then, Yang Chen looked up at the viewing platform. It was also crowded with people. Judging by their outfits, it was not difficult to guess that unlike the basic assessment, the people watching this selection competition were all extraordinary figures.
Most of them were big shots from the Taotu Sect and Ziyang Sect.
“Hmm?”
Yang Chen was somewhat familiar with the attire of the Canghai Sect.
At this moment, he saw a man on the viewing platform who was middle-aged and watching the talented young people below with a smile. When he saw this, Yang Chen frowned, because this man was exactly like He Yunxiao’s description, so it wasn’t hard for Yang Chen to guess that this person was probably He Shangfeng, whom He Yunxiao was extremely jealous of.
When he saw He Shangfeng for the first time, Yang Chen quickly looked away. He knew very well that he couldn’t reveal any hostility now.
For masters like He Shangfeng, their senses are extremely sharp, and their souls are omnipresent. Even the slightest hint of hostility might be detected by him!
At present, compared to He Shangfeng, Yang Chen was just an ant that could be crushed to death at any time. If he behaved unnaturally, it would be too easy for the enemy to kill him with his power and influence!
In addition to the strong players from various sects on the viewing platforms, there were also outer viewing platforms where the viewing experience was not as good. The outer viewing galleries were filled with small clans and sect forces. Yang Chen’s soul wandered and saw that Zhou Haoran had already taken a seat.
“Hmm?” Yang Chen was slightly startled: “The people from Liaocheng City Lord Mansion are also here?”
This made Yang Chen smile because he could see his brother, Jin Cheng, on the outer viewing platform.
Jin Cheng obviously hadn’t noticed him and sat down with his father and He Liancheng. Meanwhile, the Huang Family from Liaocheng was nearby. Both sides sat together, engaged in a war of words, taunting each other relentlessly..
