Chapter 25: Wang Yuzhe!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Chen was the only disciple in the branch of Tempered Spirit Peak. He did not even have a master. However, He defeated the outstanding disciple of the branch of Sky Fog Peak, Liu Hong. Almost everyone could not believe it. The younger generation disciples could not believe their eyes.

Some people knew that just a few years ago, this Su Chen was still a disciple who could not sense qi and could not cultivate qi.

Now, he was like a new man, and easily defeated Liu Hong. This result was hard to accept.

At this moment, Wang Yuzhe had also listed Su Chen as one of his strong opponents. Even he would not be able to defeat Liu Hong so easily.

“Big brother, look…” On the square, Wang Yucheng and Wang Yuzhe stood together and looked at Su Chen coldly. 

Wang Yuzhe snorted coldly and looked at Su Chen with an extremely cold gaze. He was a little surprised by Liu Hong’s failure, but it was more fun this way. He wanted to personally end Su Chen’s progress.

“Liu Hong is really trash. He actually lost to Su Chen.” Wang Yucheng was extremely angry. He was expecting Liu Hong to teach Su Chen a lesson.

“Alright, your own cultivation isn’t too different, compared to Liu Hong. If he’s trash, then what are you?” Wang Yuzhe could not help but frown and say impatiently when he heard this.

“This Su Chen is definitely not simple. If he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. He is pretending to be low in cultivation, then this person is really scary,” Wang Yuzhe said.

“Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? That’s impossible. Big brother, I’ve investigated Su Chen when he entered the Pure Yang sect, and I couldn’t sense qi at all,” Wang Yucheng said in surprise. He had investigated very clearly that this Su Chen was a trash who could not even sense qi.

“What?!” Wang Yuzhe thought for a while and said, “If that’s not the case, something must have happened to Su Chen that we don’t know about, and it’s enough to increase his cultivation.”

It was not a coincidence that Wang Yuzhe could become the second most powerful person among the younger generation, second only to Luo Feng, the eldest senior brother of the sect master.

Based on the information his younger brother had revealed, he had roughly guessed Su Chen’s situation.

“Big brother, are you talking about a fortuitous encounter?” If Wang Yucheng still did not understand his big brother’s words, then he would be too foolish.

“Send someone to carefully investigate what Su Chen has been doing and where he has been in the past two years.” Wang Yuzhe vaguely guessed something and instructed Wang Yucheng.

“Yes, big brother!” Wang Yucheng hurriedly agreed. After saying that, he turned around and left to contact his other friends.

This was the benefit of being a disciple of an aristocratic family. One had a wide network and many friends. This was because behind a disciple of an aristocratic family, there was the backing of the family. Some people did not place importance on Wang Yucheng, but on the Wang family behind him.

At this moment, Su Chen suddenly seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head to look in Wang Yuzhe’s direction. Their gazes collided once again, causing sparks to fly.

Both of them saw a deep hostility in each other’s eyes.

“Humph! Wang Yuzhe, it’s foolish of you to interfere in the plan to seize the herb garden.” Su Chen’s eyes revealed a cold light.

Wang Yuzhe’s face revealed a cold smile. “Su Chen, don’t be too proud. I will step on you on the stage.”

The two of them were at least forty to fifty meters apart. Without speaking, the two of them could see the meaning in each other’s eyes.

Clang!

At this moment, a bell rang from the Pure Yang Hall. Su Chen and Wang Yuzhe retracted their gazes at the same time.

The reason was that the first match between the 81 disciples of the younger generation had already ended.

As the bell rang, Daoist Zixu, who was sitting high on the steps, stood up and walked forward. All the disciples of the younger generation looked at the high platform in front of the square.

The Daoist Zixu looked at the disciples in the square below and said, “The first round of the competition has ended. All the disciples can take a break for now. The second round of the competition will begin in the afternoon.”

Then, the leaders of each branch stood up and walked into the Pure Yang Hall.

The first round of the inner sect competition had ended. The outstanding disciples of each branch who participated in the competition were both happy and worried.

In the first round of the competition, other than Su Chen’s sudden cold victory over Liu Hong of the Sky Fog Peak, no other unexpected situation seemed to have occurred.

Without any suspense, Luo Feng and Wang Yuzhe easily defeated their respective opponents and successfully entered the next round of the competition.

As for the defeated disciples, as long as they could win the second round of the competition in the afternoon, they would be able to enter the next round of the competition.

Meanwhile, Su Chen was sitting cross-legged under a pine tree in a sparsely populated area outside the square, resting with his eyes closed.

In the afternoon’s competition, he would be fighting against Wang Yuzhe. Su Chen could not be careless when facing such an opponent because he had felt the pressure from Wang Yuzhe.

The Wang family of Pill Peak definitely had an important treasure. If Wang Yuzhe used a powerful magic treasure during the competition, like the Canglan Seal of Zhao Cheng of Snow Bamboo Peak, it would be very difficult for Su Chen to win .

This was the advantage of qi refinement cultivators. Although their bodies were not as strong as those of body refinement cultivators, they had the help of magic treasures. The combination of spells and magic treasures would allow qi refinement cultivators to display strength that surpassed their limits.

Su Chen sat under the pine tree. The five-colored essence qi in his body slowly surged in his flesh and blood, gradually gathering in his qi center, and forming a five-colored ball of light. Then, the five-colored ball of light in his qi center dimmed again and spread out waves of five-colored essence qi, it fused into his muscles, bones, blood, and flesh.

This cycle went on and on, without end. His body let out a rhythmic light explosion. His five-colored essence qi could change his marrow and blood, and the fresh blood qi in his bone marrow was slowly replacing the original blood qi. The new blood qi contained a huge amount of essence qi, which flowed throughout his body.

After removing the impurities from his body, his body was transforming.

Su Chen’s skin, which was exposed to the outside of his clothes, was flowing with this glimmer of light. It was as if there were threads of light flowing under his skin.

In the distance, many disciples from other sects were discussing Su Chen under the pine tree. They seemed to be talking about Su Chen and the battle he had just fought with Liu Hong.

The voices of the discussions were faintly transmitted into Su Chen’s ears. Most of the discussions were negative, and they were not praises for Su Chen. However, no matter what they said, Su Chen treated them as nonsense and did not care at all.

The words of others could not shake Su Chen’s mind at all. This could not affect his state of mind. He had to maintain his goal and not be disturbed by external things, so that he could advance bravely in his cultivation.

Noon had already passed. Four hours later, the crisp sound of bells rang out again in the Pure Yang Hall. The sect master and the heads of the various factions came to the front of the hall and sat down on the high platform. Daoist Zixu, who was hosting the inner sect competition, walked up.

“The time has come. The second round of competition begins!” Although Daoist Zixu’s voice was not loud, it still spread throughout the entire square. It even spread out from the Pure Yang Peak that lingered in the mountains.

Su Chen, who was sitting cross-legged under the pine tree beside the square, suddenly opened his eyes. He then stood up, and a series of crackling sounds immediately came from all over his body.

“Wang Yuzhe!” Su Chen muttered to himself.

He stretched his muscles and bones and strode toward the seventh arena in the square..
