The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms - Chapter 657
Chapter 657: Chapter 654: Yang Chen Admits Defeat?_1
In an instant, Zhang Huafeng undoubtedly became the focus of attention for everyone present.
This tenth floor also gave him the qualification for that.
While the people were discussing Zhang Huafeng, he walked out of the Trial Tower. Looking at Zhang Huafeng now, one could clearly see a complacent expression in the man’s eyes. It was not difficult to determine that he was very satisfied with his own achievements and enjoyed the envious and admiring expressions that others cast upon him.
This was what he deserved, as he, Zhang Huafeng, was meant to be surrounded and admired by others.
At this moment, Zhang Huafeng coldly glanced at Yang Chen.
What about the title of Eastern First Genius? He was curious whether Yang Chen could reach this level.
Thinking of this, he suddenly spoke with mockery: “Brother Yang Chen, you didn’t come here with Beishan Main City, so it seems that you are also a loose cultivator. So, together with the Green Lotus Sect, don’t you plan to try this Trial Tower challenge?”
“There’s no need for Brother Zhang to worry about it.” Yang Chen yawned indifferently and didn’t take it to heart.
He didn’t even consider Zhang Huafeng as an opponent now. His focus was all on He Guang. How could he have time to deal with Zhang Huafeng?
No matter how fiercely Zhang Huafeng jumped, he couldn’t attract Yang Chen’s attention.
This was precisely what enraged Zhang Huafeng the most. He could clearly determine the disdain in Yang Chen’s eyes towards him. It seemed that Yang Chen didn’t even have the intention to compete with him. This was not what he wanted; he wanted Yang Chen to fear and look up to him!
“Humph, Yang Chen, I think you just lack confidence, and that’s why you didn’t dare to enter the Trial Tower just now. What’s the point of this Trial Tower competition if the so-called Eastern Number One Genius like you doesn’t even make a move?” Zhang Huafeng’s words were filled with mockery and provocation.
Upon hearing the title of Eastern First Genius, Yang Chen felt a bit of a headache.
What he hated most was having others put a label on him without his knowledge, resulting in him inadvertently being placed in a position he did not want. For example, the Eastern Number One Genius title might seem impossibly cool, but in reality, how much attention did it attract?
As for the situation right now, with just one sentence from Zhang Huafeng, everyone’s eyes were on him.
He knew that the origin of the Eastern First Genius title was all because he defeated Luo Yunhu, but he didn’t expect that the gossip would spread so quickly. Not long after he left the Black Dragon Sect, the Eastern First Genius title was solidified.
With this in mind, Yang Chen slowly said, “I never admitted that I am the Eastern Number One Genius, and I’m not interested in that position either. Whoever wants it can have it, it’s nothing to do with me. As for this Trial Tower, why would I want to break through it? Oh, right, if you can give me a hundred Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, Brother Zhang, I wouldn’t mind having a try.”
“Is Yang Chen frightened?”
“I think Yang Chen is probably scared.”
“Yang Chen has a conflict with Zhang Huafeng, which is known to everyone. Initially, Yang Chen looked full of vigor, as if he wanted to compete in this Trial Tower. But as soon as Zhang Huafeng finished his challenge, he immediately wilted and had no intention of challenging anymore.”
“This is clearly because he is afraid of losing to Zhang Huafeng. Haha, who wouldn’t know his intentions?”
“It seems that the rumors are true. When Yang Chen defeated Luo Yunhu back then, he relied more on purchased Spirit Talisman, not his real strength.”
“It’s getting worse by the day. I didn’t expect that the title of Eastern Number One Genius can be faked now.”
“The key is that Yang Chen is shameless; who can do anything about it?”
For a moment, under Zhang Huafeng’s instigation, everyone’s fingers were pointed at Yang Chen, as if they all thought he was afraid and terrified of Zhang Huafeng.
Zhang Huafeng was also quite complacent at this time, feeling very comfortable with the evaluations people gave to Yang Chen. However, looking at Yang Chen, he suddenly realized that Yang Chen still seemed indifferent, as if he didn’t care about these people’s discussions. This surprised Zhang Huafeng. Could Yang Chen really ignore the gossip of others?
Indeed, Yang Chen did not take these rumors seriously. He just took a look at Zhang Huafeng and lost interest.
Zhang Huafeng had entered the Trial Tower once before, and the Trial Tower’s tenth floor remained unchanged. It could be seen that Zhang Huafeng must have challenged the Trial Tower before. No matter where he challenged, the Trial Towers were connected with prohibitions. Otherwise, how could one find loopholes to take advantage of the Creation Divine Aura refining process by switching to another place?
Although Zhang Huafeng was a loose cultivator, his master’s status was extraordinary. It was not difficult to pay a price for the opportunity to challenge the Trial Tower in a main city force.
Naturally, after confirming this fact, Yang Chen became uninterested in Zhang Huafeng.
But others didn’t think so. Even the elders of the Green Lotus Sect thought that Yang Chen had chickened out.
One by one, they looked at Yang Chen with expressions of distrust, no longer confident that Yang Chen could win honors for the Green Lotus Sect.
Only Li Ruoxiang stood with her hands behind her back, her graceful figure upright, and said, “Why didn’t you accept his challenge?”
“I promised to fight for the Green Lotus Sect, and whether the Green Lotus Sect needs me now is still unknown. Why should I accept his challenge?” Yang Chen replied calmly.
He was serious about what he said. If the Green Lotus Sect asked him to fight, he would represent them in battle. Although he couldn’t repay their kindness all at once, he would still repay as much as possible. If the Green Lotus Sect didn’t need him, he wouldn’t have any special interest in this Trial Tower.
“I mean, can you really stand this provocation?” Li Ruoxiang couldn’t help but be curious.
“Provocation?” Yang Chen scratched his ear, “I only felt that there was a fly buzzing around my ear. What else happened?”
“…”
Li Ruoxiang wanted to laugh but held back.
Her status didn’t allow her to laugh too disrespectfully, so even when she laughed, she did so with a very ‘serious’ and solemn demeanor.
She didn’t speak, but her curiosity toward Yang Chen grew stronger.
This little guy didn’t really take those provocations seriously.
She wouldn’t be able to handle it in his place.
She had a bad temper.
So, everyone discussed Yang Chen left and right until another loose cultivator entered the Trial Tower after Zhang Huafeng, bringing the matter to an end.
What followed was one loose cultivator after another continuously challenging the Trial Tower. Unfortunately, these loose cultivators had limited strength and mostly stopped between the First and Fifth Floors. Even though there were occasionally a few outstanding ones who reached the Sixth Floor, it was still of no use. In the end, no one could surpass Zhang Huafeng’s record!
