Chapter 178: Su Chen Steps Forward, Questioning!
Chapter 178: Su Chen Steps Forward, Questioning!
Ji Sheng was a rather proud individual.
In his eyes, he only looked down on others and would never allow anyone to look down on him.
In the past, there had been people who spoke ill of him.
But most of the time, Ji Sheng didn't care.
His pride was such that he didn't bother with what ordinary people said.
However, this time was a bit unusual. Ji Sheng was being criticized by all the scholars of Heaven's Pivot City.
Even the sect elders were speaking against him.
Ji Sheng was likely angered by this, and he still remembered the incident from that day.
"If you think so highly of Su Chen, then go and notify him.
He has always felt that he hasn't improved under my command because I, Ji Sheng, haven't provided him with the necessary assistance.
Now that he has learned a lot from others, his strength should have improved further.
Hurry and call him over, let's talk face to face.
Let's see if it's me, Ji Sheng, who is blind and can't recognize a genius, or if it's all of you who are blind and can't distinguish right from wrong."
Ji Sheng's words were meant to belittle Su Chen, regardless of Su Chen's decision.
In Ji Sheng's eyes, he had already shown respect to Su Chen.
He couldn't be bothered to mention his other disciples.
And today, Su Chen was actually at the back of the crowd, watching.
The disciple he brought with him possibly had even greater potential than Long Yunyun.
Hidden among the crowd, Su Chen listened as many people spoke.
They said that this person would be the second Heaven's Pride after Gu Feng.
Although he didn't like Ji Sheng, the disciple he found indeed possessed formidable strength.
It was likely that apart from Gu Feng, no other disciple in Heaven's Pivot City could match him.
Of course, this didn't include those disciples who were much older.
After embarrassing Feng Zhengqin in public, Ji Sheng prepared to leave with his disciple.
At this moment, Su Chen stepped forward.
Seeing Su Chen, Ji Sheng was taken aback, and the crowd also paused in surprise.
No one expected Su Chen to appear voluntarily.
Su Chen didn't waste any words and provided some explanations for what he had just said.
"After hearing Mr. Ji's words, I have something to say.
I won't hide it from you, Mr. Ji, Su Chen has never blamed you for not providing assistance.
Whether it's your guidance or neglect, it's up to you, Mr. Ji.
My resentment comes from you blocking my path to improvement.
That was an opportunity I fought for myself, and if you don't care about it, then you shouldn't interfere at all.
Why block my path?"
Su Chen's words directly addressed Ji Sheng's past actions.
Initially, when he had the chance to advance as a direct disciple, Ji Sheng had stopped him.
Before Ji Sheng could respond, Su Chen continued.
"Additionally, during the mid-year examination, you made a promise.
If I could withstand twenty moves from Gu Wei without defeat, you would support me in obtaining the resources of a sect's direct disciple.
But in reality, you broke your word.
Just based on this broken promise, you probably don't qualify to hold the position of a scholar."
Su Chen's words immediately pointed out Ji Sheng's character.
The people around also started to criticize Ji Sheng.
But upon hearing this, Ji Sheng coldly laughed.
"Su Chen, do you think I want to break my word and be untrustworthy?
Everything I, Ji Sheng, have done is for the sake of Heaven's Pivot City.
Without that level of potential, you shouldn't occupy those resources.
Just like now, you obtained the resources of a direct disciple, but have you grown to what heights?
You're still mediocre, merely lucky to have achieved some results.
I want to fulfill my previous promise, but as the hall master of Heaven's Pivot City, I, Ji Sheng, must consider the sect's interests first.
If it weren't for this, how could I go back on my word?"
Ji Sheng's words were spoken with conviction.
It was he who broke his word, and yet he now acts as if he is considering the best interests of Tiangang City.
He is evaluating Tiangang City and thinking about its future.
In just a few words, he made it seem like the other Masters are acting dishonorably.
He is giving away Tiangang City's resources to disciples who lack talent and ability.
As his words fell, Ji Sheng's gaze once again turned towards Su Chen.
"Since you're here today, then you can have a match with the disciple I brought back.
If you lose, there will be no loss on your part.
We won't take away your status and treatment as a direct disciple, as we don't covet it.
The Sect has recognized this child's potential and will soon bestow it upon him."
"If you win, I, Ji Sheng, can give you ten Vital Energy Pills.
However, Ouyang Chuan and the others must have advised you against accepting the challenge many times. I wonder if you have the courage to do so."
"I just want to see how much of Tiangang City's resources you've wasted."
Ji Sheng's challenge was something Su Chen had anticipated.
"Then please make the arrangements, Master Ji."
Upon hearing Su Chen's response, the surrounding crowd immediately began spreading the news.
Everyone believed that Su Chen would not accept the challenge.
After all, just moments ago, when Feng Zhengqin was challenged by Ji Sheng, he did not arrange for his disciples to accept the challenge.
The disciple Ji Sheng brought had already defeated many others.
Moreover, they were all outstanding disciples under the various Masters.
During their encounters, the gap between them was significant, and it was almost impossible to see any chance of victory.
"Then let's go to the training ground for the match. It's spacious there, and there will be more spectators around."
As they spoke, the crowd headed towards the training ground together.
The news of Su Chen's match with the disciple quickly spread throughout Tiangang City.
After experiencing so many events, and with the help of Mr. Ouyang's promotion, Su Chen's reputation in Tiangang City had improved significantly.
Additionally, after defeating Long Yunyun, many disciples began to admire Su Chen.
If it weren't for Su Chen, Long Yunyun's arrogant and unruly attitude would have truly made everyone seethe with anger.
Soon, Ouyang Chuan and Jin Yue arrived as well.
Jin Yue furrowed her brows tightly. She had gone there several times before, but Su Chen never showed up.
But today, when Ji Sheng issued the challenge, she didn't go, and Su Chen did.
Ouyang Chuan, upon seeing Su Chen, walked up to him and pulled him aside.
"You, kid, didn't we agree that you wouldn't accept the challenge?
What's going on today? Why did you proactively go up to Ji Sheng?"
Hearing Ouyang Chuan's words, Su Chen smiled.
"I just wanted to help you vent some anger. Hearing those words from him made me a little upset too."
Su Chen spoke calmly.
Regarding the upcoming match, he didn't seem to have any worries.
On the contrary, Mr. Ouyang had many concerns.
But with the situation as it was, how could he avoid this match?
"Ji Sheng's new disciple uses sword techniques.
His moves are fierce and relentless, and they flow continuously.
To counter each move, one must carefully analyze and strategize. The continuous flow of his attacks will make it more challenging to find an opening.
To defeat him, you must seize upon his weaknesses and not allow him to control the situation."
Ouyang Chuan shared as much information as he could with Su Chen.
Whatever assistance he could provide, he would.
In the training ground, the onlookers gathered in large numbers.
Upon hearing the news, Wu Yi and the other senior disciples frowned.
Although they hoped for Ji Sheng and his disciples to be embarrassed, the current situation was indeed unfavorable.
