Chapter 212: I Really Want to See If I Have Truly Metamorphosed
Before the Capital Assembly, the Yunyang Sect had considered every possible scenario.
The Yunyang Sect's elders had discussed canceling the challenge sparring numerous times.
They had planned their response to every situation clearly.
They even considered more complex scenarios, such as Tiangang City finding excuses to refuse sparring, selecting specific sparring opponents, and so on.
The Yunyang Sect had planned their response to all these situations.
Today's events were within their expectations.
The entire process was unfolding as they had anticipated.
And at this point, in the eyes of the Yunyang Sect members, they had already won.
At this moment, on the shore of Fame Lake.
The citizens of the Capital City were all discussing this matter.
The reason for the Yunyang Sect's departure was quickly spreading among the crowd, as they had arranged.
Many major sects had already heard about Tiangang City using Su Chen to belittle the Yunyang Sect's status.
However, for most of the citizens, this was new information.
They heard that Su Chen's strength was exaggerated, and his status as a direct disciple was a result of Tiangang City's intentional glorification.
This was done to highlight Tiangang City's ability to nurture exceptional disciples.
Upon learning this, many citizens in the crowd became angry.
Although there was a need for verification, many had already accepted this as fact.
Good news was not easily believed by everyone.
But when it came to bad news, as long as there was a slight possibility, many would subconsciously assume it to be true.
Tiangang City had gained benefits and advantages by belittling Su Chen.
Based on this, many felt the evidence was sufficient.
The Yunyang Sect's planning and arrangements were well executed.
Most of the possible situations were considered.
However, there was one major assumption in the Yunyang Sect's plans.
That Su Chen truly lacked ability and talent.
That he obtained the status of a direct disciple and received the treatment of a core disciple in Tiangang City was due to their glorification, not his actual strength.
Under this assumption, the Yunyang Sect's plan was perfect.
But this assumption was not as they had thought.
In a hidden location, He Chao witnessed this scene, and a smile appeared on his face as he left Fame Lake.
He followed the Yunyang Sect's group, playing along with their act, and left the Capital City together.
He Chao believed that the subsequent events were as expected, and there was no need to waste more time.
On the stage in the center of the lake.
The Second Prince and Third Prince felt their heads were about to explode.
It seemed that sharing a drink was out of the question.
Since that was the case, they might as well not drink at all.
"Since everyone is unwilling to drink together, let's move on.
Which Martial Artist is willing to demonstrate their skills in front of all the Celestial Prodigies today?
And perhaps receive guidance from the Celestial Prodigies."
As the Second Prince finished speaking, Situ Sanping beside him sighed again, not quietly.
"Situ, what does this sigh of yours mean?"
The Second Prince might have wanted to curse, but he remained polite.
Situ Sanping's face carried a hint of regret, and he picked up an empty wine cup.
"It's nothing, just that I find it uninteresting. The four top Celestial Prodigies are now down to two. Those who shouldn't leave are still here, and those who should have left are lingering.
This year's competition feels dull.
It might be better to listen to the curses from the citizens on the shore, perhaps that would be more entertaining."
As Situ Sanping spoke, his gaze unconsciously shifted to Su Chen, not far away.
Although he was being ridiculed and belittled, Su Chen's expression remained calm, showing no signs of anger.
Seeing this, Situ Sanping seemed to become even more amused.
"Su Chen, do you still not realize your current achievements, and that Tiangang City intentionally glorifying you?"
"Upon hearing this, Su Chen didn't hesitate and calmly responded.
'I truly don't know how the sect is praising me.
I believe that today's achievements are all earned through my own abilities.'
Upon hearing this, Situ Sanping's expression revealed a hint of regret.
'Before, I mostly despised you, but now, I think you're pitiful.
Tiangang City has indeed gone too far.
To make all of this seem real, even you, as a pawn, have been deceived.'
Su Chen raised his eyes to look at Situ Sanping and replied.
'I don't think I'm pitiful, nor do I think the sect has done anything excessive.'
'So, you think you have the strength? Let's spar, then you'll know why you're pitiful.
Do you really think that by coming from Yunyang Sect to Tiangang City, you can metamorphose?'
Unaware that mountains and rivers can change, but nature is hard to alter.
Situ Sanping once again challenged him.
But the surrounding crowd just treated it as a joke.
In their eyes, Situ Sanping should know that Su Chen wouldn't accept his challenge.
These words were just a mockery.
With everyone not taking it seriously, Su Chen had already stood up from his seat.
Holding his own sword in his left hand, he walked towards the center of the Lake Center Stage.
'Su Chen! What are you doing?'
Seeing Su Chen stand up, Gu Feng, who was beside him, noticed first and quickly urged him.
'Don't be reckless! It doesn't matter if you embarrass yourself, but don't drag Tiangang City down with you!'
Gu Feng thought that Su Chen wouldn't be easily provoked.
But he didn't expect to be provoked by this goading.
'Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, for the reminder, but I really want to see if I've metamorphosed since leaving Yunyang Sect.'
As he spoke, Su Chen had already reached the center of the Lake Center Stage.
Today's assembly specifically canceled the final challenge spar.
In the eyes of the various sects' disciples, modifying this assembly process was to protect Su Chen from this gathering.
But at this moment, Su Chen easily accepted the challenge and had already walked to the Lake Center Stage.
The messenger quickly delivered the news to the shore.
Originally, the citizens of the capital saw the challenge spar canceled, and Yunyang Sect angrily left.
The disciples of the various sects present and the citizens watching from the shore had already assumed that Su Chen would not spar with anyone.
But Su Chen accepted the challenge and even walked to the center of the Lake Center Stage.
The faces of the various sect members present were filled with surprise.
Tiangang City had arranged so much to help Su Chen get through this assembly, but Su Chen is delivering himself to their door. I didn't believe that Su Chen would remain ignorant, but now it seems he truly doesn't understand his situation.
In his eyes, he seems to think he got here on his own strength.
On the Lake Center Stage, the disciples of the various sects looked at Su Chen with a mix of pity and sympathy.
'Living in your own imagination is actually quite good, if you're not awakened.'
'Saying it like this, we're quite cruel.
When Su Chen learns the truth, I wonder how his heart will churn.
Will he be so furious that his body is backlashed?'
At the very center of the Lake Center Stage, the Second Prince also frowned and reminded Su Chen.
'Brother Su, today's assembly has already canceled the challenge spar, you don't need to.'
Hearing the Second Prince's words, Su Chen turned and bowed to him in gratitude.
'Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder, but if I don't take action today, it'll be hard to continue normally.'
