Chapter 300: The Golden Demon Head's Appearance
Chapter 300: The Golden Demon Head's Appearance
The road was bustling with people.
The spectators of the Millennium Mountain Challenge far outnumbered the participants.
In the Anshan Kingdom, the Millennium Mountain Challenge was a monthly spectacle.
Apart from the benefits, the monthly challenge also served as a popular topic of discussion.
Additionally, it was an opportunity to witness the skills of various warriors.
The diverse and extraordinary cultivation techniques and moves were a sight to behold.
To put it bluntly, the more one witnessed, the more stories they could tell back home, ensuring they wouldn't go hungry.
Of course, most people came to broaden their horizons.
Seeing others' moves and wishing to learn them was almost impossible.
But at the very least, they could gain more knowledge and witness the strength of the Mountain Lords of each layer of Millennium Mountain.
In the future, when they ventured to challenge the mountain themselves, they would have a better chance of success.
Millennium Mountain wasn't particularly steep.
The path upward was accessible even to ordinary commoners.
Su Chen led the four of them to the summit, and by then, many commoners had already gathered on the outskirts.
The commoners were considerate and sat in a circle on the outer perimeter.
The area closer to the challenge grounds was reserved for warriors, and they had all been asked to make way.
Su Chen looked towards the competition area, which was essentially just an ordinary clearing.
As the challenging teams stepped forward, they announced which layer they wanted to challenge, and the corresponding Mountain Lord would step out to accept the challenge.
Millennium Mountain had seven layers, and there were a total of six Mountain Lords available for challenges.
The first layer didn't require a challenge; anyone who attempted it and failed would still receive some consolation rewards.
They could go to the first layer to take a look.
Upon learning this rule, Su Chen finally understood why the four people he had gathered were so excited.
Even if they lost the challenge, they could still follow along to the first layer.
With their abilities, no team was willing to take them in.
Going to the first layer was, in fact, a wishful thought for them.
This time, their heart's desire had come true.
At the fourth hour and half, Du Yan and Hui Yilian both arrived with their teams.
Du Yan wore a slightly contemptuous smile on his face.
When Hui Yilian looked at Su Chen, there was an added hint of helplessness in her eyes.
As she passed by Su Chen, Hui Yilian hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
"Su Chen, leading a team isn't an easy task.
With your abilities, it might take three to five months to slay sixty great demons.
This isn't your home, nor is it your sect.
Not many people will indulge you here.
Apologize to Senior Brother Du, even though there's no opportunity this month, but you'll likely be able to come here to challenge next month."
Before Hui Yilian could finish her sentence, Du Yan, standing beside her, interrupted.
"Stop, stop, Hui Shimei, don't make decisions for me.
I can't handle this kind of person.
Their abilities are lacking, and they contribute little, but they have a big temper.
I can't handle this kind of person; I can't afford to."
After his speech, Chen Yifang, standing beside Du Yan, glanced over as well.
With a casual gesture, he pointed at Su Chen.
"I've seen many people like this in the Southern Royal Sect. Their abilities, potential, and strength are all average, but they have an overly high opinion of themselves.
People like him can't be persuaded with words."
Hearing her man's words, Gui Ruixue, standing beside him, chimed in.
"People like this need to experience a hard fall before they reflect.
If we advise him now, he'll think we're trying to harm him.
It's better to keep our distance."
As she spoke, Chen Yifang had already pulled her along and continued forward.
"Watch today's challenge carefully, and you'll understand why we gave up your challenge qualification.
The Fifth Layer is where you are most likely to lose your footing."
Du Yan smiled and continued to talk to Su Chen as they walked.
Seeing this, Hui Yilian beside him could only shake her head helplessly.
It was almost the first hour of the day.
Finally, the people from Thousand Year Mountain began to take action.
On the central platform, those who came to participate in the challenge were asked to present proof of their demon slaying.
This was the registration ceremony.
The person in charge of verification was from the City Lord's Mansion of Red Maple City.
There were many people gathered at the summit of Thousand Year Mountain.
However, the number of people coming forward to register was rather small.
Su Chen carefully counted and realized that registration required the entire team of five to be present.
This made it easy to count the number of participants.
The registration process actually required some effort.
There were a total of twenty-one teams present, and most of them had sixty proof tokens of Great Demons.
Some teams seemed to be trying to pass off some demons' ears as belonging to different demons, making it difficult to distinguish between them.
So for these teams, the left and right ears were counted as two Great Demons.
But the City Lord's Mansion staff had seen this trick before and simply counted them as one Great Demon.
The annual argument had become tedious for the surrounding onlookers.
During the wait, Du Yan, Hui Yilian, and the others seemed to notice Su Chen and his four companions approaching the central platform.
"What are you doing here?" Du Yan asked with a slight frown, feeling a bit uncomfortable seeing Su Chen there.
"I'm here to watch the registration for the Thousand Year Mountain Challenge," Su Chen replied, not bothering to engage further.
The staff from the City Lord's Mansion, who were tallying the results at the front, began to shout to the crowd.
"Teams that have slain Golden Demons, please come forward for registration. Teams that have only slain Earth Demons, please wait to the side."
The City Lord's Mansion staff were experienced in this process.
Teams that had slain Golden Demons were usually not involved in such disputes.
To avoid having so many people waiting, they prioritized registering teams that had slain Golden Demons.
These teams were also the focus of the Thousand Year Mountain Challenge.
Most spectators were there to watch these teams' performances.
The City Lord's Mansion assigned another person to assist with the tally.
As Su Chen and his team approached, Du Yan seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, Su Chen's companions had already unwrapped their bundle.
Three Golden Demon heads were revealed, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
There were eight teams in total that had slain Golden Demons.
However, Su Chen's team was the only one that had slain three Golden Demons.
Du Yan and Hui Yilian exchanged glances, both surprised.
Chen Yifang, standing nearby, seemed to have figured out the reason.
"It's no surprise he bought the Golden Demon heads.
This young man must have some spare money.
He probably paid a high price for them.
It seems he was provoked by you and is determined to prove himself, even if it costs him a fortune."
Du Yan relaxed upon hearing Chen Yifang's words.
"Even if he can challenge Thousand Year Mountain, I doubt he'll make it past the second or third layers with that team of his."
Chen Yifang chuckled.
"When you were talking about him earlier, you said he wouldn't dare to come and participate in the challenge this month.
It's no surprise he's here to prove you wrong."
But upon hearing this, Du Yan's expression turned even more mocking.
