Chapter 301: The Mountain Lords' Strength
Chapter 301: The Mountain Lords' Strength
Du Yan and Hui Yilian's expressions were more relaxed.
"He thought he embarrassed us, but in our eyes, he only appears more ridiculous.
Without the capability, he insists on competing.
After spending so much to participate in the Millennium Mountain training, but in the end, he might not even be able to defeat the third layer."
Hui Yilian beside him also shook her head.
"I wonder which family's descendant is so willful.
Since he has the qualification to participate in the Millennium Mountain Challenge, why doesn't he find a few powerful helpers?"
"With just a few days, he wants to find powerful helpers, but there's no opportunity now.
At this time, those warriors with some skills have already formed teams."
Their conversation was quite loud, and many people overheard it.
Many believed that Su Chen's three Golden Demons were indeed bought.
In their discussions, many were also curious.
They wanted to know from whom Su Chen bought the demons and how much he spent.
In Red Maple City, those who could sell three Golden Demons to Su Chen were limited.
But after all the talking, it seemed no one could uncover the truth.
However, the crowd didn't disbelieve it.
After all, Su Chen was previously under Du Yan's command.
What Du Yan said, they were more inclined to believe.
At the first hour and a quarter, the registration finally ended.
Today's challenge had a total of twenty teams.
The teams that had argued over the demon-slaying counts secretly had backup plans.
They wanted to bluff their way through.
If they couldn't, they would reveal their trump cards.
After the registration, today's Millennium Mountain Challenge officially began.
A middle-aged warrior stepped forward and spoke some formalities.
He then mentioned some changes to the Millennium Mountain Challenge.
Starting next month, the challenge's timing would vary each month.
It might be in the middle or at the end of the month.
Red Maple City wasn't trying to make things difficult for anyone.
By setting the challenge in the middle of the month, warriors wouldn't go to slay demons during this period.
The demons in the wilderness, after many years, had begun to notice some issues.
They would deliberately choose this time to launch sneak attacks on Red Maple City.
Changing the timing also prevented the demons from understanding the pattern, avoiding major problems.
From this perspective, Su Chen felt that the people in the City Lord's Mansion had some brains.
They knew the demons would plan for this.
Underestimating those beasts would lead to a heavy price.
Many things couldn't be predicted by the demons.
Otherwise, they would counter the warriors based on the pattern.
With all the necessary announcements made, today's Millennium Mountain training officially commenced.
According to the arrangements of the City Lord's Mansion, teams that had slain Golden Demons could choose their order of appearance.
Like Su Chen's team, which had slain three Golden Demons, naturally had the right to choose.
Su Chen glanced at the order of appearance and then selected a position before Du Yan's team.
For him, today's most crucial matter was to witness the strength of the Millennium Mountain's Mountain Lord.
Several powerful teams had already chosen to go first.
To gauge the Mountain Lords' strength, it was natural to observe their challenges.
Among them was a team that had also slain three Golden Demons.
Su Chen overheard some news from others' conversations.
The five members of this team were all at the Inner Mansion Realm and above.
They intended to collaborate as a team to win the sixth layer.
Su Chen had heard people mention before that the Mountain Lords of the sixth and seventh layers of the Millennium Mountain were the top warriors in the Anshan Kingdom's court.
With the five of them taking action, and witnessing the sixth layer's Mountain Lord in action, they would get a glimpse of the top powerhouses in this region.
Even if there are differences, they are not as significant as one might imagine.
As for Du Yan's team, Su Chen actually had no interest in watching their challenge.
Du Yan, with only Seventh Stage Initial Realm strength, was already thinking of challenging the fifth layer, so there wasn't much point in watching the fifth layer.
The third hour of the morning.
The first team to challenge stepped forward, an ordinary team.
The second and third teams were both capable of slaying Golden Demons.
The first team, it seemed, was forced to take on the challenge.
This team intended to challenge the fourth layer.
Within the team, the captain was of Seventh Stage Initial Realm strength, while the others were at the Eighth Stage Profound.
Here, their strengths were all at the Gate-Breaking Realm, with the captain at the peak of the Breaking Boundary Realm.
Opposite them stood a middle-aged man with a stern face, the Mountain Lord of the fourth layer.
A sound of knocking echoed, and the five of them made their move.
These five had decent coordination, but their luck wasn't great.
The fourth layer was likely a level that many teams would challenge.
Being the first to challenge, the Mountain Lord had the most remaining energy, making it the hardest for them to win.
On the central battle platform, the Mountain Lord had already started to engage.
With Seventh Stage Profound Realm strength, the fourth layer Mountain Lord only had Seventh Stage Profound Realm strength.
The five warriors who came to challenge, aside from the difference in realms, also seemed inferior in their cultivation techniques.
The fourth layer Mountain Lord was holding back, and as a result, none of the five were a match for him.
The five of them left with some complaints, grumbling about being thrown into the first challenge.
After this team's challenge ended, the following two teams were no ordinary ones.
Both teams intended to challenge the sixth layer Mountain Lord.
Discussions among the onlookers began to increase.
The ten people from the two teams seemed to have quite a reputation in Red Maple City.
During the wait, Du Yan's group would occasionally glance at Su Chen.
It seemed they wanted to see the expression on Su Chen's face.
But to their disappointment, Su Chen watched the fourth layer's battle with a calm demeanor.
On the central battle platform, the second team had already stepped forward.
The sixth layer Mountain Lord followed and stepped forward.
This Mountain Lord appeared much older, no longer with a stern expression.
Instead, he wore a smile.
"Last time, you young friends used an encirclement technique, but it didn't seem very effective.
I hope this month, you'll be able to improve."
The five people before him seemed to have challenged here before.
The Mountain Lord even offered them some guidance.
In the blink of an eye, the challenging five had already made their move.
Their five-person team had clearly practiced together.
Their techniques connected seamlessly, launching relentless attacks, not giving their opponents a moment to breathe.
But these five were only at the Seventh Stage Middle Rank.
Here, even the Seventh Stage Middle Rank was referred to as the Inner Mansion Realm.
Yet before them, this sixth layer Mountain Lord was at the Sixth Stage Middle Rank.
Although there was a numerical advantage, the difference in strength and realm was significant.
Moreover, this sixth layer Mountain Lord had much richer experience.
The small tactics and strategies they employed were all seen through.
Without even using his full strength, he defeated his opponents.
This battle drew exclamations from the surrounding spectators.
In their eyes, it was an exciting fight.
But Su Chen's mind was calculating even more.
It seemed that here, the warriors' strength and realms were also quite ordinary.
Feeling he still had some energy left, he wondered if he could write another chapter, the latest being by tomorrow morning at the latest.
