Chapter 319: Are You, a Yunyang Sect Disciple, Helping Me Build Momentum Too?
Situ Sanping's loss should have been a shocking event.
However, the spectators seemed less surprised than expected.
Sun Xuerong's previous words had somewhat prepared them for Situ Sanping's defeat, making it less surprising.
Indeed, Sun Xuerong's earlier statements had some effect.
In the confrontation between Situ Sanping and Su Chen, the former clearly demonstrated the prowess of a Celestial Prodigy disciple.
But Sun Xuerong's earlier words made the spectators subconsciously think of conspiracies.
Although there was no evidence, Jin Gang City's collusion with Linhai Mansion did have such a motive.
For instance, Su Chen's public image remains that of an outstanding disciple who rose from humble beginnings.
While overlooked in Yunyang Sect, Su Chen's strength rapidly improved after receiving guidance in Jin Gang City.
The confrontation between Situ Sanping and Su Chen did not make Su Chen or Jin Gang City liars.
Below the combat arena, Sun Xuerong stepped forward again, her face exuding a strange aura.
"Everyone, see for yourselves, we weren't wrong, were we?"
Previously, she mentioned that the confrontation was to build momentum for Su Chen.
Clearly, this disciple rose to this position through boasting and hype, and now it seems he does have some skills."
Facing Sun Xuerong's taunts, Ouyang Chuan also stepped forward to speak for Su Chen.
"Elder Sun, you're good at spinning tales. After losing, you directly say Su Chen lacks ability.
Everything is just our Jin Gang City's hype and boasting.
Now that he's won, you say we colluded with Linhai City.
I, Ouyang Chuan, truly don't know what we colluded with Linhai City about. After losing, you're still acting shamelessly with our resources."
What's the point of colluding with such a sect?"
Hearing Ouyang Chuan's explanation, Sun Xuerong let out a light snort.
"On the surface, the relationship is tense, but who knows what happens behind the scenes?
If Linhai Mansion didn't collude with you, the first one to challenge Su Chen would be Situ Sanping, not us."
Poor Linhai City, feeling unwelcome in both Jin Gang City and Yunyang Sect.
Ouyang Chuan was speechless upon hearing this.
"Elder Sun, if you suspect us, it's because you're blind to Yunyang Sect.
If you won't suspect Yunyang Sect, you lack patience with sect disciples.
Your Yunyang Sect's system will bury many promising disciples.
Additionally, Su Chen has already won.
If you think there's a problem, you also have the chance to challenge him.
At that time, don't be unconvinced after your own warrior fights him. Be unconvinced then, stay unconvinced."
Ouyang Chuan's words seemed to make even himself angry.
But Sun Xuerong, standing beside him, remained reasonable.
"Elder Ouyang, rest assured. Yunyang Sect's disciples will go to fight him.
But don't think I'm unaware of your plans.
Confronting Situ Sanping exhausted a lot of mental energy, and now he'll fight our sect's disciples.
Even if he loses, he'll find an excuse.
It must be said that Jin Gang City's conspiracies and schemes do show some skill.
Ouyang Chuan glared at Sun Xuerong with disdain. This somewhat aged woman was truly annoying.
The spectators found the argument between the two major sect's elders and hall masters quite interesting.
Watching the spectacle, they didn't mind the escalating situation.
The more intense the commotion, the louder the argument.
The more chaotic it became, the more exciting it was.
On Yunyang Sect's side, Liu Xingwan's gaze had already swept through the crowd several times, still unable to find Chen Su's figure.
During a break, she also observed Su Chen and Situ Sanping's confrontation.
Regarding Chen Su, the impression that stood out was his Cloud Stride and the blade technique he used against the Earth Demon.
Precisely the Tai Xiao Blade Formation.
The formidable might of that blade technique was enough to make even the Earth Demon tremble.
Liu Xingwan still felt that Su Chen and Chen Su's figures were somewhat similar.
But during the recent test, she didn't notice anything unusual.
It was more normal for Su Chen to use Cloud Stride.
She didn't recall Chen Su using that blade technique either.
Shaking her head, Liu Xingwan tried to stop thinking about these strange things.
How could they possibly be the same person?
With Situ Sanping's loss, Yunyang Sect now has the chance to challenge Su Chen.
Proving Su Chen's strength to be false, Yunyang Sect can then ask Chen Su to fulfill his promise.
Su Chen didn't argue with them.
If words were to be believed, then Yunyang Sect's intention to challenge Su Chen was obvious.
The second prince of Great Zhou had already returned to the combat arena.
He began to announce the second confrontation.
The second challenge opportunity was left for the remaining disciples.
Everyone knew Situ Sanping would challenge Su Chen.
With him in line, the choice of opponent was among Fu Jianyun, Liu Xingwan, Gu Feng, and Shang Jia Yao.
Speaking of which, wasn't this just handing it over?
Not to mention the opportunity to showcase themselves, they might not even have a chance to demonstrate their skills.
They would be defeated quickly.
However, there was one thing—the second opponent he chose might also be targeted by others later.
After hearing the first prince's announcement, a warrior had already stepped forward.
After some hesitation, he finally chose Shang Jia Yao.
On the combat arena, the two of them faced off.
With this, Su Chen could be challenged again in the third round.
And the third disciple in line was Yunyang Sect's disciple, Wen Yuanlang.
Yunyang Sect's intention to challenge Su Chen was hardly concealed.
Everyone knew that Wen Yuanlang was the one Yunyang Sect had chosen to take down Su Chen.
Most of the spectators were likely anticipating this third confrontation."
After the third round of the competition, the argument between Su Chen and Sun Xuerong will likely escalate further.
For the onlookers, it will undoubtedly be even more interesting.
Below the combat arena, in the front row of the spectators.
Jin Shen once again called his daughter, Jin Yue, to his side.
"Although Tian's Spear City has made preparations, Yunyang Sect is not to be underestimated.
It's very likely that Su Chen's true strength will be revealed to the world this time.
When that happens, Yunyang Sect will take advantage of the situation to humiliate him.
Tian's Spear City will probably abandon him.
With so many people watching, they will likely use all kinds of harsh words to insult him.
At that time, Yue'er, you should go up and protect him.
Even if the world turns its back on him, our Jin Family is willing to be the power that stands behind him.
No matter how cold-hearted he is, he won't reject us anymore.
As for the specific words, let your mother explain it to you again."
Before his mother could speak, Jin Yue asked in a low voice.
"Father, Mother, do you really believe that Su Shixiong will lose? What if he wins?"
"You are in Tian's Spear City, so it's normal that you can't see the whole picture.
If Su Chen really has some ability, he wouldn't have been driven out by Yunyang Sect.
And your father, I have talked to him before.
Su Chen's talent and potential are just at that ordinary level.
I can't say for sure if he has the talent for alchemy.
Being noticed by a top-tier alchemist might indicate some talent for alchemy.
But in terms of martial arts, don't even think about it.
I can clearly see his strength."
After explaining, Jin Shen didn't want to say more to Jin Yue.
He waved his hand, signaling her mother to remind Jin Yue again.
How to speak to be more persuasive, and which words can touch Su Chen's heart.
While they were talking, the competition on the combat arena had already ended.
Shang Jia Yao won, and there was basically no suspense.
What surprised everyone was that his victory wasn't as clean and decisive as expected.
The disciples from various sects who came to participate in the Midyear Competition seemed to have some skills.
However, this round didn't attract much attention.
Everyone's gaze was still on the upcoming third round.
The Crown Prince of Great Zhou had already stepped onto the combat arena, announcing the start of the third round.
Wen Yuanlang was also well prepared.
"Remember, don't hold back, and don't worry about whether he can withstand your attacks.
You've all seen that Tian's Spear City has made special preparations.
Your task, Yuanlang, is not to defeat Su Chen, as many people can do that.
What the sect wants is for you to defeat him with one move.
Let everyone see that his abilities are all just empty boasts.
If you get entangled in a prolonged fight, it will be pointless, and even if you win, it will be of no use.
Tian's Spear City can easily argue that Su Chen's previous battle with Shangxuan consumed too much of his strength.
If he loses, it's understandable.
I won't say more, you know what to do."
Wen Yuanlang nodded and leaped onto the combat arena.
Before he could speak, Su Chen had already stood up and walked towards the arena.
"I, Wen Yuanlang, challenge Su Chen of Tian's Spear City."
As his words fell, Su Chen had already stepped onto the combat arena.
After all the twists and turns, this scene finally unfolded before them.
On Yunyang Sect's side, Sun Xuerong's face carried a faint smile.
Although Wen Yuanlang might make some mistakes, this battle would definitely reveal some truths.
Additionally, it would also let Su Chen suffer a bit.
Around the combat arena, the atmosphere was even quieter than before.
Wen Yuanlang's expression was solemn, and the tension was palpable.
Su Chen held a knife in his hand, standing on the other side of the arena.
"You're quite skilled at taking credit, and you're good at deception.
But without anyone to cooperate with you, I wonder how strong your martial arts really are."
As his words fell, Wen Yuanlang made his move! He did take Sun Xuerong's suggestion, and his long sword came out with a fierce aura.
In an instant, the surrounding area seemed to be filled with a chill.
In addition to the sword in his hand, the chill seemed to condense into sword edges, piercing towards Su Chen from all directions.
This move already carried the might of a sixth-stage expert.
The first person under the Celestial Pride, indeed, had some ability.
The numerous sword edges seemed to lock onto Su Chen, leaving him nowhere to escape.
Unexpectedly, when faced with these countless sword edges, Su Chen's body seemed to transform into a spirit snake.
He weaved and dodged, avoiding all the sword edges.
Even Wen Yuanlang couldn't capture his movements.
At this moment, Su Chen's 【Graceful】 Heavenly Destiny was activated, and his 【Lucky One】 Heavenly Destiny was also activated.
He directly utilized the 《Spirit Snake Binding Skill》 to its extreme.
Wen Yuanlang's attack carried a hint of ruthlessness.
But relying on his snake-like agility, Su Chen had already appeared behind him.
Facing the people of Yunyang Sect, Su Chen didn't want to give them any face, especially since they didn't hold back in their attacks.
The next moment, he followed up with a kick.
His sixth-stage strength was fully unleashed, and this sudden attack caught Wen Yuanlang off guard.
The first person under the Celestial Pride was directly kicked by Su Chen and sent flying, landing on the ground in an embarrassing manner.
Slowly getting up, a mouthful of fresh blood gushed out from his mouth.
Seeing this, Su Chen took a few steps forward and asked with a puzzled expression, "You, a disciple of Yunyang Sect, are also helping me build momentum?"
