Chapter 518: Reactions to Su Chen's Victory

Chapter 518: Reactions to Su Chen's Victory

December 12, 2024

The area around the dueling ground.

Su Chen had already left, but many others remained, not yet departing.

Today's duel had brought joy to the people of Zhou Kingdom.

Facing Jin Kingdom's top geniuses, Zhou Kingdom's talents still had the strength to fight.

The reality presented before everyone today declared this fact to all.

From now on, if the people of Jin Kingdom acted arrogantly in Zhou Kingdom, the people of Zhou Kingdom would have a response to counter them.

For the warriors of Zhou Kingdom, Su Chen's performance had also earned prestige for the entire kingdom.

The warriors of Zhou Kingdom were not to be underestimated just because of their origins.

Additionally, among the spectators of the duel, ninety percent of them were from Tian Gang City.

Su Chen was originally a disciple from Tian Gang City.

Such a performance made the people of Tian Gang City even prouder.

It is said that the land nurtures its people, and Su Chen's outstanding performance proved that the region of Tian Gang City was blessed with both talented individuals and spiritual energy.

On the other side, Upper Proclamation Master Shang Xuan Zhenren and his group also took a while to recover.

Finally, they understood why Su Chen dared to accept the challenge from Wulan Manor.

During his time in Jin Kingdom, Su Chen had grown too fast.

He had caught up with the talents of Jin Kingdom, erasing the gap between them.

The martial arts level in Zhou Kingdom was clearly inferior to that of Jin Kingdom.

Fu Jianyun was once hailed as the top genius in Zhou Kingdom, but when he went to Jin Kingdom, he couldn't even make it to the rankings.

Many of the young talents from minor sects could easily suppress him.

Beside Upper Proclamation Master Shang Xuan Zhenren, the four elders of Tahe Sect also exchanged glances.

The previous night, they had witnessed Su Chen's abilities in jade and medicinal pills.

They confirmed that Su Chen possessed remarkable talent in pill refinement.

And at this moment, they also witnessed Su Chen's martial talent.

Qin Wei recalled the time when he took Su Chen to the secret realm of their sect.

He had thought that Su Chen would come out soon.

But in the end, Su Chen ventured deep into the secret realm and stayed there for a long time.

At that time, they considered it an accident, and Qin Wei didn't think too much of it.

Looking back now, they could see the signs of Su Chen's talent back then.

On the Cloud Bright Sect's side, Taiwu Zhenren and the elders felt increasingly regretful.

After experiencing so many things, they naturally knew that Su Chen was capable.

Regarding the decision to expel Su Chen, they had been filled with regret for a long time.

They had sighed countless times.

But after witnessing Su Chen's performance today, Taiwu Zhenren and the others could no longer afford to feel regret.

What remained in their hearts was mostly regret.

What is destined to happen will happen, and what is not, should not be forced.

Perhaps Cloud Bright Sect was not destined to possess such a top-tier talent.

The raw jade bestowed by heaven must eventually be sent away.

Liu Xingwan gazed at the distant wilderness, and some people present were still worried about Su Chen.

But she was not concerned.

Liu Xingwan knew Su Chen's ability to deal with demonic beings. Even if there were dangerous heavenly demons nearby in the wilderness, it wouldn't be a problem.

Initially, when Su Chen accompanied her, they easily evaded the pursuit of demonic beings.

Su Chen seemed to have an uncanny ability to detect and confront them.

Liu Xingwan was not surprised by Su Chen's displayed strength.

She even anticipated such a situation.

Having completed several tasks with Su Chen, she knew that he always considered various possibilities.

Even for unexpected situations, he had prepared contingency plans.

By accepting the challenge, she believed that Su Chen must have thought it through.

The current outcome was not surprising.

The only thing that slightly disappointed her was that Su Chen didn't seem to have glanced at her much.

Aside from those who had direct interactions with Su Chen, most people came here out of curiosity.

The outcome was astonishing, but they didn't feel distressed.

Compared to them, the people from Tianfeng Valley, including Long Yunyun's family and the disciples of Tianfeng Valley, felt very uncomfortable witnessing the result.

Since they learned about Su Chen's acceptance of the challenge, they had their own expectations.

In their minds, Su Chen would suffer a crushing defeat, leading to an unfavorable outcome.

However, the result was completely different from their expectations.

Long Yunyun's family disliked Su Chen.

Because of Su Chen, they had suffered significant losses and endured numerous scoldings.

Long Yunyun used to look down on Tian Gang City and Jin Kingdom.

Even though she lost to Su Chen, and Tianfeng Valley's core disciple was defeated by him, she still maintained a sense of pride.

This pride told her that the warriors of Zhou Kingdom had their limits.

They were only surpassed by Su Chen, a warrior from Zhou Kingdom, because they were too weak.

In the end, Su Chen defeated Liu Siyun, the Core Disciple and direct descendant of the Liu Family, who had even bested Che Yanchang.

Long Guiniye, the head of his family, was truly shocked by this.

When he saw Su Chen injure Liu Siyun, he couldn't help but turn to Mu Danying and say, "Does your Tian Gang City really have such a deep foundation?"

Ever since Mu Danying married him, he had never looked up to Tian Gang City.

Today, he truly felt overwhelmed.

After more than a quarter of an hour, someone finally took the lead and left.

This time, several sects from Jin Kingdom had sent representatives to observe Wulan Manor.

They were concerned that Wulan Manor would escalate the situation, causing an uncontrollable crisis and leading to major issues in Zhou Kingdom.

Before sending representatives, they hadn't anticipated that Wulan Manor would encounter such a situation.

They had witnessed an unexpected event, perhaps even a historical moment.

Wulan Manor had come to deal with a young man, and that young man had appeared.

However, not only did they fail to resolve the problem, but they also lost face.

The esteemed Wulan Manor had spoken grand words, making all sorts of promises with utmost clarity.

But in the end?

As a major sect in Jin Kingdom, they completely disregarded their promises.

They had said that if Su Chen won, everything would be forgiven, and other matters would no longer be held against them.

But in reality?

All those promises turned out to be false.

Sun Xuerong and several guards from Wulan Manor, seizing the opportunity, directly attempted to ambush Su Chen.

Forgiving past grudges was all nonsense.

They thought Su Chen wouldn't anticipate their sudden attack.

Using this opportunity, they wanted to put an end to this matter.

But Su Chen had already guessed their intentions.

Fan Chengyan, known for her domineering nature, would not hesitate to take any action.

Sun Xuerong and her group had thoroughly lost face this time.

Not only did their attack on Su Chen fail, but they also ended up trapped in a formation array.

At this moment, they were still trying to find a way to escape from the formation.

When Sun Xuerong saw Su Chen fleeing into the distance, she had already anticipated her fate.

Not only did she fail to attach herself to Fan Chengyan, but she would also be pushed out by Wulan Manor to take responsibility.

This blatant breach of promises would surely spread throughout Jin Kingdom along with today's events.

It would have been fine if Su Chen had been captured, as the farce would have ended.

The key point was that Wulan Manor had expended so much effort, yet they still failed to capture Su Chen.

This incident would spread widely in Jin Kingdom.

Good news travels fast, and bad news spreads even faster.

Wulan Manor's embarrassing situation would not be covered up by other sects.

Instead, they would eagerly spread the related news.

This sudden duel finally came to an end.

The result shocked everyone.

Although everyone was surprised, their thoughts varied greatly.

Some were delighted, while others were anxious and worried.

There were also those who came purely to watch the spectacle.

For Su Chen, he had achieved his goal this time.

Wulan Manor, which had targeted him in various ways and sought to take his life, would directly feel the crisis.

For the error-free version, read it at 69shuba! 6=9+shuba_bar first release of this novel.

From now on, Su Chen no longer had to worry about Wulan Manor finding him, his mother, or his younger sister.

Wulan Manor, on the other hand, would be plunged into endless anxiety.

Even if several disciples left the manor together, they would still have to be cautious and vigilant.

Su Chen had injured Liu Siyun to such an extent.

Furthermore, he didn't even consider whether he would provoke enemies or attract threats from the Liu Family.

This showed that Su Chen was even less worried about Wulan Manor.

When it was time to take action, he would definitely do so.

Anxiety and unease would soon engulf Wulan Manor.

So many people had come together this time.

It was impossible to hide or suppress the news.

Facing Wulan Manor, Su Chen already had a well-thought-out plan in mind.

Many people in this world bully the weak and fear the strong.

The more one yields, the more ruthless the oppression becomes.

When dealing with Wulan Manor, there was no use in yielding or avoiding their edge.

It was all useless.

Ever since Sang Mo Yuan found out about him obtaining Jing Bo Immortal's treasure, this trouble had become unavoidable.

They not only wanted to take the treasure from him, but they also wanted to seize the items left behind by Jing Bo Immortal.

Moreover, they aimed to take his life.

Before this, no matter how low-key he tried to be, it was of no use.

They had always been investigating him and his family.

This vast world was unpredictable, and no one could guarantee against unforeseen circumstances.

One day, a sudden exposure could mean the end of one's life.

Having provoked Sang Mo Yuan and Fan Chengyan, one might live a life of constant hardship.

Given this, he had to strike back.

He wanted them to feel the pressure, anxiety, and worry.

He, on the other hand, would feel more relaxed and safer.

The same went for his mother and younger sister.

In the wilderness, Su Chen ventured deeper to assess the situation in the southeast of Zhou Country.

As he traveled, he felt an overall sense of stability.

In the nearby areas, there were only scattered ordinary demonic beings.

Even as he passed through, Su Chen didn't spot a single Earth Demon.

In recent years, Tian Gang City's borders hadn't expanded outward.

In fact, not just Tian Gang City, but the border-guarding sects like Yun Yang Sect hadn't pushed outward in the last few years.

After all, in the past two years, the main focus of the major sects had been on the dispute with the Great Zhou Imperial Family.

Until the imperial issue was fully resolved, everyone would likely be tied up.

Su Chen detoured, entering Jin Country from the eastern border of Great Zhou.

Along the way, Su Chen reflected on and assessed his own strength.

Many people didn't recognize or understand their own abilities, but Su Chen's judgment about himself was correct.

This time, he further verified his own strength.

Initially, when he first arrived in Jin Country, the various situations he heard from others made it seem like the gap between the younger generation of Jin Country and himself was as vast as the sky and the earth.

It was a difference between heaven and earth.

It was only when he went to the Ming Ying Battlefield for training that he heard about the strength of the younger disciples of Jin Country, and he was quite amazed.

But when he actually reached that point, he felt that it wasn't that extraordinary after all.

In the secret realm left behind by Jing Bo Immortal, he harvested and improved step by step.

Now, it was very normal for his strength to surpass that of the younger generation of Jin Country.

When he broke through from the Sixth Stage to the Fifth Stage, Su Chen had already gained some confidence.

Especially after the Xuan Ying Conference and his confrontation with Jun Han.

Although it was an assassination attempt, he could clearly sense that Jun Han's counterattack didn't pose much pressure.

However, the Xuan Ying Conference wasn't very indicative.

Many sects wouldn't send their top disciples to participate in the Xuan Ying Conference.

Or perhaps, the top disciples of these sects had already attended the Xuan Ying Conference long ago.

Su Chen might not have encountered them the last time he went.

This time, he had truly and thoroughly proven himself.

Liu Siyun's strength had already demonstrated capabilities far surpassing her peers.

In the end, she lost to Su Chen without the slightest suspense.

Su Chen's current strength could be said to surpass most young disciples.

However, to completely resolve his crisis, this strength was still far from enough.

After all, he had to face Fan Chengyan.

She had already reached the Perfect Transformation of the Transformation Realm, constantly touching upon the edge of the Unity Realm.

In the eyes of others, Su Chen had progressed sufficiently fast.

But compared to his heart's goal, Su Chen also knew he was far from it.

This time, he had gained some advantage.

Yet in his heart, he remained vigilant and alert.

Excessive joy could lead to sorrow, and the people of Wulan Manor might increase their manpower during such times.

If he became complacent and lost his guard, he would more easily fall into their traps at this moment.

Su Chen tried to maintain a calm mind as much as possible.

After detouring through the wilderness and returning to Zhou Country, he briefly stopped and stayed in a random city.

Using these few days, he recovered his physical condition.

At the same time, he also waited for news from Tian Gang City.

How much impact did his actions have?

When Su Chen fought with Liu Siyun, he didn't suffer any significant injuries.

At most, he expended a bit more energy.

Liu Siyun, a core member of the Liu family, had martial strength that Su Chen acknowledged.

Although she couldn't match him, she was part of his family, she was by no means inferior.

From her strength, she was undoubtedly a very promising martial artist.

After three days of rest.

During these three days, Su Chen maintained silence.

He didn't take this opportunity to find his mother and younger sister.

He wouldn't give the people of Wulan Manor any chance.

After suffering a significant loss at his hands, would the people of Wulan Manor search for him throughout Great Zhou? Such a situation was highly likely.

Unfortunately, Su Chen didn't give them any chance.

The more it was at such times, the more he needed to maintain silence.

Starting from the fourth day, Su Chen began to gather information.

But he didn't actively seek it out, only listening to rumors and hearsay.
