Chapter 90: Do You Want to spar with Me?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Upon hearing his words, everyone turned to look at the mountain peak opposite them.
At this moment, at the edge of the cliff, the fifty disciples of the Great Mystery Sect were huddled together, but none of them had any intention of crossing the mountain.
“Perhaps they want to preserve their strength…”
A neutral sect’s prodigy spoke up, trying to ease the tension in the atmosphere.
“Haha…”
However, when Gu Xuanyun heard this, he sneered and continued to say in a sarcastic tone, “Sooner or later, they’ll have to pass. What’s this talk about preserving strength? In my opinion, the Great Mystery Sect is afraid of losing face. None of these disciples have any real strength…”
“Can you please shut up?”
Before Gu Xuanyun could finish his sentence, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Gu Xuanyun.
Buzz…
He shot two sharp gazes toward Gu Xuanyun like two peerless swords.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a sound of breaking air rang out in the void.
“This…”
Gu Xuanyun’s expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly dodged to the side.
However, he was extremely shocked at this moment.
He did not expect Su Chen would attack him at this time.
How dare he!
Did he not know that the prince of the Darchu Empire was not far away?
However, Gu Xuanyun had no time to think further.
That was because the sharp glimmers were already before him, completely sealing off his escape route.
Gu Xuanyun had no choice but to raise his hand to defend against Su Chen’s attack.
After all, Su Chen’s reputation preceded him.
Although they might not be sure whether he had really killed dark creatures, it was a fact that he had entered the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm.
No one in the younger generation dared to underestimate such a casual attack.
Bang!
Gu Xuanyun put his fingers together and grabbed at the sharp glimmers that were coming at him nervously.
However…
The terrifying scene that he had imagined did not happen.
The moment the glimmers touched his finger, they turned into pure spiritual energy and dissipated into the world while his hands were left grasping at thin air, creating a resounding sound.
“What? Was I just played?”
Gu Xuanyun quickly reacted, his face alternating between pale and red.
Anyone who was toyed with for no reason would look displeased.
After all, there were not only peers but also elders and even a prince of the Dachu Empire present.
If nothing unexpected happened, his performance just now had probably been seen by these people.
He had to use all his strength to deal with Su Chen’s one glance.
Even if Su Chen didn’t really take action, the fact that he played with him was enough to make him feel humiliated.
Not only did he not see through the truth, but he also dealt with it with all his might.
The entire face of the Mystery Darkness Sect had been completely lost the moment he stood up to respond to the attack!
“SU CHEN!”
Gu Xuanyun gritted his teeth and uttered two cold words.
At this moment, he was extremely furious.
He was even angrier than Situ Feng yesterday.
That was because Situ Feng did not get back at him yesterday.
However, he had been played by Su Chen like a monkey.
Gu Xuanyun’s blood surged, and his face flushed with anger.
“Why? Do you want to spar with me? I’m more than happy to. There are still a lot of empty seats in the stage over there anyway. I don’t mind helping them warm up.”
Su Chen said with a faint smile.
He wasn’t the least bit anxious about today’s competition.
Because with Mu Qingxue around, the Great Mystery Sect would definitely be number one!
There might be some twists and turns in the process, but the final result was already determined.
Su Chen didn’t want to come and watch, but Elder Fan required him to be there.
Su Chen had no choice but could only force himself to come over. He was prepared to sit here for the entire day and cultivate the Heavenly Divergence Divine Art as a formality.
He had wanted to cultivate quietly, but Gu Xuanyun did not let him.
Gu Xuanyun had provoked him time and time again. If he didn’t do something, then the face of the Great Mystery Sect would be completely trampled under Gu Xuanyun’s feet.
“Humph!”
Gu Xuanyun snorted coldly.
He looked at Situ Feng, who had an indifferent expression and seemed to be unaware of all of this. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and threaten, “Su Chen, don’t be too arrogant!”
He did not have Situ Feng’s strength and confidence, so he could only threaten Su Chen.
As for taking action?
That was out of the question.
Su Chen was a peerless prodigy who had stepped into the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm.
While his cultivation was completely pill-fueled, making it easy for him to deal with those below his realm.
But when it came to comparing with Su Chen, he wouldn’t dare.
After all, the gap between the two was too huge.
“Haha… The Mystery Darkness Sect is nothing special. They’re only good at talking.”
Seeing this, Su Chen sneered and said disdainfully.
He would not let Gu Xuanyun off so easily.
Moreover, in this situation, he could completely use the system to increase his strength.
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, it instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
His words had no reservations.
He was no longer just targeting Gu Xuanyun alone. He was trampling the entire Mystery Darkness Sect under his feet.
Presumably, on the other side of the platform, someone might be getting restless.
Thinking of this, everyone turned to look at the other side of the platform.
As expected, on the grandstand, there was a white-haired old man who was currently blowing his beard and glaring at them with a furious expression.
This person was none other than the accompanying elder of the Mystery Darkness Sect!
“You… Su Chen, one day, I will make you pay for your words today!”
Gu Xuanyun clenched his fists tightly, his face reddened, and his eyes glowed with anger.
Then, he went to the other side and sat down cross-legged.
“Ugh, always talking big…”
Seeing this, Su Chen knew that his plan was going to fail. He could only shake his head helplessly and mock.
Time passed.
Soon, two hours passed.
The original tens of thousands of participants had been reduced to less than three thousand after the first round of selection.
The elimination rate was beyond everyone’s imagination.
Nearly half of the disciples of many sects had fallen into the valley.
Even the powerful Everlasting Sect had a few disciples who didn’t make it.
One could imagine how cruel this stage was.
The situation of the Great Mystery Sect wasn’t very good but also not bad.
Out of the 50 disciples that came, 31 succeeded in crossing the valley.
When Mu Qingxue crossed the valley, it caused a commotion.
Because she was the only disciple at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm who had successfully crossed the valley!
Although she had successfully crossed the valley, in the eyes of others, her journey would likely end there.
With so many Level Four or Five Qi Sea Realm cultivators present, it was simply impossible for her to defeat these prodigies with her cultivation at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm.
Even if she could luckily win one match, it was impossible for her to keep winning all the way through..
