“Did Bai Feng lose on purpose?”

“Does Ling Long Celestial Palace really possess such great ability in training disciples?”

Bai Feng’s defeat was too straightforward, and that was why some people suspected it.

However, such voices didn’t affect the others, as all experts could discern with a single glance that Bai Feng had used his full power.

In the next several battles, the Celestial Palace’s disciples showed outstanding power, and all seven disciples were already first rank group’s experts.

The one among them who showed the most shocking performance was Qiyu Peak’s Qin Ming. His opponent was from the Xia Clan, and he called himself Moving Mountain King. He was well-known for his excellent brute power.

But when the two people just started fighting, Qin Ming managed to send his opponent flying with a single strike from his hammer, and he ended the battle.

“I might as well continue forging iron.” Qin Ming, who got the victory, wasn’t delighted. Instead, he was quite disappointed.

When the crowd heard his words, they were left speechless.

“Zhang Fu, come back home with me.”

The one fighting in the next battle was Ling Long Celestial Palace’s chief disciple, the black-clothed woman, and her opponent was Black Dragon Prince from the Xia Clan.

The Xia Clan focused mainly on the inherited bloodlines, and this guy had a black dragon’s bloodline. He possessed the strongest defensive and offensive power possible, and it could be said that he was the strongest person that came into the stage until now.

This guy had a special relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Fu, as she was his fiancée.

Zhang Fu was one of the nation’s famous female geniuses, and Black Dragon Prince had taken a liking to her. He didn’t give regard to her personal feeling and forcefully set an engagement with her that determined their relations.h.i.+p as fiancé and fiancée.

Zhang Fu couldn’t bear such a fate, and she went to Ling Long Celestial Palace. But on this day, Black Dragon Prince came here to take her back.

“You will go back disappointed like that guy from the Heavenly Sword Mountain,” Zhang Fu spoke.

“Humph, I really can’t understand why you don’t like me. You are truly a genius, but I’m not any worse,” Black Dragon Prince said.

“The person I will marry into will be someone I want to marry.” Zhang Fu was still unmoved, and she was quite ice-cold.

“Humph, Black Dragon Punch.” Black Dragon Prince got angry, and he attacked suddenly and decisively.

When Jiang Chen heard his fist technique’s name, he was startled, and he almost a.s.sumed that he really knew the Black Dragon Punch. But when he carefully observed him, he discovered that it wasn’t the case.

It was just a fist technique created through imitating a Dragon Punch’s principles, and the person who came out with such a set of fist techniques was anything but simple. This technique contained the essence of the true Dragon Punch, and it could be considered a martial technique of the highest grade that was second only to Extreme Martial Techniques.

However, it still wasn’t an Extreme Martial Technique.

“Thunder Dragon Punch!” Zhang Fu also used a fist technique, and what was interesting about it was that it was also derived from the true dragon punch. But it was still a true Extreme Martial Technique.

The dragon punch was a Dragon Clan’s technique, and if humans managed to learn it, it would rival an Extreme Martial Technique. But there was still a little difference between the dragon punch and Extreme Martial Techniques.

Now, Jiang Chen managed to discern where such differences lay.

Zhang Fu was a lightning method’s inheritor, and she cultivated through the Thunder Dragon Punch Technique. She was the second youth other than Jiang Chen himself that grasped the Lightning Rule.

But she was still far from reaching the Bright Realm.

Since an Extreme Martial Technique faced a high-grade martial technique, the outcome was obvious. Black Dragon Prince suffered a miserable defeat, and since disbelief was plastered on his face, it could be discerned from that Zhang Fu learned the Thunder Dragon Punch in Ling Long Celestial Palace.

“Ling Long Celestial Palace is anything but simple.”

All seven battles ended, and Ling Long Celestial Palace got an overwhelming victory.

The objective of the opening day’s event was achieved, and the show ended perfectly.

This was why Baili Zhan revealed a bright smile.

The people that came here still wished to enjoy this event, and it was especially the case for the people who wanted to see Ling Long Celestial Palace be embarra.s.sed.

“You have obviously said that it’s a compet.i.tion of nine battles. But only seven battles were carried out now. Can’t Ling Long Celestial Palace find an eight or ninth outstanding disciple?”

A talented youthful expert started raising difficult questions, and he was one of the siblings from the Divine Blade Manor, Gu Chuan, and his big brother Gu He. They were both people who didn’t get an opportunity to fight like most talented youths here.

Moreover, after the two siblings got to know that Jiang Chen was the person who cut off Chen Dong’s two fingers, they pondered over a way that could help them save their junior brother’s face.

But it was a pity that Jiang Chen was Ling Long Celestial Palace’s Deputy Faction Master, and he still killed Yin Yunke with a single sword strike. It wasn’t easy to make trouble for him.

When the event was about to end, and the two siblings sighted upon Chen Dong and Yan Ying’s disappointed look, they decided to do something.

The two people’s power was higher than Black Dragon Prince, and they had great authority among the talented young experts.

“We are seven here, and you can challenge anyone you want among us,” Qin Ming said loudly.

The other six people didn’t have an objection, and they all wore a provocative look.

“Today’s challenges aren’t to see how strong is your group, but to see how many like you can Ling Long Celestial Palace train.”

“You have obviously formed nine branches, yet you only have seven people. Isn’t such a matter unacceptable?”

The two brothers spoke one after the other, and they didn’t let go of this matter.

“Ling Long Celestial Palace may even have spent the forbidden land’s whole resources on those seven people.”

“It’s quite likely.”

Some people, who have a hidden agenda, started adding fuel to the fire, and they all hoped that this affair would become more grave.

Baili Zhan, who had just witnessed the event about to end perfectly, was fuming with rage. But the Gu family’s brothers were just Martial Emperors, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to scold them.

“What do you want?” It was obviously up to Jiang Chen to deal with this matter.

The two brothers exchanged a glance and revealed a complacent faint smile.

“You are Ling Long Celestial Palace’s Deputy Faction Master. This is why you are qualified to join them to make up the numbers and represent a branch.”

When the crowd heard such words, they realized that the brothers’ target was Jiang Chen.

A Deputy Faction Master at the Martial Emperor Realm might easily end up running into such problems.

“You are from the Divine Blade Manor, aren’t you?” When Jiang Chen detected the blade spirits in their bodies, he understood something.

“That is right, do you dare to take us? We have two people, and you can pick anyone you want.” The two brothers spoke bluntly and challenged Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Gu Chuan and Gu He were taken aback. They didn’t expect that Jiang Chen would cover in front of so many people.

A disdainful smile appeared on their faces, and when they were about to mock Jiang Chen, they were startled by his actions.

Jiang Chen pointed at both brothers, and spoke calmly, “I will represent two branches. So, come at me together.”

Jiang Chen didn’t need to say anything more, as such words were enough to stun the crowd.

“You are aware that you can’t use external power, aren’t you?”

“It didn’t matter whether the Sovereign Road will allow the usage of external power, as it’s only through a fair battle can a person’s true power be seen, and it isn’t through strong weapons gotten by chance.”

The two brothers a.s.sumed that Jiang Chen wanted to have with them the same type of battle he had with Yin Yunke. They both witnessed Yin Yunke’s miserable death and didn’t have the gall to carry out such a type of fight with him.

“You aren’t Martial Saints. So don’t let your imagination run wild.” Jiang Chen grinned as if he had just heard a joke.

“Wow!”

At this moment, even the Celestial Palace’s seven elite disciples were astounded.

If he didn’t use external power, then Jiang Chen was just an ordinary late-stage Martial Emperors, and he would be facing two apex Martial Emperors, as well as the three rank groups’ restrictions.

“Our Deputy Faction Master…” Qin Ming scratched his head, and even after he pondered over this for a long while, he didn’t manage to come up with suitable words to describe Jiang Chen.

“Don’t underestimate him. He’s someone who can let the chief suffer losses.” Meng Kong felt like he must now inform the others about this matter.

“Are you talking about your Hundred Swords Peak’s chief?” The other six people were startled.

“That is right, and he hadn’t even used external power,” Meng Kong spoke once again.

“What the h.e.l.l! Why didn’t you say it earlier? Our Deputy Faction Master is probably too powerful,” Qin Ming spoke excitedly.
