Unrivaled Medicine God, page 377
Ye Yuan and Mu Yun chatted engrossedly, directly hanging Xiang Hao out to dry by the side.
And Ye Yuan completely disregarded his mockery. This made him very pent-up with anger.
But in front of Pei Wenqiang, he could not very well lose his temper too, and he could only sulk by the side.
“Heh, the three of you get to know each other more. This time, my face is all up to you guys to gain! Alright, it’s getting late. We should set off,” Pei Wenqiang said with a laugh.
…
Ye City was the largest city in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s southern part, ruling up to 200 major and minor forces in the vicinity.
The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land organizing the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time, this place naturally became the arena for the division tournament zones.
These few days, many people flooded into Ye City all at once. They were all here to observe this competition.
Although these people did not have the opportunity to take part, how could they miss this sort of grand event?
And those geniuses possessing the contestant slots were naturally received by the City Lord Manor.
But just a mere several hundred people was not considered much to the massive Ye City.
“Pei Wenqiang, I heard that you picked up a huge bargain this time and actually brought six cannon fodders over!”
The moment Pei Wenqiang and the others entered the door, they just happened to run into another group of people. That person in the lead opened his mouth immediately to mock.
“Wu Jianqing, several years of not seeing, why is your mouth still so smelly? If what I brought are cannon fodders, could it be that what you brought aren’t cannon fodders?” Pei Wenqiang said angrily.
“Hehe, this time, I’m afraid I’m going to have to disappoint you! Our Yangyuan City really produced an extraordinary prodigy this time! Obtaining one slot is absolutely a shoo-in! Peng Yan, why haven’t you quickly come over to greet City Lord Pei?”
A very withdrawn young man behind Wu Jianqing walked out and gave Pei Wenqiang a bow as he said, “Junior Peng Yan, pays respect to City Lord Pei.”
Pei Wenqiang’s expression changed as he said, “Seventh Level Boundless!”
It was also no wonder that Pei Wenqiang was shocked. To be able to reach Seventh Level Boundless at this age, not one of them was not a figure with astonishing talent. One had to know that these six people Pei Wenqiang brought here, the highest was merely Sixth Level Boundless.
Wu Jianqing said smugly when he saw the situation, “Peng Yan’s strength is even more formidable than you imagine! With him around this time, locking in one slot is absolutely no issue! How is it, got a feeling of being rolled over or not? Hahaha …”
Pei Wenqiang said with a black face, “Don’t get cocky! What the competition is competing in this time is not just cultivation realm! Concepts comprehension is similarly very important!”
Wu Jianqing laughed out loud and said, “Don’t need you to worry about this! Peng Yan’s concepts comprehension is absolutely much stronger than the group of trash you brought!”
Concepts comprehension was indeed very important. It was even more important than cultivation realm. But to be able to break through to late-stage Boundless Realm at this age, how could his concepts comprehension be weak?
This Wu Jianqing came from the holy land’s Wu Family. The Wu Family’s influence was about the same as the Pei Family. Moreover, they were on very bad terms. Therefore, he did not have the least bit of psychological burden when he ridiculed Pei Wenqiang.
Being able to find a Seventh Level Boundless genius this time, Wu Jianqing could be said to be in high and vigorous spirits.
“Yii? Among these six people you brought, there is actually still one who hasn’t even reached the Eighth Level Divine Traversing Realm? Pei Wenqiang, you’re managing two cities right now, and you actually can’t even gather six Boundless Realms? You even needed to find a Divine Traversing Realm trash to make up the numbers? Hahaha! You’re killing me!”
Wu Jianqing suddenly discovered the Ye Yuan in the crowd and started jeering even more unbridledly.
Peng Yan’s gaze swept onto Ye Yuan too, his eyes filled with ridicule and disdain.
The martial artists coming to participate in the competition this time were basically all Boundless Realms as the main force. Those extremely small minority of Divine Traversing Realm martial artists were all some small forces’ contestants, completely too inferior to show in public.
“Ah … Yang Wenmiao! It’s Yang Wenmiao!”
All of a sudden, there was a commotion outside the courier station. It was all the nympho-like screams of women.
In the wake of these screams, a group of people walked into the courier station.
“Lord Yang Sen!”
The city lords leading their respective teams this time all gave him a bow one after another when they saw a middle-aged man in the lead.
A handsome youth who was even more beautiful than women followed behind him. His aura was very powerful.
Those women’s screams were very clearly directed towards him.
“Huhu, how’s everyone! The Quasi-Holy Son selection this period of time, I’ll have to inconvenient everyone to stay in this courier station. If there are any areas where we didn’t look after you well, I hope that everybody is magnanimous enough to tolerate,” Yang Sen said.
“Lord Yang Sen is too courteous!” everyone hurriedly responded.
This Yang Sen was clearly very familiar with the various major city lords. After greeting, he found people to engage in small talk one by one.
Ye Yuan asked Pei Wenqiang curiously, “Who is this person? Seems very impressive.”
“Lord Yang Sen is Ye City’s City Lord, ruling close to 200 major and minor forces in the southern part. Do you think he’s impressive or not?” Pei Wenqiang said.
Only then did Ye Yuan came to a realization. No wonder these city lords were all very respectful towards him.
“Like this huh. That youth behind him seems to be very well-received here!”
“That is Lord Yang Sen’s son, Yang Wenmiao. He already reached Eighth Level Boundless two years ago. Within the entire boundary that Ye City has jurisdiction over, he’s the young generation’s number one genius! Plus, his looks are extremely handsome. Being well-received is naturally something within expectations. The competition this time, the number one in Ye City’s division competition zone, only he alone is qualified!”
Ye Yuan nodded his head to express understanding. Looks like this Yang Wenmiao was a formidable opponent.
One should not look at Yang Wenmiao’s refined and elegant appearance. Ye Yuan could tell that he did not treat these people in front as opponents at all.
That arrogance of his was hidden in the bones.
“Sigh, looks like the competition this time, we don’t have any hopes at all!” said a Clear Reed City’s young genius.
“Yeah. Just the Seventh Level Boundless this time, there are quite a few. Apart from Yang Wenmiao, the remaining five slots should be born among these Seventh Level Boundless Realms. Those few big cities ranked near the front, their strength is too strong. We have no chance at all!” said the stubborn and unruly Xiang Hao dejectedly.
Chapter 774. Monstrous Genius |
Yang Wenmiao’s appearance stirred up a wave of discussion.
Without any doubt, this Yang Wenmiao already locked down one quota. No one could shake him.
While the other five spots, the competition would probably be very intense.
Like Clear Reed City and Ancient Opulence City, this kind of cities, their strength were all weaker in comparison.
In the competition this time, there were still several Seventh Level Boundless young geniuses. They were the strong competitors for the other five quotas.
Therefore, the five people traveling together with Ye Yuan were all very dispirited. It seemed as if them coming here were also just going through the formalities.
Yang Wenmiao kept on following behind Yang Sen, an appearance of impassiveness.
But when his gaze swept onto Ye Yuan’s body, it suddenly paused for a bit.
Exceeding everyone’s expectations, he actually left Yang Sen and walked over towards Ye Yuan.
Each and every action of Yang Wenmiao received great attention. The moment he moved, it immediately aroused a wave of commotion.
Yang Sen gave his son a glance rather surprisedly, then turned his head over to engage in small talk with those city lords again.
“Yang Wenmiao is heading over to our side! He … What does he want to do?” Xiang Hao said rather guiltily.
Being affected by Yang Wenmiao’s aura, Xiang Hao was even stammering when he spoke.
“Relax. The competition hasn’t started yet. What can he do? I feel that he should be coming for Ye Yuan,” Mu Yun said.
Xiang Hao was stunned and actually forgot to be scared and said with a jeer, “What’s the unofficially decided number one of the competition looking for a Divine Traversing Realm boy for? In my view, he’s definitely here to look for City Lord Pei. After all, his elder brother is genuinely one of the Seven Holy Sons. Yang Wenmiao coming over to say hello is also within reason.”
Yet, Yang Wenmiao actually walked straight in front of Ye Yuan and said, “I’m called Yang Wenmiao. May I ask for Little Brother’s name?”
Ye Yuan was rather surprised.
No provocation, no tit-for-tat, just a simple greeting.
This Yang Wenmiao seemed to have a level-headedness disproportionate to his age.
And such an opponent was actually even harder to tangle with.
Ye Yuan said his own name with a faint smile.
Yang Wenmiao nodded his head and said, “You should be someone who practices the sword, right? You’re very strong!”
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, “Oh? How does Brother Yang know that I’m very strong?”
Yang Wenmiao laughed too and said, “Just a kind of feeling! Your sword intent is condensed but does not radiate. If not for my Sword Dao attainments not being low, I probably can’t even perceive it! I have a kind of feeling that your comprehensions towards sword intent should still be above mine! However, we probably won’t have the opportunity to exchange blows in the arena. Truly quite regretful.”
Yang Wenmiao’s swords were actually said very arrogantly. But when other people heard it, it was not unexpected in any way at all.
His Sword Dao attainments were very strong. This point was indisputable!
Except, what made everyone astonished was that Yang Wenmiao actually said that Ye Yuan’s sword intent was even above his!
Ye Yuan said with a laugh, “Huhu, there will be the opportunity.”
Yang Wenmiao nodded his head and said, “60 formidable experts like clouds. I must go and take part in the competition this time with my peak condition. Otherwise, this Yang would certainly find Brother Ye to spar for a bout. But it’s good too. Since I know that Brother Ye is under City Lord Pei, I’ll definitely come and find you to seek guidance another day.”
Finished talking, Pei Wenqiang greeted Pei Wenqiang, and turned right around and left, leaving everyone with astounded expressions.
“Is Yang Wenmiao having a fever? He actually said that that Divine Traversing Realm boy is very strong!”
“Yeah. That boy doesn’t have any extraordinary aspects at all. I feel that I can flatten him with one hand.”
“If not for the competition forbidding fighting in private, I’d really want to go experience just how strong this boy is!”
“Heh, no rush. The selection competition will be starting tomorrow. Whether its a mule or a horse, they got to come out and take a stroll.”
Yang Wenmiao’s actions aroused the mass of geniuses’ attention. They all started sizing Ye Yuan up one after another.
However, the result of the sizing up was that Ye Yuan did not have the slightest extraordinary aspect. He looked to be an ordinary Divine Traversing Realm martial artist.
“Ye Yuan, you really stick out. There are several hundred young geniuses here, but you just happened to be eyed by Yang Wenmiao. Could it be that your strength is really that strong?” Pei Wenqiang said rather curiously.
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, “Won’t you know tomorrow?”
…
On Ye City’s practicing field, six enormous arenas were set up.
The next day early morning, all of the contestants taking part in the competition all gathered at the practice field.
And at the peripherals, there were even dense crowds of meddlesome people surrounding and observing. It was just that they were blocked off by a massive array formation and were not permitted to enter.
But this distance was sufficient to let them see the situation on all the arenas clearly.
“Ah! Yang Wemiao! Go! Go! Wenmiao!”
These crowd of people spectating at the outer-peripherals, there was a large group of Yang Wenmiao’s steadfast supporters.
The competition had yet to start, and each and every one of them was like pumped with stimulants, cheering Yang Wenmiao on.
“Yang Wenmiao is really terrifying. Just these women army’s saliva can drown the opponents to death, right?” Xiang Hao stuck his tongue out and said.
“Martial artists’ world, only strength will have applause! Yang Wenmiao being so well-received is mainly still because his strength is formidable enough!” Mu Yun said.
“Yang Wenmiao’s strength is just able to crush his opponents in Ye City’s division competition area. Leaving Ye City, these defenders of his will probably be disappointed,” Pei Wenqiang said.
“Oh? This Yang Wenmiao’s strength is indeed extraordinary. Could it be that the other division competition zones are even stronger compared to Ye City?” Ye Yuan said curiously.
He was not clear about Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s power distribution. Just how strong these other division competition zones’ strength was, he had not the slightest clue.
Pei Wenqiang said, “Although the selection competition this time is dealing within the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s boundary, the strongest competition zone is actually still the holy land’s division competition zone! If there are no huge surprises, these quotas to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, in the end, are still going to fall on the holy land’s elites!”
“Then isn’t the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land taking an unnecessary action by organizing this competition?” Ye Yuan said curiously.
Pei Wenqiang shook his head and said, “Nay! The territory that a holy land has jurisdiction over is too vast. Even though the majority of the geniuses are placed into the bag by the holy land, there is still a small minority wandering about outside. These people feel it completely beneath their dignity to join the holy land, just like Jun Tianyu. Actually, with his strength, with the holy land’s resources grooming, becoming a holy son is virtually set in stone. This competition is for the sake of making good omissions and deficiencies, drawing those geniuses wandering about outside with the Crimson Afterglow Valley’s quotas.”
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “With how you say it, each division competition zone should have a batch of geniuses with extremely formidable strength emerge. Then you dare to be so certain that this number one will fall on the heads of the holy land’s elites?”
Pei Wenqiang’s expression appeared slightly solemn as he said, “I say this, naturally have my reasoning! Because among the holy land’s geniuses, an extremely monstrous genius appeared this time! His strength is probably sufficient to sweep across martial artists of the same rank! Although a batch of very formidable geniuses will emerge in the competition this time, I don’t think that among these people, there is anyone who can surpass him!”
Chapter 775. Experts Were Desolate like Snow |
“Oh? Who is this person? To actually live up to such a praise from you?”
Ye Yuan became somewhat curious thanks to what Pei Wenqiang said too.
Sweeping across same ranks, this was something that he, Ye Yuan, had been doing all along. If the holy land really had such a genius, he would really be a formidable foe.
“This person is already universally acknowledged to be the candidate for the next holy lord by many people in the holy land! His name is Nalan Chu!” Pei Wenqiang said.
“Nalan Chu …”
Ye Yuan silently remembered this name. Looks like wanting to obtain the slot to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, this person was the greatest obstacle.
But if it were really as Pei Wenqiang said, the competition this time would probably not be so simple.
Those so-called Seventh Level Boundless powerhouses might not be able to laugh till the end.
After all, cultivation realm was not everything in martial artist battles.
To ordinary martial artists, Seventh Level Boundless versus Sixth Level Boundless, the former was absolutely overwhelming. This is because their cultivation did not vary to a degree sufficient to reverse the situation.
But what these young geniuses placed the greatest emphasis on was concepts comprehension.
Seventh Level Boundless versus Sixth Level Boundless, the former might not necessarily be able to win.
Putting aside others, Ye Yuan felt that Mu Yun’s strength was probably not inferior to those so-called Seventh Level Boundless geniuses.
Of course, the factors affecting battles were too many. When the fighting really began, nobody knew the answer.
Moreover, the rules of the competition this time was rather ingenious. Setting up these six arenas was in order to pick six arena lords!
