Chapter 210: Self-righteous!

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Self-righteous!

“Senior Brother Cheng Junxian wasn’t even a match! Could it be that Luo Cheng’s strength truly knows no bounds?”

“No wonder he dared to boast so arrogantly. His strength has already reached the peak level of a Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artist! No, it’s even at the pinnacle level!”

“Unbelievable. He’s merely at the Middle Stage of the Tongxuan Realm First Layer!”

Seeing Cheng Junxian unconscious on the arena stage, everyone was stunned, their mouths agape in shock.

Many were completely caught off guard by this outcome.

One moment ago, Cheng Junxian stood on the stage, commanding presence, vowing to use Luo Cheng’s blood to redeem the honor of the Crown Prince Hall!

In the next instant, Cheng Junxian was sprawled out on the ground like a dead dog, his spear stripped away, his clothes gone.

Such a dramatic reversal was simply staggering!

The disciples of the Crown Prince Hall were utterly silent.

Many of them had been excitedly anticipating how Cheng Junxian would torment and humiliate Luo Cheng, and their exhilaration had yet to fade from their faces.

But the scene before them made their faces burn as if they’d been slapped.

The angriest among them was undoubtedly Ren Xiaoguang.

He had just scolded Luo Cheng as a fool, only for Cheng Junxian to meet a crushing defeat moments later!

Wasn’t this akin to slapping himself in the face?

“Damn it! He’s supposed to be a worthless nobody! How could someone who merely reached the Golden Body Realm become so absurdly strong?!”

Ren Xiaoguang’s face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth.

Qi Guyun said nothing, but his gaze grew even frostier.

Cheng Junxian was sent out on his orders, yet he suffered a humiliating defeat.

This was undeniable proof of his poor judgment. From childhood until now, Qi Guyun had never experienced such a stinging failure!

In the VIP seating.

All the Elders were equally dumbfounded.

“Even Cheng Junxian isn’t a rival for him. Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?” one Elder blurted out.

The other Elders also wore expressions of astonishment and doubt.

Defeating a Late Stage Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artist while at the Middle Stage of the Tongxuan Realm First Layer! This wasn’t just a matter of surpassing one’s level!

If Luo Cheng were a genius, they could perhaps accept it!

Back when Yun Mengli had just broken through to the Tongxuan Realm, she had also personally slain over a dozen Tongxuan Realm Second Layer bandits, causing a sensation!

But Luo Cheng was no Yun Mengli.

The Martial Soul Yun Mengli awakened was the Spirit Martial Soul, a Martial Soul surpassing even Super Martial Souls! A one-in-ten-thousand prodigy of the heavens!

Meanwhile, Luo Cheng’s Martial Soul wasn’t even awakened fully!

To put it bluntly, in terms of aptitude, the two were as different as heaven and earth, not even worthy of comparison.

The Fifth Elder pondered for a moment and said, “It must be because he cultivated the Golden Body Realm.”

Another Elder refuted, “Impossible! Reaching the Golden Body Realm merely ensures one has the strongest physique among peers of the same level. It’s not sufficient to overcome opponents across such a massive gap! Luo Cheng’s current feats already rival those of Yun Mengli in the past! It can’t be explained by achieving the Golden Body Realm alone.”

The Fifth Elder shook his head and replied, “The Golden Body Realm is called the foundation of Supreme Martial Arts for a reason. There may be secrets we are unaware of. This realm hasn’t been successfully cultivated for several centuries, and records are bound to have gaps. Otherwise, how else can we explain what we are witnessing?”

“This…”

The crowd fell silent, eventually nodding in begrudging agreement.

Beyond this, there seemed to be no plausible explanation for everything happening before them.

Qin Douyuan had remained silent from the beginning.

He didn’t care whether Luo Cheng’s strength came from cultivating the Golden Body Realm or some other reason.

He only cared about one thing—whether Luo Cheng lived or died.

“Keep digging your own grave!”

Staring at Luo Cheng, Qin Douyuan sneered inwardly.

Luo Cheng’s arrogance had already stirred overwhelming animosity among the Crown Prince Hall. With every opponent he defeated, that hatred only deepened!

At this rate, Qin Douyuan didn’t believe Luo Cheng would step off the stage in one piece!

No matter how strong Luo Cheng was, he was still merely at the Middle Stage of the Tongxuan Realm First Layer. Could he truly sweep through all Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artists?

In the arena.

Luo Cheng stowed away the Rock Splitting Spear, then thoroughly looted Cheng Junxian.

This man was indeed talented and wealthy.

Besides the Rock Splitting Spear, he possessed nearly ten million taels of wealth, and even his clothes, woven from premium Yunlin gold thread, were worth tens of thousands. Luo Cheng took it all for himself.

Bang!

Stripped bare, Luo Cheng gave Cheng Junxian one final kick, sending him flying off the stage. His gaze then swept across the members of the Crown Prince Hall as he taunted:

“Didn’t you all claim that any random senior brother or sister would be enough to crush me like an insect? Come on up, then.”

The members of the Crown Prince Hall seethed with rage.

However, having witnessed Cheng Junxian’s crushing defeat with their own eyes, they no longer dared to recklessly utter threats.

Otherwise, failing to follow through would only bring disgrace upon themselves.

“You brat, you’re far too arrogant!”

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

But it was not from the audience; it came from the entrance to the Martial Arts Square.

A youth clad in green stood at the entrance, striding slowly toward the arena.

The green-clad youth appeared fifteen or sixteen years old, a sword hanging at his waist. Handsome and refined, he exuded an extraordinary demeanor. His sharp eyes seemed to pierce straight through those who dared meet his gaze, stinging like needles. Bloodstains still marred his clothing, evidence of a recent fierce battle.

“Huh? It’s Senior Brother Gao Yuan!”

“Senior Brother Gao Yuan is back! I heard he recently took on an advanced three-star mission to eradicate Kuifeng Village! His return must mean the mission is complete!”

“Eradicating Kuifeng Village?! Hiss! The two Village Chiefs of Kuifeng Village are both at the pinnacle of the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer! The village houses over a hundred fighters, many of them experts… How could one person possibly take them all down? That’s unbelievable!”

The crowd’s curiosity and excitement surged, their eyes fixated on the green-clad youth as discussions broke out.

“It’s really Senior Brother Gao Yuan!”

“Senior Brother Gao Yuan! Please teach this brat a lesson and show him the power of our Crown Prince Hall!”

The Crown Prince Hall disciples, upon spotting Gao Yuan, instantly became energized.

Gao Yuan had long reached the peak of the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer in his cultivation and was even a middle-level Sword Heart Swordsman. His strength was so formidable that even Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Martial Artists had suffered defeats at his hands!

Bluntly put, Gao Yuan’s prowess represented the absolute pinnacle of the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer!

“Haha, Gao Yuan, your timing couldn’t be better!”

Ren Xiaoguang laughed heartily.

Among the Outer Sect disciples of the Crown Prince Hall, there were several Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artists.

But Ren Xiaoguang lacked absolute confidence in any of them defeating Luo Cheng.

Now that Gao Yuan had returned, he would undoubtedly defeat Luo Cheng and redeem their honor.

Gao Yuan paid no attention to the stares from the crowd and calmly ascended the stage, stopping twenty steps away from Luo Cheng. His flowing black hair and bloodstained garment gave him an almost ethereal swordsman aura.

Glimpsing at Luo Cheng, Gao Yuan’s gaze remained indifferent. Shaking his head, he spoke:

“You have some skill, but no restraint. So ostentatious. Someone like you wouldn’t normally warrant me taking action. However, your arrogance has crossed the line. If I don’t step in, others might assume the Crown Prince Hall is without talent!”

Luo Cheng sneered, retorting with ridicule:

“You speak of restraint, yet aren’t you acting self-important yourself? Don’t bother lecturing me. You don’t have the right. And as for your confidence in victory—are you that sure you’ll win?”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly before relaxing as he shook his head:

“A frog in a well. Some outcomes are determined the moment they begin and can never be changed.”

“Like how your Wasted Martial Soul doomed you to mediocrity.”

“And, like how today, you will fall beneath my sword…”

“Such is your fate!”
