Chapter 285: What Did You Call Me, Looked Down Upon, Lan Yu Volunteers
“Damn it, damn it!”
“How’s that possible?!”
Chang Tian attempted to channel his spiritual energies and the Purple-Blooded Overlord Physique, which was a terrifyingly powerful Supreme Physique.
In the past, he needed only to activate this physique in order to overwhelm any opponent, and that included Supreme Honorables.
Yet on this day, his physique was not functioning!
No matter how he attempted to activate the Purple-Blooded Overlord Physique or channel his spiritual energy, the golden hand did not move a single inch.
“Even your Sage won’t dare to speak to me like that, yet a Young Emperor like you dares to disrespect me?!”
Chu Kuangren said firmly.
“Chu Kuangren, let go of me!”
“Let go of you? Sure.”
Chu Kuangren waved his hand and the golden hand immediately flicked Chang Tian off as if he was just a housefly.
Chang Tian’s body was propelled like a cannonball, creating shockwaves in the air everywhere he flew past. He attempted to activate his spiritual energy to stabilize his body but to no avail. The force exerted on his body was just too strong!
There was no way he could break free from such force.
Seeing that he was about to be smashed into pieces on the arena’s wall, a gentle energy barrier was formed in his path, creating a cushion that securely embraced his body.
“Brother Chu, aren’t you behaving too unreasonably?”
In the void, a man’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Oh, this voice’s familiar.”
Chu Kuangren stroked his chin for a moment before he finally recalled. “It’s the person who cut off his arm at Clear Winter Valley.”
“You…”
The voice now sounded agitated. However, before he could utter any further, Chu Kuangren violently unleashed a palm technique towards the void.
Boom!
Massive ripples formed around him, seemingly distorting the void.
Out walked a middle-aged man in black cloth.
The man was emitting a burst of Sage’s Daoist Rhymes and his aura was magnificent but his expression at that moment was extremely glum.
He was the Overlord Tribe Sage whom Chu Kuangren had forced into amputating his own arm, and he was none other than Graygrill Sage.
Graygrill Sage glared at Chu Kuangren and said, “Chu Kuangren, you attacked without saying a word. Isn’t that disrespectful?”
“You didn’t even bother to show yourself to talk to me. Perhaps I should’ve asked if you even take me seriously at all!” Chu Kuangren snorted.
The Graygrill Sage was speechless.
He knew that if he were to utter any further nonsense, Chu Kuangren would not let the issue rest that easily.
Thinking back to the incident in Clear Winter Valley where he was forced to amputate his own arms, he could not help but feel a numbing sensation coming from his recombined limb.
“Chu Kuangren, this is the First City, and the championship is still ongoing. Let’s both take a step back and put this issue to rest. How about that?’
Although his tribe’s Young Emperor was tortured and he was forced to reveal himself, Graygrill Sage still did not wish to fight with Chu Kuangren. The only thing he could do was concede.
“Brother Chu, the championship needs to go on. Please stand back.”
The three judges for the championship had also come to persuade Chu Kuangren.
“I’m not an unreasonable person. But as the Black Heaven Sect Leader, I can’t just let a youngster berate me like that,” said Chu Kuangren calmly.
Everyone else looked at Chang Tian.
These all happened because Chang Tian decided to provoke Chu Kuangren. In order for Chu Kuangren to stand down, it now all boiled down to how Chang Tian would react.
Chang Tian did not know how to react. He was so pissed that his face twitched.
“Just let Chu Kuangren have it and continue the championship. Don’t lose your life just because of your emotions!”
Graygrill Sage whispered to Chang Tian from the void.
Chang Tian took a deep breath and finally said, “Brother Chu…”
“What did you call me?”
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly, “Brother is a salutation used amongst cultivators of the same status. Do we belong in the same status?”
Facing Chu Kuangren’s sarcastic remark, Chang Tian could only suppress the anger within him. “Sect Leader Chu, I sincerely apologize to you for my mistake. Please forgive my rashness.”
“What a pleasant remark. I’m guessing deep down you really want to cut me alive, don’t you? Never mind. Regardless, it’ll always remain as wishful thinking anyway.” Chu Kuangren smiled and proceeded to ignore Chang Tian.
Seeing that issue finally blew over, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chu Kuangren were to really kick up a fuss, who could constrain him?! Not unless if the Sages of all sage orthodoxies interfered.
“Alright, let’s continue the championship.”
The Thirteenth Prefect said.
The audience had yet to recover from their previous shock.
The power Chu Kuangren had just demonstrated was far too terrifying. A single move from Chu Kuangren was sufficient to suppress the strongest Young Emperor of the Overlord Sage Tribe. Even a Sage was forced to appear but he too could do nothing.
“Only one can lead the sky-prides? Kuangren of the Black Heaven it shall be… I’ve always thought that such a remark was an exaggeration. But that doesn’t seem like the case now. In fact, this remark may even be an understatement!”
“Young Emperor Chang Tian is the strongest amongst all the Young Emperors. Yet he could not even defend against a single move from Chu Kuangren. Chu Kuangren has far surpassed the standards of all sky-prides. He’s definitely an alien!”
“This era is destined to be his.”
The audience engaged in exciting discussions.
The sky-pride’s championship no longer seemed as interesting anymore.
No matter how bright these sky-prides shined or how stellar their performances were, they all paled in comparison to Chu Kuangren.
Not a single person was not surprised by Chu Kuangren’s abilities.
Lady Snowflake of the Heaven Chord Sect, Jing Nian from the Sky Emperor Palace, and many other ladies were infatuated by such a sight.
“This is what a true sky-pride should look like. How fearsome!”
“Chu Kuangren is like a dragon living among mankind!”
“Sigh, I was so irritated by the fact that he rejected my invitation for a music session. Looks like I’ve overestimated my importance.”
…
“Sect Leader Chu, you’re truly a force to be reckoned. It’s a shame that you can’t participate in this championship. Otherwise, Black Heaven Sect will definitely win it!” the Overlord Tribe Leader said.
There was a hidden meaning to his remark. It meant that if Chu Kuangren did not participate in the championship, there was nothing to fear about Black Heaven Sect!
The Overlord Tribe Leader turned and left without waiting for Chu Kuangren’s reply.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the other disciples frowned.
“They’re looking down on us.”
Murong Xuan lightly stroked his chin before saying to Chu Kuangren, “Sect Leader, send me up later. I can’t wait any longer.”
“Sure. The Beast Summoner Tower needs two participants. Other than Murong Xuan, is there anyone else who’s interested?”
Nangong Huang was just about to volunteer. “Me…”
“I’ll go.”
He was interrupted by a determined voice from behind.
The disciples turned around to look at Lan Yu in surprise.
Chu Kuangren was also caught off guard. “Lan Yu, do you want to participate?”
“Yup.”
Lan Yu was determined.
“Sounds good, go ahead then.”
Chu Kuangren did not decline her request.
When all the sage orthodoxies of Group Alpha completed their round, a light above the Beast Summoner Tower flashed, and once again, one hundred beasts manifested. It was now time for the orthodoxies in Group Beta to compete…
Soon, the orthodoxies of Group Alpha, Group Beta, and Group Gamma had each completed the Beast Summoner Tower round.
In each of those groups, the orthodoxies that had amassed the most points were the Overlord Sage Tribe, Tempest Mountain, and the Sky Emperor Palace respectively.
“I now invite the members of Group Delta to draw their lots.”
