Chapter 391: 388: Obstruction_1

Because as long as he had enough time to prepare, materials, and Spirit Stones, he was confident in killing a powerful True Martial Realm cultivator.

This was not an exaggeration.

The applications of Spirit Talismans were vast and versatile, making it difficult to estimate their potential! Unfortunately, a Spirit Talisman capable of killing a True Martial Realm cultivator was too difficult to create for him at the moment, and nearly impossible with his current financial resources.

Of course, if he had five million Spirit Stones in hand, his hidden cards might be sufficient. It wouldn’t necessarily be able to kill a True Martial Realm cultivator, but severely injuring one would not be a problem.

However, thinking about such things now was still a bit premature, as he still hadn’t mastered the art of creating basic Spirit Talismans. So what was the use in thinking so far ahead?

And so, time passed.

Ten days were like a fleeting moment.

Soon enough, it was ten days later.

In these ten days, Beishan Main City had been in turmoil.

Whether others recognized it or not, Beishan Main City was indeed the best place for cultivating talents in the entire North Mountain County. Both Canghai Sect and Yuanshan Sect were weaker compared to Beishan Main City. This was not to say that winning the Genius Selection Competition would put talents on par with the geniuses of Beishan Main City.

There was no way around it. The older generation had many geniuses.

If this generation couldn’t do it, there was always the previous one.

If the previous generation couldn’t do it, there would be the one before that.

There were just too many geniuses in Beishan Main City, and every generation saw the emergence of a few demonic ones. They had abundant resources and financial support in cultivating talents.

This classification by generations also led to various taboos, such as new talents not attempting to challenge the older ones, especially the outstanding talents of the previous generation. Otherwise, they would be severely punished by the previous generation’s talents.

There was no other reason than the fact that those talents had cultivated for several or even more than ten years longer than the young ones. How could they compete with that?

Even if the new talents had greater aptitude, those of the previous generation were not weak either.

Yang Chen, however, made a move that many considered insane.

He accepted Shao Ming’s challenge and decided to have a decisive battle with him in the main city of Beishan Main City, in front of countless people.

At this moment, in the center of Beishan Main City, under a magnificent Exotic Beast statue, a sea of people gathered. Among the crowd were people from Beishan Main City, Canghai Sect, and various other sects and forces of the Six Sects. All the major powers had branches in Beishan Main City, and upon hearing the news, they naturally came here to watch the excitement without a second’s hesitation.

Shao Ming had already arrived in the center of the crowd. He looked confident and seemed to consider his victory a foregone conclusion, leaving no suspense.

Different opinions could be heard non-stop in the crowd, with each person expressing their thoughts on the competition.

“Who do you think will win?”

“Yang Chen is indeed a rare genius of his generation, but since he won the Genius Selection Competition, he seems to have become arrogant. Doesn’t he know to show enough respect to the talents of the previous generation? I think he’s too proud and doesn’t take Shao Ming seriously. Shao Ming just wants to teach Yang Chen a lesson. In fact, Yang Chen is really foolish. He doesn’t think that Shao Ming is a genius from the previous generation who has been cultivating for at least seven or eight years longer than him. What can he use to fight Shao Ming?”

In the crowd, there were some who didn’t know what had happened but ventured to express their opinions.

Many people were like this, knowing nothing but blindly speculating as if they understood everything.

“It won’t be easy to defeat Shao Ming. He has been famous for more than ten years, and his genius has been nothing short of miraculous. He has been praised and remembered by many!”

“Speaking of which, where is Yang Chen?”

Yang Chen had not yet arrived.

As they watched Shao Ming wait for half a day without any sign of Yang Chen, many people began to wonder if Yang Chen was too scared to come.

The most anxious ones were the Yuanshan Sect members who stayed in Beishan Main City.

There were hundreds of them in the city, managing business and cooperating. Most of their cultivation level was at the Elementary Martial Realm. When they learned that Yang Chen wanted to compete against Shao Ming, they panicked.

They wanted to find him, but couldn’t.

They wanted to persuade him, but had no way to do so.

All they could do was stand guard here, hoping that if Yang Chen encountered any difficulties while fighting Shao Ming, they would be able to help him.

However, they had been waiting here for quite a while without seeing Yang Chen appear.

It was at this moment that someone suddenly shouted, “It’s the Young Sect Master! The Young Sect Master is here!”

Unbeknownst to them, Yang Chen had been flying over from a distance.

The Yuanshan Sect warriors who stayed in Beishan Main City hurriedly went to greet him. Upon seeing Yang Chen, dozens of them bowed respectfully and said, “Greetings, Young Sect Master!”

The highest cultivation level among them was at the Elementary Martial Realm Peak, a level far below Yang Chen. Naturally, they dared not be disrespectful and immediately addressed him as Young Sect Master.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile at the sight of so many Yuanshan Sect warriors. He was initially surprised, but quickly understood their intentions and said, “What are you all doing here? Don’t you know I’m here to compete with Shao Ming?”

“Young Sect Master, this… This is absolutely unacceptable! You must think about it. How old are you and how old is Shao Ming? He is at least ten years older than you. That’s ten more years of cultivation. With your talent, there’s no need to fight Shao Ming at all.”

“Young Sect Master, please reconsider!”

“Young Sect Master…”

They all tried to persuade him.

There was no other way.

They hadn’t met Yang Chen before and had no feelings for him, but they still had to try to persuade him. If something happened to Yang Chen, and Mù Báishēng’s investigation found that they had neglected him, they would be in trouble if he decided to vent his anger on them. Thus, they could only try their best to persuade him, fearing that Yang Chen might do something irrational.

Seeing the Yuanshan Sect members attempting to dissuade him, Yang Chen felt both amused and helpless: “All of you, step aside.”

“Young Sect Master, please think twice…”

“What? Do you want people to call our Yuanshan Sect a bunch of cowards if your Young Sect Master doesn’t participate in the fight today?”

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s remark, the Elder disciples of Yuanshan Sect had no choice but to step back. They sighed and prayed in their hearts that nothing would go wrong for Yang Chen.

Yang Chen knew that they were worried about him, but since he dared to come, he wasn’t afraid of Shao Ming at all.
