In the projection, Chen An took advantage of the situation and pretended to be the final boss of the trial grounds. He teased the four geniuses who arrived at the top of the mountain later.
Looking at this scene in the projection, the upper echelons of the Holy Land could not help but twitch their lips.
“Isn’t this disciple of the Hundred Flower Hall too immature?”
“That’s right. After all, he’s a great cultivator of the Immortal Realm. Why is he still so playful?”
“This person is just relying on the fact that he’s a Lower Realm cultivator who cultivates both immortal and martial arts and has a powerful body. If they can use spirit energy, he might not be as good as a disciple of our Talisman Hall.”
“The Newcomer Trial is just a small competition. Its true strength depends on the Hall Master Trial.”
“That is indeed the case.”
For a moment, many Hall Masters criticized Chen An in the trial grounds and even belittled the value of the Newcomer Trial.
Fortunately, it was not the disciples of their hall who were showing off. If it was the disciples of their hall, the Newcomer Trial would be the most valuable trial.
Chen An’s arrogant behavior at this moment could also be beautified as motivated.
Hearing these Hall Masters belittling Chen An, Hua Xuanyin was immediately unhappy.
Chen An was the Deacon of the Hundred Flowers Hall, and she was the Hall Master of the Hundred Flowers Hall. To belittle Chen An was to belittle the Hundred Flowers Hall, and to belittle her, the Hall Master of the Hundred Flowers Hall.
Hence, she did not indulge these Hall Masters who belittled Chen An. She retorted, “Since the physical bodies of the disciples in our hall are weak, we should properly increase the strength of their physical bodies and not belittle others to elevate ourselves. What a shame!”
Her retort was very loud, and everyone present heard it.
For a moment, the scene was dead silent.
But soon, an indignant Human Resources Hall Master retorted,
“I’m telling the truth. Isn’t this disciple of your Hundred Flower Hall just pretending because he cultivates both Immortal and Martial Arts and his body is stronger than others? If he can use spiritual qi, can he still have such a suppression?”
“Everyone from the Martial Hall, the words of this old man from the Human Resource Hall are undoubtedly targeting you. Why aren’t you scolding him?”
Hua Xuanyin pulled the people from the Martial Hall into the water to increase her combat strength.
On the other side, in the pavilion.
A woman emitting holy light was sitting upright on a colorful jade chair. She was watching the scene in the trial ground through the projection in front of her.
When she saw Chen An transform into a demon to play with the four geniuses who had reached the top later, she, who had always been unsmiling, could not help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a rare beautiful smile.
“Interesting.”
As she said this, her gaze was fixed on Chen An in the projection. It landed on his handsome face and did not move away for a moment.
When the two Immortal King maids beside her saw this, their pupils dilated a little, and they were very surprised.
The Holy Lord actually smiled?
How many years had it been since they last saw the Holy Lord smile?
A hundred thousand years?
A million years?
The more the maids thought about it, the more unbelievable they felt.
Among them, the maidservant on the right asked gently, “Pavilion Master, do you need me to inform this disciple of the Hundred Flowers Hall to come to the Sacred Palace to see you after the trial is over?”
“There’s no need. I’ll see him when 1 want to.”
The smile on the Holy Lord’s face had already disappeared, and there was only her usual coldness.
It was as if that smile just now could only bloom in front of Chen An.
When the two maids saw this, although they were puzzled, they did not dare to ask further.
At the top of the mountain in the trial grounds.
When Chen An said that they would attack together, the four genius new disciples frowned at the same time. They felt that they were being looked down on.
They were extremely displeased about this, but they did not lose their minds and try to be brave. They did not go forward to challenge him alone.
Ruan Xuanming, who had the strongest physical body, was the first to ask, “I suggest that the four of us attack together. What do the three of you think?”
Meng Shu’an from the Talisman Hall: “Attack together.”
Bai Jingda from the Martial Hall: “Let’s go together.”
Ji Yuyang from the Alchemy Division: “1 have the same thoughts as you guys.”
The four of them knew their limits and did not choose to challenge Chen An alone.
He understood that cooperation was the only way now.
“If the four of us join forces, even a Quasi-Immortal King will have a chance to be killed. We’ll definitely snatch this flag!”
The moment he finished speaking, the ground under Meng Shu’an’s feet exploded with a bang. It was his calf that exerted strength. In the next moment, his figure flashed and turned into a stream of light as he charged at Chen An.
Seeing this, the other three also followed suit and attacked Chen An.
Talismans, poisons… He used all kinds of methods.
However, his goal was not to defeat Chen An, but to temporarily repel Chen An so that he had a chance to cross the real line and snatch the flag behind Chen An.
In the face of these attacks, Chen An did not dodge. He chose to take them head-on expressionlessly.
After resisting it, his feet did not move at all. He only used his qi and blood to release it on the spot and forced the four people who wanted to cross the solid line back.
“Is this blood essence serious? How can it be so dense?!”
Ruan Xuanming’s face was filled with doubt. After sensing the power of Chen An’s Vitality Force, he was immediately so shocked that he lost his balance.
He was also a cultivator from the Lower Realm and had mastered both
Immortal and Martial Cultivation.
However, in front of Chen An, who was at the same level as him, the difference between his physical strength and his blood essence power was like a chasm.
Bai Jingda, who was also from the Martial Hall, was also shocked to the extreme. However, he was not shocked. Instead, he could explain himself.
“The other party is a demon. His body is naturally stronger than humans. It’s normal for there to be a difference.”
Meng Shu’an from the Talisman Hall and Ji Yuyang from the Pill Hall didn’t say anything. One of them was a talisman crafter, and the other was an alchemist. It was normal for their physical bodies to be weaker. They didn’t feel depressed because of the difference between them and Chen An.
Soon, the four of them attacked again.
However, the result was still the same. They were all forced back by Chen An’s simple release of Qi and blood.
It happened several times in a row.
Gradually, the four of them realized that it was impossible for all of them to pass through the real line.
Hence, they began to have selfish motives and did not do their best. They even sold their teammates.
Seeing this, Chen An shook his head and released all his blood and Qi, causing the four of them to faint.
After a while, the four of them gradually regained consciousness and crawled up from the ground with difficulty.
When Chen An saw that they had woken up, he slowly walked to a spot not far from them and stopped. He stood with his hands behind his back and put on an old-fashioned attitude. He reprimanded them.
“Selfish and lacking teamwork. You’re not worthy of the words ‘newbie genius’!”
Being reprimanded by a “demon” like this, the four of them could not help but lower their heads in shame, feeling completely embarrassed.
At this moment, Chen An turned around and stopped in front of the flag behind him. He bent down and pulled up the flag. He raised the flag in his hand and said, “Only I am worthy of the words ‘newbie genius’!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the four of them were a little stunned. They could not react to what was going on.
Before they could figure out what was going on, everyone in the trial ground was teleported out in the next moment.
The flag was snatched away, and the trial was over.
