I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1676
1676 The Bet With Hua Xianyuan
After becoming famous overnight, there were many pairs of eyes watching Chu Yunfan’s residence. Clearly, the attention of the sect’s higher-ups and various major factions had begun.
However, to Chu Yunfan, these were all things that didn’t matter. He didn’t care for them. He very well that no matter how much these people paid attention to him, in the end, it still depended on his strength. If he wasn’t strong enough, it would be difficult to make these people look at him.
Three days after Chu Yunfan handed in Lone Star’s mission, a person’s arrival attracted everyone’s attention, especially the spies who were wandering outside Chu Yunfan’s residence. They all looked at the newcomer strangely.
“Why is Hua Xianyuan here? Is he planning to fight Chu Yunfan?”
“It’s possible. When the Gao twins wreaking havoc, only the two of them could defeat the twins. This means that Chu Yunfan’s strength cannot be underestimated. If there is anyone in the same generation who can compete with Hua Xianyuan, it is probably Chu Yunfan.”
“I think so too. It’s very likely that Hua Xianyuan is interested in hunting.”
Many people speculated. But before they could make any more guesses, Chu Yunfan’s voice came from the courtyard.
“Come in.”
Hua Xianyuan smiled when he heard this, and then strode into the courtyard. The barrier around the residence was then activated, blocking everyone’s vision. No one knew why Hua Xianyuan had come. Some people hoped that he would explode and fight with Chu Yunfan. It would be best if he could bring Chu Yunfan down.
“Sorry I did not welcome you properly.” Chu Yunfan walked out of the backyard. In front of him, a youth stood with his hands behind his back. It was none other than Hua Xianyuan.
Hua Xianyuan, on the other hand, looked indifferent. He was clearly not interested in these formalities. He sized up Chu Yunfan from head to toe, and his eyes lit up. In an instant, he attacked.
Boom!
It was as if the world was instantly torn apart. Hua Xianyuan’s hand tore through everything in the air and slapped toward Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yunfan’s reaction was even faster. He blocked the hand with a punch.
Bam!
Terrifying aftershocks spread out in all directions, causing the barrier in the entire courtyard to shake violently. The spies of the various large factions who had been waiting outside for this news were dumbfounded. This was a plan to make a move at the slightest disagreement. Some of them had a hint of surprise and joy in their eyes.
“I have no ill intentions.” Hua Xianyuan stopped and looked at Chu Yunfan quietly.
“I know. Otherwise, you would already be dea,” Chu Yunfan said as he glanced at Hua Xianyuan.
Chu Yunfan had felt a strong fighting spirit from Hua Xianyuan’s attack, but it was indeed as Hua Xianyuan said, he had no malicious intent, nor did he have any killing intent. That was why Chu Yunfan was willing to stop. Otherwise, today would be a situation where one would not rest until the other was dead. Even if the other party was a seed dsiciple, it would be meaningless to Chu Yunfan. Anyone who touched his bottom line would die.
Hua Xianyuan looked at Chu Yunfan’s words cheekily and said, “Among our peers, you’re the first person who managed to block this move of mine.”
“Then I can only say that you’re inexperienced,” Chu Yunfan said indifferently.
Chu Yunfan had the memories of the Alchemy Emperor in his mind and had seen countless outstanding people. Every single one of them was a heaven-defying monster. Hua Xianyuan might seem extraordinary to others, a rare genius that could only be seen once in hundreds of years, but to Chu Yunfan, he was not amazing.
“Whatever you say.” Hua Xianyuan shook his head, a hint of arrogance on his face. He naturally did not take Chu Yunfan’s words to heart. How could there be so many geniuses at his level? Otherwise, all of Grand Xia would enter a golden age. He was confident in himself.
However, he didn’t know that Chu Yunfan was talking about the Ancient Zenith Civilization. At that time, mankind had developed to an extremely prosperous level. Geniuses were like fish crossing the river, and there were countless geniuses among geniuses. That was an era where emperors stood side by side. Many people were not inferior to the emperors of the same era when they were young. They could be said to be stunning.
“If you have something to say, just say it. I believe you’re not here to chat with me out of boredom,” Chu Yunfan said.
“Of course, I have a reason for coming here. Are you interested in making a bet with me? Let’s see who will become the champion of the inner disciple competition,” Hua Xianyuan said calmly.
Chu Yunfan glanced at Hua Xianyuan. He hadn’t not expected Hua Xianyuan to mention this. Every year, the Flying Celestials would hold a competition for the inner disciples. Such competitions for disciples of all levels never ceased. This was like raising venomous insects, creating an intense competitive atmosphere. The winner would take everything, and the rewards of the annual competition were enough to the inner disciples drool. However, the difficulty was unimaginable.
In the Flying Celestials, those below the Abstract Stage were fringe disciples, and those at the Abstract Stage and Abstract Observance Stage were inner disciples. Those above the Abstract Observance Stage were the legendary elite disciples. Interpretors did not participate in these competitions, but it did not mean that the competition among the inner disciples was small.
The Flying Celestials would select countless geniuses from throughout Grand Xia every few years. In addition to the geniuses nurtured by the sect itself, it could be said that geniuses came from were everywhere. Under such circumstances, one could imagine the competition here.
If one could win the competition, there would be many benefits. There was no doubt that it would allow one to be reborn. In the past, there had been many geniuses who suppressed their cultivation and did not advance to the Abstract Interpretation Stage just to do so during the competion and become the champion.
Generally, new disciples would not choose to participate in this kind competition because it was basically to give the older disciples a chance of winning. The talents of these old disciples were not inferior to them. The resources they enjoyed in the sect were not something that the new disciples could compare to.
The Gao twins, who had beaten all the new disciples to the point where they could not fight back, would have been beaten into a pulp within minutes if they had challenged the old disciples of the Flying Celestials. There were plenty of people who could defeat them.
Generally, only the best among the new disciples dared to participate in such a competition, but they did not dare to say that they could win the championship. That was simply impossible. The new disciples would find it hard to win.
And Hua Xianyuan wanted to bet with Chu Yunfan on who would win as if he would surely be the champion. Once this news spread, everyone would be dumbfounded.
