However, in the next moment, a pair of eyes converged on Yang Chen almost simultaneously. Undoubtedly, Yang Chen, who has defeated even the genius nurtured by a huge force like the Red-clothed Gang, has become the focus of this Coming of Age Ceremony.
This focus far exceeded everyone’s initial expectations.
Generally speaking, even if a certain outstanding young genius is excellent, it wouldn’t lead to those love-stricken girls competing with red eyes. Such fierce competition could hardly be seen once in the Coming of Age Ceremonies held by various clans every four or five years.
For such a genius, the word ‘excellent’ is no longer enough to describe them.
But things are different now.
Yang Chen’s appearance has driven the girls from the foreign races wild with jealousy.
“Daughter, you’ve seen Yang Chen’s achievements; his future is bound to be ImmeasuraD1e. Altnougn 1, your tatner, Know tnat you are sny, It’S still wortn fighting for. Maybe this Yang Chen is especially partial to your personality? Yang Chen is a sought-after treasure, though you are a woman, it’s better to be proactive.”
“Daughter, this Yang Chen, if we can get him, even the Clan Leader will have to be polite to us. Our small clan can’t even think of climbing the genius of the Great Tribes. However, this Yang Chen is no worse than the geniuses cultivated by those Great Tribes.”
Many elders who brought their daughters to the Yang family’s Coming of Age Ceremony to select Dragon-descending handsome grooms began to instruct their precious darlings after seeing such a result.
Before the Coming of Age Ceremony ended, Yang Chen had already become the target of jealousy among countless people.
Yang Heng’s father, standing in the crowd, was originally comforting Yang Heng who lost his power. However, at this moment, seeing Yang Chen defeat the domineering Xu Hu, he couldn’t help but take a gasp of cold air.
The man sighed, ‘Yang Heng, remember, never provoke Yang Chen again. He is no longer someone you can provoke. If you provoke Yang Chen again, even your father’s status in the Yang family won’t be enough to protect you.”
Yang Heng’s face was full of malice, and it was unclear whether he had heard his father’s words. He just responded with a quiet grunt. But seeing the coldness on Yang Chen’s face, there was still no sign of reduction. Now, the most regrettable person must be Zhou Huaiyi, who betrayed Yang Chen once.
Seeing Yang Chen defeat Xu Hu with a strong posture, becoming the most outstanding genius in the Yang family, and being the most dazzling existence in today’s Coming of Age Ceremony, his intestines were regretful.
It is well known that the evaluation of a genius’s position in the family is mostly based on the Coming of Age Ceremony.
Even if Yang Heng and Yang Wu were once very powerful, now that they have both lost in the Coming of Age Ceremony, can they count on the family to take more care of them? Is it possible?
He thought he had made an exceptionally wise choice by climbing onto Yang Heng’s high branch.
But looking at it now, he made an extremely foolish choice.
Today, Yang Chen will inevitably soar into the sky and become a genius who will be fully cultivated by the Yang family.
He didn’t know why he chose to betray Yang Chen back then. What actual benefits did he get after betraying Yang Chen? Yang Heng gave him nothing, even treating him completely as a servant, not even as good as before when he was with Yang Chen.
At least when he was with Yang Chen, he could receive something called ‘respect.’
Even if he had stayed with Yang Chen for two more months and showed his sincerity, he would have been able to soar to the top today. But it was those two months that he chose to betray.
What’s the point of saying these things now?
It’s too late for everything; it’s too late.
Meanwhile, Yang Caidie led her sisters, rushing out of the crowd and coming to Yang Chen’s side.
“Darling, are you okay? You didn’t get hurt.” Yang Caidie asked with concern. Yang Chen smiled and said, “Older sister, do I look like I’m in trouble?” “That’s good, that’s good.” Yang Caidie finally felt relieved.
Yang Chen was about to say something, but suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him. He turned his head and saw that the sisters Yang Caidie had brought with her were casting amorous glances at him one by one. He couldn’t help but feel both amused and helpless, so he acted like he didn’t see it.
He had been betrayed by the woman he was closest to. Although he didn’t say he wouldn’t marry and have children, it wasn’t easy for him to believe in others so easilv.This was a hurdle, one that was still difficult for him to overcome at this moment.
Yang Jin He’s attitude towards Yang Chen at this time had undergone a drastic change, and he said gently, “Yang Chen, well done.”
Elder Yang and Elder Yang Si also laughed loudly, “Yes, Yang Chen, well done!”
“Clan Leader, Second Master, Fourth Master, you are too kind. Just now, Yang Chen was just lucky.” Yang Chen smiled.
“Lucky? You even ripped off Xu Huts arm. Seeing the expression on the face of that Bandit Third Master, I couldn’t help but want to laugh. Yang Chen, you did a great job!” Elder Yang Si had an open and straightforward character, speaking directly, and even meaning to clap his hands.
Are you kidding me?
If not for Yang Chen, even if the Yang family lost face and swallowed this setback today, they would have no choice but to endure it. Could they go head-to-head with the bandits?
Could they beat them?
So, even if they lost face, they couldn’t help it. They could only blame themselves for not having the ability to regain their dignity.
However, just when they all thought they had lost face today, Yang Chen fought Xu Hu and completely crushed him to win, even breaking one of Xu Hu’s arms. Such a result can be said to be beyond everyone’s expectations.
The most crucial thing is that Yang Chen helped the Yang family regain their dignity, which is the most important thing after all.
No matter how angry the Third Master was, they would not dare to attack the Yang family because of this matter, because they were not in the right. As long as they were not in the right, they dared not attack. The Twelve Great Tribes would definitely help the Yang family then, and the Red-clothed Gang would not be able to step down.
“Yang Chen, your performance today was so unexpected that even I didn’t anticipate it. I never thought that your achievements in alchemy would be outstanding, and your martial arts cultivation would be far beyond my imagination.” At this moment, a hearty voice rang out, and it was Li Youyan who had appeared in everyone’s sight without knowing when.
“Elder Li!” Yang Chen exclaimed.
Yang Jin He said gently, “It seems that Elder Li does have a connection with this Yang Chen.”
“Haha, it’s fate. Li has been considering working with the Yang family, but when the Red-clothed Gang appeared today, Li did not dare to speak up and was truly ashamed. I hope Elder Yang can understand.” Li Youyan took a deep breath.
Yang Jin He waved his hand: “Elder Li is joking, I understand your feelings.”
Even though the two families cooperated, they were not family after all. If the enemy were those powerful bandits, Li Youyan would not dare to help him, which was normal. After all, Li Youyan had to consider his own family. If the Horse-thief Gang were to visit the Li Family someday, how could Li Youyan bear it?
His Li Family took the Chamber of Commerce route, and there was still a gap between their strength and the Yang Family’s.
“Elder Yang understands Li’s feelings, which is something that Li is unable to repay. In that case, after the coming of age ceremony later, Li will take advantage of such an auspicious moment to announce full cooperation with the Yang family.” Li Youyan said gently.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jin He’s mood was greatly elated: “Hahaha, good,
Elder Li, then it’s settled. It seems that this coming-of-age ceremony for our
Yang family should be held sooner.”
Now, the more he looked at Yang Chen, the more pleasing to the eye he became.
It can be said that if it were not for Yang Chen, Li Youyan might even refuse to cooperate with the Yang family today, because of their loss of face today.
Wasn’t it because the Yang Family did not suffer a loss at the hands of the Red Robe Bandit Gang today that Li Youyan did not terminate their cooperation? “Alright, because of the accident just now, let’s end this second round of competition.” Yang Jin He was too lazy to continue, as Yang Chen winning the crown today was already an indisputable matter.
Soon after, Yang Jin He said, “Now, bring the weapons!”
With thuds, a group of Yang family servants carried the weapon racks with swords and other weapons up.
“Today, the Yang family’s juniors are about to come of age, and from now on, they will no longer play the childlike kung fu of fists and kicks. A real war involves bloody battles, and having a handy weapon at hand is key during battles!”
The old servant said loudly, “Next, you will choose a weapon that you deem suitable, and then you will be truly grown up!”
This was also the last step of the Yang family’s coming-of- age ceremony, and a step that everyone valued most because choosing a weapon represented the path a person would take in martial arts in the future..
