The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms - Chapter 578
Chapter 578: Chapter 575: Yang Chen’s Challenge_1
“It seems that Ming Long is showing signs of defeat.”
“It looks like Ming Long is in trouble.”
“Although Ming Long is still holding on, it doesn’t seem to make much sense for him to continue.”
The crowd engaged in discourses, mostly able to tell that Ming Long was in a losing situation. As everyone had guessed, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Wei seized the opportunity, delivered a strike. The golden light fist transformed by the Reincarnation Vajra Sutra slammed mercilessly onto Ming Long’s body.
After letting out a miserable scream, Ming Long’s body flew backward and was caught by his senior from Heiyun Main City.
“Brother Ming Long, I appreciate your concession.” Xiao Wei spoke calmly.
Although he appeared composed, his eyes were filled with pride; he was evidently satisfied with his victory. Now that he had won for the Black Dragon Sect, he would undoubtedly be rewarded upon his return.
With this thought, happiness surged in Xiao Wei’s heart.
As for Ming Long’s side, the expressions of the elders from Heiyun Main City were filled with reluctance and displeasure. Why did they come to attend the Black Dragon Sect’s grand event? Wasn’t it to make their juniors overshadow the arrogance of the Black Dragon Sect genius?
Who would have thought that their third-ranked genius would be defeated by a second-rate talent from the Black Dragon Sect?
Fu Longyue, upon seeing this, gleefully stroked his beard and laughed loudly. Then, he instructed: “Tell Xiao Wei not to stop, let him continue with the challenge and wait until he wins three consecutive matches. If he can win three in a row, I’ll reward him handsomely when he comes back.”
The Black Scorpion Envoy promptly obeyed and conveyed the message to Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei, of course, knew what to do.
In his challenge, he couldn’t pick an opponent too weak, or it would show that their Black Dragon Sect lacked confidence and upbringing. He also couldn’t challenge someone beyond his capabilities, like the Qinglian Saintess, for he had no confidence or assurance in defeating her.
With this in mind, Xiao Wei quickly found his target.
He turned his gaze and smiled: “I, Xiao Wei, would like to challenge Luo Pingfei from Changning City!”
“Luo Pingfei!”
“Changning City’s Luo Pingfei!”
“Xiao Wei has quite the appetite. After defeating Ming Long, he immediately goes after Changning City’s Luo Pingfei. In contrast to Ming Long, Luo Pingfei is the number one genius and a top prodigy and treasure of Changning City.”
“How much chance does Luo Pingfei have in winning against Xiao Wei?”
“Winning chance? Luo Pingfei is only at the Yuanwu Realm Fifth Layer right now!”
“What?”
The crowd heard this and couldn’t help but gasp in cold air, becoming even more aware of the terrifying nature of the Black Dragon Sect.
It was evident that this was also the Black Dragon Sect’s goal.
If their second-rate talents were so formidable, how powerful must their first-rate talents be? At least, when these first-rate talents appeared, wouldn’t other forces’ prodigies have no chance to resist and be crushed?
Although deep down in their hearts, they were unwilling and didn’t want to accept this fact.
However, in the end, Luo Pingfei had no choice but to fight and was ultimately defeated by Xiao Wei with ease.
With the confidence gained from defeating Ming Long, Xiao Wei’s belief in himself swelled even more after defeating Luo Pingfei.
With consecutive victories under his belt, Xiao Wei challenged yet another renowned prodigy in the third match.
In the end, Xiao Wei was still the winner.
After winning three consecutive matches, Xiao Wei was ecstatic, and his success made him even more smug.
Xiao Wei spoke coldly: “Xiao Wei stands here if anyone is not convinced, feel free to challenge me!”
There was complete silence.
Without a doubt, Xiao Wei was representing the Black Dragon Sect, embodying the spirit of the sect.
Telling them, “I’m standing here, who among you will challenge me?”
“Hahaha, this kid Xiao Wei is doing great.” Fu Longyue was delighted.
Feeling Fu Longyue’s encouraging gaze, Xiao Wei was even more pleased by his wise action. After all, his purpose was to establish authority, right?
He thought such top prodigies like the Qinglian Saintess and those of the Green Lotus Sect would not make a move during the warm-up matches. Such action would expose their strength too early, which would be unfavorable to everyone. As for the remaining prodigies, who was Xiao Wei afraid of?
“Xiao Wei is indeed amazing. It seems that the Black Dragon Sect will once again dominate this grand ceremony.” Mo Wu from Beishan Main City sighed, “You all must not provoke them by challenging them recklessly. These warm-up matches have nothing to do with us. Yang Chen, my friend, you must stay calm as well.”
“Elder Mo, I’m very calm,” Yang Chen grinned.
“Yang Chen, you…” Mo Wu sensed something off about Yang Chen.
He had a feeling that Yang Chen would do something crazy later.
As it turned out, his intuition was correct.
The moment his thoughts fell, Yang Chen suddenly stood up and said, “Brother Xiao, I, Yang Chen, would like to consult your skills!”
“Huh?”
“Yang Chen!”
“Who is he?”
“I don’t recognize him—an unknown wild kid trying to make a name for himself? Look, he jumped out from Beishan Main City, hehe, it couldn’t be more obvious. He’s a wild kid from a weak force like Beishan Main City, with no previous reputation, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to gain fame.”
“In that case, he’s in the same category with Lu Dong, hahaha, another idiot. Defeating Xiao Wei would surely make him famous instantly, but why do so many people not properly weigh their own abilities and think they can defeat Xiao Wei?”
“Many people lack self-awareness.”
Most people discussed, and it was evident that they regarded Yang Chen like Lu Dong—wanting to make a name for himself but didn’t choose the right opponent.
However, they didn’t know that Yang Chen stepped forward not because he wanted to become famous at all.
His sole purpose for stepping forward was to take revenge on the Black Scorpion Envoy.
Of course, Xiao Wei didn’t know any of this. He merely saw Yang Chen as a clueless, arrogant brat who wanted to make a name for himself by challenging him.
Now that Xiao Wei had won three matches against three well-known prodigies, he no longer cared about superficial courtesy. He coldly looked at Yang Chen with contempt, saying, “Kid, you’re the one challenging me? Why are there so many idiots who lack self-awareness these days?”
Yang Chen grinned but showed no anger or retort, just calmly asking, “Can we start now?”
The moment this statement fell, it attracted countless more sneers and laughter from the crowd.
As for Xiao Wei, he laughed even harder, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
