Chapter 71: He Doesn’t Follow the Rules
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Xiong Ying doesn’t come with good intentions!”
This was the first thought that came to the minds of many inner sect disciples present.
“Bang!”
A loud noise rang out.
Xiong Ying arrived in front of Su Chen. His heavy feet instantly cracked the floor tiles under his feet, and his vigorous blood and Qi stirred up a gust of wind.
“You are a Level Seven Qi Sea Realm cultivator?”
Xiong Ying sized Su Chen up with disdain in his eyes and said in a contemptuous tone, “It seems that those three dark creatures are only so-so!”
As soon as he finished speaking, it immediately angered many inner sect disciples present.
On the surface, he was mocking Su Chen.
However, in reality, he was mocking all the disciples who participated in the inner sect test that day!
“You…”
Jiang Tian, who was beside Su Chen, was furious. He took a step forward and was about to reprimand Xiong Ying.
However, Su Chen stopped him.
Su Chen’s expression was calm as he quietly stared at Xiong Ying, who was like a small mountain in front of him. There was no change in his expression as he said indifferently, “Are you here to register for the assessment too?”
“Yes.”
When Xiong Ying heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly into a sinister sneer.
“So I haven’t participated in the core disciple trial for fifteen years. Because they were all too weak, none of them could arouse my interest. Two days ago, I heard that someone killed three Qi Sea Realm dark creatures. I think this person must have strong strength… But after seeing him today, I’m a little disappointed!”
“If you want to challenge me, just say it. Don’t talk so much nonsense!”
Su Chen glanced at him and turned to the disciple in charge of registration.
“Please change my first opponent tomorrow to him!”
It just so happened that he was worrying about how to use the system to increase his strength in this core disciples assessment. He did not expect someone to come knocking on his door in the blink of an eye.
Su Chen naturally could not refuse such a good opportunity.
After all, one shouldn’t hit a smiling person!
“Hmm?”
Hearing this, the others didn’t have time to react.
However, Xiong Ying’s expression suddenly changed.
Having been in the inner sect for 20 years, he was extremely familiar with the rules of the core disciples assessment.
Under normal circumstances, there would be a dozen or twenty inner sect disciples registering for the core disciples assessment every year.
If someone was defeated in the first round, then it meant goodbye to be a core disciple this year.
After all, even if one’s cultivation level was very high, only the top three could become core disciples.
Therefore, many people would think of ways to bribe the disciples in charge of registration when they signed up, asking them to help arrange a weaker opponent for them.
However, Su Chen did not play by the rules. He was the exact opposite of them and wanted to fight Xiong Ying right from the start.
In other words.
One of them was destined to have no chance of becoming a core disciple this year!
“Good… Very good!”
Xiong Ying’s sinister smile faded.
As his face darkened, he squeezed out three words from between his teeth with difficulty.
It was true that he wanted to fight Su Chen, but he had never thought of fighting Su Chen in the first round.
Wasn’t he afraid that after fighting with Su Chen, he would consume too much spiritual energy and let others take advantage of him?
Su Chen glanced at him indifferently and said lightly, “If you’re afraid, say it. It’s not too late to regret it now!”
Su Chen, who had cultivated the Mystic Spirit Golden Body Art and had broken through to the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm, wanted to find an opponent to test his strength.
He didn’t expect Xiong Ying to come for him so eagerly.
As a Level Nine Qi Sea Realm cultivator, Xiong Ying should be able to handle his attacks for two moves, right?
Su Chen looked at Xiong Ying again and left the square without any hesitation.
As Su Chen left, the entire square exploded.
“Wait! Did I hear wrongly just now? Senior Brother Su Chen was going to fight Xiong Ying tomorrow?”
“Xiong Ying will be finished! Senior Brother Su Chen had stepped into the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm and defeated three dark creatures. His strength is extremely terrifying. Xiong Ying is probably not his match!”
“Xiong Ying is asking for trouble! One must know that when Su Chen defeated the three dark creatures, he was only at the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm!”
“You can’t say that. Xiong Ying has been in the inner sect for 20 years and has been cultivating in the Qi Sea Realm for 20 years, while it has been only a month since Senior Brother Su Chen entered the Qi Sea Realm.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Although Senior Brother Su Chen is invincible among those in the same realm, Xiong Ying’s strength cannot be underestimated! He has practically spent all these years in life-and-death battles…”
“Junior Brother, you’re too narrow-minded! Strength is not defined by the number of life-and-death battles or the length of time spent in cultivation. Senior Brother Su Chen is someone who had stepped into the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm, invincible in the same realm. It is not something made up!”
“Look at Xiong Ying. Why is he standing there without moving? Don’t tell me he doesn’t dare to register for the assessment!”
“Hahaha, I think so too. After all, becoming a core disciple is a small matter. If he loses to Senior Brother Su Chen, that will be embarrassing!”
“Well, I thought that we would be able to see a big battle tomorrow. I didn’t expect that someone would be the first to cower. What a pity!”
Xiong Ying’s face turned ashen when he heard the discussions around him.
Just as the inner disciples said, becoming a core disciple did not matter to him.
After all, he had already been in the inner sect for 20 years, so he didn’t need another year or two.
Moreover, he did not want to become a core disciple at all.
However, the problem was that if he really lost to Su Chen, he would really be too ashamed to face anyone in the future.
Su Chen had only joined the inner sect for less than a month, but he had stayed in the inner sect for a full 20 years.
What a huge difference! If he couldn’t defeat Su Chen, then he really wouldn’t have the face to stay in the Great Mystery Sect.
“Xiong Ying, are you still going to sign up?”
The inner sect disciple in charge of registration said indifferently with an unhappy expression.
Although he was not as powerful as Xiong Ying, he was not afraid of him at all.
After all, both of them were of equal status now.
They were all inner sect disciples. If he was in a good mood, he would call Xiong Ying senior brother. If he wasn’t, then he would probably ignore him.
Xiong Ying looked in the direction Su Chen had left, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, “Sign me up!”
“Here, this is your number!”
The inner court disciple in charge of registration completed the registration very quickly. Then, he threw a jade plate with the number “Twenty” written on it to Xiong Ying.
“Humph!”
Xiong Ying caught the jade plate and looked at him coldly. With a snort, he quickly turned around to leave.
Originally, Xiong Ying wanted to show Su Chen his might before the competition.
However, he failed to deal Su Chen a head-on blow at the first encounter and instead, he got himself into trouble.
He would never naively think that someone who had entered the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm and then defeated three Qi Sea Realm dark creatures in a row was weak.
The reason why he said that was to provoke Su Chen.
After all, people who had lost their minds were the easiest to defeat.
However, the current situation was the complete opposite of what he had expected..
