Chi Yuan casually broke through Gan Jing's attack and repelled him, causing a commotion in the crowd.
Gan Jing is a top-tier genius among the younger generation. His punch just now had the power of a peak Spirit King, yet he was so easily defeated by Chi Yuan. Could it be that Chi Yuan, like Ye Chen, also has the strength of a Royal Rank?
The Emperor Rank is not the same as the King Rank. Although it is only one major realm higher, it is more than ten times more difficult to have the combat power to cross realms. Even in the vast Yingyue Sect, there are only a handful of geniuses who can fight across realms at the Spirit King Rank.
After assessing Chi Yuan's combat strength, everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled. Wasn't Chi Yuan's cultivation completely destroyed when he left the Divine Firmament Sect? How could he have cultivated to this level in just a few years? Could Chi Yuan be even more talented than Ye Chen?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The moment the thought crossed everyone's mind, they dismissed it. Ye Chen was a genius of such caliber that only one in ten thousand years could appear. How could Chi Yuan possibly be more talented than Ye Chen?
Moreover, it is rumored that Chi Yuan's physique is a natural sword physique, which is only a third-grade saint-level physique. How can it be compared with Ye Chen?
It is estimated that Chi Yuan's cultivation was not destroyed, and coupled with his high level of comprehension and spirituality, he has such a high and powerful cultivation and combat strength.
"He's quite a strong person, it's a pity he ran into Ye Chen."
Everyone thought to themselves that if it weren't for Ye Chen, Chi Yuan would definitely have shone brightly. Unfortunately, he encountered Ye Chen, a once-in-a-millennium genius, and Chi Yuan appeared dim and insignificant.
He was destined to become nothing more than a stepping stone for Ye Chen!
At this juncture, no one still has a high opinion of Chi Yuan.
Putting aside his talent, Ye Chen had already cleared the Death Abyss, a level three Spirit Emperor level, when he was at the eighth level of Spirit King. This means that Ye Chen already possessed the combat power of a level three Spirit Emperor.
Even if Chi Yuan's combat strength reaches the first or second level of the Spirit Emperor realm, he would still be no match for Ye Chen.
If Chi Yuan is provoked by Gan Yang into fighting Ye Chen, he will undoubtedly lose this battle!
"Gan Yang, are you really not afraid of Ye Chen being humiliated? You still dare to talk back to my martial uncle. My martial uncle dares to accept the challenge, do you think he dares to fight?"
Wenren Bingying said with a teasing smile.
"Him? A snake hiding in its cave, trying to compete with a dragon? He's making a fool of himself."
Gan Yang sneered, crossed his arms, glanced at Chi Yuan with disdain, and said to Wenren Bingying with sarcasm, "Wenren Bingying, I know you misjudged me and are regretting it. You can't stand seeing my consort in such a good position. You must be very jealous of me right now, right?"
"Jealousy is fine, this princess loves to see you frustrated and angry because you can't have what you want. Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world, so you'll live in jealousy and regret forever, becoming everyone's laughingstock, hahaha..."
Hearing this, Wenren Bingying couldn't help but laugh: "Me, jealous of you? That's ridiculous! He's a treasure to you, but in my eyes, he's not even worth a hair on my uncle's head! If we were to compare the two of them to dragons and snakes, then the snake should be someone like him, a dark, vicious, despicable, and shameless scoundrel."
Gan Yang's face was icy cold as he snorted, "All you do is talk the talk. You've made him sound so amazing. Why don't you let him fight my consort? Every achievement and record of my consort's is earned through strength. What achievements or records has he made? Does he even deserve to be compared to my consort?"
"I ask you all here, who would believe that this man is better than my son-in-law?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a chorus of responses immediately arose from the surrounding area.
“What the princess says is true. Who doesn’t know Young Master Ye’s strength? It’s obvious who the dragon is and who the snake is. Only some stubborn people won’t admit it!”
"You can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. Young Master Ye's strength is beyond question, yet some people are blatantly lying. If he were truly stronger than Young Master Ye, why doesn't he come out and break Young Master Ye's records and achievements?"
"It's hilarious! Young Master Ye can clear the third level of the Spirit Emperor Abyss at the eighth level of the Spirit King realm, becoming the number one genius in our sect's history. What qualifications does he have to be compared to Young Master Ye?"
“That’s right. Whether it’s Chi Yuan or Fu Feng, I haven’t seen their names on the Death Tombstone. He’s such a genius, can’t he even leave his name on the Death Tombstone? If he’s so capable, let him get first place and show everyone.”
...
Those who spoke up were all female disciples who admired and worshipped Ye Chen. Those who didn't speak up were all on Ye Chen's side. After all, Ye Chen's talent was obvious to all. Perhaps Ye Chen had some problems with his character, but when it came to talent, let alone Yingyue Sect, probably no one on the entire continent could match him. What could Chi Yuan use to compare with Ye Chen?
"Chi Yuan is indeed a remarkable figure, but to say that he is more talented than Ye Chen would be unbelievable."
"Tsk tsk, Wenren Bingying really dares to brag, isn't she afraid of biting off more than she can chew?"
"Although I disapprove of Ye Chen's character, his talent is absolutely undeniable. Chi Yuan is not worthy of being compared to him at all!"
"Hmph, I admire Ye Chen, but what is Chi Yuan? Let everyone see what he's capable of that makes so many fairies fall head over heels for him."
...
Many male disciples who resented Chi Yuan also spoke out, pushing Chi Yuan into the eye of the storm. Many more who remained silent were gloating and waiting to see the show.
"I believe he is better than Ye Chen."
Just then, a deep voice rang out in the arena, and a young man in a red robe and a middle-aged man in a bright yellow brocade robe and a jade crown appeared in front of Chi Yuan.
"Gan Zhen".
Gan Jing squinted at the young man in red robes, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
"Gan Zhen greets Uncle-Master Fu Feng."
Gan Zhen greeted Chi Yuan respectfully, and the middle-aged man in the jade crown also nodded kindly to Chi Yuan.
"No need for such formalities."
Chi Yuan spoke in a calm and indifferent tone.
"Thank you, Uncle-Master."
Gan Zhen was secretly pleased to see that Chi Yuan's attitude towards him had improved considerably. It seemed that his frequent visits to Tianfeng Pavilion to curry favor with Chi Yuan and his clear expression of willingness to side with Chi Yuan had had a positive effect.
At the very least, Chi Yuan no longer sees him with the same eyes he used to, which is a good sign.
He glanced at Gan Jing, who seemed lost in thought, and secretly congratulated himself on his wise decision to have Sikong Yan and Gongbo Yang help him cover up the news at the City Lord's banquet. Otherwise, if Gan Jing had known about Chi Yuan's incredible performance that night, he would not have been so presumptuous as he was just now.
Now that Gan Jing has offended Chi Yuan, if he can get Chi Yuan's support again, then the throne will be his for the taking!
"Bingying is right."
At this moment, Chi Yuan spoke calmly, looking at Ye Chen with a playful gaze, and said with a hint of provocation, "I dare to accept the challenge, but I'm afraid he won't dare to fight."
"I heard that he has grown a lot in the past year, but I don't know how much he has improved since he was defeated by Bingying. I wonder if he can still withstand one of my palms and survive."
"How about, junior brother, you spar with your senior brother?"
