Tianfeng Pavilion Square.
Seeing Ye Chen being crushed by Chi Yuan in one move, the disciples and elders who originally thought Ye Chen would win were all silenced. No one expected this outcome.
Ye Chen not only lost, but he lost so decisively that the gap between them was so large that it could be described as a huge disparity!
But how is that possible?
Chi Yuan hasn't reached the Spirit Emperor cultivation level either.
Could it be that Chi Yuan, at the peak of his Spirit King level, already possessed the combat power of a fourth or fifth-tier Spirit Emperor?
"Chi Yuan... is he really that strong?"
How could he possess such combat power?
"Ye Chen, a third-level Spirit Emperor, was completely overwhelmed by him. This... this is too outrageous!"
"Could his talent really be higher than Ye Chen's?"
"Considering the timeline, it's only been less than five years since his cultivation was crippled. How could he have regained this level of cultivation and combat power in such a short time?"
"Impossible! Ye Chen's talent is so abnormal, yet he only barely managed to regain his initial Spirit King level during the five-year agreement. If his cultivation was truly crippled, how could he have reached this level in less than five years? Even with the most heaven-defying talent, it's impossible to do that, right?"
"That's right, such talent absolutely does not exist. I don't think his cultivation was ever crippled!"
"Even if his cultivation wasn't destroyed, such talent is already heaven-defying. I've never heard of anyone whose combat strength at the fourth or fifth level of the Spirit Emperor realm is at the Spirit King realm."
"No wonder all those fairies are chasing after him, no wonder even Ye Chen's mother doesn't think highly of him. It turns out they weren't blind, Ye Chen really can't compare to Chi Yuan!"
"Sigh... No wonder they look down on everyone except Chi Yuan. It's not that they lack vision. With such an amazing genius right in front of them, how could they possibly have room for anyone else?"
...
After a brief silence, a wave of discussion swept through the square. Those who had previously been dissatisfied with or even hostile towards Chi Yuan were now completely convinced and had no more doubts.
Even the female disciples who admired Ye Chen changed their perspective on Chi Yuan. Before, they thought that Wenren Bingying and her group of women were simply blind to look down on Ye Chen, but now they realized that Chi Yuan was the best one!
"How could Ye Chen be no match for him?"
Gan Yang found it hard to believe. Although Ye Chen's cultivation was a bit lower than Chi Yuan's, his combat strength was a genuine third-level Spirit Emperor. How could Chi Yuan overwhelm Ye Chen in terms of combat strength?
She didn't think Chi Yuan's talent was better than Ye Chen's. Although Ye Chen's Divine Sun Body hadn't evolved to the God Rank, it was still the top-tier Emperor Rank physique. Could Chi Yuan's talent be better than the Divine Sun Body?
It's likely that Chi Yuan used some special means to enhance his combat power.
Gan Yang's eyes flickered. If he could get his hands on Chi Yuan's method of enhancing combat power, it would greatly enhance Ye Chen's combat strength.
"Gan Yang, do you still think I'd be jealous of you?"
Wenren Bingying looked at Gan Yang with a triumphant air, her face full of pride and joy.
This is the man she fought so hard for; compared to him, Ye Chen is nothing!
Gan Yang snorted coldly and said, "Getting all smug now? He's just relying on his cultivation level. If they were of equal cultivation, he would definitely be no match for Ye Chen!"
"That's right, your cultivation is higher than mine, so winning doesn't really show your skill."
Ye Chen refused to admit that he was inferior to Chi Yuan, stubbornly insisting, "If you're so capable, why don't you take my number one spot on the Death Monument?"
Having a high level of cultivation is an advantage in actual combat, but it is a disadvantage in the competition for the ranking of the Death Monument. Unless Chi Yuan's completion time is much faster than his, it is impossible for him to take the first place that he obtained with the cultivation of the eighth level of the Spirit King.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt even more confident. People fight for their pride, and even Buddhas fight for their incense. Even if Chi Yuan was better than him in every aspect, he still had to win and vent his anger!
"You unfilial son, you're still not convinced! How long are you going to keep being so stubborn?!"
You Rongqingyan was furious.
"Mother, isn't what I said true? Every time he beat me, it was because his cultivation level was higher than mine?"
Ye Chen shrugged and said, "If he were really stronger than me, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get first place on the Death Monument, right? If he can't even get first place on the Death Monument, why should I admit that he's stronger than me?"
"you……"
You Rong Qingyan was so angry that her chest trembled. She said apologetically to Chi Yuan, "Young Master, this unfilial son has gone too far. He has offended you repeatedly. As his mother, I am truly to blame. If you don't mind, I am willing to serve by your side for a month to atone for this unfilial son's offense!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned strange. Ye Chen's mother was actually going to serve Chi Yuan? If Chi Yuan intended to do something to You Rong Qingyan, wouldn't that be...
The three sisters, Rong Hanyou, were also greatly shocked. They never expected their mother to be so open-minded. It seemed that they were still too inexperienced and had much to learn from their mother in this regard.
"No need."
Chi Yuan flatly refused, looking at Ye Chen and saying in a low voice, "The number one on the Death Monument? It seems you're determined to prove yourself. But since you're going to compete, I don't mind pushing you off your pedestal."
Is Chi Yuan going to compete with Ye Chen for first place?
These words immediately piqued the interest of the surrounding disciples and elders. Ye Chen's most valuable achievement was undoubtedly being number one on the Death Monument. If Chi Yuan could snatch Ye Chen's first place, then without a doubt, Chi Yuan would completely overshadow Ye Chen's brilliance.
But will Chi Yuan be able to snatch it?
Doubts arose again in everyone's hearts. Although Chi Yuan's combat strength was amazing, it was not enough to take Ye Chen's first place. Divine soul, speed, will, and state of mind all had to be considered. Moreover, Ye Chen won first place with the cultivation of the eighth level of the Spirit King. If Chi Yuan wanted to surpass Ye Chen, he had to achieve much better results than Ye Chen.
They didn't think Chi Yuan could achieve this. After all, Ye Chen's achievement of passing the Netherworld was already the limit of his ability. Even if Chi Yuan passed the level faster than Ye Chen, how much faster could he be?
Surely it's impossible for Chi Yuan, with his peak Spirit King cultivation, to achieve the same results as a peak Spirit Emperor?
