Holy crap?
This was the first reaction of everyone present.
This kid's got some nerve, daring to disrespect even a celestial being?
Zhao Chen was also a bit confused. He had been thinking that the normal procedure was for Zu An to accuse the Meng family and the Prince of Dai of plotting against the Qin family and the Murong family, and how badly they had harmed those people, so that he would take action in anger.
Then I'll step in as the referee and say a few words: the Meng family was indeed wrong to begin with, but they have now received the lesson they deserved. While comforting them, I'll give both sides a fair share of the blame and put an end to the matter.
After all, he held a prestigious position within the royal family and now possessed the abilities of an Earth Immortal; who would dare disobey his words?
I never expected this kid to do things the way they always do!
He had just finished boasting about his ascension to the Earth Immortal realm, and this young man was so disrespectful. If he ignored this, where would he put his face in the future?
"Very well, do you really think that just because you have had some extraordinary encounters at such a young age, you can be invincible?" Zhao Chen's face darkened instantly.
This kid's combat strength is so exaggerated, he must have had many extraordinary encounters.
But isn't he being far too dismissive of all the heroes in the world? Does he really think that just because he defeated Meng Jing, he can call the shots in the capital?
Anger points from Zhao Chen: +666 +666 +666...
Zuan calmly said, "Now that the Human Emperor and the Demon Emperor are gone, I am indeed invincible."
The eight gentlemen: "..."
The experts from various families watching from afar: "..."
Everyone thought he would say a few conciliatory words and that Hachiko would give him a way out, and the matter would be over. But to everyone's surprise, he was so stubborn and wouldn't budge an inch.
Many young people were deeply moved by the story, thinking that this was how a true man should act, and wondering when they could finally put on such a show.
But the older generation of the family all shook their heads, saying it was too impulsive. They said that Zhao Chen would not let it go if he made him lose face.
As expected, Zhao Chen laughed loudly, "Good, it's been many years since I've seen such an arrogant young man."
"I'm going to teach you a lesson today. Don't blame me for bullying you. You go first, I'll give you three moves."
Zuan was somewhat surprised: "If I make a move, you probably won't have a chance to attack."
"What?" Zhao Chen was taken aback at first, thinking he had misheard, then laughed angrily, "Kid, are you joking?"
Anger points from Zhao Chen: +444 +444 +444...
Zuan hesitated for a moment and said, "What if I accidentally hurt you or even kill you later? What will happen then?"
"If you can injure me within three moves, it proves that my Great Zhou Dynasty has produced a genius who is unprecedented and unparalleled. That would be a blessing for the country, so why would I blame you?" Zhao Chen's laughter was tinged with coldness.
What is this guy thinking? Does he really think he can challenge an Earth Immortal?
It's not entirely his fault. In the past, he himself had similar delusions, always thinking that a Grandmaster of the Soul Realm was only half a step away from an Earth Immortal, and that with his unparalleled genius and countless methods, he could even fight an Earth Immortal.
But after he actually became an immortal, he realized how outrageous his previous ideas were.
Below the level of an immortal, all are but ants; this is not just a saying, but a fact.
Even if a Grandmaster is incredibly powerful, even if he is invincible within the Grandmaster realm, he is still just a pitiful creature in the eyes of an Earth Immortal.
This kid has obviously had it too easy and hasn't learned his lesson, which is why he's so arrogant.
Zuan frowned: "What if I accidentally kill you?"
The surrounding crowd erupted in uproar; this kid was far too ignorant of his place.
Zhao Chen's expression also turned cold: "If you can kill me, it's because I'm not skilled enough. Listen up, everyone, no one will need to seek revenge for me. Whether it's the court, the royal family, or my descendants, you will all be my witnesses."
The other eight men around sighed inwardly upon hearing this, realizing that he had already decided to kill.
At this moment, Grand Tutor Yu Rui came out and advised, "Grand Tutor, there's no need to make things like this."
Zhao Chen ignored him and instead looked at Zu An: "What if you, kid, fall into my hands?"
“Naturally the same,” Zuan said calmly.
"It doesn't really matter. If someone wants to avenge you, then let them come. What do I, an Earth Immortal, have to fear?" Zhao Chen sneered. "Make your move. Since I just said I'd give you three moves, then I'll give you three moves."
He had already made up his mind to take his life after three moves, so that everyone in the capital could see the consequences of offending an Earth Immortal.
This was his first battle after becoming an Earth Immortal. To be honest, it wasn't very honorable to fight a junior. Fortunately, the other party was courting death and kept provoking him, so he killed him to establish his authority, and no one else could say anything.
At that moment, the Empress flew in from afar: "Grand Tutor, show mercy!"
She set off immediately after learning about the situation, but she didn't expect things to develop so quickly.
Furthermore, the later appearance of the golden dragon, the Dragon King, and Zhao Chen, along with various inexplicable pressures, made it impossible for her to get close for a time.
Hearing about the bet between Zhao Chen and Zu An, he finally couldn't help but plead for mercy.
In her opinion, no matter how powerful Zuan was, how could he possibly be a match for the Earth Immortal Zhao Chen?
Zhao Chen didn't even glance at her. Even Zhao Hao was very polite to him. What did a mere woman from the harem matter?
A powerful aura spread out, and the Empress, being a newly promoted Grandmaster, was unable to get close. She could only anxiously watch the familiar figure in the arena.
Ah Zu, how could you be so impulsive? Tell me what's wrong, and I'll try to help you solve it.
How are we going to salvage this situation now, especially since we've offended the Grand Tutor, who's already an immortal?
