âWhat a loser. No one comes forward to defend him at all,â someone murmured, scared of Jiang Chenâs eloquence. There were so many geniuses, but not even one of them stood by Jiang Chen.
Lin Shuangyue, who had been looking forward to the Wizard Raceâs banquet, somehow had not arrived.
At this moment, a man showed up. He drew everyoneâs attention.
âMaster! Master!â
âMaster Luo Cheng, do you really have the Thunderbolt Martial Soul?â
âYou managed to stand firm facing Su Yinanâs Magic Thunder Hand. Thatâs wonderful.â
People from all camps welcomed the master warmly. This was beyond the expectations of Jiang Chen. He guessed that the news about his fight had spread all over the place.
Master Luo Cheng smiled mysteriously. Then he went to his seat without speaking.
âMaster, I didnât expect you to have been the person who had gone through the Five Thunders successfully in the Yaoguang Holy Land. I really made the correct decision to give you an invitation.â The Wizard Hou Qin came up to salute him. None of the other people had gotten such treatment. It was not only because of the masterâs surprising fighting power, but also because he seemed to know almost everything.
âMaster.â From the crowd, Xie Ting flew up to the master. She was very excited, enjoying the attention of all the people. She had once doubted that the man going through the Ko was the master in the Yaoguang Holy Land, because it was too weird to believe. However, it was the master indeed.
âHuh.â In the snow-silver-level seats, Han Congâer was unhappy with what she was seeing. She looked quite jealous. Next to her, Shangguan Ru noticed her reaction. Smiling, she wanted to tell her bestie not to overthink the situation. âXie Ting wonât get the master.â Shangguan Ruâs wording was quite skillful. She did not say anything that could hurt Han Congâerâs feelings.
âAlas, how come there is such a great person in the world?â Han Congâer let out a long sigh. She wished she could be more excellent. âWhat kind of women do you think the master would like?â She asked again. âHer?â
Shangguan Ru was curious about that too. She glanced over the crowd and finally laid her eyes on the Saint of All Beginningsâranked first in the Beauty List. She had the natural base of Doctrine and was good at martial arts techniques, Doctrine Methods, sword soul, and so on.
âIâm wondering whether Lu Ping is okay.â Gazing at the entrance of the tree hole, Shangguan Ru felt worried about Lu Ping, since he had not shown up yet.
âI think it would be better if he didnât show up,â Han Congâer said. She did not mean it in a bad way. She was looking at where the Jialan Race were sitting while speaking. They had obviously heard about Li Tianjun Juniorâs death. They looked pretty angry. Especially their leader, his gloomy look made people uneasy.
âLi Tianjun Senior! Li Tianjun Juniorâs elder brother. He has mastered four variations of The Great Chaos Method,â Han Congâer said in a low voice.
All of a sudden, Li Tianjun Senior looked toward the two women. Both of them felt a pain, as if thousands of arrows were piercing through their hearts. The Jialan race did not only know who had killed Li Tianjun Junior, but also knew who had been involved in his death. Fortunately, they were at the banquet at the moment. The Jialan race could not do anything to them temporarily.
âJialan race, you are going too far.â A charming figure appeared in front of the two women, lifting the pressure brought by Li Tianjun Seniorâs look.
Li Tianjun Senior curled his lips. He looked away without speaking.
âThank you, Elder Sister Yueying.â The two women took a deep breath and then thanked the womanâJi Yueying, ranked second on the Beauty List. Her rank on this list was below the rank of the Saint of All Beginnings, but she was much stronger. She was one of the Junior Heavenly Kings.
âHow come you two are here by yourselves? Didnât you find anyone to protect you?â Ji Yueying was young and pretty. Her eyes and brows were especially beautiful. When she smiled, her charm was infinite. The two women smiled awkwardly. They knew that Elder Sister Yueying did not mean the strongmen who were protecting them in the dark, but companies. They involuntarily looked toward Nangong Xing, who was not far away. He had come with them, and he was not far away from them at the moment, but when he had seen what Li Tianjun Senior was doing, he had not had the nerve to come forward. At the moment, he was avoiding the two womenâs gazes.
You deserved it. You were too nice to that Lu Ping. To cover his cowardice, Nangong Xing put the blame on them.
At this moment, the practicing body Lu Ping showed up from the planesâ channel. Since it was the black-iron-level passage through which he came, he caught much attention. Lu Ping came up to the master first. Then he walked toward the two women.
âOkay, so you do have people protecting you. He just arrived a little late,â Ji Yueying joked. At the same time, she threw Lu Ping a look. Her brow knitted slightly. It was not because Lu Ping was not good enough. However, with Shangguan Ruâs identity and beauty, she really deserved someone better.
âCome sit with me over there.â Lu Ping invited the two women. This was one of the privileges that people sitting in black-iron-level seats enjoyed.
âHâm.â Han Congâer and Shangguan Ru did not decline.
âThis is Ji Yueying, the saint of the Merak Religious Sect,â Han Congâer introduced them. Lu Ping was somewhat surprised. The Merak Religious Sect was as famous as Yaoguang among all Holy Lands and Divine Religious Sects. But he restored his sense of calm. He greeted her with a nod. Then the four went to the black-iron-level seats together.
âOh?â Lu Ping noticed a pair of eyes gazing at him before long, and the look was very hostile.
âThey are the Jialan race,â Shangguan Ru said. âThatâs Li Tianjun Juniorâs elder brother, Li Tianjun Senior. It is said that The Great Chaos Method of his is hundreds of times more powerful than his brotherâs.â
âI donât think heâs going to leave me alone,â Lu Ping said.
Ji Yueying had been listening to them. She was wondering how Lu Ping would react.
âSo, Iâll have to kill him first.â
She heard Lu Ping speak before she could turn around.
Ji Yueying was very surprised. He really sounded very arrogant.
The other two women were surprised too. They were not sure he could really achieve it.
All of a sudden, the place became very noisy. A great disturbance was occurring. The four realized right away that the star of the night had comeâthe dual-pupils wielder Ji Yuan!
Different from the transformation body Jiang Chen had seen the last time, his true body did not look like a mighty God of War. He was in black, as elegant as a divinity, and as handsome as an alluring evil spirit. As he rolled his dual pupils, people had the illusion that they were the sun and the moon. They felt as if they were being sucked into his pupils. Every step he took made their hearts beat faster, as if it was a Divine Emperor who was walking toward them.
âToday, weâll witness the birth of the bold, the winner, the strong.â He stopped, glancing over everyone. Then he gazed at Jiang Chen. âAnd the loser.â Intentionally or unintentionally, he happened to mention the loser while gazing at Jiang Chen. Countless people looked toward Jiang Chen, either gloating or feeling pity for him.
âThe human divine body will fall hereâtoday.â
Many Ancients were also very eager to attack Jiang Chen.
âCalm down, guys. Today we didnât invite you here just to have a contest. Otherwise we wouldnât have said it was a banquet. We would have said it was a ranked match.â Hou Qinâs words made many of those who were eager to fight control themselves a little bit. âTodayâs banquet is related to the magic tree.â
Hearing her inviting words, many peopleâs heartbeats accelerated.
âEveryone has experienced the wonderful effect of the fruits of the magic tree. But for this magic tree, itâs only the most basic thing.â Hou Qin kept the audience in suspense. They were extremely curious.
