Volume 1 Chapter 551 Chen Tianchi
Everyone present was the geniuses of Cosmos City. When they heard that they wanted to challenge each other, they were not afraid at all. On the contrary, because they wanted to fight, everyone became excited. Even Shi Xueren, who was beside Kong Yun, looked eager to try.
It was estimated that the reason why Cosmos City had so many prodigies was not only because this place was the hub of the myriad The universe s, but also because the preference of Cosmos City was better than fighting. In actual combat, one"s strength would increase rapidly, and one"s cultivation realm would also increase considerably.
Hearing the people below mention the duel, Seventh Mother naturally had no reason not to agree. Originally, the banquet was held to see just how capable the younger generation of Cosmos City"s prodigies were. It would be easy to select the good ones.
"Since everyone feels that there is enough wine and food, if you want to start the compet.i.tion, then let"s start directly. Everyone, please move onto the stage." Seventh Mother stood up first and walked to the backyard of Spring Pavilion.
This Lai Chun Pavilion took up quite a bit of s.p.a.ce, and there was another world in the backyard. A regular martial stage was placed amazingly in the backyard.
A martial arena like this was engraved with formations that were sufficient to block attacks below the Laws and prevent the surrounding martial arena from being damaged by the dissipated energy.
"I have long wanted to ask Brother Tian Chi for advice. I hope Brother Tian Chi can give me some advice." A tall, muscular young man cupped his hands and asked Chen Tianchi for advice.
"As you wish." Chen Tianchi walked onto the stage with his hands behind his back. He didn"t make any unnecessary movements, and his entire body looked aloof and cold.
This Chen Tianchi"s name was familiar to Kong Yun. Previously, when he was in the Ten Thousand Arrivals Restaurant, the first place he sold was Chen Tianchi"s. At that time, he didn"t see him in the restaurant. He probably asked the servants to sell it on his behalf.
"Big Brother Kong, this Chen Tianchi is a top-notch genius of Cosmos City . He is extremely powerful. The Kui Shang on the other side is not worth mentioning." Shi Xueren"s eyes glittered with stars. Before Kong Yun appeared, she had always worshipped Chen Tianchi. Moreover, Chen Tianchi"s cold and fierce temperament truly made many girls in Cosmos City worship him.
Kong Yun had never seen Shi Xueren praise a person like this before. This girl"s eyes couldn"t accommodate ordinary people at all. It seemed that Chen Tianchi was a worthy opponent.
However, a top genius like Chen Tianchi shouldn"t care about the tens of millions of divine pearls sold in the quota. Most of the other n.o.bles used the quota as a favor, but Chen Tianchi used it to sell them.
"Tell me more about this person." Kong Yun was very attentive to his potential opponent. He knew more about it. When the Cosmos City Tournament came, he had to have a higher level of confidence. He had to obtain the first prize of the tournament, the Divine Fruit.
""Yesterday, he was one of the auctioneers in the Ten Thousand Arrivals Restaurant. He was aloof and arrogant. He didn"t care about bribing people at all. Other people wouldn"t be taken seriously by him. At that time, the Cosmos City compet.i.tion would definitely be a formidable opponent for you, big brother."
It was unknown when Shi Xueren had already acknowledged that Kong Yun was his elder brother. It felt good to have an elder brother standing in front of him.
Seeing that Shi Xueren didn"t mention anything about Kui Shang across from Chen Tianchi, he knew that this person wasn"t important. He didn"t need to take Shi Xueren to heart if he didn"t like him.
Kui Shang rolled over and jumped onto the stage. From the looks of it, he looked like a cultivator. With a punch, his fist instantly swelled and smashed into Chen Tianchi"s body.
Chen Tianchi"s toes touched the ground and his body drifted unsteadily. His entire body was like a breeze as he floated sideways along the wind from the enemy"s fist.
Kui Shang saw that he couldn"t hit a single move. He immediately took a heavy step and swept his foot towards Chen Tianchi. At this moment, Kui Shang"s fist returned to normal, and his legs and feet became huge. If such a huge kick were to hit his body, he would definitely die or be injured.
This time, Chen Tianchi did not give way. It was meaningless to always give way like this. Seeing that Kui Shang had already used all of his strength in this kick, it would be good for him to lose to his strongest move.
A small whirlpool appeared in Chen Tianchi"s palm, causing the surrounding air to spin. Chen Tianchi directly buckled the whirlpool onto Kui Shang"s thick leg. The whirlpool immediately erupted, releasing powerful energy. Kui Shang was unable to withstand it for even a moment, and was heavily struck by the shockwaves from the explosion of the whirlpool on the array formation of the stage.
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Kui Shang"s mouth, and then he fell heavily from the array formation. A crack appeared on the array formation on the stage.
In just one move, Kui Shang lost his ability to move, and his strength was completely different from Chen Tianchi"s.
Kong Yun was also very surprised. This Chen Tianchi was indeed worthy of being a top genius in Cosmos City . His strength far surpa.s.sed that of an ordinary genius. The wind whirlpool he had just used had even faintly contained the power of Laws. Kong Yun had no doubt that if Chen Tianchi wanted to break through, he would be able to do so immediately.
If it weren"t for the fact that he wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the Universe Compet.i.tion, this person would most likely have used a day to be called a Sage. This wind attribute ability had already perfected him. With his superior movement technique and such a powerful attack technique, Chen Tianchi was indeed a formidable opponent to him.
"As expected, Chen Tianchi didn"t have much to look forward to when he stepped onto the stage. Every time, he would use one move to subdue the enemy. There was no suspense at all!" Shi Xueren was too busy shouting. Over the years, there were many people who wanted to challenge Chen Tianchi to seize the t.i.tle of the number one genius in Cosmos City . Although Chen Tianchi didn"t care about this t.i.tle, he wasn"t willing to lose to others, so the challenges made Chen Tianchi"s t.i.tle more stable.
The surrounding people also had expressions like this. Kui Shang was a foolish son of the landlord family. He wanted to challenge Chen Tianchi to prove himself. He was not discouraged even after failing time and time again. Chen Tianchi was used to it. If he was happy, he would have two more moves with Kui Shang. If he wasn"t in the mood, he would end the battle in one move. He had never killed Kui Shang.
"Young Master Chen"s reputation as the number one genius of the Heavens is indeed well-deserved. He has made a good start for today"s compet.i.tion. However, Young Master Chen should come down and watch the battle. Otherwise, who else would dare to stage a martial arena?" Seventh Mother laughed heartily as she beckoned Chen Tianchi down from the stage.
At the spectator stands, precious fruits and desserts had already been placed, so that the heavenly prodigies would have something to keep their mouths shut when they were free. As for Kui Shang, he had already been brought down by the people from the Spring Pavilion to take care of him. These heavenly prodigies didn"t come to the banquet to send him to his death. At the very least, the safety of the Spring Pavilion had to be guaranteed.
Chen Tianchi walked down from the stage. Only then did the geniuses below the stage become active again. If Chen Tianchi had been standing on top, they would not have challenged him. Although there were some warriors among them, they would not choose to go against Chen Tianchi at such a time. Most of the time, they would ask Chen Tianchi for advice privately. Right now, all the prodigies in the city were here. If they lost, it would not be embarra.s.sing enough, and they would inevitably be called overconfident.
"Kong Yun, do you dare to fight on stage?"
Kong Yun, who was originally studying Chen Tianchi"s moves just now, was suddenly called by his name. He felt puzzled. He didn"t even know the geniuses present, so why would anyone challenge him?
He looked up and saw Shi Wu Cheng walking out of the crowd, looking at him provocatively.
Shi Wu Cheng knew that Kong Yun had the invitation to the Seventh Mother"s banquet from the Ten Thousand Arrivals Restaurant, so he would definitely come to the Seventh Mother"s banquet.
He had waited all night just for the sake of now. Count it down carefully. Every time he attacked, someone else would interfere, causing him to be unable to attack Kong Yun. The challenge of the Seventh Mother"s banquet was the fairest. Just because Kong Yun was hiding behind a woman, he knew that Kong Yun was not strong. He also didn"t know why his family had chosen to support him.
Originally, he wanted to challenge Kong Yun, but he was stolen by that fool Kui Shang. Now that Chen Tianchi had quickly ended the battle, he immediately stood up and challenged Kong Yun.
Shi Xueren was even more anxious than Kong Yun. She immediately stood up and glared at Shi Wu Cheng , " Shi Wu Cheng , have you forgotten what Daddy told you?"
"This is an official challenge. It"s just a spar. Don"t you dare to do that? You"re still hiding behind a woman. Shame."
Challenging was one of the customs of Cosmos City. It was the most normal. Shi Wu Cheng had already thought of it. He was challenging Kong Yun. Even if his father came, there was nothing to say.
This sentence caused Kong Yun to stand at the forefront of the storm. During the banquet, Zheng Hao and Kong Yun"s dispute had attracted everyone"s attention to Kong Yun, but now, when they heard that Kong Yun was a pretty boy hiding behind a woman, they immediately revealed a look of disdain.
Kong Yun never cared about the gazes of others. Originally, he had come to Seventh Mother "s banquet for the sake of improving the affinity of the Laws and observing the prodigies of Cosmos City.
Shi Wu Cheng had never been valued by Kong Yun, so there was no need to compete with him.
Kong Yun waved his hand at Shi Xueren and told her to come back. There was no reason for his sister to stand out in this matter of being his brother.
"I just hid. What can you do to me? Thank you for letting me have a shelter." Kong Yun sat sideways and continued to eat the fruit in his hand. He beckoned Shi Xueren to sit down and watch the play together. Today, he was mainly here to play, not to fight.
Shi Wu Cheng "s face turned red as he looked at Kong Yun. He was like a powder keg, yet he couldn"t attack. This challenge was all free. If the challenger didn"t accept it, Shi Wu Cheng couldn"t force it.
Originally, he wanted to use words to provoke Kong Yun, but Kong Yun actually had the face to admit it, causing him to be in a dilemma.
"Alright, who else wants to continue the challenge? Don"t ruin the fun of this compet.i.tion."
Seventh Mother stepped forward to relieve the encirclement. Shi Wu Cheng looked at Seventh Mother gratefully, only to discover that Seventh Mother"s gaze landed on Kong Yun. Her mood became even worse. She turned around and found a seat to sit down in silence.
There were many people who wanted to challenge him, but the others didn"t have the face to take the initiative to admit defeat. As long as they were challenged, they would all go up to the stage one by one.
Shi Xueren couldn"t be idle. The prodigies of Cosmos City weren"t only men. Yuan Qingqing was also a beauty on the Cosmos City "s list. Other than Seventh Mother , who was the number one beauty, no one dared to compete.
However, the t.i.tle of this second beauty could still be contested. Moreover, the Shi Clan and the Yuan Clan were also close friends. Everyone loved to compare Yuan Qingqing and Shi Xueren. When Shi Xueren saw Yuan Qingqing, she naturally wanted to go up and compete.
