Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lv Zhengyang could sense Ju Haocang’s disdainful gaze directed down at him. He wasn’t oblivious to this fact – he possessed enough intelligence to discern the condescension in Ju Haocang’s demeanor.
Typically, many individuals would engage in idle chatter regarding Lv Zhengyang’s fifth-ranking position. However, Ju Haocang seemed utterly indifferent to his existence, opting instead to subject him to direct humiliation.
Lv Zhengyang’s fists clenched involuntarily, causing the veins on his face to protrude visibly.
His determination surged as he contemplated the rewards that awaited him within the mystic realm. The upcoming year held the promise of him surpa.s.sing Ju Haocang and finally shedding the burden of fifth place.
At that juncture, he vowed to impart a valuable lesson to Ju Haocang. This unspoken intention colored his thoughts with a sinister intensity.
However…
His presence went entirely unnoticed, an inconspicuous ent.i.ty in the crowd’s gaze.
The attention of all had converged upon the stage.
Ordinarily, any other disciple might be seen as recklessly daring fate by challenging Ju Haocang. Yet, it was Gu Chaoyan who had taken up this audacious task.
Gu Chaoyan, a recent initiate of the esteemed Beast-controlling Sect, had already etched her name in the annals of fame with her ill.u.s.trious achievements. Her triumph over a mutated beast and her acquisition of the Green Sun Gra.s.s had set her apart.
Feats of such magnitude were well beyond the capabilities of most disciples.
Consequently, when Gu Chaoyan extended her challenge to Ju Haocang, curiosity swelled among the observers. The likelihood of her emerging victorious was meager at best, but the spectators were eager to witness the extent of her capabilities – after all, she was the lone conqueror of the formidable mutated beast.
Unperturbed by Gu Chaoyan’s provocation, Ju Haocang greeted her challenge with an amiable smile, “If it’s a challenge you seek, I’m more than willing to oblige.” Strangely, his mood seemed uplifted, a sentiment undoubtedly influenced by Lv Zhengyang’s predicament. How could he possibly be in a sour disposition with Lv Zhengyang being the one subjected to condescension?
In a curious twist, this junior sister perceived him as highly capable and thus embarked on a challenge against him. This brought an undeniable sense of elation to Ju Haocang.
Meanwhile, Lv Zhengvang’s countenance darkened, overshadowed by an air of
discontent.
Gu Chaoyan, perceptive as she was, had penetrated through these underlying dynamics.
Yet, she bore no responsibility for this comprehension; her thoughts didn’t delve too deeply into the matter.
Ultimately, the compet.i.tion would speak for itself, irrespective of these subtleties.
After keen observation, she determined Ju Haocang to be her most feasible breakthrough. Thus, she resolved to engage in a contest with him.
As for Lv Zhengyang, while he held the lowest cultivation level among the quintet, his well-rounded abilities made him an unlikely source of valuable gains.
Such was Gu Chaoyan’s discerning choice.
Unbeknownst to the two men, they found themselves inadvertently swayed by her determination.
In her pursuit of the One Origin Gra.s.s at Supreme Sect, Gu Chaoyan’s priorities lay squarely on the goal at hand, leaving her little bandwidth to attend to the emotions of others. Her focus remained singularly on the impending compet.i.tion.
“Allow me the privilege of your insights, Senior Brother Ju,” she ventured with an affable smile, exuding an air of ease. “Rest a.s.sured, Senior Brother Ju, I’m resolute about entering the mystic realm, putting forth my utmost effort.”
Ju Haocang, displaying confidence, proffered, “Regardless of your disposition, I have no intention of treating you unfairly. How about I restrict myself to just three moves?”
“If Senior Brother Ju is amenable, I accept the proposition willingly.”
“Very well, you shall have three moves at your disposal, while I shall abstain from retaliating,” Ju Haocang proclaimed with self-a.s.suredness.
To him, these dynamics were of little consequence.
Given the evident mismatch between their skills, he bore no qualms about offering his support.
Gu Chaoyan reciprocated with a smile.
With Senior Brother Ju’s support, her path to victory seemed considerably smoother.
Meanwhile…
Lv Zhengyang harbored plans of settling the score by that very hour..
