Chapter 737: Xu Chen!
“Never mind!”
Su Yi smiled, noticing that Cheng Qingfeng was holding back despite his great strength. However, when compared to Ouyang Jinwei and the others, there was still a noticeable gap. If he stepped in, it would be unfair to them.
“Let me take over!”
At that moment, a voice rang out.
Immediately, the crowd shifted, and many turned their attention toward the sound.
A narrow path opened in the crowd, and a young man in his twenties appeared.
Dressed in a flowing white robe with black hair tied up by a bamboo hairpin, the young man stood out amidst the lively surroundings. His complexion was as vibrant as peaches and apricots, and his movements were both graceful and relaxed. His sparkling eyes held an irresistible charm, drawing the gazes of everyone around him.
“Whoosh!”
As the young man neared the stage, he gathered his energy and, with a swift motion, dashed forward. He effortlessly propelled himself off the ground and leaped gracefully into the air. A few agile maneuvers later, he landed directly on the martial arts stage without disturbing the dust.
“Impressive!”
The onlookers, even those with fierce expressions, couldn’t help but admire the young man’s skill.
“This technique is remarkable!”
Xi Wuqing was secretly astonished by the white-robed young man’s extraordinary skill.
Su Yi was also sizing up the young man. Dressed in white, the intricate cloud-like patterns on his sleeves became apparent. His fingers, slender and delicate like a woman’s, stood out. His striking face drew the attention of both men and women alike, his long lashes obscuring sharp, dark eyes. His well-defined features, combined with an elegant aura, made him magnetic, impossible to look away from.
The young man stood silently on the martial arts stage, radiating an air of dominance, yet his presence remained one of grace and poise.
“He’s so handsome!”
“He’s incredibly handsome!”
“Can such a handsome man really exist?”
At the sight of him, a collective wave of admiration surged from the crowd. Many women couldn’t contain their excitement, their hearts racing at the sight of his face.
The young man’s attractiveness was so stunning that even other men couldn’t help but marvel. It was truly shocking that someone could possess such beauty.
“He’s truly handsome.”
Su Yi reflected on his own appearance, always considering himself striking, with an exceptional presence. Yet, seeing this young man, he realized no word could quite capture his beauty—not even comparing him to the legendary Pan An. The idea of such a man existing in the world seemed unreal. Su Yi wondered how many women would be captivated by him.
When this young man appeared on the stage, his striking looks stunned those around him. The moment of silence was broken when someone from the square spoke up, saying, “The newcomer must present his registration jade token from the Saint Martial Assembly. From which sect do you come, and what is your name?”
The young man in white pulled out the registration jade token, nodding at the middle-aged figure on the martial arts platform. “I have the token. My name is Xu Chen. As for where I come from, it’s of little consequence.”
“This is already Cheng Qingfeng’s seventh challenge. If you wish to face him, you must wager an item of Star-grade advanced pill worth five pieces. If you win, everything on the platform will be yours. But if you lose, the wager will belong to Cheng Qingfeng!” The elderly man spoke from the platform.
“No problem. Inside is a yellow-grade beginner-level Nine Revolutions True Elemental Pill. It should be sufficient.”
Xu Chen nodded and waved his hand. A medicine box flew onto the stone table at one corner of the platform.
There, a collection of pills and other items, all claimed by Cheng Qingfeng, lay piled. Anyone who won could claim them.
“Nine-Turn True Elemental Pill!”
Su Yi’s eyes widened in astonishment. The yellow-grade initial stage Nine-Turn True Elemental Pill was as valuable as the Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill. The worth of this treasure was clear. Xu Chen, however, seemed unfazed, casually presenting a yellow-grade pill.
The sight of the yellow-grade pill caused a ripple of awe through the crowd.
Though this was the Central Region, the largest city in the area, yellow-grade pills were far from common.
Additionally, those present were mostly from smaller sects or scattered cultivators. A yellow-grade pill was no trivial matter.
The elderly man on the platform was visibly taken aback. He hesitated as he approached the stone table, opening the medicine box. A bright light and a pleasant fragrance filled the air, confirming that it was indeed the Nine Revolutions True Elemental Pill.
“You brought out a Nine-Cycle True Elemental Pill right away?”
The elderly man’s eyes flickered. This particular pill stood out far above the others on the table.
“Of course. I don’t have any star-grade medicines on hand.”
Xu Chen nodded with confidence and then looked directly at Cheng Qingfeng. “Shall we begin? You’ve fought six battles already, but I don’t have much time. I won’t take advantage of you—how about I give you six moves? Does that sound fair?”
Cheng Qingfeng, initially surprised by the Nine-Cycle True Elemental Pill, now wore an expression of fierce determination. Xu Chen was clearly underestimating him by offering only six moves.
“You’ve become too arrogant!”
Cheng Qingfeng’s gaze locked on Xu Chen, his golden eyes glowing and his long hair flowing in the wind. His aura surged with power.
“This isn’t arrogance, it’s confidence. Go ahead.”
Xu Chen spoke with a calm demeanor, his striking face glowing with subtle confidence. His eyes shimmered briefly, drawing everyone’s attention. His unshakable self-assurance made it seem as if everything was unfolding as it should.
That very confidence made Cheng Qingfeng feel an inexplicable unease. The longer he looked at Xu Chen, the more unsettling the feeling became.
“Bring out your weapon!”
Cheng Qingfeng commanded, his eyes fixed on Xu Chen.
“No need. Let’s finish this quickly, I’m in a hurry!”
Xu Chen tilted his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. His demeanor enchanted the onlookers, many of whom were spellbound by his charm.
“Arrogance comes at a cost!”
Cheng Qingfeng’s anger flared. The other party’s dismissal of him was intolerable.
As Xu Chen made his appearance, the crowd was filled with awe. His display of the yellow-grade pill clearly indicated a high status from a prestigious sect, something Cheng Qingfeng could hardly accept.
Having already won six rounds, he needed to continue his streak in this seventh match.
His goal was to secure ten consecutive victories. Coming from a small mountain sect, he could not compete with disciples from well-established sects.
This fight was crucial—it would be his ticket to fame.
The disciples from these grand sects were stepping stones to his success!
“Boom!”
A powerful aura surged as Cheng Qingfeng’s eyes narrowed with determination, focusing sharply on Xu Chen.
