Chapter 2241: Getting in the Way
Immediately, a red handprint appeared on Wen Cheng’s face.
However, Jian Chen did not think that this was enough. He ignored Wen Cheng’s vicious gaze as he slapped his other cheek.
What happened next stunned everyone around the ring. All they saw was that Jian Chen wanted to properly humiliate Wen Cheng. Left and right, he slapped him over a dozen times, causing Wen Cheng’s cheeks to become bright red and swell up.
In the end, Jian Chen coated his hand in milky-white light. He used some force this time, sending Wen Cheng flying out of the ring.
With that, the battle between a one-colored soulcore and a three-colored soulcore Radiant Saint Master came to an end. However, the outcome surprised everyone, making them fall silent.
“Chang Yang, very impressive. I will remember you,” a while later, Gongzheng Xin broke the silence. He said to Jian Chen emotionlessly before turning around and leaving.
“Heavens. Is there something wrong with my eyes? It can’t be real. It definitely can’t be real. A Radiant Saint Master with a three-colored soulcore has actually been defeated by a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore…”
“This is just unbelievable. I refuse to believe that this as real…”
“Chang Yang has basically done the impossible…”
Only now did a messy series of cries ring out on the square. All the Radiant Saint Masters called out, either lost in excitement or shock.
All of them looked at the bloodied Jian Chen who stood in the centre of the ring as they revealed looks of admiration.
“Junior brother has won! Junior brother has won! Junior brother has defeated Wen Cheng…” Bai Yu became completely stunned. She struggled to accept this all, struggled to believe this all as real.
Jian Chen stood in the ring as he clutched the wound on his chest. Even though his blood had oozed out, he had already concealed the great energy within the chaotic blood, so it was no different from ordinary blood.
他目光扫视广场四周那一群惊呼不止的光明圣师，神色平静。
He calmly glanced past the Radiant Saint Masters who called out constantly in the surroundings.
“Chang Yang!” At this moment, the lord of the Sky Gazing Peak spoke out. He spoke normally, but his voice rang across the entire square and drowned out the various cries.
Immediately, the noisy square fell silent.
“Chang Yang greets the peak lord,” Jian Chen clasped his fist towards the peak lord of the Sky Gazing Peak. Even though his robes were no longer clean anymore, dyed red from blood, it did not affect his bearing at all. Instead, it added some special flair to his appearance.
“Chang Yang, you are the most powerful Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore I have ever seen. Your unprecedented act of defeating a Radiant Saint Master with a three-colored soulcore has left me completely stunned,” smiled the peak lord. Afterwards, with a flip of his hand, he took out a thumb-sized, violet lotus from his Space Ring. He said to Jian Chen, “This Thousand Leaf Lotus can bring great benefits to Hallowed Saint Masters below the five-colored soulcore. It can allow your strength to increase drastically. I will be bestowing it upon you as a reward to you. I hope you can comprehend the Laws of the Hallowed soon and become a Hallowed Saint Master.”
As he said that, the Thousand Leaf Lotus in the peak lord’s hand was surrounded by Radiant Saint Force and slowly drifted towards Jian Chen.
“Thank you, peak lord,” Jian Chen did not make a big deal out of it. After thanking the peak lord with clasped hands, he accepted the Thousand Leaf Lotus under the gazes of all the Radiant Saint Masters present.
Afterwards, he exchanged some pleasantries with the peak lord of the Sky Gazing Peak and left.
“Chang Yang, may I ask if you’re willing to exchange your Thousand Leaf Lotus with me? Of course, I definitely won’t disappoint you,” at this moment, the nine star genius Xin Bin arrived before Jian Chen and smiled warmly.
Jian Chen studied the Thousand Leaf Lotus in his hands. Although the Thousand Leaf Lotus was not of particularly high grade, it was very beneficial to Radiant Saint Masters, so he turned down Xin Bin’s offer.
“The Thousand Leaf Lotus won’t have particularly great effects on junior Chang Yang. If junior Chang Yang is willing to exchange with me, I can offer you a heavenly resource that’s worth ten times more. Junior Chang Yang, please consider it. Come find me once you’ve made up your mind,” Xin Bin left with that.
“Bai Long, save the complete video of Chang Yang fighting Wen Cheng,” the peak lord stood in his jade-white palace on the top of the Sky Gazing Peak as he said to a black-robed envoy.
“We’ve saved it. We completely save every single fight that happens in all the rings,” Bai Long said politely.
“Alright. Take the video of the battle to the sacred hall. Show the elders. Chang Yang is an extremely outstanding genius. Our Radiant Saint Hall should nurture him with our efforts, but that is up to the elders,” said the peak lord.
“Yes, peak lord!”
Jian Chen had already left the ring now. Wherever he passed, the surrounding Radiant Saint Masters would step aside and open up a path for him willingly.
“Junior sister, let’s go back,” Jian Chen directly arrived before Bai Yu and said to her.
“Yep,” at this moment, Bai Yu was still in a daze. She glanced at Wen Cheng, who had fainted on the ground, before following Jian Chen blankly.
At the same time, the envoy, Bai Long, took the recording of the battle and left the Sky Gazing Peak. He flew towards the scared hall standing above the clouds.
“Halt!”
The security of the sacred hall was extremely strict. As soon as Bai Long approached it, he was stopped by two middle-aged men in violet robes.
Bai Long knew that they were guards of the sacred hall. Both their status and power were greater than the envoys. Immediately, he bowed slightly and said, “I am an envoy of the Sky Gazing Peak. I’ve come under the orders of the peak lord to deliver this to the esteemed elders.”
“Pass it to us, and you can leave,” said one of the violet-robed guards.
Bai Long hesitated slightly, but he still passed the crystal to one of the guards in the end. After that, he left the sacred hall.
The two violet-robed guards took the crystal that held the recording and made their way into the sacred hall.
“The two of you, stop,” at this moment, someone called out gently. Gongzheng Xin walked over steadily with his arms behind his back.
The two guards both clasped their fists in greeting when they saw Gongzheng Xin. Not only was Gongzheng Xin a nine star genius within the Radiant Saint Hall, but he was also the disciple of an elder. His status was so great that the status of the guards was nowhere close to his.
“What did the envoy before give you?” Gongzheng Xin asked arrogantly with his head held high.
“It’s a crystal for us to pass on to the elders,” replied a guard.
A cold light flickered through Gongzheng Xin’s eyes. He said, “My teacher is one of the elders, and I just happen to be on my way to see him. Give me the crystal. I’ll take it over for you.”
The two guards looked at each other. They dared not disobey Gongzheng Xin, who was extremely likely to become the Chosen Saint. As such, they could only pass the crystal to him obediently.
Gongzheng Xin left with the crystal before stopping in an empty region. He took out the crystal that contained the recording of the battle and sneered. Clenching his hand, he directly crushed the crystal to dust.
