Chapter 647: Chapter 627: Shen Han Takes Action, Revealing His Strength
The words between the two carried a subtle sense of mutual admiration between heroes.
The dialogue managed to move many of the onlookers.
In other sects, genius disciples often find themselves at odds.
But in Five Immortals City, the geniuses respect each other.
Amidst the sighs of admiration, a discordant voice emerged.
Song Xiaodie felt she had to speak up for Shen Han.
"Everyone, wasn’t this martial art duel arranged to be between Senior Brother Qianmu Fan and Junior Brother Shen Han?
In our Five Immortals City, there should be no changing of participants last minute, right?"
Song Xiaodie’s voice was quite loud when she spoke.
As her words fell, numerous eyes turned to her.
Of course, they knew she was right, but no one intended to stop the duel.
Speaking such words would be equivalent to offending a large group of direct disciples.
The Martial Arts Arena had completely fallen silent at this moment.
Song Xiaodie, aware of the potential to offend, hesitated for a moment but then spoke again.
"Fellow disciples, according to the rules of Five Immortals City, after a duel, win or lose,
the next duel can only take place a month later, and the participant must have fully recovered from any injuries.
Senior Brother Tang’s challenge today would need to wait at least a month."
Song Xiaodie spoke again, and the crowd, though understanding, pretended ignorance.
Tang Chenyang completely ignored Song Xiaodie, his expression remaining calm.
The disciple in charge of the Martial Arts Arena was caught in a dilemma.
The rules were there, but as a disciple, he couldn’t blatantly break them.
Amidst the silence, a middle-aged man with a long beard floated in.
Landing on the outskirts of the Martial Arts Arena, he looked at the Inner Sect disciple managing the arena.
"Immediately arrange a duel between Chenyang and this disciple."
"I solemnly follow Elder Si Zhi’s command. I will arrange it immediately!"
With someone stepping in to speak, the disciple found his task much easier.
"Tang Chenyang and Shen Han, the duel is ready. It can begin immediately."
He spoke, signaling that the matter was settled.
However, for some reason, seeing an elder intervene, Song Xiaodie still attempted to stop them.
"Elder, in the rules of Five Immortals City, when was this ever permissible?
This duel..."
Before she could finish her words, Elder Si Zhi interrupted coldly.
"Name, identity, report immediately."
He had no intention of arguing with Song Xiaodie and directly asked for her information.
"Speak immediately."
Seeing her hesitant, Elder Si Zhi spoke again, with a bit more severity than before.
"Song Xiaodie, a disciple of the Inner Sect of Thick Earth Tower..."
"After this matter is settled, Elder Chen and I will explain the situation to you personally.
For now, let the duel begin immediately.
The time of these direct disciples is precious and shouldn’t be wasted."
Elder Si Zhi waved his hand, seemingly uninterested in the outcome of the duel, and left in a flutter.
At this moment, Tang Chenyang finally turned to look at his opponent.
His face was somewhat casual, his eyes occasionally glancing at Qianmu Fan.
"Don’t think about fleeing or surrendering; your Body Technique won’t let you escape.
Try to face me with some spine, and I’ll restrain myself a bit.
Otherwise, if you resort to any underhanded tactics, I, Tang Chenyang, will certainly be ruthless."
As he spoke, Tang Chenyang already gripped a long spear in his hand.
Having avoided Qianmu Fan, Shen Han now faced Tang Chenyang.
The disciples observing showed some sympathy for Shen Han upon seeing this outcome.
Qianmu Fan is a genius, a top talent who has broken seven constraints.
However, Tang Chenyang has not only broken seven constraints.
He also has cultivated ten more years than Qianmu Fan.
Tang Chenyang’s strength should be in the 7th Layer of the Grotto Heaven.
This kind of strength was not weaker than that of someone who had just entered the Immortal Realm.
The new cultivation system indeed progresses quickly.
In Great Wei, no one of Shen Han’s generation could possibly keep up with his pace.
But here, the first opponent he formally faced was not weaker than himself in terms of strength and realm.
In fact, the new cultivation system’s advancement is easy, only relatively so compared to the Old Method.
After entering the Grotto Heaven Realm, enhancing one’s strength still requires patience and comprehension.
"Senior Brother Tang’s strikes have always been relentless..."
"Poor Shen Han, facing Senior Brother Qianmu might have been less punishing.
Senior Brother Tang is much stronger than Senior Brother Qianmu and strikes more casually..."
Among the crowd, people whispered.
Perhaps it was Shen Han’s misfortune; many found themselves feeling some sympathy for him.
As Tang Chenyang mentioned, he hoped for Qianmu Fan to be his opponent, but not now, in the future.
Currently, Tang Chenyang’s power far surpassed that of Qianmu Fan.
However, Qianmu Fan’s potential and talent were enough for him to have high hopes.
At this point, both Song Xiaodie and Song Xiaobing wore worried expressions.
Xing Yonghai and those Servant Disciples appeared amused.
Most of the other observing disciples showed sympathy.
In the Martial Arts Arena, Tang Chenyang held his spear, unwilling to waste more time.
Before Tang Chenyang made his move, Wen Ranran couldn’t help but speak a few more words.
"This person is of low character, devoid of virtue.
He shows no respect to his own elders, nor reverence towards our senior brothers and sisters in Five Immortals City.
When Senior Brother Tang makes his move, be sure to give an appropriate punishment, and please do not be too lenient."
Tang Chenyang turned to look at Wen Ranran and nodded slightly.
"Then let him lie down for a year to reflect on his actions."
As the words fell, his long spear thrust forward with force.
