Supreme Lord of Towers

The Celestial Flame Academy is composed of four major factions.

Although the War King Hall has completely fallen, it is still part of the Celestial Flame Academy.

Their relationship is one of mutual prosperity and loss.

Therefore, if Ye Chen, the Hall Master of the War King Hall, were really defeated by a student from the Black Sand Academy, then the Celestial Flame Peak Master and others would be humiliated along with him.

After all, Ye Chen holds a position in the War King Hall that is on par with theirs.

”Ye Chen, the Palace Master’s words are true; this is no longer just your issue. We definitely don’t want to be embarrassed together with you.” Soul Palace Master Chen Fei said in an extremely severe tone.

Even Duanmu Ying, who was nearby, had her brows tightly furrowed at this moment.

Originally, she did want Ye Chen to go up and be fiercely humiliated by Tong Shan to vent her inner hatred.

But now, she’s a bit unwilling.

After all, this is about her own dignity.

If Ye Chen were really defeated easily by Tong Shan, then these sect leaders would surely be humiliated together.

”Hmph! Little brat, you really don’t have any self-awareness, do you? Tong Shan’s cultivation has reached the Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm, and he possesses three times the Qi Sea Foundation! And you? You’re just a useless person who has just entered the Gang Qi Realm; he can crush you like an ant.” Duanmu Ying coldly said, her eyes full of mockery.

It’s known that the Gang Qi of a Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm expert is twice as vigorous as that of a cultivator at the Tenth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm.

Even the most ordinary Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm expert has Gang Qi containing the power of a thousand tigers, not much weaker than a Celestial Spirit Realm First Layer Qi Dao Grandmaster.

And Tong Shan, possessing three times the Qi Sea Foundation, has Gang Qi containing power three times that of an ordinary Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm expert, reaching the power of three thousand tigers.

Even though Ye Chen once defeated Ning Hongye and Chen Bai.

In front of Tong Shan, he is utterly powerless.

His opponent merely needs to use the Gang Qi within him to easily crush Ye Chen, not to mention that the opponent possesses an extremely powerful physique and has awakened a Profound Level Grade Three bloodline.

Therefore, Duanmu Ying truly cannot understand where Ye Chen gets his confidence to challenge Tong Shan?

”Palace Master, you notified us at War King Hall to participate, but now I’ve come, and you won’t let me participate. How would you feel if you were made a fool like this?” Ye Chen said with a cold smile.

In fact, he had been reluctant to participate in such a boring contest.

With this time, he might as well improve his own cultivation.

If it weren’t for the Celestial Flame Peak Master sending someone to bring him over, he wouldn’t have come to this place.

But now, the Celestial Flame Peak Master won’t allow him to fight, which places his dignity in a pitiful position.

”Fine, useless person, since you want to seek humiliation so badly, I’ll graciously give you a chance. Hurry up and roll over here, I don’t want to waste too much time on a piece of trash like you.” At this time, Tong Shan on the battle stage said impatiently.

He originally disdained taking action against Ye Chen, a waste who couldn’t even awaken his bloodline. To him, it was simply a desecration.

However, since Ye Chen is so unaware of his own limitations, he might as well fulfill Ye Chen’s wish.

Anyway, defeating a waste like Ye Chen won’t take much time, just one move will be enough.

”Since you’re so confident in defeating me, dare you wager against me?” To everyone’s surprise, Ye Chen didn’t rush to the stage to fight Tong Shan but instead spoke in a challenging tone.

”Heh! Of course, why wouldn’t I? Crushing you, a waste, is effortless. Tell me, what do you want to bet?” Tong Shan sneered, his expression filled with utmost disdain.

”Ten million ordinary Spirit Stones. If you don’t have the guts, you can refuse and let someone else fight me.” Ye Chen said with a cold smile.

”Hmph! Ten million ordinary Spirit Stones, can you, a waste, afford that? Oh right, I forgot you’re the Hall Master of War King Hall. Although your skills are weak, you should have some wealth. In that case, I’ll accept your bet.” Tong Shan replied with a teasing tone, assuming victory over Ye Chen.

Even for him, ten million ordinary Spirit Stones is quite a sum.

He could afford it, but if he lost, it would hurt him significantly.

Yet, he never considered he might lose to Ye Chen, who can’t even awaken his bloodline.

So, he agreed to Ye Chen’s proposal almost without hesitation.

”This is Celestial Flame Academy; I hope you don’t back out later, or else your Black Sand Academy might become a laughingstock.” Ye Chen said with a half-smile.

”Hmph! What’s this wealth worth? If Tong Shan really loses to you, this waste, I’ll cover the ten million ordinary Spirit Stones myself. I’m just worried that you can’t even withstand a single move from Tong Shan.” Luo Yong taunted Ye Chen, looking at him like a clown.

In his view, a waste like Ye Chen who cannot awaken his bloodline stands no chance against Tong Shan.

These ten million ordinary Spirit Stones are already in Tong Shan’s pocket.

”Tong Shan, your luck is incredible, encountering such a fool. Why not let me finish the match for you?”

”Indeed, any one of us could easily defeat such a waste; a million ordinary Spirit Stones seem too easy to earn.” The students of Black Sand Academy were envious of Tong Shan.

Because he could earn ten million ordinary Spirit Stones for no reason.

”Ridiculous, this waste has gone mad, does he really think he can defeat Tong Shan?”

”Impossible, unless the sun rises in the West. Otherwise, no miracle will occur.” Students from the three major factions whispered among themselves, looking at Ye Chen like he’s an idiot.

”Hall Master, don’t! Our War King Hall’s treasury no longer holds so many Spirit Stones; if you lose the match, what will we do?” Ye Chen’s companion, Ouyang Wu, was sweating profusely.

The treasury of War King Hall had already been emptied by Ouyang Yi, leaving no possibility of fetching one million ordinary Spirit Stones!

If Ye Chen lost the match, the consequences would be unimaginable.

”Uncle Wu, trust Ye Chen this once; I believe he can defeat his opponent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do this.” Although Ouyang Xue felt anxious for Ye Chen, she chose to believe in him.

”Heh! I’m curious to see what this waste will use to compensate after losing!” Behind Duanmu Ying, an elderly man snickered, watching the scene unfold.

This elder was none other than Ouyang Yi.

He had already emptied War King Hall’s treasury, leaving no chance for Ye Chen to gather the Spirit Stones.

Yet, Ye Chen had boasted to the powers at Black Sand Academy.

If he couldn’t deliver the Spirit Stones, he would face dire consequences.

”Damn it, this guy is so stubborn. Today, he’s truly going to disgrace our Celestial Flame Academy.” The Celestial Flame Peak Master’s face turned extremely ugly, as if he could already foresee Ye Chen being trampled underfoot by Tong Shan.

”Alright, useless person, now you may roll over here and fight me. Consider it a grand honor for you.” On the battle stage, Tong Shan beckoned Ye Chen, his eyes filled with profound contempt and mockery.

Whoosh.

In the next instant, Ye Chen’s figure flashed, leaving behind a silhouette at his original place, as he flew towards the battle stage.
