Chapter 45: Storms (Part 2)

“I accept his challenge.” Among the four groups of people who came, two young people were clearly walking in front of everyone. One of them was wearing a Tang suit. I knew it was Zhang Han, and the other person who answered was very similar to Xiao Chengqian’s appearance in the past. He was wearing a well-tailored suit, and a bright-colored silk scarf was tucked in the collar of his white shirt. a brightly colored silk scarf, which, combined with his tall stature and three-dimensional facial features, made him look like a nobleman, just like Xiao Chengqian, only he looked much more masculine than Xiao Chengqian, who had a more feminine and handsome appearance.

I don’t know this person, but when he didn’t deliberately suppress his aura, but instead released it, I had a slight feeling in my heart. On that rainy night in the mountain village, there was a person with exceptionally outstanding spiritual awareness who almost caught me several times. If my intuition is correct, it should be him.

“His challenge should be taken by me—Yan Chen Ning.” Zhang Han’s face was not too good, but he said something to the man who looked like a nobleman.

My guess was right. That person who looked like a nobleman was Yan Chen-ning from that night!

“Zhang Han, what makes you so special?” Zhang Han’s words made me feel like the most popular thing in the world. Not only did Yan Chen Ning look at Zhang Han with a sneer, but the other young people who came out with him also stared at Zhang Han with ill intent.

Facing the anger of the crowd, Zhang Han seemed to not care. With one hand behind his back and the other lightly tapping his nose, he said, “I don’t care. I don’t even mind if we have a melee first to decide the winner, and then decide who will fight that guy.”

Zhang Han’s words made many people’s minds calm down a little, and some even took a step back.

Only Yan Chen Ning looked at Zhang Han almost unyielding, with a cold gleam in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, “Zhang Han, don’t be too arrogant.”

Zhang Han did not say anything, but Zheng Mingyi, who was wearing leather clothes, took off the sunglasses on his nose and said to Yan Chen with a wicked smile on his lips: “Mr. Yan, you can only bully me at best. If you are not satisfied, defeat my eldest brother first. Don’t think that your outstanding spiritual awareness is everything, it’s very impressive.”

Yan Chen Ning’s face quickly changed, and after a long time, he said coldly, “Well, if you want to take the credit, if you want to take the fame, then I will let you have your way, but don’t be too embarrassed if you lose.”

Zhang Han’s face did not change at all, but he said coldly to Yan Chen Ning, “Do you think I will lose?” Then, he suddenly turned to look at me, his voice suddenly getting louder, and said, “Or do you think so?”

At this point, the stands were already in an uproar. Obviously, the fact that an unknown person like me had come on stage and had the four major forces all make a move at the same time was already baffling enough, not to mention that the people who came out were all the most outstanding people of the younger generation, and it seemed that there was even a dispute, which made people wonder.

Originally, people had no expectations for this competition, which was nearing its end, but suddenly things took a turn for the better, and people were obviously re-energized.

I didn’t care about the questions Zhang Han asked me at all. I was leisurely untying the annoying tie and unbuttoning the shirt, and at the same time, I sensitively noticed that the people from the Snow Mountain clan had divided into several teams and walked onto the bleachers, not knowing what they were going to do.

I threw off my tie, took off my suit, and revealed the yellow cloth bag hidden in the suit. I patted it habitually, and then said to Zhang Han, “I have no interest in the dog-biting-dog part. I don’t think you will lose. I just want to inform you in advance. Even if I win, I won’t join the S organization. You are not qualified.”

There was a special sound amplification device in the auditorium, and my words were transmitted to the entire venue through that sound amplification device, causing the venue to suddenly boil over. People began to speculate who I was, and they even said such arrogant words, saying that the S organization was not qualified to let me join.

Hearing my words, Yan Chen’ning’s face became even more sneering, not knowing whether he was laughing at me or Zhang Han. As for Zheng Mingyi, he looked at me with a fierce look, like a hungry wolf.

Only Zhang Han was unhurried and didn’t seem to care about what I said. He walked onto the stage step by step, which made people admire him. This man has a natural air of leadership, and it is indeed not fake. At least he doesn’t show his emotions, which is a skill that many young people can’t do.

In a moment, Zhang Han had already stood on the platform, five meters away from me, facing each other.

“There is a saying that has been circulating among the older generation of people in the industry. Do you know it?” Zhang Han, who was standing on the ring, spoke up. His voice was calm and he didn’t seem to have too many emotions.

I was holding the sleeves of my shirt, and in response to Zhang Han’s statement, I just shook my head. I’ve never been very interested in the inner circle.

“The saying is that you are the undisputed leader of the younger generation in the industry, and I am the undisputed leader of the hidden younger generation, but we have never had a chance to compare our strengths, so I really don’t know who is stronger.” Zhang Han’s voice was still calm, but standing on the ring, his words were already broadcast throughout the audience through the special sound amplification equipment on the ring.

This statement was like a bomb thrown into the crowd, more shocking than my previous few words. The crowd in the stands suddenly erupted.

The first person in the younger generation, isn’t this obvious?

I casually took off my glasses and threw them on the ground, then took out the bottle of facial cleanser from my pocket, squeezed it in my hand, and stared at Zhang Han and said, “How did you know my identity? Or did those elders and masters above your heads figure it out?”

Zhang Han remained silent, and his eyes fell on the young people from the four major powers under the ring. The young people automatically made way for him, and in the middle of the group stood a young man with a somewhat humble expression and a rather handsome appearance, who was now looking at me with a strange smile.

It was him, the young man who had planned to rob me that night on the grassland in the no-man’s-land, but I let him go.

I looked at him coldly and asked, “Did you guess my identity?”

<"Haha, I know what happened to my head. I know it was a powerful tiger spirit... and the most obvious sign of Chen Chengyi, the first of the younger generation, is that he has a tiger spirit, right?" The young man's smile became more sinister, and then he whispered, "This news is more valuable than anything I could have stolen. Then I saw you participate in the election for the Scattered people fight (Sanyin Dulei) competition... Oh, by the way, I've already been recruited by the S organization.">

People could hear my voice, but not the young man’s, and the speculation became even more intense. I noticed that the man in white had also come to the other side of the arena at some point, smiling and watching everything on the stage, his eyes flashing with strange excitement.

Facing the young man’s reply, I was silent for a moment. If I had another chance, what would I do? The answer was still yes. I would not kill him. The most peculiar thing about karma is that it is like a destination. No matter how tortuous the path, if it is your karma, you will eventually reach that destination. Whether or not I kill the young man, as long as I decide to go up to the stage tonight, I will be recognized in other ways.

Thinking about this, I felt relieved. Not killing is my own kindness, and it has nothing to do with anything else. I have to stick to myself. Otherwise, if I learn all kinds of “smart” things from the crowd, will I still be me?

“I didn’t think you guys would collect any garbage!” I opened the bottle of facial cleanser.

“Oh, trash? Originally, the pursuit of the end of the road, you have to be determined, unscrupulous, survival of the fittest, tenacious guy, I don’t think he’s trash.” Zhang Han said calmly, his words made the young man who betrayed me straighten his back a little.

“Then we have different paths and we can’t work together.” I said lightly, poured the facial cleanser on my face and began to scrub it seriously.

“If we don’t agree, we are destined to fight. If I were you, I would think not about fighting, but about how to get out of it afterwards. After thinking for a long time, I also thought there was no hope, so tonight is your last battle. It’s a beautiful thing to be talked about by people, so use all your strength.” Zhang Han said this, paused for a moment, and suddenly shouted, “Chen Chengyi!”

The crowd finally erupted. My identity was completely revealed by Zhang Han at this time, and the most widely circulated news during this period of time was not the news that I, the first person of the younger generation, had been killed? Not to mention the various rumors and the secret tracking by various organizations. I am afraid that even slightly sensitive people know how much unrest my “death” has caused.

At this moment, my face was already clean. I was very calm in the face of the crowd’s uproar. I originally thought that I would be nervous in the face of about 100,000 people, not to mention their boiling emotions!

I took a tissue from my pocket and carefully wiped my face. After I dried it, I threw the tissue away. From tonight on, I’m afraid that most of the cultivators will recognize my face.

“One battle at a time. But before that, I have to wait for someone, until the person I should be waiting for.” According to the time, my senior brothers and sisters should have appeared. In front of a large crowd, I just want to say it out loud, so as to avoid the four major forces from using any small tricks. This is one of the important reasons why I want to go to the arena.

“They’re almost here. It’s safe.” The white-robed man, who had been waiting on the stage to watch the excitement, suddenly interrupted.

What does he mean? I looked at him, but he winked at me and said with a smile, “On the arena, no matter what the grudges are, it’s time to fight. Let’s fight! I’m looking forward to it.”

I looked up and saw several teams of white-robed people escorting several people quickly toward the arena. My eyes suddenly welled up with tears. I finally saw them!

“Victory, the Snow Mountain clan will protect you.” The white-robed man suddenly dropped a bombshell in front of me.
