Chapter 512: 509: Turning the Tables_1
Crushing a useless person is meaningless.
But crushing a genius is different.
After crushing this genius, he could gain supreme glory. At that time, he, who was originally in the low point of his life and abandoned by Changning County, would instantly have everything Yang Chen possessed. At that time, how could Han Lingling possibly enter his sight?
Thinking about it, greed appeared on Ma Shenghe’s face.
For him, all of this only required defeating Yang Chen, through such a simple process.
It wouldn’t take long.
The geniuses of Beishan Main City were sensible.
Everyone enjoyed watching the excitement. Seeing that Yang Chen was about to face Ma Shenghe, they naturally gave way to provide enough space for Yang Chen and Ma Shenghe.
Moreover, with the high-level presence of Beishan Main City, their fighting would not really hurt others.
“Yang Chen, don’t worry, it will be quick.” Ma Shenghe snickered and gestured. A long knife appeared in his hand.
As he held the knife, a purple light surged on the blade. This flowing light was obviously an effect of some cultivation method practiced by Ma Shenghe.
When this method was activated, it was also the moment when Ma Shenghe made his move. His knife flowed with brilliant colors, instantly filling the surrounding space. Then, the light gathered together, sweeping and attacking Yang Chen directly.
“How powerful!”
“Such a strong force.”
As the brilliance appeared, the surrounding spectators were shocked and retreated. They all felt the powerful force emanating from Ma Shenghe’s attack.
For a moment, the fight became unpredictable.
Who would win?
As everyone was thinking this, suddenly, Yang Chen raised his hand.
He didn’t take out a weapon, he just gently raised his hand.
At the moment when Yang Chen raised his hand, a powerful aura began to linger around his body. This aura was the intense aura he had achieved at the peak of the third layer of the Yuanwu Realm when he came out of the Trial Tower.
The moment this aura was released, the whole scene was shocked. Everyone became dumbfounded, unsure of how to articulate their feelings. Looking at Ma Shenghe, he was already trembling with fear, his eyes full of horror, intertwined with regret. But at this point, it was too late for regrets.
“The third layer of the Yuanwu Realm!”
“Yang Chen reached the third layer of the Yuanwu Realm, when did this happen?”
As the crowd discussed, they suddenly heard a loud rumble.
An imposing electric dragon roared past, lightning and sparks surrounding the entire area. In just a moment’s effort, the electric dragon dispersed, and Ma Shenghe stood stiffly in place, cold sweat running down his body, his weapon falling to the ground.
“What happened?”
“What just happened?”
Just now, everyone only saw an electric dragon roaring by, but didn’t know the outcome.
As everyone was curious, Ma Shenghe sighed with difficulty and said, “I lost.”
Others didn’t know what had happened, but Ma Shenghe knew very clearly. In that instant, Yang Chen had shown mercy. When the electric dragon swept over him, it only injured his right arm and avoided harming the rest of his body. Otherwise, Ma Shenghe knew very well that there would be no chance for him to survive!
With no other choice, he had to admit defeat. It was not that Yang Chen’s mercy touched him, but rather the gap between him and Yang Chen was too big.
With just a simple move, Yang Chen could easily annihilate him
“Good kid!” Mo Zhi Jiao observed everything clearly. “At the beginning, when I observed this kid’s Qi, I felt he was hiding something.”
If he had observed more carefully, he would naturally know Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation level. However, he didn’t do that. He knew that Yang Chen had reached the Yuan Martial Realm but didn’t say anything. Now at a glance, Yang Chen actually reached the third layer of the Yuan Martial Realm.
“Right, we almost forgot that Yang Chen passed the 20th floor of the Trial Tower, the astonishing number of Creation Divine Auras, that will enhance Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation to a high level.” Steward Xu muttered.
Realizing this, the other geniuses in Beishan Main City also understood.
No wonder Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation level was that high.
Because people enter the Trial Tower as a half-step in the Yuan Martial Realm, but that doesn’t mean they still are when they come out. Yang Chen had reached the twentieth floor in one breath. How could his martial arts cultivation possibly not improve under the astonishing number of Creation Divine Auras? It’s just that nobody thought of it at first.
Now that they remembered, they realized how foolish their initial thoughts were.
Ma Shenghe was completely regretful by now.
He even dared to compete with a genius who had reached the third layer of the Yuanwu Realm and passed the twentieth floor of the Trial Tower. Wasn’t that suicide?
At this time, Yang Chen didn’t bother to argue with Ma Shenghe. He knew very well that Ma Shenghe’s actions were entirely due to Han Lingling’s instigation. Without Han Lingling’s instigation, he and Ma Shenghe would have no grievances, and Ma Shenghe would not challenge him.
With that in mind, Yang Chen no longer wasted words and spoke directly, “Brother Ma, I appreciate it. About the Spirit Stones.”
Ma Shenghe sighed. Now that he recognized the gap with Yang Chen, he didn’t want to compare himself to Yang Chen anymore. He took out the storage bag containing five million Spirit Stones from his chest. With a swing of his hand, Ma Shenghe threw the Spirit Stones to Yang Chen.
“Five million Spirit Stones, not one less. If you don’t believe me, you can count them,” Ma Shenghe said.
“No need, I trust Brother Ma.” Yang Chen collected the Spirit Stones.
After that, Yang Chen didn’t stay any longer. He just gave Han Lingling a half-smiling, half-cold glance, then left without pursuing the matter further.
Ma Shenghe was now utterly disheartened. As he listened to the ridicules of many Beishan Main City geniuses, he fully realized his own shortcomings. Did he lack talent? No, he had talent. It was just that his vanity, competitiveness, and jealousy made him forget the essence of martial arts cultivation.
That was also the reason why he could never be the strongest for a long time because the one he should surpass was himself, not others.
Thinking about it, the anger in Ma Shenghe’s heart gradually subsided. Although the five million Spirit Stones were a lot, they also gave him a heavy lesson. He didn’t plan to talk to Han Lingling about the Spirit Stones anymore.
However, Ma Shenghe thought that he was very generous by not mentioning it. But he didn’t know that he had encountered Han Lingling.
At this moment, when he returned to Han Lingling’s side, she coldly said, “Ma Shenghe, we are not suitable. Don’t come to see me again!”
