My gorgeous wife Chapter 2403 - 2371: Song Yao
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
And so, Li Chen wobbled and knocked down hundreds of challengers again.
By this point, even the most foolish of the geniuses realized something was off.
Who would appear to be on the verge of collapse, yet still manage to slap away hundreds of challengers one by one?
This guy is playing them!
Realizing this, the group of geniuses gritted their teeth even harder at the figure standing on the high platform.
They weren’t afraid to face challenges or to lose to a powerful cultivator.
But this kind of defeat was indeed difficult for them to accept.
After all, from getting on the platform to being knocked off, it was only a matter of breaths, even including the time when the match was announced to start!
This guy, who looked so frail, could always knock people down. How else could this be anything but playing them?
Obviously having such powerful strength yet deliberately pretending to be weak to lure them one by one.
At this moment, the group of geniuses felt like they had suffered a tremendous insult!
An insult to their intelligence!
Because they foolishly fell one by one into such an obvious trap.
And the most critical thing was that each challenger left behind an extraordinary treasure. Such wealth and terrifying wealth accumulation methods were envy-inducing to anyone!
But clearly, the prerequisite for these two days was to have a more formidable strength.
They didn’t have such strength, but it was clear that Li Chen did.
Finally, the calm geniuses no longer charged the platform recklessly in a frenzy.
And just when they were about to take a breather, Li Chen suddenly spoke with a look of agony: "Oh no, I’m getting more weak, and I’m injured. If this continues, I might really lose here."
"How can I lose here?" Li Chen growled.
However, faced with Li Chen’s superb acting skills, not a single person below reacted.
Because not long ago, Li Chen had used this move many times.
The group of geniuses watched the pretending Li Chen with blank faces, no longer falling for it! Absolutely not!
At this moment, as if some news had spread, several people in the crowd slowly stood up.
And these few, whether in aura or subtlety, were all far superior to the surrounding geniuses.
Soul Realm!
As Soul Realm experts, they finally decided to make a move. Initially, limited by some other factors or issues of pride, they felt it somewhat beneath them to challenge a Domain Realm warrior.
But now, some information from the sect compelled them to act. When it came to the sect’s prestige and personal factors, was there even a choice?
"Sword Palace, Song Yao!"
A young man wielding a sword climbed onto the high platform, his aura robust.
From the concentration of his aura and reserved gaze, it was evident this person was far stronger than the previous challengers.
Soul Realm!
Without a doubt, he was a Soul Realm expert.
Indeed, the white-haired young man had an exceptionally powerful trump card; even fellow Domain warriors couldn’t block his moves.
But what if the opponent were a Soul Realm expert?
Everyone watched expectantly.
The middle-aged man presiding over the battle from Hidden Dragon Valley also nodded; Song Yao from the Sword Palace was unquestionably an outstanding young genius who stood out even on the Nine Heavens Continent, where geniuses were plentiful, reaching the Soul Realm at such a young age.
It’s worth noting that Song Yao, having cultivated up till now, hadn’t even reached a thousand years of age.
A Soul Realm expert under a thousand years old was exceptionally rare, not just on the Nine Heavens Continent but even throughout the entire Jianmu Universe.
... Not everyone can be measured by Li Chen’s freakish standards.
As Song Yao appeared, the surrounding people naturally lowered their voices. What they wanted to see most now was undoubtedly Song Yao knocking that hateful white-haired guy off the platform.
Even those who used to see Song Yao as a target and rival hoped he’d quickly resolve that hateful guy because that guy was just too hateful!
So hateful, in fact, that he managed to unite everyone against him!
Of course, the most crucial point is this guy used such disgraceful means to accumulate wealth crazily. At this moment, the total treasures he had probably surpassed the entire foundation of some mid-to-upper sects on the Nine Heavens Continent!
After all, one or two thousand challengers had previously fallen to him, and each challenger had carried exceptional treasures.
"Make your move!"
Song Yao looked calmly at Li Chen.
He was also curious about Li Chen. Of course, as a Soul Realm expert, he had his pride. Hence, he let Li Chen strike first to test if that mysterious attack was really so powerful and also to compensate for his guilt in challenging a Domain Realm warrior as a Soul Realm expert.
Li Chen looked at this young man who exuded an extraordinary aura and couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly.
Youngsters are just too innocent.
Li Chen could see this young man was indeed quite remarkable, perhaps born into the best cultivation and education conditions, smoothly reaching his point without encountering many setbacks.
Only such people would possess that unique arrogance.
Li Chen had arrogance too, but he wouldn’t foolishly display it on his face.
This stems from their different experiences.
Song Yao enjoyed top-tier education and flawless guidance, reaching this point.
Yet Li Chen came from the bottom, fighting step by step, bleeding each step forward.
They represented two extremes.
If Li Chen was still his Earthly version, maybe he’d scheme a way to properly teach this young man with a golden spoon that the cultivator’s path wasn’t easy.
But now... Li Chen didn’t have such a mood.
"Though outwardly unchanged, my mentality still aged a bit," Li Chen couldn’t help but mock himself with a smile.
Meanwhile, Song Yao furrowed his brows. Seeing the smile on Li Chen’s face, he couldn’t quite understand.
What was this? Mocking him? But it didn’t seem like it.
Because with his sharpness, he perceived a bit of unknown bitterness from Li Chen’s open expression.
This guy, what exactly is he smiling about...
Before Song Yao figured this out, the white-haired young man suddenly looked up at him.
In those eyes, there seemed to be boundless starry skies swirling, captivating him.
In merely an instant, Song Yao was lost.
The next moment.
"Boom!!"
Song Yao was sent flying.
