We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World Chapter 2
Previously on We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World...
“Senior Brother Su Chen is a genius within our outer sect. Despite being at Level Seven of the Qi Gathering Realm, which might not be enough to defeat that Level Three Qi Sea Realm beast, he's absolutely capable of escaping!”
“Moreover, Elder Xie is there to assist. How could Senior Brother Su Chen possibly be injured?”
“The elder’s words are likely intended to prevent us from venturing out too early for experience.”
“That’s exactly it!”
“Precisely, there’s no way he could be injured.”
A chorus of agreement rippled through the surrounding crowd. They had all witnessed Su Chen’s true capabilities and thus couldn’t believe the rumors of his injury, let alone the whispers of his meridians being broken.
“Even so!”
“If Senior Brother Su Chen is indeed injured, it must be a minor one.”
“Everyone, let’s not forget what happened to Senior Brother Su Chen the previous two times!”
“Indeed! We must have faith that he will pull through this time as well.”
Hope flickered in everyone’s eyes upon hearing this reminder.
A year prior, Su Chen had faced two life-threatening predicaments.
The first instance occurred during a mission when he stumbled upon a demonic sect’s stronghold.
At that moment, everyone assumed his demise was imminent.
However, the following day, news emerged of a righteous sect’s martial arts expert passing through the area and dismantling the demonic sect’s entire operation.
Consequently, Su Chen acquired all the resources within the stronghold, and his cultivation realm advanced by two levels.
The second occasion was while en route back to the sect; he encountered the infamous elder of the Blood Demon Sect.
Captivated by Su Chen’s exceptional talent, the elder intended to extract his blood essence for refinement.
Upon receiving this news, every member of the Great Mystery Sect believed Su Chen was doomed.
But…
To everyone’s astonishment…
Three days later, Su Chen reappeared at the sect, unharmed and alive.
His cultivation had also surged dramatically, leaping forward by three complete levels.
These two consecutive events made everyone in the Great Mystery Sect exceptionally curious about Su Chen.
From that point onward, concerns about Su Chen facing danger outside the sect dissipated.
Though this latest incident arose unexpectedly, all the outer sect disciples who held Su Chen in high regard felt confident he wouldn’t suffer any harm.
“Oh, I heard that the Everlasting Sect is spreading rumors that Senior Brother Su Chen will perish within a day…”
At this juncture, a young outer sect disciple suddenly spoke up.
The moment he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present turned grim.
“Hmph!”
“Those despicable Everlasting Sect cultivators! Once I break through to the Qi Sea Realm, I’ll settle the score with them!”
An outer sect disciple, glaring in the direction of the Everlasting Sect, declared with righteous indignation.
Su Chen had always treated him with kindness, frequently sharing cultivation resources.
Therefore, upon learning that Su Chen’s potential predicament might involve the Everlasting Sect, and that they were slandering him, fury surged within him.
“Enough! The elders will ascertain if the Everlasting Sect disciples orchestrated this. The truth will be revealed when we see Senior Brother Su Chen. We must not act rashly!” a handsome outer sect disciple advised, his face serious as he addressed the indignant disciples.
The majority of the disciples present had benefited from Su Chen’s generosity.
Consequently, they held him in deep respect.
Hearing the Everlasting Sect’s attempts to tarnish Su Chen’s reputation naturally displeased them.
“The Everlasting Sect desires us to act impulsively, initiating a conflict between the two sects. We should not proceed to their doorstep now; we must not let them achieve their goal. Otherwise, even the elders won’t be able to shield us!”
With that, Cao Yun cast a glance towards Su Chen’s living quarters.
Su Chen shared a close bond with him and often provided guidance on cultivation matters.
As someone close to Su Chen and currently leading the group, Cao Yun felt a responsibility towards these junior disciples.
What if they were to rush to the Everlasting Sect in a fit of rage?
In such a scenario, he would be deemed a sinner of the sect.
“Do not fret, Senior Brother Su Chen will be alright. I believe everyone here recalls his two past experiences. He possesses the legendary Heavenly Dao Providence, ensuring his safety. Although Elder Xie remains in a difficult position, we must hold faith in Senior Brother Su,” Cao Yun stated with conviction.
“That’s right! We must believe in Senior Brother Su Chen. Perhaps this tribulation will become an opportunity for him to ascend directly to the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!”
Just as Cao Yun concluded his statement, another disciple chimed in.
The other disciples present echoed his sentiment.
“Perhaps by the time we reach Senior Brother Su Chen’s residence, he will have fully recovered,” Cao Yun remarked with a smile.
He then proceeded to lead the disciples towards Su Chen’s abode.
…
Simultaneously.
Within Su Chen's abode.

At this precise moment.
A cascade of system notifications resonated.
Su Chen stood in astonishment upon hearing the system's pronouncements.
It appeared that the network of connections, diligently established by the original host previously, had not been in vain!
If individuals continued to extol his virtues in such a manner, not only would his injuries mend, but his cultivation realm would also advance by a significant step.
[Boasting Records: Senior Brother Su Chen shall surely recover: 22/25]
[Boasting Records: Attaining the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm: 10/30]
[...]
A succession of alerts chimed within Su Chen's consciousness.
Buzz...
Swiftly.
A formidable surge of spiritual energy erupted within his being.
The fractured meridians were rapidly restored to their former integrity.
In the blink of an eye, he was as he had been before.
Perceiving the alterations within his body, Su Chen couldn't refrain from releasing a prolonged sigh of relief.
Shortly thereafter, he gradually rose from his resting place, his joints emitting audible cracks.
In the subsequent instant, the system's persistent ringing in his mind ceased.
The previously scarce spiritual power coursing through him abruptly halted its flow.
Immediately following this.
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound emanated from within Su Chen's physical form.
The chamber was instantly enveloped in a brilliant luminescence. Unending divine light surged forth from his Dantian, producing a deafening roar akin to a colossal wave.
Within Su Chen's Dantian, spiritual energy seemed to pour forth inexhaustibly, transforming into divine radiance that bathed the entire room in a golden hue.
The potent spiritual energy coursed through Su Chen's extremities, initiating profound and transformative changes throughout his body.
“Boom!”
A muffled report echoed from Su Chen's physique, as though certain internal barriers had been shattered.
He instantly perceived the world with newfound clarity, as if he had attained celestial transcendence. This sensation was truly exhilarating.
The eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!
