Chapter 86
Chapter 86 – Another Dark Horse
Everyone was working hard and climbing with all their strength. Even if they couldn’t be amongst the top 30 disciples, they didn’t want to disgrace themselves either. Especially now that every single disciple from the four big sects were here, after all, no one wanted to be a dead weight. In a sect competition like this, losing to disciples of the same sect was nothing to feel ashamed about, but losing to someone who wasn’t from the same sect, now that was disgraceful.
“Haha, all of you from the Heavenly Sword Sect are scumbags, look at your pathetic faces! I’m sure you will all share last place!”
A disciple from the Black Sect turned around and told a disciple from the Heavenly Sword Sect behind him while laughing out loud in a mocking and ridiculing manner.
“Screw you! Everyone from the Black Sect is a scumbag! This time Li Wu Shuang will be the number one, Little Devil King definitely can’t beat him! Just wait and see!”
Unwilling to show any weakness, the disciple from Heavenly Sword Sect fought back.
“Get lost you Burning Sky Pavilion piece of shit, stop touching me!”
“Fuck you, get out of here stupid Black Sect! If you dare squeeze again, I will kill you!”
“I agree, that young man is pretty good! I kind of like him!”
The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were boiling in anger, whereas the disciples of the Black Sect were joyously laughing and finding it satisfying. The enemy of your enemy could be a friend, the disciples of the Black Sect now found Jiang Chen really pleasing to their eyes.
At the moment, the Little Devil King and the others had just passed the 70th step. At this point, even they were sweating all over. Every step further required great effort and time. The pressure from the four Heavenly Core geniuses was making them tremble.
It was true that their potential and talent were not any less than those four on the top. There was still a possibility of catching up one day, maybe even surpassing them, but their current cultivation was still weaker.
Tap~
The Little Devil King and Li Wu Shuang climbed up another step at the same time, but currently, Yi Qing Zi and Ling Ao were both slower. The difference was now clear.
Swoosh swoosh……
Right at this moment, the four of them felt wind blowing from their backs. They couldn’t help but turn around to take a look. What they saw was a young man dressed in white coming up towards them with speed as swift as wind. His speed was extremely great, and it looked as if he was immune to the pressure.
With the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen arrived in front of the Little Devil King Han Yan. He smiled as he cupped his fist respectfully towards Han Yan, “Brother Han, long time no see!”
“Elder brother you’re strong, may I know your name?”
Han Yan asked breathlessly. When he saw Jiang Chen being so calm, he felt inferior for the first time. Although he had long ago noticed Jiang Chen’s outstanding performance, he had never expected it would be this far beyond his imagination. When he was helping Jiang Chen that day, it was actually just in the heat of the moment, and he never asked for Jiang Chen’s name. Only now, when he saw Jiang Chen chasing up from behind, did he truly pay attention to Jiang Chen and ask for his name.
“Jiang Chen.”
Jiang Chen patted Han Yan’s shoulder and said, “Keep climbing brother Han, I’ll go up first.”
After saying these words, Jiang Chen turned around and continued jumping forwards. The pressure had no effect on him.
“How could this be possible?”
Li Wu Shuang’s eyes were wide open, and his face was one of disbelief.
“Who is this guy? His Yuan energy wave is only at the Early Mortal Core realm, how can he resist the pressure?”
“He is not from the four big sects, and he actually surpassed us!”
Even Yi Qing Zi and Ling Ao were startled.
“Hmph! Li Wu Shuang, there is always someone stronger! Put away that arrogant face, don’t make people hate you.”
Han Yan let out a cold snort as he rudely told Li Wu Shuang.
“Just a little Early Mortal Core warrior! He must have been cheating in order to get this far! If I could meet him on the fighting stage in the second round, I would easily be able to crush him with my toe!”
Li Wu Shuang once again covered his face with arrogance.
“Just keep climbing if you’re so great.”
Han Yan sneered. He turned around and continued forwards. Only then did he see that Jiang Chen had just casually jumped onto the 80th step. He felt depressed and almost wanted to knock his head into the stone step. He couldn’t help but say, “What a freak!”
“Look! That newcomer is number one now! He really surpassed the Little Devil King and Li Wu Shuang, and he is still climbing with great speed!”
“Heavens, is this for real?! Who is this young man, and how could he be so fast?!”
“Yet another dark horse has appeared! During the inner circle competition, there was a dark horse, and I never expected to see another one today! He isn’t even from any of the four big sects either!”
Many people were shouting in surprise. All of a sudden, Jiang Chen had become the center of attention. Who would have thought that another dark horse would appear in the outer circle competition? and this dark horse was even more badass than Nan Bei Chao. Nan Bei Chao was a genius disciple from the four big sects, but this young man in front of everyone had never been seen anywhere before this.
