Chapter 617: Chapter 614: How to Choose!_1
When it came to the number one genius of the Thirty-six Eastern Counties, the young people of the high-ranking members all showed expressions of admiration and longing on their faces. To be the number one genius of the Thirty-six Eastern Counties was an unsurpassable honor. To obtain this glory meant that the entire Thirty-six Eastern Counties recognized you.
Of course, obtaining this qualification was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, for how vast were the thirty-six eastern counties?
The entire Imperial Domain was astonishingly huge, divided into hundreds of counties. The Imperial Dynasty directly governed the Central Capital Hundred Counties, and below that were the Four Great Regions of East, West, South, and North. The Thirty-six Eastern Counties were the eastern region among these four major regions!
With such a vast area, how many geniuses were gathered here? How could it be easy to be the number one genius in such a vast region?
Like Qingyin, she was already an incredibly outstanding genius, but she was still only qualified. To be the number one, she had to prove herself with her strength.
“This time, the Black Dragon Sect’s Martial Battle Feast may seem simple, but whoever wins the championship will almost have earned the title of the Eastern Thirty-six Counties’ Number One Genius!”
“It’s not just about the name, but earning the title is truly deserved. At the Black Dragon Sect’s invitation feast, all the powerful forces from the thirty-six eastern counties have come. With such a gathering of geniuses, it’s not surprising that the elite who wins the championship will be the number one genius of the Eastern Thirty-six Counties, right?”
“In the past, the number one genius of the Eastern Thirty-six Counties was always from the Black Dragon Sect, and people have become numb to it over the years.”
“I wonder how it will be this time.”
“Now, it depends on who, Qingyin or Yang Chen, will fight the genius of the Black Dragon Sect. When these two top geniuses clash, who knows what sparks they will create!”
Just like Yang Chen, when he won the first place in Group D by defeating Cai Wenjie, Qingyin also triumphed and won the first place in Group C. At the same time, Luo Yunhu won Group A’s first place without dispute, while Zhao Minghai won Group B’s first place. Both of them were top geniuses of the Black Dragon Sect.
Simply put, in the end, Yang Chen and Qingyin will face each other, and ultimately Luo Yunhu and Zhao Minghai will face each other!
Then, the winner will confront the winner, and whoever wins will be the champion.
A very cruel competition.
At this moment, Lady Silver Bell looked at Yang Chen and Qingyin below the stage with a cold expression, sneering in her heart: “Yang Chen, and Qingyin… Let’s first allow the two of you outer sect geniuses to compete for life and death. After your battle leaves both of you injured, what can you use to fight our Black Dragon Sect’s genius?”
Zhao Minghai and Luo Yunhu were both their internal members, and they had already discussed who would win. By then, they would just need to pretend to fight a bit, conceal their true intentions, and everything would be fine.
As for Yang Chen and Qingyin, they would certainly fight to the death, leaving both sides injured. By then, even if one of them won, they would still need a lot of time to recover. The Black Dragon Sect would not give them time to recuperate, and they would have to face Luo Yunhu in a sorry state. What could they use to contend with Luo Yunhu then?
With this in mind, Lady Silver Bell announced amiably on the surface: “The winner of Group A, Luo Yunhu, will face the winner of Group B, Zhao Minghai. The winner of Group C, Qingyin, will face the winner of Group D, Yang Chen!”
“Go Senior Sister Qingyin!”
“Senior Sister Qingyin!”
Most of the Green Lotus Sect’s disciples were women, so when Qingyin entered the ring, she naturally received many cheers and shouts from the women.
“Yang Chen is also pretty good, although Qingyin is our senior sister, but we can’t really cheer for her!”
“I also think Yang Chen is good. If I could marry him… oh, no, Senior Sister Qingyin belongs to the same sect as us. Let’s wait for Senior Sister Qingyin to win and then cheer for Yang Chen.”
“If Senior Sister Qingyin wins, how can you cheer for him?”
And so, amidst the discussions of the crowd, Yang Chen and Qingyin came to the ring.
In fact, everyone didn’t care much about the victory or defeat between Luo Yunhu and Zhao Minghai. Everyone was well aware that both of them belonged to the Black Dragon Sect and had already discussed who would win and who would lose. They wouldn’t put up a big fight. They would definitely let the more outstanding Black Dragon Sect’s number one genius, Luo Yunhu, win in the end.
Yang Chen and Qingyin, however, were different. The two of them would inevitably collide and cause a huge commotion, eventually leading to one of them winning terribly.
“Yang Chen and Qingyin are, after all, the strongest geniuses outside the Black Dragon Sect that have emerged throughout history.”
“No, they can defeat the geniuses of the Black Dragon Sect, especially Yang Chen. Didn’t he defeat Luo Yunhu on Desperate Island? Qingyin is not weak either, she can also compete with Luo Yunhu.”
“This battle between the two of them is truly exciting.”
Fu Longyue sneered nonstop on the high platform: “What do you think will be the outcome between Yang Chen and Qingyin?”
“Sect Leader, no matter who wins, it will be a great benefit for us. After all, they will both fight fiercely, and eventually, one side will win brutally.”
This was their original intention.
No matter how powerful Yang Chen was, it would take him time and effort to defeat Qingyin.
Indeed, it was like that.
At this moment, Yang Chen didn’t have much confidence in defeating Qingyin.
At this moment, with his hands on his back, he looked at Qingyin and exchanged glances.
Yang Chen smiled slightly: “Miss Qingyin!”
“Young Master Yang Chen, if you want to win, you can do it anytime.” Qingyin looked at Yang Chen with serious eyes, saying something that only the two of them could understand. At the same time, she was waiting for Yang Chen’s answer, curious about how he would respond.
Yang Chen knew what Qingyin meant.
Qingyin wanted to tell him that he could completely control her and make her admit defeat!
He had the ability to do so.
But he didn’t do that.
Yang Chen looked up, smiled slightly, and then transmitted his voice: “Miss Qingyin, perhaps my greatest weakness is that I, Yang Chen, always have been and still am. I can use the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate to make you admit defeat in the blink of an eye. However, forcibly controlling someone with external objects and not letting them choose with their hearts, for me, is really meaningless!”
It was not the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate that allowed him, a weakling without cultivation, to have many geniuses and powerful people submit to him with only his Alchemy skills; it was the communication of hearts. No object like the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate could ever make one’s heart submit.
So, at that time, there were always some who were loyal to him, but he met a scoundrel.
However, this does not deny that there was something wrong with his approach, but that he met the wrong person.
At this time, Yang Chen still transmitted his thoughts: “So, Miss Qingyin, how you choose, whether it’s to fight me or make another choice, is completely up to you. I won’t use the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate to pressure you!”
