Jianchen looked at Kwon Youcai with some surprise. He had never thought that Kwon Youcai, whose skin was even thicker than a pig's, would actually possess the strength to challenge the top ten experts.
For the first time, Jianchen's gaze towards Kwon Youcai changed slightly. He could not help but believe Kwon Youcai's words to Lin Bai, but that was it.
Noticing Jianchen's gaze, Kwon Youcai immediately revealed a smile that he believed to be enchanting. He giggled at Jianchen, "What do you think, brother Yang Yutian? Do you believe me now? I, Kwon Youcai, am not as weak as you make me out to be. To be able to interact with my esteemed Class 6 Radiant Saint Master Kwon Youcai, not only did you not lose out, you even benefited greatly. Don't you think you should seriously consider this matter?"
Jianchen gently shook his head with a smile. He did not say anything as he thought, "Kwon Youcai really can't forget about the three Radiant Saint Techniques."
"Three months ago, Old Man heard that brother Yang Yutian's talent was unprecedented, that you were a prodigy. Not only have you become a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master at the age of twenty-four, your talent in the Radiant Saint Techniques is close to that of a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master. You're getting closer and closer to breaking through to the Class 7 Radiant Saint Master. In a month's time, the elimination round will be held. I wonder how confident brother Yang Yutian is in making the top ten." He was the person in charge of the Marquis' estate, the Marquis. He was also a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master.
The people from the other clans all looked at Jianchen. Clearly, they were very interested in this matter.
Kwon Youcai immediately became surprised when he heard the Marquis' words. He stared at Jianchen, clearly stunned by Jianchen's age and talent. However, he soon recovered and thought, "No wonder Yang Yutian was able to break through the seals of the three Radiant Saint Techniques. His talent in the Radiant Saint Techniques is close to that of a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master. I wonder how his strength is right now and how much power he can unleash from the Radiant Saint Techniques."
Jianchen smiled, "You praise me too much, Marquis. I was just a little lucky, which is why I was able to become a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master so quickly. However, I am not completely confident that I can make it to the top ten in the elimination round next month, but I will definitely do my best."
"I, Cheng Jian, believe that brother Yang Yutian will definitely make it to the top ten. After all, Yang Yutian's talent in the Radiant Saint Techniques is close to that of a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master, far surpassing us. I believe it won't be difficult for brother Yang Yutian to make it to the top ten. Come, let me congratulate brother Yang Yutian on behalf of the Cheng family in advance." The middle-aged man raised his cup and toasted to Jianchen.
After drinking, Cheng Jian continued, "Brother Yang Yutian, I have a suggestion. Why don't we work together in the elimination round next month? That way, our chances of making it to the top ten will increase drastically. What do you think, brother Yang Yutian?"
"Brother Yang Yutian, Cheng Jian's suggestion is not bad. Once we work together, our chances of making it to the top ten will increase drastically," an old man immediately chimed in as soon as Cheng Jian finished speaking.
The Marquis smiled as well, "In the past, our eight great clans basically worked together when we participated in the competition. Yang Yutian, why don't you come with us this time? That way, your chances of survival will be much greater."
Then, the other clans all invited Jianchen to join their camp. They all saw Jianchen's talent and future achievements and knew that Jianchen's future achievements would definitely be above theirs.
Jianchen didn't accept the eight great clans' invitation. He hesitated for a moment as the president's words appeared in his mind. "The Holy Emperor's Kingdom isn't peaceful right now. Try not to get too close to the forces related to the three great clans."
Thinking of this, Jianchen made a decision. He said apologetically to the others, "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I have other plans for the competition in a month. I won't be able to join you."
Jianchen's words immediately made the expressions of the people at the table change slightly. Even the lively atmosphere froze in an instant. At this moment, the deck of the boat became strangely quiet. Even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
After a while, the heavy atmosphere was finally broken, "Brother Yang Yutian, you have to think carefully. It's very dangerous to act alone. It's very difficult to make it to the end and make it to the top ten." The one who spoke was an old man from the Fire God clan.
Jianchen refused without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness, but I've made up my mind. You don't have to say anything more."
At the table, the faces of the people at the table became serious. A few of their eyes flashed with an undetectable coldness.
At this moment, the White Tiger that was napping on Jianchen's shoulder suddenly opened its eyes. A pair of bright eyes stared at the surface of the lake.
Suddenly, the calm surface of the lake was broken. Thirty black-clothed figures leapt out of the water. Their bodies flickered with the light of various elements as they charged toward the people at the table. Jianchen, Kwon Youcai, and the people of the eight great clans were not spared. They all became the targets of these people.
"Protect the Marquis!"
"Protect the young master!"
… …
On the boat, the guards of the eight great clans immediately ran to the deck. They protected their masters as they retreated quickly. At the same time, they engaged in an intense battle with the black-clothed people who had charged up.
"Fuck, over thirty Heaven Saint Masters. What a big move!" Kwon Youcai cried out. A white cloud appeared below his feet and disappeared from the deck in the blink of an eye. He ran even faster than a rabbit.
Over twenty of the thirty Heaven Saint Masters charged toward the eight great clans. The remaining ten or so all charged toward Jianchen. The Heaven Saint Masters of the eight great clans protected their masters tightly. They blocked the attacks of the black-clothed people as they retreated from the deck.
The people of the eight great clans were all stern. They had brought quite a few Earth Saint Masters with them, but there were only a dozen or so Heaven Saint Masters. There was a huge difference in numbers between them and the black-clothed people. Not long after the two sides clashed, the people of the eight great clans were slowly forced back into the cabin by the black-clothed people. A few of the guards had already been injured by the attacks of the black-clothed people, becoming covered in blood.
Suddenly, a dazzling light illuminated the pitch-black night sky, dispersing quite a bit of the darkness. The Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters of the eight great clans all took action as well. They used Radiant Artes one after another, attacking the black-clothed people.
Right now, the people of the eight great clans had already been forced to the entrance of the cabin by the black-clothed people. Only Jianchen remained calmly seated at the table. He seemed unfazed. Around him, over a dozen black-clothed people had already locked onto him, approaching him with lightning speed.
A powerful ripple of energy appeared from behind. Three black-clothed people approached Jianchen first. Their Saint Weapons flickered with a unique elemental light as they shot toward Jianchen's back with vast amounts of Saint Force.
Jianchen sneered. He tilted his head back and downed all the wine in his cup. Without even glancing behind him, he softly chanted, "Radiant Shield!"
The Radiant Saint Force in the surroundings gathered toward Jianchen at an unbelievable speed. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a meter-wide, silver-white shield that blocked Jianchen's back.
Although the Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters of the eight great clans fought against the black-clothed people, their gazes would always inadvertently sweep past Jianchen. When they saw how Jianchen had condensed a Radiant Shield in such a short amount of time, they were all surprised. This was because Jianchen condensed the Radiant Shield so quickly that they could not match up to him even if they used their full strength. Moreover, from how composed Jianchen was, it did not seem like he had used his full strength.
"This Yang Yutian really does have the potential to rival a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master when it comes to cultivating Radiant Artes. Just the speed at which he condenses the Radiant Shield is incomparable to ours." The Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters of the eight great clans all thought to themselves.
At this moment, the Saint Weapons of the three Heaven Saint Masters struck the Radiant Shield behind Jianchen with powerful ripples of energy. The Radiant Shield that was completely condensed from Radiant Saint Force was like an extremely tough piece of metal. It actually produced a loud clang, causing people's eardrums to ache slightly.
Although the Radiant Shield had blocked the combined attack of the three Heaven Saint Masters, a spiderweb of cracks had appeared on it. Afterward, Jianchen gently tapped the Radiant Shield with his finger. The Radiant Shield shattered loudly, turning into countless tiny fragments that shot toward the three Heaven Saint Masters like lightning.
The expressions of the three Heaven Saint Masters changed slightly. Surging Saint Force immediately surged out of their bodies, forming a barrier around them to block the incoming fragments.
"So the Radiant Shield can be used like this. I've really learned something today. This little brother Yang Yutian really is impressive. He actually came up with an attack like this," Kwon Youcai poked his head out of the cabin and stared at Jianchen, clicking his tongue in wonder.
"But this little brother Yang Yutian is facing over a dozen Heaven Saint Masters by himself. I wonder if he can hold on. Should we go and help him?" Kwon Youcai pondered for a while before replying, "Forget it. Although I, Kwon Youcai, have some strength, I'm powerless against so many Heaven Saint Masters. I can see that little brother Yang Yutian is filled with confidence. Let's just watch first. I can also see little brother Yang Yutian's strength while I'm at it."
"Radiant Sword!" Jianchen did not stop at all. Just as the Radiant Shield shattered and shot toward the three Heaven Saint Masters, a huge sword over two meters long immediately condensed in front of him. With a wave of his hand, the huge sword turned into a streak of white light as it shot toward another black-clothed person.
The black-clothed person did not take the Radiant Sword seriously at all. In his eyes, Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters may possess a certain amount of offensive power, but they were still not enough to threaten him, let alone a young man who was only in his twenties.
However, when the Radiant Sword collided with the black-clothed person's Saint Weapon, a loud boom immediately rang out. The black-clothed person's face drastically changed and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His body that was still in the air was sent flying by the Radiant Sword.
Seeing how Jianchen had sent a Heaven Saint Master flying with a single Radiant Sword, the other black-clothed people who had surrounded Jianchen were all shocked. They all stared at Jianchen in disbelief.
"Impossible, when did the Sacred Light Sword become so powerful?" One of the black-clothed men couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
