Wang Zhan and the other disciple were also trembling with fear. Jiang Chen's slap had caused them to feel a burning pain on their faces. The three of them looked at Zhang Yang, and they felt as if he had suddenly become a different person. He was not the Zhang Yang they knew.
Jiang Chen turned around and walked up the mountain without looking back. Soon after, he disappeared from their sight. Following the directions he asked Zhang Yang, Jiang Chen soon found the courtyard where Zhang Yang lived. There were a total of six rooms in the courtyard, and six disciples lived in each room. Outer circle disciples who hadn't broken through to the Combat Soul realm were not qualified to have their own courtyard.
It was evening, and some disciples who had gone out had returned. There were three men in the courtyard, and they were sitting around a stone table, talking excitedly. Obviously, they were talking about the outer circle competition tomorrow.
When the three men suddenly saw Zhang Yang return, one of them immediately asked, "Zhang Yang, isn't it your turn to guard the mountain today? Why are you back so early? "
Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at the disciple with a Leng Leng expression. With a rude tone, he said, "Daddy came back early because I'm in a bad mood, what does that have to do with you?"
The fuck! Did this guy eat gunpowder?!
The three of them were dumbfounded, and then they were infuriated. Although they lived in the same monastery, there was always open strife and veiled strife between them, each wanting to suppress the other. In truth, Zhang Yang's position in the monastery wasn't very high.
Even amongst the outer circle disciples of the Shura Temple, Zhang Yang was just an ordinary man. Plus, he was a coward, and he had been bullied many times.
"Fuck you, Zhang Yang, did you eat gunpowder? I'm talking to you nicely, but don't be so shameless! Who do you think you are?!"
The disciple who asked Jiang Chen just now was furious. He suddenly stood up from his seat and walked toward Jiang Chen, then he pointed his finger at Jiang Chen's nose and scolded him.
Slap!
Without saying anything, Jiang Chen raised his hand and slapped the disciple. The disciple didn't even have the chance to react, and was instantly sent flying away by Jiang Chen's slap. This was the reason why Jiang Chen showed mercy. If he hadn't, the slap would have killed the disciple.
Thump!
The disciple landed right on the stone table in the distance, smashing it into pieces. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What?"
The other two men immediately cried out in shock. They stared at Jiang Chen with their eyes wide open, and their faces were filled with shock. This Zhang Yang, who looked like an ordinary man, had actually hit someone today, and with just a single slap, he had sent a Mid Divine Core warrior flying away. If they didn't witness this with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.
Hmph!
Jiang Chen let out a cold snort and purposely unleashed his aura. Both men immediately sensed the aura of a Late Divine Core warrior, and their expressions changed dramatically. Right at this moment, the man who was sent flying stood up from the ground. He wanted to curse out loud, but when he sensed the change in Jiang Chen's aura, his face immediately turned pale, and he didn't dare say anything.
Strength reigned supreme. This was an unchanging principle, no matter where one went. The bigger the sect, the more intense the internal conflicts. If you were strong, you would be respected. On the contrary, if you were weak, you would be bullied.
"You … you've broken through to the Late Divine Core realm?"
One of the men asked with a trembling voice. He was extremely shocked. When Zhang Yang left the sect this morning, he was still a Mid Divine Core warrior, but after staying in the sect for just one day, he had broken through. This was unbelievable!
More importantly, even if Zhang Yang had broken through to the Late Divine Core realm, how could a man have such a huge change? This Zhang Yang in front of them was a stranger, it was as if he was a completely different person.
"Good that you know."
Jiang Chen glared at the three men, then he walked over to a chair beside the broken stone table. He crossed his legs, then he said to the three men, "You three, go spread the news for daddy right now, tell him that I, Jiang Chen, am going to fight for first place in the outer circle competition. Tell those men to surrender as soon as possible when they meet me on the fighting stage tomorrow. If not, I'll kill them."
What? Fight for first place in the outer circle competition?
The three men were startled once again. For a moment, they couldn't understand what Jiang Chen meant.
"What are you waiting for? Are you looking for a beating?"
Jiang Chen shouted out coldly. The three men shuddered, and without hesitation, they immediately turned around and left the courtyard.
Looking at the three men leaving, an eerie smile emerged on Jiang Chen's face. This was just the first step to saving Tan Lang, the next step was to find a way to enter the Freezing Hell Jail. This outer circle competition was his chance to enter the Freezing Hell Jail.
"Damn it, how did this Zhang Yang become so strong all of a sudden?"
"He's too arrogant, I really didn't expect him to be so arrogant. This bastard is usually a yes-man, and he's as timid as a mouse. Now that he has broken through to the Late Divine Core realm, he's really arrogant, and he wants to fight for first place in the outer circle competition? What a joke! A guy who has just broken through to the Divine Core realm wants to fight for first place in the outer circle competition? I'm afraid he won't even know how he died."
"He asked us to spread the news for him, so we'll just promise him. We'll spread the news everywhere. In the outer circle, even those top ten geniuses wouldn't dare say something like this. Those real geniuses will definitely teach him a lesson tomorrow."
… …
After the three men left, they couldn't help but gnash their teeth in anger. Today was really depressing for them, they had never been humiliated like this before, and it was all because of Zhang Yang.
In just an hour, the news about Zhang Yang breaking through to the Late Divine Core realm, and how he said he would fight for first place in tomorrow's outer circle competition had spread across the entire outer circle. The outer circle competition was a big event in the Shura Temple, and since it was just around the corner, many disciples who had gone out for training had returned, especially those real geniuses who were preparing to fight for first place in the outer circle competition.
Not only did the three men follow Jiang Chen's instructions, they even added details to the story, saying how arrogant Zhang Yang was, and how he didn't take those real geniuses seriously. They even said that whoever bumped into him tomorrow would have to kneel down and kowtow to him. If not, they wouldn't even have a chance to leave the stage.
What Zhang Yang said really infuriated all the real geniuses, especially those who were half a step into the Combat Soul realm. Those who had just broken through to the Late Divine Core realm couldn't compare with them, let alone a disciple like Zhang Yang who had always been a nobody. Those real geniuses didn't take him seriously at all.
"Damn it, who is this Zhang Yang? How come daddy has never heard of him? How dare he speak such arrogant words? Daddy is going to teach him a lesson right now, I'll make sure he doesn't even have the chance to participate in the outer circle competition! "
A hot-tempered outer circle disciple was the first one who couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to cause trouble for Zhang Yang on the spot.
"This Zhang Yang is insane, is there something wrong with his brain? Even if he's lucky enough to break through to the Late Divine Core realm, he can't say something like this! Isn't he just courting death?"
"I know this Zhang Yang, he's a very cowardly guy, and his talent can't be any more ordinary. It's already surprising that he could break through to the Late Divine Core realm, but why would he say something like this? He's courting death!"
"A guy who has just broken through to the Late Divine Core realm wants to fight for first place in the outer circle competition? Where are those top ten outer circle disciples who are half a step into the Combat Soul realm?"
"He's dead meat, no one will be able to save him this time."
… …
The entire outer circle was in an uproar. Tomorrow was the day of the outer circle competition, and today was supposed to be the calm before the storm. But now, there was no way to enjoy the calm before the storm, because a reckless guy was courting death.
The sky had turned dark, and the moonlight was shining down. Jiang Chen was sitting leisurely in his courtyard. No one knew what he was thinking about in his deep eyes. He was in the tiger's den, and he was still able to remain calm. Perhaps only Jiang Chen could do this in the entire world.
"Which one of you is Zhang Yang? Get your ass out here right now!"
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded out from outside. After that, many people rushed into the courtyard. Most of them were here to watch the show, and the main character was a fat man who stood in front of the crowd. The fat man had an oily face, and he weighed more than 150 kilograms. However, his cultivation level wasn't weak, at least amongst the outer circle disciples. He was a Late Divine Core warrior, and he had been at the Late Divine Core realm for quite some time. He had a solid foundation.
"You're that Zhang Yang who's tired of living?"
When the fat man saw Jiang Chen, he immediately asked.
"Who's the pig that wasn't tied up properly? How dare you come here and talk to your Grandpa Zhang Yang while standing? Do you believe I won't break your legs?"
Jiang Chen gazed at the fat man and said with an indifferent tone.
Hearing this, even the fat man was startled, and those who came here to watch the show were startled as well. Even the three guys who helped Jiang Chen spread the news were startled once again. They knew Jiang Chen was arrogant, but they didn't expect him to be this arrogant.
"Arrogant, he's too damn arrogant! I didn't believe him before, but now I do!"
"Is there something wrong with this guy's brain? Isn't he just breaking through to the Late Divine Core realm? Is there really a need to be so arrogant? "
"A typical arrogant man, he doesn't even put senior disciple Luo Song in his eyes! He actually called senior disciple Luo Song a pig! This is a taboo for senior disciple Luo Song!"
… …
Many people had an impulse to step forward and leave a huge footprint on Jiang Chen's face. They couldn't think of a reason for Zhang Yang to be so arrogant. Could it be that he had been cultivating alone for too long, and after suddenly breaking through to the Divine Core realm, he felt like he had finally seen the day where he could show off? But, what was the difference between this and courting death? As the saying went, if you don't court death, you won't die. In the minds of these outer circle disciples, Zhang Yang was a typical example of courting death.
"Bastard!"
Luo Song suddenly roared out furiously. His eyes were so wide open that they were bigger than a camel's bell. It looked like he really wanted to eat this guy in front of him. He, Luo Song, was a famous man in the outer circle, and anyone who saw him would respectfully call him senior disciple Luo. This bastard in front of him had only broken through to the Divine Core realm, but he didn't take him seriously, and even called him a pig.
