Many people couldn't stand what he said. Putting aside his cultivation level, just his words alone were enough to incur the hatred of everyone. Jiang Chen's words had successfully attracted everyone's attention, and he became the center of attention before the start of the competition.
Numerous gazes landed onto Jiang Chen. Because of Zhang Yang's cowardly nature, and his mediocre cultivation level, not everyone in the outer circle knew who he was. Many people didn't even know who he was, and they only heard of his name yesterday.
"This guy is Zhang Yang? What gives him the right to be so arrogant? "
"That's right! Look at his stupid face, I wonder what kind of dog shit luck he had to break through to the next level, and now he's trying to get first place in the outer circle? Who does he think he is? Does he really think he is invincible in the outer circle just because he defeated Luo Song? How ignorant! "
"Lower your voice, this guy is a ruthless man. Since he really dares to fight for first place in the outer circle, I'm sure he will have a miserable ending today. None of those in the top ten are easy to deal with, and if this Zhang Yang offends them, he will definitely die."
… …
Discussions could be heard everywhere. However, most people dared not speak out loud. After all, Zhang Yang had crippled Luo Song in a ruthless way, and their cultivation levels were not as high as Luo Song's. If they offended this ruthless man by speaking out loud, he might just cripple them in a fit of anger.
Jiang Chen ignored the crowd and continued walking forward. When he arrived in front of the crowd, he said in a domineering manner, "Move aside, make way for your grandpa!"
Damn it, this guy was too arrogant!
Many people had the urge to rush forward and beat this arrogant guy up, but they managed to hold themselves back in the end. All the Late Divine Core geniuses stared at Jiang Chen with hostility in their eyes, but they didn't attack him. Firstly, they wanted to preserve their strength for the upcoming competition, and secondly, they couldn't help but feel fearful of a man who could cripple Luo Song with a single kick.
As for the top ten, they were usually aloof, so they were the last ones to show up. Wang Yuan and Tian Liang, who were at the top of the list, were the focus of the competition. They would only show up at the last moment.
About ten minutes later, three old men with powerful auras arrived from the sky and landed on a fighting platform at the center of the square. These three old men were all Early Combat Soul warriors, and they were the Sect Elders who were in charge of the Outer Circle. Their statuses were extraordinary.
After the appearance of the three elders, the scene instantly quieted down. Everyone knew that the appearance of the three elders indicated that the Grand Competition was about to begin.
Right after the appearance of the three elders, many powerful figures came from all directions and quickly landed in front of the crowd. All of them were young men, and their faces were filled with indescribable arrogance. Although they couldn't compare with the Combat Soul inner circle disciples and Combat King core disciples, they were still the best amongst the outer circle disciples.
All of these men were ranked on the Outer Circle Ranking, and they all had extraordinary talents. Furthermore, they were the most popular figures in the Outer Circle Competition. Their appearance immediately attracted many heated gazes from the crowd. At the same time, many people threw their gazes onto Jiang Chen. They couldn't find anything about this Jiang Chen that could compete with those ranked on the Outer Circle Ranking.
"Before the competition begins, I want to tell all of you that this year's competition will be the same as the previous years. The champion will be able to meet with the Palace Master personally, and he will personally enlighten them. This is a rare opportunity that even I, the Sect Elder, don't have the right to do so."
The Sect Elder who stood in the middle said with a loud voice. When the reward for the champion was mentioned, the eyes of all the geniuses ranked on the Outer Circle Ranking immediately lit up. It was a great honor to be enlightened by a Combat Emperor who stood at the top.
"As long as you are an outer circle disciple of the Shura Temple, regardless of your cultivation base, you are qualified to participate in the competition. What I want to say now is that this fighting stage is not a deathmatch, and no one is allowed to kill your opponent. Unless all of you agree to fight to the death, you are free to change the rules of the deathmatch. Alright, Elder Yuan, please announce the rules of the competition."
The Sect Elder said with a loud voice once again.
Elder Yuan who stood next to him took a step forward. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by an extremely discordant voice.
"I think the rules of the competition can be changed."
The person who spoke was none other than Jiang Chen. He didn't have the time to listen to the long-winded rules, and he also didn't have the time to participate in the Outer Circle Ranking Competition. He wanted to proceed according to his own plan.
Swoosh!
With a leap, Jiang Chen landed on one of the fighting stages. He looked around and said in a loud voice, "The champion of this year's competition belongs to me, Jiang Chen. Whoever is not convinced can come up and challenge me. This is the rule of this year's competition. If no one dares to come up and challenge me, the champion will belong to me, and you can compete for the other rankings according to the remaining rules."
His words immediately set off a storm in the square. Many people cried out in shock. Even the faces of the three elders were filled with anger. As the elders and stewards of the outer circle, Jiang Chen's actions were undoubtedly not giving them any face. This was a provocation to their status and identity. "That's right!" Jiang Chen's face was filled with anger. His words had caused a huge uproar in the square.
"Damn it, this bastard is too arrogant. He has no respect for anyone. There are so many outer circle geniuses, but none of them are worthy of his attention."
"This is too arrogant. This guy must be crazy. He actually wants to challenge all the outer circle geniuses by himself. He's simply courting death."
"Let me, your father, teach him a lesson and smash his arrogant face."
… …
They couldn't take it anymore. Everyone couldn't take it anymore, especially those geniuses who were ranked on the ranking list. They threw their glances at the arrogant Jiang Chen on the fighting stage, and they realized that they didn't know this guy at all. This guy, who was not famous at all, actually wanted to challenge all the outer circle geniuses? No, he wanted the others to challenge him! This was ridiculous!
"Who is this bastard?"
Sect Elder Yuan asked with a cold voice.
"His name is Zhang Yang, he's just a nobody. It seems like he had some fortuitous encounter yesterday, which allowed him to break through to the Late Divine Core realm. After that, he arrogantly declared that he's going to get first place in the outer circle, and he even crippled Luo Song yesterday. He's really arrogant."
Another Sect Elder said. What happened yesterday had caused a huge commotion in the outer circle, and even he knew about it.
"Hmph! The outer circle competition has been held for so many years, and there has never been a disciple who disrupted the order of the outer circle competition! Such an arrogant disciple, no matter how much of a genius he is, the Shura Temple doesn't want him! "
Sect Elder Yuan, Leng Leng, said. After that, he turned to Jiang Chen and shouted, "Zhang Yang, the rules of the outer circle competition can't be changed! You've disrupted the order of the competition, I'm going to deprive you of your qualification to participate in the competition, and you'll have to accept my punishment! Get down from the fighting stage right now!"
"As long as you're a disciple of the Shura Temple, you have the qualification to participate in the outer circle competition! What right do you have to deprive me of my qualification? I'm doing this to save time during the competition, since I'm going to get first place in the outer circle competition, you can ask everyone else to admit defeat. With that, I'll be the true first place, and you can continue the competition according to the boring rules."
Jiang Chen said with a loud voice. He didn't put Sect Elder Yuan in his eyes at all. He was going to act arrogantly to the end. The crowd knew this guy was arrogant since yesterday, but they never thought he would be this arrogant. He didn't even put a Combat Soul Sect Elder in his eyes.
"Presumptuous!"
Sect Elder Yuan was furious. He immediately shouted out, "How arrogant! How dare you show no respect to your elders! I'll cripple you with my own hands today as punishment!"
"Hold on!"
Right when Sect Elder Yuan was about to strike, a voice suddenly sounded out. It came from a genius disciple, his name was Wang Yuan, the number one disciple in the outer circle competition.
"Since this guy wants to get first place in the outer circle competition, I'll give him a chance. I'd like to see who dares compete with me, Wang Yuan, for first place today!"
After saying that, Wang Yuan leapt onto the fighting stage and stood opposite of Jiang Chen.
"Senior disciple Wang Yuan, kill him! Avenge Luo Song!"
"Don't kill him, just destroy his Qi Sea and make him wish he was dead!"
"What's the point of keeping such an arrogant man alive?"
… …
Jiang Chen's action had undoubtedly aroused the public's anger, but the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile. He didn't mind it at all. This was exactly what he wanted, including the fight between the number one genius and himself. It was also what he wanted.
"Your name is Zhang Yang? Did you hear that? They all want me to kill you, it looks like you've made everyone hate you. "
Wang Yuan said.
"Is that so? You want to kill me? Let's have a life and death battle then! "
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
Wang Yuan was startled upon hearing this. He never thought that not only was this crazy man not afraid of him, he even said he wanted to have a life and death battle with him. This was a typical case of someone who didn't know what was good for him.
"What? You don't dare? "
Jiang Chen mocked.
"What a joke, why would I not dare? Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being rude!"
Wang Yuan let out a loud laugh. After that, he turned to the three Sect Elders and said with a loud voice, "Sect Elders, did you hear that? This arrogant guy wants to have a life and death battle with me!"
"Fine, I'll allow it. A life and death battle!"
Elder Yuan immediately agreed. In his mind, with Wang Yuan's strength that was half a step into the Combat Soul realm, even an Early Combat Soul Elder like him wouldn't be Wang Yuan's match. Therefore, killing this arrogant Zhang Yang would be a piece of cake for him.
Too bad, right after Sect Elder Yuan finished speaking, Jiang Chen had already moved. A bright longsword appeared in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Wang Yuan.
