At the same time, at the edge of the East Sea, in a wooden house near a cliff. A young man with a cold expression stirred slightly and woke up from his meditation.
The moment he opened his eyes, a mist-like black Qi flashed through his eyes.
If someone saw his eyes, they would be horrified to find that there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood hidden in those eyes.
One could faintly see rows and rows of white skeletons extending to the boundless horizon. In contrast, the young man looked like a demon from the depths of hell. It was incomparably strange and terrifying.
The void changed. The moment the young man opened his eyes, the air in front of him suddenly became like a lake with a stone thrown into it. It rippled slightly and formed a small air vortex.
A faint light flashed and a nimble paper crane drilled out of the air vortex. After seeing the young man, it cried softly and exploded into a blazing fireball with a bang.
A faint light of spiritual energy burst out from the fireball and transformed into a figure in the void. The figure was wearing a white and gold silk robe, a white feathered crown, and a face as white as jade. On the silk robe, a five-clawed black dragon with fangs and claws seemed to be about to break out of the robe.
It was only a doppelganger, but the moment this person appeared, the entire space suddenly trembled. It was as if even the heavens and earth itself were afraid of this person's power. A vast and unpredictable fluctuation rippled out.
This young man in white robes had an aura that was not inferior to any emperor of a dynasty.
"That kid called Chu Chen has advanced to fourth place on the Dragon Ascension List."
The white-robed man frowned slightly and the entire space shrank. It was obvious that it was only his doppelganger, but it controlled the entire space.
"Dugu Yuan greets the Crown Prince of Great Liang."
Seeing the white-robed man appear, Dugu Yuan's expression changed. A deep look of fear flashed across his originally cold and arrogant face. His expression unconsciously became much more respectful.
This was because he knew that the Crown Prince of Great Liang, Huangfu Yin, was famous for being ruthless and would not allow anyone to go against his will.
It was said that his younger brother, Huangfu Yun, was ranked fifth in this year's Medicine Palace. He had great popularity and even gathered a group of pharmacists from the Great Liang Dynasty to form a force that could not be ignored during the Medicine Palace trial.
Originally, with his abilities, it was almost certain that he would become a disciple of the Medicine Palace this year. Furthermore, he would also lead the forces of the Great Liang Dynasty into the Medicine Palace.
In the end, who would have thought that a little-known Chu Chen would personally kick him out of the Medicine Palace for the trial? Huangfu Yin's plan to expand his influence in the Medicine Palace also came to a premature end.
Huangfu Yin naturally wouldn't let the matter go, but making a move against a new student was obviously going against his exceedingly noble status, so he'd always been enduring patiently while waiting for an opportunity.
This was because other than his identity as the Crown Prince of Great Liang, Huangfu Yin was also the disciple of the Three Elders of the Medicine Palace. He was Elder Bing's disciple. It was obviously unreasonable for him to use these two identities to make things difficult for a newbie.
However, Chu Chen now had a strong momentum in the Medicine Palace. The contribution points of the Medicine Palace and the points of the Small Immortal Realm were interchangeable. All the performance of the Medicine Palace's students in the Small Immortal Realm was also watched by the entire upper echelon of the Medicine Palace.
Chu Chen made a name for himself as Brother Fist and charged through the Dragon Ascension Rankings with irresistible force. After he entered the top five, Huangfu Yin could no longer hold back. He decided to strangle Chu Chen's future before he could fully rise.
Therefore, he found Elder Bing's nominal disciple, Dugu Yuan. Dugu Yuan was a nominal disciple that Elder Bing had taken in when he was traveling in the Western Wilderness.
Elder Bing was usually very cautious when taking in disciples. To be able to become his nominal disciple was also a great honor.
"Chu Chen's momentum is indeed very fast. What orders does Your Highness have?" Dugu Yuan asked in a deep voice.
"I want you to guard your position well. Don't give Chu Chen any chance!" Huangfu Yin said word by word.
"Dugu Yuan will do his best."
"Not just your best, but completely defeat him so that he won't be able to climb back up. Use this thing."
Huangfu Yin's phantom waved his hand, and a black talisman made of countless runes appeared in the air.
"This is?"
Dugu Yuan could clearly feel wave after wave of powerful energy overflowing from the black talisman. This black talisman had an indescribable mystery and power.
"This is a battle talisman that I specially condensed. After it enters your body, it will increase your strength by at least three times during battle."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your reward."
A smile appeared on Dugu Yuan's cold face. He knew that with the power of this battle talisman, his battle strength would increase for at least half a year.
After Dugu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged, closed his eyes, the black talisman spun a few rounds in the air. Then, it turned into a stream of light and flew into his glabella. His entire body immediately emitted a faint light, as if he had been activated.
When he opened his eyes again, there was a strange look in his eyes. His starry eyes were like lightning, and his strength had obviously increased by several levels.
"Your Highness, I will make him lose to the point where he will never be able to rise again."
"Very good, then that's that." Huangfu Yin nodded slightly. "After this is done, I'll put in a good word for you in front of Master. You still need one more material to cultivate Heaven and Earth Thousand Ghosts' Great Sorrow to the Perfection Stage … Master has the Netherworld Ghost Pearl. After this is done, you can go and get it!"
"Thank you, Your Highness," Dugu Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
The white-robed man nodded and waved his hand, disappearing into the air.
A smile floated onto Dugu Yuan's face as he watched the white-robed man's phantom disappear into the air.
"Your Highness, I'll give you a surprise this time. Not only will I teach this brat a lesson, but I'll also use the true meaning of your battle talisman to dissipate that brat Chu Chen's soul. There will only be one body left in this world," Dugu Yuan said word by word.
Chu Chen left the Lesser Celestial Realm again after defeating the fifth and fourth ranked cultivators in the Dragon Ascension Rankings.
He wasn't in a hurry to continue fighting because he needed time to digest the precious experience he'd gained from the Dragon Ascension Rankings battles.
Although Chu Chen already had the spiritual senses of a great grandmaster, he hadn't had much actual combat experience, especially when he fought against Han Xin, Feng Wuxing, and the others for the Dragon Ascension Rankings.
This gave Chu Chen a new understanding of battle, so he decided to calm down and spend five days digesting and absorbing the emotions he'd gained from the battles.
When Chu Chen returned to the Lesser Celestial Realm, the entire Lesser Celestial Realm was in an uproar when he gently tapped Dugu Yuan's name, who was third on the Dragon Ascension Rankings.
