The difference in strength between the Chen family and the Gongsun family was too great. Therefore, everyone had expected that the Chen family would be defeated so miserably.
However, Gongsun Guanyu didn't defeat Chen Honghai right away by relying on his superior strength. Instead, he waited until Chen Honghai was almost exhausted before he attacked. This was somewhat humiliating to Chen Honghai.
The Chen family was very dissatisfied with Gongsun Guanyu's behavior. However, they couldn't say anything about it. After all, the Chen family was not strong enough. If Gongsun Guanyu wanted to humiliate Chen Honghai in such a way, they couldn't do anything about it.
"The people from the Gongsun family are really hateful. He could have easily defeated Hong Hai, but he deliberately used such a method to defeat Hong Hai. How hateful!" an elder of the Chen family said.
"In the arena, the one with the bigger fist has the right to speak. Hong Hai was not strong enough, so he was humiliated and defeated. He can't blame anyone else!" Chen Tianxing sighed.
He was already used to this kind of thing, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, what could he say? Should he go to the Gongsun family to reason with them?
Wouldn't that be even more shameful? Otherwise, people would think that the Chen family couldn't afford to lose!
Fortunately, Hong Hai was only at the Early Stage of the Great Vehicle Realm. It didn't matter if he lost, it wouldn't affect the overall situation of the competition. Even if he lost the competition, he couldn't lose his bearing.
After the competition between the Chen family and the Gongsun family ended, the third round began.
The Grand Competition of the Nine Clans was in full swing on the four arenas. Because this round was an elimination round, half of the participants would be eliminated after the end of this round.
Naturally, some people were happy, while others were sad!
Of course, there were some dark horses in this round, such as Nangong Ke from the Nangong family. In addition, the most eye-catching one was Chen Dong from the Chen family.
He was only at the Middle Stage of the Great Vehicle Realm, while his opponent was a Late Stage of the Great Vehicle Realm from the Shangguan family.
Chen Dong became the second participant to successfully counterattack, which shocked everyone present. They didn't expect that the Chen family had such a hidden talent.
It must be known that this time, the number of participants of the Chen family was still the smallest, but they had two late dacheng stage masters, which was already a great advantage over those families who also had only five participants.
But now, a Great Ascension Stage expert had successfully counterattacked and defeated a Great Ascension Stage expert. In this way, the Chen Family was already equivalent to having three Great Ascension Stage experts.
If this was the case, then the peak strength of the Chen Family was equivalent to the Ji Family and the Situ Family, with three masters in the late dacheng stage.
However, some people would also think that if their Chen Family had a middle dacheng stage master who could be equivalent to the late dacheng stage master, then the strong families like the Ji Family and the Situ Family were more likely to have them.
Therefore, there was still a big gap between the Chen Clan and the Ji Clan and the Situ Clan.
However, no matter what, Chen Dong had defeated the Shangguan Family, and this was a big victory. Compared to Chen Honghai's failure, the weight of Chen Dong's victory was too heavy.
In fact, even the Chen Family didn't expect Chen Dong to have such strength. It was simply a surprise to the Chen Family's Patriarch, the Elders, and even everyone in the Chen Family.
However, Chen Tianxing and the others didn't intend to get to the bottom of the matter regarding the sudden emergence of their disciple's powerful strength. After all, everyone had their own secrets, including him.
Moreover, on the path of cultivation, everyone had their own path of cultivation. Some people were born with an endless path of cultivation. They would encounter many great opportunities, which could make them a dark horse.
If Chen Dong really became a dark horse today because of a great opportunity, this was his fate and also his luck. Even if others wanted to get involved, they wouldn't be able to.
However, for Chen Tianxing, he was still very happy that such a talent suddenly appeared in the Chen Family. With so many outstanding disciples, the Chen Family had a little more hope in this year's competition. How could he not be happy?
Of course, the Chen Family was happy, but the other families were really not happy. There were a few families who had the same number of participants as the Chen Family, which were all five. However, the Chen Family's strength was obviously stronger than theirs.
Even the Jiang Family, who also had two Late Stage Great Vehicle Realm participants, was defeated by the Chen Family. In addition, the Chen Family still had one person who didn't participate. Could it be that this year's Nine Family Grand Competition was going to fall on the Chen Family?
Of course, among these families, the most depressed and unhappy one was the Shangguan Family.
Previously, Jiang Yunshan of the Jiang Family was defeated by Nangong Ke of the Nangong Family with a Mid Stage Great Vehicle Realm cultivation, which was already very embarrassing. However, they didn't expect that their Late Stage Great Vehicle Realm cultivator would be defeated by a Mid Stage Great Vehicle Realm cultivator from the Chen Family. This was even more embarrassing than the Jiang Family.
If the Shangguan Family was defeated by the Ji Family, Situ Family, or Nangong Family, they would feel better. However, they were defeated by the Chen Family, which was weaker than the Shangguan Family. The Shangguan Family felt that they had lost all their face.
"Trash, my Shangguan Family is famous. A thousand years ago, we were even the third place in the grand competition. But now, we are defeated by a Mid Stage Great Vehicle Realm cultivator from the Chen Family. My Shangguan Family's reputation has been ruined by you!" Looking at his disciple, Shangguan Wenyang, who was defeated, the Shangguan Family Master, Shangguan Cheng, scolded angrily.
"This disciple is incompetent. Please punish me, Family Master!" Shangguan Wenyang also knew that he had really humiliated the family this time. He lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
Originally, Jiang Yunshan had already become the joke of the Nine Family Grand Competition. Before this, he was still gloating. He didn't expect that he would become the biggest joke in this competition.
He, who was a Late Stage Great Vehicle Realm cultivator, actually lost to a Mid Stage Great Vehicle Realm cultivator. Let alone the people of the Shangguan Family, even he couldn't accept it.
However, the truth was already set in stone. Even if he was extremely unwilling in his heart, he had no way to change this fact.
"Hmph! You still have the face to say that? After this competition, you will go to the Reflection Cliff and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to step out of the Reflection Cliff for 500 years! "Shangguan Cheng obviously couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He spoke to Shangguan Wenyang with dissatisfaction.
Ever since he became the Shangguan Family Master, the Shangguan Family Grand Competition had never had such a situation. Therefore, this time, Shangguan Wenyang had really brought great shame to the Shangguan Family. It would be strange if Shangguan Cheng wasn't angry.
"Big Brother, isn't 500 years too much? Wenyang didn't intentionally lose to the Chen Family. "A middle-aged man beside Shangguan Cheng spoke.
"Hmph! It is because you have been too lenient with him. Today, our Shangguan Family has suffered such humiliation. No one can intercede for this matter. Otherwise, all of you will be punished together! "Shangguan Cheng said angrily.
It turned out that the person who pleaded for leniency was none other than Shangguan Cheng's third brother, Shangguan Yuan. This Nangong Wenyang was his son.
