Everyone knew that cultivators in the same realm were not necessarily as powerful. Cultivation had the same realm, but the cultivators were different, so naturally, there would be different results.
Judging from Hou Yun's eager performance, this time Hou Yun's cultivation must have improved by a realm. Now he and Yang Chen's Body Refining Technique should be similar. Otherwise, he would not be in such a hurry to compete with Yang Chen. Since the realm was the same, the gap depended on the difference of the cultivators.
For the result of the competition, everyone in Chunyang Palace, except for Hou Yun, basically had an indifferent attitude. No matter who won or lost, weren't they all the people of Chunyang Palace? It was nothing more than Hou Yun's strength or Yang Chen's strength. They couldn't turn against each other. What did it matter who won or lost?
Hou Yun could support thousands of miles of seawater by relying on his physical strength alone, which was already stunning. What kind of achievements could Yang Chen have?
Hou Yun, who was in the array, had basically reached his limit. His body began to tremble and he could no longer support it. Elder Gao also saw this and stopped expanding the scope of the array at the right time, which allowed Hou Yun to catch his breath. In fact, he didn't need to work so hard. As long as he used his spiritual power at the right time, he could still be much more relaxed. He had persisted until now, not necessarily without the intention to explore his own limits.
When Hou Yun came out of the array, everyone's eyes were on Yang Chen. Among the people present, except for Zhou Xianying, who could barely be regarded as Yang Chen's woman for the time being, everyone else was from the same sect, but they were not as close as Gao Yue Gong Sunling and others. Even Zhou Xianying might not have absolute confidence in Yang Chen, even if Yang Chen had done many seemingly impossible things.
This had nothing to do with trust or not. The Mighty Ape King and human beings were two different species, and the starting line was different. Without relying on cultivation, just comparing physical strength, a Mighty Ape King could beat ten thousand humans. Even if Yang Chen lost, it was not necessarily a shameful thing.
Yang Chen strode into the formation. When he just walked in the first step, there was a trace of muscle trembling under his feet that almost no one noticed. This movement was so light and natural that even Elder Gao, who was in charge of operating the formation, did not notice it, let alone the other people who were standing around and watching.
However, one of the guys' pupils shrank when he saw Yang Chen's leg tremble slightly. This guy with unique eyesight was the one with the highest cultivation among them, Fatty Jing.
The reason why he paid special attention was that Fatty Jing discovered that the inconspicuous bracelet on Yang Chen's hand had always been there. Ever since he was shocked by the huge mouth in the Conch Underwater Mansion, Fatty Jing had been paying attention to the bracelet.
Every time Yang Chen made a move, there would be a trace of insignificant force exerted on his arm. It looked very natural, but what was Fatty Jing's cultivation level? He was an expert at the late stage of the Fairy Immortal stage and was close to the peak of the Fairy Immortal stage. When he was constantly paying attention to the bracelet, how could he not notice that trace of abnormality?
Fatty Jing could discover the terrifying power contained in that slight abnormality. After observing a few more times, he discovered that the reason why Yang Chen behaved naturally was because Yang Chen's other hand had been playing with a small crystal clear jade bottle.
Fatty Jing, who was paying attention, naturally saw a little more than others. The tiny adjustment that Yang Chen made when he stepped into the formation also made him conclude that whether it was the bracelet or the jade bottle, they might be very great things.
Among the people present, Fatty Jing was probably the only cultivator who didn't think that Yang Chen would lose. For some reason, watching Yang Chen enter the formation like this, Fatty Jing seemed to put down a lot of things in his heart.
Yang Chen stood where Hou Yun had just stood and then motioned to Elder Gao to start. Elder Gao didn't have the slightest psychological pressure. Anyway, even if Yang Chen lost miserably, it wouldn't shake his position in the hearts of Elder Gao and the other elders, so he boldly started the formation.
Everyone's eyes slowly moved along the scale on the long rod. Among them, the most nervous was Hou Yun. He originally thought that there would be a battle, but now it turned into this kind of literary competition, which made him unable to vent some of his anger. However, as long as he could suppress Yang Chen, it could also be regarded as a smoother thought, right?
One hundred miles, two hundred miles, three hundred miles … The scale on the long rod had slowly moved to nine hundred miles, which was only a hundred miles away from Hou Yun. Everyone's mood became more and more expectant, and they all wanted to see the real result.
Zhou Xianying was a little worried in her heart. She wasn't afraid that Yang Chen was not as good as Hou Yun in terms of strength, but she thought that she was Yang Chen's woman. Seeing Yang Chen lose in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
However, Zhou Xianying was also very clear that it seemed that there was only a gap of a hundred miles, but the gap of a hundred miles on the periphery was far from comparable to the hundred miles at the beginning. Anyone who had a certain level of attainment in mathematics and geometry was clear about this gap.
In the eyes of everyone who was indifferent or concerned, the scale on the long rod slowly moved to a place similar to Hou Yun's. It could be said that at this moment, Yang Chen and Hou Yun were already evenly matched.
However, Yang Chen was still different from Hou Yun. When he first reached this position, Hou Yun had already tried his best. His whole body was trembling, and he couldn't hold on any longer. However, Yang Chen was calm and composed, and it seemed that there was still not much change.
At this point, everyone basically had an idea in their hearts. Hou Yun lost, but Yang Chen still had strength to spare. After this result, everyone no longer cared about who won and who lost, but they were curious about how much seawater Yang Chen could withstand.
Hou Yun also had the same thought. He was now basically accepting this result calmly. After all, Hou Yun had just advanced to the next realm, and he didn't even have time to familiarize himself with it. Yang Chen had reached this realm as early as hundreds of years ago. It was reasonable for him to be a little stronger than Hou Yun. Hou Yun was not afraid of losing. Anyway, he had lost to Yang Chen more than once or twice. What he wanted to know now was how much worse he was compared to Yang Chen.
Under the control of Elder Gao, the scale on the long rod continued to move forward. Elder Gao was also afraid of hurting Yang Chen. This time, the scope of the control array was also very slow. It was almost pushed out one mile at a time.
When it was almost one thousand and one hundred miles, Yang Chen felt that it was enough. He took the initiative to signal to Elder Gao and asked him not to expand anymore.
From this result, Yang Chen was still a little stronger than Hou Yun, but the strength was limited.
