The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 1181 - Chapter 1181 Chapter 1178 Rankings_1

Chapter 1181: Chapter 1178: Rankings_1 Chapter 1181: Chapter 1178: Rankings_1 Thinking of going to Taqing Peak, Yang Chen planned to find Wang Tong. Unexpectedly, Wang Tong came to his residence before he could find him.

This left Yang Chen puzzled and he laughed heartily, saying, “Elder Wang Tong, I was just about to find you, and yet you came to my residence. What brings you here in such a hurry?”

“Haha, Junior Peak Master, it’s quite a coincidence. It’s like this, the people from the Four Peaks Enforcement Hall reported to me yesterday that your identity issue has been resolved on their side.” Wang Tong said with a light smile.

“Oh? Identity? What identity?” Yang Chen suddenly became confused.

The Four Peaks Enforcement Hall is usually responsible for resolving issues that the Four Peaks cannot solve on their own. In a nutshell, it’s a special organization authorized by He Tan personally.

For example, when disputes arise between the Four Peaks, when one side insists they are right and the other side insists they are right as well, then the final decision would be made by the Four Peaks Enforcement Hall.

Wang Tong hesitated and then said, “Junior Sect Master, don’t you know? This must be related to the ranking of the Four Peaks. The Enforcement Hall has learned of your previous achievements and made an exception to grant you the second place in the ranking of the Four Peaks. This is your identity plate, which represents your strength!”

At this point, Wang Tong couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride swelling within him. Not mentioning anything else, Yang Chen’s ability to achieve the second place in the rankings of the Four Peaks also brought honor to Changlin Peak. In the past, Changlin Peak could not even get into the top twenty, let alone achieving second place.

The most important thing is that this second place was given as an exception. Although it might seem like a disgrace to be given a position through exception, it wasn’t easy to make the Four Peaks Enforcement Hall do so.

Having said that, Wang Tong pulled out the identity plate.

Upon closer inspection, Yang Chen noticed that the word “two” was carved on the plate, apparently representing the identity of the second-ranked martial artist among the Four Peaks.

After handing the plate to Yang Chen, Wang Tong continued with a puzzled expression, “Junior Peak Master, what achievements did you have before joining the Northern Territory Sect that could make the characters of the Four Peaks Enforcement Hall give you an unusual second place?”

It is well known that the members of the Four Peaks Enforcement Hall are rigid and hard to appease.

Yang Chen hadn’t expected the “Second Senior Brother” title mentioned by Lin Hao would actually fall upon him, leaving him both amused and dumbfounded.

“There’s really nothing particularly remarkable about it.” Yang Chen didn’t intend to give a detailed answer.

If Wang Tong knew that Yang Chen had defeated Su Yao, Wei Zheng, and Lin Hao all at once, he wouldn’t find his current second position so abrupt.

Seeing Yang Chen’s indifference, Wang Tong thought Yang Chen was unsatisfied and hastily said, “Junior Peak Master, you can take your time with the first-place matter. The rankings are mostly decided based on the performance during the Four Peaks Competition. This current second place is unavoidable. We can look forward to defeating Su Yao and taking the first place at the next Four Peaks Competition. It’s really annoying that this nasty woman Su Yao holds onto the first place all the time. It leaves us men of the Four Peaks so embarrassed.”

Nowadays, Wang Tong’s relationship with Yang Chen had become much closer, and he spoke more casually than before.

When Wang Tong thought of Changlin Peak potentially having a first-place finisher in the future, he couldn’t help but feel pride. At least, no one would dare to mock him for being from Changlin Peak.

Upon hearing Wang Tong’s words, Yang Chen’s face was filled with helplessness. He didn’t even want to compete for the first place; in fact, he clearly didn’t want to.

“Let’s talk about this matter after the Four Peaks Competition,” Yang Chen said slowly.

“Yes, it’s too early to talk about it now. By the way, Junior Peak Master, you said you wanted to find me for something. What is it?” Wang Tong asked curiously.

“Well, I’m going to Taqing Peak, and I wanted to let Elder Wang Tong know beforehand so that you won’t worry.” Yang Chen said politely.

Wang Tong wasn’t a fool. He knew that Yang Chen was merely informing him of his visit to Taqing Peak so that he could help make arrangements. However, the way Yang Chen put it was very considerate, making it difficult for Wang Tong to decline helping him.

Wang Tong readily agreed, “Junior Peak Master, your visit to Taqing Peak is a big deal. I’ll inform Taqing Peak right away and have them make arrangements for your reception. We must not let Changlin Peak lose its prestige.”

“In that case, I will have to trouble Elder Wang Tong.” Yang Chen bowed slightly.

“It’s a small matter, a small matter!”

Yang Chen’s visit to Taqing Peak was not a trivial matter, but it definitely wasn’t a major event either. After all, he couldn’t just go there empty-handed. Although he might not care about his own prestige, he couldn’t disregard the prestige of Changlin Peak either.

Before leaving, Wang Tong specifically informed Taqing Peak of his visit. Upon hearing Yang Chen’s imminent arrival, Taqing Peak naturally showed due respect and sent people to receive him.

The people who received him were three martial artists in the Early Heavenly Martial Realm, who held the position of Elders in Taqing Peak.

They had been waiting here long before Yang Chen arrived.

When Yang Chen arrived, the three Early Heavenly Martial Realm martial artists were also quite courteous, immediately greeting, “We welcome Junior Peak Master Yang.”

“You seniors are too polite.” Yang Chen repeatedly replied.

The Elders from Taqing Peak politely said, “We have heard that Junior Peak Master Yang is coming to our Taqing Peak, but our preparations were rushed. We hope Junior Peak Master Yang won’t mind!”

“Seniors shouldn’t be like this. I’m here to trouble Taqing Peak. How can I still expect Taqing Peak to do more for me? If so, I would be too ashamed.” Yang Chen said with a smile.

The several Elders, hearing Yang Chen mention his intention, wore bewildered expressions and couldn’t help but ask, “Why has Junior Peak Master Yang come to our Taqing Peak?”

“Ah? I want to borrow your Thundercloud Pool for a while to help me refine my Lightning Movement Technique and break through my own limits in using it,” Yang Chen said.

“So that’s it.” The several Elders didn’t know about Yang Chen possessing the Lightning Movement Technique, and although baffled, they wisely refrained from asking further questions.

With Yang Chen’s status, it was only natural for him to be granted access to the Thundercloud Pool for refining his divine power. And with Yang Chen’s current status, they dare not to make things difficult for him without orders from their superiors. They said, “Junior Peak Master Yang, please follow us. We will take you to the Thundercloud Pool now.”

“Thank you, seniors.” Yang Chen got excited thinking about the breakthrough of the Lightning Movement Technique.

He had been stuck at the Fifth Layer of the Lightning Movement Technique for a long time and hadn’t made any progress. He hoped the Thundercloud Pool could help him break the limit!

The journey through the vast Taqing Peak took quite some time. Along the way, Yang Chen encountered many disciples from Taqing Peak.

Taqing Peak was different from Yunhu Peak, which mostly had male disciples. The power balance between males and females at Taqing Peak once was almost even, but ever since Su Yao arrived, Taqing Peak had become more inclined towards females, which made male disciples even more cherished there.

Seeing Yang Chen accompanied by several Heavenly Martial Realm Elders, it soon attracted the curious attention of many disciples.
