The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 1196 - Chapter 1196 Chapter 1193 On What Grounds_1

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1193: On What Grounds?_1 Chapter 1196: Chapter 1193: On What Grounds?_1 Yang Chen closed his eyes, showing no intention of responding. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to claim the first place. In fact, because of Hua Wu Great Emperor’s involvement, even if he wasn’t interested in being number one, he still had to find a way to get it for Hua Wu Great Emperor.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be worthy of his Junior Peak Master status.

But there was no need for him to rush. Although he had faced Su Yao once and won, no one could guarantee whether Su Yao’s strength had improved. This girl was probably preparing some hidden cards for their confrontation.

With her combative nature, if he agreed to her challenge now, it would surely coincide with her plan. Instead of doing so, why not wait and wear down her patience?

After all, he simply wanted to claim the first place without thinking too much about other things.

Seeing that Yang Chen had no intention of challenging her, Su Yao was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. She wasn’t interested in anyone else’s challenge, just Yang Chen’s.

But Yang Chen simply ignored her.

“Hmph!” Su Yao gritted her teeth in frustration but was unable to do anything about it.

This scene happened to be seen by Zhao Chen.

However, Zhao Chen was quite far from Yang Chen’s location, so he could only see the surface, not the underlying situation. In his eyes, the fact that Yang Chen was sitting on the ring without anyone challenging him or challenging others was already very suspicious.

He had worked so hard in Changlin Peak for so long, achieving such outstanding results, yet he hadn’t been chosen as the Junior Peak Master. The appearance of Yang Chen had snatched away this position, and he couldn’t accept it willingly.

He had always wanted to know how strong Yang Chen really was and whether he deserved to be Junior Peak Master. The more he observed, the more he felt that Yang Chen’s position had some inside story.

Yang Chen had only reached the peak of the Earth Martial Realm. It should be noted that everyone in the top 20 had reached the Half-step Heavenly Martial Realm. What qualifications did Yang Chen have to rank second?

“There must be an inside story!” Zhao Chen clenched his fists, feeling increasingly unbalanced in his heart.

At his 13th position, no one dared to challenge him temporarily, but he didn’t dare to challenge others either.

The closer he got to this ranking, the more stable his results became, and it was almost impossible for him to rise further. However, his ambition was not limited to just ranking 13th.

Thinking about the treatment of higher-ranking positions and the fact that he had no way to advance, Zhao Chen set his sights on Yang Chen.

“Hmph, this surnamed Yang must have some inside story to be able to sit in the second place. I’ll expose him, even if I can’t enter the top ten. At least I won’t let anyone else snatch the first place in Changlin Peak,” Zhao Chen muttered to himself.

With that in mind, Zhao Chen left and rose into the high altitude, saying, “Referee, I have something to say!”

The judges at the Heavenly Martial Realm were surprised when Zhao Chen addressed them directly, “Zhao Chen, what do you want to say?”

Since Zhao Chen’s ranking was quite high, the judges couldn’t take his words lightly and didn’t know what he intended.

Zhao Chen slowly said, “I think the competition is unfair!”

“Unfair?”

“Where is it unfair!” The whole scene suddenly exploded into discussions, as Zhao Chen actually questioned the fairness of the competition.

The judges didn’t expect Zhao Chen to say something so shocking and asked, “Zhao Chen, are you questioning the competition rules?”

“No, what I’m questioning is not the rules of the competition, but the people in the competition,” Zhao Chen replied coldly.

The judges looked at each other, puzzled, and asked, “Zhao Chen, what do you mean by that?”

Several Great Emperors were also curious about Zhao Chen’s intentions, but they couldn’t step in to resolve the matter because of their status. Some things could be handled by the referees and servants.

Zhao Chen slowly said, “My apologies to the judges for any offense, but I hope you can understand that everything I say is for the sake of fairness. We all stand here on this ring today because of our past achievements, right?”

After he spoke, the referees and disciples nodded in agreement. Zhao Chen was right.

Seeing that everyone thought so, Zhao Chen smirked and continued, “But it seems that some people are not like this. They join the Northern Territory Sect and Changlin Peak and immediately occupy a high position. Is this fair?”

As soon as he finished speaking, even a fool would know who Zhao Chen was referring to.

Hua Wu Great Emperor was about to get angry. He clenched his fists and snarled, “Scoundrel!”

He wanted to explode immediately since Yang Chen was his choice, but when had it ever been the turn of this nobody to interfere?

However, Hua Wu Great Emperor couldn’t throw a tantrum in this situation and was stopped by He Tan Emperor and Jin Shi Great Emperor.

“Brother Hua Wu, don’t worry, let those below handle it,” He Tan said slowly. “If worst comes to worst, Yang Chen’s strength should be able to handle some setbacks, right?”

Hua Wu Great Emperor snorted angrily. Did He Tan and Jin Shi really stop him out of kindness? The ownership of the first place in the Four Peak Competition depended on Yang Chen’s presence. If they could, He Tan and Jin Shi wouldn’t mind causing some trouble for Yang Chen.

It’s just that they couldn’t create the trouble themselves, but who would have thought that one of the disciples within their own ranks would start infighting.

“Damn it!” Hua Wu Great Emperor’s face was full of anger.

It must be said that Zhao Chen’s words were well-prepared, so they hit the nail on the head, leaving the referees unable to refute.

“Judges, fellow disciples, I think I’m right, aren’t I? Why should some people be allowed to sit in such high positions for no reason? The ranking of the Four Peaks is a sacred ranking that we all need to maintain. It’s the ranking that we disciples rely on to stand out. But now, someone has tainted the ranking. Can we agree to that?” Zhao Chen declared righteously.

His words ignited everyone’s emotions and caused quite a stir.

“Yeah, why should some people be allowed to be unconditionally within the top 100 of the Four Peaks?”

“Exactly, if the Four Peaks Rankings can be tampered with at will, then what’s the point? Where is the meaning of our efforts?”

Many confused disciples began to shout along with Zhao Chen’s words.

Even if Yang Chen was foolish, he knew that Zhao Chen was insinuating him. He had guessed earlier that Zhao Chen intended to target him, just not that he would draw his sword so quickly.

Since Zhao Chen wanted to cause trouble, Yang Chen saw no reason not to face it.
