Chapter 345: Chapter 339: Defying Heaven (3rd Update)

Su Chen steadied Wuo Yang. "It’s nothing, the concentration of Spiritual Energy on the Earth plane is low; you’ve done very well!"

Su Chen gave encouragement.

Even though, before this, Wuo Yang had looked down on him and had fled in the face of danger.

Even now, Su Chen did not consider Wuo Yang a friend.

But still, he went over to Wuo Yang’s side to offer encouragement.

Because.

They were both from the Earth plane!!!

That was enough.

Facing the ridicule and shame from millions in the Divine Human Field, Su Chen felt that any hatred or hostility could be temporarily set aside.

Both being Earthlings was sufficient.

"Thank you!" Wuo Yang trembled, looking at Su Chen incredulously, his eyes filled with guilt.

Despite what he had done to Su Chen before, Su Chen still...

In that moment, Wuo Yang suddenly found a glimmer of hope and a reason to live amidst endless despair and shame.

"Thank you!" Wuo Yang couldn’t help but say it again, his voice thick with tears.

Su Chen patted his shoulder, then suddenly looked up, his eyes shining brightly with a dazzling intensity, meeting the gazes of the millions who were mocking, laughing, and enjoying themselves.

Then, Su Chen said, "I, Su Chen, am also a person from the Earth plane!!!"

He just said that one sentence.

Nothing else.

For a moment, the Divine Human Field became silent.

Then.

"So what if you’re from the Earth plane, what’s so great about that?"

"Someone who didn’t know better might think you had taken first place, as if you had something to prove for the Earth!"

"Exactly, what are you putting on airs for? Do you even know you’re from that trash plane of Earth?"

"Hmph, just ranked sixth in the Renshen Manual, and you’ve lost your sense of direction?"

"I bet you’re just trash on the Divine Ladder too!"

......

A tidal wave of mockery and angry voices surged forth.

Even more exaggerated!

More shocking!

But Su Chen remained calm and composed as ever.

As if he hadn’t heard any of it.

Mo Qingwu looked towards Su Chen, and beneath her veil, her beautiful eyes were misty. She finally understood why she truly felt moved by Su Chen? It was because she admired Su Chen’s demeanor: regardless of how the world clamored, he remained tranquil, unfazed by insults, as steady as ever.

Su Chen’s arrogance, his dominance, his power, had always been shown through his actions.

"That is my Brother Chen!" In the crowd, Xiao Xiao was also full of admiration and joy, enchanted by Su Chen’s confident and unyielding character.

The key was that the confidence and defiance Brother Chen exhibited stemmed genuinely from within, without an ounce of pretense.

Mu Tingyun also turned to look at Su Chen, determining in her heart to make Su Chen join the Leiyun Sect.

Setting aside other considerations, just for Su Chen’s state of mind!!!

His future was bound to be immeasurable.

Time continued to pass.

On the Sacred Ladder, more and more people began to give up and turn back.

As for Xuu Qiong, he had already climbed past five hundred steps, enough to have his name inscribed on the Divine Human Stele.

Many people from the forces of the Divine Martial Continent were also keeping a close eye on Xuu Qiong, ready to snatch him away.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Finally.

Xuu Qiong stopped.

Five hundred and thirteen steps.

Among this batch, he was the only one who surpassed five hundred, and also the only one who surpassed four hundred; out of the remaining nineteen people, the best performance was only a little over three hundred and sixty steps.

Xuu Qiong walked back step by step with a smile on his face, but a pallor tinted his complexion, showing the great expenditure of energy on the Divine Ladder, and it was anything but easy.

After Xuu Qiong descended, the first batch of assessments had come to an end.

The presiding elder then announced, "Prepare for the second batch of assessments!"

Suddenly.

Another twenty individuals made their way toward the Divine Ladder.

This batch didn’t have anyone noteworthy; not a single person was ranked in the top ten of the Renshen Manual.

Time passed quickly.

After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

All the people in this batch had returned.

The best score was a little over four hundred and thirty steps, and the worst was a little over two hundred and sixty steps.

No one was particularly outstanding, nor were any particularly impressive.

It was utterly average and failed to spark interest.

The assessments for the third batch were similar.

However, there was Xue Qiang from the third batch, ranked ninth in the Renshen Manual, who achieved a result of four hundred and seventy-nine steps, providing a minor highlight.

Then came the fourth batch!!!

This batch was one of the focal points.

Because, within this batch, there was Mo Qingwu, the second-ranked Mo Qingwu on the Renshen Manual.

"Qing Wu, you can do it!" As Mo Qingwu walked toward the Divine Ladder, Su Chen said those words; he no longer addressed Mo Qingwu as Miss Yan.

Mo Qingwu’s delicate body trembled slightly, and then, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands, she actually looked towards Su Chen, nodded emphatically, and even responded, "I will definitely not disappoint you!"

In that instant, millions in the arena turned their gaze towards Su Chen.

If glares could kill, Su Chen reckoned he would’ve suddenly died without a place to bury him.

Mo Qingwu’s earnest and shy demeanor was just shy of saying, "Su Chen, I like you!"

Anyone in the audience could feel Mo Qingwu’s special regard for Su Chen, couldn’t they?

"Su Chen!!!" Zhuge Yijian’s eyes nearly turned red as his Qi surged wildly, on the verge of losing control. He looked at Su Chen deeply, with an indescribable fury.

He couldn’t understand why Mo Qingwu had taken a fancy to Su Chen.

Was he, Zhuge Yijian, not better than Su Chen?

He’d even revealed that he was at the Second Rotation of the Hollow Void Realm!

Unable to help it, Su Chen touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "Jiuyou, I feel like I’ve stolen many people’s goddess..."

"It’s not many people, it’s almost everyone!" Jiuyou reminded him, "What merits do you have, lad? I’m puzzled! How did Mo Qingwu fall for you?"

"Cough cough..." Su Chen coughed, shrinking his head; he had indeed aroused public wrath.

"Treat Mo Qingwu well, I really like her!" Jiuyou suddenly said, "It has nothing to do with her talent for martial cultivation and the like, but her personality—I really like her personality. It’s very sincere; it’s the purity of a Heart of Scarlet Youth!"

Su Chen subconsciously looked towards Mo Qingwu, only to see that she had already started ascending the steps.

Her pace was exceedingly fast.

Shimmering around her was a beautiful, dazzling purple halo; she resembled a ribbon, weaving through the air, traversing dozens of steps, hundreds of steps in her wake.

In no time.

Mo Qingwu had actually reached five hundred steps!!!

The key point was, Mo Qingwu showed no sign of slowing down at all.

Keep in mind that earlier, Xuu Qiong started to slow down at four hundred steps and by five hundred steps, he was advancing at a snail’s pace, one step at a time.

In contrast.

Mo Qingwu was far too strong!

Su Chen’s eyes brightened, somewhat beyond his expectations.

Meanwhile, more and more people in the Divine Field were gawking in disbelief.
