Chapter 820: Chapter 814: Want to Be the Finale? (5 updates)

Additionally, Nangong Wu was only twenty-three years old.

Among those present, the youngest were Nangong Wu and Su Chen, both twenty-three, the others were basically between twenty-seven and thirty-two years of age.

Don’t underestimate such a few years, but for a base age of only twenty or thirty years, a gap of several years is already very, very significant.

Liu Erfu knew that the Lijian Sect had already settled on Nangong Wu.

He previously thought that the reason why the Lijian Sect had already chosen Nangong Wu was because the Young Sect Master Zheng Jingyuan was enamored with Nangong Wu, after all, Nangong Wu’s beauty, even in the Buddha Domain, is hard to find.

But who would’ve thought... it was not only so! Besides her beauty that could bring down cities and countries, Nangong Wu’s talent for martial cultivation was extremely extraordinary!

If Nangong Wu really chooses to join the Lijian Sect, the Lijian Sect would absolutely benefit.

"Young Brother Zheng, good taste," Xue Shousong said with a laugh, glancing at Zheng Jingyuan: "However, it seems that Nangong Wu’s heart is not with Young Brother Zheng, you have to work harder!"

There was a hint of mockery in Xue Shousong’s tone.

Everyone was here to snatch up talents, the Heavenly Imperial Sect and the Lijian Sect were competitors, Xue Shousong naturally would not miss a chance to strike at his opponent.

Zheng Jingyuan’s eyes twitched!!!

His killing intent was almost purely demonic.

The killing intent toward Su Chen.

He was mocked by Xue Shousong, and why? Wasn’t it because of Su Chen?

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Jingyuan said solemnly: "Regardless of whether Nangong Wu’s heart is with this young master or not, once I’ve killed that boy, everything will return to the path I want."

"Young Brother Zheng wants to kill him?" Xue Shousong shook his head slightly: "With your identity, going personally might be going too far? That boy isn’t worthy of Young Brother Zheng personally taking action, is he?"

"How can I relieve my hatred without personally taking action?" Zheng Jingyuan licked his lips, a bloodthirsty gleam flashed across his face.

"What if he performs well in the selection competition and catches the eye of that person?" Xue Shousong joked.

"Hehehe..." Zheng Jingyuan was momentarily stunned, then scoffed disdainfully: "Senior Xue, although both you and I don’t know exactly who that person in the sedan is, we can vaguely sense how fearsome he is, right? I bet, she is the most top-level supreme expert in the entire Buddha Domain. What kind of taste would such a supreme expert have? Her taking an interest in that boy, that joke isn’t funny at all. The only reason she personally showed up is for the Pure Sword Physique. Otherwise, even if a twenty-three-year-old at the Ancestral King Ninth Level Realm appeared, I believe she wouldn’t have attended."

"That’s also true, you see quite clearly," Xue Shousong nodded, echoing Zheng Jingyuan’s words, the person inside the sedan, terrifying!!! So terrifying he didn’t dare to guess who she really was? Anyway, he was definitely not someone he could come into contact with, even listening about her was beyond his capacity.

At the same time.

Nangong Wu walked towards the base of the Martial Battle Platform.

Accompanied by deafening applause.

Nangong Wu indeed performed exceptionally well.

Even, it could be said, only slightly inferior to Shao Jian and Lu Ye.

Of course, this ’third’ was vastly different compared to Shao Jian and Lu Ye.

Moreover, Shentu Ni had not tested yet, without surprises, he would definitely surpass Nangong Wu.

But no matter what, Nangong Wu’s test result was satisfying, surprising, and pride-worthy.

The applause in the Martial Battle Hall could not subside for a long time.

Nangong Wu returned to Su Chen’s side.

"You performed well." Su Chen smiled.

"You will definitely surpass me," Nangong Wu said lightly, speaking her heart out. She was starting to find it hard to see through Su Chen. After he had slaughtered thousands of super geniuses in a fit of rage following the Sacred Auction, his displayed strength was extremely terrifying, shocking her. Back then, she could still sense that Su Chen was stronger than her, but only by a bit, and if it were a fight to the death, it was uncertain who would survive.

But after Su Chen’s period of Secluded Cultivation, the current Su Chen gave her a feeling of being completely elusive. He seemed like a mist, ethereal and light, yet also like a massive mountain, solid and reaching to the heavens, strangely unpredictable. She couldn’t gauge the depth of Su Chen’s strength at all.

However, one thing she was sure of was that Su Chen’s strength was definitely beyond hers now.

Meanwhile.

"Su Chen, aren’t you going up on the Martial Battle Platform yet? What, do you want to be the last one to go up, the finale?" Shentu Ni spoke, his voice cold and shadowy, his thin lips curling into a mocking sneer. His demeanor carried a sense of sarcasm and disdain, like a superior speaking down to an inferior.

Su Chen looked towards Shentu Ni too, but he remained silent, not bothering with idle talk.

Shentu Ni’s face slightly changed.

Ungrateful bastard!!! How dare he ignore me?

"Get on the platform, now. What, do you really want to fight with this young master for the finale? Do you think you’re worthy?" Shentu Ni’s gaze hardened, like two icy blades thrusting towards Su Chen.

Yet Su Chen still did not move, his expression unchanged, as if he hadn’t seen Shentu Ni’s gaze at all.

Shentu Ni fell silent too, but a furious rage was building inside him.

Ever since it was confirmed that he possessed the Pure Sword Physique.

It had been many, many years since anyone had dared to ignore him.

Even his father and mother, unconsciously, showed him some respect.

The strong ones in the Buddha Domain repeatedly sought him out to mentor him in martial arts cultivation, even the elders of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect personally instructed him.

But, every person he encountered had one thing in common: a certain amount of awe towards him!

Awe for the Pure Sword Physique.

Awe for the future they saw in him, Shentu Ni.

Su Chen was the first person in these years to blatantly disregard him like this.

"You go up first, it’s for your own good," Su Chen finally spoke the next second, his tone light but earnest.

This was his heartfelt truth.

Why Su Chen insisted on being the last to climb the platform.

The grand finale? Perhaps that was part of the reason. In any competition and selection test, if possible, he preferred to go last, to make the final decisive strike—a habit and perhaps pride!

But, more importantly today, he indeed could not go up early because he intended to directly breakthrough the Divine Blood Stump!

If he went up early and truly destroyed the Divine Blood Stump with one strike, what would happen to those who hadn’t yet been tested?

So, naturally, Su Chen decided to be the last one on the platform.

"What did you say?!!!" Shentu Ni trembled, his eyes chilling like scraping bones, Su Chen daring to talk back was unforgivable, truly unforgivable.

"Heh..." Zheng Jingyuan sneered coldly, with an amused look of watching a joke: "Senior Xue, that kid is seeking his own death. Perhaps, this young master won’t get the chance to torment him to death personally, there are too many people who want to kill him. He’s too good at courting death."
