Chapter 829: Chapter 824: Losing Sanity (6 more)

"Young Master Su, ah..." Liu Erfu looked at Su Chen, hesitating to speak. He had initially planned to befriend Su Chen, especially since in the first test, Su Chen had performed at a level that was unprecedented and unrivaled.

But the outcome of the second test was depressing for Liu Erfu; it was a rollercoaster that felt like plummeting from Paradise to Hell. Su Chen’s performance in the second test was surely going to lead to his elimination!

After this, the chances of Su Chen entering the Buddha Domain were slim, let alone fulfilling his empty promise of ’owing a favor to Heaven Earth Pavilion’.

If Liu Erfu had known beforehand how ridiculous Su Chen’s performance in the second test would be, he would have never agreed to sell the Divine Blood Stake Fragment to Su Chen.

Su Chen didn’t explain anything.

There was no need to explain anything to Liu Erfu.

At the same instant.

Shentu Ni couldn’t hold back anymore and loudly said, "Su Chen, what a great finale you’ve made! Not even twenty breaths, haha... such a good State of Mind."

A blatant mockery, unmasked.

Zheng Jingyuan also spoke up: "Hmph, with that State of Mind, who knows when you’ll Demonize, or go mad?"

"On the path of martial arts cultivation, the State of Mind should always come first," Xue Shousong added.

Kicking someone while they’re down felt so good.

Inside the Martial Battle Hall, many Martial Cultivators who envied or resented Su Chen cheered loudly, each one as excited as the next.

Then, Shentu Ni turned towards the luxurious sedan: "Senior, may the results be announced now?"

Shentu Ni couldn’t wait any longer; he wanted to hear the news of Su Chen’s elimination right now.

The announcement of the results of this second test naturally had to come from the mysterious woman of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect since she conducted the test, and she was the most knowledgeable and authoritative on the scores.

Liu Erfu dared not take on that responsibility, nor was he qualified to do so.

"In the second test, those eliminated are: Li Youchang, Hua Ning, and Zhang Zhicheng!" Amidst great anticipation, the woman’s voice came from inside the sedan.

At these words.

Suddenly, the noise in the hall hushed, and then went from silence to an even greater uproar:

"What? Three people eliminated, and Su Chen is not one of them?"

"Wasn’t Zhang Zhicheng’s score better than Su Chen’s? Zhang Zhicheng lasted for about eighteen breaths. Su Chen barely made it to sixteen."

"Fix?"

"Why? Weren’t the rules clear about eliminating the three with the worst scores? Is it just because Su Chen did well in the previous round, they’re forcefully keeping him in this one?"

"Poor Zhang Zhicheng, he clearly had the chance to advance."

...

The mysterious woman’s answer was truly baffling.

Zheng Jingyuan, Xue Shousong, Liu Erfu, and others were all somewhat astonished. Was the mysterious woman from the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect really deliberately favoring Su Chen? Why would she do this?

Shentu Ni’s face turned ugly in an instant, his heart filled with rage.

Why?!!!

He thought Su Chen was going to be eliminated.

Something he was almost a hundred percent certain of, how could it...

However, no matter his discontent, Shentu Ni could only suppress it, not daring to question or doubt; the mysterious woman in the sedan was too terrifying, not someone he was qualified to challenge or interrogate.

After taking a deep breath, Shentu Ni spoke again: "Senior, what about the specific rankings of the twelve who advanced?"

He wanted to humiliate Su Chen.

He must humiliate Su Chen.

Although he did not dare to question the mysterious woman about why Su Chen wasn’t one of the three eliminated, he could indirectly ask about the rankings!

Su Chen was surely the last of the twelve, and he was the first; with such a huge gap in rankings, he could also use it to humiliate Su Chen.

"The fifth place, Nangong Wu." The mysterious woman paused for a moment before speaking, starting with the fifth place and not bothering with those below that.

"The fourth place, Shao Jian."

"The third place, Lu Ye."

The mysterious woman announced each name slowly.

At this point, some Martial Cultivators in the hall furrowed their brows – something was not right! Lu Ye ranking third? That meant there were two people ahead of him!

But the fact was, other than Shentu Ni, no one else’s score had surpassed Lu Ye!

This was something everyone had seen, confirmed, and agreed upon.

What exactly was going on?

Despite their questions, the hall remained quiet, everyone’s eyes fixed on the luxurious sedan, ears perked up in anxious anticipation.

"Second place, Shentu Ni!" the mysterious woman continued.

What?!?!

Once these words were spoken,

the entire hall seemed to have its air vacuumed out.

Complete breathlessness.

Many even instinctively raised their hands to check their ears.

Was there a problem with their ears?

Shentu Ni in second place? That joke’s too big.

Shentu Ni’s score was endless! An infinite score! How could he now be second? Could there actually be someone who bested Shentu Ni?

Even Shentu Ni himself was dumbfounded.

His mouth gaping open, he felt as if he’d been suddenly tossed into an ice cellar, a chill permeating his being.

If just a second ago, even under threat of dismemberment, he wouldn’t have believed he was anything but first!

To speak arrogantly, in this second round of testing, if Shentu Ni were second, no one would dare to be first!

Shentu Ni’s teeth were grinding so hard they nearly cracked, he was on the verge of madness!

However, Shentu Ni was still enduring, restraining himself with all the rationality he could muster.

He wanted to hear who was first.

And it wasn’t just Shentu Ni, everyone present was extremely curious – who exactly was first?!

Countless unwavering gazes fixated on the luxurious sedan, their eyes practically materializing.

In deathly silence, the mysterious woman spoke again: "First place, Su Chen."

First place, Su Chen?!

As soon as the mysterious woman’s voice fell, in the spectator seats, some Martial Cultivators had already fainted.

A cover-up, but it couldn’t be this blatant, could it?

Did they think everyone was blind?

Su Chen, not even twenty breaths.

Shentu Ni, an endless score. Even if it wasn’t really endless, by the time the mysterious woman woke Shentu Ni, it had already been five hundred breaths!

How did it come to Su Chen being first and Shentu Ni second?

This was bullying to the extreme!

Even if you were the Supreme Expert of the Buddha Domain, even if you were the Supreme Expert of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, you shouldn’t bully people like this, right?

Liu Erfu, Zheng Jingyuan, Xue Shousong, and others were also dumbfounded.

Despite racking their brains, they couldn’t make sense of it...

Could it be that the mysterious woman in the sedan had taken a fancy to Su Chen? Otherwise, how could she so blatantly and shamelessly misrepresent the truth? Did she really think nobody had eyes to see?

Shentu Ni was frozen on the spot, heart and breath stopped, as if he had died on the spot.

Unable to accept it.

He was losing his sanity.

Feeling an urge to annihilate everything.

His eyeballs even turned red.

Just three words echoed in his mind: Why? Why? Why?

Shentu Ni roared these words over and over again in his heart.
