Chapter 2585: Chapter 2581: Provocation Again_1

At this, Zhang Jiangkun became worried as well: “Brother Yang Chen, if Zhao Yuanhong is indeed joining forces with Mo Qianwu, he must harbor a grudge against you. Zhao Yuanhong is indeed no match for you, but if Mo Qianwu steps in to support him, I’m afraid they will come to trouble you.”

Yang Chen thought back to when Zhang Jiangkun had mentioned this Mo Qianwu to him before.

Mo Qianwu was among the oldest batch of students in the entire Seven Swords Pavilion, with quite some years spent there – he was not someone to be compared to Zhao Yuanhong, who had only been there for a few decades.

Because of this, Mo Qianwu’s combat abilities only made people more desperate.

Although there were many with better talent than Mo Qianwu, no one dared to provoke him, as he was virtually considered an invincible force within the Seven Swords Pavilion.

It had to be said that Zhang Jiangkun was right on the money.

Mo Qianwu heard Zhao Yuanhong speak, the corner of his mouth raising into a cold, indifferent smile. He walked straight towards Yang Chen.

“Yang Chen?” Mo Qianwu’s tone and voice were casual.

“It’s me.” Yang Chen replied expressionlessly.

Mo Qianwu lazily said: “I heard you’ve been quite arrogant in the Seven Swords Pavilion lately, hehe, even showing off your Daoist Divine Body. When the Sea of Trials is over, shall we compare our skills?”

As these words fell, the surrounding discussions immediately started.

“This is getting interesting.”

“Haha, after Zhao Yuanhong was bullied, Mo Qianwu starts to stand up for him.”

“Mo Qianwu’s strength is incredibly formidable; it’s said that he has reached 12,000 Dao Intent Inscriptions. Such strength is enough to be unrivaled within the entire Seven Swords Pavilion.”

“It seems that just a few disciples who refuse to break through have more Dao Intent Inscriptions than Mo Qianwu. It’s said that the highest has already reached more than 16,000.”

“Those disciples who no longer inquire about the world of the Seven Swords Pavilion simply don’t come forward. Basically, Mo Qianwu can be considered the most powerful among the many disciples.”

“Yang Chen is indeed formidable, and having a Daoist Divine Body is quite remarkable, but his chances of winning against Mo Qianwu are probably not high.”

Upon hearing Mo Qianwu’s provocation, Yang Chen narrowed his eyes.

He clearly could not refuse this challenge, or else Mo Qianwu would continue to be incessantly annoying and use this to attack him, putting him in an extremely embarrassing situation.

With that in mind, Yang Chen didn’t waste any more words, and responded expressionlessly: “Alright, since Brother Mo is so interested, I’ll accompany you to the end.”

Mo Qianwu let out a big laugh: “You really dare to agree? Well then, I’ll be waiting for you. I just hope that after this Sea of Trials is over, you can still maintain this courage!”

Yang Chen shrugged and didn’t bother to respond any further.

To him, actions spoke louder than words.

Zhang Jiangkun worriedly asked, “Yang Chen, are you confident in facing Mo Qianwu? His strength is truly terrifying.”

“Don’t worry.” Yang Chen grinned.

If it were before, Zhang Jiangkun definitely wouldn’t be optimistic about Yang Chen’s chances, but after last time’s incident, he had gained much more confidence in Yang Chen.

He knew that Yang Chen possessed infinite possibilities.

Assessing Yang Chen based on his own thoughts simply wouldn’t work.

“Why hasn’t the person inside come out yet?” Mo Qianwu said coldly.

Zhao Yuanhong’s expression turned cold: “Hmph, a loser who’s been in the Sea of Trials for over two double-hours and still on the Fifth Floor. Once he comes out, I’ll have to teach him a lesson!”

The person inside the Sea of Trials finally exited after not too long.

As soon as he came out, Zhao Yuanhong angrily said: “Waste, hurry up and scram, you’re delaying my chance to challenge the Sea of Trials.”

The young man who originally occupied the Sea of Trials didn’t dare to provoke Zhao Yuanhong. Hearing Zhao Yuanhong’s words, he quickly retreated, fearing to provoke this calamitous star.

After driving this person away, Zhao Yuanhong entered the Sea of Trials, ready to show off his skills.

“It’s said that Zhao Yuanhong reached the Eighth Wave last time and stopped at the Ninth Wave. I wonder if he can reach the Ninth Wave this time.”

“It’d be quite difficult. If he does reach the Ninth Wave, Zhao Yuanhong will surely gain even more attention within the Seven Swords Pavilion.”

“Hehe, since Zhao Yuanhong lost to Yang Chen last time, he probably wants to regain some face this time.”

Zhao Yuanhong did indeed want to redeem himself; his strength had grown somewhat since his last battle with Yang Chen.

However, he didn’t dare to fight Yang Chen.

He didn’t have to face Yang Chen in this Sea of Trials, and he hoped to regain some dignity through it!

Yang Chen seemed not to have participated in the Sea of Trials, so the other party’s results might not be better than his!

Zhao Yuanhong immediately entered the Sea of Trials.

In front of the entrance’s Teleportation Array, there was a stele. The stele would display the movements of those in the Sea of Trials!

Although one couldn’t specifically watch what means the participant used in the Sea of Trials, they could know which wave they had reached.

For Zhao Yuanhong, the first few waves were no obstacles to him at all.

He directly passed through them with ease.

First Wave, Second Wave, Third Wave – he easily broke through them.

And on the stele, the numbers one, two, and three quickly appeared, then rapidly disappeared, changing to four, five, six.

It indicated that he had directly charged into the Sixth Wave, with an astonishing result.

After all, for the vast majority of Seven Swords Pavilion members, the Sixth Wave was not considered a high level, but it wasn’t weak either.

But Zhao Yuanhong managed to achieve it so easily.

Afterwards, the Sixth and Seventh Waves also failed to pose any obstacle to Zhao Yuanhong, and he quickly passed through them.

Only when he reached the Eighth Wave did Zhao Yuanhong begin to feel some difficulty and spent some time on it.

By the time he reached the Ninth Wave, Zhao Yuanhong had been fighting for more than three double-hours.

Finally, Zhao Yuanhong successfully passed the Ninth Wave and reached the Tenth Wave, but soon after, he was defeated and emerged from the Teleportation Array.

Such results shocked many people.

He had actually made it through the Ninth Wave, having defeated all the creatures within it.

“Zhao Yuanhong is so strong, even stronger than before.”

Though he appeared somewhat disheveled after exiting the Sea of Trials, Zhao Yuanhong’s face displayed an expression of delight upon recalling his success.

Reaching the Tenth Wave was a task considered difficult for many others.

Zhao Yuanhong glanced challengingly at Yang Chen, believing that by now, he had the power to make his rival tremble in fear.

“Alright, it’s my turn.” Mo Qianwu said lazily.

When the conversation ended, Mo Qianwu, appearing uncaring about anything, stepped forward.

Now that Mo Qianwu had stepped into the spotlight, he captured the attention of everyone, making many people look forward to his performance.

If even Zhao Yuanhong achieved such a result, wouldn’t Mo Qianwu perform even better?
