The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 1805 - Chapter 1805 Chapter 1802 The Grand Competition Begins_1

Chapter 1805: Chapter 1802: The Grand Competition Begins_1 Chapter 1805: Chapter 1802: The Grand Competition Begins_1 After a lengthy conversation with the Weapon Spirit, Yang Chen finally left the realm within the Universe Destroying Map.

Perhaps out of frustration due to their inability to reach an understanding, Peng Wanli stopped communicating with Yang Chen. The silence felt eerily unnerving, as if Peng was secretly smirking at him from behind.

Yang Chen shook his head. With his current level of power, he had no hope of comprehending the mighty prowess of a cultivator at the Great Path Stage. So he left the Universe Destroying Map and started preparing for the upcoming Six Sides Competition.

The Six Sides Competition was nearing.

Yang Chen could sense underlying currents stirring in the air. He guessed that the human top-class powerhouses must have begun to strategize, setting the trap to lure the enemy in.

However, their efforts were well hidden. Even he, the initiator of the plan, could detect nothing. This eased his worries. If he couldn’t sense anything, then even the capable Han Mei probably wouldn’t catch a whiff of the plan.

And so, time ebbed away. Before he knew it, the Six Sides Competition was upon them.

Yang Chen sensed none of the tension one would expect before a major battle. Everything felt normal.

No wonder ancients likened a calm before the storm. The more imminent the battle, the more normal everything seemed to feel.

Because of the imminent commencement of the Six Sides Competition, he, as one of the participants, was summoned to the Tongyun Pavilion. He was also exempt from his patrol duties for the next three days to fully prepare for the event.

Having already promised Master Qian Gong, Yang Chen went as asked.

Upon arriving at the Tongyun Pavilion, he was greeted by a large crowd.

Not only was he there, but many young disciples were present, including cultivators at various stages such as the Integration Period, Demi-God Phase and to some, even at the True God Stage.

“It’s Yang Chen!”

“Yang Chen is here.”

Yang Chen’s arrival stirred up quite a commotion. Compared to others, Yang Chen was quite a celebrity in the Xuandao Sect. His victory over Ming Hao had made him famous.

Perhaps because of this, many young disciples eyed him with ill intentions – envy, jealousy, or both. Among them, many core disciples were at the same tier as Yang Chen. They had labored at the battlefields for many years without achieving any significant improvement. However, in what seemed like no time at all, Yang Chen had managed to surpass them in meritorious feats and recognition – becoming a favorite in Master Qian Gong’s eyes. Their jealousy was only natural.

Master Qian Gong’s treatment of Yang Chen was indeed different. The moment he saw Yang Chen’s arrival, he blessed him with an individual gaze and even nodded in approval.

This obviously didn’t sit well with others, although they didn’t dare to voice their opinions openly.

Yang Chen knew that some people bore a grudge against him. But that was none of his concern. He had had his fair share of naysayers; he didn’t need to get hung up on other people’s attitudes.

Master Qian Gong slowly asked: “Who else has yet to arrive?”

“Elder Qian Gong, there are about four people left on the list of participants. They should arrive soon.” Someone beside him responded.

Master Qian Gong nodded calmly.

Yang Chen took a quick glance around. There were roughly a hundred people – half were at the True God Stage and below, and the other half was above the True God Stage.

There were about fifty people above the True God Stage and fifty below – with the Demi-God Phase being the minority and the Integration Phase majority.

“Are these people all participants in the competition?” Yang Chen wondered but shook his head soon after: “Probably not, most of them should be reserves ready to participate at any time. If everyone were to compete, who knows how long the competition will last?”

Just as he had this thought, the final four people arrived right on time.

Once Master Qian Gong saw that nearly everyone was present, he beckoned: “Please, take your seats.”

With Master Qian Gong’s command, the participants dared to slowly take their seats. As they sat down, many looked uneasily at Master Qian Gong, awaiting his words.

“Three days from now, the Six Sides Competition will begin. If nothing unexpected arises, we will face the Shangxian Sect.” Master Qian Gong said calmly.

“What?…”

Upon hearing that they were to face the Shangxian Sect, a look of panic flitted across the eyes of most cultivators. Their fear of the Shangxian Sect came bubbling to the surface almost instantly.

Their fear was understandable as they had never won against the Shangxian Sect during numerous years of contests. They felt almost hopeless facing them.

Only Yang Chen remained fairly calm. After all, to him, facing the Shangxian Sect was something he had prepared for a long time. In fact, he would worry if they did not face the Shangxian Sect. In that case, he wouldn’t be able to rescue Hong Yue.

Seeing the fear on most people’s faces, Master Qian Gong released a chilling huff: “Look at yourself, scared out of your wits just because we are facing the Shangxian Sect. This isn’t even against the Taiyi Sect. If we were up against the Taiyi Sect, I presume you would just raise your hands in surrender out of fear.”

“This…” Many people looked at each other, feeling ashamed. However, their deep-rooted fear didn’t change much.

Seeing this, Master Qian Gong shook his head. He realized that their chances of besting the Shangxian Sect were, indeed, slim. He didn’t expect these people to change the tide but only hoped that their loss wouldn’t be too disgraceful. At the rate things were going, even that seemed hard to achieve.

This prompted Master Qian Gong to admonish coldly: “Humph, what’s with those expressions? Do you think we can’t win? Have you all forgotten when Yang Chen defeated Ming Hao? It is proof that we, the Xuandao Sect, can beat the Shangxian Sect. It shows that the Shangxian Sect can be defeated.”

Upon hearing this, many people didn’t dare to voice out their thoughts. However, whispers started behind the scenes.

“Yang Chen just got lucky.”

“He’s an exception. Besides, Ming Hao is not the strongest disciple of the Shangxian Sect. How will he win against a disciple at the Demi-God Phase.”

“There’s no chance of winning. Yang Chen just got lucky against a prodigal son like Ming Hao.”

Although these discussions were hushed, Yang Chen still heard them clearly, feeling a sense of resignation. He had heard words like these before – after he defeated Ming Hao, people were attributing his victory to Ming Hao being a prodigal son.

Sensing the sect’s endemic incompetence in war, Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel disheartened. Repeated failures without introspection, when becoming aware of others’ successes, they resort to petty comments, attributing victories to luck.

Seeing the narrow-mindedness of the group, Master Qian Gong didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t just severely punish everyone because of this, after all.

“Forget it, I will explain the rules of the Six Sides Competition to you. Gather here in three days.”

Seeing that none could ignite a spark of fighting spirit, Master Qian Gong didn’t feel like continuing the conversation.
