Chapter 503: Chapter 500: Shocking the Entire City_1

“Yang Chen merely reached the eighteenth floor, just like Senior Brother Huang Taiji, and even passed it. There’s nothing for Yang Chen to feel superior about in front of us in Beishan Main City.” A genius who was very unhappy with Yang Chen spoke coldly.

If it had been in the past, when someone expressed disdain for Yang Chen, perhaps others would have echoed the sentiment, feeling that the person had a point.

But now…

Is there something wrong with this person’s brain?

“When has Yang Chen ever been superior in front of us in Beishan Main City?”

“Senior Brother Huang Taiji is a figure from who knows how many years ago, Yang Chen is at least much stronger than this generation of our Beishan Main City.”

“Being strong is just being strong. When we face a genius who is better than ourselves, we must be humble in order to make progress.”

“If we don’t know how to be humble and admit that others are stronger than us, then we will always be the same as we are now. I’ve decided that from now on, I will work harder and strive more than ever. Even if I can’t surpass Yang Chen, I still need to get closer to him.”

Many geniuses have self-esteem and ambition. This self-esteem and ambition made them envious when they saw Yang Chen’s talent at first. That suppressed envy made them wish to compete with Yang Chen and see who was better.

At that time, everyone didn’t think they were weaker than Yang Chen, so they naturally didn’t recognize their own problems.

However, now when they face Yang Chen, that sense of powerlessness makes them very clear that they have lost. They need to seriously find the reasons within themselves. Even if they can’t ultimately surpass Yang Chen, they still need to prove that they are ambitious.

Of course, there are indeed some who still hold prejudices against Yang Chen, but most of these people are just some incompetent individuals with messed up brains.

After all, Yang Chen had never competed with the geniuses of Beishan Main City.

As these geniuses were discussing, Yang Chen’s achievement of reaching the eighteenth floor and passing the seventeenth floor quickly caused a sensation in Beishan Main City.

Steward Xu couldn’t help but transmit a message to the higher-ups of Beishan Main City. In an instant, those high-ranking individuals came one after another!

“It’s Mo Zhi Jiao!”

“Mo Zhi Jiao is here!”

These geniuses looked up at the sky, and an elder leading a group of people, both old and young, arrived in front of the Trial Tower.

“Teacher-in-charge, sir.” Steward Xu looked at the elder in the lead and respectfully said.

This elder was none other than Mo Zhi Jiao, one of the three giants of Beishan Main City, on par with Han Lingling’s father, Han Tianying.

At this moment, he led many high-ranking officials of the Beishan Main City here, indicating that Yang Chen’s achievements have completely shocked the entire Beishan Main City.

“This… ”

“Indeed, it’s the eighteenth floor, Teacher-in-charge, this Yang Chen!”

“This Yang Chen is too demonic, he reached the eighteenth floor in one breath!”

The high-ranking officials of Beishan Main City looked at the situation of the eighteenth floor and discussed, each with their own opinion.

Mo Zhi Jiao had his hands behind his back, looking at the eighteenth floor light lit up in the Trial Tower, sighed deeply, and said coldly: “You all made a very good decision back then, thinking that Yang Chen’s background was not impressive, and suspecting his talent. You never thought that letting Yang Chen join our Beishan Main City was a correct choice. Yes, your choices were all very correct.”

Mo Zhi Jiao’s face turned red as he looked at the high-ranking officials behind him.

Back when Yang Chen had emerged in the Genius Selection Competition, many high-ranking officials suggested to win him over.

Unfortunately, what was the approach of most high-ranking officials?

Rejection, they did not want Yang Chen to join Beishan Main City.

It was only because of Yang Chen’s talent issues, but later on? Yang Chen had demonstrated his Innate Divine Body, but when they tried to win him over again, it was already too late. Yang Chen was a genius, and geniuses all have their own temperaments.

“Teacher-in-charge, I think the biggest mistake on the issue of Yang Chen is not that we didn’t win him over, but that after failing to win him over, we ended up offending him. When Yang Chen came to challenge the Trial Tower last time, our Beishan Main City targeted him quite a bit.” After saying this, Steward Xu glanced at someone nearby and said, “Xiao Deacon, do you think there is any problem with what I said?”

Upon hearing Steward Xu’s words, Xiao Deacon’s face immediately turned red, and he said angrily, “Steward Xu, what do you mean by that? This Yang Chen is not from our Beishan Main City, what’s wrong with us targeting him?”

“Is your targeting meaningful?” Steward Xu said bluntly, “Who doesn’t know that you targeted Yang Chen because your son was humiliated at that time?”

“You, you’re slandering me!” Xiao Deacon was furious when his sore spot was touched.

Who was his son?

Xiao Yunfeng.

At that time, with the Treasure Furnace in his hand, Xiao Yunfeng was almost certain to win first place in the Alchemy Competition held in Beishan Main City. However, who would have known that Yang Chen suddenly came out and snatched away the first place that Xiao Yunfeng had painstakingly planned for his son?

As a result, Xiao Yunfeng had always vehemently opposed Yang Chen joining the Beishan Main City.

He had worked so hard to cultivate his son into the Alchemy Genius of Beishan Main City. If Yang Chen joined, would there be any room left for his son?

It was with this mentality that he always feared that Yang Chen would perform too well and be noticed by Beishan Main City’s competent forces, who would then wholeheartedly try to win him over.

But he wouldn’t admit to that, and when Steward Xu provoked him like this, he angrily turned his head and said, “Teacher-in-charge, this Steward Xu is obviously slandering me. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I did. Teacher-in-charge, think about it, this Yang Chen is not from our Beishan Main City, why should we treat him nicely?”

“I think Xiao Deacon is right, Teacher-in-charge, we don’t need to pay so much attention to this Yang Chen. Yang Chen didn’t join our Beishan Main City at the beginning, which shows that he never really wanted to join Beishan Main City in the first place.”

“This kid only sought for the petty benefits of being the Junior Sect Master of the Yuan Mountain Sect, and in the end, he was deceived by them. It shows that this child has an ordinary mindset. He has no long-term vision, so what’s the use of having this kid?”

“Yeah, Teacher-in-charge, I think the other deacons are not wrong. Yang Chen merely passed the seventeenth floor.”

For a time, the deacons who had always vigorously opposed Yang Chen joining the Yuan Mountain Sect stood up one after another, speaking as if they were giving heartfelt advice.

Hearing so many people supporting him, Xiao Deacon’s confidence grew stronger, and when he looked at Steward Xu, his expression was filled with a taste of triumph.
