Chapter 919: Chapter 916: The Exchange During Handshakes_1
Yang Chen knew that these main family geniuses who came to find him definitely had no good intentions, and the facts were indeed so. This made him quite helpless, realizing that becoming famous was not necessarily a good thing, as he was often the first target.
Although Yang Chen’s goal was to suppress the arrogance of these main family geniuses, there was no need to be impatient since the Clan Gathering hadn’t begun yet. He asked, “What are your names?”
“You’re not qualified to know our names. If you want to know, you have to pass at least three or five moves from us first!” said a genius beside Bai Shanxiao with a cold smile.
His tone clearly implied that for Yang Chen, even lasting three or five moves against them would be a decent achievement.
Bai Shanxiao laughed, “Brother Bai Gu, you’re not being fair. After all, Bai Yunfei is the strongest branch genius in this event. How could he only last three or five moves? At least five or six moves, hahaha!”
As his words fell, the main family geniuses around laughed loudly.
Seeing this scene, Yang Chen’s expression remained unchanged and he smiled calmly. “Later at the Clan Gathering, there should be plenty of opportunities for us to compete. There’s no need to rush.”
“Are you afraid?” a Bai family genius sneered. “I thought the number one genius of the branch family would have something extraordinary. I didn’t expect you to be so cowardly that you don’t even dare to accept the challenge!”
Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, and through his gaze, no one knew what he was thinking.
“No, no, no, Brother Yunfei, how do you not understand our intentions?” Bai Shanxiao said with a hearty laugh. “We just want to test you now. If you lose later, you can admit defeat during the formal competition, which would save you from humiliation. We main family geniuses received the most formal training, unlike you branch geniuses. Isn’t it better to compare now than on stage?”
Yang Chen glanced at Bai Shanxiao and saw his delighted expression. He did not believe that Bai Shanxiao would trust him so easily.
With a faint smile, he asked, “Do you really want to compare now?”
“Has Brother Yunfei come to his senses?” Bai Shanxiao’s face showed joy.
Of course, he wouldn’t be so kind as to help Yang Chen. He just wanted to fight with Yang Chen now, and after Yang Chen had lost, he would immediately spread the news. After all, who could guarantee that the one who could eliminate Yang Chen on stage would be his turn?
Yang Chen was such a big name, eliminating him first would naturally make him the center of attention at this Clan Gathering.
This had always been his goal!
Yang Chen shrugged and said, “Since you all have such an interest and hold me, Bai Yunfei, in such high regard, I naturally can’t turn down your offer. Since we have some time before the Clan Gathering begins, let’s decide on how to compete.”
“The simplest way is to use a pair of gloves. These are Jade Gloves. Wearing these gloves will protect your palms to the greatest extent and absorb power. In addition, when wearing the Jade Gloves and shaking hands with each other, you will be able to transmit your True Qi to your opponent through the gloves, allowing for a duel.”
Bai Shanxiao said, “In simple terms, wearing these gloves, shaking hands, whoever is stronger can win. My Jade Gloves are a Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure, allowing for the safest environment and ensuring a stable outcome. What do you think, Brother Yunfei?”
Yang Chen had heard of these magical Jade Gloves before, but he had rarely encountered them. Now that he saw them with his own eyes, he marveled at their wonder and said, “No problem. I’d like to try these amazing gloves.”
Bai Shanxiao handed over one of the gloves and asked, “Who among you wants to take the first opportunity?”
“I will.” Bai Gu stepped forward, licking his lips, eager to seize the first opportunity.
Seeing Bai Gu so anxious, Bai Shanxiao squinted his eyes. He wanted to defeat Yang Chen and become the focus of attention. But he was in no hurry, so he let Bai Gu test the waters first. If Bai Gu could easily defeat Yang Chen, then there would be no point for him to defeat Yang Chen and become the focus himself.
If Bai Gu couldn’t succeed, it would mean this Yang Chen was quite tricky, and only then would defeating him have any value.
Bai Gu and Bai Shanxiao had different thoughts, but they both wanted to become the focus of the Clan Gathering.
At this moment, after putting on the other Jade Glove, Bai Gu couldn’t wait and said, “Let’s start.”
Yang Chen smiled kindly, put on the glove, and shook hands with Bai Gu in a friendly manner.
“Heh!” The moment Bai Gu shook hands with Yang Chen, he immediately transmitted his True Qi into the Jade Glove.
Yang Chen just smiled and didn’t take it to heart.
No wonder he didn’t take it to heart; this Bai Gu was only at the Fourth Level of the True Martial Realm. He didn’t underestimate the Fourth Level; he just didn’t think he needed to put in too much effort or reveal all of his cards.
Of course, even if he only showed a little of his strength, Yang Chen believed it would be enough to deal with Bai Gu.
The two Jade Gloves instantly conveyed the astonishing power of their respective masters as they collided.
At first, Bai Gu didn’t feel anything unusual. He thought that the power he had unleashed would be enough to shatter Yang Chen’s ridiculous confidence. However, when he saw Yang Chen’s strength, he realized that the truly ridiculous one filled with confidence was not Yang Chen, but himself!
Bai Gu’s eyes widened as he felt the powerful force coming from Yang Chen’s Jade Glove. With a groan, he trembled and was thrown back.
Bai Gu took a deep breath, and his eyes still showed some panic. He knew he had been lucky with the Jade Gloves. When they shook hands, most of the power was absorbed by the Jade Gloves, and not much was transmitted to their bodies.
However, even so, he was still left with lingering palpitations.
“What happened?!” Bai Shanxiao’s face turned ugly.
He didn’t expect Bai Gu to win against Yang Chen. As long as he could force Yang Chen to use some techniques, it would be enough. But who knew, Bai Gu couldn’t even make Yang Chen retreat half a step.
“Such a waste.” Bai Shanxiao cursed in his heart.
If Bai Gu couldn’t do it, the others would be useless as well. Bai Shanxiao took a step forward, took back the Jade Glove from Bai Gu and then turned to Yang Chen, “Brother Yunfei, well done, you have some skills. In that case, let me have a try with you!”
Yang Chen could defeat Bai Gu, which didn’t surprise him, since Bai Gu was never the Bai family’s true core genius. He, Bai Shanxiao, was!
As soon as he put on the Jade Gloves, Bai Shanxiao’s aura suddenly scattered.
Boom.
He had actually reached the Fifth Level of the True Martial Realm!
What do you think?
