“I’ll go!” Chen Bowen declared. “Let those people from the Sand Kingdom know that I alone am enough to make them unable to lift their heads!”
Su Zhengping glanced at Chen Bowen, then at the Sand Kingdom warrior on the stage, and nodded. “Be careful.”
“Rest assured, Prime Minister!” Chen Bowen nodded, stepped forward, and walked towards the duel arena.
As soon as Chen Bowen appeared, the crowd in Yao City immediately erupted in loud cheers. The sound waves surged one after another, reminding Ye Chu of the atmosphere at football matches from his previous life.
“Chen Bowen is finally making a move! Hmph, let’s see how the Sand Kingdom people can stop him!”
“Brother Bowen will sweep the Sand Kingdom cultivators!”
“Let them witness Brother Bowen’s might!”
The onlookers were thrilled. In their hearts, Chen Bowen was the number one in Yao City. Among the younger generation, who could match his edge? Once he acted, the Sand Kingdom people would collapse effortlessly!
“One move!” Chen Bowen walked up to the Sand Kingdom warrior, raised a single finger at him just like before, and said calmly with a tone full of contempt.
His action was domineering yet handsome, causing countless girls to scream in excitement. “So handsome, so domineering! Brother Bowen, we love you!”
The group of women around Zhang Su’er were also staring at Chen Bowen with starry eyes, their gazes practically sparkling.
“Women these days really have no taste at all! Ignoring a top-quality man right in front of them and instead fawning over that flashy pretty boy!” Ye Chu sighed when he saw this, thinking that God gave women black eyes, yet they use them to seek out idiots.
“Shut up!” Zhang Su’er was about to explode. She had never seen such a disgusting person. She shouted angrily, “We can’t appreciate your so-called excellence!”
“Fair enough! You are ordinary people. How could you appreciate my transcendent excellence?” Ye Chu sighed deeply, his expression lonely and desolate. “Seeking defeat in solitude! Is it really so hard to find someone better than me in this world? Only when mountains crumble and heaven and earth unite would I dare to be anything less than excellent?”
Everyone pretended not to hear Ye Chu’s words and shifted their attention back to Chen Bowen. They were afraid that if they looked at Ye Chu, they might not be able to resist strangling him. How dare he compare himself to Chen Bowen?
Under the crowd’s fervent and adoring gazes, Chen Bowen struck out with a single move. There was no flourish, just a direct, fierce attack straight at the Sand Kingdom warrior. The speed was astonishing.
The Sand Kingdom warrior’s expression changed drastically. He poured all his strength into defending against Chen Bowen. But he had underestimated him far too much. Chen Bowen’s strike landed on the blocking arm, and without even a chance to resist, the man was sent flying, spitting blood as he crashed to the ground. He struggled to get up, but he could not even crawl.
“Brother Bowen is so handsome!”
Seeing Chen Bowen truly knock down the Sand Kingdom warrior with one strike, the group of girls went wild with excitement, nearly jumping up.
Ye Chu watched and could not help but click his tongue. Sometimes he really worried about women’s intelligence. Whether in his previous life or this one, when women went crazy, they truly turned into idiots! Ye Chu could not help but think of those women in his past life who chased celebrities so hard they were even willing to sleep with them. He simply could not understand how women’s minds worked.
Ye Chu turned his head away, unwilling to look at those women any longer. He thought that standing too close to them might infect his own intelligence.
With one strike, Chen Bowen had defeated a cultivator at the Seventh Layer of Intent Transformation Realm. The Yao Kingdom side erupted in cheers, the sound waves filled entirely with praise for Chen Bowen!
“Hmph!” Only on the Sand Kingdom side did cold snorts continue. The leading Sand Kingdom warrior nodded to the person beside him, and soon someone from the Sand Kingdom camp quickly strode towards the duel arena.
“Ye Chu! That’s him, that’s the one! This guy beat me up!” Pang Shao appeared out of nowhere at some point, standing beside Ye Chu, glaring furiously at the Sand Kingdom cultivator walking towards the arena.
As soon as Pang Shao appeared, the group of women around Zhang Su’er scattered in fright. Ever since this guy arrived in Yao City, he had been chasing after women everywhere. They were terrified of being targeted by him.
Pang Shao saw the women reacting to him as if he were a fierce tiger and rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction. “Anyone who dares take one step away from here, this young master will make her sleep with me tonight!”
One sentence, and the women instantly froze in place, though their eyes towards Pang Shao were filled with disgust and anger!
Ye Chu could not help but laugh when he saw this. He thought that if Pang Shao stayed in Yao City for a while, he might even take over Ye Chu’s own bad reputation.
“How strong is Chen Bowen?” Pang Shao asked Su Rong.
Although Su Rong did not want to bother with Pang Shao, she still answered, “Seventh Layer of Intent Transformation Realm!”
“Oh! Then Chen Bowen is just waiting to get beaten!” Pang Shao said. “This guy is quite a bit stronger than that pretty boy Chen Bowen!”
“You’re the one asking for a beating!” One of the women, hearing Pang Shao badmouth Chen Bowen, momentarily forgot her fear of Pang Shao and shouted at him.
“Exactly! Brother Bowen is so strong. Dealing with the opponent will be effortless!”
“…”
Listening to the group of women chattering and condemning him, Pang Shao did not care. His gaze remained fixed on the duel arena.
The Sand Kingdom warrior, Sha Shan, looked at Chen Bowen with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth. “So you are the number one among Yao Kingdom’s younger generation?”
“And who are you?” Chen Bowen stared at him, his tone full of arrogance.
“Sha Shan! Ranked third among the younger generation in the Sand Kingdom, but I am more than enough to deal with you!” Sha Shan laughed. “Yao Kingdom, get ready with your beauties and cities.”
“Then it depends on your ability!” Chen Bowen was provoked. He launched a fierce kick, tracing a sharp arc, carrying a powerful intent and the swiftness of an arrow in flight!
Su Zhengping watched Chen Bowen’s strike and nodded with a smile. “Chen Bowen has improved a lot. The way he uses intent in this move is very proficient. He has perfectly fused it with his leg technique!”
“Indeed! This time Yao Kingdom will win against the Sand Kingdom just like before!”
Seeing Chen Bowen’s aggressive and ferocious attack, the Yao Kingdom crowd, who had been a little worried earlier, completely relaxed.
Sha Shan, under Chen Bowen’s strike, could only dodge. This caused the Yao Kingdom people to cheer and scream in excitement.
“If you have any real skill, stop dodging!” Chen Bowen looked at him with disdain at the corner of his mouth and launched another fierce kick. He had assumed Sha Shan would dodge again. But this time he miscalculated. Sha Shan did not dodge or evade. Instead, he met the kick head-on with his own foot.
“Boom…”
The two collided. Both Sha Shan and Chen Bowen were forced back several steps, their legs trembling.
“Seventh Layer of Intent Transformation Realm!” Chen Bowen’s eyes widened in disbelief. The opponent was actually at the same realm as him.
Su Zhengping, who had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up again. His body stiffened as his gaze shot towards the Sand Kingdom camp. He saw their leader nodding at him.
“How is this possible? The intelligence Yao Kingdom received said the opponent only had Fifth Layer Intent Transformation cultivators. How could a Seventh Layer one suddenly appear?”
While Su Zhengping was shaken, Chen Bowen exploded with fury. “So what if it’s Seventh Layer? I can still crush you easily!”
“The same words apply to you!” Sha Shan laughed loudly. With attacks no weaker than Chen Bowen’s, he relentlessly targeted Chen Bowen’s lower body. The two fought fiercely, explosions of muffled sounds ringing out from time to time. They were evenly matched.
Only Pang Shao curled his lip and said to Ye Chu, “Sha Shan has a very powerful move. I suffered a huge loss from that exact move! Chen Bowen’s strength is only about the same as mine, or even a bit weaker. He definitely isn’t a match for the opponent!”
With those words, Su Rong’s gaze suddenly shot towards Pang Shao!
