Transmigrated into a Villain in a Novel, the Heroines' Character Settings Have All Changed - Section 6

Xu Chen looked at the Ring of Holding and suddenly frowned. "It feels familiar, but I can't say what's wrong with it."

He had definitely seen this Ring of Holding before, yet he could not remember where.

The next day, after Xu Chen washed up, he received a notice.

"The assessment is being held at the Xu Family? What kind of nonsense is this?"

Xu Chen froze.

He remembered that in his previous life, it had been held at the Ye Family's Training Ground.

Though there was not much difference between the two, it was rather baffling.

Forget it. He would just assume Li Ruoling was pretending to curry favor with him.

With that thought, Xu Chen hurried to his family's Training Ground.

Looking over it, it spanned dozens of zhang in width, weapons standing in rows, its imposing aura overflowing.

Several formations shrouded the area, releasing spiritual energy as faint mist spread through the air.

The heads and geniuses of Qingyang City's many Lineages had already all arrived.

Every Lineage had its own designated area and seats. They sat high above, watching the center of the arena.

Xu Chen arrived at his family's section and found that Li Ruoling was not beside him this time.

She was on the Training Ground's raised platform, monitoring the matches.

Yet he could feel the flirtatious glance Li Ruoling cast his way, as though it carried electricity.

He could also feel Ye Xuan's furious gaze, as though it could kill someone.

Xu Chen clicked his tongue. Your woman had already become a spy for you, so what the hell were you angry about?

"Today is Jixia Academy's assessment in Qingyang City. This elder shall preside over it, while the Saintess monitors it."

"There are many aspects to the assessment, but combat strength is the focus. When your name is called, please enter the arena for your assessment."

"First match: Xu Chen of the Xu Family versus Ye Xuan of the Ye Family."

Elder Mingyou's voice rang like a great bell, swiftly spreading throughout the entire Training Ground, clear for everyone to hear.

Xu Chen froze. He remembered that Ye Xuan, as the protagonist, was supposed to appear last.

The moment he appeared, he would stun everyone present, ride the winds and command the clouds, leaving everyone gasping in shock.

After all, that made him look impressive. The author had arranged it quite well.

But what was going on today? He was appearing first?

"Forget it, forget it. I'm going to follow the plot and lose anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I go first or later."

Xu Chen muttered.

He had not taken the Human Spirit Pill or the Mystic Spirit Pill, all to ensure the plot would not collapse.

This time, no one could stop him from getting utterly crushed. He had said so.

He quickly stepped into the center of the Training Ground, instantly erupting with the aura of the Late-stage Second Rank.

The cultivation realms in Soaring Heaven Martial Emperor were quite simple. First Rank was the lowest, increasing step by step until Ninth Rank.

Above Ninth Rank was Martial Emperor, above Invincible was Great Emperor, and above Great Emperor was Immortal Emperor.

Each major realm was further divided into early stage, mid-stage, late stage, and perfection.

Very common, very easy to remember.

He remembered that this bastard Ye Xuan's true strength was at the Early-stage Third Rank, and that he would send him flying with a final punch.

Very good. Come on, send him flying again.

As he pondered, he had already come face-to-face with the protagonist, Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan's face was cold. "Xu Chen, you have suppressed me for three years. After today, it will be the day of my rise."

Xu Chen nodded. Emmmm, yes, yes. You're the protagonist, so you'll rise. I'll cooperate with you.

Seeing Xu Chen's indifferent expression, Ye Xuan was instantly filled with anger.

They were about to fight, yet Xu Chen still dared to be so unconcerned. He could not endure it any longer.

This time, Xu Chen would surely pay the price.

With that thought, he moved.

PS: Third update. Please send flowers and rating votes. There will be at least five updates today. Fifty ratings for one extra update, currently at forty-two. Two hundred flowers for one extra update, currently at ninety.

At this moment, Ye Xuan had yet to reveal his strength and was only at the Mid-stage Second Rank.

He instantly darted before Xu Chen and began unleashing martial techniques against him.

Though Ye Xuan was only at the Mid-stage Second Rank, his martial techniques were more formidable than Xu Chen's. For a time, neither could gain the upper hand.

As the Original Text had described, the surrounding crowd secretly marveled in shock.

Elder Mingyou even stroked his beard and smiled. "This child is not only a Third Rank alchemist, but can also fight above his rank. Extraordinary, truly extraordinary!"

Li Ruoling curled her lips. There would be a good show to watch soon.

Trying to bully her Brother Xu Chen? Hmph, no way.

Boom!

After exchanging dozens of punches, the two retreated several steps.

Xu Chen's expression was steadier, while Ye Xuan's breathing was slightly disordered.

But Xu Chen knew this bastard was only like this because he had not revealed his true strength.

As expected, Ye Xuan's lips curled. "Do you think you have gained the complete upper hand?"

Playing the villain, Xu Chen sneered. "What? Do you still want to force yourself?"

After speaking, Ye Xuan snorted coldly, and his body trembled.

An Early-stage Third Rank aura immediately spread from his body like a hurricane, rapidly sweeping outward.

In an instant, the ground shook and the air exploded.

The surrounding crowd cried out in shock. "At such a young age, he is already Third Rank?"

Just like the original plot, everyone was stunned.

Xu Chen's face looked grim on the surface, but his heart was utterly calm.

Not bad, not bad. It was about to end.

Whoosh!

The next second, Ye Xuan darted forward again and threw another punch at Xu Chen.

Faintly, the wind howled around it as a sharp aura spread, striking fear into people's hearts.

Following the villain's character setting, Xu Chen naturally could not yield. He shouted, "Do you think I only have this much strength too? Lose!"

He clenched his fist as well and slammed it into Ye Xuan's fist.

He knew that in the next instant, he would be sent flying.

Buzz!

Yet to his surprise, the Ring of Holding on his hand flashed almost imperceptibly.

A Mid-stage Third Rank force, like the rolling Yellow River, surged endlessly into his body.

In an instant, his strength overflowed, spiritual energy wrapped around his entire body, and his bones creaked.

Under his dumbfounded gaze, his fist, carrying berserk power, sent Ye Xuan flying with a single punch.

Ye Xuan was dumbfounded too. Like a kite with a snapped string, he flew straight backward before finally crashing onto the ground.

Ye Xuan, eliminated.

Xu Chen: "..."

Holy shit!

Li Ruoling did this!

Big sis, are you crazy? Instead of helping the protagonist, why the hell were you helping me, the villain?

He only wanted to lose, to be crushed by the protagonist. Why was it so hard?

Now that the protagonist had lost, would the reincarnation start over again?

Xu Chen waited uneasily for the system's warning.

Yet after an entire minute of standing there in disarray amid the wind, the system still did not make a sound.
