Listening to Jiang Zhen's introductions, everyone looked over with curious expressions.
But soon, the crowd was drawn in by the battle before them, one after another revealing looks of astonishment.
It wasn't until they saw Zhang Chulan step up that they all perked up, turning their gazes toward him.
"Haha, Chulan's on stage. What do you all think this kid Zhang Chulan will do?"
At these words, the others showed puzzled expressions, especially Li Lianhua, who seemed particularly confused: "Wait, in this kind of match, are there other tactics involved?"
Jiang Zhen heard this, the corner of his mouth curling slightly, then said: "Haha! How about we all guess what method Chulan will use to win the match? Let's see who guesses right?"
At this, the others all looked over, and soon, interest sparked among them.
Everyone turned their attention, and Li Lianhua spoke first: "Swordplay. This kid learned my Xiangyi Tai Sword back then, and he's already quite good at it."
Uncle Jiu, however, shook his head and said: "Not right, not right! I reckon it'll be the Lightning Technique. This kid's Lightning Technique is pretty impressive!"
Hong Hong of Tushan simply spat out two words: "Fists."
Madara Uchiha, upon hearing this, shook his head and said: "In battle, any method works. All kinds of tactics are about the same. As long as you win, but given this kid's personality, to avoid being too flashy, he's very likely to resort to a sneak attack."
Hearing this, the others also recalled how slick-tongued the kid usually was when he spoke.
Finally, they all turned their gazes to Jiang Zhen.
But Jiang Zhen flashed a bright smile: "Borrowing strength to strike, using little effort, and winning this first match."
At these words, the others looked over in confusion.
Just then, Zhang Chulan appeared like some big shot, having scrounged up a tattered cape from who knows where, and strode onto the competition field.
Once he entered, he put on an extremely arrogant air, delivered a lengthy lecture, and finally raised his right hand high, shouting loudly: "What I want to overthrow is this very sky!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and sat down on the spot without another word.
This scene left the surrounding audience utterly dumbfounded, their blood boiling.
The group members, too, stared wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief.
"Damn! Is Zhang Chulan this cocky?"
Madara, having seen this, burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha! This kid's not bad, really not bad. He suits my style! Once I recover, I want to fight this kid!"
But upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen said with a helpless look: "Heh! Madara, don't be so quick to speak, or you might end up eating your words soon."
Before Madara could say anything, they saw the trio on the other side had already started fighting. After a flurry of blows, only one youth remained standing, battered and bruised.
He pointed at Zhang Chulan and shouted loudly: "Zhang Chulan, I've won. Now, can I experience your Qi Body Origin Flow?"
Zhang Chulan opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said: "Sit down! Calm your qi. Once you've recovered, we'll fight."
Hearing this, the youth beamed and nodded, then sat down cross-legged without any guard, beginning to circulate his qi to recover quickly.
But just then, Zhang Chulan stood up and, under everyone's bewildered gaze, walked over to the youth.
Pointing at the youth, he said to the referee: "Referee, if I hit him now, it's not against the rules, right?"
At these words, the referee's face darkened as he looked at Zhang Chulan: "No, it's not. But kid, I want to hit you."
Zhang Chulan just shrugged, and at that moment, the youth's eyes went wide, his face full of disbelief: "Wait, where's your dignity as a strong man?"
Zhang Chulan sneered dismissively: "Dignity as a strong man? Hah, how much is that worth?"
With that, his tattered cape was flung directly onto the youth's face.
Then came a fierce stomping, and this scene left everyone completely stunned.
At this moment, Madara was completely stunned, standing frozen in place for a long time before slowly speaking a single sentence:
"Shameless Lotus!!!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but nod: "A character like that—this kid is definitely going to be a troublesome one in the future."
Hong Hong of Tushan: "Even worse than Rong Rong. I need to record this and show it to Rong Rong!"
Ling Lianhua was also silent for a long while, touching her face before finally saying:
"Incredible, truly incredible."
And then, Jiang Zhen burst out laughing: "Hahaha, just you wait and see! This kid might end up being the one who lives the best out of all of us in this group.
With that shameless attitude of his, what do you all think?"
At these words, everyone fell silent.
Especially Uncle Jiu and Ling Lianhua—they knew something about Zhang Chulan's strength.
Here, if not the ceiling, he could at least rival some of the older generation.
Yet, under these circumstances, he could still hold back. With that kind of mental fortitude, neither of them could compare.
"Yeah, this kid is definitely going to be extraordinary."
Soon, after a few rounds of competition, everyone present returned to their own lodgings.
And Zhang Chulan also entered the Starry Sky Chat Group.
"Hahaha, everyone, how was today's match? Was the livestream useful?"
Jiang Zhen and the others exchanged glances before slowly speaking:
"Exciting, but you—you were even more exciting."
At this, Zhang Chulan scratched his head awkwardly and said: "Isn't it because I'm afraid there are too many hidden observers lurking in the shadows?
Hiding my strength and then unleashing it at the end saves me from those people constantly scheming over my Qi Body Origin Flow, which I don't even know if I have."
Hearing this, everyone looked at him in surprise.
However, Jiang Zhen just smiled and said: "Haha, alright. Since this livestream works well, anyone can use it whenever something comes up.
After all, these livestreams can earn Chat Points. Anyway, I won't say more—I'm heading back. Kaisha is still waiting for me!"
The others also took their leave and departed.
In the blink of an eye, the Starry Sky Chat Group became empty.
Super God World, Kunlun, in the courtyard, Jiang Zhen opened his eyes and looked at Kaisha, who had already finished reading many books.
He then stood up, walked over, and said with a smile: "So? Finished reading. Any thoughts?"
Kaisha put down the book in her hand, looked at Jiang Zhen, and said in a voice full of shock: "Shocking, unbelievable. I simply cannot imagine that over a thousand years ago, ancient natives who couldn't even recognize that they lived on a planet could possess such insight and thought.
Some of these things are simple, yet these observations are accurate. In fact, some of them couldn't even be deduced by pre-nuclear civilizations.
But they figured it out just by observing the movements of heaven and earth. It's truly mind-boggling.
Were they... really just ordinary people?"
Jiang Zhen smiled: "Perhaps. Who really knows?
After all, the reason you've set your sights on this planet is precisely because of the secrets hidden on it, isn't it?
You wanted to take this opportunity to investigate thoroughly. To be honest, even I don't fully understand these things.
But, Kaisha, after reading all this, do you still think the path you were on before was the right one?
Is your current path of technology still correct?"
Hearing this, Kaisha fell silent. After a long while, she shook her head and said: "Right or wrong, I don't know. But from now on, I will try to change the current angels."
With that, Kaisha stood up, bowed to Jiang Zhen, and said: "On behalf of the entire Angel Race, I thank you for your help to the angels."
Then, Kaisha took out a sword and handed it to Jiang Zhen, saying: "This sword represents the Angel Race. From today onward, you are the best friend of the Angel Race.
If anything comes up, you can hold this Long Sword and come to the Angel Race."
"Any female angel will lend you a hand. That promise stands forever!"
Jiang Zhen listened, smiled, and nodded, saying:
"Haha, since that's the case, many thanks!"
With that, Jiang Zhen didn't decline and directly accepted the King's Sword.
Kaisha: "These books—can I make a copy and take them back to the Angel Race?"
Jiang Zhen: "Haha, no problem!"
