The higher-ups of the Haoran Sect remained silent, knowing they were in the wrong. Some even suspected that someone was secretly helping Su Chen.
They looked at each other, but their eyes were filled with doubt and confusion.
Yun Mo took a deep breath, turned to the Elder behind him, and asked with a solemn expression, "Who exactly did this? Step forward! My Haoran Sect isn't someone who can't afford to lose!"
The Elder of the Haoran Sect behind them exchanged glances, both utterly bewildered, clearly unaware of what had transpired.
Yun Mo frowned slightly, looked at Sect Master Shi, and said with a serious expression, "If anyone from my sect is truly involved in this matter, I will definitely give you an explanation."
The Jinyang Sect Master's expression softened slightly.
At this moment, the Great Elder, who had his hands behind his back in the distance, slowly spoke, and his voice carried over.
"What's there to explain? Defeating Duan Yunlin was all done by Su Chen himself. That kid was hiding his strength; he probably has some kind of secret Magical Treasure to conceal it. Plus, there's Array Formation on this Arena Platform that Divine Sense Concealment, which is why we couldn't figure it out."
"Besides, even Sect Master Shi didn't notice anything unusual. If he didn't notice anything unusual, how can it be considered cheating?"
As Su Chen's Master, he naturally had to stand up for Su Chen at this time.
Although he hadn't seen the whole thing, he could tell that Su Chen hadn't cheated. This kid was unusual; he'd even fooled him.
Sect Master Shi's eyes widened in surprise. He looked at the Great Elder of the Haoran Sect, and strongly suspected that it was he who had helped Su Chen.
This makes sense, since Su Chen was his Disciple.
However, the people of the Haoran Sect did not have such thoughts. Those who knew the Great Elder knew that he would not cheat, and they trusted his character. Besides, hadn't the Qiudao Peak always been like this?
The Disciple of Qiudao Peak are all very low-key, and their Trump Cards are hard to fathom, except for Su Chen's, which is even more extraordinary.
However, the other Elder remained silent, mainly because it was indeed too unrealistic. There are limits to being abnormal; when it goes to the extreme, it becomes somewhat unbelievable.
That's how they feel.
Seeing that no one from the Haoran Sect spoke, Sect Master Shi took a deep breath, sat back down in his chair, and looked at Yun Mo with a sarcastic gaze. "Since that's the case, then I won't say anything. I want to see if he can unleash such terrifying strength in the next match."
The other Elder of the Jinyang Sect also wore sarcastic expressions; they simply did not believe that Su Chen possessed such strength.
Now that the Divine Sense Barrier has been removed, everyone can see what's inside. If Su Chen doesn't have the strength to defeat Duan Yunlin, then the entire Haoran Sect will become a laughing stock.
Yun Mo knew exactly what he was thinking, and he turned his head again to look at the group of Elder.
Was the situation as the Great Elder described, or did someone else help Su Chen?
If it's the former, that would be the best, but if it's the latter, the reputation of their Haoran Sect will plummet, and they'll probably become a laughing stock.
Many people in the Spectator Stand were still shouting, protesting that Su Chen was cheating.
Su Chen hadn't expected such a huge reaction. It seemed his previous performance was indeed very realistic, creating a striking contrast for them.
I have to say, it really works.
No wonder Han Li always managed to sneak out during Dungeon; ambushing people like that is incredibly difficult to defend against. If he were more cautious, prepared numerous backup plans, and kept a low profile from the start, who could possibly beat him at the same level?
However, Su Chen didn't want anyone to accuse him of throwing the match; such remarks were simply an insult to him.
Su Chen slowly spoke, "Since everyone thinks I'm cheating, why don't the remaining two come at me together?"
Upon hearing this, Pang He and Wei Wu both felt a sense of absurdity. A mere Heavenly Immortal Early Stage actually wanted to challenge both of them at the same time? Did he cheat to truly possess that level of strength?
Pang He turned to Huang Bingyan, his eyes full of questions.
If Su Chen still had the cheating methods he used to defeat Duan Yunlin, they would be completely outmatched. To defeat Duan Yunlin in one move, his attack methods must have reached the Profound Immortal level.
Huang Bingyan nodded to him. Now that the Divine Sense Barrier had been removed, they could see clearly any of Su Chen's methods in actual combat, and they could even catch him cheating.
Pang He's lips curled into a slight smile as he sneered, "Someone like you dares to ask us to join forces? Fellow Daoist Weiwu, go ahead and attack."
Although Wei Wu is Disciple of the Jinyang Sect, the two are now on the same side.
Wei Wu didn't say anything. His strength was inferior to Pang He's, so there was no problem with him going first.
Wei Wu jumped directly onto the Arena Platform, a Long Spear appearing in his hand, and his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.
"Boy, prepare to die!"
He transformed into a blur as he charged toward Su Chen, his entire being resembling Long Spear, radiating terrifying power.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to Past. This attack was definitely Wei Wu's full strength. They wanted to see how Su Chen would defend against it.
Su Chen remained silent. At this point, there was no need to keep a low profile anymore. Although there was still room for maneuver, for example, if everyone said he was cheating, then he could go with the flow and make Wei Wu lower his guard.
But this was just a competition, not a real life-or- Life and Death battle, and Su Chen didn't like anyone insulting his strength like that.
He glanced at Wei Wu, then reached out and grabbed him.
Su Chen didn't use any Magical Treasure; he simply reached out and grabbed at Wei Wu with his bare hands.
"This... to catch it with bare hands? Even Duan Yunlin or Pang He couldn't do that, right?"
Someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.
However, the scene of blood splattering on the spot did not end there. Su Chen's hand looked ordinary, but it was full of explosive power. The moment it touched the Long Spear, the Long Spear shattered, and the powerful backlash caused Wei Wu to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Su Chen raised his hand again and struck Past with a palm. Wei Wu flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed to the ground. His breath immediately weakened.
Wei Wu struggled to lift his head and looked at Su Chen in disbelief.
"How is this possible!"
He never expected that Su Chen would have such great strength; he hadn't cheated.
The Martial Arena fell into a deathly silence. Before, no one had seen it clearly, but now that Su Chen had crushed Wei Wu with absolute strength, everyone could see it clearly. Even the Jinyang Sect Master was shocked.
Su Chen defeated Wei Wu solely with his physical body, without relying on any external power.
How could a Heavenly Immortal Early Stage possess such a terrifying physical body?
Su Chen looked at Pang He, his face completely indifferent. "I just gave you a two-on-one opportunity, and you didn't value it, so don't blame me."
Pang He stared wide-eyed at Wei Wu, then shifted his gaze to Su Chen, his face revealing his shock.
This is terrifying!
No wonder the Sect Master warned us to be careful of the Qiudao Peak and those extremely low-key, ordinary people before we came.
Isn't Su Chen just that kind of person?
He had always been unremarkable, clearly a good-for-nothing, but at the crucial moment, he unleashed such terrifying power.
What kind of twisted mentality is this?!
Why would someone with such terrifying strength pretend to be so weak? When Duan Yunlin attacked earlier, Su Chen even showed a panicked and fearful expression. Now that I think about it, it's just too outrageous!
