"What do you mean, too much? I was only telling the truth." Jiang Chen smiled.
"Jiang Chen, don't get too smug. If you run into me, I'll make you pay." Jiang Dong said coldly.
"You make it sound as if I'm afraid of you. I actually hope we can meet soon." Jiang Chen said.
With Jiang Chen's current strength, he was no weaker than an ordinary Martial Master Realm expert. Could he really not deal with a Martial Artist Realm, Ninth Level Jiang Dong?
Jiang Chen was confident that among Martial Artist Realm cultivators, he was practically invincible. At least in a small place like Qingyue Town, no Martial Artist Realm cultivator was his match.
As for whether there were any such people in larger places, Jiang Chen had no idea.
The world was vast, and there were certainly some exceedingly powerful geniuses out there.
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he left.
After seeing Jiang Chen leave, Jiang Dong consoled Jiang Ling. "Jiang Ling, don't worry. I'll definitely teach Jiang Chen a good lesson and vent your anger for you."
"Then I'll have to thank you." Jiang Ling forced an ugly smile.
Being defeated by Jiang Chen with a single move in front of so many people was utterly humiliating.
"Brother Yunfeng, I never expected your son Jiang Chen to be so strong. His cultivation should be more than Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level, right? He moved too quickly just now for us to see what level he was at. However, being able to defeat a Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level opponent with one move means his strength must be considerable." The Wang Family Elder spoke to Jiang Yunfeng.
"You flatter me. I'm not entirely sure of Jiang Chen's cultivation either. Just watch in peace." Jiang Yunfeng smiled.
Jiang Chen had made a spectacular showing, which also brought Jiang Yunfeng considerable face.
Who wouldn't be proud to have a powerful genius for a son?
"Hmph, this is only the first match. It's not as if he's taken first place. What's there to be happy about?" Jiang Hai snorted from the side.
Seeing Jiang Yunfeng's smug expression made him extremely displeased.
"At least it's a first victory." Jiang Yunfeng smiled faintly, completely unconcerned by Jiang Hai's attitude.
They were going to compete for the clan leader's position anyway, so there was no need to give Jiang Hai any face.
Jiang Chen's performance also shocked quite a few Jiang Family clansmen. Who would have thought that his strength had grown so powerful? He was a formidable competitor.
Next was Jiang Dong's match. Jiang Chen had already stolen the limelight by defeating Jiang Ling, a Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level cultivator, with one move.
Jiang Dong had no intention of falling behind Jiang Chen. He likewise defeated his Martial Artist Realm, Third Level opponent with a single move and won the match.
That left Jiang Dong's opponent in a sorry state, seriously injured.
After Jiang Dong won, Jiang Hai was also beaming with pride. His son Jiang Dong was truly outstanding.
Watching this scene, Jiang Chen remained calm, not taking it to heart in the slightest.
Afterward, Jiang Chen watched the others' matches. Several Jiang Family geniuses also performed exceptionally well and earned cheers from the crowd.
An hour later, the second round began. Jiang Chen drew a Martial Artist Realm, Fifth Level opponent—Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi was one of the top five favorites in the Jiang Family. This showed just how powerful he was.
Jiang Chen stepped onto the arena and exchanged a look with Jiang Qi.
"Jiang Chen, I never expected your strength to improve so quickly. Even Jiang Ling wasn't your match. However, I'm much stronger than Jiang Ling, so you'd better be careful." Jiang Qi said.
"You're the one who should be careful. My strength isn't weak either." Jiang Chen said indifferently.
"Then let's see the truth through our hands." Jiang Qi let out a loud shout and struck toward Jiang Chen with a palm.
"Eight Desolations Palm!" Golden light gathered around Jiang Qi's palm, amplifying its power as he fiercely slammed it toward Jiang Chen.
The Eight Desolations Palm was a first-tier martial technique of the Jiang Family, and many clansmen cultivated it. Jiang Chen had also mastered the Eight Desolations Palm.
"Jiang Qi's Eight Desolations Palm has probably reached the Major Accomplishment level. How impressive! Jiang Qi's martial talent is extraordinary." Seeing the astonishing momentum of Jiang Qi's Eight Desolations Palm, someone exclaimed that it had undoubtedly reached the Major Accomplishment level.
It seemed Jiang Qi was also a genius with extremely high talent for martial techniques.
Many people praised him, especially the Martial Master Realm experts, whose eyes were sharper.
Jiang Tian also nodded as he watched Jiang Qi. The emergence of a powerful genius benefited the Jiang Family, and it was certainly something worth celebrating.
Jiang Qi was rather low-key. It seemed Jiang Chen had encountered a formidable opponent.
That was what many people thought.
Seeing Jiang Qi's Eight Desolations Palm coming at him, Jiang Chen also let out a cold snort. He knew the Eight Desolations Palm as well.
Jiang Chen likewise struck out with a palm. The golden light in his palm blazed brightly, even more dazzling than Jiang Qi's.
"What? Jiang Chen's Eight Desolations Palm is actually this powerful too? This is definitely the perfected level of the Eight Desolations Palm." Many people were shocked when they saw Jiang Chen's display.
Many Martial Master Realm experts could not even achieve the perfected level of the Eight Desolations Palm.
How could a junior disciple possibly reach such a level?
It was truly astonishing.
The aura Jiang Chen emitted at that moment was Martial Artist Realm, Fifth Level. He was suppressing his cultivation; otherwise, if he fully revealed his trump cards, Jiang Dong might retreat, and then it would not be certain that he would still fight Jiang Chen.
Jiang Dong had suppressed his cultivation to Martial Artist Realm, Eighth Level, so Jiang Chen could naturally suppress his own to Martial Artist Realm, Fifth Level as well.
Jiang Dong wanted to teach Jiang Chen a lesson. Was Jiang Chen not likewise planning to teach Jiang Dong a lesson?
Jiang Hai was always making things difficult for his family, so Jiang Chen would make sure the entire Jiang Hai family had a hard time.
"Boom..." The two exchanged a palm strike.
"Ah..." Jiang Qi felt a tremendous force surge through his palm, directly blasting him backward. His throat turned sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His entire body crashed outside the arena, exactly like Jiang Ling before him.
He too was sent out of the arena by a single move from Jiang Chen.
Falling outside the arena meant losing.
"Jiang Chen wins." The referee froze for a moment, but after seeing the result, he immediately announced the outcome.
As for Great Elder Jiang Hai, his expression was as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.
The more outstanding Jiang Chen became, the more displeased he felt.
Jiang Chen won another match, and many people cheered.
Who would have thought that Jiang Chen would stand out in this talent competition? Even Jiang Qi was no match for him.
"Hmph, he's only Martial Artist Realm, Fifth Level. Compared to my son Jiang Dong, he still has a long way to go." Great Elder Jiang Hai snorted.
Jiang Yunfeng smiled without saying anything.
He knew Jiang Chen's true cultivation was Martial Artist Realm, Tenth Level, a realm higher than Jiang Dong's. There was no need for him to worry at all.
Jiang Chen stepped down from the arena, while Jiang Dong glared at him fixedly.
Beside Jiang Dong was the chubby Jiang Nan. Jiang Nan had been taught a lesson by Jiang Chen back at the Martial Arts Pavilion.
"Jiang Chen, enjoy your arrogance for a little while longer. Once you run into my brother, he'll definitely beat you until you're gnashing your teeth on the ground." Jiang Nan spoke viciously from the side.
"Is that so? I'm also looking forward to fighting him. I'd like to see exactly how he plans to beat me until I'm gnashing my teeth on the ground." Jiang Chen sneered.
Strength gave him confidence. He did not take these threats to heart at all.
In Jiang Chen's heart, Jiang Dong was no longer worthy of being his opponent.
The gap in their strength was simply too great.
