Yang Chen Makes a Move

Liu Zihan let go of his son's mouth and said, "Son, your chance has arrived. Defeat that man, and you can become Minister Liu's disciple!"

Liu Ming's eyes lit up at these words.

Although he had been rude to Liu Feng earlier, he was more than willing to become his disciple. As the son of the Mayor of Jiangnan City, he knew full well that Liu Feng was a man of immense influence throughout Huaxia.

If he could become the disciple of such an existence, even if he were mediocre, reaching the rank of Grandmaster would be a certainty.

That was a Grandmaster!

A realm his own father had yet to reach!

And as long as one became Liu Feng's disciple, becoming a Grandmaster was guaranteed!

Not only Liu Zihan, but Liu Ming's breathing also grew heavy. He looked at Yang Chen with intense fighting spirit in his eyes!

As long as he defeated this man, he could become Liu Feng's disciple!

Though he didn't know the background of the young man before him, as the son of the Mayor of Jiangnan City, he had been pampered with rare treasures since childhood. He didn't believe anyone could be more gifted than he was!

Yang Chen couldn't help but find the look in Liu Ming's eyes amusing.

Did he really think of him as a soft target?

Yang Chen gave a wry smile.

Was this guy really that stupid?

The fact that he could appear here clearly meant he had some ability, yet he dared to underestimate him? No wonder Liu Ming acted the way he did earlier; it turned out the whole family was dim-witted!

"Ahem, in that case, let's do it here. It's spacious enough!"

Chen Tianxin stepped forward, coughed, and released a surge of spiritual energy that enveloped both Liu Ming and Yang Chen.

"Fight. That way, you won't destroy the place!"

Chen Tianxin watched them with a look of anticipation, his eyes narrowing into a playful, mocking squint.

The barrier enclosed the two, leaving the others outside, which ensured a fair fight.

However, a fight between Liu Ming and Yang Chen was inherently unfair!

This Chen Tianxin was no good!

Yang Chen didn't mind. Liu Ming hadn't seen through his cultivation, but he had certainly seen through Liu Ming's.

He was nothing more than a B-rank!

Never mind now, even when Yang Chen had just stepped into the ranks of ability users, he could have thrashed him!

Therefore, for Yang Chen, this battle was as easy as a college student taking an elementary school exam.

However, Liu Ming on the other side didn't think so.

Liu Ming sneered, rubbing his fists, and said to Yang Chen, "Kid, it's not too late to surrender!"

He was determined to win this battle!

Not only to become Liu Feng's disciple but also to escape Liu Feng's punishment!

As long as he defeated the kid in front of him, he could achieve both!

Yang Chen looked helplessly at the dim-witted fellow and said calmly, "Come on!"

"You're courting death!"

Seeing Yang Chen's dismissive expression, Liu Ming flew into a rage. A long spear suddenly manifested, its cold glint flickering within the barrier.

"Weapon ability!"

Yang Chen's eyes flashed. This was the second weapon-type ability he had encountered; the first had been that A-rank Island Nation person.

Yang Chen was actually quite interested in weapon abilities.

However, upon seeing Liu Ming's spear, he felt disappointed.

It wasn't a long sword!

If it were a sword, he might have been able to devour it later. After all, the Azure Dragon Five Tiger Sword was of too high a grade; if he brought it out, it would easily attract unwanted attention.

Especially now that Yang Chen knew about the realms beyond Grandmaster, he was even more cautious.

"Die!"

Liu Ming roared, thrusting his spear forward with unstoppable momentum. He channeled the spiritual energy in his body to the limit, concentrating it all at the tip of the spear.

The air around the spearhead was torn apart and obliterated.

A powerful force erupted, carrying a fierce aura as it lunged toward Yang Chen. Intending to toy with him, Yang Chen didn't rush to strike back, choosing instead to dodge Liu Ming's attacks.

The barrier wasn't large, but for some reason, Yang Chen's body moved like a fish in water, flickering everywhere within the space. No matter how Liu Ming attacked, he couldn't even graze Yang Chen!

"Damn it, is all you can do run away!"

Liu Ming grew frustrated, and the speed of his spear thrusts began to slow.

He had held nothing back, hoping to crush Yang Chen in one go, but who would have thought Yang Chen would be so slippery? At Liu Ming's speed, he couldn't touch him at all!

He was just wasting his energy for nothing.

Yang Chen let out a dry laugh. Good grief, did he think a battle was a game of hide-and-seek? Did he really expect his opponent to stand right in front of him and wait to be killed?

Yang Chen felt a sense of disdain in his heart.

As expected, a pampered young master who had never known hardship thought far too simply.

Yang Chen dodged Liu Ming's spear once again, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

"Young Master Liu, I'm about to strike. You'd better block it!"

Liu Ming flourished his spear, planted the butt of it into the ground, and said, "Come then!"

Yang Chen's face remained hidden in the shadows as he offered a faint smile.

"Then you'd better block well, lest I beat you to death!"

No sooner had the words left his lips than Yang Chen's figure moved like a phantom, instantly leaving a trail of afterimages within the barrier.

Before Liu Ming could even react, he saw a massive fist growing larger and larger in his field of vision!

Thud!

The punch slammed directly into Liu Ming's abdomen.

A powerful force erupted across Liu Ming's stomach, and the immense momentum sent him crashing into the barrier.

Fortunately, Yang Chen had held back, using only one layer of his internal strength; otherwise, a single punch from him would have shattered Liu Ming's body into pieces!

Liu Ming slid down and hit the ground hard.

His body convulsed, and he was unable to get back up.

"Ming'er!"

Outside the barrier, Liu Zihan's eyes were wide with rage!

That was his son!

His son had actually been beaten into such a state by this wet-behind-the-ears brat.

Heartache flooded him instantly, and at the same time, endless fury surged into Liu Zihan's mind.

In that moment, he forgot that Liu Feng and Chen Tianxin were even there; his eyes held only Yang Chen, who had reduced his son to such a miserable state!

"I want you dead!"

Liu Zihan's pupils turned blood-red, the veins on his face bulged, and a terrifying aura erupted in an instant.

S-Rank!

To be continued!
