The reason for this climax was, naturally, Yang Chen.

At this moment, Yang Chen had completely replaced Yang Wu, becoming the center of attention. One could tell from Yang Caidie's awkward expression alone.

Ever since Yang Chen won the championship in the boulder assessment, the girls he had called over couldn't remain calm.

"Um, Sister Caidie, does your brother still need someone to warm his bed?" a girl who was good friends with Yang Caidie stammered.

Upon hearing this, Yang Caidie immediately said, "Of course he needs... oh no, he doesn't."

What this girl meant was, wasn't she asking if Yang Chen was married yet?

She had originally intended to tell the truth, but after thinking carefully, her brother had now won the championship of the Yang Family's Coming-of-Age Ceremony. Did he still need someone to warm his bed? That was a joke. The person to warm his bed had to be chosen carefully. Sisterly affection was one thing, but the matter of her brother's bed-warming partner was a lifelong affair.

"Sister Caidie, I have a sister who is particularly beautiful. I'll introduce her to your brother another day. Of course, she's definitely not as beautiful as me, haha. If your brother doesn't find my sister suitable, I'm actually available too. Although I'm a few years older than your brother, this age difference isn't a big deal, not a big deal." another girl said.

"You go on, Caidie's brother is mine."

"You go on, Yang Chen is mine."

Such a scene was also typical among the Great Wilderness Hundred Clans.

There wasn't a single girl who didn't wish for her man to be a heroic figure among the Great Wilderness Hundred Clans.

The astonishing talent displayed at a young age was undoubtedly the kind of person these girls admired and were willing to choose.

Of course, Yang Chen's performance had not yet conquered everyone present. There were still those who doubted Yang Chen's results, believing that Yang Chen's meteoric rise and excellent performance must have involved some trickery. Perhaps Yang Chen had actually cheated?

The subsequent combat assessment was the true test of skill!

The combat assessment could not be faked.

With many holding this thought, the old servant announced, "Next, the combat assessment officially begins. I will randomly select pairs for combat."

"Yang Hong, Yang Jie!"

"Present!"

"Alright, begin," the old servant said.

Next, the match between Yang Hong and Yang Jie officially commenced.

Both of these young fellows had reached the Body Refining Realm Second Level in their martial cultivation. While they couldn't be considered the most outstanding geniuses of the Yang Family, they were still pillars of the Yang Family's middle tier. In their fight, they unleashed the martial skills they were most proficient in, and their battle could certainly be described as exciting.

In the end, Yang Hong seemed to have the upper hand, landing a punch on Yang Jie and ultimately securing the victory.

Following that, the rapid succession of matches began.

Selected by the old servant, the paired matches proceeded swiftly.

Yang Chen wasn't in a hurry, but whether it was a coincidence or the old servant's deliberate intention, he found himself paired with Yang Heng.

"Yang Heng, versus Yang Chen. You two, step forward."

As the old servant's voice fell, Yang Heng and Yang Chen stepped forward, standing on the stage of the Yang Family Martial Training Ground.

This outcome surprised Yang Chen somewhat. After all, being paired with Yang Heng like this, Yang Chen didn't believe it was a mere coincidence. It seemed that Yang Jinhe, the old servant, still had some minor doubts about his strength. Otherwise, why would he specifically send his old rival to test him?

This caused Yang Chen's lips to curl. He had been too lazy to seek out Yang Heng to settle scores, but now, it seemed he couldn't avoid it.

Yang Heng clearly didn't think being paired with Yang Chen was a matter of bad luck. He twisted his neck at this moment, accompanied by the cracking sound of bones colliding. Yang Heng sneered and said, "Yang Chen, your luck is truly terrible, to have run into me like this by chance."

"Is that so? I don't really feel like my luck is terrible," Yang Chen said with a slight smile. "Your brother said the same thing to me just now. You really are brothers."

Yang Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Chen, stop pretending. Others might not know you cheated to get your results, but you think I can't see it? Don't worry, I'll expose your true colors very soon. I'll make you understand the difference between results obtained through cheating and true genius!"

As these words fell, Yang Heng, filled with rage, instantly surged towards Yang Chen.

"It's a martial skill—Eight Gates Claw!"

Eight Gates Claw was a martial skill with extremely potent killing power. Generally speaking, once this martial skill was unleashed, it was bound to draw blood.

Clearly, Yang Heng had murderous intent today.

"Yang Heng is actually using such a vicious martial skill."

This was beyond the expectations of many. After all, when fellow disciples fought, they would more or less hold back, considering their kinship. But Yang Heng's actions completely disregarded that kinship.

Yang Chen also narrowed his eyes. Seeing Yang Heng use the vicious martial skill Eight Gates Claw, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

When others had already bullied him to this extent, how could he not retaliate?

"Yang Chen, I'll show you how powerful I am!" Yang Heng assumed a posture of "Black Tiger Steals the Heart," his claw wind whistling, creating an imposing aura.

"Yang Chen is in trouble. If his results were truly obtained through cheating, then this claw strike is enough to cripple Yang Chen."

But was Yang Chen's performance truly the result of cheating?

At this moment, facing the "Black Tiger Steals the Heart" posture, Yang Chen's lips curled.

When it came to martial skills, Eight Gates Claw was indeed extremely lethal. However, compared to Ba Yun Fist, Eight Gates Claw was like child's play.

Coupled with the difference in martial cultivation, Yang Chen felt that Yang Heng was more like a child playing with a sharp sword in front of him, posing no threat at all.

"Let go!" Yang Chen saw an opening and instantly slammed out a fist, directly gripping Yang Heng's arm.

Following that, Yang Chen's fist wind whistled, swift as lightning, and directly struck Yang Heng's chest.

"Ah!"

With a scream, Yang Heng spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

At this moment, the voices that had doubted Yang Chen abruptly ceased.

Earlier, Yang Chen lifting the giant stone could still be called cheating, but what about now? Yang Chen had defeated Yang Heng with ease in just one move. If anyone still called this cheating, it would be a bit far-fetched.

Yang Chen truly possessed real strength.

"Unbelievable!"

"I never expected Yang Chen to have such talent. Everything Yang Chen did before was just him laying low."

"I didn't expect the biggest dark horse of this Yang Family Coming-of-Age Ceremony to be Yang Chen."

"Yang Heng has lost."

"To be precise, Yang Heng was completely dominated by Yang Chen. We didn't even see what martial skill Yang Chen used."

"They're not even on the same level."

"Daddy, please go talk to Yang Caidie. For this Yang Family Coming-of-Age Ceremony, I choose Yang Chen as my man."

"My dear daughter... it's not that Yang Chen will become your man just because you choose him. Rather, it's only if he chooses you that you can become his woman. We need to get this order straight."

At this moment, all sorts of discussions erupted, and the entire venue became lively.
