Yang Chen naturally had nothing to hide from the Nine Gate Dao Ancestors.
Whatever confidence he had, that was what he said.
Hearing Yang Chen say this, the Nine Gate Dao Ancestors stroked his beard, somewhat surprised.
But he soon smiled. "You brat, you certainly aren't modest. Still, having absolute confidence is a good thing. It shows that your strength surpasses even the Flying Star Insect Ancestor's. Then if you faced Yan, how confident would you be of winning?"
With his hands behind his back, Yang Chen did not immediately give the Nine Gate Dao Ancestors an answer as he had the Flying Star Insect Ancestor.
He pondered for quite some time before saying, "Yan has yet to use his full strength, so I cannot give an exact answer. But judging from the strength he has displayed so far, even under the most optimistic estimate, my chances of victory would be no more than fifty percent."
Hearing this, the Nine Gate Dao Ancestors sighed. He could not deny Yang Chen's words.
Yang Chen might have been absolutely certain of defeating the Flying Star Insect Ancestor, but Yan and the Flying Star Insect Ancestor were not existences on the same level at all.
And after defeating the Flying Star Insect Ancestor, Yan swept his gaze around and set it upon these Dao Creation Stage experts.
Under Yan's gaze, both the Dao Ancestor Taiqiu and the Nine Gate Dao Ancestors revealed grave expressions.
"Yang Chen... I never expected you to have entered the Heavenly Extreme Realm as well. Heh, interesting. In that case, I'll count you among my challengers too." Yan spoke slowly.
Yang Chen's expression did not change. He remained as calm as a still pond.
He was no longer the same person he had been in the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
