Trying Out the Genius

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Wang Yunkai was amused.

As if he had heard the best joke in the world, he arrogantly said dismissively, "Yang Chen, what's wrong? You, a good-for-nothing who lost his Purple Show Pill Furnace to our Wang family, want to spar with me?"

"If you dare, I don't mind," Yang Chen said slowly. "What I fear is that you, who lack the courage to apologize and take responsibility, dare not accept this challenge."

"Hahaha, ridiculous!" Wang Yunkai sneered, "Yang Chen, since you're asking for death, I don't mind fulfilling your wish. I hope you won't end up like that Yang Wu, needing an elder to save you. As for how we should compete, be it a pill duel or a martial duel, I accept it all."

In his opinion, Yang Chen's cultivation in martial arts and his skill in alchemy were both subpar.

Yang Chen said unhurriedly, "A pill duel isn't suitable for the current atmosphere. Let's go with a martial duel. However, a childish spar that's just about fists and feet is too boring. We're adults now, so why don't we let our weapons do the talking?"

When these words fell, Wang Yunkai was stunned. He was genuinely surprised by Yang Chen's proposal.

Upon hearing Yang Chen's words, Yang Yuan anxiously said, "Yang Chen, absolutely not! Aren't you cutting off all your escape routes?"

If it were a simple fistfight, it would be easy for them to intervene and rescue Yang Chen if he lost.

But with swords clashing, life and death could be decided in an instant, and who could tell what happened?

In his heart, Wang Yunkai was somewhat apprehensive about Yang Chen's proposal, as he had never experienced such an 'adult' battle.

However, after thinking about it, why would he be apprehensive of a good-for-nothing like Yang Chen?

With this thought, Wang Yunkai sneered, "Good, good, Yang Chen, you've got guts. Since you want to use the methods of adults, I don't mind accompanying you. But if you get injured or killed later, don't blame me, Wang Yunkai, for not holding back."

Killing a genius from a mid-tier clan in a duel, he, a genius from a major clan, had nothing to fear.

"Yunkai, be careful. This Yang Chen is not a good-for-nothing like Yang Wu," Yu Xiaohui said for some reason, having a bad premonition. She had personally witnessed Yang Chen cripple Xu Hu and knew that Yang Chen was a truly formidable character.

She always felt that Wang Yunkai and Yang Chen were not on the same level.

Not just in strength, but also in their temperament, they were far too different.

However, Yu Xiaohui's words did not make Wang Yunkai any more cautious. Instead, it made Wang Yunkai feel that Yu Xiaohui was worried about him. He snorted, "Don't worry, it will only take three moves to take down this good-for-nothing."

As these words fell, Wang Yunkai took out his saber from his Storage Bag.

The golden saber glinted under the sunlight, making its sharpness obvious.

Yang Chen showed no fear. He gripped his silver spear and walked towards Wang Yunkai step by step.

"Can we start?" Wang Yunkai licked his lips.

"Of course," Yang Chen said calmly.

"Take this, Yang Chen!" Wang Yunkai's disdainful smile lingered as he gripped the golden saber and slashed at Yang Chen.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Wang Yunkai had no intention of holding back. It was called a duel, but in reality, he intended to take Yang Chen's life.

Seeing this, Yang Wu felt a mix of emotions.

He once thought he had everything.

But when he truly encountered difficulties, how many of those who admired and praised him came to his aid?

It was the people of the Yang Family, and this Yang Chen, whom he had previously despised, who helped him.

"Yang Wu," Yang Yuan walked over at this moment.

Yang Wu lowered his head, feeling ashamed, "Father."

"Father knows you are unwilling, which is why I invited Yang Chen. Now, this is all Father can do for you. Yang Chen is different from you; this child has a broad mind and doesn't dwell on past events. As for you, are you still holding onto grudges about what happened before?" Yang Yuan said with a frown.

"Father, with Yang Chen treating me like this, how could I still hold onto it?" Yang Wu sighed.

"It's best that you think this way," Yang Yuan took a deep breath and gazed at the battle from afar.

Yang Wu spoke with slight nervousness, "Father, Yang Chen, can he win?"

"I don't know. This method of fighting is too risky. I didn't expect Yang Chen to be so reckless. You know, in this kind of competition, one mistake can be fatal," Yang Yuan said with a solemn expression. "If Yang Chen can win, then it's a joyous occasion for everyone. If Yang Chen cannot win and cannot dispel Yu Xiaohui's arrogance, then it can only be said that your fortune is insufficient. However, no matter what, your father will protect Yang Chen to the death, as this child is stepping forward for you."

"Yes, Father," Yang Wu watched Yang Chen spar with Wang Yunkai, his heart filled with deep unease and trepidation.

Yu Xiaohui, like Yang Wu, was also filled with anxiety.

But soon, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "No matter how powerful this Yang Chen is, he's just a genius cultivated by a mid-tier clan. Wang Yunkai was personally trained by a major clan. How could Yang Chen possibly win?"

With this thought, her confidence grew considerably.

That good-for-nothing Yang Wu, without an arm, was he even worthy of her?

The other party was ultimately just a clown.

In comparison, Wang Yunkai, as a genius cultivated by a major clan, was naturally much stronger than Yang Wu. At the very least, his saber techniques alone far surpassed Yang Wu's skills. He was on par with Xu Hu. However, overall, Wang Yunkai was still far inferior to Xu Hu.

Even the Yang Chen who had just fought Xu Hu could easily defeat this Wang Yunkai.

As for now, he had already reached the Body Refining Realm Sixth Level, so fighting Wang Yunkai would naturally be even easier.

However, Yang Chen was not in a hurry to defeat Wang Yunkai. The reason he proposed an 'adult' duel with Wang Yunkai was to hone his spear techniques.

"The Hunyuan Spear Technique itself is a spear technique with extremely high lethality. To improve upon this technique, it requires intense combat. Practicing my spear techniques in the Training Field yielded no results. Since that's the case, I'll use this Wang Yunkai to practice," Yang Chen thought to himself.
