Training a Genius as Practice

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Wang Yunkai laughed.

It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. With brazen disdain, he said, "Yang Chen, what, you worthless trash who lost your own Purple Show Pill Furnace to our Wang family members wants to have a match with me?"

"If you dare, I do not mind." Yang Chen spoke slowly. "What I fear is that you, who do not even have someone to take responsibility for your apology, might not dare accept this match."

"Ha ha ha, what a joke!" Wang Yunkai sneered viciously. "Yang Chen, since you are courting death, I do not mind granting your wish. I hope you will not end up like that Yang Wu, needing an elder to come out and save you in the end. As for how we compete—pill refining or martial combat—I accept it all."

To him, neither Yang Chen's martial cultivation nor his pill-refining standards were worthy of entering his eyes.

Yang Chen said without haste, "A pill contest does not suit the current atmosphere. Let it be martial combat instead. However, those childish contests that merely compare fists and kicks are far too dull. We are already adults, so let us speak with the weapons in our hands."

When those words fell, Wang Yunkai froze for a moment, truly surprised by Yang Chen's proposal.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Yang Yuan anxiously said, "Yang Chen, absolutely not! You... you are cutting off all your own paths of retreat!"

If it were merely a contest of fists and kicks, then even if Yang Chen lost, they could still easily intervene and save him.

But when blades and swords clashed, life and death could be decided in an instant. Who could tell them apart in time?

Deep down, Wang Yunkai was somewhat wary of Yang Chen's proposal. After all, he had never experienced that sort of "adult" life-and-death contest.

But after thinking it over carefully, what did he have to fear from trash like Yang Chen?

At that thought, Wang Yunkai sneered. "Good, good, good, Yang Chen. You have guts. Since you want to use an adult's way of competing, I do not mind keeping you company. But if you are injured or die later, do not blame me, Wang Yunkai, for not showing mercy."

Killing a genius from a medium-sized tribe in a contest was nothing for him, a genius from a large tribe, to fear.

"Yunkai, be careful. This Yang Chen is not comparable to trash like Yang Wu." For some reason, Yu Xiaohui had a bad premonition. She had clearly witnessed Yang Chen crippling Xu Hu and knew that Yang Chen was a truly ruthless character.

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

Not only in strength, but also in temperament—they were worlds apart.

Yet Yu Xiaohui's words did not make Wang Yunkai any more vigilant. Instead, they made him feel that Yu Xiaohui did not trust him. He snorted coldly. "Relax. Three moves are enough to take down this trash."

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

Under the sunlight, the golden saber gleamed brilliantly, making its sharpness plain for all to see.

Yang Chen, however, showed not the slightest wariness. Holding his silver spear, he walked toward Wang Yunkai step by step.

"We can begin now, right?" Wang Yunkai licked his lips.

"Of course," Yang Chen said calmly.

"Take this, Yang Chen." Wang Yunkai's disdainful smile lingered. In the next moment, he gripped his golden saber and slashed at Yang Chen.

Anyone with eyes could see that Wang Yunkai had no intention of holding back. Though it was called a contest, he was truly aiming to take Yang Chen's life.

Seeing this, Yang Wu's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He had once believed that he possessed everything.

But when he truly encountered hardship, how many of those who had once admired and praised him came forward to help him?

The ones who helped him were all people from the Yang family, as well as Yang Chen, whom he had once regarded with deep hostility.

"Yang Wu." At this moment, Yang Yuan walked over from the side.

Yang Wu lowered his head, shame filling his heart. "Father."

"Father knows that you are unwilling to accept this, which is why I invited Yang Chen here. Now, this is all Father can do for you. Yang Chen is different from you. This child is broad-minded and does not hold the past in his heart. But what about you? Must you still cling stubbornly to the affairs of the past?" Yang Yuan said with furrowed brows.

"Father, with Yang Chen treating me like this, how could I possibly still hold this matter in my heart?" Yang Wu sighed.

"It is best that you can think this way." Yang Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes watching the battle from afar.

Yang Wu asked somewhat nervously, "Father, can Yang Chen win?"

"I do not know. This method of life-and-death combat is far too risky. I never expected Yang Chen to be so reckless. You must know, in this kind of contest, one lapse in defense can cost a life." Yang Yuan's expression was grave. "If Yang Chen can win, then all will be well. If Yang Chen cannot win and cannot extinguish Yu Xiaohui's arrogance, then it can only be said that your fortune is insufficient. But no matter what, your father will protect Yang Chen even at the cost of my life. After all, he stepped forward for your sake."

"Yes, Father." Yang Wu watched Yang Chen exchange blows with Wang Yunkai, his heart filled with deep unease and anxiety.

Yu Xiaohui was just as anxious as Yang Wu.

But soon, she gritted her teeth and muttered, "No matter how formidable Yang Chen is, he is only a genius raised by a medium-sized tribe. Wang Yunkai was personally nurtured by a large tribe. How could Yang Chen possibly win?"

At that thought, her confidence grew considerably.

Yang Wu, that piece of trash, had lost an arm. Was he worthy of her?

In the end, he was nothing more than a clown leaping about on a stage.

Compared with him, Wang Yunkai, as a genius nurtured by a large tribe, was naturally much stronger than Yang Wu. At the very least, his saber technique alone far surpassed Yang Wu's methods. He was even capable of matching Xu Hu blow for blow. But overall, compared with Xu Hu, Wang Yunkai was still far, far inferior.

Even the Yang Chen who had just fought Xu Hu would have been enough to defeat Wang Yunkai with ease.

As for now, he had already reached the Body Refining Realm Sixth Level. Fighting Wang Yunkai was naturally effortless.

However, Yang Chen was in no hurry to defeat Wang Yunkai. The reason he had proposed this "adult" contest with Wang Yunkai was to temper his spear technique.

"The Hunyuan Spear Technique is inherently a spear technique with extremely powerful killing force. If I wish to improve in this technique, the demands of real combat are very high. I gained nothing from tempering my spear technique at the Training Field. Since that is the case, I will use Wang Yunkai as practice." Yang Chen thought to himself.
