Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone in the entire Jade Pool Holy Land was stunned.
Who would have thought that, under such circumstances, Yang Zhen not only didn't choose a safe place to hide with Yun La and the others, but instead took the initiative to provoke them, causing everyone to jump off the mountaintop ruins?
Although no one knew where the so-called mountaintop ruins of Eaglefall Cliff were, there was only one place in Eaglefall Cliff that could be considered a mountaintop, and it was easy to find; you could see it almost at a glance.
Once all seventy people jump there, you can imagine what a massive melee it will be.
The assessment, which was originally scheduled to last fifteen days, might not even take a day, and only a few of them might still be able to stand up.
The tokens distributed by the Jade Pool Holy Land cannot be stored in storage rings; they must be kept close to the body. Therefore, if any two people meet, the tokens could easily be transferred.
Seventy people jumping off the mountaintop ruins—that would have been a disaster.
"This... this Yang Zhen, is he insane?" A look of astonishment flashed across the fat old man's face as he stared at the flying boat where Yang Zhen was, pointing at the Heaven-Observing Mirror and asking the old woman with a bewildered expression, "What is this?"
The old woman's face also wore a grim and uncertain expression. She stood up and said to the person beside her, "Go and inform the Holy Land to prepare for a response."
The woman in the yellow robe behind him nodded, glanced at the Heaven-Observing Mirror with a complicated look, and walked back, clearly to prepare a response.
"Look, all seven airships are indeed heading towards the ruins on the mountaintop."
" Yang Zhen is truly remarkable. I was initially finding it a bit boring, after all, we had to wait here for fifteen days. But now, with just one sentence from Yang Zhen, he has enraged almost everyone. If they all jump onto the ruins on the mountaintop, it will definitely be an earth-shattering battle."
"What makes Yang Zhen so confident? Has he really cultivated a hundred Heavenly Radiance?"
"If anyone else had said this, I would never have believed it, but Yang Zhen is different. This guy Yang Zhen really does things in unconventional ways. No wonder he dares to say something like cultivating a hundred Heavenly Radiance."
At the head of the table, the white-bearded old man and the fat old man exchanged a glance. After their initial surprise, they both revealed expressions of curiosity. The fat old man chuckled and said, "That's good. This way, the assessment process will be greatly accelerated."
The white-bearded old man nodded, and said in surprise, "I'm very curious, just how long can Yang Zhen hold out against an attack by seventy people!"
The old woman's expression shifted as she stared at Yang Zhen. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Interesting little fellow. Which of you knows him well? Why did you dare to talk about cultivating a hundred Heavenly Radiance?"
At this moment, the woman in the yellow robe gracefully approached and said with a smile, "Granny, I have observed the aura of the Nameless Heart Art on Yang Zhen's body, and it is indeed stronger than that on Luo Chengguang and Yu Qing."
"Oh?" The old woman was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the Heavenly Radiance he cultivated has more than the eight paths of Luo Guangcheng and Yu Qing?"
The woman in the yellow robe chuckled and said, "Whether it is or not, we'll soon find out. Why be in such a hurry, Granny?"
Suddenly someone shouted, "Look! Someone jumped!"
Buzz!
Ten people jumped off a flying boat and rushed towards the ruins on the mountaintop, clearly having heard Yang Zhen's words.
"Who, whose flying boat is that?"
"It's Wan Jian and his group. It's said that Yue Yazi was so angry with Yang Zhen that she stomped her feet. Now, if Yang Zhen encounters Yue Yazi and Wan Jian, he'll definitely be in a terrible state. He probably won't even be able to die easily."
" Wan Jian's flying boat?" someone exclaimed in surprise, then excitedly added, "Isn't that the team Luo Guangcheng and Yu Qing are with?"
Upon hearing the names Luo Guangcheng and Yu Qing, everyone exclaimed in surprise. Clearly, Luo Guangcheng and Yu Qing's reputations were in no way inferior to that boastful Yang Zhen.
Buzz!
Another buzzing sound came, and ten people jumped out of another airship. Before everyone could cry out in surprise, two more airships rushed towards the ruins on the mountaintop.
"Damn it, Yang Zhen is really asking for trouble! So many people have jumped off the mountaintop ruins. If Yang Zhen dares to jump off the mountaintop ruins, he'll definitely be surrounded."
Which flying boat is Yang Zhen's?
"See that blue one? That's it, we're almost at the mountaintop ruins."
"Forty people from four airships have already jumped into the ruins on the mountaintop. If Yang Zhen and the others go down too, wouldn't that mean a chaotic battle involving fifty people?"
"Huh? Yang Zhen's flying boat... Damn it, what a shameless bastard! They didn't even jump?"
"Quickly, Granny, switch the Heaven-Observing Mirror to Yang Zhen's flying boat."
The woman in the yellow robe had a glint in her eyes as she stared intently at the flying boat where Yang Zhen was. Before long, voices came from inside the flying boat.
"What do you know? Let them jump. I said they'd be Sage of Saunter if they didn't, not that I'd Sage of Saunter coward if I didn't jump. So many people have jumped; it must be extremely dangerous. To recklessly follow suit at this point isn't bravery, it's idiocy!"
Everyone: "..."
The entire Jade Pool Holy Land was completely silent under the Heaven-Observing Mirror. Everyone stared blankly at the flying boat where Yang Zhen was, stunned by Yang Zhen's righteous words.
Damn it! Yang Zhen said such shameless things so eloquently; how thick-skinned is this guy?
The woman in yellow suddenly giggled, glancing at the flying boat where Yang Zhen was. Her eyes sparkled with unusual wit, and she muttered to herself, "What a shameless fellow, how could he say such a thing?"
Before the crowd could angrily berate Yang Zhen for being shameless, Yang Zhen's voice rang out again. "What kind of looks are those? If you're not happy, jump down yourselves! There's a wise saying in our village, and it seems it's time to tell you."
"What profound saying?" Yun La's voice came, seemingly... seriously considering Yang Zhen's suggestion.
Yang Zhen's voice came through, saying bluntly, "Focus on farming in the jungle, don't be reckless!"
"You..." Song Chong sneered, " Yang Zhen, how could you be so shameless? You tricked them all into coming to the ruins on the mountaintop, but you didn't jump in yourself. What face do you have to participate in the Jade Pool Grand Assembly?"
Yang Zhen said nonchalantly, "Young man, you're still too green. Do you think that woman, the one who possesses beauty, wisdom, talent, and figure— the Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool Holy Land —would think that you'd be so brave as to go down there and get beaten black and blue, and then she'd give you a chance to pass the test?"
"Of course not!"
"That settles it then. Only those who survive to the end are the true winners. That's the essence of battle royale games. Fine, do whatever you want. This Sage of Saunter is going to farm in the jungle and head out first..."
" Yang Zhen, you..."
Everyone gasped in surprise as Yang Zhen leaped off the flying boat.
Only a few people at the head of the group exchanged bewildered glances, especially the woman in yellow, whose face flickered with surprise and uncertainty. She muttered to herself, "A woman who combines beauty, intelligence, talent, and figure... That bastard Yang Zhen, could he know that the Holy Land can hear him?"
In the crowd, the Shameless Cat pricked up its ears, its face filled with Celestial Person, and muttered, "Damn, that Kid Yang is a real talent. What is flattery? This is real flattery! This flattery is flawless, absolutely brilliant."
