Chapter 1240: Chapter 1238 Thank You (2nd update)

Similarly experiencing an emotional rollercoaster was Huang Siyu. She had just regretted it; if Su Chen was so terrifying and even Young Master Bei couldn’t match him, hadn’t she misjudged? She had mocked Su Chen all the way, never giving him a second glance. Such a monster, and she didn’t think to approach or befriend him. What a pity, such a pity.

However, at this moment, as Young Master Bei made a crazy breakthrough and grew stronger, she got excited again. Yes, it seemed her vision and choice were not wrong.

A kid who smacked Young Master Bei with a sneak attack was merely being opportunistic, disgusting. Fortunately, she never had any thoughts about this kid with questionable character, who likes sneak attacks, all the way here.

Soon enough.

Bei Buxiu reached Su Chen.

“Tell me, why aren’t you speaking?!!!” Bei Buxiu stood in front of Su Chen, enunciating each word, his gaze sinister as if looking at the enemy who killed his father.

Yet Su Chen remained quietly indifferent.

Too lazy to argue.

The next moment…

Bei Buxiu was about to make a move.

But, in a flash, unexpectedly…

No one expected someone to appear in front of Su Chen.

Even Su Chen did not expect it.

It was Zheng Tianqiong!

It was the lone wolf known as the Blood Butcher, Zheng Tianqiong!

Zheng Tianqiong still carried a knife on one shoulder, but a trace of disdain and arrogance appeared on his face. He stared at Bei Buxiu and said, “Bei Buxiu, whatever it is, let’s talk about it on the Assessment Island. Showing off now is meaningless.”

The Yanxu Forest was in an uproar.

Was Zheng Tianqiong, the solitary and eccentric, actually stepping up? Truly unbelievable.

Those who knew Zheng Tianqiong understood he was a loner, a man whose life consisted of nothing but slaughter, a person who never had friends, much less meddled in others’ affairs. Yet…

“Zheng Tianqiong, are you trying to stop me?!” Bei Buxiu’s face turned unsightly, his teeth gritted, glaring at Zheng Tianqiong with threatening eyes, telling him that if he intervened, it would be an undying determination.

Zheng Tianqiong was indifferent; undying determination? So be it. Fear wasn’t in his vocabulary.

He stepped forth because he admired Su Chen. When Bei Buxiu attempted to bully Lin Yanran, did anyone else in the Yanxu Forest stand up?

Even Huang Chen, who clearly liked and was infatuated with Lin Yanran, didn’t dare to step forward.

Only Su Chen, not only stood up but also dramatically slapped Bei Buxiu.

This character, Zheng Tianqiong greatly admired.

So, he stepped up.

“If you want to fight, just do it. Stop with the nonsense.” Zheng Tianqiong said faintly; he had killed more people than words spoken in his life, not fond of talking.

Bei Buxiu fell silent.

Zheng Tianqiong was at the Middle Stage of the Fourth Level of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain, not easy to deal with.

Bei Buxiu, although he believed he had the strength to overpower Zheng Tianqiong, it would surely come at a great cost, possibly severe injury. With the assessment imminent, being injured would be a bad idea.

One must endure small annoyances to achieve big plans.

Therefore, Bei Buxiu hesitated.

“Hahaha… Brother Bei. Let’s talk about everything on the Assessment Island.” Just as Bei Buxiu was conflicted, a slightly frivolous, teasing laugh echoed.

Another strong character had arrived!!!

A young man in white, holding a silvery metal fan in one hand, yet bald—a unique style. His demeanor was three parts frivolous, three parts rebellious, three parts substantial, and one part teasing.

This young man’s looks weren’t precisely handsome but possessed a charm that attracted women.

Upon arrival, he became the focal point.

He was Guo Dingyang.

Peak Realm of the Third Level of the Eternal Ancient Realm, one thousand one hundred years old.

Guo Dingyang was also one of Lingji Pavilion’s predicted top ten for this Yanxu Palace assessment, similar to Bei Buxiu, Woe Lingyun, Zheng Tianqiong, among others.

Guo Dingyang was a member of the Guo Family, which was also one of the Three Palaces, Nine Sects, Eighteen Clans. But, the Guo Family’s strength belonged to the lower tiers of the First-Order Power. Comparatively, the Guo Family was similar to the Azure Underworld Sect and the Feng Family in the Black God Mountain Region.

The Guo Family was inferior to the Qingyi Sect, where Bei Buxiu belonged.

The Guo Family and Qingyi Sect were considered allies, maintaining a good relationship, naturally, with Qingyi Sect taking the lead and the Guo Family in support.

Guo Dingyang was not simple. He was the illegitimate child of the current head of the Guo Family. Yes, an illegitimate child, not a young master or anything like that. Guo Dingyang’s martial arts cultivation conditions were not good from a young age; he wasn’t even qualified to stay in the main family. It’s said that if not for luck, Guo Dingyang would have died countless times as a child. Yet, Guo Dingyang persevered all the way, explosively surpassing, seizing the first place among the Guo Family’s younger generation three hundred years ago, and rising against the odds, eventually becoming the Young Clan Leader a hundred years ago.

From Guo Dingyang’s experience, he was someone who knew how to endure, gifted, tenacious, and hence, though he seemed frivolous and rebellious, in reality, no one dared underestimate him, including Bei Buxiu, Zheng Tianqiong, and others.

“Brother Guo.” Bei Buxiu breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had already decided not to fight Zheng Tianqiong now; it wasn’t necessary. Waiting until they were at the Assessment Island was a better choice. But he couldn’t put down his pride, and Guo Dingyang’s appearance provided him a way out. Unwittingly, Bei Buxiu nodded, “Brother Guo is right.”

Bei Buxiu then glanced at Zheng Tianqiong and Su Chen, “Just wait and see. I guarantee some people will have a hard time leaving the Assessment Island.”

“Thank you.” Su Chen paid no mind to Bei Buxiu’s harsh words but looked towards Zheng Tianqiong. Regardless of whether Zheng Tianqiong’s intervention was useful for him, Su Chen appreciated the gesture.

“Hahaha… Brother Su, once we’re on the Assessment Island, let’s cooperate if there’s an opportunity,” Zheng Tianqiong laughed heartily.

“Alright.” Su Chen nodded but thought to himself that he would surely act alone on the Assessment Island. As for Guo Dingyang’s favor, if given a chance, he would return it.

Next.

Ying Tianxia, Yao Tong, and Woe Lingyun all appeared.

Also, Zhao Wusheng, Ye Kaiya, Sui Yi, and Wang Yizhan all appeared too. These four were also among Lingji Pavilion’s predicted top ten candidates.

Su Chen didn’t pay special attention to them, as they weren’t exactly at the same level.

Of course, perhaps due to his appreciation for beauty, Su Chen did glance a couple more times at Woe Lingyun. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see her appearance because she wore a veil, yet from her aura and figure, her reputation seemed well-deserved.

However, Su Chen was only slightly curious, wanting to see what the famously attractive woman looked like. As for being interested in her, that wasn’t the case.
