Chapter 695: Chapter 692: Regional Differences?_1
Without a doubt, Fu Qingqing was strong, and so was He Guang. However, this was not a reason for him to retreat or be afraid. Since he had promised to help Li Ruoxiang, there was no doubt that he would take responsibility for the three victories without anyone’s help.
Li Ruoxiang looked deeply into Yang Chen’s eyes and could see that he was still full of confidence.
Since that was the case, she decided to let the young man take charge.
She suddenly realized that when Yang Chen stood up like this, his posture and pace were quite charming.
“It’s you!”
“Yang Chen!”
Yang Chen was surprised to see He Guang and Fu Qingqing, and similarly, they were also surprised to see him.
Of course, their surprise was slightly different from Yang Chen’s, as they didn’t find it strange for him to appear within the Green Lotus Sect.
The two of them had come all the way to the Western 42 Regions, intending to return to their hometown and inform their master about their results and Yang Chen’s possession of the Starfire Strange Fire. However, they happened to encounter the assistance of the Wood Dragon City and Demon Subduing Sect.
There was some connection between their master and these two forces, so they naturally wanted to stay and help.
They were quite familiar with the Green Lotus Sect, and they knew that the strongest genius in the sect was none other than Qingyin. As for Yang Chen, he was only at the Yuanwu Realm Fifth Layer, so where could he make a difference? Therefore, they gladly accepted this opportunity.
But who could have imagined that Yang Chen would be the one to appear now?
No wonder they were surprised; they had already left with Mu Zhijiao in bad terms before Yang Chen came out of the Trial Tower, so they naturally didn’t know that he had already reached the Eighth Layer of Elemental Martial Realm within the Trial Tower.
How could they imagine that Yang Chen’s martial arts strength hadn’t even passed through the Primal Martial Realm’s Trial Tower? If they knew, they would surely be shocked.
“So it was you.” He Guang’s expression was unhappy, as he still couldn’t let go of the fact that Yang Chen had won against him in the Trial Tower.
“Brother He Guang, do you know this kid?” Huyan Shun couldn’t help but ask.
“Met him once, but it doesn’t matter. Uncle Huyan, don’t worry about it.” As these words fell, He Guang looked at Yang Chen and said, “What? Yang Chen, is the Green Lotus Sect using you as cannon fodder? Where’s the Qinglian Saintess? Why didn’t they send her instead?”
Yang Chen grinned and slowly replied, “I don’t know if I’m cannon fodder. But I do know that Brother He seemed to have lost to me once. If I’m cannon fodder, then what are you? Something even worse than cannon fodder?”
Hearing Yang Chen’s words, He Guang became even angrier.
Yang Chen was clearly telling him that he had lost to him.
He didn’t want his loss to be mentioned by anyone, and now that Yang Chen brought it up again, he was furious and said viciously, “Yang Chen, it seems like you think too highly of yourself. So what if you got lucky and won against me in the Trial Tower? Does that mean you’re really stronger than me? That just means that your methods are more suitable for the Trial Tower and can’t prove anything else. I’ll soon show you how foolish it is to judge a person’s abilities by their performance in the Trial Tower.”
Yang Chen shook his head gently upon hearing this.
Some people were just like that; if you defeated them, they would tell you that they were just not good at that specific domain, then challenge you in another domain, always pestering you endlessly.
Yang Chen didn’t want to get entangled with He Guang, but now he had no choice.
“Senior Brother, there’s no need for you to take action against this kid!” Fu Qingqing said. “You just watch, I’ll take care of him!”
Hearing his junior sister’s words, He Guang thought she was being considerate and said kindly, “Very well, Junior Sister, I’ll leave this kid to you for now. Teach him a good lesson about the gap between you two!”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I’ll teach this kid a lesson and show him how vast the world is! Just a top genius from the Eastern Region, and he’s already full of himself.” Fu Qingqing sneered coldly.
She volunteered to confront Yang Chen on behalf of her senior brother, not because she was considerate, but because she wanted to kill Yang Chen on the spot!
Kill Yang Chen, seize the Starfire Strange Fire…
By the time that happens, she could just walk away, and all the credit for obtaining the Starfire Strange Fire would belong to Fu Qingqing alone.
As for He Guang? She couldn’t care less.
Fu Qingqing had always been concerned only about her own achievements!
It was just a pity that He Guang was still foolish and didn’t know any of this. From his perspective, she was a considerate, gentle, and understanding junior sister.
At this moment, Fu Qingqing stepped forward and said slowly, “Yang Chen, I advise you to surrender and admit defeat. It’s true that your talent is quite good, and you rightfully deserve the title of Eastern Number One Genius. However, I want to tell you that there are always people better than you, and the strength of our Western Region is beyond your imagination. Like a frog at the bottom of a well, the best choice when facing those of us from outside the well is to surrender and admit defeat!”
“So you mean that when we Easterners meet you Westerners, we must admit defeat?” Yang Chen asked.
“Hmph, you got my point. Yes, that’s what I mean. With your Eastern Region’s cultivation environment and lack of resources, how can you compare to the Western Region? Your region is just a forgotten place!” Fu Qingqing sneered.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen revealed an angry cold smile.
He had seen many people who had a sense of superiority based on their region.
But he had never seen someone like Fu Qingqing, who practically wore her superiority on her forehead.
What was even more important was that Fu Qingqing knew nothing and was completely clueless.
On the contrary, her words made the people from Wood Dragon City and the Demon Subduing Sect nod in agreement.
“Exactly, the so-called geniuses from the Eastern Region, huh, I’ve seen many, and they’re all garbage. They have to bow their heads when they meet our Western geniuses. Their cultivation environment is no good, their people are no good, and they have nothing. They’re just remote and lack resources, no different from frogs at the bottom of a well.”
“The Eastern 36 Regions are simply inferior to us. They are naturally shorter than us in the Western Region!”
Hearing these words, the female disciples of the Green Lotus Sect turned red with anger, gritted their teeth, and shouted, “You… you!”
They wanted to refute, but they had nothing to say and didn’t know how to refute.
It was true that in terms of resources and cultivation environment, they were far behind. This made the Eastern 36 Regions seem naturally disadvantaged when compared to others.
