Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Chapter 296 Competition

"Master Chen Jiang."

"Hello, Master Chen."

When Jiang Chen arrived at the Kou family in Fengyan City, he encountered many of the Kou family's personal guards, all of whom were extremely enthusiastic.

After a period of time, the fact that Jiang Chen killed three star-level experts by himself became known to more and more people.

The attitude towards a master who is almost at the peak of the Star Realm is completely different from the attitude towards someone who is only at the mid-stage of the Star Realm.

Under the flattery of the guards, Jiang Chen calmly entered the library hall.

During this period, he often came to look at the books on these three floors. These basic books are normal for other people, but Jiang Chen felt that the more familiar he was with them, the better.

As for cultivation books, he simply ignored them.

"Wow, look, look! Master Shan Yin has come!"

"It's Shan Yin, he's here!"

Many people saw an ugly old man with a full head of white hair also arrive at the Kou family's ancestral land.

He was also one of Koo's mentors, so naturally he had no trouble getting around.

"interesting."

"Master Chen, you just showed up not long ago, and Shan Yin has already arrived."

"Just wait and see, there might be a big battle later."

Despite the noise outside, Jiang Chen patiently perused the books in the Sutra Repository.

For him, these struggles were trivial matters; what mattered most was studying the fundamental rules of the world and figuring out how to complete tasks faster and better.

A few days later, Jiang Chen came out of the Sutra Repository again. As soon as he came out, he saw the person he had been looking for but had never had the time to find.

Shan Yin.

Shan Yin is ranked among the top ten instructors in the entire Kou Clan, making him a fairly strong peak-level star.

While peak star level is not bad, this is the Kou family. The family head is already at the Heaven level, and there are more than twenty peak star level instructors under the Demon realm!

Shan Yin is one of the top ten.

The difference between Heaven-level (Cosmic-level) and Star-level Peak (Eternal-level Peak) is too great; it's like ascending to heaven in one step. Under normal circumstances, ten Star-level Peak experts would probably only be able to entangle with one expert who has just broken through to Heaven-level for a short while.

If it goes on for a long time, then it's basically lucky if you don't die.

"Hahaha."

Shan Yin stood up with a loud laugh, looking at Jiang Chen with a sly smile: "I've long heard that another ascendant has arrived from my Kou clan. Seeing Master Chen today, he is indeed extraordinary."

"Quite extraordinary," a middle-aged man in white robes chuckled. "To be able to easily wipe out your three underlings, he can't be just an ordinary expert."

Shan Yin's expression stiffened slightly.

Jiang Chen looked at the middle-aged man in white robes beside him and smiled, "Master Yin Zhe?"

Yin Zhe was also a mentor in the Kou clan, a peak-level star, ranked slightly higher than Shan Yin.

"Oh, Master Chen actually recognizes me?" the middle-aged man in white robes exclaimed in surprise. "Looks like you're quite well-informed."

"I can't be unaware of Yin Zhe's great reputation," Jiang Chen said with a slight smile.

"Master Chen Jiang," said the hoarse voice of the ugly, white-haired old man, Shan Yin, "my three young men went to seek his guidance. I wonder if they are still alive?"

Everything around us fell silent.

No one else dared to interrupt, and even Yin Zhe watched the spectacle from the sidelines.

"Hmph." Jiang Chen looked at him with interest. "I'm a very simple person. If others don't provoke me, I won't provoke them for no reason."

"Those who want to kill me have no reason to let me live."

Shan Yin frowned slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Oh, then I'll have to see just how strong Master Chen really is."

How about we have a little competition?

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

Many of the onlookers showed delight; they were naturally looking forward to a duel between two top masters. They had all come here specifically to see these two experts clash.

"It seems that Shan Yin is too cautious," Jiang Chen thought to himself. "He didn't dare to deal with me before, but instead had a sparring match within the Kou family."

Those three little guys went to ambush me, but I wiped them out.

If Shan Yin had acted immediately and Jiang Chen had retaliated, a fierce battle would have ensued, and it would have been normal for one side to fall.

Within the Kou family, fighting is forbidden. Even sparring must take place on a specific battle platform. The purpose of the sparring is only to determine the winner, and killing is prohibited.

Jiang Chen really didn't want to kill someone openly. It would disrupt his low-key plans, and besides, the Kou family had treated him fairly well, so he didn't want to deliberately violate their rules.

"Shan Yin probably wasn't confident, which is why he challenged me to a duel within the Kou family. If he felt he could kill me after the duel, he'll likely make his move secretly soon after leaving the Kou family, right?"

Jiang Chen chuckled inwardly. He didn't take Shan Yin seriously. He came to this world mainly for missions and cultivation.

The entire Koo family was in an uproar.

"Quickly, at the battle platform atop Kou Mountain, Shan Yin is about to fight Master Chen Jiang."

"Don't miss it, go check it out!"

"After suffering a great loss, Shan Yin is finally going to make his move."

Upon receiving the news, many members of the Kou clan rushed to the "mountaintop battle arena," a place the Kou clan used for sparring and competition.

Meanwhile, in one of the beautiful gardens of the Koo family.

A fair-skinned young man was walking side by side with a woman in a dark blue robe, who was none other than 'Kona'.

"Little sister," the young man said in a low voice, "are you still angry?"

"No, I will listen to Father, and to my eldest and second brothers," Kona said softly.

The young man gently shook his head: "It is indeed my incompetence that I arranged for you to marry the seventh young master of Mulan City this time."

"Stop talking. I don't blame Father, nor do I blame you, my eldest and second brothers." Kona turned to look at her second brother. "Actually, seeing all the fighting and killing in the city, seeing people risking their lives in the forest, I know that this world is a dog-eat-dog world."

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Second brother, when are you leaving for Mulan City?"

"We're still preparing," Kou Fengjin said. "We need to prepare many gifts and find a way to reach an agreement on this matter."

"Alas, although I'm suggesting you marry that seventh young master, it's still uncertain whether they'll agree."

Coco nodded slightly and gave a self-deprecating smile: "Yeah, it's not certain yet."

She actively wants to marry him, but others might not necessarily accept her.

Tragic yet helpless, she had no choice but to submit for the sake of the entire Kou family.

"Hmm?" Kou Fengjin suddenly looked surprised and said, "Little sister, I just received news that Chen Jiang and Shan Yin, whom you brought back, are going to the battle platform at the top of the mountain to have a match."

"Oh? Chenjiang, Shanyin?" Kona also showed a hint of curiosity.

"Let's go, let's go take a look," Kou Fengjin said quickly.

Kona cooperated well with the operation, but she has been noticeably downcast these past few days.

Kou Fengjin also wanted to take her younger sister to watch the "competition between Chen Jiang and Shan Yin" as a way to relax.

The mountaintop battle arena.

This is a dedicated place for duels.

When Kou Fengjin brought her younger sister "Kou Na" to the mountaintop, a large number of spectators had already gathered there, numbering in the tens of thousands.

"Little sister."

When Kou Fengjin and Kou Na arrived, they heard a familiar voice. Looking over, they saw the burly Kou Tianlei sitting there in the distance.

"Big brother."

"Big brother."

They went over together.

"Sit down." Yu Fenglei looked at his younger sister with great affection, but also felt guilty.

The entire Kou family now has to rely on her sister to get through this crisis, which is truly shameful.

On the battle platform, two figures stood facing each other on opposite sides.

Shan Yin stared at Jiang Chen, his eyes narrowed, calculating in his mind.

"If he's truly powerful, losing here will only be embarrassing, not fatal!"

"If he's much weaker than me, hmph, you can't stay inside the Kou family forever, can you? When the time comes, it will be time for him to pay with his life."

Shan Yin believed he was in an invincible position, at least his life was not in danger.

Jiang Chen simply found it quite interesting to fight against the forces that bound him, using his peak Hengxing-level strength.

suddenly-·

"Brother Chen, defeat Shan Yin!" A clear voice suddenly rang out.

Jiang Chen turned his head in surprise and saw the youthful and beautiful Kona shouting loudly in the distance, with a smile on her face, seemingly very excited and expectant.

"Miss Kona, you also have the leisure to come and watch the game today?" Jiang Chen smiled and nodded at her.

Little did he know the bitterness, frustration, and helplessness that Kona felt.
