Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

And tonight.

What happened in Jiuwanlou.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire Jiuwan City.

The story of how the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect suffered a setback at the hands of Gu Chen, the head of the Night Watch.

It will probably be exaggerated and spread around.

After all, news about top-tier figures always generates considerable buzz whenever it appears.

The face of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

A lot was lost by Wu Fa and others.

Meanwhile, two other people came to Jiuwan City specifically to challenge Gu Chen.

Huang Jinyu, the young leader of the mining gang, and Feng Yuan, the young master of the Feng family, also learned of this news.

They now knew how terrifying Gu Chen was.

Gu Chen was able to defeat a tiger demon who had reached the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

I'm afraid there's nothing to rely on external things.

He relied on his own true abilities.

However, they believe they are not weak either.

If he were to face a tiger demon at the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm, he might be able to defeat it just like Gu Chen did.

I'm even more excited to challenge Gu Chen.

at this time.

Liu Chen and his companions stayed at an inn in Jiuwan City.

Liu Chen immediately sent a message to Feidu Peak of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Have the Qingyun Sword Sect send two senior experts back from Feidu Peak.

They had to get their revenge on Gu Chen.

The next day.

Gu Chen was refining pills in his mansion.

Immediately, night watch personnel came to inform them.

Two guards arrived.

As soon as he entered, he said to Gu Chen, "Sir, two groups of people have arrived outside our Night Watch Division. The leaders are two geniuses on the Heavenly Pride Ranking. They say they've come to challenge you, sir."

"The geniuses on the Prodigy Ranking, huh?" Gu Chen muttered to himself, replying as he refined pills, "Tell them I'm busy today."

"I will go to meet the challenge tomorrow," Gu Chen said. "And you should tell all the other geniuses on the Heavenly Pride Ranking in Jiuwan City who want to challenge me that I only have time to fight tomorrow. Let them form teams and come together. I will meet their challenge at the martial arts arena in Jiuwan City. After tomorrow, I will not accept any challenge from anyone."

Thinking back to the information Fang Zhoujin had given him earlier, and the Qingyun Sword Sect disciples who appeared last night.

Now, all the top talents on the Prodigy Ranking who want to challenge him have probably arrived.

They will take on the challenge one or two at a time, in batches.

He was annoyed, as it affected his alchemy.

Let's just set a time for them.

Let them team up.

They were all defeated in one fell swoop with overwhelming force.

To avoid having any more arrogant people bothering him every day in the future.

"Yes, sir." The two guards left.

soon.

Outside the Night Watch of Jiuwan City.

Upon arriving at this location to wait, the two guards went to inform Huang Jinyu and Feng Yuan, two of Gu Chen's top geniuses on the Prodigy Ranking. They then received a message from the two guards: "Our director said he doesn't have time today and will accept your challenge tomorrow."

"Furthermore, our director also said that you should inform the other geniuses on the Prodigy Ranking who came to Jiuwan City this time that if they want to challenge him, they should come to the Jiuwan City Martial Arts Arena tomorrow. He only has time tomorrow, and we won't wait for them after that."

Listening to the two guards' answers.

Feng Yuan, Huang Jinyu, and their underlings all had their brows furrowed.

Gu Chen has quite the airs and tone.

He completely disregards the geniuses ranked lower than him on their list of prodigies.

We set a time for them and had them come as a team.

It seems they want to eliminate them all at once.

To avoid them coming to challenge me one by one and affecting my chances.

"Young Master, this Gu Chen is far too arrogant. He doesn't take us seriously at all," a member of the Mining Gang said to Huang Jinyu.

"They actually want our young master to team up with other geniuses to challenge them tomorrow. Do they really think they're invincible just because they defeated a tiger demon at the fifth level of the Innate Realm? They don't take the other geniuses on the Genius Ranking seriously." A servant next to Feng Yuan sneered.

Huang Jinyu and Feng Yuan remained silent.

A moment later, he left with his men.

Since Gu Chen will not accept their challenge today.

Let's choose to face their challenges together tomorrow.

Then let them come again tomorrow.

They'll see.

What virtue or ability does Gu Chen possess to dare to be so arrogant?

They dared to win against them all at once.

What happened here.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire Jiuwan City.

Gu Chen, the head of the Night Watch, a prodigy ranked 500th on the Prodigy Ranking, spoke out directly.

Tomorrow we will face together all the other prodigies on the Prodigy Ranking who have come to Nine Bays City to challenge him during this period.

Such spirit!

This has attracted the attention of the entire city's residents and influential figures.

Tomorrow's battle will be fought.

It will definitely receive a lot of attention.

If he wins, Gu Chen will be able to solidify his title as the number one person below the True Essence Realm.

If he loses, Gu Chen will become a laughing stock, and his prestige in Jiuwan City will also decline.

After all, he was the one who first declared that he would take on all the prodigies in one fell swoop.

She wanted to pretend to have big breasts.

If I win, that's fine; if I lose, then I'm not trying to show off.

Instead, he pooped a huge one!

Here in Coldwind Valley.

The inn where Ye Xuemei and the other disciples of Cold Wind Valley were staying.

Ye Xuemei seemed thoughtful upon receiving this news.

Gu Chen actually chose to do this, wanting to face all the geniuses who came to challenge him this time in one fell swoop.

Is he genuinely confident in himself, or is he simply trying to show off?

If we lose then.

Gu Chen was utterly humiliated.

Gu Chen might really be very confident in her abilities, but so was she.

She came back from Jiuwanlou last night.

I have some insights to share.

The bottleneck in the realm has loosened.

This allowed her to directly step into the half-step True Essence Realm.

Their strength has improved considerably.

She felt more confident about dealing with Gu Chen.

Meanwhile, Liu Chen...

He also gained something.

Perhaps he was provoked by Gu Chen.

He had long since reached the bottleneck of the half-step True Essence Realm.

He had prepared plenty of elixirs.

Perhaps we can press on and achieve our goal before tomorrow.

Breakthrough to the early stage of True Essence Realm.

At that time, he will defeat Gu Chen with overwhelming force.

In front of all the forces and people of Jiuwan City, Gu Chen was humiliated and made to pay for injuring his Qingyun Sword Sect disciple and insulting the reputation of his Qingyun Sword Sect last night.

Apologize publicly!

He has already sent a message back to Feidu Peak of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Today, two powerful senior disciples from the Qingyun Sword Sect's Feidu Peak will arrive.

If Gu Chen loses tomorrow, he doesn't want to apologize to the Qingyun Sword Sect.

If he tries to act arrogantly using the name of the Night Watch, his two senior uncles will teach Gu Chen a lesson.

This matter was generating a lot of buzz throughout Jiuwan City.

Outside Jiuwan City, on Iron Reef Island.

A sixth-rank expert from the Yamamoto family of an island nation, accompanied by two seventh-rank experts from the same family, arrived on the island.

Some time ago, the Yamamoto family sent a mid-stage True Essence Realm expert, Yamamoto Juichi, to trade with this group of pirates.

Several days passed, and the person still hadn't returned.

The family suspected that something might have happened to Yamamoto Juichi, and now they have sent three of the family's strongest members to check on him.

On Iron Reef Island.

The three powerful members of the Yamamoto family who came to investigate saw the corpses of Yamamoto Juichi and several other Yamamoto family experts.

His face looked pale.

Yamamoto Juichi and others were indeed killed.

And so are the pirates on the entire Iron Reef Island.

The island was also emptied of supplies.

It was the forces on the side of the Divine Dynasty that did it.

"Investigate! We must find the mastermind behind this and avenge Yamamoto Eleven!" Yamamoto Okamura, a sixth-rank expert from the Yamamoto family, said coldly.

A master capable of killing Yamamoto Juichi must be at least at the late True Essence Realm or even at the Perfection Realm.

The closest city of the Divine Dynasty to Iron Reef Island is Jiuwan City in Yuehai County.

With such a large group of pirates wiped out, the forces in Jiuwan City will surely find out the clues.

They must have been able to uncover some clues through their past investigations.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

In the heart of Jiuwan City, on the largest martial arts arena.

It was overcrowded.

The news released by Gu Chen yesterday.

He will be here to meet the challenge from a group of prodigies who have come to Jiuwan City to challenge him.

All the forces, organizations, and families within Jiuwan City had long since gathered here.

There were also some other people in the city.

Just to see if Gu Chen can single-handedly defeat all those who challenge him today.

Or they were defeated by others and their ranking was overtaken.

In the audience seats.

Feng Yuan, the city lord of Jiuwan City, along with two deputy city lords and other officials from the city lord's mansion, had already arrived.

Interestingly, Feng Yuan, the city lord of Jiuwan City, shares the same name as Feng Yuan, the young master of the Feng family in Zhenshi County, who is one of the prodigies who came to challenge Gu Chen this time.

The two are not related and are not from the same clan; they simply share the same name.

Besides City Lord Feng Yuan, Pi Kaikai, the commander of the Nine Bays City Guard, along with two deputy commanders and some guard captains, also arrived.

In addition, Fang Zhoujin, the head of the Inspection Department, and a group of members of the Inspection Department, as well as Shen Zhuang, the head of the Divine Garment Department, and other members of the Divine Garment Department.

They wouldn't miss such a battle between the prodigies on the Prodigy Ranking, especially since one of them was the Chief of the Night Watch of Nine Bays City, their colleague. They were even more determined to come and watch the battle and cheer for Gu Chen.

Besides.

Executives from the Yu family, Zhu family, Qiao family, Tianwan Gang, Sihai Chamber of Commerce, and Liuyun Chamber of Commerce also arrived.

They belong to the forces in Jiuwan City, and are also among the forces that are on good terms with Gu Chen. They came here specifically to cheer for Gu Chen.

They came to cheer on Gu Chen.

Also present were the manager of Jiuwanlou and a group of Jiuwanlou staff.

The night before last, Liu Chen led a group of Qingyun Sword Sect disciples to cause trouble at Jiuwan Tower.

They even injured their shopkeeper, although the two who caused trouble later had already been taught a lesson by Gu Chen.

However, the ringleader, Liu Chen, was not punished that day.

Today, he is also one of those who challenge Gu Chen.

They only hoped that Gu Chen would teach Liu Chen a lesson later and make him lose face in front of everyone.

Let's see if these spoiled brats from top-tier organizations will still dare to be arrogant when they come out in the future.

On the Qingyun Sword Sect's side.

Two powerful figures of the same generation as Liu Chen have arrived from the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Both of them had a cultivation level of Rank 5.

They came specifically to deal with Gu Chen's previous public injury of a Qingyun Sword Sect disciple and his insult to the Qingyun Sword Sect's reputation.

Looking at Gu Chen in the arena.

Yu Chifeng, a senior uncle of Liu Chen from the Qingyun Sword Sect, spoke up: "Well, Nephew Liu Chen, are you confident in defeating him?"

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, everything will be perfect," Liu Chen replied confidently.

"That's good." Tian Lie, another senior uncle of Liu Chen from the Qingyun Sword Sect, said, "This brat used his position as the head of the Night Watch to injure our two disciples in public. He's truly hateful. When you strike, make sure he can't get out of bed for a few months. Let's see if he dares to be arrogant again."

The night before last, in Jiuwan Tower, the two Qingyun Sword Sect disciples Wu Fa and Situ Yu who were injured by Gu Chen were his and Yu Chi Feng's disciples.

So as soon as they received the news from the Qingyun Sword Sect, the two of them rushed over.

First, it was to boost Liu Chen's morale.

Secondly, they came to seek justice for their disciples and to restore face for the Qingyun Sword Sect's Feidu Peak.

Over at Coldwind Valley.

Ye Xuemei's eyes were full of confidence.

She has stabilized her newly reached half-step True Essence Realm, and today she will defeat Gu Chen to become the number one person below the True Essence Realm.

On the Night Watch side.

Liang Xiaoyun, Lin Fei, and a group of Night Watch members stood behind Gu Chen, waving flags to cheer him on.

Today, they finally have the opportunity to witness their director display his divine power and suppress the other geniuses on the list of geniuses.

A few days ago, the list of the most outstanding talents was released.

They were surprised to find that their own director had made it into the top 500.

They were all filled with pride.

Although they didn't make it onto the list themselves, it was their chief who made it. One person's ranking brings glory to the entire Night Watch Division of Jiuwan City.

They were naturally excited.

According to the list of prodigies that introduced their director's battle record, he once defeated a mutated bloodline tiger demon who had reached the fifth level of the Innate Realm and possessed the combat power of the early True Essence Realm.

They had never witnessed Gu Chen make a move before, and today their chance had finally arrived.

In the training ground.

Gu Chen slowly approached the center.

He looked at the several prodigies who had come to challenge him and said, "Who wants to go first!"

This time, they've come to challenge his prodigy.

There are four in total.

Huang Jinyu, the young leader of the Mining Gang; Feng Yuan, the young master of the Feng family; Ye Xuemei of Hanfeng Valley; and Liu Chen of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"I'll go first." (Mining crew area)

Golden Feather, the young leader of the Mining Gang, stepped forward.
