Even Old Master and Gongye Long, the grandfather of Gongye Hong, thought Wei Chen had gone mad. If he wasn't insane, how could he say such things?
"What on earth is Wei Chen trying to do? Does he really think he can handle Qian Youshi?" Gongye Long glared at Wei Chen in the distance, feeling an overwhelming urge to slap him. This was utterly ridiculous! Even if Qian Youshi were to give Wei Chen three chances, it wouldn't matter; Wei Chen would still be helpless against him!
Old Master replied calmly, "Let him play however he wants. As long as we keep a close watch and ensure he doesn't die, that's all that matters."
"He's not going to die, is he? No matter how deranged Qian Youshi is, he wouldn't kill Wei Chen. He can't afford that kind of consequence," Gongye Long said, worry etched across his face.
Old Master responded, "It seems unlikely now, but you know what Qian Youshi is like. When it comes to real combat, if he goes mad, he won't care about the opponent's identity."
Gongye Long fell silent. He was well aware of Qian Youshi's notorious history; those who fought against him typically had only one outcome—death.
Qian Youshi had a notoriously bad temper. If provoked during battle, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate his opponent regardless of their status. This had caused considerable trouble for Zongyu Palace and gradually wore down Old Master and Gongye Long's patience until they finally accepted him under the command of Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master. In fact, initially, Qian Youshi had no faction within Zongyu Palace; he fought alone and did not align with anyone.
While Old Master and Gongye Long were shocked, Gongye Hong was anxious. She looked at Wei Chen with concern and thought to herself, "What gives Wei Chen such confidence? No matter how I look at it, there's no way he can defeat Qian Youshi!"
Gongye Hong couldn't fathom where Wei Chen's confidence came from. In every aspect of comparison, his strength simply couldn't match Qian Youshi's, let alone withstand three moves from him.
The crowd erupted in astonishment. Was Wei Chen out of his mind?
"What happened to Wei Chen? Is the Fifth Young Master of Duke Sui's Residence actually a hidden master?"
"Exactly! Since he dares to act this way, he must have some confidence behind him. Otherwise, facing a Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle like Qian Youshi, he wouldn't be so reckless."
"But the problem is, it looks like he's only at the Secondary God level at best; he probably won't even surpass Third-Level Deity. There's no comparison."
"But have you all forgotten? Wei Chen made Elder Liu suffer quite a bit."
"Come on, do you really believe that? Elder Liu doesn't have a good reputation in the Temple of Martial Arts, so when he got injured, everyone jumped at the chance to mock him. In reality, while Wei Chen did manage to hurt Elder Liu a little, the truth is that Wei Chen was almost dead himself. If it weren't for the Master of the Hall, the Left Envoy, and the Grand Elder working together to save him, do you think he would still have the chance to act so arrogantly here?"
"That's right. Although we don't like Elder Liu, he is one of our own in the Temple of Martial Arts. We can't just turn our backs and support Wei Chen."
"That's not going to happen. We want to support Wei Chen, but does he even have the strength?"
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Wei Chen, who was at the center of the storm, remained remarkably calm.
A mocking expression appeared on his face as he looked at Qian Youshi with a gaze that was cold and filled with provocation.
Surprisingly, Qian Youshi did not get angry. He looked at Wei Chen with a cold smile and said, "You want to give me three moves? Have you taken something that’s made you lose your mind?"
"You'll find out soon enough if I've lost my mind. Stop talking nonsense and make your move," Wei Chen replied with a cold laugh.
"Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose? You giving me three moves? Ha! You're taking this too seriously. Enough with the delays; I'll let you have three moves without fighting back. After that, I only need one move to win against you."
Wei Chen's tone was bold, but Qian Youshi's demeanor was even more disdainful. He looked down on Wei Chen completely, believing that Wei Chen was merely bluffing and posed no real threat to him.
It was understandable; after all, Wei Chen's strength truly seemed lacking!
Without using Stellar Power, Wei Chen really wasn't a match for Qian Youshi. Was he really determined to reveal his trump card?
It was impossible.
No one knew what Wei Chen was planning, and everyone was speculating about what kind of scheme he had up his sleeve. Almost everyone believed that Wei Chen was just putting on a show, completely lacking the ability to confront Qian Youshi. Even Old Master, who understood Wei Chen the best, thought the same way. After all, it was unlikely that Wei Chen would reveal his Stellar Technique so early; that was his true trump card. He needed to wait until he had spent some time in the Endless Divine Realm, where the power of the Stellar Technique could be infinitely activated, becoming an "Intruder" from ancient times.
Wei Chen looked at Qian Youshi and smiled lightly. "Qian Youshi, are you sure you want to give me three moves?"
"Stop talking nonsense. A man must keep his word. If I give you three moves, do you really think you'll see even a glimmer of hope?"
Qian Youshi sneered at Wei Chen, showing no respect for him at all. In his view, it was certain that Wei Chen was just bluffing and posed no threat to him.
"Very well, you asked for it. My formation will show no mercy."
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Wei Chen's mouth. In the next moment, he flashed forward and charged fiercely at Qian Youshi.
Qian Youshi activated a sphere of Divine Power to protect himself, completely unconcerned about Wei Chen's attack.
All eyes were fixed intently on Wei Chen.
In an instant, their brows furrowed tightly.
Wei Chen suddenly stopped a dozen meters away from Qian Youshi.
Then they saw a Phantom swirling rapidly around Qian Youshi.
That was Wei Chen!
The speed was so intense that all that remained were the lingering Phantoms, making it nearly impossible for anyone to discern where Wei Chen truly was. The crowd could only rely on their Mental Strength to sense which one was the real Wei Chen and which was merely a Phantom.
In that brief moment, the atmosphere grew strange as everyone wondered if Wei Chen intended to catch them off guard with such tactics. Could Qian Youshi, with such formidable strength, really be unable to distinguish the real Wei Chen? It seemed absurd.
"What is that guy thinking? Qian Youshi has already locked onto his Mental Strength; what can he achieve by playing like this?"
"Yeah, has he lost his mind? This isn't how you scramble for a solution when you're in trouble."
"Who knows? What if he has some hidden tricks up his sleeve?"
"We're just spectators here. Regardless of who wins or loses in this duel, it won't harm us at all. If Wei Chen loses, it's embarrassing for Duke Sui's Residence; if Qian Youshi loses, it's his own shame. We're not part of Qian Youshi's or Yue Songyang's faction, so we don't need to worry too much."
"It's just dogs fighting over scraps; we're here to watch the show."
Under everyone's watchful gaze, Wei Chen continued to circle around Qian Youshi, who was fixated on the true form of Wei Chen, giving him no chance whatsoever.
But there’s a saying: opportunities are created by people, aren’t they?
What exactly was Wei Chen doing? No one could tell.
Old Master and Gongye Long the Elder gradually began to notice something unusual. As powerful Sixth Level Divine Realm experts, their sensitivity to energy surpassed even that of Qian Youshi.
"Master of the Hall, something feels off. I sense that Wei Chen isn’t looking for a defensive flaw in Qian Youshi; he’s setting up a formation!" Gongye Long said with a furrowed brow.
Old Master chuckled, "What does it matter? As long as he can defeat Qian Youshi and help our faction suppress Yue Songyang, it would be extremely beneficial for us."
The Old Master pointed at the ordinary disciples of the Temple of Martial Arts and said, "Look at them; many are neutral and do not participate in the conflict between our two factions. Our faction has no more members than those from Yue Songyang's sect. As long as Wei Chen can defeat Qian Youshi in front of so many witnesses, the prestige of both Yue Songyang and Qian Youshi will undoubtedly suffer a severe blow. At that time, they might lean towards our faction, and that would be our great opportunity."
"That's true. Yue Songyang has become increasingly arrogant lately, even openly going to Winning the Qin Divine Realm in an attempt to recruit outside forces. Such actions are something our Temple of Martial Arts cannot tolerate."
"Yes, Yue Songyang's actions have already angered the Hidden Elders. Once they awaken, we can deal with Yue Songyang. By then, with the Hidden Elders on our side, Yue Songyang will have no way out."
"There are still a few among the Hidden Elders who support Yue Songyang..." Gongye Long expressed his concerns.
The Old Master smiled and said, "No need to worry about that. As long as we achieve victory, we will gain power. The rest will be dealt with as it comes; after all, as the saying goes, when soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it. For now, let's see if Wei Chen from the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System can help us."
"Master of the Hall, do you really believe that Wei Chen can defeat the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and seize the Kunlun Mirror?" Gongye Long frowned, expressing his disbelief.
The Old Master pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't know; we'll see how it goes. We have our people on the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming's side as well. When Wei Chen makes his move, we cannot remain idle."
"Master of the Hall, news has just come from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming's side that the selection conference at Bloodshed Shop is about to begin. The plan for the Eighteen Divine Realms to send troops against the Ancient World has already been shelved," Gongye Long informed.
"Oh? When did this news arrive?" The Old Master looked at Gongye Long with some dissatisfaction; such an important matter should have been reported sooner.
"Just now; I received a message from a spy," Gongye Long quickly explained, clarifying that he had no intention of withholding information.
