Chapter 1: Duan Chen

It's summer, and the sun is scorching!

The scorching sun poured down from the sky, causing the whole earth to be like a torch, the flowers and plants wilted, and all the beasts returned to their nests.

In the north courtyard of the Yunmeng Sect, in the center of a martial arts practice ground that was large enough to accommodate thousands of people, the disciples who had been practicing all morning at this time not only did not disperse early as usual, but instead all gathered together with mockery on their faces, and their voices full of contempt came out of their mouths.

"Isn't this waste so funny? Just now, he looked like a bull, but now he is pretending to be dead here, I used to regard him as an idol to revitalize our North Courtyard!"

"Alas, I can't say that, the reason why he dared to fight just now is because the head hasn't left yet, and now the head has left, then Wang Kang has just advanced to the early stage of Huayuan strength a few days ago, if he really dares to fight, he will only be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, rather than that, it is better to pretend to be dead now!"

In the midst of the crowd, some disciples pointed to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who had passed out on the ground and sneered.

At this time, Duan Chen felt a pain in his head, and his whole body was in an extremely weak state, if it weren't for the faint mockery around him, I was afraid that he would continue to choose to sleep.

"Hey, look, that kid looks like he's awake!"

When Duan Chen was enduring the discomfort of his body, and just when he was trying to open his eyes, suddenly a disciple standing in front of him shouted to the people around him.

"Huh?"

However, what Duan Chen never expected was that just as he was about to stand up, a sudden burst of dizziness actually caused his feet to slip and fall to the ground again.

"And, it's really a shameless waste, if you don't dare to fight, don't pretend to be bullshit, and now that he wakes up and falls, isn't it possible that he plans to lie on the ground for the rest of his life?"

Looking at Duan Chen, who fell to the ground again, the disciples around him who had been waiting for most of the day under the scorching sun, but still hadn't seen a good show, mocked with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Damn, now Lao Tzu's face has been lost by you!"

Listening to the mockery of the surrounding disciples, Duan Chen scolded viciously after touching the faint light mark located in the palm of his hand.

It is said that after today's practice, Wang Kang, who had long been at odds with him, actually declared in front of everyone that he wanted to teach himself a hard lesson.

For a moment, looking at Wang Kang, who had just advanced to the early stage of Huayuan, although Duan Chen knew that with his current strength of the third layer of quenching, it would not be his opponent, but the arrogance of the latter really made him a little unbearable.

Therefore, although he knew that he couldn't beat him, Duan Chen warned himself in his heart that even if he was defeated today, he would let everyone know that although he was a waster, his dignity was not wasted!

But what made him extremely angry was that just when he had just accepted Wang Kang's provocation and was about to fight with him, the light seal on his palm, which had always been stable, suddenly emitted a violent suction, and with the riot of that suction, he passed out directly to the ground.

What's even worse is that judging from the situation in front of them and the voices of everyone, all the uninformed people mistakenly thought that they deliberately pretended to be dead because they were afraid of being beaten by Wang Kang.

However, at this time, in the face of everyone's ridicule, Duan Chen wanted to turn around and leave directly after standing up again with the discomfort.

Because now, he just wants to go back quickly and study what the cause of the sudden riot of the light seal in his body is, after all, he doesn't want to have a situation like today in his future life.

As for the ridicule of the surrounding disciples, Duan Chen just smiled indifferently in his heart, and then directly chose to ignore it.

Obviously, the experience of more than two years has made his heart more calm, so the ridicule and disdain of these others at this time cannot have the slightest impact on him.

"Yo, waste, you finally don't pretend to be dead? You said that if you are afraid of being beaten, you can say it directly, why bother to pretend to be dead after agreeing, doesn't this make it seem that my Wang Kang is a little too unkind!"

However, just as Duan Chen was about to turn around and leave, suddenly Wang Kang suddenly stopped in front of him with a face full of disdain and said.

And as his words fell, those disciples around him directly let out a laugh, and the disdain in his eyes when he looked at Duan Chen couldn't help but become a little stronger.

"Why didn't you dare to say this to me two years ago? What is the difference between a person who has just broken through the third layer of the quenching body and advanced to the early stage of the transformation yuan until he is twenty years old!" Glancing at Wang Kang and Wang Kang who were blocking him, Duan Chen said disdainfully.

And as Duan Chen's words ended, a trace of disdain also appeared in the eyes of some disciples who looked at Wang Kang, it is estimated that if it weren't for the latter's cousin being the number one fierce man in the Southern Courtyard, I am afraid that someone would have started to ridicule them a long time ago.

"Hmph, I admit that two years ago you were indeed a genius who shocked the whole sect, but now you are not a waste who has been standing still for two years and has not made any progress!"

Feeling the faint flash of ridicule in the eyes of the surrounding disciples, Wang Kang suddenly said with a gloomy face like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail: "And now, I just want to make your former genius lose face in front of all the disciples!"

"It's not good, Senior Sister Lu Qi, come here!"

Just when Wang Kang was about to make a move on Duan Chen, suddenly accompanied by the shout of a disciple, everyone saw a tall woman with snowy skin walking towards this side surrounded by several people.

For a while, looking at the woman's slender figure and almost perfect face, many disciples climbed up with a hint of fire in their eyes.

"Just now Master asked me to come over and tell you, if you have any grievances, they will be resolved through a regular duel, if anyone dares to mess with right and wrong in private, they will definitely be punished by clan rules, do you hear?"

Ignoring the blazing eyes of the surrounding disciples, Lu Qi warned everyone with a face full of pride.

"Yes, the disciple obeys the master's orders!" As soon as they heard the master's words, all the disciples immediately responded with respect on their faces.

"Hmph, I didn't expect your life to be really big, you just pretended to be dead, and now you have a master to support you, but if you are still a man, just agree to my official challenge, I will wait for you here in a month, do you dare to come?"

Listening to Lu Qi's rumors, Wang Kang, who was bent on making Duan Chen look ugly, deliberately shouted loudly, and with his shouting, the surrounding disciples, and even Lu Qi and his party all focused their eyes on Duan Chen, as if they were waiting for his answer.

Because everyone knows very well that, according to sectarian rules, although disciples are not allowed to fight each other in private, if one party formally challenges the other side and the other party openly accepts it, then the fight between them will no longer be restricted by the sect.

And it was obvious that Wang Kang's actions at this time were nothing more than to force Duan Chen to accept his challenge, so that he could humiliate him in front of everyone.

It's just that everyone doesn't know, will Duan Chen have the courage to do it next?

"Your challenge, I'll take it!" Just as everyone was guessing Duan Chen's reaction, the latter said with a flat face, and then ignored everyone's voices and walked out directly towards the outside of the martial arts arena.

At this time, although Duan Chen also knew very well in his heart that the reason why Wang Kang dared to provoke like this was nothing more than because he had just successfully advanced to the early stage of Huayuan, and he wanted to make a fool of himself at that time.

But in order not to make people look down on him even more, he finally accepted the latter's challenge.

"I didn't expect that Duan Chen's kid to be really backbone, but God is really tricky, if it weren't for the accident two years ago, now he is afraid that he would have entered the main courtyard to practice, and with his talent at that time, I am afraid that it is no longer an existence that can be touched by us people!"

"Moreover, there is no if in this world, he did have amazing talent in the past, but now he is not a waste who can be bullied, but fortunately Senior Sister Lu Qi was wise at the beginning, otherwise he would not be ashamed to die with such a waste boyfriend now. ”

Behind Lu Qi, several disciples spoke up after seeing Duan Chen's figure that was gradually moving away.

Listening to the words of a few people beside him, Lu Qi's deep and beautiful eyes were instantly filled with indifference and disdain: "I may have had a little affection for him before, but now he is just a waste, if anyone dares to mention the past in the future, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Listening to the girl's undisguised words that spread on the martial arts field, everyone couldn't help but hurriedly nodded with fear on their faces.

After all, not to mention that the former's status in the North Courtyard is quite high now, her strength in the middle stage of the Transformation Yuan alone is enough to shock every disciple present.

However, not far away, when Duan Chen heard the voice behind his ears, his forward body couldn't help but tremble, and then he walked towards the distance again.

On the road, the scenes of Zongbi two years ago also slowly appeared in Duan Chen's mind.

I remember that day when Zongbi failed miserably, Lu Qi, who had always been showing favor to him, would be the first to come to comfort him.

What Duan Chen never expected was that when the latter found out that he hadn't made the slightest progress in the past two years.

Not only did she not say anything to comfort her, but she even sneered in front of all the disciples of the Yunmeng Sect: "I may have had a good impression of you before, but now that you have heard clearly to me, the boyfriend I want is someone who can take care of and protect me, not a waste who has always been standing still!"

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, but her original words have appeared in Duan Chen's mind countless times, and every time she appears, the hatred in Duan Chen's heart will deepen and thicken a lot.

And this is also the reason why Duan Chen still practiced hard after Zongbi ended, because he firmly believed that one day, he would definitely be able to stand in front of the latter as a genius again and say to her in person: I was blind at the beginning to fall in love with a woman like you!

Of course, although Duan Chen was longing for the arrival of this day almost every moment, at this time, he just clasped his hands tightly together and did not say a word.

Because he knows that before he can prove it by strength, even if he says it, it is just a joke for others!
