"Cheng Liang, he actually helped Wang Chen?"

  "This is getting lively! Two core disciples, Yao Tian can't avenge himself now!"

  "Yeah, Yao Tian can't take revenge now!"

  When they heard the news, the people in the back began to discuss it again. Having seen Wang Chen lose earlier, Yao Tian was still thinking about Wang Chen's misfortune this time. Unexpectedly, Cheng Liang suddenly appeared halfway!

  Moreover, it is obvious that Cheng Liang is on Wang Chen's side. Not only did he stop Yao Tian's final blow, but it can be seen that he will not let Yao Tian avenge again.

  At the same time, Xiang Qian and others also let out a long breath, then gathered their strength, taking three steps as two, and in the blink of an eye rushed to Wang Chen's side, tightly protecting him in the middle. Vigilantly looking at Yao Tian opposite them.

  "Bad guy, are you okay?" Ke'er asked with a hint of concern as she saw Wang Chen's disheveled appearance.

  The corners of his mouth were stained with a faint crimson, and several wounds appeared on his body. His clothes were tattered, and the two consecutive battles had left Wang Chen exhausted.

  "It's nothing!" Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen smiled and turned his gaze towards Cheng Liang's figure, with a hint of puzzlement.

  The emergence of the quantity was obviously beyond Wang Chen's expectation, and he was greatly surprised.

  "Cheng Liang, what do you want to do? Do you want to be my enemy?" The opposite Yao Tian's face was changing rapidly at this moment, staring at Cheng Liang with an unwilling gaze.

  Looking at Cheng Liang standing in front of Wang Chen, protecting him behind his back, Yao Tian's anger ignited in his heart. This was clearly a declaration of opposition. The final blow was about to succeed, but it was blocked by this guy, and now he even demanded that he surrender with an authoritative tone, how could he possibly accept defeat?

  At the same time, looking at Cheng Lian, Yao Tian had a sense of unwillingness in his heart. A sixth-grade spiritual martial artist with the same strength as himself had become a direct disciple, and his status had risen sharply, making him feel jealous.

  "Let's just drop it, this matter is over!" Cheng Liang's reply was very simple, looking at Yao Tian and saying calmly.

  "Think you can just walk away? Ha! What a joke, you seriously injured my little brother and even dared to fight me. Since the battle has begun, there's no way it'll end that easily!" Yao Tian angrily retorted with a cold smile.

  "Hum, Yao Tian, don't be too excessive! Are you saying that only Yao Yuan is allowed to bully people? He was the one who severely injured our friend first. Then he even initiated a challenge. After Xiang Qian defeated him, he still wasn't satisfied and kept pressing on. That's when Wang Chen stepped in. Now that he himself has been defeated and heavily injured, what does it have to do with us? Are we supposed to just stand here and let him bully us without fighting back? You're being too bullying!" Ke'er was unhappy now, her face red as she questioned Yao Tian fiercely.

  "Are all core disciples as arrogant as you?" Xiang Qiankan also coldly questioned.

  The words of the two caused Yao Tian's face to change color constantly, looking extremely ugly. He took a deep breath and glared at Yao Yuan, who was seriously injured in the distance: "Alright, let's put this matter aside for now! Since Wang Chen and I have already clashed, it means he has already challenged me. The challenge is not over yet, can't you just mind your own business? Have you forgotten the rules of our sect?"

  With a flicker of his eyes, Yao Tian revealed a hint of cold smile and asked.

  Yao Yuan's character he also knew a thing or two about, and the arrogant and domineering attitude of the inner sect disciples was not something he hadn't seen before. Since the other party had grabbed onto Yao Yuan and wouldn't let go, he temporarily put aside the matter of Yao Yuan and instead spoke of the challenge between him and Wang Chen.

  According to the Xingchen Sect's rules, if both parties challenge each other in the martial arts arena and no winner is determined, no one is allowed to intervene or obstruct.

  As long as he grasps this point, there is no reason for the quantity to intervene, otherwise, even if he is a close disciple, he cannot escape the punishment of the sect.

  "Yao Tian, don't you have any shame? A core disciple and a sixth-rank spirit warrior like you dares to challenge a newly entered inner sect member. You also have the face to say it out loud! Who heard Wang Chen say he wanted to challenge you earlier? It was just your one-sided wish. If you hadn't suddenly intervened in his challenge with Yao Yuan, and prepared to attack Wang Chen, would Wang Chen have counterattacked?" Ke'er's small mouth seemed exceptionally sharp at this moment, always able to find the weakness in Yao Tian's words to counterattack.

  "You... humph... stop being so glib here, today Wang Chen must fight me to the death!" After being repeatedly questioned and counterattacked by Ke'er, Yao Tian's face turned bright red with rage, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at several people and bellowed loudly.

  "Hmph... So you've finally shown your true face. Who said they wanted to challenge you? If you want to challenge someone, go find someone else. We don't care who you challenge, just leave us out of it." Ke'er said indifferently, rolling her eyes.

  "You... are good... Since you won't back down, you'll regret it later!" Yao Tian's face turned cold and gloomy as he saw Ke'er like this. He took two deep breaths to calm himself down, then looked at Cheng Liang with a chill: "You want to stop me too?"

  "I've said it before, this matter ends here!" Seeing Yao Tian still unwilling to give up, Cheng Liang's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "Alright, very well! Quantity! Don't think that just because you're a direct disciple I won't dare to move against you! You're a sixth-stage Spirit Warrior, and I'm also a sixth-stage Spirit Warrior. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Yao Tian asked coldly in his anger.

  This is a slap in the face, looking at Cheng Liang, his eyes revealing a cold light, he has never been so humiliated before! Three years ago, with the strength of a fourth-stage True Martial artist, he broke into the inner door and became a figure. In the past three years, he worked hard to cultivate himself, and after becoming a core disciple last year, his status rose rapidly, no one in the inner door dared to offend him.

  As for those core disciples, they basically won't fight each other. Among the core disciples, even if there's no intersection, they're still relatively polite to each other. Under such circumstances, he is even more likely to be favored by the winds and rains, ranking first or second in the inner sect. It's precisely because of this that his younger brother Yao Yuan became so arrogant after entering the inner sect last year.

  Nowadays, this kind of thing actually happens because of a newcomer and he dares to oppose him? How can he not be angry!

  "You think you can move me? You're not even capable of that!" Seeing Yao Tian's sudden change in attitude, Cheng Liang's expression remained calm and collected, with a hint of coldness and disdain in his voice.

  "Hmph, I'm currently at the peak of 6th stage Spirit Martial cultivation. Do you really think I won't be able to move you?" Yao Tian angrily shouted.

  "Don't mention that you're already injured! To be outdone and wounded by a newly-entered disciple is already a shameful thing, do you still think you have any face? Even if you weren't injured, dealing with you would be effortless! Oh right, I forgot to tell you, a month ago I've already stepped into the 7th rank Spirit Warrior realm!" Cheng Liang said slowly, a cold smile spreading from the corner of his mouth.

  As soon as the words fell, Yao Tian's face changed greatly.

  Seven-tiered Spirit Warrior! This is absolutely a shocking piece of news.

  Although a 7th-stage Spirit Warrior and a 6th-stage Spirit Warrior are only one stage apart, the difference is like heaven and earth.

  There is a huge gap between the sixth-order spiritual warrior and the seventh-order spiritual warrior! A martial artist who is still in the sixth order is only an intermediate spiritual warrior, while stepping into the seventh order means becoming a high-level spiritual warrior. The difference in strength between the two sides is very large.

  Especially at this time when he himself is still injured, it's even more impossible for him to be his opponent!

  Yao Tian's face turned iron-green, with a hint of darkness, constantly changing: "Then how will you agree to withdraw?"

  Knowing the difference in strength between the two sides, Yao Tian could only soften and ask angrily.

  Wang Chen had to make up for the huge loss he suffered, and if he didn't get it back today, in the future within the inner gate, among the core disciples, Yao Tian would find it difficult to take a single step.

  "I've said all I'm going to say! If you want to resort to violence, I can accompany you!" Cheng Liang said impatiently.

  Standing behind Cheng Liang, Wang Chen looked at him with some surprise, wondering why he would help himself so much.

  It's absolutely not worth it to offend a core disciple for the sake of a new member like him.

  "You... are fine, very good! Cheng Liang, you remember!" Seeing Cheng Liang standing firm without retreating an inch, Yao Tian spoke in a deep voice.

  Then he turned his head and stared at Wang Chen behind him: "Wang Chen, if you have the ability, come and fight with me. You're not very capable, are you? Why are you hiding behind someone else's back like a turtle now?"

  "Yao Tian, do you have no shame? That's not how you use the art of provocation. I think you'd better go and learn some more. You haven't lost enough face yet?" Xiang Qian sneered coldly at Yao Tian's crude attempt at provocation.

  "Hmph, Wang Chen, you said it yourself!" Yao Tianqiang suppressed his anger and asked, looking at Wang Chen.

  "One year later today, I will challenge you!" Watching Yao Tian's continuous selection, Wang Chen's eyes flashed and walked to Cheng Liang's front, looking at Yao Tian lightly.

  "Wang Chen, you..." As soon as he heard this sentence, Xiang Qian's expression suddenly became anxious.

  "Bad guy... don't agree with him!" Ke'er also anxiously said.

  Wang Chen actually agreed to the challenge? This is absolutely not going to work! The gap in strength between the two of them was just too great. One was a sixth-stage True Martial Artist, and the other was a sixth-stage Spiritual Martial Artist, differing by an entire level.

  And this level of ordinary people can't cross in one or two years, the later the cultivation will be more difficult, everyone knows that.

  "One year!" At the same time, Yao Tian's eyebrows furrowed as he heard Wang Chen's answer, muttering to himself.

  A year's time is neither long nor short! Thinking of this, his eyes kept changing, and after a long while, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Good, one year it is, I'll wait for you! I'd like to see what level you can rise to in a year's time! One year later, at the Martial Arts Arena, let's have a duel to the death!"

  After some thought, Yao Tian took a deep breath and accepted with a cold smile, while also issuing a challenge to a fight to the death.

  Although it still needs to wait for a year, it finally managed to regain some face and make itself look better.

  Otherwise, if Wang Chen really didn't want to accept the challenge, he really had no way out.

  The quantity is blocked here, and he has no chance to make a move.

  Later, following the elder's cultivation, he had no chance of revenge! Since Wang Chen promised to challenge after a year, then waiting for another year was nothing.

  The path of martial arts is long and far-reaching, one year is not very long! For them, it will pass quickly.

  Within a year, what level can this guy reach? Ling Wu or perhaps Ninth-Grade True Martial Artist?

  No matter what, he won't be his opponent, even if it's a talented person, it's hard to surpass him in a year.

  More importantly, this year's time Yao Tian himself can still get the opportunity to improve! At the peak of the sixth-order spiritual martial artist, he will soon be able to enter the seventh-order spiritual martial artist, and even the eighth-order spiritual martial artist, ninth-order spiritual martial artist. Victory is within his grasp.

  "A year later, life or death is irrelevant!" Upon hearing his opponent's words, Wang Chen furrowed his brow and responded in a low tone.
