Chapter 21: Strength Represents Status
You Jian and Qian Ming, although they looked down on Xiao Chen's cultivation, did not mean to insult him. On the contrary, a hint of concern could be heard in their words.
This made Xiao Chen feel somewhat better about these people, but he wouldn't easily give up his decision to leave the mountain.
After hearing You Jian's words, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and said: "Whether or not you can kill the demon beast, come up and try it with your own hands to see?"
"Haha......" Upon hearing this, You Jian immediately burst out laughing, and the others also looked at each other and smiled. This laughter was not mocking, but a kind-hearted smile.
"You've just entered the Fei Yun Pavilion, little brother. You're only at the first level of concentrated spirit cultivation. It's not that I look down on you, but going down the mountain is too dangerous. Why don't you stay within the sect and raise your cultivation before speaking?"
"Yu Jian, you can try it out, maybe there will be a surprise." However, at this moment, Yue Ling spoke up. On the day of Xiao Chen's battle with Zhong Chongshan, although he was unable to defeat Zhong Chongshan, Zhong Chongshan also couldn't gain the upper hand against Xiao Chen. Therefore, Yue Ling still had some confidence in Xiao Chen's abilities.
"Really?" Yu Jian heard Yue Ling say this, his eyes lit up involuntarily. "Since Sister Yue Ling has so much confidence in this little brother, I might as well give it a try."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately cleared the area. Yu Jian and Xiao Chen took a step forward each, entering the center of the stage.
"Junior brother, I'll stand here without moving. If you can make me take a step back, then you're qualified to join the team." Yu Jian said with extraordinary confidence after standing firm.
Although Yue Ling made a guarantee, Xiao Chen was still able to condense his spirit to the first heaven, and he could be fierce to that extent. After all, You Jian's cultivation was at the seventh heaven of condensed spirit!
"Then I won't be polite, take a punch from me!"
Xiao Chen didn't hesitate, and directly spoke out, then took a deep breath, stepped forward, and threw a punch at You Jian.
Aroo!
This punch was thrown out, and it actually made a dragon's roar and tiger's howl sound. The single fist broke through the wind and came out, with a series of explosive sounds all the way. In Xiao Chen's dantian, the air vortex spun rapidly, causing the true energy to burst out and provide him with tremendous power.
"Huh?" Yu Jian's eyebrows rose involuntarily, and although Xiao Chen's fist had not yet touched his body, the fierce gust of wind it generated was piercing, like a knife.
Others who saw this scene were also slightly surprised, as it is said that a master's skill can be seen in one move.
Xiao Chen's move revealed his power to be extraordinary, far surpassing that of an ordinary cultivator at the Congenital Realm.
"It's interesting."
You Jian's mouth slightly curved up, and at the moment when Xiao Chen's fist was about to arrive, his palm shook, and a burst of misty cloud energy exploded out. His palm seemed to have grown one size larger, gently covering Xiao Chen's rapidly approaching strong fist. You Jian wanted to test Xiao Chen's strength.
Bang!
A dull thud was heard as fists and palms intersected.
"Huh?" At this moment, Xiao Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling as if his fist had hit a cotton ball, soft and mushy, extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, You Jian's face also changed. To others, it seemed like he had easily blocked Xiao Chen's punch with just a wave of his hand, but only he himself knew that it wasn't as effortless as it looked on the surface.
"This kid's strength is incredibly powerful, at least over 1,500 catties, comparable to the fifth level of Concentrated Spirit Heaven!" Yu Jian was shocked in his heart.
Xiao Chen's freakish transcendent ability was simply beyond imagination. After all, You Jian didn't know that Xiao Chen was a Starry Sky War Body, and he had also consumed the demon core of the Phantom Tiger King. His physical strength had already surpassed 500 jin, and his true energy was even thicker than that of an ordinary Condensed Divine Realm warrior.
"Little brother, bring out all your skills and let me see how strong you are." Yu Jian said.
"Be careful, brother."
Xiao Chen said, his footsteps suddenly moved swiftly, on the surface it was Fei Yun Bu, but secretly it was Cang You Ti Yun Zong in between, making his speed extremely fast.
Everyone only saw Xiao Chen's toes touch the ground, and he was already behind You Jian. With a swift movement, Xiao Chen formed his fingers into a sword shape, and his true energy burst forth as he launched the first move of his self-created "Lei Yun San Shi" (Thunder Cloud Three Styles), striking towards You Jian's rear shoulder with the speed of a raging wind and the ferocity of a sudden downpour.
You Jian's face changed color, and he felt a sharp pain in his back, as if he had been stabbed with a needle. He tried to turn around to defend himself, but it was too late. He could only shift his body slightly to the side, barely avoiding the attack.
But right behind Xiao Chen's finger sword reappeared in You Jian's line of sight, like a maggot on the heel bone, stabbing straight at his neck.
You Jian was shocked and secretly thought that Xiao Chen's speed was extremely fast, this stab was very clever. You Jian didn't know how to defend against this sword and could only dodge again!
Both sides were moving back and forth on the court, with Xiao Chen rapidly circling around You Jian, while You Jian was like a spinning top, constantly dodging and changing positions.
Splash!
Another sword shot out, Xiao Chen pointed like a sword, falling from high altitude, stabbing towards You Jian's head.
"Good fellow!" Yu Jian exclaimed, his body leaning back to avoid it by a hair's breadth. He slapped the ground with both palms and was about to bounce up when, at this moment, a leg shadow like flowing clouds wrapped around thousands of pounds of force, exploding with a loud noise, sweeping towards Yu Jian's calf.
The hands are two doors, and under the feet is a root.
Xiao Chen's move was a clever grasp of opportunity, breaking away the foundation under You Jian's feet.
You Jian couldn't help but move his feet to dodge, so he used both arms to force himself into a backflip to avoid the attack. As soon as he landed, he shouted: "Stop!"
Xiao Chen still wanted to continue attacking, but upon hearing this, he reluctantly stopped.
You Jian's strength was strong, but he said he wouldn't fight back, letting Xiao Chen attack him, and also said he wouldn't move a step, if he walked away then he would lose.
It was as easy as a tiger pouncing on a rabbit at dawn, completely treating You Jian as a moving target, hitting him with great satisfaction.
As soon as that word "stop" fell, You Jian had already moved his position, and according to the previous agreement, it was equivalent to Xiao Chen's victory.
"Little brother, not bad! I underestimated you, didn't expect your footwork to be so fast, and your swordsmanship is even more incredible. Even I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to win against you in a sword fight." Yu Jian praised, but his eyes were filled with surprise, thinking to himself: "This guy is really formidable, it's actually me who misjudged him, almost got caught off guard."
"Of course." However, at this moment, Yue Ling took the lead and said: "Although Shao Chen has just entered Fei Yun Bie Yuan, he is not an ordinary disciple. He is a Starlight Warrior, so it's natural that he's formidable."
"Warrior Disciple..."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and suddenly enlightened. No wonder he was so formidable; it turned out that he was a disciple of the War Body!
As soon as this was said, You Jian couldn't help but feel embarrassed, thinking of his dignified appearance earlier, and his face suddenly turned red.
Qian Ming was also speechless, just now he also looked down on Xiao Chen, and even never took a good look at Xiao Chen.
Others were also stunned, and even more puzzled how a disciple of the war body could end up in Fei Yun Bie Yuan. Xiao Chen was simply an anomaly, defying all logic.
"You're wrong, Brother Yu Jian. It's actually me who should be thanking him." Xiao Chen finally found the opportunity to speak after being interrupted by Yue Ling.
"No need to be humble, your strength is indeed not bad, and you have the qualifications to join our team. I'm curious, since you're a War Body disciple, how did you end up at Fei Yun Bie Yuan?" Yu Jian said with a big smile, without any resentment towards Xiao Chen for losing face.
"This is a long story..." Xiao Chen sighed, with a look of nostalgia.
Yue Ling then voluntarily told everyone the cause and effect, and after everyone listened, they suddenly realized that everything was like this...
"Xiao Chen, this time we'll take the task together and squeeze into the top five. When we return, we'll earn a quota for an inner disciple, and the sect won't look down on you anymore." Yu Jian patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and said.
This dark-skinned guy is as bold and chivalrous as an African brother, with a strong sense of justice. After this fight, combined with Yue Ling's eloquent words, Xiang Chen seems even more impressive, and the bond between brothers has risen rapidly.
"Alright, let's get down to business." However, just as everyone was welcoming Xiao Chen, Qian Ming's expression turned serious and he said: "Now that we have seven people, including Zhao Wumian Shixiong from the inner sect, our team is complete with eight members. Therefore, we need to go register our team. Before registration, our team needs a name..."
"Call Flying Firefly!"
"It's incredibly ugly, claiming to be the most beautiful in the world!"
"Not bad, calling him the Sword God Emperor is fitting!"
"Damn it's gentle!"
“……”
Everyone immediately rushed to offer their most beautiful and domineering team name, all filled with righteous indignation.
But everyone thinks other people's names sound bad and opinions can't be unified.
Suddenly, Qian Ming saw Xiao Chen on the side grinning mischievously, half-leaning his head, laughing so hard that his body was shaking all over. He said: "Xiao Chen Shidi, what are you laughing at? Do you have a better name?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's expression turned serious, and he looked up to scan the puzzled faces of the crowd before saying, "There is indeed one."
"Speak up and let's hear it!" Yue Ling said immediately.
Others also looked at Xiao Chen curiously, waiting for him to say the name of the team.
"Dinosaur Squad!" Xiao Chen finally said out loud the team name that had been on his mind.
This name is of great significance to Xiao Chen, as in his previous life, he had watched this cartoon-like TV series the most when he was a kid, and it played endlessly. Moreover, at this moment, they were going to kill the demon beast, and in that TV series, the dinosaur team also hunted down the demon beast, coincidentally matching the situation so well.
However, in the past, 'dinosaur' had another meaning, which was used to describe girls who were extremely ugly.
So Xiao Chen only laughed with his whole body shaking and a mischievous grin spreading across his face when he thought of the team having Yue Ling, that lively girl.
"This name sounds a bit strange?" Yue Ling furrowed her brow and said, perhaps due to a woman's sixth sense, although she didn't understand the meaning of 'dinosaur', she felt uncomfortable all over.
"This name is pretty good, quite sharp." You Jian nodded in agreement.
Later, after other members had a taste, they all felt that it was not bad, and surprisingly, there was no debate, and the opinions were unanimous.
"Then let's call it the Dinosaur Squad." Qian Ming said after seeing that everyone had no objections: "Now, follow me to register."
