Why are the resources within the clan allocated to outstanding geniuses, while the mediocre ones are ignored?
Because when you give resources to geniuses, they won’t be wasted.
But if it is given to the mediocre, even the best resources would be wasted.
During Yang Chen’s exchange with Wang Yun Kai, Yang Yuan clearly observed the improvement in his cultivation. However, Yang Yuan did not know to what extent Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation had progressed. If he knew that Yang Chen had reached the Sixth Stage of the Body Refining Realm, he might not be able to speak so fluently.
“Yes, my Yang Wu was already outstanding enough in my opinion, but compared to Yang Chen, he’s still far behind.” Yang Yuan said with a wry smile.
“This is a blessing for our Yang family, Yang Yuan. You can’t just think for yourself. As Yang Chen rises, our Yang family will also rise.” Yang Jin He gazed into the distance, his eyes full of expectation.
Yang Yuan respectfully said, “Clan Leader, rest assured, Yang Chen’s character and talent are top-notch, Today, he fought Wang Yun Kai using weapons without being dismayed, proving that he was born for great things. For such a talent, I can no longer have selfish intentions. By the way, I have one more thing to tell you. Yang Chen is going to Wang Family in three days to challenge Wang Ren and Wang De in alchemy again… ”
“Oh? Getting back up where you fell, it’s indeed necessary. We can’t interfere in this matter. Yang Chen needs to resolve his own grudges. However, to guard against any deceit from the Wang family, Yang Yuan, you and some others should secretly protect Yang Chen. His safety must not be compromised at all.”
Yang Jin He was worried about any mishap happening to Yang Chen and instructed cautiously.
“Leave this matter to me, Clan Leader. I, Yang Yuan, can’t guarantee anything else, but if anyone dares to harm Yang Chen, I will risk my life to prevent them from succeeding!”
Just like that, word spread that in three days, Yang Chen would go to the Wang family to learn alchemy. This news quietly passed among the nearby clans of the Yang family.
Everyone began to learn about Yang Chen’s audacious undertaking in three days.
To call it audacious was not an exaggeration at all. Challenging the geniuses of the Great Tribes was not something rare or bizarre. However, someone like Yang Chen, openly stating that he would challenge the Wang family, was indeed unprecedented.
Challenging the Wang family’s genius was not as simple as competing.
Once the competition began, the challenger would no longer have a way out.
With a simple sentence, Yang Chen had blocked his own retreat. Even if he won, it didn’t matter; once he lost, however, his reputation would plummet to a point where it would be difficult to recover.
Before the battle, having the courage to block one’s own retreat required extraordinary guts.
Just this audacity alone was something ordinary people didn’t possess. How could it not garner explosive attention?
In just one day, many nearby tribes started discussing the matter. It could be said that Yang Chen’s challenge had become the most-talked-about topic in recent days.
“In my opinion, Yang Chen must have a problem with his brain. Only an idiot like him would issue a challenge without leaving himself a way out. Does he think challenging the geniuses of the Great Tribes is that easy? Casually challenging the Great Tribes with just a single sentence? Now he doesn’t even have a way out, and he can’t even back down if he wants to. Does he think this is child’s play?”
“Brother, I’m not happy to hear you say that. Yang Chen did this because he has the courage and guts that others don’t possess. If you were asked to challenge the geniuses of the Great Tribes, would you dare?”
“Little sister, you don’t have to defend Yang Chen like that. After a single visit to the Yang family, it’s like your soul was snatched away.”
The young girl spoke of Yang Chen with a starry-eyed expression, “That’s not it. Yang Chen is so young and yet has such courage and strength. Who wouldn’t like him? I don’t care, I just can’t stand you speaking ill of Yang Chen. Besides, I want to go and watch the day after tomorrow when Yang Chen goes to the
Wang family to compete!”
There were quite a few people with the attitude of going to watch the battle.
Many people wanted to see how Yang Chen would challenge the genius of the Wang family.
However, there were not many people who had faith in Yang Chen.
Because many people were aware of Yang Chen’s skill in alchemy.
One should know that Yang Chen’s previous fame was largely due to his competition in alchemy with the Wang family.
If Yang Chen had merely been narrowly defeated, it wouldn’t have mattered. But Yang Chen produced three furnaces of precious elixir, none of which successfully achieved a pill. Such a competition became an unprecedented joke. The Wang family’s ambitious geniuses used this to create momentum for themselves, inciting media interest and using Yang Chen as a stepping stone, making his reputation infamous.
Yes, Yang Chen’s reputation at that time was anything but favorable.
With such a level of expertise in alchemy, who would have faith in Yang Chen?”l think Yang Chen is just determined to get back up wherever he falls, but he’s too impatient. His talent in martial arts is indeed astounding and unexpected. However, his talent in alchemy is truly terrible. Challenging Wang Ren and Wang De is just asking for death. ”
“Yang Chen is too impatient.”
“It’s a pity. Young and reckless, Yang Chen is eager to prove himself, and I’m afraid he’ll suffer a huge loss in the battle the day after tomorrow.”
Time flies…
In no time, it’s the agreed-upon three days later.
Yang Chen, the day he heads to the Yang family.
Many people think Yang Chen has the mindset of getting back up wherever he falls.
But they don’t know that Yang Chen never thought like that at all.
Getting up where he falls?
His challenge to Wang Ren and Wang De is only to put the mind of ‘Yang Chen’ at ease before he leaves.
“Although I don’t like doing this kind of butt-kissing stuff, it seems there’s no better way for now.” Yang Chen muttered, getting up from the bed and getting dressed.
Standing in front of a bronze mirror, he took a brief glance at himself, then looked out the window, murmuring, “If all goes well, Yu Xiaohui and Wang Yun Kai, with their vengeful mentality, should have already made my challenge to Wang Ren and Wang De in the Wang family widely known.”
At this thought, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Everything was going according to his plan.
Although he didn’t leave his home, he could somewhat predict the affairs of the outside world.
Since he mentioned his challenge to the Wang family back then, he had already expected that the matter would become widely known. With Yu Xiaohui and Wang Yun Kai’s vengeful mentality toward him, they would be consumed with thoughts of how to humiliate him. And going to challenge the Wang family wasn’t the perfect opportunity?
After all, his alchemy level was disastrously poor in the eyes and ears of the outside world.
However, who could have imagined that since he dared to say those words that day, he didn’t care about today’s competition at all?
When it comes to alchemy, he has absolute confidence.
Men stop, kill-men; gods stop, slaughter-gods!
“That’s good too. I’ll thoroughly change the way those people look at me. I’ll also completely erase the scandal of the previous Yang Chen.”
“Young Master, I have prepared all the tools you usually use for alchemy. Do you have any other orders?” Gu Mingyue said tenderly from outside the door.
“Creak! ”
The door opened, revealing Yang Chen, looking warm and gentle in the sunlight.
Walking ahead with his hands behind his back, Yang Chen said decisively, “No need, since everything is prepared, let’s go. Let’s go!”
“Young Master, are we going to the Wang family?” Gu Mingyue followed closely behind Yang Chen with small steps.
“Yes, to the Wang family.” Yang Chen’s eyes looked forward.
Gu Mingyue saw it clearly.
They were a pair of determined eyes….
