C23 Doubts(1)

"Humph! Chiang Yuan, then I will wait for you in this arena." Duanqiancheng said coldly, and then left without looking back.

Lee Zhuohua watched Duan Qiancheng's back as he left, and laughed heartily.

"Brother Jiang, if we continue to provoke him like this, will he explode from anger?" Lee Zhuohua joked.

Chiang Yuan, who was standing at the side, curled his lips. It was obvious that he thought so as well.

"However, Duanqiancheng can be considered to be quite a character. Although he is arrogant by nature, his strength is still very strong." Chiang Yuan did not look down on Duanqiancheng, and instead spoke objectively.

"But Brother Jiang, aren't you still confident that you can defeat him?" The corner of Lee Zhuohua's mouth raised into a smile.

When Chiang Yuan heard what Lee Zhuohua said, he only smiled knowingly and did not refute him.

In Chiang Yuan's heart, even though he was afraid of some people, it did not mean that Chiang Yuan was afraid of them. It could be said that these people had aroused Chiang Yuan's desire to win.

As time passed, the first round of the competition between the Elemental Gathering Group and the Body Tempering Group had already ended. In the end, there were only ten participants left in each of the two competition areas, and the second round of the competition was about to begin.

According to Lian Nichang's requirements, the two competition zones would only accept the qualification tokens given to the Qian Yuan Academy by the five finalists of their respective competition zones.

Originally, as long as the winner of the second round of the competition was still able to enter the Qian Yuan Academy, then there wouldn't be much meaning in being the champion.

However, in order to encourage the enthusiasm of each participant, in order for them to exert their full strength in the final competition, he had specially set up the award for the champion of the Elemental Gathering Group and the Body Tempering Group.

The Body Tempering Group's champion's prize was the Scarlet Fruit.

The Crimson Fruit was crimson red in color and was a precious body tempering medicine. After consuming it, one would be able to circulate the cultivation technique to neutralize the medicinal effect, which would help in expanding the meridians and strengthening the physical body. For cultivators of the Body Forging Realm, the Scarlet Fruit could allow them to cross over to the Body Forging Realm in a shorter period of time.

And the prize for the champion of the Elemental Gathering Group was the Spirit Cleansing Stone.

The Spirit-Cleansing Stone is a rare gem, and its greatest function is to keep the wearer conscious. It may not be effective in normal circumstances, but when the wearer is cultivating, it is a rare treasure.

The Condensing Origin Stage was in the stage of condensing true essence. If one advanced too much at this stage, one's mind might become unstable, and if it was too severe, one might even go berserk. Thus, the Spirit Cleansing Stone was also a treasure for Essence Condensation cultivators.

In the main audience seating.

"Have you noticed the young man from the Body Tempering Group?" Yuh Guangcheng suddenly asked everyone present.

"Master Yu, are you referring to Lee Zhuohua?" Duanzheng Shangxian mistakenly thought that Yuh Guangcheng was talking about Lee Zhuohua, so he asked.

"Not him." Yuh Guangcheng shook his head.

"Master Yu, you must be talking about the young man called Dung Tianzuo, right?" Chiang Peisheng asked.

"That's right, looks like you noticed it too." Yuh Guangcheng nodded slightly when he heard Chiang Peisheng's name.

When Chiang Peisheng spoke, Duanzheng Shangjun immediately glared at Chiang Peisheng, as if he was unhappy with Chiang Peisheng's interruption.

Chiang Peisheng, on the other hand, didn't even look at him. He simply didn't want to pay attention to Duanzheng Shangjun.

Yuh Guangcheng's eyes were fixed on the drill ground below, as if he had seen through something. He turned to look at Lian Nichang, who was standing beside him, and then looked at Dung Tianzuo, who was in the rest area of the Body Tempering Group.

"Just now, when he was fighting in the arena, I felt an aura on his body." Yuh Guangcheng said after calming down.

"Moreover, his aura is a bit strange. It doesn't seem to come from him." Yuh Guangcheng said something that was puzzling.

Duanzheng Shangjun and Chiang Peisheng were also stunned when they heard Yuh Guangcheng's words. Chiang Peisheng was a bit better off; he had also noticed something strange about Dung Tianzuo just now, but Duanzheng Shangjun couldn't figure it out.

"Senior Brother Yu, the aura around his body is somewhat similar to that of those from that faction." Lian Nichang, who had been silent all this time, had also noticed Dung Tianzuo's strange behavior.

But she thought it was just an illusion, because in her memory, the people of that line had always been active in the capital of Guyang Country. She didn't expect to meet them here in Yan Lai City.

"When I think about it carefully, it is not impossible. For so many years, the people of that line have been searching for the whereabouts of their ancestors. I am afraid that the mud statue of the Celestial Temple has also attracted their attention." Yuh Guangcheng analyzed once again.

In fact, when Yuh Guangcheng sensed the Gang Qi on Dung Tianzuo's body, he didn't quite believe that it was from the bloodline that he was talking about, but when he thought about how that bloodline had been doing these past few years, and about the Celestial Temple, there was a possibility.

The two of them listened to the conversation between Yuh Guangcheng and Lian Nichang, and they were at a loss. They couldn't understand what kind of power Yuh Guangcheng and Lian Nichang were talking about.

"May I ask the City Lord if he can be more specific?" Chiang Peisheng raised the doubt in his heart.

Seeing that Chiang Peisheng had asked what he also wanted to know, Duanzheng Shangjun did not interrupt him and just waited for Yuh Guangcheng and Chiang Peisheng to give him an answer.

"Aunt Hongdenggui," Yuh Guangcheng said one word at a time.

Chiang Peisheng looked at each other, his eyes filled with doubt, not understanding the meaning of Yuh Guangcheng's name.

When Lian Nichang saw that the two of them had never heard of this name before, she explained it to them.

Aunt Hongdenggui, if these four words were to be placed in the capital of Gu Yang, it would probably cause a commotion among the various powers.

This was because these three words represented a former supreme expert. It was said that there was a traitor who had once appeared in the history of Qian Yuan Academy. That traitor was Aunt Hongdenggui.
