Chapter 9

Xu Chen looked at this Storage Ring and suddenly frowned: "It feels a bit familiar, but I can't say what's wrong."

He must have seen this Storage Ring before, yet he couldn't recall where.

The next day, after Xu Chen finished washing up, he received a notice.

"The assessment is being held at the Xu Family? What kind of trick is this?"

Xu Chen froze.

He remembered that in his past life, it was held at the Yanwuchang of the Ye Family.

Although the difference between the two was not great, it was quite baffling.

Never mind, just assume it's Li Ruoling pretending to curry favor with him.

Having thought so, Xu Chen hurried to his own Yanwuchang.

Gazing intently, it was tens of zhang wide, lined with weapons, and brimming with momentum.

A few Arrays covered it, releasing Spiritual Qi, with a faint mist lingering.

The Family Heads and geniuses from many families in Qingyang City had already all arrived.

Each family had its own area and seats, sitting high above, gazing at the center of the field.

Xu Chen arrived at his family's area and found that Li Ruoling was not by his side this time.

She was on the high platform of the Yanwuchang, monitoring the matches.

However, he felt the seductive glance Li Ruoling threw his way, as if charged with electricity.

He also felt Ye Xuan's gaze filled with rage, as if it could kill.

Xu Chen clicked his tongue: Your woman is acting as a spy for you, and you're angry about what?

"Today is the assessment by the Jixia Academy in Qingyang City. This Elder will preside, and the Saintess will monitor."

"There are many things to assess, but the focus is combat power. Next, those whose names are called, please come forward for the assessment."

"The first match: Xu Chen of the Xu Family versus Ye Xuan of the Ye Family."

Elder Mingyou's voice, like a great bell, quickly spread throughout the entire Yanwuchang, clear to everyone.

Xu Chen froze; he remembered that Ye Xuan, as the protagonist, was supposed to appear last.

Appearing at the start to shock everyone, dominating the scene, making the crowd gasp in awe and be stunned.

After all, that raised the cool factor, and the author arranged it very well.

But what's the situation today, appearing first?

"Never mind, never mind. Since it's just following the plot to lose anyway, the order doesn't matter."

Xu Chen said softly.

He hadn't taken any Human Spirit Pills or Mystic Spirit Pills, just to ensure the plot didn't collapse.

This time, no one could stop him from being utterly defeated; that's what he said.

He quickly walked to the center of the Yanwuchang and instantly unleashed a Second Grade Late-Stage aura.

The realms in "The Soaring Martial Emperor" were quite simple: Grade One was the lowest, gradually increasing to Grade Nine.

Above Grade Nine was the Martial Emperor, above invincibility was the Great Emperor, and above the Great Emperor was the Immortal Emperor.

Each major realm was further divided into Initial Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Consummation Stage.

Very common, very easy to remember.

He remembered that Ye Xuan's true strength in this match was Third Grade Initial-Stage, and his final punch had blasted him away.

Good, come on, blast me away again.

As he pondered, he had already faced off against the protagonist, Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan's face showed a cold expression: "Xu Chen, you suppressed me for three years. After today, it will be the day of my rise."

Xu Chen nodded: Hmm, yes, yes, you are the protagonist and you will rise; I will cooperate with you.

Seeing Xu Chen's dismissive look, Ye Xuan immediately felt anger surge in his heart.

We are about to fight, and you still dare to be so unconcerned; he could no longer endure it.

This time, you Xu Chen must pay the price.

Having thought so, he moved.
