Chapter 615: Chapter 150: Turning the Tide, Standing Alone at the Pinnacle [Ten Thousand Words]

The poison on top was cleared instantly.

With a wave of his hand, Fang Che retrieved the sword, holding it in his hand: "Thank you, senior."

"Are you so confident that I have cleansed the poison for you?" Yun Du said calmly.

"If senior doesn’t cleanse it properly, my death from poison is a small matter, but senior’s reputation being sullied is a big one," Fang Che said with a smile.

Yun Du couldn’t help but chuckle: "Quite clever of you."

Then he announced: "King-level battle, Guardian Fang Che wins the championship. Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s Wu Shuang takes second place, Bi Ren is third, and Bai Xu is the fourth runner-up."

The Guardian has won the king-level battle!

From the surrounding stands, the people on the Guardian’s side erupted in cheers.

...

"You’ve gained another large spirit crystal vein."

Yan Nan said casually.

"I will arrange people to mine it," Dongfang Sansan showed no sign of joy, instead, he appeared slightly thoughtful.

Yan Nan nodded slightly, looking at Fang Che in the arena: "You might not be able to keep this champion selection."

Dongfang Sansan also looked at Fang Che, saying: "Let’s see how many of you there are to fill this pit."

Yan Nan shook his head with a laugh: "I won’t take action, but this kid has probably offended everyone he shouldn’t have. Those kids below won’t let him go."

Dongfang Sansan said casually: "Let me remind you, you should consider why he’s been provoking so many."

Yan Nan’s face darkened: "Indeed."

"So, if the descendants of your Vice Sect Masters are killed within the Guardian’s territory, it’s your own doing. It has nothing to do with us."

Dongfang Sansan rolled his eyes and said: "You also have no reason to start a fight in anger."

Yan Nan’s face sank.

His eyes flickered.

He nodded slowly.

Showing a look of ’what you said makes sense’.

But he knew in his heart that if Dongfang Sansan could see it, how could Yan Nan not?

Secretly pondering, Dongfang Sansan’s words now subtly began to protect Fang Che.

Soon, he needed to add fuel to the fire.

Wu Shuang, with four bleeding holes, was carried away, but he had the Dan Yun Divine Pill, so he quickly returned to normal, just looking pale and defeated, even his eyes were somewhat hollow.

He hadn’t expected to lose so badly.

Wu Shuang’s father, Wu Zhiyun, quietly came to his son’s side and, seeing this dejected look, angrily said: "One defeat, and you’re like this?"

Wu Shuang lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"Don’t keep your Heavenly Poison Worms anymore, focus on martial arts," Wu Zhiyun sighed.

"...I..."

Wu Shuang weakly defended: "...I just haven’t matured, as I grow, the power of the Heavenly Poison Worms will only increase."

"But your martial arts path will be cut off!"

Wu Zhiyun said in a low, angry voice.

"Our sect has many who raise spiritual pets, none have had their martial arts cut off."

"But have you seen any of those who raise spiritual pets reach the peak?"

"...Ling Kong raises them, why doesn’t anyone say anything?"

"You and Ling Kong are different."

Wu Zhiyun, infuriated by his son’s obstinacy, said: "Ling Kong is inherently flexible, a different type of person, so raising spiritual pets complements his combat power, but you’re different, understand?"

"...Yes, I understand, father."

Wu Shuang agreed verbally, lowering his head. However, he thought in his heart: "Without a spiritual pet, what would I do if I encountered someone like Fang Che again? As long as I advance, and my battle pet also advances, even if Fang Che exceeds my combat power, he will still die under the Heavenly Poison Worm; if I don’t raise them, should I just wait to die if it happens again?"

"So many on this continent exceed my combat power. Who knows when I might meet them? Without any means to save my life, wouldn’t I die early? Father has lived comfortably for years and hasn’t been out on the battlefield, he’s out of touch with the situation..."

The nine King-level people all have gray faces, looking dispirited.

They were defeated in battle.

Everyone who returned would have to face a setback and could anticipate a miserable time ahead.

...

Fang Che returned, receiving a hero’s welcome.

Feng Xiangdong and the other eight hoisted him up, parading him around the arena.

Everywhere they went, countless crowds jumped and cheered, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Hero! Hero! Fang Che! Fang Che!"

From today onward, Fang Che’s name would be widely known across the continent.

Dongfang Sansan watched on with indifference.

Yan Nan watched just as indifferently.

He was calculating Fang Che’s public opinion; with such public support and achievements, who dared to doubt him as the Yemo?

Amidst the people in the stands.

Mo Gan Yun and others were also cheering, their faces red with excitement under their cloaks.

Laughing and jumping, they were beyond delighted. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

When the atmosphere finally calmed a bit, the four of them shrank back into the crowd.

Mo Gan Yun carefully adjusted the red scarf on his head, coughed, and said solemnly: "Boss Fang will always be my boss."

Yu Zhongge and the other three laughed and sprayed collectively.

In unison, they asked: "What’s the matter, coward?"

"Damn it, how could I not be?"

Mo Gan Yun rolled his eyes, cursing: "Didn’t you notice, Boss Fang didn’t even use many of the methods he used to beat us back at the Martial Arts Academy today..."

Yu Zhongge looked dejected: "I was thinking of plotting to usurp, but now... I can only continue being a puppet, it seems I’ll have to remain this Puppet Master for a while longer."

Jing Shuanggao said: "But now, the gap between us and Boss Fang isn’t that big; with all four of us together, we might just have a slight chance of winning."

Qiu Yunshang was disdainful: "Might, perhaps, look at what you’re saying, does that even sound right? All four of us together... and having only a slight chance of winning! Damn!"

"But we’re about to break through to the Emperor Level; after breaking through, we should lead for a while."

Yu Zhongge’s eyes sparkled: "So we must take advantage of this time, no matter what, we can’t let him... we can’t let him surpass us too quickly."

He initially wanted to say ’not let him catch up’, but he had no confidence at all, so he changed it to ’not let him surpass us too quickly’.

Even as he spoke, he felt he lacked conviction.
