Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 777 - : Don’t Want to Keep a Low Profile
Chapter 777: Chapter 777: Don’t Want to Keep a Low Profile
Hongyi Martial Hall.
Inside the front hall, the Martial Pavilion Master Shao Hongcheng sat in an armchair, his expression extremely ugly, as desolate as if both his parents had died.
He asked in a deep voice, “Is there really no news of Wang Chen at all?”
The two people who had just entered looked at each other, shaking their heads in unison, with a helpless expression.
Shao Hongcheng said with a bitter smile, “Alright then.”
Those two simple words, when spoken from his mouth, carried immeasurable weight.
...
Just two days later would be Red Cliff City’s annual Martial Pavilion competition, and Hongyi Martial Hall certainly had to send participants to compete in the arena.
The problem was that there was no one outstanding among the newer generation at Hongyi Martial Hall, and the few martial masters had already entered the age where their Qi-Blood was in decline, with little chance of winning many matches in the arena.
Shao Hongcheng also didn’t want to see them get hurt.
There were no sentiments to be found in the fierce competition on the merciless arena, where injuries or even deaths were commonplace.
Previously, Shao Hongcheng had put all his hopes on Wang Chen, whose miraculous breakthrough to the Acquired Realm had filled him with confidence, thinking that victory was within his grasp for this competition.
He had not expected that, in order to increase his strength, Wang Chen would actually venture alone to North Mountain for training!
And had since vanished without a trace.
Now, Shao Hongcheng regretted it immensely. If he had known this would happen, he would have kept Wang Chen in Red Cliff City at all costs.
Having the strength of the Acquired great realm was sufficient to ensure that Hongyi Martial Hall would secure the crucial winning tokens and not be eliminated, maintaining their qualifications to stand in Red Cliff City.
Looking back now, he realized how destructive greed could be!
The Martial Pavilion Master was filled with regret and urgency, sighing repeatedly in a mood of deep gloom, his fists clenched in confusion.
All of a sudden, the surroundings became eerily quiet, creating an atmosphere so strange that even the unstable Shao Hongcheng took notice.
“Master,” someone said.
Shao Hongcheng suddenly looked up, and his eyes met with Wang Chen, who had appeared at the entrance of the front hall!
He was so shocked that he couldn’t believe his own eyes.
Wang Chen’s appearance could only be described as terrible at that moment. He was wrapped in an animal hide and carried a large bundle of the same material on his back, looking like a savage who had just run out of the wilderness.
But Shao Hongcheng couldn’t care less about his appearance; his mood instantly went from the lowest depths to the highest peak, and he burst out laughing, “Good, good, Wang Chen, you’ve finally returned!”
Heaven knows, during the time Wang Chen was away, Shao Hongcheng had been filled with anxiety, day and night.

Seeing Wang Chen now was like being reunited with a long-lost relative.
Even closer than his actual relatives!
The Martial Pavilion Master almost rushed forward to embrace Wang Chen tightly and never let go.
Shao Hongcheng was so excited that Wang Chen’s hairs stood on end, and he hurriedly said, “Master, I’ve made you worry these past days, but rest assured, I will definitely participate in the Martial Pavilion competition.”
Not only would he participate, but he also intended to win the championship for Hongyi Martial Hall as a way to repay the kindness he owed.
“You all, leave us,” Shao Hongcheng calmed down and ordered the others in the hall to leave before personally pouring Wang Chen a cup of hot tea.
After Wang Chen had put down his bundle and sat down, Shao Hongcheng asked in a lower voice, “Junior brother, how are you now?”
Wang Chen knew what he was asking, and without directly answering, he simply flicked his finger forward.
A wisp of finger wind shot out in an instant, accurately piercing the teacup on the desk, and the hot water continuously flowed out from the hole made by his finger.
True Qi release!
Shao Hongcheng suddenly widened his eyes and gasped in shock. His hands trembled slightly, nearly losing his composure on the spot.
Innate!
Only Innate Martial Artists could release True Qi and demonstrate such precise control.
This sixteen-year-old youth had now become a top-tier existence, eligible to preside over a city!
In that moment, Shao Hongcheng’s feelings were indescribable, overwhelmed with shock.
He had already had a very high regard for Wang Chen’s martial arts talent, yet Wang Chen continually upset his commonsense and created unbelievable miracles.
At this moment, Shao Hongcheng put the Martial Pavilion competition out of his mind.
It was utterly insignificant.
After all, Red Cliff City only had one Innate strongman. If Wang Chen stepped onto the stage, it would be a diminishment in dimensionality; there could be no opponents, and he could win with just a flick of his finger.
What Shao Hongcheng now had to consider was the impact that owning an Innate strongman would have on Hongyi Martial Hall!
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers. With the sudden emergence of a new Innate Martial Artist in Red Cliff City, the reaction of Zhao Zhenxuan, who was also of Innate level, was unpredictable.
Zhao Zhenxuan had controlled Red Cliff City for decades, and his cultivation was profound and unfathomable, not something the newly-advanced Innate Wang Chen could contend against.
If the City Lord felt that Wang Chen’s existence threatened him, then when the time came, Hongyi Martial Hall would be in big trouble.
The more Shao Hongcheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and all his excitement and agitation vanished.
He couldn’t help saying, “Junior Brother, you must not reveal your Innate cultivation level; Acquired is already enough.”
Wang Chen was somewhat puzzled, but quickly understood, “Senior Brother, are you worried about Zhao Zhenxuan?”
“That’s right.”
Shao Hongcheng said with a worried look, “You’ve just broken through to Innate, it’s better to keep a low profile.”
Hongyi Martial Hall could be discarded, but not the young genius Wang Chen. Shao Hongcheng had pinned all his hopes of revitalizing the Infinity Sect on him.
If worst came to worst, they would have to pack up and flee.
“Junior Brother, I’ve thought it through.”
Shao Hongcheng said firmly, “We won’t participate in the Martial Pavilion competition anymore!”
Compared to the importance of Wang Chen, what was the Martial Pavilion competition?
It was nothing at all!
“Senior Brother.”
Wang Chen shook his head and said, “I’m definitely going to participate in this Martial Pavilion competition, and I won’t hide my realm.”
What a joke, if he didn’t participate in the Martial Pavilion competition, how could he repay Shao Hongcheng’s karmic favor, how could he become famous and increase his chances of finding Hu Jiaojiao?
Wang Chen didn’t intend to stay in this world too long, lest unexpected changes occur in the Haotian Realm.
He was also concerned about Hu Jiaojiao’s safety.
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother,”
Wang Chen said in a deep voice, “There’s no need to worry about Zhao Zhenxuan. If he has any ideas, I’ll naturally teach him the principles of being a person.”
Teaching Zhao Zhenxuan the principles of being a person!
Shao Hongcheng was rendered speechless.
What Wang Chen said was not just arrogance but sheer audacity taken to the extreme.
If this were known by others, it would likely cause an uproar, shredding Hongyi Martial Hall to pieces.
Yet the strong confidence emanating from Wang Chen made it impossible for Shao Hongcheng to say anything in opposition.
He even felt that it might actually be possible.
This trust originated from the miracles created by Wang Chen’s rapidly ascending cultivation realm, soaring every step of the way.
This young man could not be measured by common sense!
Shao Hongcheng gritted his teeth, “Okay, we’ll do as you wish, Junior Brother.”
He was all in!
In life, one doesn’t get many chances to take a risk; this time Shao Hongcheng was determined to follow Wang Chen to the end, come what may.
