Vol.2-Chapter 229 – Deterrence

If you’re unconvinced, let’s fight. After he said those words, the entire scene became quiet and the atmosphere became dense. Although his words weren’t loud, everyone became quiet. Even the higher-ups looked at this playfully.

At this moment, Zhao Jiuge used his actions to tell everyone what arrogance was. In this world where you speak with your strength, Zhao Jiuge knew that he had to show his skills. Otherwise, everything else would be meaningless.

The words that had entered his ears had already upset him. As his strength increased, he was no longer the same weak youth as before. Now he had the foundation and the confidence to suppress the elite disciples of the sect.

The playful gaze in Du Jun and Zhang Xu’s eyes became even stronger. They wanted to see what was so special about the boy that had caught the Head Teacher’s attention. Whether Zhao Jiuge was a mule or a horse, they would soon know.

The other disciples hadn\'t expected Zhao Jiuge to be arrogant enough to say something like this. It would already be very good if no one challenged him, yet he was trying to challenge others.

At this moment, Zhao Jiuge’s words and actions angered the crowd.

Even though Zhao Jiuge had some strength, he shouldn’t be this arrogant.

“Let him be arrogant, someone will deal with him!”

“I’m afraid he is just a mere flower and will end up shaming himself.”

“Not necessarily. He has defeated Zhou Hongyong already.”

“Let’s wait and see, we’ll know the result soon.”

Everyone talked back and forth while looking at the other people who were on the ranking. They wanted to see their reactions.

Guo Lianging, who had a face filled with potholes, couldn’t stand everyone’s gazes. He was about to step forward to challenge Zhao Jiuge.

However, the dark-skinned Chen Hailong stopped him and said, “Senior Brother, let me go first. If I can’t beat him, it will be pointless for you to go.”

Guo Liangliang thought about it for a moment and thought it made sense. After all, he was weaker than Chen Hailong.

“The Mysterious Fallen Peak’s Chen Hailong requests a spar.”

The crowd scattered and Cheng Hailong slowly walked out. He looked at Zhao Jiuge with a provocative gaze.

To be able to rank in the top 10, he naturally wasn’t weak. Seeing a dark horse like Zhao Jiuge pop up like this, he was naturally unconvinced. Not to mention that with so many disciples watching, he had to show off a bit.

Seeing someone finally walk out to challenge Zhao Jiuge, even the older disciples became interested. The whole crowd was in an uproar.

There would naturally be battles during every exchange between the old and the new, but the battles were not always interesting.

Zhang Xu had a proud expression. He knew how strong his disciple was. Not to mention he had given his disciple some special pointers and treasures before this too. He believed that with his disciple’s strength, as long as Sha Sha didn’t appear, his disciple would definitely win.

When Du Jun noticed Zhang Xu’s expression, he sneered in his heart with disdain. The friendly atmosphere they had earlier had completely disappeared.

Nobody understands one’s son better than the father.

The Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect was divided into three peaks. The Mysterious Heaven Peak was the main peak, and it suppressed the Mysterious Fallen and the Mysterious Strange Peak. Du Jun and Zhang Xu had fought against each other for a long time, so they understood each other very well.

The moment he took off his pants, he would know if he was going to take a dump or fart. As soon as he opened his mouth, he would know if he was going to eat rice or drink soup.

That was why when he saw Zhang Xu proudly stroke his beard, he knew that Zhang Xu had the same thought as him. They both wanted to drag down Jian Wuxian’s fame and let their disciples go to the Seven Holy Lands Exchange instead. As for the position of Chief Head Disciple, if they could obtain it, great. If not, they were still going to hinder Jian Wuxian in some way. They wanted to lower the prestige of the Mysterious Heaven Peak.

Du Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Qiwen and Zhou Hongyong. He had high hopes for the two of them. Fang Qiwen was not his disciple, but a disciple of another elder of the Mysterious Strange Peak. However, he was very strong and had caught Du Jun’s attention. Today was a special day, and Fang Qiwen was a key part of the plan.

Zhou Hongyong was his own disciple. Although Zhou Hongyong had lost to Zhao Jiuge, he didn’t blame his disciple too much. This disciple of his was very focused on studying spirit formations and was a genius at it. However, setting up a spirit formation took time, so it wasn\'t strange for him to lose due to being careless.

Sure enough, before Du Jun looked for long, Fang Qiwen walked out from the crowd. He looked at Zhao Jiuge with a cold gaze and revealed a cruel smile. He quietly said, “The Mysterious Strange Peak’s Fang Qiwen is here to challenge you.”

After he finished speaking, he completely ignored Zhao Jiuge and looked at Chen Hailong with an unfriendly gaze. He seemed to blame Chen Hailong for robbing him of the limelight by challenging Zhao Jiuge before him. It looked like he didn’t care about Zhao Jiuge at all!

“Hahaha, what is this about asking to spar or challenge? Isn’t it just people who are unconvinced by you? I, Zhou Hongyong, am unconvinced by you!”

Seeing other people standing out to challenge the arrogant Zhao Jiuge, Zhou Hongyong quickly stepped up as well. He simply wanted to make Zhao Jiuge look back. He had not forgotten the humiliation from the last battle.

“A mere loser. A sissy like you still dares to come out?” Zhao Jiuge only glanced at Zhou Hongyong.

Then he didn’t even bother looking directly at Zhou Hongyong, and his voice was filled with disdain. This filled Zhou Hongyong with rage, and he growled, “I’m unconvinced—so what?!”

This time, Zhao Jiuge finally turned his head and coldly looked at Zhou Hongyong. However, he didn’t respond.

When Zhao Jiuge said the word “sissy,” bursts of laughter came from the surroundings. Everyone looked at Zhao Jiuge with interest. He was not in a good situation, yet he still had the heart to argue. This made some people even more curious—they wanted to see how strong Zhao Jiuge was.

“Who else is unconvinced?”

Zhao Jiuge’s voice was calm and his gaze slowly swept past the other disciples. There were subtle fluctuations of spirit force from the sword sheath in his hand.

“Elder Long Wind’s disciple, Wang Yong.”

A short, dark-skinned young man slowly walked out. He was Wang Yong, and he was also in the top 10. His teacher, Elder Long Wind, was one of the elders who had revealed looks of dissatisfaction.

The more calm Zhao Jiuge was, the more people disliked him. Guo Liangliang originally decided to not make a move, but he could not hold himself back anymore.

“And me, the Mysterious Fallen Peak’s Guo Liangliang.”

Then Guo Liangliang, who had a red robe and whose face was covered in potholes, walked out. His eyes showed that he was unconvinced.

The situation was getting more and more out of control. A total of five of the top 10 had challenged the same person. In the past, this had never happened before. At most, only one or two people had challenged the same person. After all, everyone had a general understanding of each other’s strength. This time, Zhao Jiuge was being challenged by multiple people, so it wouldn’t be a simple spar. They were here to fight!

“Hmph, the disciples of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect have become even more narrow-minded.” Elder Waning Moon was very dissatisfied when she saw so many people challenge Zhao Jiuge. After all, this many people challenging Zhao Jiuge was a slap to their faces.

Elder Dawn Wind shook his head and said, “Disciples need to compete with each other so they can grow.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at his own junior sister. He thought that his junior sister really did dote on this brat, or else she wouldn’t have this kind of expression.

The other higher-ups didn’t notice this exchange. The elders on the other side, like Du Jun and Zhang Xu, were very happy about this. They wanted to see how Jian Wuxian would deal with this.

Jian Wuxuan’s expression was ugly and he scolded them in his heart.?“It looks like if we don’t teach these old bastards a lesson, they won’t learn their lesson.”

Xue Qingfeng had a deep frown while watching this scene, but he didn’t make a sound. When he noticed how calm Jian Wuxian was, he looked down on the stage.

At this moment, everyone’s gazes were locked on Zhao Jiuge. They wanted to see how he would deal with this situation.

Fang Qiwen sneered at Zhao Jiuge and thought he was afraid, but he saw Zhao Jiuge calm down. Zhao Jiuge held the quaint, black sword sheath in his hand and smiled. “Is there no one else? Just you few?”

After he spoke, everyone was startled and wondered if Zhao Jiuge had become stupid. The five people challenging him were already difficult enough to fight one by one, yet he was trying to provoke more people?

Fortunately, although many people were unconvinced, only those with actual strength had stood out. So even though Zhao Jiuge had provoked them again, no one stood out.

Fang Qiwen just didn’t like seeing Zhao Jiuge pretending to be cool. He immediately retorted, “So what if there are just a few of us? Do you think you can handle us? If you’re a man, fight and don’t waste time talking nonsense. I\'ll go first.”

Facing Fang Qiwen’s words, Zhao Jiuge didn’t panic and only shook his head. Everyone was confused and didn’t understand Zhao Jiuge. Could he be scared?

Only Du Jun and Zhang Xu suddenly narrowed their eyes. They suddenly remembered what had happened on Wu Hua Peak.

Sure enough, what Zhao Jiuge said caused another uproar.

“It’s not you who is going first. All five of you, come at once to save time. I still have to go back and cultivate to prepare for the Seven Holy Land Exchange next month.”

These words were simply too arrogant. All five of them at once! These were five people in the top 10. They originally thought Fang Qiwen and Zhou Hongyong were arrogant enough, but they didn’t expect Zhao Jiuge to be even more arrogant. And he was certain he was going to win and that he was going to participate in the Seven Holy Land Exchange!
