57: Chapter 57 Warships Set Sail, Confronting the Central Plains Imperial Clan
The discussion at the next table continued, but Gu Chen could no longer listen!
He turned his head to look at Li Shuangxu, his expression somewhat strange.
"Breaking through to the Sovereign Realm at thirty is also called a Genius?" Gu Chen lowered his voice, puzzled.
"I am in my early twenties and have already reached the Sovereign Realm! Are the Prodigies of the Emperor Clans they speak of just this?"
Li Shuangxu's mouth twitched. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, but he still tried to keep himself calm!
Gu Chen was in his early twenties and at the first level of the Sovereign Realm; in the Central Plains, this was indeed a talent at the Prodigy level!
But this guy's Breakthrough process was too casual. He stood on the square, caught a breeze, and achieved a Breakthrough. It made people unable to feel any respect at all!
He just wanted to curse!
"Just take the Realm and stop talking!"
Li Shuangxu explained, "Brother Gu, the age limit for participating in the Genius Tournament is under forty. Breaking through to the Sovereign Realm at thirty is indeed considered a Genius in the Central Plains! Not everyone is like you, achieving a Breakthrough as if drinking water!"
Gu Chen chuckled: "That's true! However, those Emperor Clan Geniuses and descendants of Longevity Families have quasi-emperor artifacts and Formations in their hands. It's quite troublesome to deal with them. I only have a broken sword!"
Li Shuangxu almost choked on his own saliva!
A broken sword?
He heard that this was specially selected for him by the Gu Family Ancestor. How could it be a broken sword?
If it erupts at that time and shatters someone else's weapon, it won't be easy to explain!
Gu Qingshan was thinking: This person who eats sauce-flavored big chicken instead of pressure is quite interesting!
Not eating pressure means his ability to withstand pressure is indeed strong!
As for eating sauce-flavored big chicken, it is probably some kind of strange way to Cultivate!
There are many strange people in this world; one cannot look down on others just because they love eating sauce-flavored big chicken!
However, he also knew that those participating in this Genius Tournament were not to be trifled with!
Even if their cultivation level is not high, they have many trump cards!
None of them can be underestimated.
Over the past three days, news about various forces, including the Eternal Realm, Emperor Clans, Longevity Families, and hidden experts, could be heard circulating!
This year's Genius Tournament is truly high-value!
This made Gu Chen even more excited. Making a name for himself would give him more prestige in the Gu Family and allow him to show himself in front of the Old Ancestor!
Thinking of this!
It made Gu Chen even more determined to make a name for himself!
Three days passed in a flash!
During these three days, besides eating and sleeping, Gu Chen practiced his sword!
Jian Wuji taught him three moves: Space-Breaking Sword Draw, Returning One Sword, and a third move with no name!
Jian Wuji only said one sentence: "This sword kills without leaving a trace! After the sword is drawn, the enemy won't even know how they died!"
Gu Chen practiced for three days and barely touched the threshold!
It was far from Major Achievement, but he felt it should be enough!
The three days of training made his Sword Intent more solid, and the Hidden Dragon Sword Body vibrated endlessly, seeming to urge him to make a move soon!
On the morning of the third day, the three of them walked toward the spirit ship terminal!
The terminal was already crowded with people—those going to the Central Plains, those seeing them off, and those watching the fun. It was packed!
The huge spirit ship was docked at the shore, and its powerful Aura made low-level Cultivators dare not get close!
As soon as the three of them stood at the end of the line, a fragrant breeze drifted by!
A woman wearing a veil walked past them, her white clothes like snow, emitting a faint, indescribable, and pleasant fragrance!
Perhaps this is the natural fragrance of a woman!
It smelled good!
Gu Qingshan sniffed: "So fragrant!"
Gu Chen was also attracted by this fragrance, and looking at the woman's posture, she didn't seem simple either!
I'm afraid no one on this ship is simple!
The woman walked to the front of the queue and stood there, followed by two maids, whose Aura were not weak either!
Just then, a noise came from behind!
A few people walked over swaggeringly, led by a young man in a golden robe.
His face was handsome, but his eyes were arrogant, and his chin was raised higher than the sky!
"Move aside! Move aside! Don't block the way!" The attendants behind him shoved the people in line!
Someone turned back in dissatisfaction, but upon seeing the token at the golden-robed man's waist, they immediately shut up and made way!
They dared not say anything more, seemingly knowing the identity of the person in front of them!
The attendants shoved through the queue, and one blind one pushed directly to the front of Gu Chen and the others, raising his hand to shove Gu Qingshan aside.
Before Gu Qingshan could react, Gu Chen had already reached out to stop the attendant's hand!
Gu Chen's voice was not loud: "Line up properly! Why are you cutting in line?"
The attendant was stunned for a moment and looked up and down at Gu Chen and his group!
The three were dressed in ordinary clothes, with no tokens or markings; at a glance, they were not from any major force!
How could they speak so aggressively?
Is this not taking them seriously?
The attendant said with disdain: "Kid, what's your opinion? Do you know who we are? The Zhao Family! The Emperor Clan Zhao Family of the Central Plains!"
The crowd nearby went silent instantly, then exploded!
"The Zhao Family? The Emperor Clan Zhao Family of the Central Plains?"
"Such a big show? Could it be that the one in the golden robe is Zhao Ritian?"
"Great Sun Sacred Body! That Zhao Ritian who has the potential to become an Emperor in the future?"
"There's a good show to watch! Daring to challenge the Zhao Family? Don't want to live anymore?"
"I don't know who these three are? What a pity!"
Li Shuangxu's face changed slightly!
These days he heard a lot of news about the Emperor Clans, and the name Zhao Ritian appeared very frequently!
Great Sun Sacred Body, a Prodigy cultivated by the Emperor Clan Zhao Family with all their might, at the third level of the Sovereign Realm, possessing a quasi-emperor artifact!
He thought he would only encounter these Emperor Clan Geniuses after arriving in the Central Plains; he didn't expect to run into one in Tianyuan Province!
Gu Chen did not change his expression, his hand strength undiminished, and he said lightly: "I don't care who you are! Go and line up, understand?"
Zhao Ritian had already walked past, but hearing this, he stopped and turned back.
He looked at Gu Chen.
He started to laugh!
That smile carried a condescending arrogance!
Zhao Ritian crossed his arms: "Interesting! I, Young Master, have lived for thirty years and this is the first time I've met someone who dares to reason with me in this dump!"
"Dump?" Gu Chen let go of the attendant's hand and looked at Zhao Ritian.
"The place you are standing is Tianyuan Province, the spirit ship terminal. Everyone is lining up, but you don't? I thought the people of the Emperor Clans were very knowledgeable about rules; it turns out they are similar to savages in the forest!"
The whole place was dead silent!
No one dared to speak, even their breathing became much lighter!
Savages?
Calling the Young Lord of the Emperor Clan Zhao Family a savage?
Is this person tired of living?
Zhao Ritian's smile froze on his face, cold light flashing in his eyes!
The attendants behind him stepped forward in unison, aggressive, spiritual power surging, and the lowest was at the Peak of the Sovereign Realm!
Some even reached the Saint Realm!
The crowd whispered!
"Who are those three? Daring to challenge Zhao Ritian?"
"Don't know, never seen them! Maybe they are from a small force in the Eastern Region?"
"A small force dares to be this arrogant? Aren't they afraid of being exterminated by the Zhao Family?"
"Who knows? Maybe they are also ruthless characters! We should speak softly!"
The atmosphere was instantly tense!
This also attracted the white-clad woman to cast her gaze here.
Feeling that angering an Emperor Clan is a very unwise thing to do!
I don't know how these three will escape.
