293: Is that all the vision you have?

Hantian Sect, Outer Sect Elders' Hall.

"Deacon Zhang, are you saying my spot was taken by Yang Chen?" a young Disciple wearing Outer Sect robes asked.

"Chen Youliang, this decision was made by Elder Liu Yansong. If you have any questions, you can go find Elder Liu Yansong," Outer Sect Deacon Zhang Jiedao said.

"This Disciple refuses to accept this! Yang Chen is merely a piece of trash at the first layer of the True God Realm now. By what right does he replace me?" Chen Youliang's face twisted in anger.

The Three Great Powers Ranking Tournament happens every ten years. He had finally reached the fifth layer of the True God Realm and was originally preparing to shine in this Outer Court Ranking Tournament. He never expected that the spot he had worked so hard to get would be taken by Yang Chen.

"Alright, the Elders' Hall is not a place for you to throw a tantrum. However, I can offer you a suggestion," Zhang Jiedao said.

"Please speak, Deacon Zhang," Chen Youliang said, calming himself down.

"Aren't you unwilling to accept this? Actually, you could just go find Yang Chen and have him return the spot to you!" A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Jiedao's mouth.

"Thank you, Deacon Zhang. This Disciple will take his leave." A cold glint flashed in Chen Youliang's eyes, and he left the Elders' Hall.

...

At this moment, Yang Lingchen brought Shangguan Qianyue to the Hantian Sect's Outer Sect. After all, he was currently just an Outer Sect Disciple of the Hantian Sect, and he could not enter the areas for Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples at will.

"Can't go here, can't go there. Yang Chen, I didn't expect you to be doing so poorly now!" Shangguan Qianyue said with a pursed smile.

"If you feel bored, you can go back," Yang Lingchen said. He was still thinking about going back to refine that immortal spirit fruit.

"It's not boring. What? I, the dignified Saintess of the Black Cloud Palace, am following you, and you're not happy about it?" Shangguan Qianyue pouted playfully.

"How could that be?" Yang Lingchen smiled awkwardly.

Just then, Chen Youliang walked over to Yang Lingchen, furious.

"Yang Chen, you piece of trash, what qualifications do you have to steal my spot for the ranking tournament?"

"Heh... heh...!"

"Yang Chen, it seems you have some trouble!" Shangguan Qianyue smiled and walked to the side. She wanted to see how Yang Lingchen would resolve this trouble.

"Who are you calling trash?"

Yang Lingchen's tone was icy, and his eyes revealed a sharp cold glint.

Although Yang Chen was dead, as long as he was using this identity, he would not allow others to insult Yang Chen at will.

Yang Lingchen's icy gaze made Chen Youliang shudder involuntarily.

But upon remembering that the other party was just a piece of trash at the first layer of the True God Realm, Chen Youliang became instantly enraged and said disdainfully:

"I'm calling you a piece of trash, so what? Do you really think of yourself as a Saint?"

"Slap...!"

A cold glint flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes, and he swung his right hand, slapping Chen Youliang away directly.

"Ah... ah... ah... ah...!"

"Pfft...!"

Chen Youliang let out a miserable scream. His right cheek was completely deformed, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and his front teeth scattered all over the ground.

The moment Yang Lingchen slapped Chen Youliang away, a strange look flashed in Shangguan Qianyue's beautiful eyes.

She really found it hard to believe that someone at the first layer of the True God Realm could slap someone at the fifth layer of the True God Realm away. This was simply too exaggerated!

"Young Miss Shangguan, we've walked enough. Why don't you go back?" Yang Lingchen said.

"You want me to go back by myself?" Shangguan Qianyue said.

"Of course I will send you off," Yang Lingchen said.

Walking on the road, Shangguan Qianyue asked curiously: "You are hiding things very deeply!"

"What is there to hide?" Yang Lingchen said with a sheepish smile.

"No hiding? Then how did you slap him away?" Shangguan Qianyue said.

"He was just too careless!" Yang Lingchen said.

"Return the God Crystals and the immortal spirit fruit to me." Shangguan Qianyue reached out her slender, jade-like hands in front of Yang Lingchen.

"Why?" Yang Lingchen was stunned. He had worked so hard to get the God Crystals and the immortal spirit fruit; he didn't want to return them.

"This Young Lady intends to give you another fifty years." Shangguan Qianyue smiled with pursed lips.

"That's not necessary, is it?" Yang Lingchen said, "Besides, the deal has already been made. I cannot return the God Crystals and the immortal spirit fruit to you."

"Is This Young Lady not worth more than twenty thousand God Crystals and an immortal spirit fruit?" Shangguan Qianyue scolded playfully.

"I think the God Crystals and the immortal spirit fruit are more practical," Yang Lingchen laughed.

"You...! Is that all your vision amounts to?" Shangguan Qianyue said angrily.

"What's wrong with my vision?"

Yang Lingchen laughed, "Young Miss Shangguan, if you have grand vision, you can give me another twenty thousand God Crystals. In three years, I will return two hundred thousand God Crystals to you. How about it? Do you want to demonstrate your vision?"

"The ghost would believe you!" Shangguan Qianyue rolled her eyes at Yang Lingchen and said, "Get lost! This Young Lady will go back by herself."

"Fine, then I'm off." After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he walked towards his dormitory.

"Why do I always feel that he is not as simple as he looks on the surface?" Watching Yang Lingchen's departing back, Shangguan Qianyue muttered to herself.

News of Yang Lingchen slapping Chen Youliang away quickly spread throughout the entire Hantian Sect.

Normally, no one would pay attention to such matters between Outer Sect Disciples.

However, Yang Chen was previously a Saint and the Hantian Sect's number one Genius in recent years. Although his cultivation level had regressed and he had become an Outer Sect Disciple, his every word and action would still attract the attention of countless people.

...

Xiao Menger's residence.

"Senior Sister Menger, Senior Brother Yang Chen slapped Chen Youliang, who is at the fifth layer of the True God Realm, away and replaced his qualification for the ranking tournament," a woman in white said.

"He broke through to the fifth layer of the True God Realm?" A trace of surprise appeared in Xiao Menger's eyes.

"According to people at the scene, Senior Brother Yang Chen is still at the first layer of the True God Realm," the woman in white said.

"Mhm, I see. Caiyi, you can go down. Also, help me keep an eye on him. If he is in danger, you must notify me," Xiao Menger said.

"Yes, Senior Sister Menger." Caiyi responded and then walked out.

...

Han Shao Peak.

"Senior Brother Zhen, Yang Chen just defeated Chen Youliang, who is at the fifth layer of the True God Realm, and obtained the qualification to participate in the ranking tournament," Zhou Jiecheng said.

"That's impossible! Did he break through to the fifth layer of the True God Realm?" Zhen Tianyu asked suspiciously.

"According to people at the scene, the cultivation level Yang Chen displayed is still at the first layer of the True God Realm, but I always feel that he has hidden his cultivation level," Zhou Jiecheng said.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhen Tianyu asked.

"Last time, he broke my limbs. Although it was because he ambushed me, the Combat Power he erupted with far exceeded that of a Cultivator at the same Realm," Zhou Jiecheng said in a deep voice.

"Have someone go and test him to see how much strength he actually has left," Zhen Tianyu said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhen," Zhou Jiecheng said.
