291: Ji Hongchen

“Cough, cough, cough, you are…”

“Ji Tai Mei?”

Looking at the figure who came before him, the confusion in Zhang Kang’s eyes flashed away, and he suddenly asked…

Ji Tai Mei’s strength was at the Heavenly Human Middle Stage. Although he wasn’t the weakest, in terms of realm alone, he could only be considered mediocre among the ten people present…

However, the reason Zhang Kang had an impression of Ji Tai Mei wasn’t because of Ji Tai Mei’s fame or strength, but because of his thin, small, and ordinary appearance…

Most of the ten people on the stage were tall and handsome.

While appearance wasn’t a mandatory standard for the Profound Weapon Pavilion’s preliminary selection, it was a bonus.

Moreover, as cultivation increased, unless there were special circumstances that prevented changes in appearance, most young Heavenly Talents would not have poor looks.

Therefore, most of the more than two thousand Heavenly Talents ultimately selected had good appearances…

But among the ten people on the stage, only Ji Tai Mei had an ordinary appearance.

And he looked extremely thin and small, as if he was somewhat malnourished.

At this moment, everyone else dared not approach him.

But this unknown Ji Tai Mei actually came to his side…

…

On the other side, Mu Wuchen, who had been watching the situation in the arena, had a slightly solemn expression.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was pondering something…

The reason was simple: the seemingly ordinary man named Ji Tai Mei on the stage…

Was not simple.

Ji Tai Mei…

Ji Tai Mei (Chicken Too Beautiful)…

But this was not his true name.

He had hidden his real identity.

Through the Heavenly Eye, Mu Wuchen easily learned his true name.

His real name was Ji Hongchen.

And his true realm was also not Heavenly Human Middle Stage, but Supreme Eighth Stage!

Supreme Eighth Stage…

Perhaps to others, the Profound Weapon Pavilion seemed like a colossal entity.

But for a top expert with Supreme Eighth Stage cultivation, it was nothing much.

And this so-called martial arts competition to recruit a husband was clearly similar to children playing house.

Mu Wuchen had already learned from Luo Shuihan that within the Qianyan Immortal Domain, there were no Great Emperors, and the strongest was merely at the Supreme Realm Peak…

And Supreme Eighth Stage, even if not the strongest in the Qianyan Immortal Domain, was likely already among the top few existences within the Qianyan Immortal Domain…

With such strength, he could almost walk sideways across the entire Qianyan Immortal Domain…

And such an old monster, who had lived for an unknown number of years, actually came here…

“System, if I encounter life-threatening danger, automatically use the Six Paths Demon Lord Experience Coupon!”

“Yes, Host.”

Mu Wuchen communicated with the system in his mind.

Normally, his current strength was already fully capable of handling most dangers.

If he encountered an unbeatable opponent, he could also let Su Meier and Luo Shuihan take action.

But facing a top expert at Supreme Realm Eighth Stage, if the other party truly used some means or ambushed him, Little Fox and Luo Shuihan might not be able to react in time!

Moreover, Mu Wuchen still didn’t know what Ji Hongchen’s purpose was in coming here, so it was always better to be cautious.

At the same time, Mu Wuchen secretly furrowed his brows.

If Ji Hongchen’s goal was also for the Lingxin Sword, then he would be in a difficult situation…

If they truly fought, while his side might not necessarily be afraid, they might not necessarily gain the upper hand…

After all, each stage of the Supreme Realm was a hurdle, and Ji Hongchen’s realm was quite a bit higher than Little Fox and Luo Shuihan…

“Shuihan, do you know Ji Hongchen?”

Mu Wuchen’s voice suddenly echoed in Luo Shuihan’s mind.

Luo Shuihan was slightly startled and turned her head.

Beside them, Little Fox Su Meier’s ears also twitched slightly, and she too looked at Mu Wuchen.

Mu Wuchen made a shushing gesture with his hand.

These top experts had extremely keen senses.

If he spoke directly to Luo Shuihan, the other party might discover it in advance.

Seeing Mu Wuchen’s actions, Luo Shuihan’s eyes moved slightly, as if she understood.

She pondered for a moment, then transmitted her voice to Mu Wuchen and Su Meier.

“Master, are you referring to Hongchen Supreme?”

Hearing this title, Mu Wuchen was slightly startled, then instructed.

“Tell me about him.”

Beside him, Luo Shuihan only paused for a moment before transmitting her voice again.

“Regarding Hongchen Supreme, I don’t know much either. I only know that he is very powerful, an extremely mysterious old expert in the Qianyan Immortal Domain…”

“Hongchen Supreme often hides his cultivation, appearance, and even seals his memories to seek the Dao in the mortal world and experience the myriad aspects of life…”

“Therefore, among the experts of the Qianyan Immortal Domain, not many are familiar with him. Instead, many ordinary people claim to have seen him…”

“As for me, I have only heard of his name and have never truly seen him…”

…

Luo Shuihan meticulously introduced everything she knew about Hongchen Supreme to Mu Wuchen.

Through her description, Mu Wuchen basically concluded that Ji Tai Mei on the arena was most likely the Hongchen Supreme Luo Shuihan spoke of!

…

At this moment, on the arena, Zhang Kang, who was in the King Realm, was still coughing desperately.

Ji Tai Mei came to Zhang Kang’s side, frowning, shaking his head, and slowly spoke.

“Your injuries are severe. You can’t fight anymore. If you keep fighting, you’ll only get beaten to a pulp.”

Upon hearing Ji Tai Mei’s words, Zhang Kang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Nonsense! If I could fight, would I still be lying here?!”

Suddenly, Ji Tai Mei smiled mysteriously and actually placed a hand on Zhang Kang’s chest.

“Zhang Kang, I once cultivated a technique that can control and enhance others’ physical qualities. Would you like to try it?”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

“My name is Zhang Kang!”

Hearing Ji Tai Mei’s words, Zhang Kang immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clutching his chest and coughing desperately.

He couldn’t help but feel that this Ji Tai Mei in front of him was not very reliable!

However, what this person just said did indeed pique Zhang Kang’s interest.

He was a rogue cultivator, and his ability to cultivate to the King Realm at such a young age relied on his daring to venture, gamble, and fight!

Those who could pass the preliminary selection were definitely not pushovers!

Moreover, the Ji Tai Mei in front of him had an ordinary appearance, average cultivation, and he hadn’t heard of him belonging to any major power. Such a person being able to pass the preliminary selection surely meant he had some tricks up his sleeve!

Furthermore, the other party was only a Heavenly Human, and even though he was somewhat injured, he hadn’t completely lost his combat ability, so he wasn’t afraid of the other party playing tricks!

Thinking of this, Zhang Kang also steeled his heart and slowly spoke to Ji Tai Mei.

“Alright, let’s do it!”

Seeing Zhang Kang’s response, Ji Tai Mei smiled and nodded.

Ji Tai Mei stretched out both hands, and immediately the aura belonging to the Heavenly Human Middle Stage slowly manifested around him. At the same time, countless tiny and eerie black particles slowly appeared around him, merging into Zhang Kang’s body!

At the same time, Ji Tai Mei formed a hand seal and spoke faintly.

“Power of Black Particles!”
