Chapter 549: Chapter 298: Setting up a Challenge Stage in Front of the Thousand Martial Hall_2
However, the Thousand Martial Hall was closely watched by Wu Tianan. Once they violated the rules of the rivalry of the Young Geniuses, Wu Tianan would inevitably find a reason to strike them.
The rest of the Transcendent Spirit Sects might not ally with the Thousand Martial Hall against Wu Tianan because of this issue.
In the previous battle at the Wanxing Martial Arts Academy, the former lord of the Thousand Martial Hall took action and defeated Wu Tianan. But the latter was quite remarkable and managed to escape with his life.
And his strength has further improved, reaching the Martial Arts limit of the Ling Domain!
Under the scrutiny of such a powerful person, the Thousand Martial Hall could only bear it temporarily.
"The strength of the Thousand Martial Hall is very strong. Their young geniuses all have spiritual body talents. With a gap of two major realms, I may not be able to suppress them with my current strength.
"Moreover, once all the young geniuses of the Thousand Martial Hall are defeated, these old guys will definitely not sit still. If they swarm up, it will be a bit difficult for me to escape with my current strength.
"At that time, I will inevitably have to use the Jade Talisman of Divine Skills offered by my Master. This is not good. How can Xu Yan, who walks in the Martial Arts world, rely on the protection of his Master?
"I am about to break through to the Divine Origin Realm. After a few more battles, it should be about right. Once I enter the Divine Origin Realm, there will be nothing to fear."
Xu Yan secretly thought to himself.
"Fine, then I, Xu Yan, will suppress all the Young Geniuses of the Thousand Martial Province!"
Xu Yan nodded coldly.
Song Zeng, with a dark face, thought Xu Yan was truly arrogant. Did he really want to suppress all the Young Geniuses of the Thousand Martial Province by himself?
"This seat really wants to see how you could suppress the Young Geniuses of the Thousand Martial Province!"
Song Zeng snorted coldly.
The surrounding martial artists immediately perked up. The Thousand Martial Province is about to become lively. Those young geniuses are likely to appear one after another.
"Where is Xu Yan going to challenge next? One of the Seven Sects and Eight Families of the Three Kingdoms?"
"Definitely, these are all subordinate forces of the Thousand Martial Hall."
The martial artists conversed privately.
As for Xu Yan, he moved back when everyone thought he was going to leave. But as a result, Xu Yan raised his hand and struck down with a palm.
Boom!
Several hundred feet away from the gate of Thousand Martial Hall, the soil churned and piled up together. In a short while, a platform made of compacted soil appeared, standing tens of feet tall.
On the flat platform, Xu Yan took out various unknown treasures and stabbed them into four corners of the platform. In an instant, an unknown force condensed and gathered on the platform made of piled-up soil.
As this force gathered, the platform made of piled-up soil became as sturdy as a rock.
Xu Yan stood proudly on the platform with his sword and shouted, "I, Sword God Xu Yan, challenge the Young Geniuses of the Thousand Martial Province here outside the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall!"
All the martial artists present were stunned. How could he be so bold?
They thought he was going to leave the gate of Thousand Martial Hall and challenge the various forces, but he ended up building a platform right outside the Thousand Martial Hall to challenge the young geniuses of the Thousand Martial Province?
Song Zeng's face turned green with anger. "Xu Yan, you insolent boy!"
Xu Yan glanced back at him, "This is what you said, I can challenge your Young Geniuses of Thousand Martial Hall after defeating all the Young Geniuses of the Thousand Martial Province. The Thousand Martial Province is so vast, it is tiring for me to go around all by myself.
"Setting up a fighting platform right outside the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall is much more convenient, and it's also easier for you of Thousand Martial Hall to watch the fight. Otherwise, you won't admit it even after I have defeated all the Young Geniuses of the Thousand Martial Province!"
Song Zeng had a dark face. As unreasonable as it might seem, there was truth to his words. But setting up a competition platform openly at the gate of Thousand Martial Hall was practically a direct slap in the face!
"Xu Yan, don't you think you can do whatever you want just because the rules of Young Genius rivalry are in place?"
Song Zeng said murderously.
"I, Xu Yan, have never cared about so-called rules. Rules are restraints for the weak. I, Xu Yan, always break rules. Your Transcendent Spirit Sect's rules are nothing but dog shit in my eyes.
"Today, I challenge the Young Geniuses of the Thousand Martial Province right here. If you don't agree, let your Young Geniuses from the Thousand Martial Hall come and fight.
"If you want to bully the weak because of your size, then just make a move. After all, everyone says that the Thousand Martial Hall is the most shameless....."
Xu Yan looked at Song Zeng obliquely. His posture and expression were filled with disdain and contempt, provoking Song Zeng's rage. He was so angry that his face turned red, his aura condensed, and he unconsciously gripped his knife.
The spectators withdrew a little distance, looking at the figure on the platform, they were amazed. This was the first person to set up a ring outside the Transcendent Spirit Sect.
The Blood Demon of the past, no matter how arrogant and outrageous he was, he never dared to set up a ring outside the Transcendent Spirit Sect. Xu Yan is the first in the history of the Ling Domain!
Thousand Martial Hall is widely recognized as the most shameless in the Transcendent Spirit Sect, even more so than many other sects, a fact almost universally acknowledged in the Ling Domain, among the numerous sects and families.
But nobody has ever dared to outright address them as the most shameless.
Today, history has been witnessed!
A fierce man made his statement in front of Thousand Martial Hall's mountain gate!
Song Zeng's face turned red with anger, he had never been so shamefully insulted before, and it was a loose cultivator, a mere teenager, who was so disdainful and offensive to him in person.
If he swallowed it down, what would that make him more than a coward?
Xu Yan had to die!
"Xu Yan, no matter who is backing you, you must be dead today..."
Song Zeng gritted his teeth, the blade in his hand gathering a thread of the energy of heaven and earth, ready to strike like thunder and kill the annoying boy on the high platform on the spot.
But immediately, his expression drastically changed, as he raised his head to a certain place, a subtle but definitive aura locked onto him, a strong sense of danger rose in his heart.
At the same time, the Thousand Martial Lord moved his body, reaching above the clouds, his face solemn, filled with caution.
Inside the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall, a powerful force was gathering, preparing to strike.
Song Zeng moved his body back to the sect's gate of the Thousand Martial Hall and stood with the elders, looking up at the sky with an extremely grave expression.
Xu Yan was surprised for a moment. Was this coward really going to hide from the battle?
Then his heart jumped, and he looked up at a certain place.
"So strong!"
At this moment, his heart felt ice-cold.
"Much stronger than Huang Liang. If he attacked, apart from my master's Divine Skills Jade Talisman, I wouldn't be able to escape."
At this moment, Xu Yan had to take it seriously.
"I am still too weak. Even if I don't enter the Divine Skill Realm, advancing to the Great Completion of the Divine Origin Realm, I could still face this powerful opponent."
With his keen senses, he noticed that in mid-air, a massive gathering of the Great Power of Heaven and Earth was taking place. This was not simply a coalescing of Heavenly Earth Lingji, but something far more profound.
"Could it be the power of Heaven and Earth Laws?"
Xu Yan muttered in his heart.
Above the clouds, a man who resembled a schoolteacher, holding a book in one hand as if deeply engrossed in it, held a measuring scale in another, paying no attention to the Thousand Martial Lord with his gloomy countenance.
"Wu Tianan!"
The Thousand Martial Lord gritted his teeth and said grimly, "You dare to come to my Thousand Martial Hall, aren't you afraid of your life?"
Wu Tianan flipped a page of the book with his measuring scale, smiling and saying, "You can try to kill me, I am here to ensure no one violates the rules of the Path of the Transcendents competition."
"After all, the Thousand Martial Hall is infamous for its shamelessness. Everybody knows it. Even the little fellow below knows."
"Hmph, let's see how long you can continue your arrogance!"
The Thousand Martial Lord snorted coldly.
The Thousand Martial Lord returned to the Thousand Martial Hall gate, and said in a deep voice. "Wu Tianan has arrived, Xu Yan is likely his disciple, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to challenge us directly.
So, we must arrange for the Celestial children of the three countries and eight clans to strike and heavily reward anyone who can defeat him, regardless of whether they are within a thousand martial states."
The Thousand Martial Lord commanded with a gloomy face.
"Yes, Lord!"
All the elders felt a chill in their hearts.
Above the clouds, Wu Tianan also looked perplexed, "Why is Xu Yan's Sword Dao so profound and unheard of, where does his inheritance come from?"
Challenge the power of the Thousand Martial Hall directly to its front gate as a loose cultivator. Where does this boy gain his confidence and courage?
Even the former blood spirit child was not so arrogant!
Xu Yan's challenge to the Celestial children of the Thousand Martial states at the gate of Thousand Martial Hall spread at an extremely fast pace.
The entire Thousand Martial states were shocked, everyone was astounded. Who was Xu Yan and why was he so presumptuous and brave?
What was even more baffling, the Thousand Martial Hall did not suppress Xu Yan with thunderous measures, allowing his challenge to the Celestial children at the Mountain gate.
"Xu Yan, do not be arrogant. Celestials of the Thousand Martial Hall are not someone you can challenge. Today, I am here to kill you!"
A figure is flying quickly toward this.
