Chapter 87 – Ruled Them All

“Kaka, see that? I told you he would be number one!”

Big Yellow had an expression of victory, and those who had gambled with him had black lines on their foreheads. Each of them was grinding their teeth, wishing they could tear this big yellow dog apart.

“Where did this young freak come from? How could he be so strong?”

“Hmph! He must be cheating! If he wasn’t, then it would be impossible to be so calm and relaxed!”

“Don’t worry, it’s not over yet, the Little Devil King and Li Wu Shuang will catch up soon!”

…………

Those who had bet started about gloomily. Some of them tried comforting themselves by hoping that the breathless, Little Devil King and Li Wu Shuang, could catch up to Jiang Chen, and get rid of him.

When Jiang Chen jumped up to the 80th step, his face was still carrying a warm smile.

On top of the Stairway to Heaven, Nan Bei Chao and the other three’s expressions changed as well. Especially Liang Xiao from the Heavenly Sword Sect, who had been looking at Jiang Chen since the beginning. A shocked expression covered his face.

“Who is this boy? How is he able to reach the 80th step underneath our pressure, surpassing the Little Devil King and Li Wu Shuang?” Liang Xiao asked with a surprised expression.

“Interesting, look at his Yuan energy waves, he is only at the Early Mortal Core realm. Looks like he has some interesting secrets.”

Bai Hua Die’s gesture was seductive, and gave off a flirtatious feeling from all over her body. Her sexy voice was enough to touch anyone’s heart. Her beautiful eyes stared at Jiang Chen from top to bottom, she expressed an extreme interest in this young man.

“Let’s release our soul pressure together.”

Nan Bei Chao said coldly, while unleashing a powerful soul pressure. Soul pressure and soul energy were two different things. Soul pressure was something invisible, that came from a warrior’s strength, and used a very special way to express itself. It couldn’t be seen or touched, and only affected one’s soul.

“You’re right, we can’t let him reach the 90th step, and we definitely cannot let him reach the top! If he does, then we’ll lose all our face!”

Liang Xiao said.

The other three agreed with what Liang Xiao said. The four of them were indeed the best representatives of the strongest of the younger generation in the Qi Province. If they combined their strength and still failed to suppress an Early Mortal Core warrior, then they would lose all their face.

This time, Nan Bei Chao and the other three unleashed their soul pressure straight away. A majority of it was focused on Jiang Chen. But despite this, the increase in pressure still rendered Little Devil King and Li Wu Shuang immobile. They were stopped above the 70th step and could not even take a single step forwards. Some of the people even showed signs of stepping back.

Feeling the increased pressure, an upward curve appeared on Jiang Chen’s lips. In his heart he snorted coldly, “Trying to suppress me with cultivation pressure and soul pressure? This is the biggest joke in the world!”

Jiang Chen started circulating the Dragon Transformation skill, causing the pressure surrounding him to immediately disappear. As for the soul pressure, he didn’t even care about that. He had the Great Soul Derivation skill, and his soul had already broken through to the Heavenly Core realm. With the help of the Great Soul Derivation skill, the soul pressure could not affect him.

The most important thing was that Jiang Chen was unconsciously emitting the aura of a Saint, which was an aura that matched with the natural environment. Unless someone directly suppressed him with strength or Yuan energy, the invisible cultivation pressure and auras meant literally nothing to him.

Even though Jiang Chen didn’t have the cultivation base of a Saint, he still wouldn’t be suppressed by a few puny Heavenly Core warriors.

“Since you all want to suppress me, I will let you lose all your face!”

Jiang Chen’s eyes were glowing, this was his temper. According to his original intention, he only wanted to get first place, but he had never intended to reach the top. However, since Nan Bei Chao and the other three directly opposed him, they had completely ignited Jiang Chen’s fighting spirit.

On the path of cultivation, momentum and fighting spirit were incredibly important. The will of a person was important as well. Just like right now, facing the pressure of four great warriors, if Jiang Chen submitted to their power, then this incident would leave a failure mark in his mind, which would then turn into a knot in his head. That knot would then become a great obstacle in his future cultivation.

In order to untie this knot, he had to smooth out his will. Therefore, Jiang Chen had to reach the top and stand side by side with these four great warriors. In Jiang Chen’s mind, in this world, no one could stand above him, he would never allow this to happen.

Jiang Chen would never lookup towards someone, he wouldn’t look at anybody with his head tilted upwards. In the mind of the once greatest Saint in this world, only he could sit up high in the leading position, while looking down on everyone else from the top.

In front of Jiang Chen, even if you were a dragon you would still need to crouch, even if you were a tiger you would still need to lay down. It didn’t matter if you were a child of destiny like Nan Bei Chao, you should never put your ego and pride above Jiang Chen.

This was Jiang Chen. After being reincarnated, he still wanted to walk the path of conquering while sitting up high in a leading position, ruling over everyone else. Only the heavens could be compared with him.

“Look! That young man has reached the 80th step, and has attracted the attention of the four big geniuses! Those geniuses are obviously going to unleash even stronger pressure… I guess he won’t be able to resist, he’s definitely going to retreat under such pressure!”

“Where did this young man come from? He is extraordinarily brave!”

“He isn’t backing down! Looks like he is actually resisting the four big warriors! This is terrifying, isn’t he only a Mortal Core warrior? He dares fight the four big geniuses, isn’t he just looking for trouble?”
