Chapter 1914: Spar (1/2)

However, the meaning of Jian Chen’s words became twisted when some people in the surroundings heard them.

Many people who doubted that Jian Chen possessed the battle prowess to make it onto the Overgods’ Plaque became even more confident in their thoughts.

“Luo Yunfei of the Sword Sect of the Azure Clothed is famous in the Tai’a Empire. Not only is he a direct disciple of one of the sect’s ancestors, but his talent also makes him a unique existence within the southern region as well. He has even been named the strongest Overgod in the Tai’a Empire. Does Jian Chen know about Luo Yunfei’s strength, which is why he is not brave enough to spar with him?”

“That must be the case. Jian Chen just possesses some unearned reputation. After just some sentences from those people who have no knowledge of the Overgods’ Plaque at all, everyone else has been convinced that he can really make it onto there. In reality, he’s not even senior Luo’s opponent.”

“I’m certain that if Jian Chen accepted the spar, senior Luo would beat him to a pulp.”

The people who watched on in the surroundings all discussed softly. Many people looked at Jian Chen with deep disdain.

On the other hand, the handsome Luo Yunfei who wore azure clothes and held a thin sword earned the cheers from many people. Some of the beauties from a few large organisations would even gaze at him lovingly, having been deeply attracted by his presence. It left them infatuated.

Not only did Luo Yunfei possess extraordinary talent, but he was also a direct disciple of the ancestor of the Sword Sect of the Azure Clothed as well. His status was so great that he even surpassed the princes of the Tai’a Empire.

Naturally, the female disciples from other organisations were closely attracted to Luo Yunfei who had an extraordinary background.

A sliver of arrogance appeared on Luo Yunfei’s face as he heard the discussions aroung him. He looked a Jian Chen from above and said, “So many of us have hurried over from distant lands. Naturally, it’s all for repelling the Empyrean Demon Cult. However, having a spar before the war begins won’t affect the battle at all. Instead, it’ll entertain everyone while they have time to spare.”

Luo Yunfei did not back off at all. Instead, he drew closer as if he would not let Jian Chen pass if they did not spar.

He had already made up his mind. He would defeat the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan before everyone today so that everyone would stop spreading rumors that this fellow could make it onto the Overgods’ Plaque. Moreover, he would let everyone know that making it onto the Overgods’ Plaque was not that easy.

This was because several dozen years ago, he himself had ventured to the central region and attempted to make it onto the Overgods’ Plaque with great ambition. However, he ended up leaving in failure.

He was nowhere near close to making it onto the Overgods’ Plaque.

As a result, he naturally did not wish to see an untested person being labelled as if they had already made it onto the plaque. That would basically mean he, Luo Yunfei, was not as great as them.

“Looks like you’re determined to spar with me,” Jian Chen said. He remained seated on the flying vehicle. His gaze was calm, and his face did not change at all, “If that’s the case, I’ll spar with you. However, the war is of utmost importance, so to avoid any delays, let’s limit the sparring to a single move.”

“Limit it to a single move?” Luo Yunfei frowned when he heard that. Although he was confident that Jian Chen did not possess the strength to make it onto the Overgods’ Plaque, he had still defeated the two protectors of the Earth Spirit sect by himself after all. Achieving victory against him in a single move would definitely be difficult.

“What? Limit it to a single move? Isn’t the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan simply too sly? He knows he’s not senior Luo’s opponent, so he wants to limit the spar to a single move. That way, even if senior Luo is far more powerful than him, it’s impossible to determine victory as they’re both late Overgods after all,” a female protector from the Sword Sect of the Azure Clothed scoffed.

The people in the surroundings nodded to themselves. The woman’s words did make sense.

“If you can move me at all in a single move, it’ll be my loss. How about that?” Jian Chen continued. He slowly rose up and left the aircraft.

“With Luo Yunfei’s strength, there are barely any people who can remain still after he strikes out with his full strength. Jian Chen is going to lose for sure. However, seeing how he defeated the protectors from the Earth Spirit sect, even if he’s not as great as Luo Yunfei, he can’t be too far off. Luo Yunfei will definitely be able to move Jian Chen in a single strike, but he might not necessarily be able to injure him. As a result, Jian Chen won’t suffer a horrific defeat even if he loses,” an Overgod who also came from a large sect said from within the crowd.

“In a prolonged battle, Jian Chen will definitely be reduced to an extremely horrific shape, which was why he set such a condition. He’s just trying to protect his own pride as much as possible, so he won’t have to suffer a horrible defeat. Haha, interesting. It sure is interesting. Even without fighting, Jian Chen who is supposed to be able to make it onto the Overgods’ Plaque is already ready to lose.”
