Chapter 1573: Too Disgraceful (1/2)
Both Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Lei glanced in his direction in unison.
They saw Zhou Chen treading towards them, in mid-air. He was wearing a green brocade and looked like he was in high spirits. However, a strange look developed on the faces of the disciples, elders, and hall masters when they noticed the green brocade on his body. Their gazes slowly turned to his head.
Thankfully, his head wasn’t cloaked in green.
Sun Shihai, Yan Ying, and a group of disciples from the Snow Moon Hall followed behind him.
Huang Xiaolong’s gaze rested on the well built young man that was following closely behind Yan Ying.
The young man who cut an imposing figure was known as Liu Yong. He was the disciple of Yan Ying and it was said that he was one of the strongest disciples in the selections. Moreover, he was at the Tenth Order God King Realm!
When Huang Xiaolong turned to catch a look at Zhou Chen and Sun Shihai, Zhou Chen, Sun Shihai, Liu Yong, and even the hall master of the Snow Moon Hall, Yan Ying, turned to look at him at the same time. It was as though they were sizing up the competition.
A cold light flashed across Zhou Chen’s eyes the moment they landed on Huang Xiaolong.
The disciples of the Snow Moon Hall, including Liu Yong, had varied expressions on their faces. Sun Shihai had an air of conceit around him and Yan Ying smiled coquettishly.
Zhou Chen and Yan Ying quickly made their way to the main table and sat down.
Meanwhile, Sun Shihai and Liu Yong settled down in the waiting stand.
“Martial Uncle Sun! Senior brother Liu Yong!” Excitement broke out in the crowd as many of them rushed to give their greetings.
Sun Shihai and Liu Yong merely nodded their heads in acknowledgement.
“Martial Uncle Sun’s power is extraordinary indeed! Allow us to offer your early congratulations on qualifying.” Some people in the crowd laughed heartily.
“With Martial Uncle Sun’s combat prowess, it’s impossible for you to lose! You will definitely rank in the top 100!”
“Only among the top hundred? I bet he’s in the top thirty!”
Huang Xiaolong shook his head and chuckled when he heard how hard the disciples were trying to flatter Sun Shihai. They’re not flattering him… They’re just b*llshitting at this point.
Although Sun Shihai was at the peak of the late-Fifth Order God King Realm, his combat abilities put him on the same level as an expert in the late-Sixth Order God King Realm. Out of all the strong disciples taking part in the selections, none of them were weaker than Sun Shihai. He would at best be put in the top 1000. He wouldn’t even be able to make it into the top 500s, much less the top 100.
On the main table, Zhao Lei nodded towards Zhou Chen and greeted, “Ancestor Zhou Chen.”
Although he did not want to deal with Zhou Chen, Zhao Lei still had to show proper respect.
Zhou Chen chuckled, “Zhao Lei, my old brother, to tell you the truth, I have been envious of you ever since you managed to take such a good disciple under your wing.”
Zhao Lei laughed and replied, “Thank you very much, I am but an ordinary Emperor. I am lucky enough to get a disciple with a King of Supreme Godhead...” Without pushing the topic, he turned to look at Zhou Chen’s green brocade and said, “You look really good today.”
Zhou Chen was stunned and his gaze shifted towards his brocade.
Does it really look that good?
“It’s very green!”
When he heard Zhao Lei’s comment, Zhou Chen’s facial expression changed. He never thought so deeply into it. However, he regained his composure in the next instant and chuckled, “If you find my outfit nice, I’ll ask my men to make a few sets for you!”
Zhao Lei laughed, “There’s no need! I don’t like the color green.”
All the other Hall Masters, elders, and even the grand elders shifted their gaze away.
“The Sect Master, Ancestor Li Shan, and Ancestor Chen Yirong are here!”
