Chapter 329 (2/2)

Standing before the two arenas, the golden-robed teenager Jian Huang and the Meishan Clan Master both turned to look at the sky simultaneously. They spotted Senior Xi Wei communicate briefly with Xue Ying and Chen Jiu before the duo descended.

“The two of you finally arrived.” Jian Huang sighed. “It is truly awe-inspiring that you two could stay in the Great Canyon for a full year.”

“You guys are still stuck here?” Chen Jiu looked toward the two arenas. “According to the intelligence, the first two vine leaf worlds are meant to have fortuitous encounters so as to dig out our potential. From the third vine leaf world onward, the difficulty starts increasing. What, is the third vine leaf world enough to stop the two of you? Is it that hard?”

“You can go try.” The golden-robed teenager Jian Huang was too lazy to explain.

Xue Ying thoroughly examined the two arenas before him.

Passing the third vine leaf world was simple–defeat the opponents within the two arenas!

Afterwards, the challenger could move on to the fourth vine leaf world.

An arena battle…was truly simple, but since it tested one’s combat power, it required genuine ability.

“The arrays created the fat hunk and those three children.” The Meishan Clan Master explained, “They are not true life forms, so their combat power is eternally constant. I used the True Meaning of Space to prevent those three children from jointly attacking me, yet I could barely defeat them by doing so. That fat hunk, however, could not tolerate my evasive maneuvers. I must defeat him head-on, yet I am lacking slightly.”

“The two of us have tried already.” Jian Huang shook his head. “Wu Huang could defeat one of the arenas, yet I can’t even manage doing so for a single one of them, causing my hair to turn white from anguish.”

“Isn’t your hair black?” Chen Jiu teased.

“Take a look.”

Jian Huang pointed at his own hair. Shua—it completely turned white a moment later before flashing back to black. “Ai, it is entirely white now. I had simply made it black.”

“You still have the mood to joke despite not being able to get through these two arenas.” Chen Jiu laughed.

Xue Ying felt that he was quite admirable. One must know that they were under an oath. If the mission failed, they would undoubtedly die. They therefore had no way to withdraw. He had failed both areas…yet Jian Huang could still joke about. His state of heart was truly admirable.

“What is this in comparison to the many Temporal Temple missions where I’ve stared death in the face?” Jian Huang chuckled. “I’ll die if the mission fails, so why die with bitterness? Isn’t dying with happiness significantly better?”

“Alright, alright, you are formidable.” Chen Jiu jumped upward and rushed toward that fat hunk. “Let me try.”

Eight arms appeared on Chen Jiu when he finished speaking. In an imposing manner, he brandished his eight arms like they were eight enormous dragon heads, all unique, and killed his way forward.

The Meishan Clan Master facepalmed.

“Poor guy.” Jian Huang commented.

Peng!

All of a sudden, that fat hunk originally laying there waved out his palm. That palm slapped two of those eight incoming arms as if the palm was a fan.

Chen Jiu’s expression immediately changed. His eyes widened, akin to round balls.

Xiu!

He rushed forward lightning-quick; conversely, he descended even faster! He had immediately been slapped down by that fat hunk, slamming into the ground of the vine leaf. The vast and unfathomably big vine leaf vibrated slightly yet ultimately remained undamaged.

“I…” Chen Jiu’s eyes were widened still.

“You actually dare to face him head-on?” The Meishan Clan Master shook his head. “You only have yourself to blame.”

“How would I know without having tried?” Chen Jiu retorted, though his expression became gloomy. He held a clear estimation of both the Meishan Clan Master and Jiang Huang’s combat power—a level quite similar to his—yet Jian Huang could not even win a single arena! The Meishan Clan Master had depended on his True Meaning of Space to prevent a joint attack from those three children, yet he barely won. As for the other arena? He was unable to defeat the fat hunk.

One must know that Meishan Clan master also grasped the True Meaning of Only Me.

Trouble was brewing.

This was only the third vine leaf world!

Xue Ying looked on from the side. The intelligence reports were not wrong. This was truly challenging.

Bang bang bang. Chen Jiu made another attempt only to once more be slammed back by that fat hunk. The fat hunk’s offense might seem simple, but it was truly formidable.

Chen Jiu attempted thrice before he shook his head in dismay.

“Dong Bo, who knows, you might be the only one capable of crossing the third vine leaf world out of us all” Chen Jiu looked toward Xue Ying.

Startled upon hearing this, the Meishan Clan Master and Jian Huang looked over.

Chen Jiu…was that confident of Xue Ying?
