Chapter 1736: Complete and Utter Defeat (1/2)

shi+ Xuan’s oht The cauldron’s resonance was a curse upon him and pushed him to near breakdown

No matter how confident he was of himself, he knew he’d never break that record His mind blanked in this denial of reality How could an inexperienced brat possibly do this?

Jiang Chen smiled lazily “You may turn around now, shi+ Xuan”

shi+ Xuan tensed, his expression contorted in a scowl He knew better than anyone that he’d truly lost, and it was a loss that he couldn’t deny His mind was in morass as he wondered how his failure came to be Where did the sacred land even find this youth?

Even with countless eyes watching theo back on his word, but his heart spasht of the oath he’d sworn His reputation would never recover fro Chen didn’t rush his opponent As it were, iit would take some time for the cauldron to cool down

The spectators e of odd expressions Those from the Eternal Sacred Land could barely suppress their joy, while delegates from the other factions were stunned that shi+ Xuan had lost

If they’d heard about the match rather than witnessed it themselves, they would’ve never believed the outcoh defeating pill dao figureheads at a young age No one had ever foreseen he’d one day be huround into the dirt They’d witnessed an unbelievable feat!

The cauldron was about cooled by now Jiang Chen rerity and lose with dignity, shi+ Xuan It’s your turn Are you going to play dead, or are you going to break your oath?”

shi+ Xuan turned beet red He wanted nothing more than to bury his head in the sand, to leave the place where he had lost his pride

But, he couldn’t

There was no place for him to hide, and the heavenly laouldn’t allow him to break his oath Nonetheless, he hadn’t tried his hand with the cauldron yet He hadn’t lost, yet There was still a chance

He decided to give it a go Maybe the cauldron was easier to heat up than usual?

Sadly, his atteh he was highly skilled in controlling fire, more than one third of the incense stick had burned when the cauldron rang He’d taken al Chen had

Most ih, it was nowhere near as arresting and dra Chen’s atte about pill dao could tell the difference The sound signified the finesse of the heating process, and it reflected a pill expert’s mastery and control over a cauldron It was undeniable that Jiang Chen had defeated shi+ Xuan in every aspect

shi+ Xuan’s footsteps faltered He itched to smash the cauldron to pieces and raze the entire sacred land, but neither ithin the limits of his ability

The bet was at an end He had lost two rounds in a row,him the clear loser

He’d clai he didn’t knoas clear that some boasts were better left unsaid His hubris had destroyed his reputation and even deprived him of freedom

Applause slowly started up fro ovation, but many followed the crowd and clapped The tide applause made a clown out of shi+ Xuan, who stood at the center of the stage

The ed man from Flora Divine Nation exclaimed, “Wait, wait! This is a conspiracy! A conspiracy, I say! Think about it Master shi+ Xuan’s extraordinarily talented in pill dao! How old is this kid? How could he possibly have defeated Master shi+ Xuan? This a trap carefully designed by the Eternal Sacred Land to set up my master!”

The man had to be shi+ Xuan’s attendant He hopped and hollered like the court jester, trying to overturn the bet

But Yan Qingsang wasn’t going to let that slide “Sounds like you’re going back on your bet Be uest! See if the heavens make you pay! How dare you call this a trap!? Is there a brain in that empty head of yours? How could Shao Yuan have set up yourto brag and planned the bet beforehand? Do you honestly think that’s possible??”
