Chapter 4249: Spiritual Sense Sneak Attack

Che Shengchong's second test yielded an unexpected result, and his expression turned extremely grim.

He had originally believed that his Yuan Zun Second Grade Rank was sufficient to look down on the Genius Disciples of the First Layer of the Chaotic Saint Realm, and to receive countless admiring glances from female Cultivators.

However, he never expected such an unlucky start; being trampled underfoot by Tantai Jing was one thing, but then Xuan Yuan Linglong appeared, making his Yuan Zun Second Grade cultivation seem like a joke compared to her Yuan Venerable Fourth Grade.

If it were anyone else, he would admit defeat, feeling that his cultivation was insufficient and that he would just have to work harder to improve in the future.

But he was an extremely arrogant person with intense jealousy, and his heart was now filled with rage, his fists clenched, with nowhere to vent.

The testing continued there, with Piaoxiang Valley next. Dragon Granny looked mockingly at Gong Taikang: "How about it? I told you not to even dream of second place."

"Then… then what? At least I'm still in the top three!" Although his face was burning, Gong Taikang still held on, after all, Dongyue Sect was also a large Sect, and always needed some face.

But as soon as his words fell, there was another burst of exclamations, and the recently quiet crowd erupted again.

"Oh my god, it's Yuan Venerable Fourth Grade again! What's happening? Is today a Genius convention?"

"The world has changed, are there really so many Geniuses?" Everyone discussed animatedly, especially those Sect Disciples who had been eliminated, each one showing looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The reason was simple: the Sky Gazing Mirror once again gave a Yuan Venerable Fourth Grade result, and the subject was Yuhua Ling.

"Impossible, I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it!" This time, before Gong Taikang could speak, Che Shengchong was the first to roar.

He had originally thought that this Saint Spirit Convention would allow him to stand above the crowd, at least in the First Layer of the Chaotic Saint Realm, but he never expected to be repeatedly trampled underfoot, which severely wounded his heart.

Custodian Cang Ji frowned, also feeling some doubt in his heart. Breaking through to Yuan Venerable Fourth Grade within a month was not unheard of, but only the Genius Disciples of those top-tier large Sects could achieve such a feat.

But this was only the First Layer of the Chaotic Saint Realm, the lowest Rank among the Nine Layers of the Saint Realm. When he came here before, he never dared to imagine it, thinking that Yuan Zun Second Grade should be the limit here.

Yet now, not only had Yuan Venerable Fourth Grade appeared, but two had appeared at once, completely overturning his understanding.

This time, he directly took out a backup Sky Gazing Mirror and re-tested Yuhua Ling; the result was exactly the same, a genuine Yuan Venerable Fourth Grade.

"Test result valid, continue." Suppressing the shock in his heart, Custodian Cang Ji announced the result, and the testing continued.

Dragon Granny was stunned for a moment. Among Ye Bufan and the other two, she felt that Xuan Yuan Linglong's Aptitude was the best, a Spotless Spiritual Root rarely seen in a million years, which was why she took her into her Sect. But she never expected Yuhua Ling to be so Heaven-Defying as well.

But it didn't matter, she was just at the same Rank as her Disciple. After the shock, she once again looked mockingly at Gong Taikang,

"Some people, ah, always imagine things so beautifully. Still thinking of occupying the top three, how about it now? Do you know you're a good-for-nothing?" After these words were spoken, a burst of mocking laughter erupted around them. It had to be said that Dongyue Sect was truly too embarrassing today.

At first, they wanted to win outright, then they wanted to settle for second place, but now they couldn't even keep a spot in the top three.

If he hadn't been so arrogant and boastful before, no one would have thought anything of it, but now it was completely a joke.

"I…" Gong Taikang felt his face burning, these laughs were like one slap after another, all landing on his face.

As the top Sect in the First Layer of the Chaotic Saint Realm, he had arrived full of confidence, but he never dreamed that he would become the laughingstock of everyone.

He was feeling utterly stifled and frustrated when he turned his head and saw Ku Xuzi next to him, who was actually smiling broadly.

"What are you laughing at? Even if my Disciple is worse, he's still a hundred times stronger than your half-dead Yunhai Sect." Ku Xuzi chuckled: "You're right, you're strong, you're strong." As soon as his words fell, there was another clamor of voices from the testing platform.

"Oh my heavens, what am I seeing? Is today truly a Genius convention?"

"Heaven is unfair, so many Geniuses, why not me…" Feeling that something was amiss, Gong Taikang turned his head to look.

He saw the Sky Gazing Mirror in mid-air once again display four characters: Yuan Venerable Fourth Grade, and

"This…" Seeing this result, he felt a surge of Qi and blood, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

At this moment, his cheeks were burning, and this humiliation was even more intense than being trampled three times in a row before. After all, this was Yunhai Sect, a Sect that had fallen to the extreme, with only three or four Disciples, and he had just mocked Ku Xuzi, saying that even if he was down and out, he was still stronger than him.

As a result, the slap in the face came too quickly, with no pause, a direct slap to the face, and the loudest kind.

Not only him, but Che Shengchong's face was even more grim. The previous Purple Moon Mountain, Pingsha Island, and Piaoxiang Valley were at least large Sects, so losing to their Genius Disciples wasn't too embarrassing.

But what was going on with this guy? A Yunhai Sect that had fallen to the extreme, with only this one Disciple, was actually also Yuan Zun. This made him feel greatly humiliated.

Custodian Cang Ji verified again, confirming the result was correct, and Ye Bufan returned. He walked back cheerfully, and Dragon Granny once again mocked Gong Taikang.

"See? Not just any bull can be boasted about. Two hundred Disciples can't compare to one person, how embarrassing, truly embarrassing!"

"I…" Gong Taikang's old face turned liver-colored. Having lived so many years, he had never felt such shame as he did today.

But there was nothing he could do, the facts were right there, who told his Disciple to be inferior. While he was both ashamed and angry, Che Shengchong was even more so, glaring sinisterly at Ye Bufan, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

Ye Bufan walked back cheerfully, about to return to Ku Xuzi's side, when suddenly a sharp pain came from his mind, feeling as if his Sea of Consciousness had been bitten by a mosquito.

He was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was a Divine Sense Cultivation Technique, and someone was actually launching a Divine Sense attack on him.

He had always been the one to ambush others with his Divine Sense Blade; this was the first time he had been ambushed with a Divine Sense Cultivation Technique. Fortunately, his Mental Energy was abnormally strong, having already reached the Yuandi Stage Early Stage, while the opponent was merely a Yuan Zun Rank expert.

The biggest taboo of Divine Sense Cultivation Technique was to use it on someone with Mental Energy stronger than oneself. At this moment, he showed no mercy, his Mental Energy erupted violently, and countless Divine Sense Blades shattered the invading Divine Sense into pieces.

He did not use the Divine Sense Blade to counter-kill, after all, the attacker was too weak, and the Divine Sense backlash alone would be enough to give the opponent a hard time; there was no need to expose his trump card of Divine Sense Cultivation Technique.

As soon as he annihilated the invading Divine Sense, Che Shengchong let out a pig-like shriek of agony, clutching his head and crashing into a nearby rock.
