The young prodigies of the second floor did not dare to challenge those of the third floor. They were just worried that the three great families would take revenge on them.
However, just because they didn't dare to challenge the third floor didn't mean that they were completely convinced by the young geniuses.
Although there were many young talents on the second floor who hadn't stepped into the seventh branch yet, there were quite a few who had reached the peak of the sixth branch or even the perfection stage.
Chen Xun's trivial strength at the fourth meridian couldn't get the approval of these young talents on the second floor, especially since Chen Xun was already 15 years old.
The further one's Invigorated Meridian Stage progressed, the longer it would take them to break through.
Chen Xun was only 15 years old and had just entered the fourth meridian. It was unknown whether or not he could break through to the seventh meridian in another four or five years. He would only be able to push himself to his sixth meridian.
How could the young geniuses of the second floor accept this?
They asked themselves if they had Chen Xun's identity and position, as well as the resources and cultivation environment they enjoyed normally. They would certainly be even more outstanding than Chen Xun, and who knew if they had already entered the 7th meridian.
Some of them even thought highly of themselves, thinking that if they could enjoy the same treatment as Chen Chihee and Du Yangpeng, they might even possess Minor Circulation below the age of twenty.
This kind of unwillingness and unwillingness formed their envy for the young talents on the third floor. They even wished that the young talents on the third floor would lose face and be doomed.
It was just that they didn't dare to do it themselves.
Now, Zhang Hongyi wanted to challenge Chen Xun by name, and these young talents on the second floor, who were full of envy for the third floor, were naturally gloating.
On the third floor, Chen Xun's face was stiff and he did not want to fight.
Forget about the rest of the Chen Family, even he himself knew that at today's tea party, he was just someone who came to make a fool of himself.
There was not much of a possibility for him to catch the attention of a direct disciple of the Profound Imagery Sect, it was just that there was always a trace of hope in his heart.
"Hurry up and go, don't tell me you want others to laugh at our Chen Family." Uncle Chen could not help but berate when he saw Chen Xun's cowardly appearance.
Second Uncle Chen couldn't help but say, "That Zhang Hongyi has five meridians cultivation. He is bullying the weak. Even if he refuses, no one can say so."
Mr Chen scoffed, "Bullying the weak? Don't forget, that Zhang Hongyi is half a year younger than Chen Xun. Where did he come from to bully the young? "
Second Uncle Chen's expression darkened.
"Chen Xun, do you dare to fight with me?" Seeing that Chen Xun didn't want to come out, Zhang Hongyi immediately shouted.
The young elites of the second and third floor were already discussing in low voices.
"Why isn't Chen Xun out yet?"
"I think he's scared. I heard that Zhang Hongyi has broken through to the fifth meridian."
"Don't mention Zhang Hongyi having a breakthrough, even if he hadn't, Chen Xun probably wouldn't have been able to beat Zhang Hongyi."
"If Chen Xun doesn't dare to fight, then Chen Family will lose a lot of face this time."
"At the very least, Zhang Hongyi is a five meridians Invigorated Meridian Stage Martial Cultivator. Isn't challenging a mere four meridians like Chen Xun a little bullying the weak?"
"Bullying the weak? You must be joking. Zhang Hongyi is half a year younger than Chen Xun. Could it be that he wanted Zhang Hongyi to challenge Dai and Chen Chang? "Both of them are between eighteen and nineteen years old, four years older than Zhang Hongyi. Their martial arts cultivation is also one level higher than Zhang Hongyi's. If Zhang Hongyi does not challenge Chen Xun, who else can he challenge?"
"Among the people his age, I think only Du Family's Du Rui can compete with him."
"Not bad, I hope you can see these two fight as soon as possible."
Northern Shadow Room, Chen Hanhai's face was also unbearably dark, especially when the other two Patriarchs suddenly laughed softly, which made Chen Hanhai's mood even worse, and felt that it was too embarrassing.
"This kid is usually so unreasonable at home, why is he so cowardly outside!" Chen Hanhai cursed in his heart.
In a split-second, other than Second Uncle Chen and Chen Chihee, the rest of the people looked at Chen Xun with unfriendly gazes.
Even the two Circulation Stage Elders who had come, spoke with a dark tone: "Chen Xun, even if you lose, you have to fight."
Chen Xun had a bitter face, but he could only slowly get up.
He knew that if he avoided battle today, he would become a joke in the Yongde Town tomorrow.
Grandfather Chen Hanhai, the elders of the family will scold him.
Chen Chihee said in a low voice: "Make your move, if you lose, I'll help you get back at him."
Only then did Chen Xun's face look a lot better.
Chen Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Chen Chihee's words.
Zhang Hongyi is younger than Chen Xun, the challenge Chen Xun Chen Xun does not respond to the battle, Chen Xun will be laughed at.
Chen Chihee was nearly five years older than Zhang Hongyi, his martial arts training was still at eight meridians open. If Chen Chihee wanted to take revenge for Chen Xun and challenge Zhang Hongyi, even if Zhang Hongyi refused, no one would laugh at Zhang Hongyi.
On the contrary, there would instead be people who mocked Chen Chihee for bullying the weak.
This was truly bullying the weak.
Chen Xun jumped down from the second floor and said coldly, "Make your move."
Zhang Hongyi's mouth revealed a hint of ridicule. Did he think that he couldn't see Chen Xun's cowardice?
The five meridians battled four meridians. Needless to say, Chen Xun was defeated within a few moves.
Such a fast speed caused the Chen Family to lose all light.
Northern Shadow Room, Chen Hanhai covered his face.
"Isn't it too fast? At least let's fight for a few dozen moves."
"He lost in five moves. This Chen Xun's cultivation level must be fake right?"
"I heard that Chen Xun relied on elixirs to break through. Looks like it's true."
The young handsome man on the second floor laughed loudly, full of ridicule for Chen Xun.
"You all …" When had Chen Xun ever received such mockery? He was so angry that he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
This scene caused everyone to be stunned.
Chen Yi and Mr Chen glanced at Second Uncle Chen in amusement, causing Second Uncle Chen's face to turn livid.
The two Circulation Stage Elders also had an awkward expression.
Uncle Chen shook his head with a bitter smile. This kid was being overpraised, he couldn't even stand such a little setback.
Chen Xun wasn't that bad. If he had broken through four meridians by himself and advanced to the peak of four meridians, he wouldn't have been defeated so easily by Zhang Hongyi.
However, Chen Xun did not rely on himself to break through. He was only at the fourth meridian. This made the gap between him and Zhang Hongyi, who had broken through to the fifth meridian, even larger.
Chen Chihee jumped down and helped Chen Xun up. He glanced at Zhang Hongyi with a cold expression. Zhang Hongyi's face darkened, but he was not afraid.
If they were at the same age, Zhang Hongyi would be no worse than Chen Chihee.
Chen Chihee only let out a cold snort in the end and brought the angry Chen Xun back to the East Thunder Room.
"Does anyone want to spar with me?" Zhang Hongyi said loudly.
No one on the second floor responded. They were about the same age as Zhang Hongyi and were not as strong as him.
Furthermore, he was much older than Zhang Hongyi, so it wouldn't be an honor for him to win.
This tea party was mainly about displaying one's strength. Whether one won or lost, it was not a big deal for the outcome.
No one answered. Zhang Hongyi's gaze swept across the South Water Room. Du Rui was about the same age as Zhang Hongyi, and also had just entered the fifth meridian. He was about to get up and reply, but Zhang Hongyi's gaze once again fell on the East Thunder Room.
"Chen Lee, do you dare to accept the challenge!" Zhang Hongyi actually targeted Chen Lee who was at six meridians!
"Chen Lee?"
"Isn't that the cultivation of six meridians?"
"Did Zhang Hongyi go crazy?"
Many of the young elites burst into an uproar.
Even Du Rui, who was about to leave, looked surprised.
No one thought that Zhang Hongyi would choose not Du Rui, who was a genius at the same age and cultivation level as him, but Chen Lee, who was older and had a higher cultivation level than him!
After Chen Lee was stunned, he became angry.
Could it be that in Zhang Hongyi's eyes, he was not even as much of a threat as that brat Du Rui?
"Arrogant!" The two Circulation Stage Elders slammed the table in anger. They were simply looking down on their Chen Family.
"Chen Lee, teach him a good lesson!" Second Uncle Chen said angrily.
Chen Lee leaped forward and landed in front of Zhang Hongyi. Without giving Zhang Hongyi a chance to speak, he immediately kicked out with both of his legs, creating countless shadows of his legs.
The martial art that Chen Lee focused on was [Wu Shuang], a top martial art with Human Level Middle Grade.
As Chen Lee did not focus on many martial arts and did not practice Human Level Superior Grade martial arts, his leg technique had already been practiced to an infinitely close to perfection.
This attack caused many people of the same age to be extremely shocked, because among them, there were very few who could master a top Human Level Middle Grade martial art to such an extent.
However, what made everyone even more surprised was that Zhang Hongyi actually easily withstood Chen Lee's fierce attack.
Zhang Hongyi even grabbed Chen Lee's right leg and threw him out.
"Wow, how did Zhang Hongyi do it?"
"This is still a level lower."
In that instant, many people from the Chen Family who saw this did not look too good. Chen Yi, on the other hand, was able to see that Zhang Hongyi's talent in martial arts was not simple at all. That pair of palms were also a top grade Human Level Middle Grade martial art, and similarly, he had cultivated them to an extremely close to perfection.
As a result, the only difference between the two was the battle experience and the quality of the Genuine Qi.
Zhang Hongyi's battle experience was clearly better than Chen Lee's, and the Genuine Qi's quality seemed to be above Chen Lee's, directly shortening the gap between the two of them.
What happened after that was even more unexpected.
If Zhang Hongyi was only on par with Chen Lee in palm techniques, he was far superior to Chen Lee in other aspects.2
Chen Lee had to focus on the [Wu Shuang] martial art to reach the level of perfection. The other few martial arts could only be described with the word "unspeakable." The one with the highest mastery was only the advanced stage. The rest were only the initial stage.
As for Zhang Hongyi, he was even more terrifying. Up till now, Zhang Hongyi had displayed quite a few martial arts, all of them with top Human Level Middle Grade, at least at the pinnacle level.
This young man's talent in martial arts was simply too terrifying, causing many of the young elites to be incomparably shocked.
Obviously, the strength Zhang Hongyi displayed before was not his full strength at all, but was only a portion of his full strength.
Until today, in order to leave a fairly deep impression in the two Profound Imagery Sect direct disciples' hearts, they exploded at once.
Du Rui, who was prepared to take action, was a little worried. Even though he was in the position of Chen Lee, he could not find a chance to retaliate.
"This kid, when he sparred with me in the past, he wasn't serious at all!" Du Rui cursed in his heart.
