832: Chapter 832 Dissatisfaction, Fear, and Awe

"Brother Wenqing, the Holy Land is being far too hasty. There's no precedent for someone entering the Inner Hall without their Realm reaching the Immortal Realm Initial Stage."

Zheng Hongzhi sat beside Chen Wenqing, his arms crossed over his chest with a look of displeasure on his face.

Ding Shanqing didn't say anything, but her slightly furrowed brows indicated that her opinion was the same as Zheng Hongzhi's.

She was already at the Peak Tongshen Realm, and her strength was close to the World Realm; she could even fight against some Initial World Realm powerhouses.

However, whether she could win was still unknown.

Even so, she didn't have the qualification to enter the Inner Hall as an exception.

Yesterday, Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao were only at the Transcendence Realm Late Stage. The Shen Tianluo Grand Assembly had ended less than half a day ago, and at 11:00 PM, the Holy Land announced that the two of them would enter the Inner Hall as exceptions.

The two of them, Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao, were very strong—strong enough that most in the Immortal Realm were not their match—but this preferential treatment was far too obvious.

So what if they were young Saints? A young Saint who hasn't fully grown is still a weakling.

Therefore, Zheng Hongzhi and Ding Shanqing were very indignant.

Zheng Hongzhi spoke his mind directly to Chen Wenqing, while Ding Shanqing felt her displeasure internally.

It wasn't just those two; many high-stage tongshen realm and Peak Tongshen Realm experts present were very unhappy about Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao being granted exceptional entry into the Inner Hall.

Why should the two of them be allowed to enter early and even receive holy land contribution points as compensation from the Holy Land?

They received a large sum of holy land contribution points without doing anything, so what did that make the holy land contribution points they had painstakingly earned through so many missions?

Among the Tongshen Realm members, dissatisfaction and defiance were written on almost everyone's face.

The Transcendence Realm members looked toward them, but after a single glance, they withdrew their gazes, not daring to continue watching.

Anyone could see their defiance; they were just waiting for Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao to arrive at Xuantian Square, hoping Zheng Hongzhi's trio would give them a good beating to let them know they weren't yet qualified to enter the Inner Hall.

"There are also no examples of anyone becoming a Saint in their teens."

Hearing Zheng Hongzhi's complaints, Chen Wenqing said indifferently.

Zheng Hongzhi was instantly speechless, unable to find the words to retort to Chen Wenqing for a moment.

What Brother Wenqing said was the truth; there really was no way to refute him.

They had all been present at the Shen Tianluo Grand Assembly yesterday and had clearly witnessed the entire performance of Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao.

Regarding their performance, Zheng Hongzhi could only describe it in his heart with one idiom: earth-shattering.

However, entering the Inner Hall at only the Transcendence Realm Late Stage was far too hasty.

Even if they refined all the rewards from the Shen Tianluo Grand Assembly and advanced to the Peak Transcendence Realm, it still wouldn't be right.

Their Realm was too low, far below the threshold for entering the Inner Hall.

Ding Shanqing's brows slowly relaxed, and after adjusting her mood, she spoke softly.

"Brother Wenqing does have a point, but since the three of us are acting as the representatives for all Tongshen Realm members, we cannot let Saint Yuan and Saint Xiao pass easily."

A terrifying green light swirled in Ding Shanqing's eyes: "We might even block them outside the gates of the Inner Hall."

"In this battle, we must give it our all to fight against the two young Saints!"

Immediately, a heaven-shaking Battle Intent surged in Zheng Hongzhi's eyes.

Although his Realm was only at the Mid-stage God-Communication Realm and he didn't have any Star Consciousness-type Martial Skill to boost his Realm.

Yesterday, Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao had used Star Consciousness-type Martial Skills to boost themselves to the high-stage tongshen realm and Peak Tongshen Realm, respectively.

Their Realms were higher than Zheng Hongzhi's current one, but he didn't show the slightest hint of fear.

Regardless of whether you know a Star Consciousness-type Martial Skill or not, I'm going to fight you first.

I don't care if I can win or not; in short, you have to beat me until I'm completely convinced.

Chen Wenqing's face remained indifferent as he listened to Ding Shanqing, but he was actually somewhat nervous inside.

He was also a descendant of the Immortal Saint and was Chen Shenxiao's cousin.

He hadn't met Chen Shenxiao many times since childhood, but every time they met, he was terrified by Chen Shenxiao's growth speed.

Their most recent meeting was when Chen Shenxiao was at the Transcendence Realm Initial Stage.

He thought their next meeting would be in the Tongshen Realm area on the other side of Xuantian Square, once Chen Shenxiao reached the Tongshen Realm and entered it.

He hadn't expected their next meeting to be on the battlefield.

Chen Wenqing had never fought Chen Shenxiao; this would be his first time doing so.

Although he hadn't fought him, Chen Wenqing knew exactly how powerful Chen Shenxiao was and how high his status was within the Immortal Saint Family.

The Immortal Saint had once said a sentence in front of many clansmen.

"Shenxiao's talent is even higher than mine."

This sentence completely shocked all the Immortal Saint clansmen, and it was precisely because of this that Chen Shenxiao established the title of Little Immortal Saint.

Now that he had become the world's only Saint Xiao, Chen Shenxiao had conquered everyone in the Immortal Saint Family, as well as everyone on the Huiqiong Star and in the Ninth Star Domain, through his actions.

Talent alone isn't enough; one must produce corresponding results for it to matter.

Chen Shenxiao becoming the Ninth Star Domain's former number one Genius at eighteen years old was the account he gave to the Immortal Saint Family members and the Immortal Saint.

It proved that the Immortal Saint's words hadn't been groundless.

His talent, Chen Shenxiao's talent, was indeed higher than the Immortal Saint's own.

Therefore, almost all the Immortal Saint clansmen were full of trepidation and awe toward Chen Shenxiao.

Now, as Chen Shenxiao's Realm and strength grew higher and stronger, this trepidation and awe were slowly turning into admiration and respect.

This was the reason why Chen Wenqing was incredibly nervous about fighting Chen Shenxiao.

Even if he were in the Immortal Realm or even the World Realm, he would still be nervous fighting Chen Shenxiao.

Chen Shenxiao's reputation was too influential within the Immortal Saint Family, far more so than in the Shenyuan Holy Land.

At 8:55, Chen Shenxiao arrived alone.

As soon as he arrived, everyone's gaze swept toward him.

Excitement, worship, awe, and dissatisfaction—all sorts of looks swept over him one by one.

Chen Shenxiao sat down in a random spot in the Transcendence Realm area with a smile on his face.

Scanning his surroundings, Chen Shenxiao thought to himself that Brother Yuan actually hadn't arrived yet.

He thought he had arrived late enough, but he didn't expect Brother Yuan to be even later.

Zheng Hongzhi's eyes swept toward Chen Shenxiao, and Battle Intent unconsciously surged around him.

Chen Shenxiao met Zheng Hongzhi's gaze.

With just one look, Zheng Hongzhi was instantly drenched in sweat, feeling as if he had looked at the most terrifying thing in the world.

What kind of gaze was that? Chen Shenxiao's eyes were calm, yet they were filled with an invincible will that could not be rivaled.

With just one look, Zheng Hongzhi's heart trembled wildly, and he cried out in his mind that he was no match.

Ding Shanqing also looked toward Chen Shenxiao, and her reaction was no better than Zheng Hongzhi's. Large beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead, and despite the distance, an invisible pressure swirled around her.

This pressure was many times stronger than yesterday's, far exceeding the Transcendence Realm Late Stage.

Chen Wenqing didn't dare to look at Chen Shenxiao, only stealing a glance out of the corner of his eye.

He didn't have as much courage as Zheng Hongzhi and Ding Shanqing to release Battle Intent and look Chen Shenxiao directly in the eye.

Chen Wenqing also felt helpless; as a member of the Immortal Saint Family, he seemed naturally suppressed when facing Chen Shenxiao. This suppression weighed down his emotions, making it impossible for his heart to give rise to any intention of resisting Chen Shenxiao.

However, suppression was one thing, but he wouldn't be cowardly in a formal battle.

At that time, he would certainly use all his strength to fight Chen Shenxiao and block him from the Inner Hall.

Zheng Hongzhi and Ding Shanqing were not the only ones; everyone who had released their Battle Intent toward Chen Shenxiao out of dissatisfaction sheepishly withdrew their gazes, not daring to look again.

Two minutes later, Su Yuan's figure suddenly appeared.
