35: Chapter 35 What are you thinking? Would I, your brother, possibly harm you?

On the high platform of the square.

Many people had already begun to pay attention to Chen Yan.

When they saw the Belly Shadow Snake, they broke into a cold sweat for him.

"Although the Belly Shadow Snake is only a Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast, in this kind of dense forest, its innate talent is perfectly utilized. Even an average Golden Core Stage cultivator would be no match for it!"

"This Chen Yan actually didn't run away at the first moment; he probably didn't recognize the Belly Shadow Snake!"

"Hahaha! Although the Profound Ice Water-Parting Sword is fast, the Belly Shadow Snake's innate talent is even faster! I don't know what this Chen Yan is doing. Why does he keep using that move to plow the ground?"

"What a pity. I was quite optimistic about him, but now I fear he will stop here."

Everyone had their own opinions, but few were optimistic about Chen Yan.

Only Leng Qingshuang, Lu Lingdan, and others, who knew Chen Yan's true capabilities, watched his actions with strange expressions!

With the Rebellious Disciple's strength, even if dealing with the Belly Shadow Snake wasn't easy, there was absolutely no need to go to such trouble.

What exactly was he trying to do?

"Hiss! Hiss!"

In the Secret Realm, the Belly Shadow Snake acted like a cat playing with a mouse. Every time it dodged Chen Yan's attack, it would let out a mocking hiss.

"Hehe~ Laugh! Keep laughing! Soon I'll let you know what true cruelty is!"

Chen Yan ignored it and continued to brandish his long sword, repeatedly unleashing the "Wave-Parting Tracking" technique!

"Whoosh!"

The Belly Shadow Snake's figure flashed. Before the attack even arrived, it had already escaped to the side.

"Hiss, hiss..."

"Swish!"

But this time, just as it slipped into the tree shade and wanted to mock Chen Yan, its body suddenly slipped.

It looked up at its surroundings, only to realize that at some point, the forest where it was hiding had become a vast expanse of white!

The tree trunks, branches, and grass were all densely covered with Profound Ice Qi.

"Hiss!"

In a panic, the Belly Shadow Snake wanted to flash away and hide, but it heard Chen Yan sneer, "Only realizing it now? Too late!"

In the Mirror Flower Water Moon, everyone watched as Chen Yan suddenly took out a pure white Medicinal Pill and threw it into the sky.

Then, he swept his sword, and a Sword Qi followed closely behind!

The Medicinal Pill flew in front, and the Sword Qi chased from behind!

In an instant, the Sword Qi pierced the Medicinal Pill!

And then!

The sky lit up!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!"

The Belly Shadow Snake felt as if its eyes were about to go blind. Instinctively, it wanted to use its innate talent to hide in the tree shade and escape.

But upon sensing, it was stunned!

The dense tree shade that had been all around was now completely gone under the illumination of this strange Medicinal Pill!

No!

It wasn't gone!

On the high platform!

Countless people covered their eyes in pain, silently cursing Chen Yan for not being human!

Only those big shots at the Elder level, relying on their cultivation and experience, had realized something was wrong early on and had already cast protective barriers in front of their eyes!

"Damn! This kid, what a massive chess move he's played!"

"Using the Profound Ice Qi to refract the white light of the Medicinal Pill, illuminating all the tree shade in the forest so the Belly Shadow Snake has nowhere to hide!"

"What a brilliant mind! What a great scheme! From the moment the Belly Shadow Snake first dodged his attack, he must have already thought of this move!"

"Sword Venerable Shuanghua has truly taken in a good Disciple!"

Lu Lingdan was even happier, laughing out loud as he pointed at Chen Yan, saying, "Hahaha! He is my Disciple too! He is my Disciple too!"

Lu Lingyun was not to be outdone; she lightly waved her round fan and said with a smile, "That is my grandson! My own grandson!"

Everyone: "..."

Bah!

Shameless!

No sooner said than done!

Although the effect of the Flash Pill only lasted for three breaths!

Chen Yan had already turned into a streak of light while the Belly Shadow Snake was stunned, closing in on it and swinging his sword down!

"Snow Moon Intersecting Light!"

The Sword Qi transformed into a sky full of sword rain, like mercury pouring onto the ground, instantly washing over the Belly Shadow Snake's body!

"Hiss..."

The Belly Shadow Snake opened its blood-red mouth, poison splattering from its ferocious fangs as it tried to make a final death struggle.

But Chen Yan had already retreated after a single strike!

Watching the surrounding trees instantly turn charred black under the erosion of the poison, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear: "Luckily I'm quick-witted and ran fast!"

"If my handsome and dashing appearance were ruined, Revered Master would probably not want me anymore!"

Leng Qingshuang: "..."

Rebellious Disciple!

Am I that kind of shallow person!

"Rustle, rustle~"

Just as Chen Yan thought everything had settled and was about to heave a sigh of relief, there was another movement in the bushes not far away!

Chen Yan: "～( ´ ー ｀ ～ )"

You've got to be kidding me? Again?

Is there no rest at all in this Secret Realm?

He brandished the green steel sword, tapped his feet, and put some distance between himself and the bushes.

Then, with a flash of sword light, a streak of Sword Qi shot out!

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic sound rang out.

Then, a chubby face popped out from the bushes.

"Brother Yan! Don't attack! It's me, it's me!"

Qian Duoduo stuck his butt out and leaped up from the bushes.

On the round shield in his hand, a sword mark was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Yan looked him up and down, then cursed with disdain: "Damn it! I hate rich second-generation kids the most!"

Qian Duoduo perfectly embodied what it meant to be armed to the teeth.

He wore a helmet, armor, leg guards, and boots!

He held a Spirit Sword in his left hand and a Magic Treasure shield in his right!

Looking at the shining Spiritual Qi radiance of the Magic Treasures on him, not a single one was lower than Profound Rank!

"Hehe! Isn't safety first?"

Qian Duoduo didn't care at all and accepted Chen Yan's compliment with great composure.

"Brother Yan, as soon as I heard the commotion here, I rushed over!"

He looked at Chen Yan with amazement and exclaimed: "Not to mention those three White-Striped Chickens, you even managed to slay that Belly Shadow Snake with your sword!"

"With this kind of strength, you're definitely at the top ten level!"

Chen Yan was a bit surprised upon hearing this: "I'm only in the top ten?"

Qian Duoduo chuckled and said: "You don't really think our Sect is full of playboys like me, do you?"

"The Sect Small Competition is just to test the level of the entry-level Disciples; everyone participating is below the Golden Core Stage!"

"But even if it's just the Foundation Establishment Stage, the number of people is over three thousand!"

"Among them, I don't even know how many are at Foundation Establishment Perfection!"

"Me saying you could enter the top ten was an exaggeration!"

Chen Yan looked up into the distance.

The Ancient Desolate Secret Realm could accommodate thousands of people fighting simultaneously; the vastness of its scope was evident.

In just this short while, there were already quite a few sounds of battle coming from all around.

"You're right!"

Chen Yan suddenly chuckled: "The cultivators in the world are as numerous as carp crossing the river; how many Geniuses there are!"

"I've just had a bit of luck; how could I dare to look down on others!"

A gleam flashed in Qian Duoduo's eyes; he hadn't expected Chen Yan to have this kind of reaction.

As the grandson of the Alchemy Peak Revered Master, he had naturally seen many of those so-called Geniuses.

But among these people, who wasn't arrogant? Who wasn't unruly?

They would never admit they were worse than others!

But Chen Yan...

Qian Duoduo sighed inwardly, this kind of person, with deep thoughts, is the most terrifying!

Grandma, you really found me a good big brother!

He looked up at Chen Yan, his eyelids suddenly twitching, and he retreated a step in a panic: "Brother Yan, what do you want to do?"

Chen Yan looked at Qian Duoduo with a devious glint in his eyes!

This fatty, although his combat ability was lacking, his survival skills were top-notch!

With his full set of equipment, round face, and playboy, unruly expression!

Isn't this the perfect... aggro-magnet?

"Hehe! Duoduo, tell me, if those Genius Disciples saw someone in the wild covered in Magic Treasures but with little combat ability, what would they do?"

Chen Yan wrapped his arm around Qian Duoduo's neck and chuckled.

"Covered in Magic Treasures, but with little combat ability? Isn't that just serving yourself up on a platter?"

Qian Duoduo replied without thinking.

Then, he looked at the bright smile on Chen Yan's face and immediately realized what was happening.

"Damn! Brother Yan, you are my real brother! I can't do it!"

Chen Yan chuckled, patted his shoulder affectionately, and comforted him: "What are you thinking? Could I possibly harm you?"

"Have you forgotten our codename?"

Qian Duoduo rolled his eyes and said with a look of hopelessness: "Cackling and killing rampantly..."
