91: Chapter 91 This time, Yan Chenzhou must go and test the medicine!

In front of everyone, Li Yuan questioned Yan Chenzhou once again.

But this time, the questioning was completely different from before.

Previously, when Li Yuan questioned him, everyone assumed Li Yuan was just afraid to fight and could only use words to claim the high ground.

But at this very moment, Li Yuan had already displayed his martial prowess.

Yan Chenzhou couldn't even beat Bai Zhaowei; how could he possibly beat Li Yuan?

Questioning him like this now meant Yan Chenzhou was no longer just in the wrong.

"Answer me! Do you or do you not accept the result of this competition?

If you don't, and you still feel I am inferior to you, you can step into the center right now.

I just had a match with the Young Miss of the Bai Family. All things considered, you've had much more rest than I have; you have the advantage.

If I lose to you and am forced by your Yan Family to undergo the Drug Trial, I will accept it."

Standing in the center of the garden, Li Yuan repeatedly pressed Yan Chenzhou with his words.

But unexpectedly, this Prodigy—the Reincarnation of the Willow Immortal and the successor handpicked by the Ninth-Grade Supreme—had chickened out.

Faced with Li Yuan's challenge, he actually didn't dare to stand up and respond.

"Since you're staying silent, I'll take that as your tacit agreement.

Once today's World Talents Convention ends, you shall come with me to the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

Rest well and prepare yourself for the Drug Trial.

We both have the New Wood Physique, but it seems there is a significant gap between us.

It is only right and proper for the inferior one to undergo the Drug Trial for the superior one."

After saying this, Li Yuan deliberately shot another glance at Yan Chenzhou.

Yan Chenzhou's expression was hideous, yet he remained silent.

Yan Chenzhou had seen clearly just now that Bai Zhaowei had not intentionally lost to Li Yuan.

Even if he were the one to go up, he would still lose.

Furthermore, Li Yuan might strike even harder when facing him.

Yan Chenzhou couldn't understand how a mere Disciple of a martial arts academy could possess such strength.

Even when Bai Zhaowei shamelessly utilized Seventh-Grade strength, she was still no match...

Right now, Yan Chenzhou would certainly not step up to fight Li Yuan.

He knew he would definitely lose.

But for him to undergo the Drug Trial for Li Yuan was absolutely impossible.

He knew very well how much damage a Drug Trial did to the body.

Having one's Foundation destroyed was a common occurrence during a Drug Trial.

It was even highly possible to be turned into a cripple, spending the rest of one's life bedridden.

No matter how powerful or outstanding Li Yuan was, it was impossible for Yan Chenzhou to sacrifice himself to help him.

However, given the current situation, he needed to think clearly about how to respond.

Just moments ago, Yan Chenzhou himself had emphasized multiple times that he would never go back on his word.

As long as he lost, he would definitely help Li Yuan with the Drug Trial.

With so many people listening, there were plenty who did not wish him well.

There would surely be many people now siding with Li Yuan to put pressure on him.

His mind was in a mess as he frantically calculated a counter-strategy.

From the looks of the current situation, he could only choose to keep his mouth shut.

Seeing that he wouldn't respond, Li Yuan also walked out from the center of the garden.

The Tian-grade Talent Conference continued.

But for the audience, nothing that followed would be as lively or interesting as this matter.

Li Yuan returned to his seat, but the minds of those around him were still occupied with the matter between him and Yan Chenzhou.

Everyone was wondering how this affair would conclude.

Yan Chenzhou was the Prodigy of the Yan Family and the one who would inherit the Family business in the future.

The Yan Family could not possibly be willing to let him undergo a Drug Trial for Li Yuan.

But today, things had been said to such an extent; Yan Chenzhou had boasted grandly and made a promise.

Furthermore, the Yan Family had already gone back on their word once.

When Yan Chenyao was defeated at the Zhai Tian Terrace, the Yan Family had already broken their promise once.

That time, they could still argue that it was due to some internal conflicts within the Yan Family.

What could they say today?

Yan Chenzhou had lost the match himself, and everyone had seen his inferiority.

One must remember that this Drug Trial business was also concocted by the Yan Family.

It was they who saw Li Yuan's talent and took the initiative to use force and threats.

Since they wanted to harm him, Li Yuan naturally intended to return this grudge.

Although he didn't actually need someone for a Drug Trial, he wanted to vent this grievance for himself.

Before thinking of using power and martial force to threaten others, the Yan Family should have considered that they too might Face the same coercion.

After a period of awkward silence, the Talent Conference finally moved on to the next topic.

Others began to discuss different matters.

However, the crowd's attention was no longer as focused as before.

The Talent Conference would last at least four shichen.

There were nearly three shichen left before the Tian-grade Talent Conference would conclude.

Many in the surrounding crowd wanted to leave early to spread the word about what had happened at this year's Tian-grade Talent Conference.

It was foreseeable that once these events got out, they would absolutely cause a massive stir.

The attendants of some people received instructions and quietly slipped away from their seats.

They quickly spread the news to the factions they belonged to.

The impact of this matter would likely be very significant.

Yan Chenzhou was the core of the Yan Family; the attitude of other factions toward this matter actually represented their future attitude toward the Yan Family.

Whether or not to use this incident to join forces with various factions and move against the Yan Family was something that needed to be considered.

In the garden, pride was evident on the Faces of Liang Duqiu and the other Senior Brother.

Li Yuan's strength and performance had given them so much Face.

Being able to get a Tian-grade invitation should have already been a joyous occasion for the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy and brought great honor to the academy.

Who could have imagined that Li Yuan would still perform so brilliantly in front of all these Da Shun Prodigies?

Besides Liang Duqiu and his companion, Yan Chenyao, who was sitting slightly toward the back of the garden, also wore an indescribable smile on her lips.

She was truly happy in her heart; that bit of resentment she originally held toward Li Yuan had completely vanished.

For so many years, Yan Chenzhou had hardly encountered any setbacks.

The only thing that could be considered a setback was not finding someone to undergo the Drug Trial for him.

But that wasn't really much of a setback.

Yan Chenzhou possessed the New Wood Physique, and the benefits brought by a special Physique were not inferior to those brought by ordinary Medicinal Pills.

This time was likely the greatest setback Yan Chenzhou had encountered in all these years.

Yan Chenyao even felt like cheering for Li Yuan.

But as a Yan family member, she knew she couldn't do that.

Furthermore, she knew very well that the Yan Family would not honor the debt.

Later on, they would use even more profound methods against Li Yuan.

Thinking of this, Yan Chenyao felt a hint of worry for Li Yuan.

Without any surprises, the elders of the Yan Family would intervene.

There was no way they would allow Yan Chenzhou to undergo a Drug Trial for Li Yuan.

But today had already proven that Li Yuan was even stronger than Yan Chenzhou.

The Family had scolded her before, saying she was useless for losing to Li Yuan.

When she went back this time, she was going to have a good talk with the Yan Family elders and ask if her brother, Yan Chenzhou, was useful.

He was likewise no match for Li Yuan, and he didn't even have the courage to make a move.

Outside the City Lord's Manor.

After Ruan Xingqiao was kicked out, she had not left yet.

She wanted to wait for the Talent Conference to end so she could ask for the details clearly.

She didn't understand how Li Yuan could have gotten an invitation to the Tian-grade Talent Conference.

Even if Li Yuan had luckily made it inside, he would surely make a fool of himself during the Tian-grade Talent Conference.

She was going to wait here for people to come out.

Although the Tian-grade Talent Conference was hard to enter, it was still possible to ask about the situation.
