Chapter 41 : Tell Him to Scram, No Ti!
“You want to fight the Primordial Holy Son in the sa realm?” the Sixth Elder looked deeply at Du Guyun, recognizing the young man’s clever scheming.
Without suppressing the realm, Du Guyun stood no chance. But with this, Du Guyun might have a slight chance, but the Elder believed it was still slim. Du Guyun couldn’t match the current Jiang Chen, who had slain several prodigies, including the formidable Soaring Snake God Son.
“Yes!” Du Guyun affird, “I hope the Elder can grant this. I want to know the gap between myself and the Primordial Holy Son at the sa realm.” Du Guyun tactically softened his stance to get a chance to face Jiang Chen.
He could have boastfully claid he would beat Jiang Chen at the sa realm, but that would likely irk the higher-ups and Jiang Chen might not respond. Plus, his secret technique could only be used once a day. He didn’t want to waste it on other disciples and then stand no chance against Jiang Chen.
Du Guyun was aware of his gap with Jiang Chen. Without the secret technique, he was no match, even if Jiang Chen suppressed his level.
“This isn’t sothing I can decide,” the Sixth Elder replied, “It requires the Primordial Holy Son’s consent.”
For an ordinary disciple, the Sixth Elder could directly decide. But the status of the Primordial Holy Son is special; unless the Primordial Saint intervenes, the elders’ involvent is useless. The Primordial Holy Son can completely ignore them. Moreover, the status of this title is equal to that of the elders.
“Then please, Elder, contact the Primordial Holy Son!” Du Guyun continued.
“Alright,” the Sixth Elder agreed sowhat helplessly, unable to refuse under the watchful eyes of everyone.
“No wonder Du Guyun dares to challenge the Holy Son, he’s playing this ga!”
“By suppressing the realm to the sa level, Du Guyun really has a chance!”
“This guy is quite cunning, once the realm is suppressed, he might be able to sowhat handle himself against the Primordial Holy Son.!”
“Exactly, not only dealing with the enemy but also constantly controlling one’s own realm! Du Guyun is a bit scheming, with many plots and tricks, not easy to deal with!”
“But even so, Du Guyun is surely no match for the Primordial Holy Son, even at the sa realm. He has countless techniques and cards up his sleeve, any of which Du Guyun can’t handle!”
“You think Du Guyun didn’t consider this? He’s very clever. Once the Primordial Holy Son agrees, he’ll probably make more demands!”
“Now that you ntion it, it’s quite possible. Du Guyun is too devious!”
Upon hearing that Du Guyun wants to fight Jiang Chen at the sa realm, everyone is stunned, fully realizing he’s been calculating this all along. No wonder he dares to challenge the Primordial Holy Son.
“Tell him to scram, I don’t have ti!” Jiang Chen quickly received the Sixth Elder’s transmission and imdiately refused without a second thought.
How could he not understand Du Guyun’s sche? Why should he give him the chance to show off? Of course, Jiang Chen could easily crush Du Guyun, even at the sa realm. But this scenario was a crucial plot point, with substantial rewards for slacking off, so he naturally ignored Du Guyun.
Besides, who said he had to accept a challenge just like that? If he set this precedent today, wouldn’t countless disciples co to challenge him later? Jiang Chen scoffed at the thought.
He was all too familiar with this plot. It had to be said that Du Guyun had so tricks up his sleeve, though the outco seed a bit too protagonist-like. However, in the original story, once Jiang Chen agreed, he fell into Du Guyun’s trap.
When Du Guyun had won, he achieved a complete victory, getting everything he wanted. On the other hand, Jiang Chen lost greatly, gaining nothing and instead diminishing his own prestige.
The most terrifying part was that in the original story, Jiang Chen lost, leading to the downfall of the Primordial Holy Son’s prestige and Du Guyun stepping on him to climb up the ranks in the Holy Land.
After this battle, Du Guyun’s reputation skyrocketed, leading many disciples to believe he could replace Jiang Chen. Eventually, after several maneuvers by Du Guyun, he did replace Jiang Chen. But that was just in the original story; the current Jiang Chen wouldn’t fall for this.
“Unfortunately, the Primordial Holy Son has refused!” the Sixth Elder said with an odd expression.
“Is the Primordial Holy Son afraid?” Du Guyun imdiately grew anxious, his entire effort aid at getting Jiang Chen to fight.
If Jiang Chen refused, although it achieved a certain goal, it was still a huge loss compared to what he had hoped for in his heart. Not only would he beco the laughing stock of everyone, but the higher-ups in the Holy Land might not recognize his worth.
“Shut up!” the Sixth Elder coldly reprimanded. “Do you know what you are saying? How could the Primordial Holy Son be afraid of a young disciple like you? He doesn’t fight because it’s unnecessary, and he has no obligation to fight you!”
Du Guyun’s stubbornness was not pleasing to the Sixth Elder and the other elders. What should have been a simple conclusion to the Inner Sect competition turned into an extended ordeal because of Du Guyun’s persistence, wasting their ti.
“Get down, Du Guyun!”
“How dare you, the Primordial Holy Son has no reason to fight you!”
“Arrogant fool! The Primordial Holy Son afraid of you?”
“Get down!”
“Get down!”
The other disciples were also displeased, losing any good impression of Du Guyun due to his subsequent statents. Especially since Jiang Chen had recently crushed Soaring Snake Young Masyer, the disciples were already inclined towards Jiang Chen. Du Guyun’s claim that Jiang Chen was afraid made them laugh at his foolishness.
“If the Holy Son isn’t afraid, why doesn’t he dare to fight?” Du Guyun, having nothing to lose, insisted on getting Jiang Chen to fight.
This statent caused a significant change in everyone’s expressions, showing disgust towards Du Guyun’s lack of gratitude and decorum.
At that mont, Yan Ruyu, who had been observing, said with a smile, “If the Primordial Holy Son won’t fight, I will. If you can defeat , then you’ll be qualified to challenge him.”
Yan Ruyu had been irritated by Du Guyun for a while now, with his incessant talk of replacing Jiang Chen and claiming Jiang Chen was afraid. This prompted her to finally step in.
