Chapter 2261: The Radiant Palm
Wen Cheng smiled coldly as he scoffed at Jian Chen, And I had felt very confused back in the ring that day. I didnt understand why young master Gongzheng Xin wanted me to lose to a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore. But now, I finally understand. As it turned out, you secretly pleaded for the young master to help you so that your name would become widespread in the Radiant Saint Hall, which would fulfil your vanity. And in return, you would offer the Thousand Leaf Lotus you won from the fight to the young master.
However, I never thought you were like this, Chang Yang. Because of young master Gongzheng Xin, I purposefully lost to you in the ring, allowing you to have the final victory. However, you decided to keep the Thousand Leaf Lotus to yourself in the end, unwilling to complete your end of the deal.
Chang Yang, does someone as depraved as you still have the dignity to remain in the Radiant Saint Hall?
Wen Chengs tone became vicious towards the end. He felt the sweet joy of revenge.
He had agreed to all of this with Gongzheng Xin beforehand. Gongzheng Xin was willing to go as far as he needed to get the Thousand Leaf Lotus and breakthrough successfully in the remaining two years.
However, Wen Cheng had always believed that his defeat to Jian Chen in the ring the other day was a permanent stain to his name. He had almost gone insane during the past few days, unwilling to see anyone at all. As a result, Wen Cheng agreed without any hesitation at all when Gongzheng Xin sent people to find him and told him his plans.
According to what he believed, not only were there no downsides to assisting Gongzheng Xin in flipping the situation against Jian Chen and framing him, but he would even be able to redeem his shame and lost dignity through a valid excuse.
The Radiant Saint Masters who constantly gathered over became enlightened when they heard Wen Chengs words. As they talked among themselves, their gazes towards Jian Chen all changed.
The gazes were filled with disappointment, contempt, disdain, and even undisguised scorn.
They did indeed look down on such actions.
Wen Cheng, youre despicable. Youre purposefully making the truth the complete opposite. It was nowhere like that the other day, Bai Yu yelled at Wen Cheng angrily from beside Jian Chen.
Unfortunately, her words did not seem believable at all when the others heard them.
Hmph, I never thought my Soaring Clouds Peak would have such a shameless disciple. Youve completely embarrassed us. Junior sister, dont spend anymore time with someone like him, Zhuo Feng also stood to one side and criticised Jian Chen like he possessed seniority. He did not care about the reality of the matter. As long as there was an opportunity to humiliate Jian Chen, he would never miss it. He did not treat Jian Chen like his junior brother at all.
Jian Chens eyes turned cold from that. He knew Zhuo Feng held prejudice towards him. He did not care about it if no one was present, but now that so many disciples from other mountains were here, Zhuo Feng ignored the bigger picture and even wanted to make trouble for him, helping outsiders against him. This truly angered Jian Chen.
Zhuo Feng, the one who has embarrassed the Soaring Clouds Peak is you, no me. It looks like its time for you to understand something, Jian Chen said to Zhuo Feng coldly. He formed a seal with his hand and directly pressed it towards Zhuo Feng.
Immediately, powerful Radiant Saint Force surged over and condensed into a meter-wide hand. It shone with dazzling light as it pressed towards Zhuo Feng.
This is... the Radiant Palm... I- impossible... Zhuo Fengs eyes narrowed drastically as disbelief filled his face. He promptly tried to counterattack, condensing a Radiant Sword and swinging out with it.
However, when his Radiant Sword landed on the Radiant Palm, it shattered to pieces, while the Radiant Palm continued without slowing, slamming into Zhuo Feng heavily.
Zhuo Feng immediately grunted and staggered a few steps back. He would leave behind a deep footprint in the ground with each step.
When he finally stabilised himself, his face darkened paled. He was both shocked and furious.
Thats the Radiant Palm. Heavens, he has actually grasped the Radiant Palm...
The Radiant Palm is a Radiant Arte of an impressive grade. Its said you need a three-colored soulcore at the very least to grasp it...
What do you know? The Radiant Palm is far more profound than youve imagined it to be. Only a handful of people have managed to grasp the Radiant Palm with a three-colored soulcore. Most people truly gain a basic grasp with a four-colored soulcore...
What! The Radiant Palm can only be grasped by people with four-colored soulcores, yet Chang Yang has managed to cast it with just a one-colored soulcore. Heavens, this is astonishing...
This is completely inconceivable...
Not only did Jian Chen stun Bai Yu when he used the Radiant Palm, but even the Radiant Saint Masters who had gathered over struggled to remain calm. They all cried out as they looked at Jian Chen like they were looking at a monster.
As for Wen Cheng, his face had become terrifyingly sunken as resentment and envy filled his eyes.
At this moment, he was forced to accept a brutal reality. In just a dozen or so days, Jian Chens strength had increased drastically.
At the very least, even Wen Cheng himself still had not truly grasped the Radiant Palm.
Chang Yang really has not disappointed me. His talent truly is monstrous, having comprehended the Radiant Palm in such a short amount of time. I just wonder whether he has achieved a basic grasp over the other Radiant Artes I showed him, Han Xin smiled glady on the top of the Soaring Clouds Peak. He was satisfied with his disciple.
Jian Chen ignored the cries in the surroundings. He looked at Zhuo Feng coldly and said, Zhuo Feng, do you understand now? You may be the first senior brother of the Soaring Clouds Peak, but you dont have the capability to tell me what to do. You might not be able to defeat Wen Cheng, but that doesnt mean I cant.
Afterwards, he no longer paid any more attention to Zhuo Fengs ugly expression. Instead, he looked towards Wen Cheng and sneered, Wen Cheng, it looks like the slap I gave you that day wasnt enough. Why dont we fight again in the ring so that everyone can see whether you actually forfeited purposefully last time or your strength was just lacklustre.
Though, you got slapped because of your forfeit. Thats quite the price to pay, Jian Chen sniggered.
Yeah, Wen Cheng. I still remember when your entire face was reduced to a mess by senior brother. You even fainted. Was that fake as well? Bai Yu followed up and said seriously.
Wen Chengs face paled in anger from that. Immediately, his anger turned against him and disturbed his inner flow of energy, causing blood to spray from his mouth.
This matter had already left a permanent shadow in his heart. It was a vicious wound and the greatest humiliation in his life. He would not have the face to see anyone again. Now that it was mentioned again before everyone, he became extremely furious.
Chang Yang, stop lying! Wen Cheng immediately lost his cool; his face warped as he bellowed at Jian Chen.
Well know whether its a lie or not when we fight again. Wen Cheng, are you willing to take me on in the ring again to prove your claims? Jian Chen said leisurely.
