Chapter 436: Are You Really Here for Clues?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon seeing the feedback, Jiang Hao was quite surprised.
It turned out that he was indeed a member of The End of All Things, and he even knew about another thing, the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl.
‘A Golden Core Realm cultivator carrying the Earth Extreme Hart devouring Pearl?’
Jiang Hao found it highly unlikely.
In a place like this, a Golden Core Realm cultivator was too common, and they might be easily defeated and restrained when necessary.
It would be a waste to carry the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl for nothing.
However, he guessed that The End of All Things member likely intended to use the pearl to disrupt the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
Given the goal of The End of All Things, they would indeed do such a thing.
After thinking it through, Jiang Hao didn’t take any further action and instead followed the woman in front.
A short while later, he sensed Chi Tian’s gaze, which was filled with anger and resentment.
Ignoring this gaze, he took a step forward and surpassed the woman.
However, he only surpassed her by a small margin.
The one who had already left everyone behind was still ahead.
The speed of that person shocked Jiang Hao.
It seemed that the people here were indeed quite extraordinary.
However, Jiang Hao didn’t want to attract too much attention. He simply stayed ahead of the Golden Core Realm cultivator.
At this moment, the Golden Core Realm woman felt the pressure. She couldn’t believe that she had been overtaken by two people.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t surpass the person next to her.
It was an insurmountable gap.
She couldn’t catch up no matter what she did.
Jiang Hao let out a sigh of relief. His victory wasn’t just due to his mastery of the technique but also because of the influence of his mental state on his agility.
Otherwise, winning would have been extremely difficult.
But…
“What about the one who won first place?” the Golden Core Realm woman asked in confusion.
“It seems like he flew away and disappeared. There were too many of us,” someone said.
The Golden Core Realm woman was speechless.
Jiang Hao was also surprised. It seemed that this person had participated in the competition just for the sake of it and not for rewards.
Jiang Hao obtained the seed.
He didn’t know exactly what it was, but he would find out tomorrow. When he went back to Hong Yuye, she teased him. “Is that the clue you mentioned?”
Putting away the seed, Jiang Hao shook his head. “Senior must be joking. The clue is that person.”
Jiang Hao pointed at the furious Chi Tian.
“What’s wrong with him?” Hong Yuye asked.
“I think he might be a member of The End of All Things. We just need to keep an eye on him,” Jiang Hao said solemnly.
Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao in surprise.
He hadn’t lied this time.
‘Is he really here to find clues?’ Hong Yuye wondered.
“What’s wrong, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.
“You are really doing your best to complete the task I gave you,” Hong Yuye said.
“I dare not slack off when doing tasks for you, Senior,” Jiang Hao said respectfully.
Hong Yuye chuckled.
That’s how it should be.
After that, Jiang Hao didn’t participate in any more competitions and simply observed Chi Tian from a distance.
Chi Tian seemed to want to find a major competition that he could win, but he lacked any particularly outstanding qualities, so it was unlikely that he would attract any attention.
While observing Chi Tian, Jiang Hao also paid attention to Xiao Li and the others.
At this moment, Xiao Li was sitting on the side and talking with the spirit beast.
Chu Chuan was facing the people from before.
Jiang Hao was quite interested to see what he would do.
As he watched Chu Chuan, he suddenly felt that many people around him were also paying close attention, even Chi Tian.
It seemed that it was because of Chu Jie.
“I didn’t look for you on the first day because I didn’t want to add pressure to Junior Sister Chu Jie. Now that Junior Sister is preparing for advancement, it won’t be affected by you. The arena is right there. Dare you go up?” Yu Sha looked down at Chu Chuan.
“What’s there to fear?” Chu Chuan glared at him.
“Wait a moment!” Tao Yun suddenly said. “According to the rules, we need three disciples from the same sect to participate together and take turns fighting.”
“You can choose someone. After all, everyone’s cultivation is suppressed to the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm,” Yu Sha said.
Chu Chuan looked at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li was called over.
Soon, they had all three participants.
From Heavenly Note Sect, Chu Chuan, Xiao Li, and the spirit beast participated.
From the Bright Moon Sect, Yu Sha, Tao Yun, and Hui Jian participated.
At the arena, Chu Chuan was the first to jump onto the platform. He stared at Yu Sha and said, “Come on.”
Yu Sha sneered, but just as he was about to step up, Tao Yun jumped onto the platform.
The formation activated, and the competition began.
Yu Sha was speechless.
He frowned but didn’t say anything.
In any case, he wanted to make it clear to the other person how insignificant an early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm was. It was nothing at all.
“I’ll fight you,” Tao Yun said to Chu Chuan.
Chu Chuan knew that Tao Yun had rushed ahead of Yu Sha intentionally. Even if he wasn’t a match for her, he still had to try.
“You may not be aware of the difference between us, but the speed of your progress has made you a bit overconfident,” Tao Yun said softly. “Fighting me is better than fighting Yu Sha.”
‘At least I don’t have to endure too much humiliation.’ He didn’t say that out loud, thought.
In Tao Yun’s view, Chu Chuan was already quite formidable, especially considering that he had accumulated six hundred spirit stones before reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, compared to Chu Jie, the gap was still too vast.
Even if there was nothing between them, people would judge him harshly.
He would definitely have a hard time at the Bright Moon Sect.
As for what Tao Yun just said, Chu Chuan didn’t believe it.
Both were in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and no matter how talented the other person was, they couldn’t be that powerful.
“Sorry for this. ”
Chu Chuan dashed out with a whoosh.
Tao Yun shifted slightly to avoid his attack. In that small fraction of time, she struck Chu Chuan’s arm with her palm.
With a thunderous sound, Chu Chuan was pushed back.
Jiang Hao watched and knew that Chu Chuan had already lost.
The gap in strength was just too wide.
Even if Chu Chuan used all his strength, he couldn’t win against this young woman.
Their gap wasn’t in experience but in control of power. That was a gap that was difficult to bridge.
At that moment, Jiang Hao saw Fang Jin walking over with a middle-aged man.
It was the senior, Han Xiao, who had made a deal with him before. He looked up at Chu Chuan on the platform and was surprised.
“Did I make a mistake back then?”
“I think so.” Fang Jin nodded. “I heard that he didn’t have any special encounters. He just cultivated daily. At most, he had the resources given to him by you. He didn’t have any famous teachers guiding him either.” Han Xiao looked at Chu Chuan. “Did you invite him to join the sect?”
“I did, but he refused,” Fang Jin said.
“He’s got some backbone, but he’s going to take quite a blow this time,” Han Xiao said.
Fang Jin looked at Chu Chuan without saying anything.
At this moment, Chu Chuan attacked again. He was extremely fast. His techniques were seamlessly integrated with his fists and feet as if he wanted to break through his opponent’s defenses in one go.
However, no matter how he attacked, he couldn’t hit his opponent. Sometimes, he was repelled by a single strike from his opponent.
Boom!
After exhausting all his attacks, Chu Chuan was pushed back by Tao Yun.
“Surrender. You’re not my match,” Tao Yun said.
Chu Chuan gritted his teeth and attacked again. This time, his blood burned, and his aura surged.
He still couldn’t keep up with Tao Yun’s speed. However, as the flames burned in his body, his speed increased.
Tao Yun was just dodging his attacks before, but now, she was actively defending herself.
Jiang Hao watched and sighed inwardly.
His unyielding personality would make him suffer.
But this was his path, and stopping here would mean weakness..
