Chapter 125 Xiao Yichen Appears
Around nine o'clock in the morning.
All the Xiao family's trial disciples gathered at the training ground, and all the core members of the Xiao family were also present.
Today is the day the trainees will face the challenges.
"Let's see what they're made of! Today is the day to truly test their mettle!" the instructor shouted from the front of the group.
"Based on your performance in the trials, there will be corresponding classifications. Ordinary disciples can become seeds, and seeds can be demoted. If you perform well, you will be given special training by the main family and will even have the opportunity to compete for the position of the Xiao Clan's leader!"
"A meteoric rise to power, a meteoric increase in fortune—anything is possible! Because this trial relies on strength, but also on luck!"
The instructor's words of encouragement ignited the passion of the trainees.
Seeded players Xiao Feifei and Xiao Lin secretly harbored a strong desire to succeed.
Just two days ago, the First Branch suddenly announced that the Second Young Master Xiao's seed qualification was cancelled and Xiao Chen would take his place.
The expressions on everyone's faces at that moment were quite remarkable.
No one expected that Xiao Chen, who had performed mediocrely, would suddenly make a comeback and become a seed.
Especially Xiao Feifei and Xiao Lin.
They were actually the lowest-ranked seed of all...
They are the easiest to lose their seed status.
Xiao Yichen is no match for him, and even the original Xiao Yaheng is above him, let alone the seed from the main family.
They didn't know Xiao Chen's true strength, but none of them wanted to lose, so they had to compete against each other in today's trial.
With the Xiao family's legacy lost in Nancheng, they all felt they had a great chance.
Suddenly, the scene fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were looking in the same direction.
Because the seed of the third branch family... has arrived...
Xiao Chen was also staring in that direction.
Xiao Hongyuan and Xiao Yiyi walked in front, followed by a young man with an indifferent expression, and behind the young man was a man in his fifties with a long braid.
Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the young man.
His appearance was exactly the same as the person he had killed, but his temperament was completely different, like heaven and earth.
His aura was deep, yet within that depth lay an air of arrogant dominance and arrogance.
His aura was very calm, as if he was intentionally concealing his strength.
A glint flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes as his senses were heightened.
After a moment, his expression hardened slightly.
"King-level..."
That's right, Xiao Yichen's strength has reached the King level.
Just as Xiao Chen shocked the Xiao family, a king-level expert in his twenties is extremely rare in the Xia Kingdom. Without exception, they are all top geniuses, and if they do not die young, their subsequent achievements will surely be amazing.
As Xiao Chen sized up Xiao Yichen, Xiao Yichen also looked over, and their gazes clashed in mid-air.
He could sense the provocation and aggression in the other person's calm gaze.
Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
The stunning Xiao Yichen... very good...
The more stunning it is, the more it proves that it's genuine.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt an unfriendly gaze coming from the man behind Xiao Yichen.
"Oh? A skilled expert..." Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.
The man made no attempt to conceal the murderous intent in his eyes, which were filled with threat and warning.
"Are they the Ten Heavenly Kings again?" Xiao Chen wondered.
This person is stronger than Yaksha, more composed, and more threatening.
"Xiao Yichen, the third seed from the branch family, is here to report for duty," Xiao Yiyi announced loudly to the instructor.
"Doesn't he have a mouth of his own? Why do you have to report for him?" the instructor retorted, making Xiao Yiyi's pretty face stiffen.
"Hmph, what's so smug about that? Today, our third branch will surpass all of you. What second and first branches? You'll all be left eating dust in Yi Chen's footsteps!" she said contemptuously.
Everyone's faces darkened upon hearing this.
Xiao Yiyi has really stirred up a lot of hatred for Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen didn't react much, or rather, he was very confident, as if he didn't take the people here seriously at all.
"You have half an hour to adjust your state. The trial will begin in half an hour!" the instructor announced.
The group dispersed and went to make their own adjustments.
Xiao Chen walked straight towards Xiao Yichen.
Everyone immediately focused their attention.
Everyone knows about the bloodline dispute in the Nancheng family division.
Adopted sons are treated like priceless treasures, while biological sons are discarded like worn-out shoes.
The two of them standing together exude a tense atmosphere; are they going to start fighting right there?
The man beside Xiao Yichen had a cold look in his eyes and wanted to make a move, but Xiao Yichen stopped him.
The two were face to face.
Xiao Chen frowned and stared at Xiao Yichen.
In his past life, he was tragically harmed by his substitute, Xiao Yichen.
He killed that man, and that was how he got his revenge.
But that was just a stand-in.
"Tell me, what the substitute of the Xiao family in Nancheng did has nothing to do with you?" Xiao Chen asked directly.
Xiao Yichen smiled noncommittally.
What if I say yes?
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Then you'll die just like him," Xiao Chen said calmly.
Xiao Yichen disagreed.
"If you really have that ability, go ahead and try, but... you'll be the one who dies." He said it just as calmly.
Xiao Chen didn't argue with him and turned to leave.
He was just asking casually.
Regardless of whether Xiao Yichen instructed the substitute to do anything, as long as he is a member of the Heavenly King Palace, he deserves to die.
Everyone in the Heavenly King Palace was someone Xiao Chen wanted to kill.
"If something happens to the young master of the Heavenly King Palace, their Heavenly King should show up by now..." Xiao Chen thought to himself.
Perhaps, the war between the Underworld Palace and the Heavenly King Palace will officially begin here.
"The Heavenly King Palace is, after all, a formidable force. If war breaks out, the impact will be enormous. I need to quell the rebellion in Jiang City as soon as possible and make some preparations." He was already thinking about preparations for war.
"Stop!" Suddenly, a cold shout came from behind Xiao Chen.
The one who spoke was the man next to Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen had already left by then.
"Xiao Chen, was Yaksha's death your doing, or was it someone else?" The man's voice was icy cold.
Xiao Chen turned around and glanced at him.
The other party was extremely hostile; their murderous intent was almost palpable.
"I am the Judge, ranked seventh among the Ten Great Generals of the Heavenly King's Palace! Yaksha is my sworn brother!" the man said.
"Oh," Xiao Chen replied perfunctorily, then turned and left.
What's the point of a mere Hades king clashing with a mere Heavenly King? They're not on the same level.
Seeing this, the judge's expression turned cold, and his murderous aura intensified.
"I don't care if you're truly capable or just faking it. You must lose to our young master in today's trial. Otherwise, I will kill everyone around you, and then I'll kill you!" He threatened in a voice only Xiao Chen could hear.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen paused and turned to look at him again.
Every part of him seemed to embody two large characters:
court death.
