Chapter 136 Human-Rank!

Tian Wangchuan withdrew his gaze, but the others did not.

Because the battle on Fang Yue's side was truly astonishing.

As soon as Fang Yue jumped onto the stage, ice immediately began to form around it.

The frost spread, dyeing the entire stage a snowy white, like an ice sculpture in winter.

The biting cold hit the white-haired old man, causing his pupils to shrink slightly.

"Taiyang Merchant Guild's Elder Advisor, Ye Se Liming, is here to offer guidance."

As soon as the words fell, the white-haired old man felt a blur before his eyes...

*Bang!*

A burst of cold erupted in his chest, and he flew backward, his whole body stiff and cold. He crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Before he could even assess the severity of his injuries, his eyes widened, and he stared in astonishment and shock at Fang Yue on the stage.

"Human...Rank!"

Only a Human-rank expert possessed such strength!

That surging internal force, and that terrifying power that he couldn't even react to—there was no doubt! This person was definitely a Human-rank expert!

Who would have thought that the Taiyang Merchant Guild's advisor would actually be a Human-rank expert!

Fortunately, he had held back earlier and hadn't killed anyone, or else it wouldn't just be a matter of serious injuries now!

He cast a venomous glance at the stunned and dazed head of the Tianluo Merchant Guild beside him. The white-haired old man gritted his teeth, stood up, bowed his farewell, and went back to heal his injuries.

As for the Tianluo Merchant Guild, if a Human-rank expert was dissatisfied and came knocking, he definitely wouldn't protect them.

In Chu Nuan City, the Human-rank was already at the pinnacle, a terrifying expert that ordinary people couldn't even come into contact with!

Mysterious and powerful Human-rank experts were rarely seen, perhaps only during the [Martial Arts Tournament]. It was rare to see even one in several years.

"Human-rank?!"

Pupils constricted, a moment of pause, and the scene exploded.

"It's actually a Human-rank expert?!"

"Defeating the enemy in one move! Is a Xiantian realm martial artist so powerless before a Human-rank expert?!"

The crowd exclaimed, various gazes landing on Fang Yue, filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Let me test his skills!"

Suddenly, someone roared and landed on the stage. Just as his feet touched the ground, a clever force pushed him in the chest, and he flew backward, landing directly on the ground.

He fell to the ground, still dazed, as if he hadn't reacted.

I...lost?

It was over before it even began?

Feeling the coldness in his chest, and looking at the calm Human-rank expert on the stage, this person finally realized that he had been defeated.

"The gap...is so huge!"

A deep sense of frustration wrapped around his heart, making him very unwilling.

However, soon, more people challenged the Human-rank expert, meeting the same fate as him, pushed off the stage one by one with clever force.

In just a few minutes, more than a dozen people were defeated in succession, the efficiency of which was astonishing.

Now, no one dared to challenge the stage that Fang Yue occupied.

Those who knew what was good for them went to other stages to try their luck, rather than courting hardship here.

And those who had already been defeated lost their qualification to challenge, feeling depressed and...

In reality, the appearance of a Human-rank expert basically secured a spot in the tournament.

It was just that some people didn't believe that Fang Yue, this suddenly emerging young man, had the strength.

And some people, like the one on the ground, wanted to confirm just how huge the difference in strength between themselves and a Human-rank expert was.

However, they really chose the wrong person. In a sense, Fang Yue's strength could be defined as a high-level Human-rank martial artist!

Before entering the Human-rank realm, Fang Yue already had mid-level Human-rank strength. Now that he had entered the Human-rank realm, he had naturally improved even further!

After taking over the stage, Fang Yue actually became quiet.

He glanced at the excited and thrilled Yang Hongxia and closed his eyes to rest.

The vagrant beside him had a complex expression, both envious and lonely.

He also had a little strength, but compared to Fang Yue's exaggerated combat power, it was really just a little strength.

He could flaunt it among ordinary martial artists, and even rank among the top in strength.

But against high-end combat power, he was really powerless.

If he hadn't met Fang Yue, he would have been sought after in a small merchant guild, getting whatever he wanted. Now...he was only fit to be a background character.

"If I could learn master's sword..."

The vagrant was unwilling and clenched his fists, but quickly let them go.

Now was not the time to think about these things.

He took medicine to heal his injuries and sat down to rest.

After being excited, Yang Hongxia was about to ask someone to send some pills to the previous white-haired old man, as a thank you for showing mercy to the vagrant earlier and saving face for the Taiyang Merchant Guild.

As a result, she saw the head of the Tianluo Merchant Guild walking over with a smiling face, bowing and scraping.

"Guild Leader Yang..."

Without the head of the Tianluo Merchant Guild saying anything more, Yang Hongxia knew what the other party was thinking.

If it were the old her, she would have cursed them out and wouldn't have listened to half a word they said.

But the current her wouldn't do that. Instead, she patiently engaged in polite talk, asking for benefits.

Without making a sound, she made the other party 'voluntarily' give a large amount of compensation.

Without Sea Butler, Yang Hongxia, who was supporting the entire merchant guild alone, had really grown a lot.

Looking at the lively situation on Fang Yue's side, Dou Hongyi, who was responsible for guarding, snorted secretly, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

Human-rank?

Hmph!

Who do you think you're looking down on!

That lord is a Yu-rank expert!

Although his strength may have declined, he is already recovering quickly, and his strength can be said to be unfathomable, and he may recover to the Yu-rank position at any time!

Dou Hongyi felt a little proud in his heart, couldn't help humming a few times, and felt extremely secretly happy.

It was as if Fang Yue being so powerful had something to do with him.

Completely opposite to this mood was Tai Yuema, the guest official of the Old Eagle Merchant Guild, who was sitting on the stage, not participating in the preliminary round, and could be said to be a gatekeeper.

Or rather...Lord Rabbit!

The stronger Fang Yue was, the worse Tai Yuema's mood became.

"What exactly is Lord Niu hiding from me? Why is he allowing such a dangerous person to run wild in [Chu Nuan City]?"

Speculating about Lord Niu's thoughts, Tai Yuema felt more and more irritable, wishing he could jump down now and slap Fang Yue to death.

Unfortunately, on the surface, he had no reason to do so at all.

Moreover...just wait patiently. With the other party's strength, he would face himself sooner or later!

At that time, killing this person would be as easy as flipping his hand!

Tai Yuema was very confident. With his mid-level Human-rank strength, he had few opponents in the same realm, let alone those little guys who had just entered the early stage of the Human-rank realm!

The arena competition was in full swing, and the people who arrived early were cheering for their favorite merchant guilds. Almost all the traffic in Chu Nuan City was gathered here.

The huge popularity was like a deadly poison, attracting the lurking aberrations.

And the aberrations that had fallen into slumber after being possessed were also unknowingly showing signs of waking up.

The entire Chu Nuan City was surging with undercurrents!
