Chapter 2213: Chapter 2310: She Still Spoke Up (Part 1)

Shee Ju seemed to feel that he hadn’t expressed himself emotionally enough. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Forty people will enter the second tier of the Marriage Proposal Stage and draw lots, numbered 1 to 40 respectively. Number 1 will face number 40, number 2 against number 39, and so on, eliminating 20 people and leaving 20. Then these 20 people will draw lots again, numbered 1 to 20, and compete, eliminating 10, leaving 10. These 10 will ultimately engage in voluntary duels to contest for the final ranks."

"Indeed, that’s fair," Su Chen thought to himself upon hearing Shee Ju’s detailed explanation.

It happened quickly.

Forty individuals stepped onto the second tier of the Marriage Proposal Stage.

The lots were already prepared.

Forty young talents went forward to draw lots.

Su Chen drew casually.

Lot number 11.

The opponent is number 30.

As for who number 30 is, he doesn’t care at all. It makes no difference, does it?

While Su Chen wasn’t concerned, the other martial cultivators on the second tier of the Marriage Proposal Stage were very much interested.

"I’m number 4, who’s number 37?"

"I am young master number 7."

"Who’s number 28? Better take note."

......

A series of soft inquiries.

Soon.

Everyone had almost found their opponents.

"Who is number 11?" Only one man in a gray long robe asked three times ’Who is number 11’ but received no answer.

This man in gray long robe, at the early stage of the Ninth Level Realm among the 40 present, is considered mediocre, and his strength is just average. His name is Chen You, ranked thirty-eight on the Ascension List.

Chen You actually harbors no hope at all of becoming the son-in-law of the Tianheng Domain Lord. Anyone with a bit of sense would know that with Shee Jiufeng, Bi Qu, and Xue Chi present, he has not even a sliver of hope.

But, Chen You still participated in the Marriage Proposal Tournament for what purpose? Of course, it’s for the combat and to make a name.

Which one of these geniuses on the Ascension List is not a battle fanatic? If they weren’t battle fanatics, they couldn’t become monsters, geniuses, or possess terrifying strength.

As for making a name for oneself, it’s even simpler; in one’s youth, who isn’t arrogant? Naturally, one would want to constantly ascend the ranks on the Ascension List, participate in the Marriage Proposal Tournament, and eliminate others as a form of psychological satisfaction.

"It’s me," Su Chen spoke. In truth, he didn’t want to pay attention to this Chen You, but the other party had asked several times, seemingly intending to keep asking until he answered.

As soon as Su Chen spoke.

Immediately, the other 39 young talents on the second tier all had a slight change in their expressions.

Then.

"Congratulations, Chen You."

"Chen You, good luck, huh!"

"Reported advance into the top 20."

"Hahaha..."

"Chen You, so envious!"

.........

Many young talents familiar with Chen You teased him playfully.

It sounded like congratulations.

But it carried a bit of playful mockery.

Chen You’s face turned somewhat ugly.

He wanted to advance into the top 20.

But, certainly not in this way.

Based on luck?!!!

Among so many young talents, he just happened to draw an incompetent fool who isn’t even at the Divine Lord Realm.

It’s simply an insult to himself.

"Damn it." Chen You couldn’t help but curse under his breath and glared wickedly at Su Chen. He blamed Su Chen for everything; if Su Chen hadn’t been so reckless and ignorant to participate in this Marriage Proposal Tournament, he wouldn’t have run into Su Chen and become the subject of jest and ridicule.

Only Xue Chi’s expression was unpleasant.

Very unpleasant.

Originally, he thought, since Su Chen had entered the second tier and fallen into the scope of the duels, there was a chance he could face Su Chen.

But luck was not on his side; he didn’t draw Su Chen.

Of course, the odds were low to begin with, so earlier, he used sound transmission to request Shee Ju to grant him the favor of arranging Su Chen and him for a duel. After all, the lots can be manipulated, can’t they?

After all, today’s Marriage Proposal Tournament almost certainly wouldn’t have any surprises. Xue Chi was practically sure to become the Tianheng Domain Lord’s son-in-law, so he thought Shee Ju would grant him this favor.

But unexpectedly.

Shee Ju refused.

Very rigidly.

Shee Ju’s reply was: Everything according to luck and rules.

Thus, Xue Chi’s mood was certainly very bad. He wished he could replace Chen You now.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t.

"Chen You, kill him, and I want him to first experience a fate worse than death." Xue Chi raised his head and looked at Chen You. Since he couldn’t personally strike and Chen You had gotten this chance, he instructed Chen You to torture Su Chen.

In Xue Chi’s view, anyone on the second tier could easily torture Su Chen.

Although Chen You was just an ant in Xue Chi’s eyes, it was enough to torment Su Chen.

"You can rest assured, Young Master Xue." Chen You was stunned for a moment, then nodded respectfully, nodding vigorously, even somewhat excitedly, his face flushed.

He was just a small character, incomparable to Xue Chi, usually having no right to speak to him.

Unexpectedly, now, Xue Chi personally asked him for a favor, and it was an easy matter to accomplish, truly fortuitous luck.

Once he completed this task well, Xue Chi would owe him a favor, truly a stroke of luck sent to his doorstep.

Originally, Chen You was upset about his poor lot, but upon reflection, it wasn’t bad luck at all!

Especially now that Xue Chi had spoken, surrounding young talents looked at him with eyes full of envy and jealousy, leaving Chen You unable to contain his smile, raising his head high.

He was determined to complete the task Xue Chi assigned perfectly.

It’s merely torturing a boy who’s not even in the Divine Lord Realm, right?!

He would complete it flawlessly.

Third Level.

Shee Mi frowned slightly.

She felt somewhat uncomfortable.

In her view, Xue Chi was almost certainly today’s champion, almost certainly her fiancé, yet Xue Chi seemed so vindictive...

No matter the enmity between Su Chen and Xue Chi, the gap in strength is so vast, as is the age difference. Xue Chi’s persistent targeting of Su Chen, even resorting to asking others to torment him, isn’t it going too far?

Isn’t it a bit petty?

Doesn’t it lack the demeanor of a strong individual, a monster?

In fact, it wasn’t just Shee Mi; across the Martial Arts Arena, among the ten billion martial cultivators present, the vast majority held some minor resentment against Xue Chi.

Xue Chi is like a Divine Dragon, while Su Chen is merely an ant among ants, a Divine Dragon targeting an ant this way is indeed excessive.

"Su Chen, withdraw!!! I grant you permission to withdraw now!" Shee Mi took a deep breath and finally spoke.

In fact, according to Shee Ju, once registered for participation.

No withdrawals are allowed midway.

That’s the rule.

Yet Shee Mi still spoke up.

On one hand, she thought Xue Chi was overdoing it.

On the other hand, Shee Mi had met Su Chen once.

She followed her heart.
