The God of Sky and Earth

Chapter 739: The Youth With the Black Scales!

Cheng Qingfeng tumbled down from the stage, coughing up blood as he struggled to stand. His gaze shifted towards the dueling stage, where once bright golden eyes now appeared startled and filled with astonishment.

He couldn't believe it. He was unable to block a single move. Xu Chen was unbelievably powerful.

In this edition of the Saint Martial Assembly, he had hoped to make a name for himself with a glorious victory. Little did he know, he would suffer such a crushing defeat.

"This round, Xu Chen is the winner!"

After a long while, the old man standing at one corner of the martial arts stage finally regained his composure from the shock. His voice trembled with astonishment as he softly exclaimed, "Is there anyone else who dares to challenge Xu Chen now?"

The surroundings were abuzz with excitement, but no one dared to step forward. Cheng Qingfeng had already made the younger generation present hesitant to easily take the stage. Moreover, at this moment, Xu Chen had the power to defeat Cheng Qingfeng with just one move.

"Do you recognize the history?"

Su Yi asked softly beside Xi Wuqing, a young man of unfathomable depth. Su Yi was very interested in such a person who had also come to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly. Perhaps, there would be a chance for them to have a fight during the assembly.

"I can't tell."

Xi Wuqing shook his head. He couldn't make out the origin of this young man at all.

"The hidden is really deep."

Su Yi was also very surprised. Xi Wuqing could be considered knowledgeable and experienced, but even he couldn't see through Xu Chen's background. This was enough to prove how deeply hidden this young man named Xu Chen was.

"Swoosh!"

Just as the onlookers around thought that no one would dare to challenge Xu Chen, a figure leaped onto the stage.

This person was dressed in plain attire, with coarse clothes tightly wrapped around his body. His robe and hat covered his head, only exposing a small portion of his face, as if he was afraid of being blown away by the wind.

This kind of attire made it difficult to see his age clearly, and even hard to make out his appearance.

The person leapt onto the stage, and instantly, countless eyes were upon him.

Seemingly aware of the numerous gazes around him, the person felt a bit nervous, and lowered his head further.

"Are you wanting to challenge Xu Chen? Please announce your name and which sect you come from. This is the registration token for the Saint Martial Assembly!"

As the old man on the stage noticed the mysterious figure's attire, he became curious and asked them.

"Is this not the place to sign up for the Saint Martial Assembly? I am not here to challenge, I am here to register for the Saint Martial Assembly."

The figure dressed in mysterious attire looked up slightly and asked, revealing a small part of their face.

At this moment, Xu Chen and the old man were both able to see a part of the face of this mysterious person, and they both inwardly showed signs of surprise.

"This is not the place to register for the Saint Martial Assembly. Please don't challenge me either. I have something important to attend to. Goodbye for now."

Xu Chen quickly snapped back to his senses, giving a slight smile. He then extended his hand and gently swept a soft force, retrieving the pill that was just taken out from the nearby stone table. He spoke to Cheng Qingfeng, who was standing below the fallen platform, and said, "I apologize. I didn't mean to defeat you. I don't need those things, so you can have them. Until we meet again!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Chen leaped down from the martial stage and rushed into the crowd, shouting loudly, "Luo Luo, wait for me, wait for me!"

In the sea of people, Xu Chen ventured into the crowd, his figure slipping away like a slippery loach, quickly disappearing among the masses.

The onlookers around had a hard time snapping back to reality. This young man named Xu Chen, with just one move, had defeated Cheng Qingfeng, but seemed indifferent to the rewards, which was quite peculiar and mysterious.

Su Yi and Xi Wuqing exchanged glances, both feeling a bit perplexed. That young man called Xu Chen was truly mysterious indeed.

On the martial stage, the enigmatic figure looked quite surprised and finally turned his gaze towards the old man on the podium, continuing to ask, "Isn't this where the Saint Martial Assembly registration takes place?"

"Who's this person? This isn't the place for signing up, please don't create trouble, hurry and go down."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then loudly scolded, "This is the martial stage, not a place for causing trouble."

"Sorry, I made a mistake and came to the wrong place."

The voice of the mysterious figure sounded a little timid. From the sound of it, it seemed to be a young person of a tender age.

As soon as the words fell, the mysterious figure descended from the stage and lifted their gaze ever so slightly.

"Why do I look like this? Could it be that I am a half-fairy?"

"It turned out that he was half monster!"

"It is so ugly, how gross!"

As the mysterious figure walked down the stage, the onlookers along the way suddenly had a drastic change in their expressions. They quickly moved away, whispering disapprovingly with disdain. Their gazes turned unfriendly and filled with hostility.

The mysterious figure lowered their head, listening to the murmurs around them, and their head lowered even further. It seemed as if they wished they could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Suddenly, there was a figure ahead who didn't make way and blocked the path. A calm voice reached the ears of the mysterious figure, saying, "The registration is outside the city. Tomorrow is the Saint Martial Assembly, hurry up and go. It might be too late if you wait any longer."

The mysterious figure lifted their gaze, looking at the person speaking in front of them. It was a young person, around eighteen or nineteen years old. However, inexplicably, they carried an aura that revealed to the mysterious figure the location for registration.

Su Yi gazed at the mysterious figure before him. They appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, completely covered from the neck down, with no room for air to pass through. They were tightly wrapped, and even wore a hooded robe that concealed their face. Only when they lifted their gaze could half of their face be seen.

The young man's entire face was covered with scattered black scales. His hair was also messy, and sparsely scattered black scales covered the top of his head. The scales on his face were accompanied by wrinkles and veins, giving him an ugly appearance.

With such an appearance, Su Yi was indeed taken aback for a moment. No wonder Xu Chen seemed to briefly change color earlier.

But soon, Su Yi regained his composure and greeted the newcomer with a faint smile, nodding in acknowledgement.

"Thank... thank you."

The young man with black scales gazed at Su Yi, bowing his head in gratitude, his eyes filled with appreciation.

What he was grateful for was not only that the former had told him where to sign up, but also that he could see everyone avoiding and despising him, but he could feel, from the look in the eyes of this young man before him, that there was no avoidance or disgust at all.

The former seemed startled for a moment, but that was just a pure initial reaction. Anyone who saw him would have this natural response.

"You're welcome," Su Yi replied with a slight smile.

The young man with scales nodded, then lowered his head and walked away.

"I am a half-demon, oh dear..."

Xi Wuqing's voice gently whispered in Su Yi's ear, sighing slightly.

"Huh, this feels so familiar. Have I seen this young person somewhere before?"

"Yes, it seems to be Yi Su from the Overlord Sect!" As Su Yi engaged in conversation with the young man in scales, people around began to watch and whisper, sensing that Su Yi resembled Yi Su from the Overlord Sect, who had gained much fame outside the City Master's mansion just two days ago.

"Go..."

Listening to the murmurs around him, Su Yi didn't hesitate and immediately slipped into the crowd, just to avoid any potential trouble.
