Chapter 3872: Chapter 3872: The Cold and Warm Face of Human Relationships (Seventh Update)

This is somewhat terrifying—Gu Han lacks a place like the Samsara Graveyard and the existence of Xuan Han Yu.

Hence, this is definitely not the advancement speed of an ordinary martial artist!

What exactly has happened to Gu Han?

At this moment, many geniuses present couldn’t help but start discussing.

"Who is this person? Do they actually know Young Master Gu?"

"This person comes from Netherworld State? Someone from such a lower tier state can even call out Young Master Gu’s name?"

"I just remembered, that Netherworld State Governor seems to be also from the Gu Family, like Young Master Gu."

"Ah, that makes sense. Surely when Governor Gu Xuan returned home, he brought this young man to meet Young Master Gu, right?"

"However, calling Young Master Gu by name directly—isn’t that somewhat disrespectful?"

The speakers were mostly standing ahead of the stone pillar near Gu Han, and they came from various major states led by Jing Province.

The martial environment, level of martial arts, and even the martial artists’ aptitude in these major states are far superior to that of Netherworld and Liang Province, such minor states.

Gu Han, upon seeing Ye Chen, was also slightly incredulous, and faintly embarrassed, but soon composed himself, reverting to his icy demeanor.

Then, a handsome young man in a golden robe, standing beside Gu Han in front of a stone pillar, curiously glanced at Ye Chen and asked Gu Han, "Brother Gu, do you know that young gentleman?"

This speaker came from Dark Domain Sea Province, a background very extraordinary, only the geniuses from Sea Province could socially connect with prodigies like Gu Han from Jing Province.

For a moment, everyone turned their gaze to Gu Han, eagerly awaiting his response.

However, Gu Han merely replied in an indifferent tone, "He’s just a friend I’ve met once."

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately looked at Ye Chen with ridicule in their eyes.

Although Gu Han referred to Ye Chen as a "friend,"

the aloofness and coldness in his tone were unmistakable—the term "friend" was likely due to Gu Xuan’s connection, right?

In Gu Han’s heart, a small character from Netherworld already has an insurmountable gap with him, how could they ever call themselves a friend?

Ye Chen seemed surprised on hearing this, yet soon smiled faintly and no longer looked at Gu Han.

Back in Black Gold City, Gu Han offended him, but he did not retaliate, sparing Gu Han’s life, even standing up for Gu Han against Zhou Zixun and others...

At that time, Gu Han acted as though he respected him as an elder brother, but now with his rising status, the former Young Master Ye is merely a "friend met once"?

Is this the so-called martial arts backstabber?

Nevertheless, Ye Chen had seen such people too often, feeling somewhat chilling, yet hadn’t cared much.

Meanwhile, the cold female voice rang out again, "Now, agents, please retrieve the Annihilation Spirit Stones you carry."

Yu Hongying, Wei Ji, and the others brightened their eyes—upon removing the Annihilation Spirit Stones, they might glean something about Ye Chen’s martial arts cultivation realm.

After all, even those standing as Supreme Strong Experts in the Dark Domain could shield the sensing of Primordial Origin Energy within their bodies, yet if suppressing realm, with their skills they should detect some anomaly.

Nineteen geniuses each slowly stored their Annihilation Spirit Stones into their storage bags.

Instantly, a dozen powerful presences filled the venue!

The aura of these people varied greatly, but mostly reached the Heavenly Repairing Realm, while Dark Domain Warriors with cultivation at the Qiankun Realm were easily noticed by the Bright Territory, so the first requirement for selecting agents was that the cultivation couldn’t surpass the Qiankun Realm! Heavenly Repairing Realm was undoubtedly the most suitable!

However, as agents of the Dark Domain, if one’s strength is too weak, it’s difficult to make an impact within the Bright Territory, so these geniuses from various state regions, though not reaching Qiankun Realm, were mostly in the late-stage of the Heavenly Repairing Realm!

And Gu Han, merely two small realms away from the Qiankun Realm, was a standout even among the genius of the Nineteen States!

However, among the nineteen, there was an exception...

Who?

Naturally, it was Ye Chen...

Despite multiple advancements, Ye Chen’s strength had surged overwhelmingly, yet his cultivation had not advanced much—still, he possessed a Heavenly God Realm level!

One step away from the Holy Ancestor Realm!

Gu Han glanced at Ye Chen, a smile floating across his lips.

He knew Ye Chen could battle across realms, but he also understood how significant the gap became at higher realms!

No matter how Ye Chen diffused realms, aiming to leap from Heavenly God cultivation to late-stage Heavenly Repairing is nearly impossible!

After all, he, Gu Han, with seventh-layer Heavenly Repairing Realm, killed a terrifying assassin from the Dark Domain, earning the title of an unparalleled monstrous talent from the Gu family elders!

Comparing realm leaps?

The current Ye Chen is no match for me!

He’s no longer the Gu Han who had to be deferential to Ye Chen back in Black Gold City!

Many geniuses, even those governors sitting in chambers, looked at Ye Chen with odd glances...

Is this Netherworld State joking?

Bringing a Heavenly God Realm kid here for what?

This kid, forget about Qiankun Realm, he can’t even possess the power at Heavenly Repairing Realm, which means unusable in the Bright Territory.

Yu Hongying’s expression turned somewhat gloomy, shortly after, she asked Wei Ji, "Can you discern anything..."

Wei Ji was silent for a while, calmly replied, "Can’t tell, this person’s cultivation seems indeed to be at Heavenly God Realm Ninth Level..."

Yu Hongying snorted coldly, "So, does that mean we’ve all been fooled by the Heavenly Pill and Gu Xuan?"

Wei Ji chuckled wryly, "Seems like it."

He felt fortunate that neither Gu Xuan nor Ye Chen were in Netherworld Dark Mansion, otherwise he’d have lost a precious treasure for nothing.

Yu Hongying frowned, "No, if that’s the case, why did Gu Xuan choose him as the Netherworld agent?"

Wei Ji also appeared pensive and fell silent.

Just then, the cold female voice rang out again, "The assessment rule is simple, it’s a duel between pairs, through battling to judge if the agents possess the capacity for this position.

The sequence and opponents of the assessment are arranged by me...

Now, please enter the venue center, Netherworld agent, Ye Shitian."

Ye Chen heard this, moved his figure, and descended into the arena.

Instantly, the geniuses present were somewhat excited, wondering who the fortunate one would be to become Ye Shitian’s opponent?

Although passing the assessment doesn’t necessarily require a victory, as long as one demonstrates sufficient strength, they qualify, the strength, however, considerably determines the status of the agents across states!

In the Bright Territory, these agents, despite directly executing the commands of the Dark Domain, sometimes act collaboratively—under such circumstances, the rank can even decide life and death!

Therefore, defeating several other states’ geniuses is evidently a crucial advantage!
