Chapter 1768: Chapter 1765: Wind Thunder Platform_1 Chapter 1768: Chapter 1765: Wind Thunder Platform_1 Now Chai Tao deeply regretted his actions. If given a choice, he would surely not have been so impulsive. After all, the momentary satisfaction was utterly meaningless.
When it came down to a real fight, he wasn’t a match at all. He couldn’t back out now; doing so would lead to the humiliation of the Xuandao Sect. Many people had heard his words today.
Chai Tao was trapped and shivering with anger. Unable to do anything to his opponent, he could only resent his own weakness.
However, at this moment, a heavy, forceful hand clapped him on the shoulder.
Chai Tao was startled, and as he turned to look, he saw it was Yang Chen who had patted his shoulder.
“Yang, Brother Yang …” Chai Tao was on the verge of tears.
Yang Chen slowly said, “Brother Chai, you still need to practice new cultivation methods, and you’re quite busy lately. It’s inconvenient for you to pete, so why don’t I take your place in this match?”
Yang Chen’s words startled Zhang Fu and Ming Hao, as if they had seen a ghost.
When had Xuandao Sect’s disciples bee so brave? They were actually willing to take the risk of a match for their panion’s sake?
“Hahaha, how interesting! Someone is foolish enough to stand up for this kid!”
“Two foolish kids standing together.”
“Birds of a feather flock together. We thought this kid was foolish enough, but someone even more foolish appeared!”
“Kid, are you serious?” Ming Hao licked his lips. From the beginning, he disliked Yang Chen, but since he had already found trouble with Chai Tao, he had no reason to trouble Yang Chen as well.
But who would have thought that Yang Chen would jump in voluntarily and even take a risk for Ming Hao.
Chai Tao never expected that Yang Chen would step forward for him. In an instant, he was filled with tears of gratitude and happiness.
Yang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, slowly saying, “What’s the matter? Do any of you have a problem? We’re not going back on our word about this match, we’re just changing participants. I believe it shouldn’t be a big issue for all of you. If you want, I’ll even allow you to change your representatives.”
In the end, Yang Chen gave a faint smile.
Truthfully, if possible, he wouldn’t want to get involved. But Chai Tao was just too troublesome, and Yang Chen couldn’t bear to let him deal with the consequences alone.
Since he had acknowledged Chai Tao as a friend, he could not just stand by and watch.
To Ming Hao and the others, Yang Chen’s words were undoubtedly provocative, striking their hearts.
If someone else had said this to Ming Hao and the others, they wouldn’t have been so angry. But these words were spoken by someone from the Xuandao Sect, so their meaning was different.
This was equivalent to a recognized weakling challenging them, making them feel like they had no authority in front of a weakling.
“Kid, you really don’t know how high the heavens and how thick the earth are!” Ming Hao sneered.
“Courting death!”
“It seems this kid is new here; he doesn’t know who we are, hahaha.”
In the eyes of others, Yang Chen’s actions seemed somewhat attention-seeking.
“Brother Yang, you don’t have to do this for me,” Chai Tao couldn’t help feeling guilty for putting Yang Chen in this position.
But Ming Hao was afraid that Yang Chen would change his mind, so he directly said, “Kid, it seems you’ve got guts. But remember what you agreed at the beginning. We’ll settle this on the Wind Thunder Platform. The loser hands over all their merits, and there’s no backing out.”
Although Yang Chen didn’t know what the Wind Thunder Platform was, since he had made a promise, there was no turning back. He immediately said, “Alright, no problem!”
“Hahaha, let’s set the time for three days later. How about that?” Ming Hao said solemnly.
“Sure.” Yang Chen agreed.
“Since that’s settled, I’ll let you off today. I hope you’ll be there on time in three days, so we won’t be unlucky!” Ming Hao grinned sinisterly, then waved his hand, signaling his followers to leave with him.
As Ming Hao left, Zhang Fu also cast a dark glance at Yang Chen. He snickered twice, clearly full of contempt, feeling that Yang Chen’s choice was foolish.
After that, he left with Ming Hao.
Yang Chen didn’t care about Zhang Fu at all; his attention was entirely on Hong Yue.
Now, when he and Hong Yue exchanged glances, their hearts understood each other, and without further ado, Hong Yue left.
After this group left, rumors swirled around them. Many people had been too scared to say anything because Ming Hao and the others were present, but now that they were gone, the whispers began.
The focus of the gossip was, naturally, Yang Chen and Chai Tao.
“These two are asking for trouble, daring to provoke Ming Hao. When did the Xuandao Sect’s disciples bee so bold, even going as far as to provoke Shangxian Sect people?”
“The overall achievement of Shangxian Sect this year is third among the Six Powers!”
“Yes, the overall trend seems to be surpassing the second-ranked Qingyu Gate. Rumor has it that Luo Yihong rushed here in a hurry to protect Qingyu Gate’s second place in this Six-sided petition.”
“No way, Luo Yihong has already reached the True God Realm. Even if he es to this battlefield, what can he do?”
For a time, discussions erupted, making Chai Tao blush with shame and embarrassment, unable to face Yang Chen again. He knew that the root of all these events lay with him.
However, Yang Chen didn’t hold anything against Chai Tao. Instead, he patted Chai Tao’s shoulder and smiled amiably, “Brother Chai, let’s get back.”
“Yang, Brother Yang, you don’t blame me?” Chai Tao asked solemnly.
“Haha, we’re friends, so there’s no blame. But speaking of this Wind Thunder Platform, I don’t know much about it. I’m going to need your help to explain it, Brother Chai.” Yang Chen said amiably.
Chai Tao looked deeply at Yang Chen, not knowing if he was unaware of Ming Hao’s strength and weakness or if he was too confident in his own abilities.
Even if Yang Chen could defeat Tu Fei, he was now facing the Shangxian Sect, which was considered too powerful for any of the other Xuandao Sect disciples.
After much thought, Chai Tao knew that now, the only thing he could do was trust Yang Chen.
At the moment, all he could do was say, “Brother Yang, the Wind Thunder Platform is a place where the Six Powers resolve conflicts and disputes that arise among them. To be blunt, it’s a sanctioned environment for fighting. Once on the Wind Thunder Platform, as long as no one dies, no one will interfere regardless of the injuries. And not to mention, once on the Wind Thunder Platform, the loser must pay the price in merit points!”
