…
Amidst the praises, Ye Chen suddenly walked out. It was a little abrupt and conspicuous. Everyone's gazes instantly gathered on him. Their eyes were filled with curiosity as they whispered to each other.
"Is this the outsider?"
"He looks really short."
"What is he doing?"
Amidst the discussions, the youth also raised his head and looked over. He curiously looked at Ye Chen and immediately raised his eyebrows. He smiled and said, "I heard that an outsider came to our island. Looking at you, you seem a little interested. Do you want to come and play?" As he spoke, he pointed at the golden stone.
He felt a little uncomfortable because he did not see any admiration or reverence in Ye Chen's eyes. He thought that Ye Chen did not know that although the stone was not big, it was extremely heavy. Immediately, with a relaxed smile, he wanted Ye Chen to personally try the stone.
As the youth's words fell, the surrounding people could not help but turn their heads to look at Ye Chen, laughing and jeering.
"Friend from the outside, this stone is not an ordinary stone."
"Haha, also go and try it. At the same time, experience it."
"Good luck!"
Many people applauded Ye Chen, expressing their welcome.
Ye Chen's expression was the same as usual. He indifferently looked at the youth, and then under everyone's gaze, walked over. He directly came to the front of the youth and closely observed the golden stone. Then, he opened his legs, lowered his waist, and concentrated his Qi into his dantian.
"The handles are here!"
When the youth saw Ye Chen's action, the corners of his mouth curled up in a faint disdainful smile. He pointed at the two protruding handles, "Don't tell me you want to push the stone from the side?"
Ye Chen ignored him. He stretched out his palm and pushed on the golden stone. It was cold to the touch. As he exerted strength in his arm, the dragon-like veins and muscles were exposed. And the heavy and thick golden stone, under everyone's gaze, slowly tilted. The bottom left the ground and rose inch by inch!
The crowd that was originally laughing and talking, in an instant, was dead silent!
Everyone felt as if their necks were being strangled. Their mouths were wide open as they stared dumbfoundedly at the slowly tilting golden rock …
Standing to the side, the young man who had a superior smile on his face suddenly froze. He looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. He could not imagine that such a small body could explode with such a terrifying power. And looking at the height of the rock, it was even higher than him!
Even the girl standing beside him covered her red lips with her hand, her face full of shock.
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly turned his palm and moved it to the bottom of the golden rock. His other hand grabbed one of the handles and his body slowly straightened. The heavy golden rock was slowly lifted up by Ye Chen's hands!
Until the last corner of the rock left the ground …
The entire place was so silent that it was almost suffocating.
Moving and lifting were two completely different concepts. The strength required was completely different. However, the figure that only reached their waist was able to lift the entire rock!
I have the strength to pick up mountains, and my spirit is unrivalled!
He was like a God of War standing in the middle of the crowd!
Everyone looked down at the golden rock that was completely lifted from the ground, which was rarely seen in hundreds of years. Then, they looked at the figure that was exploding with such terrifying power. They had an illusion that this strong shock was no less than an ant slaughtering a mystical dragon!
After that, Ye Chen slowly put down the golden rock in absolute silence. His forehead was covered in sweat. This golden rock definitely weighed 50,000 kilograms!
Even with his strength, lifting it was a little difficult.
Ye Chen retracted his arm. He did not look at the dazed young man beside him. He turned around and walked towards the shocked Huang Shan and his son. Even Huang Lu, who was immersed in his own world of sorrow, was shocked by Ye Chen's actions.
They didn't even dare to think about lifting it up. However, according to the legends of their ancestors, there was once an expert from the Internal Sea God Temple who had come to the island to select candidates for the Battle of the Gods. That was why the Internal Sea God Temple's status was extremely high in the eyes of the villagers.
"Let's go!" Ye Chen patted Huang Shan's arm and said.
Huang Shan came back to his senses and looked at Ye Chen in shock. He said, "How is it possible? How strong are you to be able to lift the God's Stone?"
Ye Chen said casually, "I have the strength of a rank six."
Huang Shan's face was full of tears. How was this a rank six strength? He might even be a rank ten strength!
In terms of strength, no one on the island could compare with him except for the elders.
Hua!
An uproar erupted in the surroundings. Everyone was so excited that they discussed spiritedly. Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as they looked at Ye Chen.
Huang Shan gradually came back to his senses. He looked a little excited and said, "Let's go and test your speed first. Let's see what rank you have reached!"
Strength alone did not mean anything. It was like a blacksmith who had great strength but was slow and clumsy in a fight. It was useless.
Ye Chen nodded. The three of them turned around and left. Huang Lu turned around and looked at the beautiful figure beside the rock. His eyes were a little sad. Then, he bit his lips and turned around to leave.
"Stop!"
A cold voice came from behind. It was the young man. Although he tried to suppress it, everyone could hear a trace of anger in his voice. "I want to challenge you!"
Everyone was stunned. They turned to look at Ye Chen and the other two who were about to leave. Huang Shan turned around in surprise. Huang Lu turned around. When he turned around, the sadness in his eyes turned into anger. He stared at the young man and clenched his fists.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Chen's back.
After a while, Ye Chen slowly turned around. His eyes were calm as he glanced at the young man and spat out two words, "Childish!" Then, he turned around and walked away.
Everyone was stunned.
Childish?
He dared to call a rank six warrior childish?
The young man was also stunned. Then, he said angrily, "You coward! You don't dare to accept my challenge!
You're not a man! "
"Shut up!
Huang Zheng! "
Huang Lu suddenly burst out in anger. With the strength of a rank four warrior, his voice shook the whole place. The unprepared young man, Huang Zheng, trembled in fear.
Huang Zheng felt humiliated. He became even angrier. "Get lost! You're just a rank four warrior. You're not qualified to talk to me!"
Huang Lu looked at the beautiful girl next to him. His anger grew. He clenched his teeth and said word by word, "Three months later, I will defeat you. I accept this challenge!"
Huang Zheng raised his eyebrows. He sneered, "You accept?
If I remember correctly, you were only a rank four warrior during the assessment, right?
Do you think you can reach rank six in three months? "
Huang Lu clenched his teeth. Maybe because he used too much force, blood flowed from his gums. He looked a bit ferocious. "If I fail, I will commit suicide!"
Everyone's expression changed.
Although there were often duels in the village, it was a custom here and was very common. Everyone was a person who advocated martial arts. However, when it came to committing suicide, it was a little too serious. This was already a duel of life and death. Generally, only the murderer of one's father would commit suicide!
Advancing two ranks in three months?
Everyone looked at Huang Lu helplessly. They didn't know what had gotten into this child that made him say such outrageous words. Even a fool would know that to raise one's combat strength by one level, those with poor aptitude would need at least four to five years to succeed. Those with good aptitude would also need one to two years of training!
In just three months, there was still a 1% chance of advancing one rank. Advancing two ranks was completely impossible!
Huang Lu looked around and seemed to have understood something. An intense feeling of humiliation filled his chest. It was like a wild flame that almost burned his entire body to ashes.
He looked at the beautiful girl next to him. His face was pale. Maybe he clenched his fists too hard, causing his nails to dig into his palms. Because even her face was full of shock …
In the end, he bit his lips and silently lowered his head.
Deep in his heart, a huge sadness rose. Because he realized that even he himself thought it was impossible for him to do it …
Huang Shan patted his son's shoulder and said softly, "You've already done very well. Let's go."
Huang Lu silently turned around and left with Ye Chen. He didn't look back …
Huang Zheng angrily looked at Ye Chen and Huang Lu's back. His heart was full of anger. "Bastard, when we meet next time, I'll let you know how stupid it is to look down on a rank six powerhouse!"
After this small disturbance, the people around also lost interest and left one after another.
Huang Zheng looked at the girl next to him and sneered, "That brat who was talking big just now, is he the idiot who confessed to you yesterday?"
The beautiful girl nodded and frowned. She pouted and said, "I used to think that he was quite honest. I didn't expect him to be such a person. He's too rude."
Huang Zheng slightly raised his head and said, "Let's go. Don't pay attention to this idiot in the future. People who bite off more than they can chew will never have a good ending. I think he was blinded by his achievements. He thinks that at his age, reaching rank four warrior is amazing. His confidence is inflated!"
"Yes!" The girl nodded in agreement and said, "Let's go!"
Immediately, the two turned around and left. They had already finished showing off on their journey from East Ox Village to Gaopo Village. The only unpleasant thing was that an outsider came out of nowhere and ruined their prestige.
…
On the other side, Ye Chen and the other two arrived at a forest outside the village.
"I know an area where Stinger Hounds often roam." Huang Shan was experienced. He led Ye Chen on a mountain path, and Huang Lu followed behind silently.
Not long after, they arrived at a grassland. Huang Shan suddenly crouched down and pushed aside the weeds on the ground. He saw a small Y-shaped footprint. He touched the footprint and felt the thickness of the soil. After pondering for a while, he said with a serious expression, "A rank five or six Stinger Hound might have passed by here!"
"Yes." Ye Chen nodded. "Lead the way."
Huang Shan glanced at him. After his previous performance, his confidence in Ye Chen increased a lot. Then, the group moved forward. Not long after, they arrived at a grassland.
They crouched down on the grassland. In the distance, there was a monster with sharp thorns all over its body. It was about the size of an ordinary tiger and looked very aggressive.
