reax;
Scar Peak was an extremely tall mountain within the Scar Manor's territory.
This mountain wasn't famous at first, and it wasn't called Scar Peak.
Later on, due to certain reasons, the annual Genius Exchange was held on this mountain peak.
Later on, the mountain was renamed Scar Peak.
Now, Scar Peak had become a symbol of honor for the younger generation.
Any martial artist who could step onto Scar Peak was a genius martial artist.
Today, Princess Xin brought Fang Chen out of the Heaven Mark Sect early in the morning and headed to Scar Peak.
The streets of the Scar Mansion were bustling with people coming and going.
On the way to Scar Peak, Fang Chen received a piece of news.
Qing Hou had come out of seclusion, and his cultivation had reached the ninth stage of the Heaven Star Border Realm.
Soon, Qing Hou came to meet up with Fang Chen.
Qing Hou's temperament had changed greatly, as if he was a different person.
His body was filled with a sharp aura.
Fang Chen rejoiced in his heart. It seemed like Qing Hou had completely refined the puppet.
"Brother Qing Hou," Fang Chen greeted.
"Brother Xue, I'm not late, right?" Qing Hou smiled.
Fang Chen introduced Princess Xin to Qing Hou.
"Princess Xin," Qing Hou greeted.
Princess Xin looked at Qing Hou thoughtfully. The three of them headed to Scar Peak side by side.
A large number of martial artists had gathered at the foot of Scar Peak.
These martial artists were all martial artists who were not qualified to ascend Scar Peak.
When Fang Chen and the rest arrived, there were already many martial artists on Scar Peak.
Fang Chen raised his head and looked. Scar Peak was divided into five steps.
One step after another, and the highest step was the peak.
The second step was halfway up the mountain.
The third step was halfway up the mountain.
The fourth step was halfway down the mountain.
The fifth step was when one left the foot of the mountain.
The five steps were clearly separated.
"The five steps represent five echelons of geniuses. Only the top five geniuses are qualified to step onto the peak," Princess Xin introduced.
"Five groups?" Fang Chen was slightly startled before he quickly asked.
"But today, there are three more people." Princess Xin smiled.
Everyone looked at Princess Xin when they saw her.
Fang Chen and the other two ignored the crowd and stepped onto the mountain peak.
It wasn't until they reached the third step that someone finally spoke.
"Princess Xin, you are qualified to go up, but they are not."
Every time there was an exchange, there would be battles.
It wasn't something that could be done just because you wanted to. You had to fight your way up.
Princess Xin glanced at Fang Chen and Qing Hou and said, "I'll wait for you at the peak."
After saying that, Princess Xin ascended the mountain peak.
Fang Chen and Qing Hou looked at each other.
"I'll go first."
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, he suddenly punched out.
Immediately, the person who spoke was sent flying.
After that, he swept his gaze over all the martial artists on the third step and asked with a smile, "Am I qualified to go up now?"
No one answered. When Fang Chen's gaze swept over them, they all lowered their heads.
Next was Qing Hou.
After his cultivation base reached the Heavenly Dipper Realm 9th layer, his strength was even more powerful.
He didn't need to use a puppet to deal with a genius on the third step.
It was also an extremely sharp punch that ended the battle.
The two of them both stepped onto the second step.
Those who could step onto the second step were basically the top geniuses on Scar Island.
Here, Fang Chen saw some familiar faces.
Huo Cheng, Yu Feilong, Feng Kuang, and the others from the Heavenly Mark Sect were all here.
Of course, there were also some disciples from other Sect.
When Feng Kuang and Yu Feilong saw Fang Chen, their eyes were filled with hatred.
However, the two of them didn't have any intention to attack.
"Everyone, this person wants to reach the peak. What should we do?" Feng Kuang smiled sinisterly.
"Hmph, now any random person dares to come up." A young martial artist from the Ou Clan said coldly.
"This person is pretty strong. He sent a genius from the third step flying with a punch." Yu Feilong smiled.
Fang Chen could tell that Yu Feilong was instigating the others to attack.
He glanced at Yu Feilong and didn't say anything.
"Who's not convinced?" Fang Chen asked directly.
"I, Ou Feng, am not convinced."
The Ou Clan's Ou Feng stood up and blocked Fang Chen's path.
Fang Chen activated his perfect sword body and punched out.
Crack.
The Ou Clan's Ou Feng didn't even have the chance to fight back and was sent flying.
"Who else is not convinced?" asked Fang Chen.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Their faces were filled with fear.
Just who was this person? How could he be so strong?
After Ou Feng was defeated, another person from the Ou Clan jumped out.
Without saying anything, he began to fight with Fang Chen.
However, after a few moves, he was suppressed by Fang Chen.
After two Ou Clan's disciples were defeated in a row, Ou Ruochen's expression was incomparably gloomy.
On the peak.
The five heavenly geniuses were standing there, calmly looking at the scene below.
"Ou Ruochen, your Ou Clan's younger generation is only so-so. To be beaten to such a state by a nobody."
The one who spoke was Lei Yan. He was proficient in the Dao of Lightning. His cultivation technique was extremely overbearing, and his temper was extremely fiery.
Among the five heavenly geniuses, there was almost no one who was willing to provoke Lei Yan.
"Hmph, he's just a clown. There's no need to fear him."
Ou Ruochen indifferently looked at Fang Chen as if he was just an ant.
"I think this brat has some ability. He's very strong. He's a formidable opponent."
The one who spoke was also one of the five heavenly geniuses. His name was Ji Hong.
"Ji Hong, you couldn't have been intimidated by this brat, right?" sneered Gu Tie.
Ji Hong shook his head and didn't say anything else.
As for Zhu Mo, he hadn't said anything from the beginning to the end. However, his eyes were filled with anger.
As long as Fang Chen stepped onto the peak, he would attack him.
Just as the five heavenly geniuses were discussing Fang Chen, he had already intimidated the second tier cultivators.
Next was Qing Hou.
Although he was strong, he wasn't a match for the second tier cultivators.
In the end, Qing Hou took out a few puppets and defeated several geniuses. He successfully stepped onto the peak.
Seeing this scene, there was an uproar at the foot of Scar Peak.
The situation was almost the same every year. It had been a long time since a genius who could challenge the five heavenly geniuses had appeared.
Apart from Princess Xin, the five heavenly geniuses had dominated in recent years.
However, two of them had appeared at the same time this year.
"There's going to be a good show."
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the peak.
"You're not welcome here."
"A clown will always be a clown. Do you think you're qualified to challenge the five heavenly geniuses just because you defeated a few trash?"
"What a joke. The five heavenly geniuses risked their lives to make a name for themselves. How can someone like you compare to us?"
"You're willing to be a sparring partner for others. That's all you've got."
The last sentence was said by Zhu Mo.
Hearing Zhu Mo's words, the other heavenly geniuses sneered and mocked Fang Chen.
"What? You're the one who was a sparring partner for Princess Xin?"
"Hahaha, I was wondering why I felt like a villain."
"Trash will always be trash. Being a sparring partner for others, you're not qualified to stand with us."
Fang Chen's gaze swept over them. Among the five heavenly geniuses, only Ji Hong didn't say anything. The other four were full of ridicule.
"What's wrong with being a sparring partner?" said Fang Chen. "Why don't you think about why Princess Xin didn't let you be her sparring partner?"
"That's because you're not qualified," added Qing Hou.
Fang Chen nodded at Qing Hou, satisfied with the last hit.
As expected of a good brother. He knew what he wanted to say and directly said it for him.
Qing Hou's words completely infuriated the five heavenly geniuses.
Especially the hot-tempered Lei Yan. He raised his eyebrows and glared at Fang Chen and Qing Hou.
"Two clowns, let me, Lei Yan, teach you a lesson."
Lei Yan was about to attack when he finished speaking.
However, Fang Chen stopped him.
"The five heavenly geniuses should have a ranking, right? Who's first?"
"Why are you asking this?" Lei Yan's eyes widened.
"I only fight with the first. It's a waste of time to fight with the others." Fang Chen shrugged.
On his face, there was a harmless look on his face.
However, the other four heavenly geniuses were infuriated.
"Kid, do you want to die?" asked Lei Yan.
Ji Hong shook his head. "Today is an exchange. Since these two managed to come all the way here, it means that they're also outstanding. At the very least, they're qualified to stand here."
"Calm down, all of you. Our purpose here is to communicate with each other, not to argue with each other."
After hearing Ji Hong's words, Lei Yan suppressed his anger.
He looked at Ou Ruochen and the other two.
Ou Ruochen nodded. "That's right. We can't waste everyone's time just because of two flies."
Then, Ou Ruochen sat down cross-legged. Lei Yan, Gu Tie, and Zhu Mo also sat down one after another, forming a circle.
Seeing this, Ji Hong smiled and walked over to sit down.
"Princess Xin, come and exchange pointers with us."
Ou Ruochen invited, ignoring Fang Chen and Qing Hou.
Princess Xin shook her head and refused.
Seeing this, Ou Ruochen's expression kept changing, but in the end, he endured it.
The five heavenly geniuses exchanged pointers.
Everyone was talking about their own experiences, while the other four were meditating.
Fang Chen sneered. These so-called heavenly geniuses were really narrow-minded.
How could they reach the peak of martial arts with this kind of mentality?
"Brother Qing Hou, let's exchange pointers."
Fang Chen pulled Qing Hou's arm and walked to the other side of the peak to exchange pointers.
At this time, Princess Xin also came over.
"You don't mind if I join, right?" Princess Xin smiled.
"Of course not."
Ou Ruochen and the others saw this scene and became even angrier.
"When the exchange is over, it'll be your death."
After Lei Yan finished talking, it was Ji Hong's turn.
Then, it was Gu Tie's turn, followed by Zhu Mo's.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. When Zhu Mo finished, it was Ou Ruochen's turn.
"Brother Ou, it's your turn." Zhu Mo smiled.
Ou Ruochen nodded. "The path of martial arts requires a tenacious heart. If you're blindly protected by the strong, you'll never be able to grow."
