The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1571: Bet Chapter 1571: Bet Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “B*stard, what did you say?” Huang Can was furious. He had already reached the third level of the Dao Integration realm, which meant that he was two major realms higher than Ye Chen. Therefore, from his perspective, Ye Chen was no different from an ant. However, this ant was now challenging his dignity, which enraged him. His Dao Integration realm aura burst forth. His boundless spiritual pressure surged toward Ye Chen like a tsunami. Ye Chen’s expression was grim.  He did not want to cause trouble, but now it seemed that conflict was unavoidable. However, just as Ye Chen was about to use the power of the Samsara Graveyard, Li Yu’s expression changed as he shouted anxiously, “Fellow Daoist Huang, please don’t be rash!” Huang Can knew that things were bad and quickly withdrew his aura. However, it was already too late. A golden light rose around Ye Chen’s body. The golden light was extremely dignified. Even Huang Can and Li Yu seemed especially small and insignificant in front of this golden light. This was the power of the laws contained in the pill Elder Yong had given him. A wisp of this power in this pill would protect him for a short period of time. Even though Huang Can immediately retracted his aura, he was still affected by the power of the laws, and was forced to take three steps back. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, and it was obvious that he was already injured. He looked at Ye Chen with a gaze full of hatred and murderous intent. Ye Chen, on the other hand, had already relaxed. He looked at Huang Can with a half-smile and said, “Why are you looking at me like that? Are you going to try and fight me? If you don’t dare to, then don’t stare at me like that. I’m not interested in men.” When Huang Can heard this, his eyes went as wide as saucers, and it seemed as if he was about to spit fire. Li Yu quickly came over to smooth things over. “Brother Huang, calm down. Don’t forget our role. If this kid gets injured here, the two of us won’t be able to bear the responsibility.” “Little Daoist Ye, please don’t act on impulse. You just came here, so you probably don’t know much about the Immortal Ascension Competition, right?” Ye Chen glanced at Li Yu and his interest was piqued. When Elder Yong had sent him here, he had mentioned that the Reincarnation Tablet might have something to do with the Immortal Ascension Competition.  As such, he nodded and said,” I really don’t know much about it. Please tell me more.” Li Yu smiled and said, “Those who can ascend through the passageway here are all top-notch geniuses in their respective planes. Even in the Lingwu Continent, the best among them are one in ten thousand. They are extremely talented. Therefore, the major sects and forces have high hopes on these geniuses who do not belong to any force and have unlimited potential. Of course, this is only for the most outstanding ones.” Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. He continued, “So, this Immortal Ascension Tournament is a competition between the major forces to assess the Immortal Ascension Cultivators and select disciples from their ranks?”  Ye Chen was not sure if these forces had any presence in the western regions. Things might become troublesome if someone recognized him. Fortunately, Elder Yong said that the news from the western region had not reached here yet, so there should be no need to worry. The most important thing now was to find the Reincarnation Tablet as soon as possible. “Yes, and as the welcoming guides, our main task is to lead the immortal ascension cultivators to Heaven Ascension City. The Immortal Ascension Competition will be held there.” “Heaven Ascension City? What a strange name.” Li Yu smiled and said, “The major forces in the Lingwu Continent are extremely complicated. The status of the force you join can be said to be closely related to the future of a cultivator. In a sense, it will determine how far a cultivator can go. The top forces in the Lingwu Continent are beyond your imagination!” “If you can obtain the favor of some of the powerful forces during the Immortal Ascension Competition and become one of their disciples, your future is basically assured.” Ye Chen nodded, but then asked casually, “This place borders the western region, so are there any forces from the western region here?” Li Yu was stunned. He did not expect Ye Chen, who had supposedly just reached the Lingwu Continent, to know so much. However, he still replied, “The western region has a lower status among the regions of the Lingwu Continent. However, there are also good sects and families there. If you want to join one of their forces, you can naturally do so.” “Oh? Interesting.” When Ye Chen heard this, a devilish smile appeared on his face. He really did not know what kind of expression those forces of the western region would have when they saw him. “Hahaha, Brother Li, this kid actually wants to join such a sect? Kid, do you know that this Immortal Ascension Competition gathers the most outstanding geniuses from all over?” Huang Can sneered at Ye Chen. “Do you know how low the Kunlun Mountains ranks among the many subsidiary planes of the Lingwu Continent? Do you know that those first-rate forces will only choose the few people who perform the best in the competition?” “As for you? I’m afraid that even trashy sects will ignore you. Do you know how miserable the fate of those who are not recruited by a sect will be?” “Brat, perhaps you can be arrogant in a small place like the Kunlun Mountains, but when you come to the Lingwu Continent, you are just a foolish frog at the bottom of a well. When the competition is over, you will definitely regret not accepting my offer!” Ye Chen smiled confidently. “Who do you think you are? You’re just a shameless scoundrel who covets my wealth. Why do you keep spouting off like this anyway?” ‘A gathering of countless geniuses? So what? I’ll step on them one by one!’ ‘The Kunlun Mountains ranked last? So what? I’ll still stand out!’ ‘After the competition ends, you will regret your condescension and regret every word you said to me!’ Ye Chen’s conceit and arrogance were beyond Li Yu and Huang Can’s imagination. This was the Immortal Ascension Competition. The cultivators participating in the competition were all geniuses who stood out from various places. Which one of them was not an existence that could crush their peers? However, from Ye Chen’s perspective, they were like ants that could be trampled on at will! Huang Can looked at Ye Chen as if he was an idiot. However, Ye Chen was looking at him with the same look. The look in his eyes was as disdainful as could be, which made Huang Can even more furious. He was about to say something when Ye Chen interrupted him, “Do you dare to bet with me?” Huang Can was stunned. This kid wanted to bet with him? What right did he have to suggest something this audacious? “Let’s bet on whether I can take first place in the Immortal Ascension Competition!” Ye Chen’s eyes sparkled as he met Huang Can’s gaze. He did not back down. “If I can’t get first place, I’ll let you do whatever you want with my life, let alone my entire fortune!” “And I don’t care about your life. If I win, you will kowtow to me and apologize to me in front of everyone at the Immortal Ascension Competition!” Asking a Dao Integration realm expert to kowtow and apologize to a Divine King realm cultivator? This was even more unacceptable than killing him in public! However, Huang Can stared into Ye Chen’s eyes. After a few seconds, he slowly replied, “Alright!”  He had to make Ye Chen pay for his arrogance and ignorance. He wanted Ye Chen to suffer a fate worse than death and be consigned to eternal damnation!
