Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Hearing this familiar voice, countless people turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

In the void, Jiang Chen and Yan Ruyu walked out unhurriedly. Jiang Chen, dressed in snow-white clothes, stood tall like a towering pine tree, majestic and unyielding, with a jade-like face and a gentle demeanor.

Exuding an aura that made people feel as if they were basking in the spring breeze, making them involuntarily feel comfortable and amiable.

Although he looked like a mundane scholar, the heroic spirit between his eyebrows was impossible to ignore. He walked with a divine king’s demeanor, looking down on the world, overlooking all beings!

This was different from the arrogance of other prodigies who looked down on people. His humility and confidence were engraved in his bones.

He would not look down on them, nor would he belittle himself before others.

“You are the Primordial Holy Son?” Taigu’s gaze fell on Jiang Chen, scrutinizing him carefully and then slightly disdainfully saying, “It is said that you are reputed to be the number one prodigy of all time!”

“I thought there would be something unique about you! But you seem like a mere embroidered pillow!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Jiang Chen appeared too ordinary, returning to simplicity, with no aura of a strong person detectable from him at all which made Taigu look down on him.

Moreover, Taigu had never walked in the Nine Heavens Realm and had never seen Jiang Chen in action.

Coupled with his own cultivation confidence, he naturally didn’t take Jiang Chen, who was a level below him, seriously.

If they were at the same level, he might still take him seriously, but with a one-level gap, Jiang Chen had no hope at all.

Even a small realm gap among prodigies was a world of difference. Let alone a whole realm? Of course, this was limited to prodigies of the same tier.

If someone was monstrously talented, they might have a chance even with a one-level gap.

“Is Taigu deliberately trying to humiliate the Primordial Holy Son, forcing him to take action?”

“There’s a possibility. Maybe it’s because the Primordial Holy Son’s realm is relatively low!”

“This puts the Primordial Holy Son at a disadvantage!”

“Indeed, it’s a disadvantage. Being a realm lower makes it hard to handle!”

“If it were an ordinary Saint from a small force, the Primordial Holy Son might still manage. But a Saint from the Forbidden Zone is a different story!”

Everyone had different expressions, feeling astonished by Taigu’s words. They also wondered if Taigu was doing this on purpose to suppress Jiang Chen.

Trying to force Jiang Chen to take action.

Faced with these words, Jiang Chen remained calm and unruffled, saying lightly, “Those words sound familiar. Someone once told me the same thing in the past!”

“If you think your higher realm is an unfair advantage, you can fight me at the same realm! In that case, neither of us will be at a disadvantage!” As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked at Taigu with pity.

Taigu might seem to be flaunting the prestige of the Forbidden Zone here, but in reality, his fate was miserable.

It was extremely rare for people from the Forbidden Zone to walk the world in the Nine Heavens Realm. Even if they did, they quickly disappeared as if they had never appeared.

This was because these so-called heirs of the Forbidden Zone were just food cultivated by the old monsters there.

Once they reached a certain level of cultivation, these heirs would become blood food, supplementing the old monsters’ lack of energy to prolong their lives.

These old monsters rarely left the Forbidden Zone because leaving would drain their vitality, affecting their essence, but to maintain their lifespan and combat power, they needed periodic energy supplements.

Not wanting to leave the Forbidden Zone for this blood food, over time, all the Forbidden Zones reached a consensus.

To supplement their energy, they periodically cultivated some people, raising them to a certain level, and then devoured them as food.

In other words, these so-called heirs of the Forbidden Zone, who seemed powerful, were actually just pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

“How shameless are you?” Taigu did not expect Jiang Chen to say such a thing.

Normally, as the strongest prodigies, they were all proud and high-spirited. Even when faced with a realm suppression, they would not yield, nor change, trying to break through with their own strength.

Instead, seeing a higher realm cultivator, these prodigies would be even more excited. Only then could they showcase their uniqueness.

But Jiang Chen didn’t.

Instead, he suggested lowering the realm to fight at the same level. This was something Taigu had not expected at all.

At the same time Taigu caught the look of pity in Jiang Chen’s eyes. This look was the pity of a strong person towards the weak, also a kind of mockery.

At least for Taigu, it was a kind of ridicule. The look lingered, causing Taigu’s inner anger to grow.

I don’t need your pity, and why would I need it? What right do you have to look at me like this?

“Trying to show off your talent but not daring to lower your realm! In the end, you get all the benefits!”

“Besides, you, a person close to five hundred years old, call yourself a prodigy? We are not even from the same era. If you want to show off your talent, I can give you a chance!” Jiang Chen smiled faintly and pointed to the void beside him.

Buzz.

A simple and honest-looking man slowly walked out from the void, wearing a gray robe, looking like an ordinary middle-aged man.

However, his arrival brought instant silence to the surroundings as this honest man was once a world-famous prodigy of the Primordial Holy Land, his status was almost the same as Jiang Chen’s now.

“Tian Fu! Ninth level Saint King, seems to be about to enter the Great Saint realm!”

“One wicked person grinds another. It looks like the Primordial Holy Son is needed to deal with these scoundrels!”

“The Primordial Holy Son is right. If Taigu is really close to five hundred years old, he should challenge his peers to show his talent. Finding the less than twenty-year-old Primordial Holy Son is no achievement!”

“But this Tian Fu was already famous eight hundred years ago!”

“That’s not important. What’s important is if Taigu can defeat Tian Fu, it represents almost invincible strength!”

Seeing Tian Fu come out wveryone was in awe. The Primordial Holy Son was indeed cunning. He didn’t fight himself but let Tian Fu handle it.

And if Tian Fu really took action, Taigu will not be be able to withstand it. Although Tian Fu’s early fame might not surpass Jiang Chen’s, he was still an unparalleled prodigy renowned in the Nine Heavens Realm.

After so many years, his cultivation was about to reach the Great Saint realm.

“What do you think! Heir of the Forbidden Zone, do you want to try? If you can defeat him, I don’t mind fighting you!”

“In this way, you can trample on both the old and new prodigies of the Primordial Holy Land. Your name will be remembered through the ages, and you can look down on all the prodigies of the Nine Heavens Realm!” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

He wouldn’t dare to fight this guy himself. Although the plot had some changes, the core remained unchanged. It was still about fighting for Zi Qingyan.

Zi Qingyan definitely couldn’t be taken away because she was too important for the subsequent plot.

Since she couldn’t be taken away, and he wanted to get the reward, there was only one way left: letting others fight. It just so happened that this guy wanted a challenge.

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Chen thought of Tian Fu. Now the ninth elder of the Primordial Holy Land.

Since the two spies were eliminated, the Primordial Holy Land had promoted two strong Saint Kings and Tian Fu was one of them.

“Holy Son, isn’t this inappropriate? This old man is old. If I’m defeated, won’t the Primordial Holy Land lose face?” Tian Fu had a simple smile, looking not very smart.
