“Oh? You want to make a move?” Qin Chen smiled. In a battle of the same realm, he truly wasn’t afraid of anyone, even if the outside world praised Yun Mengze to the heavens as the number one talent in Yunzhou, an unparalleled Earth Saint, even capable of contending with a Half-Step Heaven Saint at the unparalleled Earth Saint level.
But in Qin Chen's eyes, this was just a junior wanting to converse with him; it would be more appropriate for the old master of Yun Mengze to come instead. Who has the time to play house with a kid like you?
“Mengze, this kid is too arrogant. Why don’t we let the Lord of the State communicate with the Heaven Workers and have his qualification for the assessment revoked and expelled?” Li Wanxue said coldly.
She was clever enough to know that one couldn’t make a move here, but if the Lord of the State could persuade the Heaven Workers to expel Qin Chen and the others, then everything would be fine.
Yun Mengze glanced at Li Wanxue but didn’t speak. He then coldly looked at Qin Chen and sneered, “You are quite cunning. This is the assessment site for the Heaven Workers; who dares to be reckless here?
However, once the assessment is over, I will challenge you. If you fail to enter the Heaven Workers… then you are doomed!”
Qin Chen stroked his chin and smiled, “I didn’t sign up for the warrior assessment, but if you want to die, I can certainly help you with that.”
Everyone was taken aback.
This kid actually didn’t participate in the warrior assessment?
“Ha, ha!” Yun Mengze laughed, “Then that’s even better. It seems you are dead for sure today. We’re leaving.”
After dropping such harsh words, he turned and left, fearing that he might lose control and really make a move, which would bring him unnecessary trouble.
Passing the Heaven Workers' assessment is the true way. Once he succeeds in the assessment and becomes a member of the Heaven Workers, combined with the status of the Yunzhou Lord, who would dare to stop him from teaching a lesson to an outsider?
A group of people came in a mighty fashion and left dejectedly.
The surrounding people also understood the enmity between Chen Di Pavilion and the Soul Fire Family, shaking their heads as they looked at Qin Chen and the others, as if they were seeing a few dead men.
“Chen Shao, are you alright?” Ao Qingling and Qin Tingting were somewhat nervous.
Qin Chen smiled at the two of them and said, “What could possibly happen?
As long as you two enter the top ten, even if this Yun Mengze had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to touch you!”
Ao Qingling and Qin Tingting were taken aback. Top ten?
The two of them forced a smile; their goal was to break into the third tier and become intern warriors, which would already be sufficient. They never expected Chen Shao’s goal to be the top ten.
How is that possible?
They knew their breakthrough speed was too fast. A year ago, they hadn’t even reached the Earth Saint level. In their traditional mindset, Yun Mengze, Li Wanxue, and Xue Zifeng were the top-tier talents in Yunzhou, and they grew up listening to the legends of these individuals.
Even standing on the same stage, it still felt like they were meeting legendary figures. Such confidence is not something that can be instilled by mere encouragement.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Qin Chen didn’t say much, just sighed and said calmly, “Qingling, Tingting, do you know what is the most important thing for a warrior?”
The two’s faces flushed. This was the first time Qin Chen had addressed them so intimately, causing their hearts to race.
“Talent?”
“Resources?”
“Background?”
The two answered in confusion.
“No, none of those.” Qin Chen shook his head, his eyes shining with brilliance: “It is confidence.”
Confidence?
“Yes, exactly confidence.” Qin Chen said with a serious tone: “The prejudices in a person’s heart are like a mountain; no matter how hard you try, you cannot move it. What warriors do is to go against destiny and refuse to accept fate; that is the destiny of us warriors. Therefore, never think something is impossible; always have confidence. My fate is determined by me, not by heaven. Whether it is demon or immortal, only we can decide.”
