The opponent did not use any Saint Origin, yet just a glance had such power.
"This person is formidable, comparable to Elder Yunshi. If we were to spar, defeating him would take at least a hundred exchanges. What's even more terrifying is that within this person’s body seems to be an endless flame, he is a powerful fire attribute practitioner. Indeed, the Tian Gong is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
Unfortunately, the opponent had used the wrong approach.
Qin Chen slightly moved his body, and a refreshing aura enveloped him, instantly eliminating all the fiery energy around him.
Using fire-based rules to attack him was just inviting trouble.
"Mm?" Seeing Qin Chen calm down in an instant, Senior Brother Chimei was slightly moved, emitting a voice like flames burning: "I just left for half a year and didn’t expect such a powerful newcomer to appear in Tian Gong. What is your name?"
"Qin Chen!" Qin Chen uttered two words and said lightly: "You are called Chimei? Possessing the Burning Fire Profound Eye, according to the historical records of the Heavenly Realm, this is considered an extraordinary divine ability. However, I hope the Tian Gong hasn’t allowed you to use divine abilities against your own."
"You are very composed." Hearing Qin Chen speak, Chimei frowned: "Generally, newcomers wouldn't dare speak to me like this. Is this year's newcomer truly exceptional? Facing me, you actually dare to speak freely without any pressure?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Chen was almost speechless. Although the opponent’s tone had neither roared nor shown anger, it was very calm, as if stating a fact. Yet this calmness exuded a sense of arrogance, a superiority that arose from deep within the heart, indicating that Chimei did not regard Qin Chen at all.
"Hahaha, do I need to feel pressure when talking to you? Who are you? A Heaven Saint peak, or perhaps an absolute Saint Master?" Qin Chen coldly smiled: "I've met many big shots, but this is the first time I’ve seen a mid-phase peak Heaven Saint so arrogant. I advise you to be a bit more low-key. You’ve only killed a wanted criminal; you act as if you’ve slain a Saint Master."
"Mm?" Upon hearing Qin Chen's words, Chimei’s expression suddenly turned cold, and flames erupted in his eyes. In an instant, the temperature in the entire hall rose, as if they were trapped in a blazing furnace, about to be burned.
This kid is in trouble.
Many people around gazed over, shaking their heads slightly, with cold laughter, disdain, regret, sighs, and some enjoying the show. Qin Chen appeared very young and unfamiliar, evidently having just joined Tian Gong not long ago, still unaware of the rules within Tian Gong. In Tian Gong, strength is the rule, and Senior Brother Chimei merely cut in line, at most wasting him half a stick of incense's worth of time. Yet Qin Chen dared to confront Senior Brother Chimei, a mid-phase peak Heaven Saint powerhouse; this was not a wise move.
Too young.
Everyone could almost imagine Qin Chen's fate.
Just as Chimei was about to make a move, the counter attendant suddenly shouted coldly: "Chimei, stop! This is the Saint Island Great Hall, not a place for you to act. If you want to fight, go outside."
Then, the attendant looked at Qin Chen with dissatisfaction: "Young man, what business do you have? Can’t you wait a moment? Don’t you see that Chimei has just slain a wanted criminal? You don’t understand the respect due to your seniors?"
"Senior?" Qin Chen coldly laughed, "What kind of senior is this?"
"Hahaha, kid, you are quite arrogant." Chimei glared at Qin Chen, his eyes filled with raging flames: "I have been in Tian Gong for thousands of years and have never seen a newcomer so conceited. Are you sure you want to handle your business first? I give you one last chance to think it over. You need to know that in the Saint Island Great Hall, I cannot act against you, but once you are out of this hall, heh heh..."
"Very sure." Qin Chen lazily ignored his threats and walked toward the counter.
