Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Fang Yuan Enters the Fray Chapter 175: Fang Yuan Enters the Fray Under the overwhelming impact of Jiang Chen’s charismatic aura, thousands of female disciples were completely captivated, their faces flushed with a mix of infatuation and awe.

A few were so overcome by his striking presence that they swooned, leaving Jiang Chen momentarily taken aback.

‘Has my charm really become so powerful?’ With a puzzled raise of his eyebrows, he used his divine sense to examine himself, recognizing a clear increase in his physical allure.

Jiang Chen had always been remarkably handsome-a distinguished Villain endowed with piercing, vibrant eyes, a perfectly sculpted face, and flawless skin, complemented by hair as dark as the deepest night.

However, the transformation triggered by the Burning World Red Lotus, the progress of his cultivation base, and the use of various cultivation techniques had further enhanced his physical appeal and personal charisma.

The enhancements were unmistakable-his facial features became sharper, his skin glowed radiantly, and his eyes shone with increased brightness, reflecting a blend of wisdom and mesmerizing charm.

Among the many changes, the transformation brought about by the Burning World Red Lotus had the most significant impact, boosting his charm to an unmatched level.

‘No wonder Xie Xiaojing was instantly charmed!’ A slight, knowing smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth upon this realization.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand, acknowledging the enthusiastic disciples.

This simple gesture unleashed an even greater wave of cheers and excited shrieks from the captivated crowd.

‘Damn it!

Jiang Chen has stolen all the spotlight!’ Fang Yuan fumed with indignation, then scoffed, ‘Enjoy your moment, for the greater your joy now, the deeper will be your despair when you fall!’ He had personally suffered the harsh fall from radiant glory to bleak misery.

Fang Yuan wished for Jiang Chen to endure this same agony!

Furthermore, he aimed to leave Jiang Chen not just defeated, but completely shattered, forever crushed under his dominance!

Meanwhile, after interacting with a group of admirers, Jiang Chen sat down to wait for the next lottery draw while watching the duels on the other platforms.

The contenders for the Holy Son’s title were the top disciples from the current generation of the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

Though there were differences among them, the gap was relatively small.

Instances like Jiang Chen, who could end a fight with a single move, were extremely rare.

Most had to fight through several rounds before determining a winner.

On some platforms, two disciples were so evenly matched that the result was uncertain, creating a thrilling spectacle that captivated the audience intensely.

As time gradually passed, one could see these exceptional disciples pushing their limits, continuously displaying various types of spells.

Those with high Fate Value were likely to become Fang Yuan’s future followers.

For these individuals, Jiang Chen would, of course, compete wholeheartedly to win their loyalty!

In a short while, the first round of the stage duels had completely finished.

After all, these were battles at the Heavenly Origin realm, and every move made by the cultivators was remarkably quick!

Even those caught in a stalemate wouldn’t remain so for long.

“Now, let us start the lottery for the second round!” The Elder overseeing the draw gestured, releasing dozens of glowing orbs.

These orbs were meant for the victors to draw lots.

For those defeated, their ranking competition continued through challenge matches.

Any disciple unhappy with their rank could challenge those above them, and they had three chances to do so.

This time, in the winner’s draw, Jiang Chen also participated.

Soon, everyone had finished drawing their lots.

“Now I will reveal the lineup!” “Wu Xingwen, versus Jiang Chen.” …

…

“Shi Junying, versus Fang Yuan!” As soon as the Elder finished announcing the roster, the entire venue erupted into a flurry of animated discussions.

Naturally, most of the conversation focused on Fang Yuan.

“Fang Yuan is finally entering the fray.” “Senior Brother Jiang Chen talked about his extraordinary strength; I wonder how strong he really is!” “Regardless, he’s incredibly powerful.

Shi Junying doesn’t stand a chance.” “True, I saw their last duel, and Shi Junying was defeated.” One disciple after another joined in the conversation.

They all trusted their Senior Brother Jiang Chen’s judgment, so they were mentally prepared for Fang Yuan’s expected victory.

The second round of battles began!

Jiang Chen gave Wu Xingwen the same respect as Tian Yuanqing, using his full strength and quickly ending the duel with a single move.

At the same time, on the platform where Fang Yuan was fighting, his opponent was a flamboyantly dressed young man named Shi Junying.

This man came from a clan even more powerful than Fang Yuan’s.

He was a highly talented cultivator and a somewhat skilled prodigal son.

Ordinarily, Shi Junying, this wastrel, would have certainly scorned Fang Yuan, only to be sharply rebuffed.

However, remembering Jiang Chen’s earlier comments, and the widespread belief among the disciples that he would lose to Fang Yuan, his usual disdain had lessened, replaced by serious contemplation.

Shi Junying remained silent.

His gaze was firmly fixed on Fang Yuan, constantly searching for any weaknesses.

Yet, Fang Yuan appeared relaxed and full of openings, making Shi Junying even more hesitant to make a move.

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes as he noticed his opponent’s hesitation.

Thinking to himself, ‘This is going nowhere, I should make the first move,’ he then charged directly at Shi Junying.

However, he did not use his full strength.

After all, there were more duels to come, and conserving some of his combat resources could improve his chances of winning future battles.

Seeing Fang Yuan charge toward him, Shi Junying quickly activated his defenses.

A blue, ice-like barrier materialized in front of him instantly.

Ding!

Fang Yuan’s sword, empowered with Origin Power, struck the ice barrier, sounding like metal hitting metal.

But moments later, cracking noises filled the air as spider-web-like fissures spread across Shi Junying’s ice barrier, on the brink of shattering.

Shi Junying was prepared for this outcome and wasn’t surprised.

Instead of retreating, he surged forward, letting out a low battle cry, “Sky Breaking Claw!” His hands transformed into formidable claws, aiming at Fang Yuan’s head from both sides of the ice barrier.

This was a tactic of replacing defense with a swift offense!

However, Fang Yuan’s sword Qi suddenly exploded with even greater force, “Boom!”, piercing through the ice barrier instantly and converging on Shi Junying’s forehead.

Hum hum!

A protective formation barrier appeared, intercepting Fang Yuan’s sword Qi with a metallic clang, saving Shi Junying.

“Aagh!” Shi Junying, although defeated, refused to stop his attack, his claw-like hands furiously striking at Fang Yuan.

‘Hmph!’ Fang Yuan inwardly scoffed, promptly invoking his Overlord Embodiment Art.

A golden silhouette abruptly appeared around his body, effectively blocking Shi Junying’s assault.

Before things could escalate further, the referee called “Halt!” in a timely manner and declared, “Fang Yuan wins!” Fang Yuan’s face showed no emotion; he quickly bowed in a polite salute saying, “You’ve conceded me the victory!” then turned and walked away.
