Chapter 152: Fame That Shakes the World
Chapter 152: Fame That Shakes the World
"Bakayaro!!!"
"Impossible! How could Mr. Hanma lose? He's supposed to be the strongest creature on Earth!"
"Who is this bald guy? There's no way such a powerful fighter exists in Xia Country!"
"Without Hanma-kun, who will defend us against those monstrous creatures?"
"The hope of our great empire has been crushed by the enemy..."
On the Sakura Nation side, angry shouts echoed continuously.
Some people even broke down in tears.
It wasn't that they were saddened by Hanma Baki's death; rather, he had become a spiritual pillar for countless people.
Once the secret realm ended and news of Hanma Baki's death spread, the psychological collapse of the Sakura Nation citizens would bring disastrous consequences.
Many cried because they realized this.
However,
Compared to the anger and sorrow in the Sakura Nation area, the reactions from audiences in other regions were quite the opposite—either shock or excitement.
Apart from the thrill of witnessing the rise of a super-strong fighter, there was another important reason.
In the previous rounds, every opponent Hanma Baki faced had been mercilessly killed by him.
These opponents hailed from various countries.
One of them was even a well-known philanthropist.
Hanma Baki's actions, including killing such a figure, had angered many.
Now that Chen Ye had killed him, after the initial shock and fear, many people began to cheer!
Especially the people from Xia Country, who were thrilled.
"Yes! Well done! Master Chen is invincible! Awesome!!"
"Woah! Is Master Chen really that fierce?"
"Haha, I heard that the Sakura Nation even gave him the title of 'Strongest Creature on Earth'? Shouldn't that title now belong to Master Chen?"
"Strongest creature on Earth? Master Chen is truly worthy of the name!!"
"Unbelievable! Is this the power of an S1 talent? This is just too overpowered!"
"Damn, if Master Chen has such terrifying strength, why has he always kept such a low profile?"
"He's so strong... Why did he use that method to eliminate Lady Qin earlier? Was he deliberately taking advantage?"
"Damn! From today on, Master Chen is my idol!!"
"Bro, if I remember correctly, didn't you look down on Master Chen before? Now you're fawning over him?"
"I have to! With a super-strong fighter like Master Chen in our country, isn't that a blessing for all of us?"
...
Ordinary spectators were excitedly discussing it.
Meanwhile, the top-tier fighters gazed silently at the bald figure on the stage, their eyes filled with deep dread.
Even the Martial God, who previously exuded elegance and grace, now had a grave expression as he looked at Chen Ye.
The Martial God's teammates all seemed to have something to say but hesitated...
Chen Ye's inhuman performance just now had scared them.
Now, they were even beginning to doubt if the Martial God could defeat this bald demon king.
"Hahaha..."
Suddenly, the Martial God burst into laughter, staring at Chen Ye on the stage, his expression filled with extreme excitement, as if he were intoxicated.
It seemed that the emergence of such a strong fighter made him truly happy.
On the other side,
Qin Muyin's gaze was fixed on the holographic screen showing Chen Ye. Her delicate face suddenly calmed down, as if lost in thought.
Her companions were still staring wide-eyed, their expressions horrified.
To think that someone could reduce a living person to nothing?
What kind of power did this Master Chen possess?
It wasn't until Chen Ye's figure passed through the portal and disappeared from the stage that they finally snapped out of their daze.
Steward Jiang suddenly asked, "Master Shiwu! Did you say that this Master Chen is the same person who injured you, Long Aotian? If he truly is Long Aotian, then you..."
Even though Steward Jiang left the rest of his sentence unsaid, everyone understood what he meant.
If Long Aotian really was Master Chen,
Master Shiwu would have been long dead!
There's no way he would still be sitting here alive.
Hearing Steward Jiang's question, Master Shiwu, uncharacteristically, did not get angry. He replied seriously, "There is only one reason! Master Chen showed mercy to me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Then, unconsciously, everyone turned their gaze toward Captain Qin.
In truth, what they wanted to ask most was whether Captain Qin had any confidence in being able to take on Chen Ye.
But no one dared to ask...
...
When Chen Ye returned to the rooftop,
He found that everyone was staring at him with blank expressions.
No one spoke.
No one praised him either.
It actually made Chen Ye feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with you all?" he asked.
"We need a moment to recover…" Cao Yu grumbled, "You keep shocking us, time after time, refreshing our understanding of you. If you keep doing this, who can handle it?"
Chen Ye: "..."
He didn't say anything more and sat down next to Tang Zichen.
The girl had a faint smile on her face, looking peaceful and sweet.
"Class monitor, you must be getting bored sitting around like this every day, right?" Chen Ye asked softly.
Tang Zichen shook her head. "No, being able to witness so many powerful battles is a blessing!"
There was one more thing she didn't say.
Being able to witness Chen Ye's rise personally made her very happy!
The battle continued.
After the tenth round, only 24 people remained, including Chen Ye.
Chen Ye's opponent in the eleventh round, a sixth-tier fighter, immediately forfeited upon seeing him…
He didn't even step into the arena.
Clearly, after his battle with Hanma Baki, Chen Ye had truly made a name for himself.
Everyone now viewed him as a top-tier fighter! No one dared to underestimate him anymore.
In the twelfth round, Chen Ye's opponent also chose to forfeit, allowing him to advance smoothly.
By this point, Chen Ye had successfully led the Wu Da team to a top-10 ranking.
Every member of the top 10 teams would receive 100 potential points.
Don't underestimate these 100 points.
For someone like Chen Ye, who could easily amass attributes, 100 potential points might seem insignificant.
But for others, 100 potential points were a massive windfall, an invaluable treasure.
With these 100 points, it could potentially enhance their strength and help them survive the next secret realm, continuing their path to becoming stronger.
More importantly,
For the members of the Wu Da team,
They had essentially won without lifting a finger! Chen Ye had carried them the entire way…
That evening,
Everyone gathered for dinner.
Principal Lu sighed, "Earlier, Old Chen said that our Wu Da team was in for a huge gain, and I didn't quite understand what he meant. But now… with Chen Ye, we really hit the jackpot!"
Sister-in-law Gao Ye directly thanked Chen Ye, "Mr. Chen, thank you so much. In all my years participating in the National Secret Realm, I've only ever gotten 30 potential points per year. A result like this was beyond my wildest dreams!"
"With these 100 potential points, I feel more confident about the next secret realm," Chicken Bro said. "It's a pity we can't retain our memories. Once we leave, we'll forget Mr. Chen's kindness. So, Mr. Chen, I toast to you!"
Chicken Bro and Sister-in-law weren't particularly close to Chen Ye.
Although Chen Ye was young, his strength was undeniable.
In front of Chen Ye, they didn't dare show any arrogance, always addressing him as "Mr." despite Chen Ye telling them otherwise.
Chen Ye quickly responded, "Mr. Cai, please, no need to be so formal…"
Principal Lu, noticing Chen Ye's discomfort in social situations, immediately raised his glass and said, "Come, let's all toast to Chen Ye!"
Upon hearing this, everyone lifted their glasses.
The drinks provided in the secret realm didn't taste particularly great, vastly inferior to what they had in the palace earlier.
But none of them were heavy drinkers; the gesture was what mattered.
Old Liu said, "Next is the thirteenth round. Including Chen Ye, only six people remain! Tomorrow, the top three will be decided. What are your thoughts, Chen Ye?"
Chen Ye knew what Old Liu was asking.
Both the principal and Old Liu had previously advised him that if he wanted to continue hiding his secrets, it might be best not to take the championship.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ye replied, "Let's see who my opponent is tomorrow. If it's too much, I'll forfeit."
Cao Yu couldn't help but ask, "Old Chen, with your strength, is it really necessary to be this cautious? Even if you're exposed as having an S1 talent, who would dare to assassinate you?"
"My current strength is temporary! My true strength is only at the sixth tier, so it's better to stay cautious."
Chen Ye looked a bit helpless.
In reality, what he was trying to protect wasn't some S1 talent, but the secret of the Bald Demon King!
He had a feeling.
Before long, the Bald Demon King would belong solely to him…
