Chapter 2023 Bet (Part 2)
Chapter 2023: Bet (Part 2) Chapter 2023: Bet (Part 2) Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ye Chen’s hands finally touched the moon gate. Feeling the weight of the beautiful crystal gate that made countless geniuses retreat, a faint smile appeared on Ye Chen’s face. What did he feel? It was light! It was too light! In fact, it was just like an ordinary wooden door. It did not give him any pressure at all! At this moment, everyone’s hearts jumped to their throats. They wondered if Ye Chen could push open the moon gate. After all, although some people had witnessed how Ye Chen defeated Zhao Liang, that battle was too strange and ended too quickly. They could not make an accurate judgment of Ye Chen’s strength. Most of them had only heard of Ye Chen’s deeds. but had never seen him in action. As such, they were curious about Ye Chen’s strength. Moments later, Ye Chen exerted force with both hands. The huge crystal gate swung open on both sides like a plastic product. The huge force moved the doors of the gate and the strong wind blew the cultivators who were close to it back half a step. The rule of pushing the moon gate was not to push it open step by step, but to push it open with a single push. With Ye Chen’s push, the incomparably heavy moon gate in front of him let out a loud bang and crashed heavily into the inside. Even the entire ground shook! With this push, the moon gate was completely opened! Silence. The atmosphere in front of the Moon Pavilion froze. All the onlookers stared at Ye Chen with their mouths agape. What kind of power was this? It was too terrifying! This was stronger than a peak-level Star Aperture realm expert, right? However, Ye Chen was only a Creation realm expert! How was this possible? Was he still human? Ye Chen did not mind their shocked gazes. This was an expected result. He merely turned to Xing Zitang and the others, who were already in a daze. He smiled and said, “Brother Xing, Brother Ji, go in quickly.” At this moment, the outside of the Moon Pavilion was in an uproar! Countless people exclaimed and cheered. Ye Chen’s performance was too shocking. Xing Zitang and the others also felt honored as they walked into the Moon Pavilion amidst the cheers of the crowd. However, there were two people who were completely unable to hold back their shock and disbelief. Wu Xian and Wang Zixin could not believe it. They stared at the moon gate that Ye Chen had pushed open and would not close for a long time. In an instant, an incomparable pressure crushed their bodies and minds. “Can you defeat him?” Wang Zixin asked Wu Xian with a trembling voice. Wu Xian was also silent. The secret technique of the Myriad Demon Valley was very powerful and could be said to be heaven-defying. However, it could only increase his strength to a certain extent. Could he push open the moon gate like Ye Chen and make it not close it for a long time? Wu Xian, who was originally full of confidence, was finally fearful. He even regretted taking on the bet. He regretted provoking Ye Chen for no reason. Who would have thought that he would step on a dragon’s tail instead of stepping on an ant by the roadside? Wu Xian’s face was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was tense. His brain was working rapidly as he tried to think of a solution. However, Wu Xian’s mind was now completely blank. What kind of plan was there to deal with Ye Chen’s unimaginable power? It was all empty talk! Wu Xian swallowed his saliva. No! He could not continue like this. He had not taken action yet, but he could already feel a crack in his Dao heart. If he really continued to bet with Ye Chen and was forced to kneel in front of everyone after losing, his Dao heart would completely collapse, right? At this time, Wu Xian could not help but whisper to Wang Zixin, “Zixin, I…” Let’s go first…” Wang Zixin glanced at Wu Xian. She knew that Wu Xian’s words meant that he no longer had the confidence to defeat Ye Chen. If he continued the bet, he would only end up being humiliated. She nodded, and the two of them quietly turned around. Before the crowd noticed them, they were about to leave the Moon Pavilion. “Oh right, didn’t someone say that they wanted to compete with this freshman just now?” someone suddenly said. As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone’s eyes focused on Wu Xian and Wang Zixin, who were about to leave. Wu Xian and Wang Zixin’s faces instantly turned pale. Wu Xian was thinking hard, trying to find an excuse to get away with this when suddenly, a sweet female voice came from nearby. “Who opened the Moon Gate to such an extent?” Everyone was attracted by the woman’s voice and turned around. From the Moon Pavilion, a curvy woman dressed in a transparent veil floated over amidst the moonlight. Even Ye Chen was slightly stunned when he saw this woman. Although she was like Tian Ling, using a veil to cover her face, the veil was much thinner. That faintly discernible face, coupled with a pair of beautiful eyes that were as dazzling as the moon under the stars in the night sky, actually formed a kind of transcending and unparalleled beauty! In Ye Chen’s impression, only Ji Siqing, Xia Ruoxue, Wei Ying, and a few others could compare to this woman in terms of appearance. However, what caught Ye Chen’s attention the most was the woman’s strength! This woman was very strong! She was a Sealed Gate realm expert! While Ye Chen was in shock, he felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows. Who was she? Could she really be the person from the Divine Fire Academy that the Demon Emperor had instructed him to look for? The opportunity for the Demon Emperor to recover his true body was with this person? Ji Xuan, who was beside Ye Chen, tugged at Ye Chen’s sleeve and whispered, “She must be the owner of the Moon Pavilion.” Ye Chen was shocked again. He had heard that the owner of the Moon Pavilion admired cultivators with extraordinary strength. In his imagination, this person should have been a tall man with an extremely sturdy body and a bold and unrestrained demeanor. Who would have thought that it was such a fairy-like woman? “I was the one who pushed open the moon gate,” Ye Chen said politely to the woman. The woman’s bright eyes looked at Ye Chen. When she saw Ye Chen’s cultivation level, a strange look flashed across her beautiful eyes. However, she did not say anything more. She smiled at Ye Chen and said, “It’s been a long time since a newcomer managed to push open the moon gate completely. My name is Chu Ying. Can you tell me your name?” “I’m Ye Chen, a new student at the academy this year,” Ye Chen said. Chu Ying nodded and waved at Ye Chen. A pale golden card fell into his hand. Chu Ying smiled and said, “Any genius who can completely open this moon gate can become a VIP of the Moon Pavilion. This gold card is proof of your VIP status.” “Thank you for letting me see another interesting scene in front of the Moon Pavilion. Please don’t refuse. This gold card is just my gift. With this gold card, you can get a 50% discount on all your purchases in the Moon Pavilion.”
