Chapter 220 -208: The Qi Fortune that Crossed Oceans to Come Knocking at the Door!
Regarding this, Chen Yuan’s choice was to use his life to issue a challenge. If someone wanted to spar with him and gain fame by associating with his reputation, they could, but they had to pay a price.
Otherwise, wouldn’t challengers become endless in the future?
Chen Yuan didn’t care for a reputation of Renyi; he only wanted to improve his strength and position.
However, he couldn’t actively damage his own reputation. Just two days ago, Tao Qingyuan made it very clear to him that since he had reached the top one hundred of the Hidden Dragon List, he had already caught the attention of Qingzhou’s Golden Envoy.
This meant that Chen Yuan had a backer as reliable as those from prestigious sects, which served as his protective charm. To have higher ups value him more,
he had to demonstrate his potential for all to see.
Moving up the Hidden Dragon List was a good way to do that.
Even though Chen Yuan had exceptional potential and had caught the eye of some, in reality, he did not have any significant connections. As for the Taoist Divine Palace… Chen Yuan felt that they had probably already forgotten about him as a reserve member.
Chen Yuan never pinned his hopes on them anyway.
“Your subordinate has already relayed this to the visitor, but they still submitted a challenge letter, oh… they are from Ascending Immortal Tower,” Li Dongshan hurriedly said.
If it were not for people from Ascending Immortal Tower, Li Dongshan wouldn’t even consider accepting such a challenge letter.
“People from Ascending Immortal Tower?”
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, revealing a look of surprise. This was the first time he had received a challenge letter from Ascending Immortal Tower, and such a challenge usually indicated Ascending Immortal Tower’s acknowledgment of one’s eligibility.
It was likely another genius from the potential list.
Chen Yuan, now interested, picked up the challenge letter again to see who this talented individual was who, despite the risk of a deadly duel, wished to fight him.
Ordinarily, such a person would not be permitted by their sect.
The challenge letter unfolded, and the first line read:
“To Master Chen…”
This unusual form of address made Chen Yuan’s gaze slightly sharpen as he continued to read. Yagyu Shinichi introduced himself and expressed long-standing admiration for Chen Yuan,
hoping for a swift duel, with Ascending Immortal Tower adjudicating the outcome… He was also willing to comply with Chen Yuan’s requirement of a life-and-death match, stating that this embodied the spirit of a warrior…
Putting the letter away, Chen Yuan’s brows slightly furrowed, showing a contemplating expression. He had thought it was some Jianghu prodigy wanting to make a name by stepping on him, but it turned out to be a Japanese brute…
Chen Yuan had learned a bit about Japan, a country composed of several small islands and rather narrow, probably comparable at best to one of Great Jin’s Thirteen States.
It was similar to the prosperous nation from his previous life.

Located in the East Sea, many in the Central Plains considered it a barbarian place beyond civilization, rumored to be a remnant of a small country that had crossed the sea during the chaotic period before Great Chu’s establishment.
It had a history of over a thousand years by now.
And to this day, Japan, this small country, had been in exchange with the Central Plains for many years, and its martial arts prodigies often ventured into the Central Plains, many leaving behind reputations.
As he knew, among the current top fifty of the Dragon Tiger List, two were Japanese Martial Artists with sharp saber techniques and profound cultivation… This Yagyu Shinichi was probably planning the same as those in the top fifty,
challenging geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List to make a name for themselves.
And now, he was regarded as an easy target!
A hint of sharpness flashed across Chen Yuan’s eyes. Although this Japanese had no relation to those from his previous life who lived comfortably,
he couldn’t suppress his killing intent…
Moreover, with a genius challenge like Yagyu Shinichi’s, Chen Yuan really couldn’t refuse. Aside from official reasons, as he couldn’t tarnish his reputation as a genius,
even if he refused, Yagyu Shinichi would probably wait at his door for a challenge, unless he publicly declared his inferiority to Yagyu Shinichi—therefore, the duel was inevitable.
Fighting wasn’t the issue, but Chen Yuan was still slightly annoyed because if Yagyu Shinichi dared to challenge him, he must possess strength not inferior to the old Blood Demon.
His Heavenly Gang Cultivation could not be concealed.
Chen Yuan had not revealed his cultivation level to Tao Qingyuan, thinking he would surprise Tang Qian and others during their fight, but that was no longer possible…
“My lord, should we accept the duel?”
Li Dongshan asked in a low voice, cautiously considering the dangerous aura emanating from Chen Yuan.
“A mere Japanese swordsman dares to come to the Central Plains and act violently? As a Heavenly Patrol Envoy of the imperial court, how can I allow such a person to be so presumptuous? Go… reply to the Ascending Immortal Tower’s challenge letter. Tell them I accept the duel. Set the location at Yunjiang, and the time at Yagyu Shinichi’s discretion,”
Chen Yuan instructed, tossing the letter to Li Dongshan.
A challenge letter from Ascending Immortal Tower was definitely not for a covert fight but for an open and fair battle, and to also evaluate the strength of both parties.
Chen Yuan secretly thought to himself that if the duel was to happen, so be it. His revealed strength might just make Tao Qingyuan resolve to act against the Azure Flood Dragon Association and also deter the petty criminals.
“Yes, your subordinate obeys,”
After taking the letter, Li Dongshan turned to leave.
“Wait…”
Chen Yuan suddenly stopped him.
“My lord?”
“Buy a report on this Yagyu Shinichi at the Ascending Immortal Tower.” Although Chen Yuan was not afraid of these little buggers, knowing both the enemy and oneself means never facing defeat in a hundred battles, Chen Yuan also wanted to see what this Yagyu Shinichi was truly capable of, daring to challenge him.
“Yes!”
Of course, Li Dongshan was unaware of the deeper reason, which was that Chen Yuan, upon learning of Yagyu Shinichi’s identity, speculated that the Qi Fortune child he had been anticipating for days might be this person.
According to past experiences, the likelihood was significant.
Crossing seas to deliver Qi Fortune… tsk, tsk, tsk… such a good person!
…
…
Within the Ascending Immortal Tower, when Chen Yuan wanted information about Yagyu Shinichi for reference, Yagyu Shinichi was also examining some in-depth reports on Chen Yuan.
The more he read, the more exceptional and mysterious he found it.
No wonder he was dubbed the Demon Blade.
Previously an obscure arrest officer in a county under Nanling Prefecture, he had been exceedingly ordinary, with no outstanding talents, but since coming to the Prefecture City, he was like a hidden dragon entering the sea, swiftly climbing to the top hundred ranks of the Hidden Dragon List in just a few months.
If this man wasn’t concealing his skill before, then his talent is frightening indeed. Even he had to admit inferiority. However, it’s precisely such an opponent that roused his spirit and ignited his fighting will.
Once the challenge was returned, Yagyu Shinichi learned that Chen Yuan had accepted the fight, the location set above the Yunjiang River in the north of Nanling City. He had no objections; the place did not matter.
As for the time, after consulting with the owner of Ascending Immortal Tower, Ye Chenbai, he set it for noon the following day!
The Ascending Immortal Tower formally spread the news within a very short period across all four districts of Nanling Prefecture. This battle was not only a contest between Chen Yuan and Yagyu Shinichi,
but also a fight to expand the influence of the Ascending Immortal Tower.
With the powerful dissemination by the Ascending Immortal Tower, in just half a day, most of the Jianghu Martial Artists within Nanling Prefecture knew that a great battle was going to take place above the Yunjiang River at noon tomorrow.
One was Nanling Prefecture’s famous figure, Chen Yuan, ranked among the top hundred on the Hidden Dragon List, while the other was a Japanese Swordsman, a rising star among potential fighters from Japan who came to challenge the talent list of the Central Plains. After setting foot in the Central Plains, he fought three battles and won every time, climbing from over three hundred on the Hidden Dragon List to the top hundred. However, because Chen Yuan ascended earlier, he was pushed down from his position.
But no matter what, both could be called legendary, opponents on the same level as Chen Yuan.
This clash between the two has attracted a lot of attention. Many people are preparing to watch the duel tomorrow to see whether the Central Plains Martial Artists are stronger or the foreign barbarians.
Of course, most people are psychologically in favor of Chen Yuan winning.
People support their own family after all…
Tang Qian of the Azure Flood Dragon Association, Shi Yunlong of the Changle Gang, Xu Lingtian of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Fa Nan of the Gold Mountain Monastery, and a host of Reach Profound experts… even some officials from the government office had taken an interest and decided to witness this contention.
A confrontation between the top hundred talents from the Hidden Dragon List is rarely seen, even more eye-catching than a fight between ordinary Reach Profound Martial Artists.
Old acquaintances of Chen Yuan, such as Shen Yanshu and Yue Shan, also had their reactions.
In a word, under the publicity of the Ascending Immortal Tower, the fight between Chen Yuan and Yagyu Shinichi attracted countless people. Of course, the reason for such an effect was not only due to the curiosity about Yagyu Shinichi, the Japanese Martial Artist but also because Chen Yuan had once proclaimed that those who wish to challenge him must fight to the death.
That’s what attracted so many people’s interest in watching the battle.
While the outside world was noisy and abuzz with discussions, Chen Yuan was also busy. Tao Qingyuan, after learning of the matter, immediately summoned him to the Heavenly Patrol Hall.
On the way, Chen Yuan reflected on the information about his opponent, Yagyu Shinichi, and a look of solemnity involuntarily appeared on his face, although he had never underestimated Yagyu Shinichi before,
now his vigilance deepened even further.
The information on Yagyu Shinichi was scant, covering just a few fights, but they all clearly showcased his extraordinary strength. The previous three Hidden Dragon List Martial Artists he had met were all defeated with just three slashes.
One of them even had Heavenly Gang Cultivation.
Three slashes isn’t formidable by itself, but the fact that he consistently used three slashes meant that he still had plenty of strength in reserve. No wonder he dared to challenge after hearing of the fight to the death issued by Chen Yuan,
he must feel his strength is extraordinary, not taking Chen Yuan’s threat seriously.
Although not all who are proud are strong, those who dare to be proud must have real confidence in their own abilities. Facing such an opponent, Chen Yuan will not be the slightest bit careless.
People make mistakes, and horses stumble; Chen Yuan had seen such occurrences all too often and naturally would not make the same mistake.
After about a quarter of an hour, Chen Yuan arrived at the Heavenly Patrol Hall. As soon as he entered, Tao Qingyuan looked at him with great seriousness and said:
“You acted impulsively.”
Knowing what he was referring to, Chen Yuan immediately assumed a look of righteous indignation and said solemnly, “…”
