The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms-Chapter 2542 - 2538: Abandonment of the Team_1

In the end, after a long ponder, he could only shake his head.

The most fundamental problem he had right now was the lack of points. Although he was confident that he could exchange points for even more points, the issue laid in the fact that he didn’t even have a single point at the moment.

That was what caused Yang Chen’s frustration.

Helplessly, he could only make a choice.

First, he had to earn some points through other means, and when he returned with enough points, he could come back to the black market to exchange for more.

With that in mind, Yang Chen had no choice but to retrace his steps and return to the Seven Swords Pavilion.

To earn points through different methods, Yang Chen thought of two ways: one was through tasks, and the other was the Sea of Trials.

As for the Sea of Trials, although his strength had somewhat recovered and he had mastered some powerful Dao techniques, he estimated that he could only break through seven waves and not the eighth.

Since he couldn’t use his Dao incarnation, his current strength seemed far from fully recovered.

Therefore, the best way was to accept tasks.

With this thought, Yang Chen arrived at the Profound Secrets Tower in the Seven Swords Pavilion.

The Profound Secrets Tower was the place where tasks were issued.

Zhang Jiangkun had explained this in detail to Yang Chen, who remembered it clearly. Bounty tasks and announcement tasks were all distributed here.

Most tasks were bounty tasks, with only a few being announcement tasks.

These announcement tasks were prominently hung among the bounty tasks, making them stand out from the crowd.

That’s why there was a sense of feeling when taking on these announcement tasks.

Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to touch these tasks!

For example, now that Yang Chen had arrived at the Profound Secrets Tower of the Seven Swords Pavilion, he saw that most people were only accepting bounty tasks, while very few looked at the announcement tasks.

And so, it was.

After finishing browsing the tasks on the first floor, Yang Chen went up to the second floor.

The difficulty would increase as one went up the floors.

It wasn’t that Yang Chen had high expectations, but the tasks on the first floor had relatively low difficulty and the points that could be gained were not enough to satisfy him at all.

As it was, when Yang Chen arrived on the second floor, he happened to bump into a team of people.

This team consisted of Zhang Jiangkun, Gu Renjie, and others.

As the captain, Gu Renjie was leading the disciples directed by Elder Han and was discussing the announcement tasks.

"This announcement task rewards a total of 100,000 points. With over a dozen of us, we can evenly distribute close to 10,000 points each. The goal is to help the Fishman Tribe kill the Fierce Beast Sea King in the sea area!" Gu Renjie raised the corner of his mouth, "I’ve studied this announcement task for a long time. It’s perfect for our team and very beneficial. What is everyone hesitating for?"

Hearing Gu Renjie’s words, the group nodded, agreeing that he had a point.

"Captain Gu is right."

"Yes, this task is well suited for us."

"Yes... Wait, isn’t that Yang Chen?" someone suddenly said.

This made Luo Renjie’s expression darken.

Seeing Yang Chen, Zhang Jiangkun couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and said, "Captain, Yang Chen’s strength isn’t bad either. Like I told you, he passed the Sixth Wave of the Sea of Trials and is an unparalleled genius. Why don’t we take him with us?"

"Hmph, Zhang Jiangkun, you know nothing. This task can’t have any dead weight. This Yang Chen only passed the Sixth Wave of the Sea of Trials, he’s too weak and not qualified to accompany us. If we take him, he’ll just hold us back!" Gu Renjie said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiangkun’s tone turned bitter.

Indeed, although Yang Chen was outstanding, he had only entered the Seven Swords Pavilion and completed the sixth wave of the Sea of Trials.

In the eyes of many veteran members, this was nothing to brag about.

So, although Yang Chen seemed to have joined in a high-profile manner, in the eyes of most people, he was just a weakling who wasn’t worth mentioning!

Gu Renjie didn’t intend to conceal anything, so Yang Chen heard everything clearly.

He also understood what was going on.

So, Elder Han’s team was planning to go on an announcement task together, but they didn’t invite him because they thought he was too weak.

He found it both amusing and annoying. Since others didn’t invite him, he wouldn’t force himself on them. He chose to ignore them and left directly.

But who would have thought that as he was about to leave, Gu Renjie still had more to say, "Yang Chen, we have a reason for not taking you with us. After all, your current strength is indeed too weak. If you want to follow our team, you should improve your strength first."

"Elder, why waste your breath on him?"

"We aren’t taking him with us, doesn’t he know the reason?"

"Exactly, are announcement tasks something he can take on?"

"Unparalleled genius... so what if he is an unparalleled genius?"

Yang Chen shook his head. These people didn’t invite him, but they still insisted on showing that they had reasons for not doing so. Their attitude was quite ugly.

Yang Chen said, "I understand, you guys go together, and I’ll just choose a few tasks myself."

Hearing this, the Gu Renjie squinted his eyes and sneered, thinking that Yang Chen was not convinced, "Yang Chen, I can understand your feelings of loss after not being taken with us, but there’s no need to be so desperate. Choosing tasks on your own? What makes you think you can do that?"

Yang Chen glanced at him and shrugged, not bothering to say anything!

After all, even if he wanted to reason with them, he couldn’t.

Strength was the ultimate truth.

Seeing that Yang Chen didn’t respond, Gu Renjie said harshly, "This kid is getting a temper. Hmph, he doesn’t know the cruelty within the Seven Swords Pavilion."

"Hahaha, Elder, isn’t that typical for an unparalleled genius? When they come in, they all think they’re extraordinary and look down on the senior members. In the end, who doesn’t end up obedient?"

"Exactly, we’re part of Elder Han’s subordinates, so we can’t be bothered with him. Other people will teach this kid a lesson."

Their discussions made Yang Chen scoff and leave.

These people were truly something.

He never said much, but they turned red-eyed over his status as an unparalleled genius and quickly put a label on him.

His expression remained cold and indifferent, and he didn’t respond, as he was also a subordinate of Elder Han and didn’t want to argue.

Zhang Jiangkun was now caught in a dilemma.

He had always been a kind person, but now he was torn between the team and Yang Chen, unable to make a choice.

After thinking for a while, he chose to follow the team and complete the task, which would undoubtedly earn him many points. Those points were his livelihood, so he chose Gu Renjie over Yang Chen.

Yang Chen noticed this but didn’t say anything, as he couldn’t possibly demand Zhang Jiangkun to abandon Gu Renjie and help a newcomer like him instead.
