I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

Chu Yang scoffed, "Are you afraid I'll back down at the last minute? Trying to provoke me? Heh, you're overthinking it!"

As he finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and was about to turn around when he felt a strong killing intent coming from behind him.

He turned around abruptly and saw a burly man behind Chu Song wearing a hideous Shura mask who had just lowered his head.

Chu Yang frowned slightly, but in an instant he seemed to have thought of something.

He didn't linger and turned around to take out the special assessment token that Lü Wenguang had given him.

"My assessment number is 9527!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the countdown for the assessment on the big screen reached zero.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Everyone knows Chu Song's identity; he's from the Chu family in the capital.

As soon as this guy 9527 arrived, he not only beat up Chu Song's beautiful attendant, but also made her kneel down and kowtow.

What's even more puzzling is that Chu Song simply ignored it and stood by and watched.

Everyone speculated that this 9527 must be from a top-tier aristocratic family.

Chu Yang then went to the waiting area and kicked Guo Zhenyue's shin, saying, "Move over a bit!"

Guo Zhenyue flew into a rage, "You brat! How dare you..."

"What's wrong? Craving a bullet again?"

After saying that, Chu Yang kicked him again.

Guo Zhenyue was also afraid that Chu Yang would reveal the embarrassing thing that happened last night, so he quickly moved several seats further inside.

Chu Yang sat casually next to Feng Shiniang, whose gaze was shifting.

"You old hag, what are you looking at?"

Feng Shiniang's delicate eyebrows twitched a few times, and her beautiful, amorous eyes, like autumn water, almost popped out of their sockets.

Hearing Chu Yang's voice just now gave her a strange feeling of unease, but she didn't know that Chu Yang had already left Longyuan, and she was still comforting herself that she was overthinking it.

"what……"

Before she could speak, Chu Yang said calmly, "Restore your demeanor as the Palace Master! You can decide what to do yourself!"

After saying this, Chu Yang got up and continued walking forward, leaving Feng Shiniang looking bewildered and her heart pounding.

As Chu Yang passed in front of Guo Zhenyue, Guo Zhenyue quickly withdrew his leg, not wanting to have any further entanglement with Chu Yang before the assessment, and only waiting to go onto the arena to brutally kill Chu Yang.

But Chu Yang kicked him in the shin.

"Don't push your luck!" Guo Zhenyue roared angrily.

Chu Yang glanced at him sideways. "Heh, you want me to tell you about last night?"

Enraged, Guo Zhenyue leaped onto the empty stands.

If we can't afford to offend them now, we can always avoid them.

Chu Yang approached Ai Qiandao, who was nodding to him in greeting.

"Not only are you eyeing my wife, but you also want to compete with me for the position of undercover agent?"

He was somewhat surprised to sense Ai Qiandao's aura just now, not expecting that the Ai family's influence in the Northern Frontier had expanded to the East China Sea.

Ai Qiandao shook his finger, narrowed his eyes, and when he spoke, his voice became exactly the same as Chu Yang's.

"No, no, no! I'm going to take much more than just these things from you. Oh, I have a surprise for you today. But don't be impatient, once we're in the ring, I'll show you the significance of this surprise."

Chu Yang smiled and said, "Those who give me surprises always end up giving themselves a shock."

At this moment, Qian Shunkai stood up and said, "9527, now come up on stage to sign the life-or-death waiver."

Just as Chu Yang floated to the judges' table, Ai Qiandao sent a message to Liang Feiyan.

Your daughter needs to take her medicine!

After quickly reading the life-or-death agreement, Chu Yang signed and affixed his fingerprint.

Qian Shunkai cleared his throat. "Today's assessment will be conducted in a challenge format. The defender will earn one point for each successful challenge. Everyone will have one chance to defend their title. The person with the highest final score will be selected as the East Sea Dragon Shadow Investigator."

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Everyone thought the four of them would be divided into groups by drawing lots for the assessment, but they didn't expect this kind of rule.

If this rule is followed, the first person to defend their title will be at a significant disadvantage regardless of whether they win or lose.

Qian Shunkai looked at Guo Zhenyue, "Number one in the top tier, do you have any objections?"

"No!"

As he spoke, Qian Shunkai could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth beneath his mask.

Chu Yang blinked in surprise: "Your numbering system is way too random, isn't it?"

Their number sounds impressive, "Number One in the Heavenly Realm".

Listen to your own voice again, "9527".

Qian Shunkai ignored Chu Yang and looked at Feng Shiniang: "Number One in the Earth Rank, what about you?"

Feng Shiniang's heart was churning with turmoil, but on the surface she remained extremely calm, lazily spreading her hands: "I don't care!"

Qian Shunkai looked at Ai Qian and said, "Xuan-character number one, what do you say?"

While trimming his nails, Ai Qiandao said nonchalantly, "I'm definitely not the first one to defend the title. It has nothing to do with me. Go ask someone else!"

As soon as these words were spoken, some people who reacted a little faster immediately turned their attention to "9527".

Based on the current situation, "Tiandixuan" should be treated the same way.

This guy named "9527," who sounds like an oddball, is definitely the unlucky one who will be the first to defend his title.

Qian Shun said cheerfully, "Since no one has any objections..."

"Wait a moment!"

Chu Yang gestured with his hand in an annoyed tone, "You haven't asked me yet."

Before Qian Shunkai could speak, Liu Zonglin sneered, "The three of them agree. Even if you disagree, this matter cannot be changed."

Li Xuance glanced sideways at Chu Yang and sneered, "Who do you think you are? If you don't want to participate, get out now!"

Chu Yang knew that none of the judges would side with him, but he didn't expect them to be so blatant.

"Alright! I agree. But who will be the first to defend the title..."

Before Chu Yang could finish asking how the first person to defend the title would be chosen, Qian Shunkai slammed his hand on the table.

"Since 9527 has volunteered, let's not compete with him. I hereby announce that 9527 is the first to defend his title. The remaining three shall draw lots to determine the order of attack."

Chu Yang laughed in exasperation: "You guys really have no shame!"

Qian Shunkai smirked and said mockingly, "What? You don't even have this much courage, yet you want to be an undercover agent? You can get lost, no one's stopping you!"

Chu Yang smiled and spread his hands, "I don't care!"

On the stands, even though she used her inner energy to clear the blockages, Watanabe Chinatsu's cheeks were still slightly swollen, and she clenched her teeth.

Chu Song smiled and said, "Xinyan, you were more composed and wise than your peers even when you were young, which is why I believe you will definitely achieve something in the future. Why do you get flustered whenever Chu Yang is involved?"

"I...I didn't!"

A strange look flashed across Chinatsu Watanabe's face.

"That heartless bastard, taking advantage of his status as the young master of the Chu family, tried to take advantage of me. If you hadn't appeared in time, that bastard would have succeeded back then. I will never forget this."

Chu Song smiled and nodded: "We two get along so well, so let's skip the formalities. Once Chu Yang is dead, there will be no one in Donghai to cause trouble and sabotage our cooperation."

Chinatsu Watanabe clenched her fists, her gaze towards the stage practically spitting fire.

"It's a pity I can't kill him with my own hands!"

Two elderly men deep inside the stands were no longer calm.

Hua Chengguang nudged Xiao Zhantian with his elbow, looking worried: "You...you better say something!"

Xiao Zhantian was also unsure of himself, but seeing that Chu Yang seemed very confident, he pretended to be calm and pressed his hand down.

"You're good in every way, except your mental fortitude is too weak. I've seen it all in all these years of battlefield combat! Xiao Yang will definitely be fine! Anyone who dares to hurt him, I'll give the order, and no matter what kind of bullshit peak they are, we'll just shoot them to death with a Gatling gun!"

Hua Chengguang was so angry that his chest heaved and his beard twitched.

"That's a top-tier grandmaster! How old is Xiao Yang? Even if he started cultivating from the womb, he couldn't possibly be a match for him! Let me tell you, if anything happens to my grandson-in-law, I'll never forgive you!"

At this point, the order of attack had been determined, and Chu Yang had already stepped onto the stage.

Guo Zhenyue leaped onto the stage, shouting, "Hey! You little brat, you've insulted me time and time again. Didn't expect this, did you?"

His gray robe billowed without wind, and a chilling, terrifying pressure exploded out!

The arena beneath their feet cracked under the immense pressure, the air distorted by the materialized aura, forming visible vortexes.

Beneath the demon mask, two terrifying beams of blood-red light shot from his eyes, fixed intently on Chu Yang. His hoarse voice, filled with boundless hatred, said, "You brat, don't you like making others kneel? Now, kneel down before me."

The entire training hall seemed to be dragged into the underworld, and even the light was swallowed up by the powerful energy, making it dim and lifeless.

The people in the surrounding stands suddenly felt that even breathing had become difficult.

"My God! This masked man challenging the champion is actually a Grandmaster of the Opening Meridians stage?!"

"No! I've seen Grandmasters who have opened their meridians fight, and none of them possessed such power! This... could this be a peak Grandmaster?!"

Everyone was stunned.

"No way? I heard that the highest level of the previous secret inspectors of the East Sea was only the late Grandmaster stage. It seems that this old man with the masked face is bound to win today! Our Dragon Shadow Guards of the East Sea are going to have to improve their strength even further!"

"Yes! This is a blessing for our East China Sea. It's just a pity for that 9527; I think he was an exceptionally talented person, what a waste!"
