Chapter 1471

When he was five steps away from the Domain Core, Zi Chen stopped.

During this time, he did not encounter any obstacles or tests, but he was not in a hurry to get the Domain Core.

He stood five steps away and began to feel the power after the breakthrough. While feeling it, he was also waiting for something.

Not long after, another figure appeared on the platform. It was Shuntian City's Shuntian Dao. When he reached the platform, his face was immediately filled with joy. However, when he saw Zi Chen, he was slightly startled.

"You've been here for a long time," Shuntian Dao asked.

"I've also just arrived," Zi Chen said with a smile.

Shuntian Dao looked at Zi Chen and then at the Domain Core. He smiled bitterly and said, "We thought that we would have a better chance with more people. I didn't expect you to be the first to come up. You … were waiting for us."

"It's not considered waiting. I'm just giving everyone a fair chance," Zi Chen said calmly.

Shuntian Dao shook his head, but there was a hint of shame on his face, "It's not fair."

Just as they were talking, another figure appeared on the platform. It was Fortune Teller.

Successfully reaching the top and completing the test was naturally something to be happy about. However, when he saw that two people had already reached the top, he was also startled. He could not feel happy at all.

As soon as Fortune Teller appeared, the figure in the mist also appeared, followed by Jin Qingcheng, who was wearing a suit of armor.

It wasn't long before the four Titled Individuals arrived, but when they saw the scene in front of them, their happy faces were instantly stunned. Then, all of them stood in their original spots with complicated expressions on their faces, not daring to step forward.

Zi Chen was only five steps away from the Domain Core. This distance was nothing to Zi Chen, who had the fastest speed in the world.

However, Zi Chen stood on the spot. There was no need for him to explain. Everyone understood what had happened.

The next person to arrive was Hammer. When he saw the scene on the platform, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Then, he was completely relieved.

As for Wushuang, due to the delay, he did not immediately follow.

Zi Chen glanced at them and said, "Everyone is here. Let's fight to determine the winner and the loser."

Hammer remained indifferent. However, the other four did not show any joy on their faces. Instead, they fell into silence.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Didn't we agree on this earlier?"

Tianming looked up at Zi Chen and said, "Zi Chen, I admit that I can't see through you. I also admit that you're very unique and have your own goals. However, I also feel the same way. The Spiritocentric Core is indeed a good thing and can help us a lot, but if I have to choose between it and honesty, I'll definitely choose the latter. There have been many experts in the history of Destiny City, but they didn't manage to refine the Spiritocentric Core. However, they were able to leave their names in history. I appreciate your kindness, but forget about the competition. Compared to the Spiritocentric Core, I'd rather have a firm heart that belongs to me."

After saying that, Tianming smiled sincerely at Zi Chen and chose to withdraw from the competition.

Seeing this scene, Chong Chui's expression changed. Under such circumstances, there were not many people who could quickly give up on the allure of the Tong Ling Domain Core.

From this, one could see Tianming's character.

After Tianming finished speaking, Shuntian Dao nodded in agreement. He said, "If it's not mine, it's not mine. If we continue to compete, we will lose our sense of propriety and our natural cultivation heart. I, Shuntian Dao, accept your kindness, but forget about the Spiritocentric Core. I, Shuntian Dao, will definitely make friends with you."

Zi Chen looked at the two with a relaxed smile on his face.

Hidden Mist laughed and said, "The two of you have already said all the good things. What else do you want me to say? Since we're talking about making friends, Zi Chen, I'll definitely make friends with you. If we can leave the Manor Realm alive, I'll invite you to Hidden Mist City as a guest."

Hidden Mist also gave up on this opportunity.

Zi Chen said with a smile, "I'll definitely go if there's a chance."

When it was Jin Qingcheng's turn, she also smiled and said, "Forget it. Since you guys aren't fighting, a little girl like me naturally won't fight anymore. As for being friends … If you want to be friends with me, you have to withstand a huge amount of pressure. I don't know if you can withstand the pressure."

Jin Qingcheng winked at Zi Chen. Her eyes lit up, and she looked extremely flirtatious.

That was what the others thought. However, to Zi Chen, she was rather cute.

Before Zi Chen could answer, a beam of light shot toward the Spiritocentric Core.

Zi Chen maintained the faint smile on his face as he threw a punch. He had already noticed all the changes.

"Boom!"

Energy surged and thunder rumbled. The space before him was drowned in lightning.

The silhouette swayed and retreated. It did not pass through the lightning.

That was so unexpected that the people could not react at all. When they did, the silhouette had already been forced to retreat.

The silhouette appeared. It was the Beast Tamer Ye Ming.

When they saw the Beast Tamer Ye Ming, they had a look of disdain on their faces.

The Spiritocentric Core was indeed a good thing. However, if one obtained it through such means, even if they could be strong for a while, they were destined to have no great achievements in the future.

Ye Ming gave them a good impression at first. However, after what happened after Zi Chen's arrival, they became more and more disappointed in Ye Ming.

They were extremely disappointed in Ye Ming. Then, the three of them looked at Jin Qingcheng meaningfully.

Zi Chen looked at Ye Ming. His faint smile faded, and a look of disdain appeared on his face. If he was afraid of Ye Ming before, Zi Chen no longer cared about Ye Ming after he completed the test on the mountain peak.

"Ye Ming, why is it you?" Jin Qingcheng's pretty face had a look of anger.

She had just told Zi Chen that she would not touch the Spiritocentric Core. She did not expect Ye Ming to rush out right after that. Moreover, he did it secretly.

Not only did he hurt her reputation, but he also humiliated Golden Leaf City.

"Why not me? The Spiritocentric Core can only be obtained by those who are fated. Moreover, it depends on one's ability."

Ye Ming looked at Zi Chen and said with a cold smile, "Don't think that everyone is stupid. You're the only smart one. Let me tell you, it's impossible for you to get the Spiritocentric Core with such petty tricks."

Zi Chen looked at Ye Ming. He did not even bother to answer him. He merely smirked in mockery.

Ye Ming's eyes flashed past the Spiritocentric Core. Greed appeared in his eyes. He looked at Zi Chen again and said, "Didn't you want to give me a slot? Great, I'll take the slot."

Zi Chen glanced at Ye Ming and said, "A slot? Who do you think you are? How dare you ask for a slot from me?"

"I'm from Golden Leaf City. Of course, my identity is nobler than you from Huping City," Ye Ming said coldly.

Zi Chen smirked and said, "This is the Domain Realm. Stop acting like a young master. In my eyes, other than friends, there are only the living and the dead. Right now, you're still alive in my eyes. If you continue to act recklessly, you'll be dead."

"Dead? You sure talk big. Then let me see what a mere Corporeal Realm cultivator like you can do to me."

Ye Ming's eyes were filled with anger. Clearly, he had reached his limit in the process of reaching the top. He was very confident in his combat strength.

"Enough, Ye Ming. Come back quickly," Jin Qingcheng shouted coldly.

Ye Ming turned around and said to Jin Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, did you see that? This kid is doing it on purpose. He thinks that you're all fools. He already knew that you wouldn't want the Spiritocentric Core. That's why he said he would give you a slot. He's toying with you. Look, I'm here now. Why doesn't he give me the slot?"

The others heard this and subconsciously covered their foreheads with their hands. Jin Qingcheng was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Clearly, Ye Ming was blinded by greed. He didn't think before speaking.

Why would Zi Chen give you a slot?

Do you know him that well?

Hammer, who had been silent all this while, coughed softly and said, "Zi Chen can get the Spiritocentric Core easily. He gives you a chance because he respects you. Of course, other than respect, he also admires you. As for you … You're not close to Zi Chen and you've lost to him. Why should he give you a slot?"

Hammer's words clearly didn't give Ye Ming any face, but it also reminded him. Although he was humiliated, Ye Ming was sharp enough to notice something. He was no longer agitated. Instead, he smiled and said, "If that's the case, that's great. Jin Qingcheng is my fiancée. After we get back, we'll get married. Naturally, her things will be mine. Therefore, I'll take the slot you gave her."

Zi Chen's mouth opened slightly when he heard this. He seemed a little surprised. At the same time, he looked at Jin Qingcheng.

Jin Qingcheng blushed and gritted her teeth. She wanted to tear Ye Ming apart. In her life, she had never been as embarrassed as she was today.

Especially when faced with Zi Chen's surprised gaze and the other three people's gazes, Jin Qingcheng felt even more ashamed.

"Haha, Zi Chen, look at your expression. You must be very shocked. You must be regretting giving her a slot."

Ye Ming laughed proudly. In the ears of the others, it was as if Ye Ming had obtained the Spiritocentric Core.

Fortune Teller looked at the proud Ye Ming and then at the blushing Jin Qingcheng. He shook his head and said, "You're not compatible. You didn't look like a good match in the past. After spending some time together, I feel that you're even more incompatible. Beauty Jin, when you get out of here, you should find a chance to leave. The gap between you two is too big."

Shun Tiandao nodded and said, "I agree. Indeed, you're not compatible. One is a phoenix in the sky, while the other is a dog in the ground. You're not compatible."

Hidden Mist also smiled and said, "Of course you're not compatible. Look at Zi Chen. That shocked and disbelieving expression. Look at those eyes. Look at how bitter they are. I think he must be very sad to hear this news now."

Facing the teasing of the three people, Jin Qingcheng felt even more ashamed. Then, she secretly glanced at Zi Chen. As expected, she found that Zi Chen's expression was not right.
