The Journey to become the supreme god

03. making a decision

“Boy! I've already signed you up, so I don't want to hear any excuses. And right now, I've lost my mind. That's why if you don't show up at the city lord's residence in a month, some things might get spread around the city.” Lu Jian looked at Lu Chen indifferently while threatening him with something frightening.

Lu Chen was only at the first level of body refinement, and his opponents there would definitely be at least at the sixth level or above. How could Lu Chen possibly fight them there? He looked at his uncle again, who had a pleading expression on his face. His uncle's expression made him unhappy. He had never been involved in such a competition, and even though he had a grudge against Cha Yin, Lu Chen would not act if his chances of winning were very low. Of course, the other elders felt that what the clan chief was doing was too forceful. They had never forced Lu Chen to do anything because they were aware of the pain of the young master of the Lu family.

“Try it!”

“No!” Lu Chen immediately turned and walked away from the hall. But his footsteps suddenly stopped when he heard Lu Jian's next words.

"I'll tell you about your parents if you want to leave! Don't you want to find out where your parents are?"

Lu Chen was silent. His footsteps suddenly became very heavy, and his hands clenched into fists after hearing Lu Jian's words. There were two most painful things in his life. One was being betrayed by his fiancée. But there was another thing that had been in his heart since he was a child, and that was his parents. Since he was a child, he had never seen or even recognized his parents' faces. He only knew about his parents' situation from his uncle's stories, but his uncle never explained much about whether they were still alive or not. Hearing his uncle's offer this time certainly made Lu Chen very interested. Lu Chen became a little emotional, but for a moment, he took a deep breath and then continued walking heavily.

“Okay! This time I'll go. But whether I win or lose, you and the others can't complain,” he replied, agreeing with his uncle even though he didn't want to.

"That's great! The event in a month will be a little different because some elders are coming to our city's annual event. So uncle hopes you can perform well, cheer up L...U...C...H...E..N Amuah!" Lu Jian acted like a flirtatious woman.

“Yuck!” All the elders immediately felt nauseous seeing Lu Jian's ridiculous behavior. Even though they were used to this couple acting like that, they still found it a bit strange.

Lu Chen, who was still walking, was speechless. He realized why his uncle was acting silly towards him, which was why he never felt lonely in the Lu family, even though many of the younger generation or some of the elders looked at him with disgust. Lu Chen, who had been a little anxious earlier, felt calmer when he heard his parents, and a smile appeared on his face even though his steps were faster than usual.

“Head of the family, are you really going to send Lu Chen to the competition in a month?” asked one of the Lu family elders, staring seriously at Lu Jian. They all still couldn't believe in Lu Chen, especially since his strength was the weakest, even among the children younger than him.

“Yes, that child needs a little encouragement. That's why the city lord's annual competition is the most suitable for him. And you must know who will be coming to the competition, so try to train our young generation well within this month,” replied Lu Jian, staring seriously at the back of his little nephew. No matter what happened later, he believed that Lu Chen was not the trash that other people thought he was.

“We understand, head of the family.” They all replied without the slightest protest to Li Jian's plan.

In the Cha family, the father and son who had been humiliated by Lu Chen felt extremely furious. They never expected that Lu Chen, a nobody, would dare to play such tricks on them. Although Lu Chen's former fiancée had joined the Diyu Sect, that sect was not a formidable force in the Yuan Kingdom. And the son of the Cha family head himself had only entered as an external disciple of the sect at a high cost.

Cha Yin was very angry and hoped to take cruel revenge on Lu Chen. He remembered that in one month, there would be an annual competition held by the city lord. It was a competition to select representatives from each region who would later take part in the entrance exam for the Blue Palace sect. Compared to the Diyu sect, the Blue Palace sect was one of the major sects that was stronger than the Yuan kingdom. Therefore, the selection process was very strict, and those who passed might also compete with other kingdoms after one city competed with cities in the Yuan kingdom. Three people would represent the Yuan kingdom as participants in the Blue Palace sect. He decided to participate and show his talent to everyone in the city, so that they would all realize that his clan was no match for Cha Yin. The chosen woman from the green city, at that time, would surely take revenge for the humiliation Lu Chen had inflicted on her.

"If you can pass the competition in a month, maybe we can become the number one family in this city. No, in the entire Yuan Kingdom! Hahahahaha," Cha Yong could feel how proud and great the Cha family name would be when his daughter succeeded in becoming a disciple of the Blue Palace Sect.

Cha Yin smiled, thinking about how he would become a disciple of that sect. He would truly become an eagle if he succeeded in entering, and Lu Chen himself would only be a frog in a well when facing him. Thinking about how the Lu family would kneel at her feet made Cha Yin even more excited and impatient to wait another month. Although there were a few people she had to watch out for, with her current strength, it wouldn't be difficult to enter the top three within a month. And with the help of her father and the Cha family, she was confident that she could rise to another level before the competition in the city's arena began. So she asked her father to give her some high-level elixirs and pills.

“Just wait, Lu Chen. I, Cha Yin, will become the brightest woman in this Green City. And when that day comes, I’ll make you regret it!"
