Chapter 5: Coming to the Back Mountain at Night
Chapter 5: Coming to the Back Mountain at Night
The atmosphere in the stands was somewhat eerie.
On one side was the sound of Su Wuxian crunching away at sunflower seeds, and on the other side were the Ten Elders exchanging awkward glances.
"Look over there! A fight has broken out!"
Someone shouted, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the area where Feng Baobao was located.
Inside the venue, the trio known as "Tianjin Wei Xiao Taoyuan" were notorious hooligans and thugs, incapable of fighting but number one in disgusting people.
The three men formed a triangular formation, surrounding the seemingly frail and disheveled girl, their faces lewd smiles.
"Hey, this woman looks kind of familiar?"
"Whether they look familiar or not, my brothers are here today..."
Before she could finish her harsh words, Feng Baobao tilted her head and slammed the shovel in her hand onto the ground.
Those large, emotionless eyes stared straight at the three of them, and a few words escaped from their lips:
"Is it you who's going to bury me?"
The moment the character “埋” appeared, it was as if some terrifying switch had been flipped.
"Bao...Bao'er-jie???"
The trio, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly looked as if they had seen a living Yama, their faces instantly turning from rosy to deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down their backs.
Then, amidst the stunned gazes of thousands of spectators,
"Splash! Splash! Splash!"
The three knelt on the ground in perfect unison, their movements so precise it was as if they had rehearsed countless times.
"Sister Bao'er! This is a misunderstanding!"
"That's right! It's a huge misunderstanding! We admit defeat! We're leaving now!"
"Referee! Where's the referee?! Call the loss on us now! Someone's going to get killed if we're not careful!"
The stands erupted in uproar as the three members of the Little Peach Garden group scrambled out of the arena.
"Is this just acting?"
"It's a rigged affair! Absolutely a rigged affair! How can someone kneel down before even fighting!"
On the high platform.
Wang Ai sneered, "Ridiculous! This is utter child's play! Old Celestial Master, is this the contestant you selected? Completely spineless!"
Su Wuxian laughed so hard he shook the melon seed shells off his hand. He pointed in that direction and said to Wang Ai:
"Xiao Wang, you don't know anything."
"That's what aura is. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest form of skill. The murderous aura emanating from that girl is far more potent than even one toe of your two grandsons combined."
Wang Ai's face twitched from the retort, but she didn't dare to talk back. She could only hold her breath and look to the other side.
"Hmph, I think Zhang Chulan's side is the real joke!"
At this moment, the area where Zhang Chulan was located was the focus of the entire event.
Zhang Chulan was wearing a black cloak that he had somehow acquired.
With his back to the other three opponents, his swagger was off the charts.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young person's potential!"
"I am—Zhang Chulan, who will shake the heavens!"
Once that shout was uttered, let alone the opponent...
Even Zhang Zhiwei on the high platform couldn't help but cover his face, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed.
Lu Jin nearly spat out his tea: "Is this kid not quite right in the head?"
Su Wuxian, however, watched with great interest, even commenting, "Although the lines are a bit cringey, the momentum is still there. But this kid's shrewdness is ingrained in his bones."
really.
Faced with three seemingly strong opponents, Zhang Chulan did not make a move, but instead began his "speech".
"Everyone! I don't want to bully you!"
"The three of you must first determine the strongest one before you are qualified to challenge me!"
"Otherwise, once my Qi erupts, you will all be dead!"
Those three opponents actually believed it!
"As expected of the master of the Qi Source Flow, such a powerful aura..."
"Brother, he's right! This kid seems unfathomable; we don't want him to wipe us all out!"
"Shall we practice first?"
So, in front of thousands of onlookers, the three of them started fighting.
They fought so fiercely that everyone was bleeding profusely, and the fight was incredibly close.
And what about Zhang Chulan?
He sat cross-legged on the ground, acting completely pretentious!
Ten minutes later.
The sole victor among the three, the eldest brother, his face covered in blood and panting heavily, stood with difficulty before Zhang Chulan:
"I...I won! Zhang Chulan! Let's fight!"
张楚岚缓缓站起身,斗篷一甩,露出了那张欠揍的笑脸:
"Hehe, you've worked hard, big brother."
"Now it's my turn."
Then, with the opponent already unable to stand, Zhang Chulan went up and unleashed a flurry of wild punches, easily and pleasantly knocking the opponent to the ground.
"The winner is Zhang Chulan!"
The referee's voice trembled as he announced the result.
After a brief silence.
"Whoosh—!"
A deafening roar of curses erupted throughout Longhu Mountain.
"Shameless! Utterly shameless!"
"Shameless! Zhang Chulan! Have you no shame?!"
"Get out! This is cheating! This is fraud!"
Countless mineral water bottles and banana peels rained down on the center of the field.
And what about Zhang Chulan?
Instead of feeling ashamed, he opened his arms wide.
He basked in the overwhelming barrage of insults with obvious enjoyment, as if it were the highest praise he could receive.
On the high platform.
Feng Zhenghao pushed up his glasses, his expression complex: "This...this really is Zhang Huaiyi's grandson? His character is just too..."
"How shameless!" Lu Jin was so angry that his mustache stood on end. "Old Master, how could you stand to watch this?"
Zhang Zhiwei coughed awkwardly twice, just about to explain.
Su Wuxian, who was standing next to him, suddenly started clapping.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
The crisp applause sounded particularly abrupt in the audience of the Ten Elders.
Su Wuxian clapped and laughed heartily, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! That's a truly intelligent person!"
The bigwigs stared at him, completely bewildered.
Su Wuxian's smile faded, and he pointed to the figure standing tall amidst the insults below the stage, saying calmly:
What you see is shamelessness and depravity.
"But what I saw was forbearance and shrewdness."
"He could have easily killed those three people with a single slap using the Golden Light Spell, but he didn't. He chose the easiest and safest way."
Su Wuxian turned to look at Wang Ai and Lü Ci, his eyes filled with meaning:
"In this cannibalistic world of supernatural beings, only those who treat face like a doormat and trample it underfoot can live the longest."
"If that big-eared scoundrel Huaiyi saw this scene, he'd probably laugh himself out of his grave."
"Shameless? Heh, those four words are the highest praise for him."
After Su Wuxian finished speaking, he stood up and clapped the sunflower seed crumbs off his hands.
"Senior brother, I am very satisfied with this first scene."
"Call this kid to the back mountain tonight, I have something to say to him."
"Also," Su Wuxian paused, glancing at Feng Zhenghao, and said in a voice only Feng Zhenghao could hear, "President Feng, invite that kid of yours named Feng Xingtong tonight too."
"Practicing things like summoning spirits and commanding generals incompletely can easily damage your brain. Let me take a look at him."
Feng Zhenghao looked up fiercely, his pupils contracting violently!
incomplete?
How did he know that the Feng family's Spirit Binding and Commanding Generals were incomplete?
This is the Feng family's biggest secret!
Su Wuxian offered no explanation, only leaving behind an enigmatic silhouette as he leisurely strolled away through the passage.
Only a group of bigwigs with different thoughts remained.
And the chants of "Shameless!" still echoed throughout the venue.
