Kapitel 14: Chapter 014: The Arena Duel
"Family Head Yang, I advise you and your family to avoid offending anyone during this time. Perhaps this instance is merely a termination of cooperation with you, but next time it might not be so simple," Yu Wanxiong added after taking a few steps.
This was Yu Wanxiong's warning to Yang Qingyun, whether he listened or not was a matter for the Yang family.
"Family Head Yang, please," Zhang Han gestured politely.
"Hmph!" Yang Qingyun sneered, flung his sleeves, turned around, and left, with Yang Yun and the others quickly following behind him.
"Yang Qingyun, for the sake of our many years of friendship, this is all the help I can offer. The trash you've offended is likely someone you won't be able to contend with in your lifetime," Yu Wanxiong sighed to himself.
Yu Wanxiong was no fool; Feng Wuchen's marvelous abilities meant his future achievements would be beyond measure.
Otherwise, Yu Wanxiong wouldn't have been willing to hand over Wanbao Pavilion's business rights to Feng Wuchen.
Of course, this might also be one of Yu Wanxiong's strategies, befriending Feng Wuchen only had advantages and no disadvantages for him.
"Pavilion Master, Feng Wuchen isn't planning on completely destroying the Yang family, is he?" Zhang, the steward, asked in a low voice, feeling a sense of fear even at the mention of Feng Wuchen.
Yu Wanxiong was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know, but given Feng Wuchen's ruthless methods, I'm afraid he won't let the Yang family go. However, the Yang family is not to be trifled with either, so it's uncertain what he will do."
"Terminating the business cooperation might just be the first step," added Yu Wanxiong.
Zhang Han furrowed his brows, puzzled, "Pavilion Master, from what I know of Feng Wuchen, he wasn't so fierce before. Could it be because of Mo Ling'er? Is Feng Wuchen going to target the Mo family?"
"You don't need to worry about that; just know that drawing Feng Wuchen to our side is very beneficial for us. If you want to stay alive, don't ask too many questions," Yu Wanxiong waved his hand dismissively.
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Han nodded repeatedly.
Everyone in the city was talking about it, but nobody knew why Wanbao Pavilion suddenly terminated business with the Yang family, and even the Lin family had done the same.
The only possibility was the Feng family, but was it possible?
The Feng family was on good terms with only the Lin family, and everyone in Unmatched City knew their relationship with Wanbao Pavilion was strained due to the Seven-colored Elixir, so it was impossible for them to turn against the Yang family because of the Feng family.
The Feng family also didn't have the strength to pressure Wanbao Pavilion, so this speculation was dismissed as well.
No matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't figure out the real answer.
...
In the Yang family hall, Yang Qingyun was furiously enraged, sinister murderous aura filling the entire hall, silencing everyone.
"Who in Unmatched City has the power to make Wanbao Pavilion bow? Not the Mo family, not the Lin family, and certainly not the Feng family. Who could it be!" Yang Qingyun roared, his thunderous shout echoing through the Yang residence, terrifying everyone.
"The Mo family has the capability, but we have a good relationship with them, and they have no reason to go against us," Yang Yun shook his head.
"The Feng family is the most suspicious, and since we have already had a fallout with them, I can't think of anyone else, don't forget Feng Qianyang is a Grade One Alchemist," reminded an elder.
"Feng Qianyang!" Yang Qingyun's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Though Feng Qianyang's status as a Grade One Alchemist might not be enough to influence Wanbao Pavilion, he may know other powerful figures. It could also be Feng Wuchen— that wretched boy is only a Grade Two Martial Soul talent, he couldn't possibly have improved by two levels in such a short time," the elder continued.
Yang Yun nodded in agreement, "What Second Elder said is very true, Feng Wuchen has been quite mysterious lately."
As he spoke, Yang Yun's expression suddenly changed, and he speculated, "Wait, could it be Elder Su? Could Feng Wuchen have asked Elder Su to intervene with the matter of dispelling the cold poison? Only Elder Su could make Yu Wanxiong bow down, and from Yu Wanxiong's words, it is evident that he is very wary."
Hearing this, Yang Qingyun's face turned even uglier, as this explanation would make sense.
But if it really was Elder Su, the Yang family wouldn't be able to contend with Tianyan Academy.
The more he thought about it, the more he suspected Feng Wuchen. Yang Qingyun said grimly, "In half a month, let Tian'er slaughter him!"
...
As time passed by with Feng Wuchen's cultivation each day, there were only three days left until his duel with Yang Tian. The anticipation among the people of Unmatched City was immense.
On one side, there was the Yang family's top genius, who had been in seclusion for over a month. Could he step into the Qi Refining Realm?
On the other, there was the Feng family's Grade Two Martial Soul waste, yet he had bizarrely improved by two levels in just a few days, comparable in strength to the Seventh Level, extremely formidable. After so many days, had Feng Wuchen further improved his cultivation?
Anticipation was high for this much-anticipated duel.
In the Feng family courtyard, Feng Wuchen was chatting with Ling Xiaoxiao. After spending this time together, Feng Wuchen had accepted Ling Xiaoxiao as a friend, and their relationship was not bad.
Having interacted for a month, Feng Wuchen had come to understand Ling Xiaoxiao to some extent, but he could never inquire about her origins.
"Feng brother, there are three days left. Are you confident? With Yang Tian's talent, he may have broken through the Qi Refining Realm," Ling Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, her beautiful eyes fixed on Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen smiled relaxedly and said, "I don't know either."
Looking at Ling Xiaoxiao, Feng Wuchen then said, "Xiao Xiao, you haven't been cultivating much lately, yet your cultivation has still improved so quickly. Your talent is quite frightening."
Ling Xiaoxiao chuckled sheepishly and did not respond, seemingly concerned that Feng Wuchen would ask about her past.
"Wuchen!" At that moment, a calling voice came from Xiao Qingqing.
Feng Wuchen turned around to look, and Xiao Qingqing was already approaching. Seeing the two together, her heart leaped with joy.
Xiao Qingqing gave Feng Wuchen a thumbs up, but at first, he was startled, and then, understanding her meaning, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Ling Xiaoxiao seemed to get the gist as well, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn a bit red, as she shyly lowered her head.
"Mom, do you need something?" Feng Wuchen asked.
"Nothing in particular, just came to see how you are. The duel with Yang Tian is in three days, and I'm worried you're not his match," Xiao Qingqing said with a smile.
"If Yang Tian has broken through to the Qi Refining Realm, I might not be his match," Feng Wuchen shrugged and replied with a smile, though he appeared not to be worried.
Xiao Qingqing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly worried as she quickly asked, "Chen Er, what level are you now?"
"Eighth level of the Body Refining Realm," Feng Wuchen replied.
"Eighth level? You've advanced another level in half a month?" Xiao Qingqing was shocked and astounded, hardly able to believe it. Wasn't this speed too frightening?
Was this really the talent of a Second Grade Martial Soul? Even Eighth and Ninth Grade Martial Souls can hardly do this, can they?
Feng Wuchen nodded, and Xiao Qingqing suddenly became excited and said, "That's wonderful! Chen Er, you are a genius! Even more so than Mo Ling'er and the others! Even if you lose to Yang Tian, it doesn't matter. With your talent, you'll surpass him sooner or later! No wonder you didn't want to go to Tianyan Academy."
If Feng Wuchen's rapid advancement was considered good luck before, now there was no more room for doubt.
"Brother Feng is a genius," Ling Xiaoxiao also praised.
Surpassing Yang Tian was only a matter of time, even if Feng Wuchen didn't need Spiritual Liquid to assist in his cultivation, just relying on the Supreme Dragon God Technique was enough to easily outrun Yang Tian.
After a brief chat, Xiao Qingqing left, seemingly to share the good news with Feng Zhengxiong.
The three days passed in a blink, and Feng Wuchen's duel with Yang Tian was today.
All around the arena in Unmatched City, there was a sea of people, nearly everyone from Unmatched City was there, creating quite a buzz.
Yang Tian was already waiting on the platform.
"Yang Tian has indeed broken through to the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, Feng Wuchen is doomed!"
"That's not necessarily true. We don't know what Feng Wuchen's current level is."
"A month's time, even if Feng Wuchen's level has shot up quickly, surely he can't surpass Yang Tian, right? No matter how strong the Body Refining Realm is, it cannot condense True Qi. Yang Tian probably has even mastered martial arts techniques by now."
"The Feng Family Head and the others have arrived, why hasn't Feng Wuchen shown up yet? Could he be scared?"
Down below the platform, the crowd was buzzing with discussion, all anticipating Feng Wuchen's arrival.
"Feng Zhengxiong, hurry and bring out your son!" Yang Qingyun shouted, his face dark with anger.
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhengxiong smiled calmly and said, "Family Head Yang, no need to rush, Chen Er will definitely come."
"I fear he won't show up!" Yang Tian said arrogantly.
"If he were scared, he wouldn't be Feng Wuchen!" A cold snicker came from a nearby street, as everyone's gazes swiftly turned in that direction.
Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao approached together, both handsome and beautiful, a matched pair that elicited unwavering envy.
"Hmph!" Yang Qingyun's malevolent gaze swept towards Feng Wuchen, and in a low voice, he told Yang Tian, "Tian'er, if you get a chance, kill him!"
"Dad, rest assured, if he hasn't broken through to the Qi Refining Realm, he's a dead man! I won't let him off!" Yang Tian said viciously.
Yang Tian, who had entered the Qi Refining Realm, was highly confident in his own strength.
"Feng Wuchen has come!"
"The duel is about to start! I wonder if Young Master Feng's level has broken through?"
"Three levels up in three days, and now a month has passed; he must be even stronger!"
With Feng Wuchen's arrival, the already lively platform became even more vibrant.
A month ago, Feng Wuchen bizarrely advanced two levels within a few days; now, after a month, everyone in Unmatched City was looking forward to his current level.
"This kid seems very confident, but he doesn't have a trace of True Qi about him, clearly he hasn't stepped into the Qi Refining Realm," Mo Kun muttered, not detecting any panic or worry on Feng Wuchen's face.
"Wuchen must be even stronger now," the Lin Family Head said with anticipation.
Because there was no True Qi, no one knew exactly what Feng Wuchen's level was, only after the fight, when they sense the power, would they be able to estimate.
The aura of True Qi emitted by Yang Tian was evident at a glance—he was in the Qi Refining Realm.
"Feng Wuchen, come up here," Yang Tian said with a mocking cold smile, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.
"Chen Er, be careful," Feng Zhengxiong quietly urged, worried Yang Tian might play dirty.
Feng Wuchen nodded, walking onto the platform calmly and unhurriedly.
"Feng Wuchen, you are dead meat!" Yang Tian whispered with a cold smile, looking amused, as if he had Feng Wuchen right where he wanted him.
"I won't kill you, but I will break your legs! I'll turn every descendant of the Yang family into cripples!" Feng Wuchen coldly sneered, his dark eyes flashing viciously.
