âChu Feng? Is this for real? Are you truly Chu Feng?â
Two women and three men instantaneously surrounded Chu Feng, but their eyes were not filled with hostility but awe.
âHe has a huge reputation, but who knows if he is the real deal?â a bearded man scoffed with crossed arms as he arrogantly assessed Chu Feng.
The juniors behind him shared the same arrogant attitude.
The bearded man made his way toward Chu Feng and stopped a distance away. Then, he coldly eyed the two women and three men gathered around Chu Feng.
Intimidated, the two women and three men hurriedly backed away from Chu Feng and took their positions behind the bearded man.
One of the juniors walked forward, gestured to the bearded man, and introduced him, âThis is the strongest junior of our Ouyang Heavenly Clan, Ouyang Kuangfei.â
âAre you here to challenge the Immemorial Massacre Sea?â the bearded man, Ouyang Kuangfei, asked.
âThatâs right,â Chu Feng replied.
âFight with me. Iâll let you in if you win. Otherwise, donât even think about it,â Ouyang Kuangfei said as he released his aura.
He was at rank one True God level.
Chu Feng was just about to respond when Long Chengyu suddenly stepped forward.
âYou arenât worthy of crossing blows with Brother Chu Feng. Youâll have to defeat me first.â
Long Chengyu unleashed his rank one True God level oppressive might.
His tremendous power jolted back the Ouyang Heavenly Clanâs juniors. Only Ouyang Kuangfei was able to stand his ground. If not for Ouyang Kuangfei releasing his oppressive might in time, the Ouyang Heavenly Clanâs juniors might have been sent flying.
This was the might of a True God.
âNot bad. Whatâs your name?â Ouyang Kuangfei finally gave Long Chengyu a proper look.
âHold on. You know Chu Feng but not me? Am I that shabby?â Long Chengyu asked.
Ouyang Kuangfei gave Long Chengyu a good stare, but he simply didnât recognize the latter. Thus, he threw out a random guess, âAre you the Immortal Sea Fish Clanâs Xianhai Shaoyu?â
âUgh. Letâs not waste time on words. Make your move.â
Long Chengyu rolled up his sleeves to teach this ignorant Ancient Eraâs clansman a lesson.
âHold on. Itâs a friendly spar, so letâs lay down some ground rules first. No martial skills, no God Armament, and heavy blows. What do you think?â Ouyang Kuangfei asked.
âThat works with me.â Long Chengyu nodded.
Ouyang Kuangfei glanced at the old man.
Catching his drift, the old man tossed a metal cube out. The metal cube swiftly expanded into a formation space that resembled a metal cage in the center of the hall.
Through the gaps in the metal cage, Chu Feng and the others could look into the formation realm. It had a blue sky, white clouds, huge mountains, and flowing rivers.
âBe my guest,â Ouyang Kuangfei said before stepping into the metal cage.
Long Chengyu followed suit.
Boom!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As soon as the two of them entered the formation realm, two powerful surges of martial power clashed like ferocious tsunamis. With martial skills and weapons forbidden, they could only fight with their raw martial power and bare fists.
They first tried to suppress each other with their martial power, only to realize that it was futile. So, they opted for close-quarter combat instead.
Long Chengyu charged in, and with a quick change in his stance, his leg whipped toward Ouayng Kuangfeiâs right thigh. If this strike landed, Ouyang Kuangfeiâs thigh bone would be shattered into two.
However, Ouyang Kuangfei twisted his waist and executed a roundhouse kick in response. Through that, he was able to dodge Long Chengyuâs attack while counter-attacking at the same time.
Long Chengyu didnât expect the other party to react so quickly. Knowing he didnât have time to dodge, he could only tank the attack with both arms.
Pah!
The formation realm cracked.
The immense force sent Long Chengyu plummeting to the ground.
Ouyang Kuangfei wasnât about to give Long Chengyu a chance to recover. He dove down like a shooting star to chase Long Chengyu.
âDonât hold back! Raise your cultivation as far as possible!â Chu Feng urged.
He could already tell that Long Chengyuâs strength and speed were roughly at the same level as Ouyang Kuangfeiâs, but the latterâs reflexes and close-quarter combat skills were far superior.
Most cultivators of their level focused on mastering their martial skills and weaponry. Very few people would train in barehanded combat as it wasnât practical in a real battle.
Yet, Ouyang Kuangfei was trained in barehanded combat.
He forbade the use of weapons and martial skills under the pretext of a friendly duel, but in truth, these rules only gave him an unfair advantage. If Long Chengyu wanted to win, he would have to either break the rules or catch Ouyang Kuangfei by surprise.
Needless to say, breaking the rules was equivalent to forfeiting the fight, so Long Chengyuâs only option was to catch Ouyang Kuangfei by surprise.
Long Chengyu understood that too.
Upon receiving Chu Fengâs advice, he released a huge burst of dragon aura, swiftly raising his cultivation from rank one True God level to rank four while he was still falling.
Boom!
Long Chengyu crashed into the ground. He hissed in pain, having suffered a heavy blow to his chest.
It was Ouyang Kuangfeiâs doing. He bore the Lightning Armor on his forehead, donned the Lightning Armor, and a pair of massive Lightning Wings flapped behind him. His cultivation had been raised to rank four True God level too.
He had been keeping a close eye on Long Chengyu, and he raised his cultivation as soon as he noticed something was amiss. He was faster than Long Chengyu in that regard, allowing him to clinch the initiative.
However, he didnât press on with the attack. Stopping around ten meters away from Long Chengyu, he said, âYou have lost.â
âHmph!â Long Chengyu harrumphed as he got to his feet and walked away.
He was not a sore loser. Knowing he didnât stand a chance with such rules even if he persisted, he decided to give up.
âBrother, thereâs no need to be disheartened. I might not know your name, but there is no shame in losing to me, for I am the number one junior of the Ouyang Heavenly Clan,â Ouyang Kuangfei said with a delighted grin.
He turned to Chu Feng and said, âItâs your turn. Show me what the strongest junior of the present-era cultivators is capable of.â
Before Chu Feng could say a word, Long Muxi interjected, âYou arenât worthy of challenging Chu Feng. Iâll be your opponent.â
Long Muxi made her way to the metal cage and was about to enter it when someone suddenly grabbed her arm.
It was Little Fishy.
âBig sister, let me do it,â Little Fishy said with a smile.
She stepped into the metal cage before Long Muxi could say a word.
âA miss? Whatâs your name?â Ouyang Kuangfei asked.
Earlier, when Chu Feng and the others revealed their faces, Little Fishyâs appearance had changed too, but she didnât revert to her original appearance. She must have used a treasure to disguise herself, and it was potent enough to deceive even the old man.
Chu Feng and the others understood why she had to do so. She couldnât reveal herself before outsiders, or else word about her survival might start spreading.
âOnly someone who can defeat me is qualified to know my name,â Little Fishy said.
âFine, you have spunk. I like it. But miss, I should warn you that fists and legs have no eyes, so donât cry if you get hurt,â Ouyang Kuangfei said with an arrogant smirk as he rubbed his fist.
Uwa!
Fresh blood and unknown matter spurted out of Ouyang Kuangfeiâs mouth.
Litlte Fishy had flitted forth to smash her little fist into Ouyang Kuangfeiâs abdomen. After landing her attack, she vanished like a specter before returning to her original position.
Ouyang Kuangfei wasnât sent flying, but he lost strength in his legs and collapsed to the ground. He winced in pain, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Even tears were flowing from his eyes.
Little Fishyâs punch must have been extremely painful.
âYou wretchâ¦â
Ouyang Kuangfei wanted to berate Little Fishy for lacking sportsmanship for attacking when he was still unprepared, but he gulped his words back down when he felt Little Fishyâs powerful aura.
Her cultivation had reached rank five True God level.
Even though this was not her base cultivation level, it still impressed Ouyang Kuangfei and everyone else present. Furthermore, the fact that she could land such a heavy blow on Ouyang Kuangfei without sending him flying showed that she was a highly skilled fighter too.
She was a strong adversary indeed.
âWhatâs wrong? Feeling indignant? We can go again,â Little Fishy said.
Ouyang Kuangfei flashed her a crooked smile. He stood up as dignified as possible and wiped off the blood and unknown matter lingering at the corner of his lips. Then, he widened his eyes and roared, âI donât acknowledge this!â
Little Fishy got into stance to launch her next attack.
However, Ouyang Kuangfei pointed his finger at Chu Feng and roared, âChu Feng, I donât acknowledge you! I might have lost to this miss, but youâre the one Iâm challenging! You have to defeat me to prove yourself worthy of entering the Immemorial Massacre Sea!â
The anger in Little Fishyâs eyes intensified.
Just then, a hand fell on Little Fishyâs shoulderâit was Chu Feng. He had entered the metal cage.
âDonât worry. Iâll deal with him.â
Seeing Chu Fengâs confident gaze, Little Fishy chose to step down, though she remained in the metal cage just in case.
Soon, she realized her worry was unfounded.
Chu Feng unleashed a frenzied surge of spirit power, causing dark clouds to gather and lightning to crackle. It was as if the end of the world was nigh.
His spirit power should have been at rank one True Dragon World Spiritist, but the aura he emanated was on par with Little Fishyâs rank five True God level.
âHahâ¦â Ouyang Kuangfei sneered with a crooked smile. He pointed his finger at Chu Feng and declared, âIâd expect no less from Chu Feng. You pass!â
