Chapter 2461: Chapter 2450: Compete! You Lost!
Wu Ren finished speaking.
Wu Lingyu, Wu Ming, and Wu Gui stepped onto three different platforms in the center of the Martial Training Ground.
Wu Ming’s strength was on par with Wu Lingyu’s, both were at the Late Stage of the Earth God Realm Level Seven.
Ye Chenfeng stood among the crowd without any expression, merely waiting for the selection to end so he could proceed to the Wu family’s headquarters.
Time ticked by slowly.
Occasionally, a Wu family disciple would step up to the challenge, but they all ended up defeated.
Wu Ming, with his slightly sharp-featured face, looked at Wu Gui on another platform, a cold smile forming at the corners of his lips. In this branch of the Wu family, he and Wu Gui never saw eye to eye.
With Wu Lingyu supporting Wu Gui, Wu Ming had suffered many setbacks in the past. He had been waiting for an opportunity to publicly disgrace Wu Gui. Though they were all predetermined participants and couldn’t officially challenge each other, he kept glancing in the direction of Ye Chenfeng.
Someone from the outside Ancient Realm.
Wu Ming was well aware of this identity too.
Since Ye Chenfeng was brought back by Wu Gui, teaching Ye Chenfeng a lesson was like slapping Wu Gui in the face!
Wu Ming’s gaze locked onto Ye Chenfeng and he mockingly said, "You came back with Wu Gui, didn’t you? I heard you’re from the outside Ancient Realm?"
"Now that you’re with Wu Gui, you should count as one of the Wu family, right? Do you dare to come up to the platform and fight me? Let me test your strength. Of course, if you can defeat me, even though you don’t have our Wu family bloodline, I can give up my spot for you."
"Do you dare to come up?"
Wu Lingyu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Wu Gui immediately shouted, his face red and neck bulging, "Wu Ming, stop talking nonsense. Do you think you get to decide things here? The patriarch hasn’t spoken yet!"
Wu Lingyu and Wu Gui both knew of Wu Ming’s combat prowess, at least it wasn’t inferior to Wu Lingyu’s.
Wu Ming quickly bowed to the patriarch Wu Ren, "Patriarch, please grant my request. Since he has joined our Wu family branch, does he lack even this bit of courage? Our branch doesn’t need cowards."
Wu Ming emphasized the word "coward" heavily.
Wu Gui.
Coward.
He was mocking Wu Gui!
Sitting at the head of the Martial Training Ground’s seat, Wu Ren always had his eyes closed, showing little interest in the selection of his branch. He knew today’s selection was just a formality.
Wu Lingyu, Wu Ming, and Wu Gui were the strongest in this branch.
To Wu Ming’s request, the closed-eyed Wu Ren lightly uttered two words, "As you wish."
That meant he agreed to Wu Ming’s request.
With the patriarch’s consent, Wu Ming’s gaze filled with excitement, and he kept an unblinking eye on Ye Chenfeng.
Originally planning to quietly proceed to the Wu family headquarters, Ye Chenfeng now found all eyes fixed on him, a hint of impatience flickering in his gaze.
Things had reached this point.
If he didn’t agree, Wu Ming probably wouldn’t let it go easily, and Wu Gui might also become a joke. He rather liked the chubby Wu Gui.
Given the circumstances.
Ye Chenfeng took a steady step forward.
His current strength had reached the Peak of the Divine King Realm. In this Wu family branch, the strongest was merely Wu Ren at the Early Divine Venerable Realm.
To deal with Wu Ming.
There was no need to reveal his true strength. He only needed to maintain his current strength, and if Wu Ren and the others kept their word, it would be ideal. If not, Ye Chenfeng didn’t mind showing all his power.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Wu Ren sitting at the head position with closed eyes and loudly asked, "I trust you are people who keep their word?"
Wu Ren slowly opened his eyes, seemingly dissatisfied, and grunted coldly, "I always keep my promises."
Upon hearing this.
Ye Chenfeng’s figure immediately appeared on Wu Ming’s platform, his aura still maintained at the Late Stage of the Earth God Realm Level Five.
Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng step onto the platform.
Wu Gui’s face filled with anxiety, and he shouted, "Brother Ye, what are you doing? He’s clearly bullying your strength. You are only at the Late Stage of the Earth God Realm Level Five, while he is at the Late Stage of the Earth God Realm Level Seven. How can you be his opponent? Hurry down, I promise no one will laugh at you."
A great admirer of Wu Lingxiang,
With a personality almost a replica of Wu Lingxiang’s, Wu Lingyu also said, "This is an unfair fight, there’s no need for it to happen."
Neither Wu Gui nor Wu Lingyu believed Ye Chenfeng could defeat Wu Ming. After all, Ye Chenfeng’s strength was just at the Late Stage of the Earth God Realm Level Five, far too much of a disparity.
Not only Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu thought so, but everyone present from this branch of the Wu family shared this sentiment.
Wu Ming ignored Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu’s words, looking at Ye Chenfeng and chuckling, "You’ve got guts, I admit you’re not a coward, but you’re a fool. A fool beyond saving. Do you really think you can defeat me?"
Ye Chenfeng stood expressionless.
He had absolutely no interest in Wu Ming. As a powerful being at the Peak of the Divine King Realm,
Wu Ming seemed nothing more than a weak ant to him.
Not wanting to give Ye Chenfeng a chance to regret, Wu Ming intensified his aura at the Late Stage of the Earth God Realm Level Seven, saying, "You can start, foolish boy. This is my reward to you."
Ye Chenfeng moved.
The aura on him remained at the Late Stage of the Earth God Realm Level Five.
But even at the Late Stage of the Earth God Realm Level Five, all aspects of his strength were beyond Wu Ming’s.
His speed was swift, extremely swift, so much so that Wu Ming couldn’t react in time.
In a blur.
Wu Ming only felt a chill around his neck.
The next second.
His eyes were filled with endless terror, wide open, and he saw only Ye Chenfeng’s hand gripping his neck firmly. With just a bit of force, his neck would undoubtedly be crushed instantly.
His throat was dry to the extreme.
Sweat beads, the size of beans, formed on his forehead, and he held his breath, not daring to inhale.
He stared blankly at the calm Ye Chenfeng in front of him.
The entire Martial Training Ground fell silent.
Sitting at the head position, Wu Ren’s eyes flashed with a glint of light.
Wu Lingyu’s beautiful eyes were also dazed, her mouth slightly agape as she re-evaluated Ye Chenfeng.
Always treating Ye Chenfeng like a younger brother, Wu Gui’s face jiggled with disbelief.
Ye Chenfeng’s calm voice resonated in the air, "You lost!"
He released Wu Ming’s neck and stepped down from the platform.
Wu Ming stood frozen, not daring to make a move. He remained staring blankly at Ye Chenfeng’s departing figure.
...
