At that moment, everyone present fell silent. No one dared to mock
Whether they were veterans of the older generation or proud talents of the younger, all of them recognized that Wang Qiang was formidable. Even those who might be able to defeat him had no desire to offend him without cause.
In truth, what people feared most wasn't Wang Qiang's personal strength, but rather what kind of power could have cultivated a genius like him.
"Big Brother, and him too."
Just as everyone was growing wary of Wang Qiang, the large fat man suddenly pointed his finger at
"That's right, Big Brother. This kid is incredibly arrogant. I told him to stay away from that stone house, said you'd already claimed it, but not only did he ignore me, he arrogantly told you to come find him and try something." At the same time, the disheveled man chimed in, pointing an accusing finger at Chu Feng.
"Oh... oh crap, young man, you... you've got some serious guts, huh?" Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang shifted his shifty-eyed gaze toward Chu Feng, his eyes brimming with provocation.
At that moment, all eyes followed Wang Qiang's gaze and settled upon Chu Feng. In fact, anticipation was now written all over the faces of the onlookers.
They were eager — eager to see Chu Feng clash with Wang Qiang.
After all, before Wang Qiang had arrived, many had already speculated that Chu Feng was a genius of extraordinary origin. His cultivation at the fifth rank of Martial King hardly represented his true strength.
Of course, even knowing that Chu Feng might be hiding his true capabilities, no one believed that he could defeat Wang Qiang — a seventh rank Martial King — with only the cultivation of a fifth rank Martial King.
And so, what people anticipated wasn't a contest of personal strength between Chu Feng and Wang Qiang. What they truly looked forward to was a collision between the powerful forces backing each of them.
"I won't waste my breath on you. If you want to fight, then come at me."
Chu Feng had already anticipated Wang Qiang's provocation. In truth, Chu Feng was a battle-hungry person himself, and encountering such a formidable peer only made him want to fight all the more.
And so, he stepped directly out of the stone house and rose into midair, fully prepared to engage Wang Qiang in battle.
"Holy crap, you... you, a puny fifth rank Martial King, d-d-d-dare to talk back to me like that? It seems... it seems you really do have some serious guts."
"Believe it or not, I-I-I... I don't even need to move, and I-I-I... can make you hit the ground face-first."
"Heh." Chu Feng didn't bother responding with words. Instead, he simply smiled faintly, gazing at Wang Qiang with that same calm, squinting look.
"Y-you... you're still smiling? I'll make sure you can't smile for much longer." But just then, a cold glint flashed through Wang Qiang's eyes, and a massive wave of oppressive aura swept outward like an invisible hurricane, bearing down on Chu Feng.
In that moment, even Chu Feng couldn't help but furrow his brow, his gaze turning grave.
Facing the oppressive force bearing down on him head-on, Chu Feng could feel it — this Wang Qiang was indeed powerful. At the very least, this level of aura was something his current cultivation would struggle to withstand.
*Zzzzzzap~~~*
Having confirmed his opponent's strength, Chu Feng ceased hiding his own. As lightning crackled and flashed in his eyes, his Thunder Armor and Thunder Wings manifested simultaneously.
With the power of the Divine Thunder unleashed, Chu Feng's cultivation instantly surged by two ranks. Now at the seventh rank of Martial King, why would he have any reason to fear Wang Qiang's petty display of pressure?
With a mere thought from Chu Feng, the space around him began to tremble violently. A visible wave of energy, accompanied by the howling of wind, erupted from within his body and swept outward in all directions.
That was Chu Feng's oppressive aura — a formidable force, so powerful that it was virtually unstoppable. With ease, it shattered Wang Qiang's pressure into nothingness.
