"Asura Ghost Tower, what a strange name!" Chu Feng mumbled, feigning confusion.
"This Asura Ghost Tower is no simple matter. It is said to have a history of over ten thousand years, containing hidden treasures. The Spirit World Guild was established here precisely to claim the Asura Ghost Tower for themselves."
"Over this Asura Ghost Tower, the Spirit World Guild and the Spirit Clan have had no shortage of conflicts."
"The most recent clash was a hundred years ago. Back then, both the Spirit World Guild and the Spirit Clan produced a genius talent rarely seen in a millennium."
"Under the leadership of these two geniuses, both the Spirit World Guild and the Spirit Clan reached unprecedented heights of prosperity. At that time, Spirit Province was known as the strongest in the Nine Provinces Continent."
"One day, the genius from the Spirit Clan led all his clansmen to the Spirit World Guild, swearing to retake the Asura Ghost Tower."
"Neither side was willing to yield, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out. Had they fought then, it would have undoubtedly plunged all of Spirit Province into ruin, for the Spirit World Guild and the Spirit Clan were truly too powerful."
"However, to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Spirit World Guild's genius proposed a contest of barrier techniques with the Spirit Clan's genius. The winner would take the Asura Ghost Tower."
"The contest took place in the Twisted Jungle. It is said that on that day, both pushed their barrier techniques to the absolute limit, truly battling until the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light." The speaker gestured animatedly as he recounted the past, as if he had witnessed it all firsthand.
"So, who won in the end?" Chu Feng was curious about the outcome between the two geniuses.
"Sigh, they both lost!" The speaker shook his head with a sigh, his face full of regret.
"Both lost? Were they both severely injured, or was it a draw?" Chu Feng pressed.
"They were both defeated by someone," the speaker said.
"Both defeated? Weren't those two the most powerful geniuses of their time? How could they possibly be defeated?" Chu Feng was also surprised.
According to this young man, both geniuses were incredibly formidable. How could they have been defeated, and how strong was the person who beat them?
"They were indeed defeated by a Spirit World Master who wasn't from Spirit Province. Moreover, that Spirit World Master was even younger than the geniuses of the Spirit World Guild and the Spirit Clan—a genius among geniuses," the young man explained.
"That impressive? What was his name? Does anyone know where he came from?" Chu Feng became curious about this person's identity. To defeat two supreme geniuses single-handedly, he must have been truly powerful.
"No one knows his name, and no one knows where he came from. They only know his cultivation was profound, and his barrier techniques were used with divine mastery."
"However, he had one distinctive feature: he had a pair of pointed ears, red pupils, and a set of sharp teeth."
"Because of his unique appearance, some suspect he was a demon beast. But a demon beast mastering barrier techniques is forbidden, so most people think he just looked rather strange."
"Such a powerful figure couldn't have remained unknown. If he were still alive, he should be a world-famous big shot. How could no one know his name?" Chu Feng found it puzzling.
"You're right. Back then, he single-handedly defeated the two supreme geniuses of the Spirit World Guild and the Spirit Clan, winning control of the Asura Ghost Tower. This act shocked the entire Nine Provinces Continent. Even people from the Jiang Dynasty tried to recruit him and befriend him."
"But unfortunately, shortly after defeating the two geniuses, he disappeared completely and never appeared again. So naturally, no one knows his name. It's all very mysterious."
