"Haha, you're still too green."
Looking at the red-haired elder, who now wore an awkward expression on his face, the
"So the Villa Master had already noticed that. No wonder you were so calm through it all," the red-haired elder said.
"Hahaha..."
The Immortal Armament Villa Master did not answer, but simply let out another hearty laugh.
That smug smile of his, however, was practically an admission that the red-haired elder had hit the nail on the head.
"Sigh, as expected of the Villa Master. You have a sharp eye — you could tell just by watching how strong this
"But Villa Master, you really haven't changed that habit of yours. You still love to tease your subordinates and watch them make fools of themselves," the red-haired elder said with a hint of complaint.
He had every right to complain. If the Immortal Armament Villa Master had told him earlier just how powerful Chu Feng's formation arts were, he wouldn't have been fretting over nothing the whole time.
"It looks like the outcome of this year's hunt is all but decided."
"That Chu Xianshuo really drew the short straw, running into this Chu Feng of all years."
Though the red-haired elder feigned sympathy for Chu Xianshuo on his lips, his face was practically beaming with delight — sympathy was the last thing on his mind.
That was only natural. He had always disliked Chu Xianshuo, so naturally he was pleased to see the man defeated by Chu Feng.
That said, Chu Xianshuo really was unlucky. He had won first place in the hunt nine years in a row.
And this year, due to age restrictions, would be his last time participating.
Had he claimed first place again, he would have been the first person in history to achieve ten consecutive victories — a feat without precedent and unlikely to ever be repeated.
It would have been a shining crown jewel on the path of his life.
But just as he was on the verge of cementing that legacy, he had run into Chu Feng.
Everything had fallen apart at the last moment. Truly, that was miserable enough.
With Chu Xianshuo having been defeated by Chu Feng as well, there was no more suspense to this hunt.
Chu Feng had locked in first place without a shadow of a doubt.
It was worth noting that because Chu Feng had suppressed the power of the
The Chu Heavenly Clan had sent such a large contingent of juniors, and every last one of them had returned empty-handed. That was truly humiliating.
But there was nothing they could do about it. After all, who could have predicted they would run into a walking calamity like Chu Feng — someone who answered to no rules and feared no authority?
Chu Feng had already dominated the hunting grounds. If he didn't want them ranking, then they simply wouldn't rank.
Finally, the time limit for the hunt arrived.
The hunting grounds forcibly ejected every person inside.
At that moment, the gates of the hunting grounds began to expand, growing to well over a hundred times their original size.
As blinding radiance poured forth, Chu Feng and the others began to fly out of the hunting grounds one after another.
When Chu Feng emerged from the hunting grounds, a cheer erupted from the crowd.
Soon, more and more people joined in, shouting Chu Feng's name.
Everyone was excited — at long last, someone had ended Chu Xianshuo's undefeated streak.
But what excited them even more was that such a prodigy in formation arts had appeared among the juniors.
This was a glory belonging to the younger generation. How could they not be thrilled?
"All of you, shut your mouths."
"This young master lost, and you're all that happy about it?"
But suddenly, a furious roar rang out, and the earth-shaking cheers came to an abrupt halt.
No one dared to cheer again. Many of the more cowardly onlookers didn't even dare lift their heads.
Some were so terrified that they trembled from head to toe and turned to leave without a second glance.
The reason was simple — the one who had roared was none other than Chu Xianshuo.
At this moment, the blood was gone from his body and his aura had returned to normal.
