Chapter 3075: The Confident Chu Feng (1)

The juniors of the Li Heavenly Clan had been watching everything that transpired earlier with the air of spectators enjoying a show.

They had expected there to be more drama to come.

But none of them anticipated that Chu Feng, the very victim of this affair, would not only refrain from seeking immediate revenge against those clansmen who had wronged him — instead, he turned his rhetoric around and pointed the spear directly at them, the true onlookers.

"Chu Feng, son of Chu Xuanyuan."

"I, Li Yan, would very much like to see what kind of ability you actually possess."

At that moment, Li Yan launched himself into the air and landed upon the dueling stage.

The instant his feet touched the ground, his aura erupted. The presence of a Fifth Rank Heavenly Immortal blanketed every inch of the surrounding space.

Everyone could feel the full extent of Li Yan's strength.

"A Fifth Rank Heavenly Immortal?"

"So powerful."

Upon sensing Li Yan's cultivation, many people looked on with astonishment. The juniors of the Great Thousand Upper Realm, in particular, felt a deep sense of shame.

This was the Heavenly Pride Tournament — nearly all of the most outstanding young generation in the entire Great Thousand Upper Realm had gathered here today.

Yet most of them had cultivations that hovered around the True Immortal realm, and the majority hadn't even reached the peak of True Immortal. The fact that Chu Zhiyuan, a mere First Rank Heavenly Immortal, had swept through all the juniors of the Great Thousand Upper Realm spoke volumes about the overall level of their younger generation.

Now look at the juniors of the Li Heavenly Clan. Even an ordinary woman among them was a First Rank Heavenly Immortal.

Moreover, her combat skill was exceedingly refined — her ability to defeat Chu Zhiyuan, the champion of the Heavenly Pride Tournament, was proof enough of her formidable strength.

The next one to step forward, Li Youbin, was a Third Rank Heavenly Immortal.

And now Li Yan, who stood forth at this moment, was even more impressive — a Fifth Rank Heavenly Immortal.

The words spoken earlier by that woman of the Li Heavenly Clan had proven entirely true: among all the Li Heavenly Clan juniors present, she was the weakest. Every other one of them was stronger than she was.

How could Chu Feng possibly contend with someone as powerful as Li Yan?

Though Chu Feng's reputation for possessing monstrous talent had long since spread throughout the Great Thousand Upper Realm, his cultivation at the time had only been Sixth Rank True Immortal.

Even if his cultivation had improved during the time he had been absent, just how far could he have advanced?

Could he truly stand against the Li Heavenly Clan's genius — a Fifth Rank Heavenly Immortal?

Everyone harbored serious doubts.

But no one spoke up. Instead, they watched Chu Feng with worried gazes.

And when they looked at Chu Feng himself, they grew even more perplexed.

He showed not a trace of panic. They couldn't tell whether Chu Feng was simply oblivious to the danger or whether he genuinely had something to fall back on.

"Fifth Rank Heavenly Immortal — is that your true cultivation?" Under the gaze of the crowd, Chu Feng finally spoke.

"It is," Li Yan replied.

"Then may I ask — among the Li Heavenly Clan juniors who came here today, are you the strongest?" Chu Feng asked.

"What is the meaning of that question?" Li Yan's brow furrowed slightly; he caught the undercurrent of hostility in Chu Feng's words.

"If you happen to be the strongest one here today, then I'll fight you. That way, none of you will have come for nothing."

"But if you're not the strongest one here today, I suggest you go back and send the strongest one in your place. That way, we won't waste each other's time, and you won't have to lose face." Chu Feng said.
