On the combat platform, the two brothers faced each other.
Chu Feng's expression was somewhat grim, but Chu Guyu wore a smile.
Neither spoke, as if conveying their emotions through their gazes alone.
Chu Guyu was happy for Chu Feng. At such a young age, Chu Feng had already reached the Spirit Martial 6th Stage — in terms of raw talent alone, he had surpassed him.
Suddenly, Chu Guyu opened his mouth slightly, about to turn and speak to the Chu Family elders below the platform.
"I concede." But when those three words rang out, Chu Guyu's smile froze instantly. Although those were the very words he had been about to say, they had not come from his own lips.
"Brother, you..." Chu Guyu looked at Chu Feng, his eyes filled with reproach. He had wanted to give this opportunity to Chu Feng, but Chu Feng had gotten ahead of him.
Chu Feng's expression had improved considerably. He calmly walked to Chu Guyu's side and smiled. "Don't mind it. I just think that as disciples of the same first-rate sect, you're the better one to face him."
"Beat him. Wash away the shame you and I suffered back then. Crush him and let him know who the true number one of the Chu Family's younger generation is!"
After saying this, Chu Feng strode off the combat platform with ease. But his actions undoubtedly stirred up yet another wave of uproar.
Some believed Chu Feng was being loyal, giving his older brother a chance.
But others felt Chu Feng was simply self-aware — knowing he was no match for either Chu Guyu or Chu Hongfei, and so had chosen to withdraw.
But no matter what outsiders speculated, Chu Guyu understood perfectly well what his brother truly meant.
After Chu Feng conceded, the Clan Competition had reached its final stage. Both at the Spirit Martial 6th Stage and both having joined first-rate sects, Chu Guyu and Chu Hongfei became the final opponents — without any suspense.
And the Clan Competition had arrived at its most thrilling moment. Nearly all eyes were fixed on these two young men. The battle to determine who was the greatest among the Chu Family's younger generation would be fought here.
Whoosh, whoosh.
The two clashed, their dazzling array of martial arts displayed to perfection.
As expected of disciples from first-rate sects, not only were the martial arts they commanded formidable, but their combat skills were also first-rate.
As those brilliant techniques and fierce gusts of wind danced across the combat platform, the two truly put on a visual spectacle.
"Big brother, you have to win."
But while more and more spectators watched with admiration, in Chu Feng's heart, there was only one wish — for Chu Guyu to win.
Because this battle was not just about fame and glory. It represented whether the brand of shame that Chu Hongfei had stamped upon Chu Feng and Chu Guyu all those years ago could finally be erased.
"HAH~"
"BOOM~"
But when Chu Hongfei's devastating punch sent Chu Guyu spitting blood and tumbling off the platform, all of Chu Feng's hopes turned to ash.
"Big brother!"
Chu Feng dashed toward Chu Guyu as if he had lost his mind, terrified that something terrible had happened to his brother.
But when he reached Chu Guyu's side, he found him gazing back quietly, two lines of tears already streaming down his face. In a voice thick with guilt, he said, "Your big brother is useless. I've let you down."
