"Tianyi." Zhang Tianyi's father glanced at Zhang Tianyi, his gaze making it clear he did not want his son speaking out of turn.
"Father, Chu Feng is my brother. I cannot sit by and watch others slander his name without doing anything about it."
"Besides, I'm only telling the truth." Zhang Tianyi said stubbornly.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianyi's father said nothing more.
"Huh? The Bow Emperor's successor and Chu Feng are brothers?"
"Chu Feng actually has a connection like this?"
"If that's the case, then it really is true that Chu Feng defeated Leng Yue?" The crowd erupted in astonishment once more.
"How is that possible? Leng Yue is an Eight-and-a-Half Step Martial Emperor. What right does Chu Feng have to defeat her?" The people from the Heavenly Dao Palace refused to believe it.
"If you don't believe it, go ask Leng Yue yourself how it turned out." Chu Feng stepped out from within the tower.
"It's Chu Feng, it's Chu Feng!"
"A Seven-and-a-Half Step Martial Emperor? Chu Feng is actually a Seven-and-a-Half Step Martial Emperor?"
"Wasn't it said that when Chu Feng fought Ximen Feixue before, he was only a Three-and-a-Half Step Martial Emperor? How did he reach the Seven-and-a-Half Step in such a short time?" The crowd was stunned when they saw Chu Feng.
The people of the four great clans were especially alarmed, each of them furrowing their brows as unease settled deeper into their hearts.
At this moment, even the previously easygoing Patriarchs of the Beitang and Dongfang clans had their brows tightly knit. They were finally realizing just how terrifying Chu Feng was.
His speed of advancement was simply too fast.
And now, with Leng Yue looking so grim while Chu Feng appeared perfectly at ease, even without Leng Yue saying a word, people could guess that she had indeed lost to Chu Feng.
This only made them marvel all the more at Chu Feng's strength.
But the four great Emperor Clans were worried about more than just that. They had already prepared a foolproof plan, swearing to eliminate Chu Feng right here and now.
What they did not know was that the Bow Emperor's successor was Chu Feng's brother. The successor alone was not much to worry about—he was, after all, just a junior—but as for the strength of that middle-aged man, they had no idea.
What they could be certain of was that if that man were to take action, it would give them a tremendous headache.
"I hereby announce that the Martial Continent's Strongest Young Generation Tournament officially begins!" At that moment, Zhang Tianyi's father made the announcement.
The moment those words left his lips, all eyes turned toward the dueling platform. Although Leng Yue and Chu Feng could no longer participate, the remaining juniors were no ordinary fighters. This would still be a spectacular battle.
…………
……
…
The tournament lasted a full two days, two nights, and three hours. The final result was more or less what one would expect.
With the two formidable opponents Leng Yue and Chu Feng out of the running, Zhang Tianyi successfully claimed first place and earned the title of Strongest Young Generation. The others… fell to him one after another.
Worthy of special mention was Zhang Tianyi's bout against the Mad Prison Envoy from the Hell's Court, which could only be described as spectacular in the extreme—a fight that left spectators lingering, unwilling to look away.
Though Zhang Tianyi ultimately emerged victorious, the Hell's Court Mad Prison Envoy's strength was recognized and acknowledged by all.
However, when the announcement came that Zhang Tianyi had won the title of Strongest Young Generation, people could not help but cast glances toward Leng Yue and Chu Feng.
Leng Yue and Chu Feng had not fought, and the juniors of the Ancient Realm Elves had not appeared either. So even though Zhang Tianyi's strength was acknowledged, people still felt that his title of Strongest Young Generation was not entirely deserved.
As for Yan Xie, because his opponents had been far too strong this time, although his results were not the worst, they were far from ideal either.
