"You are Zuoqiu Youyu — the former Wolong's First?"
The Wolong's First spoke, and unexpectedly, his voice sounded somewhat aged.
Sizzle— Zuoqiu Youyu did not respond verbally. Instead, lightning erupted from his body and enveloped his Exalted Armament sword.
Seeing that his opponent was powerful, he dared not show even the slightest carelessness. He immediately unleashed an Exalted Forbidden Martial Skill, and moreover, this Exalted Forbidden Martial Skill was of a very high rank.
Whoosh— But in the next instant, the lightning dissipated.
By the time Chu Feng reacted, he found that the Wolong's First — who had originally been lying on the ground — was already on his feet.
Not only had he stood up, but his fist had already landed squarely on Zuoqiu Youyu's abdomen.
Zuoqiu Youyu froze for a moment, then staggered back several steps.
He forced himself to hold his body steady.
But in the end, he could not endure it. His legs went soft, and with a thud, he dropped to one knee.
"This???"
This scene was beyond anyone's imagination.
Could it really be over just like that?
People had not even figured out what cultivation level this Wolong's First possessed.
He had defeated Zuoqiu Youyu without even releasing his aura?
Was it really over?
Zuoqiu Youyu seemed to be thinking the same thing. His face was filled with unwillingness, and he struggled desperately, as though he desperately wanted to stand back up — but his body seemed no longer under his control.
Although everyone could see that he was exerting every ounce of strength, he simply did not have enough power to even get back on his feet.
"You're truly far too weak. Get out of the way."
The Wolong's First walked up to Zuoqiu Youyu, flicked his wide sleeve, and with a single slap sent Zuoqiu Youyu flying to the corner of the battle stage.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded once again.
The current younger generation had been so rich in talent that it was hailed as the most exceptional batch in the entire history of the Wolong Martial Sect.
And Zuoqiu Youyu had always been the strongest among the current younger generation.
He had always stood above the rest, his status extraordinary.
Yet such an existence had been dealt with in this manner by the Wolong's First.
Terrifying — everyone could feel just how terrifying this Wolong's First was.
"Next."
The Wolong's First stood on the stage. Though he wore a mask, people could still feel his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
But beneath that gaze, the area below the stage fell utterly silent.
Even those who had previously written down their names made no move.
"What's wrong? No one dares to challenge?"
"If no one's going to challenge, I'm going back to sleep."
The Wolong's First stretched his arms with a yawn.
Indeed, no one challenged.
Zuoqiu Youyu had been defeated so thoroughly — who would willingly bring suffering upon themselves?
People seemed to have already foreseen that this betrothal meeting was over.
Though they felt it was a pity, what overwhelmed them more was shock.
They had long known that the Wolong's First was no ordinary figure, but they had never imagined he was this powerful.
Even Zuoqiu Youyu had no power to fight back against him.
Most terrifying of all, even now, no one could tell what this Wolong's First's cultivation level truly was.
"I'll do it!!!"
But just when everyone thought it was over, Chu Feng stood up.
"Chu Feng, don't be reckless."
Seeing Chu Feng rise, Xia Yan quickly spoke up to dissuade him.
In truth, it was not just Xia Yan. At that moment, numerous secret voice transmissions entered Chu Feng's ears simultaneously.
Not only the presiding elders, but even Li Muzhi and the others were urging Chu Feng to reconsider.
Challenging an opponent when their strength was unknown was understandable.
Although, at this point, their strength was still unknown, one thing had become abundantly clear — his power was far beyond Zuoqiu Youyu's.
() Facing such an opponent and still stubbornly pressing forward was obviously not a wise move.
But Chu Feng had already made his decision. He could not give up.
He not only stood up but was already walking toward the battle stage. He had beforehand concealed a forbidden medicine in his mouth, and now he was preparing to swallow it.
He could not simply watch as Zi Ling became engaged to someone else. Even knowing that his chances of winning were exceedingly slim, Chu Feng had to try.
"Wait — are you the one who wants to challenge me?"
The Wolong's First looked Chu Feng over and then asked.
"Yes. I am Chu Feng. I wish to challenge."
Chu Feng said.
"No need for a challenge. The position of Wolong's First — I'll give it to you."
Chu Feng said.
"Huh?"
These words stunned not only the bystanders but even Chu Feng himself. He could hardly believe what he had heard.
He would receive the position of Wolong's First without even fighting?
Could such a thing really happen?
"You're saying… we don't have to fight?"
Even Chu Feng was not entirely sure whether he had heard correctly.
"I said, there's no need for a challenge. I don't want to fight you."
"I'm giving you the position of Wolong's First."
The Wolong's First repeated emphatically.
