"Who is this guy? What a big mouth."
Quite a few younger generation members had gathered on the mountain peaks. Some were there to take on challenges, but most were just watching from the sidelines.
Some had arrived early and witnessed numerous challenges, but every single one had ended in failure. They already knew that this challenge was no walk in the park — the success rate was absurdly low, so low that not a single person had been seen succeeding.
Chu Feng and the others had all disguised their appearances. Since no one recognized him, seeing such a stranger made them assume he was all talk — far too arrogant.
"You want to challenge me directly?" Zhao Cangjin asked Chu Feng.
"Is no one else besides you willing to accept?" Chu Feng shot back.
Chu Feng's words were met with yet another round of laughter from the Zhao Celestial Clan.
"Hahaha…"
"You've got quite the ego."
"Someone who doesn't know his place. Fine, I'll play with you."
A man from the Zhao Celestial Clan, standing on a lower stone platform, pointed at Chu Feng and shouted provocatively.
But Chu Feng simply waved his hand dismissively. "You? You're not qualified."
"Not qualified? You're merely a rank nine Half-God, and you dare say I'm not qualified?"
As the man spoke, he released his aura — a first-stage True God.
But the moment those words left his mouth, he was immediately met with several cold, piercing glares.
Not from Chu Feng's side, but from the Zhao Celestial Clan.
He had accidentally let it slip.
He had revealed that they already knew Chu Feng's cultivation level in advance.
It was precisely because they had been informed of Chu Feng's cultivation beforehand that they held him in such low regard.
But Chu Feng said nothing about it, showing not the slightest concern. Instead, he continued, "Don't worry about what my cultivation level is."
"I'm challenging all of you now. Do you dare accept?"
As Chu Feng spoke, he flipped his palm, and over a dozen golden stone fragments, each about the size of a fingernail, appeared on his hand.
"Whoa, where did he get resources this good?"
The moment everyone laid eyes on those golden stones, their eyes lit up — including the members of the Zhao Celestial Clan.
The stones in Chu Feng's palm had been fabricated using his formation techniques. Apart from being smaller in size, the quality they displayed was identical to the golden stone that Long Zhuoyan had gifted to Chu Feng.
Such quality was naturally enough to make anyone covetous.
"Where did you get these resources?"
Forget the bystanders — even many of the Zhao Celestial Clan members began asking one after another.
Their manner made it clear they were determined to find out.
It was Zhao Cangjin — the very one who had defeated Wang Qiang earlier — who was the first to catch on. He asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Everyone who comes here wants to obtain some resources from you."
"But I'm not just here for that. You defeated my friend earlier and made him pay a price. I want to get payback on his behalf."
"So let's keep it fair. If you can beat me, these resources are all yours."
"But if you lose, your resources naturally become mine," Chu Feng said.
"I'll play with you."
"Count me in."
Multiple members of the Zhao Celestial Clan stepped forward, some of whom stood on fairly high stone platforms.
But Chu Feng shook his head. "Since I've put up the appropriate stakes, the rules need to change too."
"Who I fight and how I fight — that's my call."
"You, you, you, you, you…"
Chu Feng pointed one after another at thirty people among the hundred from the Zhao Celegment Clan.
Almost everyone was stunned.
Only Wang Qiang, Little Fisher, and Sea Fisher Shaoyu exchanged knowing glances, silently agreeing that Chu Feng was about to cause serious trouble.
"Who exactly do you want to challenge?" a member of the Zhao Celestial Clan asked.
"Isn't it obvious? I want to challenge all thirty of them at once," Chu Feng said.
"You want to fight thirty of us by yourself?"
"Are you doing this just to paint us as sore losers?" Zhao Cangjin said.
"I just don't want to waste time challenging you one by one. It's too much of a hassle."
