"Bow!"
"The Bow Emperor's successor!"
"Could it be that Senior Brother Zhang is the Bow Emperor's successor?!" The thought stunned even Chu Feng.
"The Bow Emperor's successor — that man is the Bow Emperor's successor. But the Bow Emperor's successor just called Chu Feng 'Junior Brother.' Could there be some connection between them?"
At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Tianyi. Not only had they realized who he was, but they also couldn't forget that the Bow Emperor's successor had just addressed Chu Feng in a most familiar manner, calling him Junior Brother.
"Fellow friends, I am the eighth-generation successor of the Bow Emperor — Zhang Tianyi."
"The one you will be facing tomorrow is none other than me. Though we will be crossing swords tomorrow, I am still delighted to have the chance to become friends with all of you." Zhang Tianyi stepped onto the high platform and cupped his fists toward the crowd.
At that moment, everyone greeted him with warm smiles and returned the gesture. Even the proud and arrogant Baili Xinghe did not dare be disrespectful — after all, this was the Bow Emperor's successor.
"Hmph."
However, upon seeing Zhang Tianyi, Leng Yue let out a soft snort. A mocking smile tugged at the corner of her lips before she turned and strode back into her tower.
Though no one else noticed this exchange, Chu Feng caught it clearly.
And he also observed that when Leng Yue let out that cold snort, a flicker of unease crossed Zhang Tianyi's face, along with something special in his eyes.
After greeting everyone, Zhang Tianyi walked over to Chu Feng. With a beaming grin, he patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and said, "Junior Brother Chu Feng, I've finally met you. I trust you've been well."
"Senior Brother Zhang, you've really given me quite the surprise." Chu Feng laughed heartily and pulled Zhang Tianyi into a firm embrace.
A reunion between brothers — no words were needed. All the bond between them was expressed in that single gesture.
"Come, let's talk inside." Chu Feng ushered Zhang Tianyi into the tower.
"As expected — they really are senior and junior brothers. I've long heard that Chu Feng's background was anything but simple, and now I can see it's true."
"Sigh, no wonder that predecessor showed favoritism toward Chu Feng. With a connection like this, how could he not?"
Watching Chu Feng and Zhang Tianyi embrace and enter the tower together, the crowd was filled with even more astonishment. But at the same time, a wave of sympathy for Ximen Feixue swept through them.
Chu Feng had connections like this, yet Ximen Feixue had openly provoked him. That was practically digging his own grave.
By now, Chu Feng and Zhang Tianyi had entered the tower. Sensibly, Lajiao and the others stepped out, giving the two of them space to talk.
"Junior Brother Chu Feng, you've truly astonished me. I already knew your talent was extraordinary, but I never expected you to progress so quickly."
Inside the tower, Zhang Tianyi looked Chu Feng over from head to toe and back again, carefully appraising him. Seeing how robust Chu Feng had become, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Senior Brother Zhang, you're the one who truly shocked me. An eighth-grade Half-Emperor — that's far above me."
Chu Feng was equally delighted. Zhang Tianyi's cultivation had surpassed his own, and he felt not a shred of jealousy — only happiness. As brothers, all he wished was for Zhang Tianyi to grow ever stronger.
"Sigh, don't mention it. I know better than anyone how I got my cultivation. It's not something that can be compared to yours." Zhang Tianyi gave a bitter laugh.
"Senior Brother Zhang, how did you become the Bow Emperor's successor? Weren't you taken in by that blind old man as your master? How on earth did you obtain such an incredible opportunity? Tell me everything." Chu Feng could hardly wait to hear Zhang Tianyi's story.
