"Merely a human — what right do you have to speak here?" Yaojiao Xueran was furious. As he spoke, an invisible wave of oppressive might swept outward, hurtling toward Chu Feng.
Hum— However, before that oppressive might could even approach Chu Feng, it had already dissipated like smoke, blocked by Chu Feng's own oppressive might.
"Oh my, a Seventh-grade Half-Emperor. Chu Feng, you're stronger than the rumors suggest — even stronger than Yaojiao Tinglei."
"But don't you think that with just this level of cultivation, you can stand against me. If I truly make my move, you won't even know how you died." As Yaojiao Xueran spoke, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes and he strode toward Chu Feng.
However, before he could get close, both Baili Xuankong and Hong Qiang had already risen to their feet, stepping in front of Chu Feng.
"What are you doing? You still want to make a move against me? Let me tell you — this is the Yaojiao Royal Clan. This is not a place where you humans can run wild." Yaojiao Xueran roared.
Seeing this, Chu Feng walked past Baili Xuankong and Hong Qiang and stood face to face with Yaojiao Xueran. "You seem to look down on the Human Race very much?"
"I do look down on the Human Race. In my eyes, you are nothing but a bunch of shameless, despicable trash whose only talent is scheming. What — you disagree?" Yaojiao Xueran said loudly.
"You… do you have anything that would make me bow to you?" Chu Feng let out a contemptuous laugh, looked Yaojiao Xueran up and down, then smiled even more deeply and shook his head in disappointment.
"Disagreeing is fine. Come, let's spar a bit, so I can see just how impressive the Human Race's genius really is."
"But let me tell you — when I, Yaojiao Xueran, make my move, you'll never stand up again." Yaojiao Xueran rolled up his sleeves, looking eager and ready to clash with Chu Feng.
"Though I find you detestable, you are after all a Yaojiao Royal Beast. I was invited here by the Clan Leader, so I should give the Clan Leader some face. That's why I don't want to hurt you. You'd best stop pestering me, or I won't even give the Clan Leader face." As Chu Feng spoke these words, a cold glint flashed through his eyes.
Seeing that cold glint, several figures behind Yaojiao Xueran all trembled. In that instant, as demon beasts, they felt as though they had encountered something to be feared — actually experiencing a deep-seated dread toward Chu Feng from the bottom of their hearts.
Though it seemed incredible, they had genuinely felt it. Only Yaojiao Xueran himself had not noticed the cold gleam in Chu Feng's eyes.
"Oh my, what a big mouth you have. It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Today I must show you the terror of Yaojiao Xueran."
Yaojiao Xueran addressed the guards inside the hall: "Listen well. When I spar with Chu Feng, no matter who gets hurt, you are not to intervene. Likewise, no one else is allowed to interfere. Understood?"
Yaojiao Xueran's words carried a deeper meaning. Though he ostensibly told the Yaojiao Royal Beast guards not to intervene, he actually wanted them to keep watch on Baili Xuankong and Hong Qiang, preventing them from stepping in.
He was determined to teach Chu Feng a proper lesson, and this was the perfect opportunity to display the authority of the future Clan Leader.
After all, no matter what, Chu Feng was the representative of the Human Race's geniuses. Defeating him would be a rare chance to make a name for himself.
"Understood." The guards dared not disobey. They retreated to the sides and, with a tacit understanding, positioned themselves on either side of Baili Xuankong and Hong Qiang — ready to prevent them from making a move.
But Baili Xuankong and Hong Qiang remained unconcerned. They knew that if Chu Feng fought Yaojiao Xueran, there was absolutely no need for them to intervene — because there was no reason to save that Yaojiao Xueran.
Meanwhile, many guards from outside the hall had also filed in, their gazes fixed on Chu Feng and Yaojiao Xueran.
They all wanted to see how the strongest junior of the Yaojiao Royal Beasts — the future Clan Leader — would crush the Human Race's genius.
Especially those of the War Faction among the Yaojiao Royal Beasts, who wore cold smirks as they looked at Chu Feng. They all hoped to see him suffer a devastating defeat.
