Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 149: All Below The First Place Are Garbage (2)

Bai Feng did not look satisfied with the wager. After thinking about it, he said with an unwilling tone, "Fine. I'll let you have this. I suppose you don't have anything else you can wager anyway."

Hu Wensheng indifferently said, "A cultural researcher's strength does not come from his mouth."

"Cut the crap. I never liked you!" Bai Feng sneered and said, "Stop pretending to be a saint in front of me. My chance to enter the secret grotto before this was snatched by you with your scheme. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to stand here all cocky with your ninth-stage cultivation!"

Hu Wensheng did not even try to defend himself. He merely smiled, "That is a fair competition. You can't blame me if you lose the opportunity due to your stupidity."

A few years ago, the two of them had the same cultivation level. A single entry into a secret grotto had brought Hu Wensheng into the seventh-stage while Bai Feng was still stuck at the sixth-stage.

Subsequently, he was able to smoothly reach the ninth-stage. Meanwhile, Bai Feng had only managed to reach the seventh-stage recently. A lot of times, the gap between cultivators would widen due to instances like this.

"True. In that case, let's compete fairly again." Bai Feng smiled and soared into the sky. "Come up here. The ring is too far. Fellow colleagues, I'll have to trouble you guys to defend the residential area. I don't want to break anything and end up paying for it."

"Hahaha. No problem. Fight to your heart's content. We will keep watch."

It didn't take long for someone to answer him. Next, burst after burst of golden light erupted and covered all the villas in the area. Su Yu even saw Zhao Li among the crowd. The old man was standing in one of the nearby villas, enjoying the show with the others.

The old man seemed to have sensed Su Yu's gaze as a golden sword shot over before grabbing Su Yu. And the next instant, Su Yu found himself appearing beside Zhao Li.

Zhao Li laughed and said, "Let's watch the show. Bai Feng versus Hu Wensheng. It has been years since they last fought. Let's see if Bai Feng has any new trump cards today. Without a trump card, why would he dare to challenge Hu Wensheng?"

Su Yu had a lot of questions, but this wasn't the time for it. He could only shut his mouth and looked at the sky in silence. Hu Wensheng had soared into the sky as well.

...

The two hovered opposite each other.

Golden light erupted from Hu Wensheng's body as he started mustering his strength. He believed that Bai Feng wasn't his match, but the two had fought many times before. Bai Feng had lost more times than he had won, but there was no denying that Bai Feng was an extremely difficult opponent.

Sure, Hu Wensheng had a higher cultivation level, but they were still in the same major and minor realms as they were both late-stage Skysoar cultivators. He did not dare to be careless against an opponent like this.

He first protected his body in a golden barrier of light. Then, a sword appeared in his hand. Bai Feng still hovered there without doing anything.

When Hu Wensheng was finished with his preparations, Bai Feng sneered, "A frog at the bottom of the well. Today, I will let you know that the multiple character faction is not something weaklings like you can compare against."

That caused an outburst among the crowd. Bai Feng was incredibly arrogant. One ought to know that the multiple character faction only had a few members in the academy. With those words, Bai Feng had basically insulted the entire academy.

"What? Are you guys unhappy? That is the truth. Are you afraid of facing the truth?"

He then looked at Su Yu and said, "Student, your teacher will teach you something today. In the myriad realms, a genius will always be a genius. As for a weakling, even when given the mask of a genius, a weakling will always be a weakling."

"Go!"

With a roar, more than 10 golden streaks of light shot out of his body. In the blink of an eye, the streaks of light converged together.

"Get out of my face, trash!"

A thundering sound rumbled in the area. With a roar, Hu Wensheng's sword shone brightly. His aura surged as his sword flew forward. But hovering in front of Bai Feng was a powerful golden streak of light that shot straight through Hu Wensheng's sword.

The sword shattered. Hu Wensheng coughed a mouthful of blood and his face paled. Before he could do anything, the golden streak of light arrived and shot through his body. The golden barrier around him shattered. In the blink of an eye, Hu Wensheng was reduced into a bloodied body falling from the sky.

Silence.

The entire world sank into silence.

In the sky, the slightly pale Bai Feng sneered and drifted away in a carefree manner. His voice resounded in the air, "How can weaklings hope to play the game of the strong? Don't forget to pay up. If I wanted to kill you, I could do it with only one move. Trash."

Nobody said anything.

On the ground, Hu Wensheng stared ahead in disbelief.

Silence reigned for a short while.

Then, someone remarked, "Divine Character fusion. He has fused all 18 of his Divine Characters."

"What a guy. He has been stuck below the seventh-stage for quite a while. I thought that he would never be able to catch up to Hu Wensheng anymore, but seems like he has only been spending his time fusing his Divine Characters."

"How terrifying."

"Hu Wensheng is not his match. If Wu Qi can't defeat him as well, Xia Yuwen would be his only match. This fellow...is quite a patient one."

"He's not patient. He simply looks down on Hu Wensheng. As far as he's concerned, only Xia Yuwen is his opponent. Since he can't beat Xia Yuwen, he hasn't bothered to actually compete against the others. But now, he seems to have gained some confidence to do something again."

"A good show is going to unfold."

"True. Xia Yuwen is currently at the Allheaven Battlefield to look for an opportunity to break through into the Cloudbreach Realm. If he returns without breaking through, then the competition between him and Bai Feng would resume."

One person after another spoke. Today, Bai Feng had dazzled all the spectators. With one move, he instantly defeated Hu Wensheng, a ninth-stage Skysoar cultivator. Hu Wensheng was completely helpless before him. Weakling? Genius?

Was Hu Wensheng a weakling? He absolutely wasn't. That could only mean that Bai Feng was a freak. A true freak of nature.

...

Inside Liu Hong's villa.

Liu He was stupefied. His mouth was wide agape and he had a shocked expression. Beside him, Liu Hong had a solemn expression.

"What a guy. That bastard has just been messing around with me all these years!"

He cursed and couldn't help but to frown. If that fellow was so strong, how was he supposed to compete? After that show of force, wasn't it clear that he wouldn't be qualified to compete against Bai Feng before reaching the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm?

"Big Brother...why...why is he so strong?"

Liu He was still in disbelief. That fellow had defeated Hu Wensheng with one move. How was that possible?

Liu Hong solemnly said, "It's fine. He relied on the surprise factor. Hu Wensheng wasn't well-prepared. After that one move, Bai Feng was like an arrow at the end of its flight. If he hasn't left immediately, he would probably end up embarrassing himself after all the big talk."

He took a deep breath and continued, "When experts fight, the number of moves is not important. The result is all that matters. If he fails to defeat Hu Wensheng after that move, he would lose. If Hu Wensheng was aware that he had fused 18 Divine Characters and had prepared accordingly, Bai Feng would have been the one to lose. Therefore, don't overestimate Bai Feng's strength..."

…

Inside Wu Qi's villa.

Wu Qi still looked as indifferent as ever. However, Wu Lan and Ling Qing couldn't stay calm.

Lin Qing asked in disbelief, "Teacher, isn't he still at the seventh-stage?"

Wu Qi calmly said, "A seventh-stage Skysoar is still a late-stage Skysoar. The gap between the seventh and ninth stages isn't that big. Hu Wensheng? A mere weakling. He actually looked down on Bai Feng just because Bai Feng is at the seventh-stage? What a joke."

Wu Lan only had a simple question to ask, "Big Sister, can you beat him?"

Wu Qi glanced at her and smiled, "Would...Bai Feng dare to challenge me?"

Wu Lan blinked in confusion. What did her sister mean?

"He only dares to bully Hu Wensheng. If he had dared to look for me instead...he would be bedridden for half a year after today."

Wu Qi spoke with an indifferent tone, but she was also incomparably arrogant.

"Hu Wensheng..." Disdain covered Wu Qi's face. She turned around and walked away as she said, "Number two in the Top 100 Ranking? What a joke. After Xia Yuwen took first place, the rest of us had simply lost interest in fighting for the so-called second place. The entire Top 100 Ranking no longer mattered to us."

Everyone below the first place was garbage. Since they couldn't defeat Xia Yuwen, what was the point of fighting for the other positions?

...

Su Yu was not paying any attention to all the discussion around him. He was stunned, shocked, dazed, and in disbelief. He was feeling a rush of emotions.

Bai Feng...a genius? No. He was a freak. Someone who had defeated an opponent above his class with one move. In less than three seconds, he had defeated a ninth-stage Skysoar as a seventh-stage Skysoar.

Divine Character fusion. Fusing 18 Divine Characters, he unleashed a terrifyingly powerful attack, crushing Hu Wensheng's attack and defenses. Was that the strength of the multiple character faction? That was really powerful.

Su Yu found himself understanding Bai Feng's words more and more. Even a genius was nothing. Hu Wensheng was praised as the genius teaching assistant of the academy. He ranked second in the Top 100 Ranking. So what? It was no wonder that Bai Feng had been telling him that geniuses meant nothing for him.

Su Yu finally understood why.

He exhaled deeply as excitement grew within his heart. Earlier, he had still been rather unhappy about how Bai Feng was treating him, but now, he only had one thought: Bai Feng had the strength to back his arrogance. Even if he was talented, without actual strength, who was he to gain Bai Feng's approval?

"I want to grow stronger!"

Su Yu took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He wanted to grow stronger, to grow as strong as Bai Feng. With one move, he defeated a genius. Who in the academy, including those Cloudbreach and Mountainsea experts, would dare to say that he wasn't a genius?

How confident and carefree. That was the kind of strength he yearned to have. But since he was that strong, what was up with the pitiful act he put up before the challenge? Su Yu was speechless.
