Chapter 969: Challenge from an Admirer

Hearing this voice, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

Jiuyou and Zhou Qingyu exchanged a glance, both revealing a strange expression at the same time.

Zhou Qingyu looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Daniu, you have a nephew?"

Zhou Qingyu had already grown accustomed to the name Wang Daniu; even though she already knew Wang Jianqiang's true name, she still habitually addressed him as Daniu.

After correcting her several times to no avail, he simply let her call him that.

A flash of strangeness also crossed Wang Jianqiang's face, "It seems, there indeed is one."

Under the shade of a tree.

A handsome youth looked at the three figures before him, his face full of wariness.

Among the three people opposite him.

The leading youth had a sturdy build.

After hearing the handsome youth's words, he frowned, "Master Wang and you actually have this kind of relationship?"

After pondering for a moment, he spoke slowly, "Master Wang is not only our senior, but also a hero who once made contributions to this world; naturally, I, Shi, must show respect."

"But..."

"You injured my brother and seized my brother's treasure; this matter cannot just end like this!"

Hearing Shi Hao's words, Feng Yichen secretly lamented in his heart.

This Shi Hao was a New Student who joined the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace thirty years ago, possessing astonishing talent and an extremely fast cultivation speed.

Although the time spent cultivating in the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace was still short, his cultivation had already reached the Fifth-Order Will Stage.

And his combat power was extremely astonishing.

He had even killed Sixth-Order Will-Level Cultivators more than once on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Whether in Wenxian City or the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, his reputation was very great.

Although he was a Sixth-Order Will-Level Cultivator, he was still no match for the other party.

Although he was arrogant, he was not brainless.

Originally, he would not have provoked such a powerful enemy who clearly had the aptitude of a Monster.

But he had not expected.

During an outing, while competing for a treasure with others, he had indirectly offended this person.

Facing this Shi Hao.

His confidence was severely lacking.

That was why he had resorted to the move of bringing up Wang Jianqiang earlier.

"However, I, Shi Hao, cannot fail to give Master Wang some face..."

Just at this moment, Shi Hao's voice came again.

Feng Yichen's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart once more.

Shi Hao looked at Feng Yichen, "Leave behind the treasure you seized from my brother, then apologize to my brother, and this matter will be considered settled."

"Brother Hao, this..."

Hearing Shi Hao's words, among the two people beside him, one revealed an expression of dissatisfaction.

Shi Hao glanced at that person.

That person's expression froze, and he did not dare to continue speaking.

Seeing this, Shi Hao shifted his gaze and looked at Feng Yichen again, "This is already my bottom line; do you agree or not?"

Feng Yichen's expression flickered for a moment, and he gritted his teeth.

With a wave of his palm, a Jade White Small Knife floated out.

"This item is for you."

As he spoke, he moved his intent, and the small knife flew in front of Shi Hao.

Shi Hao put away the small knife and looked at Feng Yichen, "You haven't apologized yet."

Feng Yichen looked at the person behind Shi Hao who had previously shown dissatisfaction, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have seized your treasure."

That person snorted coldly and did not speak.

Shi Hao looked at that person, then nodded to Feng Yichen, "This matter ends here."

"Let's go."

After finishing, he turned and walked backward.

"Brother Hao, he's just someone who hasn't appeared for many years, why be afraid of him."

"Not to mention whether he is still alive, even if he is, if we wait another few decades, Brother Hao, you might not necessarily be weaker than him."

Behind him, the cultivator who had his treasure seized by Feng Yichen said with some unwillingness.

Shi Hao paused his steps and said indifferently, "You underestimate Master Wang too much; although I am confident, I also understand that it is very difficult for me to surpass Master Wang."

"Moreover, Master Wang is a person worthy of respect; I do not want to hear you speak rudely of him again."

The cultivator who had his treasure seized by Feng Yichen's expression froze.

Although he did not continue to speak, looking at his expression, it was clearly visible that he seemed somewhat unconvinced.

Shi Hao shook his head and was just about to continue walking forward.

Suddenly, he saw three figures—one man and two women—walking toward him.

His gaze instantly locked onto that youth, unable to move even half an inch again.

He had always revered the strong.

Although he had never met Wang Jianqiang, through various channels, he had long been familiar with the appearance of this legendary student of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

The moment he saw the young man opposite, he recognized the other's identity.

A flash of reverence, along with a trace of burning fighting spirit, flickered in his eyes.

At the same time.

The two people behind him also saw the three figures walking toward them from the opposite side; their gazes paused on Zhou Qingyu, and a flash of astonishment crossed their eyes.

Immediately following this, the two noticed the change in Shi Hao.

They cautiously sent a voice transmission to Shi Hao, "Brother Hao, what is it? Is there something wrong with these three?"

Hearing their voice transmission, Shi Hao did not respond.

He continued to stare intently at the young man ahead until the three drew near, at which point he spoke in a voice bordering on fanaticism, "Master Wang!"

Hearing the three words spat out from Shi Hao's mouth.

The two companions behind him were stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Their eyes widened.

Master Wang?

Wang Jianqiang!

It couldn't be!

They had just been discussing Wang Jianqiang, and they never expected to run into him the very next moment.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

They looked at Wang Jianqiang and simultaneously swallowed hard.

Their complexions turned somewhat pale.

Regarding this legendary figure, although their previous conversation had been filled with disdain.

When truly facing him, they dared not show the slightest disrespect.

A sense of guilt and the gap in status created a huge pressure in their hearts.

At this moment, it felt as if a giant mountain were pressing down on their chests, making it difficult for them to even breathe.

Hearing the greeting from the person in front, Wang Jianqiang paused his steps.

He looked at the sturdy young man before him, a look of interest appearing on his face.

He could sense a trace of fighting spirit from this young man.

This trace of fighting spirit was extremely pure, not mixed with the slightest bit of disrespect.

On the contrary.

Aside from this fighting spirit.

The look of admiration on the young man's face was also undisguised.

An interesting person.

Wang Jianqiang smiled inwardly and looked at Shi Hao, "New Student?"

Shi Hao nodded, "My name is Shi Hao."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Not bad."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's praise, the light in Shi Hao's eyes instantly became even brighter, and an irrepressible look of excitement appeared on his face.

He had been gifted with unparalleled talent since childhood and grew up amidst endless praise.

He had long since felt nothing toward the praise of ordinary people.

But toward this praise from Wang Jianqiang, which did not sound like praise at all.

He felt endless glory.

Because in his view, this was a form of recognition.

Recognition from a legendary student of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace!

"Master Wang, I want to challenge you."

After the excitement, the fighting spirit in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He knew that he was certainly no match for Master Wang right now, but the opportunity to meet Master Wang was rare, and he did not want to let this chance slip by.
