Chapter 980: Fishing for Fame and Reputation

Hearing Feng Wuji's voice, which was filled with utter collapse and unwillingness, Feng Lingtian and Gu Tianhai frowned, momentarily unsure of how to respond.

To the side.

Ever since that servant had left, Feng Yichen had been peering toward the back of the crowd.

Suddenly.

Two figures appeared within his field of vision.

The two were one in front and one behind.

The person in front was precisely the servant who had just come to report, and the other person was a young man.

The moment Feng Yichen saw the young man, his eyes instantly lit up.

At the same time.

As if by telepathy, the young man also looked over.

Upon seeing Feng Yichen, the corners of the young man's mouth curled up slightly.

Seeing this, Feng Yichen's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately following, as if thinking of something, he turned his head to look at Feng Wuji and said with righteous indignation, "Uncle Wuji, my aunt doesn't like you at all; she already has someone in her heart, so please stop pestering her."

He spoke in a loud voice.

As he spoke, he cast his gaze unobtrusively into the crowd, as if observing something.

Hearing Feng Yichen's words, Feng Wuji's expression faltered, "Xinran has someone in her heart? Who is it?"

"It's me~"

Before Feng Yichen could speak, a voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Feng Wuji's expression tightened as he looked toward the crowd.

At the same time.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, emerged from the crowd.

Feng Wuji's gaze swept over the Gu Family servant in front, then fixed on the young man behind the servant.

His expression turned unkind.

The young man seemed not to notice the malice in Feng Wuji's gaze, his eyes pausing on Feng Wuji for a moment.

Then, he walked forward on his own, coming straight before Gu Tianhai and Feng Lingtian, and bowed slightly to the two, "Junior Wang Jianqiang, greets Senior Feng and Senior Gu."

Feng Wuji and Gu Tianhai looked at Wang Jianqiang, their faces both filled with astonishment.

Wang Jianqiang's aura was restrained, but he had not used the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map to conceal his aura.

Although it was difficult for other Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators to discern his cultivation, Feng Wuji and Gu Tianhai, as Void Refinement Stage cultivators, saw through his cultivation at a glance.

Early Spirit Transformation Stage!

He had actually already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage!

How long had it been since he joined the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace?

What a fast cultivation speed!

"You are Wang Jianqiang?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's self-introduction, Feng Wuji's expression sank.

He had heard of this name.

Since joining the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, Wang Jianqiang had helped Wenxian City repel powerful enemies from Outside the Realm twice.

His reputation had long since spread throughout the entire Central Continent, and even most regions of this world.

It was rumored that his alchemy was peerless and his combat power formidable.

But...

No matter how formidable his combat power was, he was only a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, a junior.

How dare he be so dismissive of him!

Wang Jianqiang looked at Feng Wuji, "And you are?"

"Feng Wuji," Feng Wuji said coldly.

Wang Jianqiang thought seriously for a moment, a trace of apology flashing across his face, "Sorry, haven't heard of you."

Feng Wuji's expression sank.

"What an arrogant person."

Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from a competition platform.

Wang Jianqiang turned to look, and a young figure appeared in his field of vision.

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's gaze, the provocation on Feng Yi's face grew even more intense, "You, a junior, are so rude when facing a senior; you truly have no upbringing."

"Is this how the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace teaches you?"

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow, "And you are?"

Feng Yi said coldly, "Feng Wuji's son, Feng Yi."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Haven't heard of you either."

"You!"

Feng Yi's expression faltered, then he sneered, "I have long heard that Wang Jianqiang has formidable combat power and is a top genius of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace."

"I, Feng Yi, though untalented, would like to take this opportunity to meet this genius of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace; I wonder if you dare to accept my challenge."

Feng Yi was a late bloomer.

Before the age of one hundred, his talent was mediocre.

After the age of one hundred, his talent finally manifested, and because of this, he missed the chance to join the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

In his view, his talent had simply awakened a bit late, which did not mean he was inferior to the students of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

The so-called top geniuses of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace are not necessarily stronger than him.

The reason Wang Jianqiang has such a great reputation relies only on his alchemy and luck.

As for his strength.

He has absolute confidence that he will not be weaker than the other party.

"Oh?"

Wang Jianqiang's gaze paused for a moment on Feng Yi's confident face, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Are you sure?"

Feng Yi sneered, "Why, are you afraid?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, looking at Gu Tianhai and Feng Lingtian, "Two seniors, I am a guest, so I shouldn't cause extra trouble."

"But since Daoist Friend Feng Yi is so insistent, I will exchange a few moves with Daoist Friend Feng Yi."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words.

Feng Lingtian and Gu Tianhai opened their mouths, both revealing bitter smiles.

Feng Yi's combat power is indeed not bad.

But even if they were at the same level as Wang Jianqiang, I am afraid there would still be a gap.

Not to mention that Wang Jianqiang has now broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage?

Feng Yi is challenging him...

Isn't this just asking to be abused?

However, they do not know Wang Jianqiang's specific personality and dare not rashly intervene.

If this were to cause Wang Jianqiang to have an opinion or incur his hostility, the loss would outweigh the gain.

If one must blame someone, it can only be blamed on Feng Yi being too arrogant.

For the sake of the family's future.

They can only let Feng Yi suffer a little.

From the moment Wang Jianqiang appeared and revealed his identity, the Disciples of the Feng and Gu families present were already in an uproar.

Seeing Feng Yi challenge Wang Jianqiang.

The expressions of the crowd suddenly became even more excited.

They were also very curious about Wang Jianqiang.

They also wanted to see what kind of strength this legendary genius and legendary student of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace truly possessed.

Under the burning gazes of everyone at the scene, Wang Jianqiang's figure flashed and appeared on the arena.

"You do have some guts."

Feng Yi sneered and was the first to rush toward the Stone Stele on the arena, then merged into it.

Wang Jianqiang still wore a faint smile on his face; his figure flickered and he appeared before the Stone Stele.

Spirit Light flashed on the Stone Stele, and his entire person submerged into it.

The next moment.

An image appeared on the Stone Stele, displaying the scene inside the Stele Space.

Inside the Stele Space, two figures stood facing each other.

They were precisely Wang Jianqiang and Feng Yi, who had just entered the Stele Space.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang enter the Stele Space, a fierce look flashed in Feng Yi's eyes, and he struck first.

He slapped his palm out.

Countless wind blades gathered, turning into a large storm that swept across.

Wang Jianqiang was instantly submerged within this Wind Blade Storm.

Seeing this scene.

Wuji felt a sense of pleasure in his heart, yet his face revealed a look of reproach, "Little Yi is too impulsive; he used a killing move as soon as he attacked. Wang Jianqiang is a guest after all; what if something goes wrong?"

Hearing Wuji's words.

Feng Lingtian and Gu Tianhai's expressions both turned strange.

Feng Yichen curled his lips, "Uncle Wuji, Daoist Friend Wang is not as simple as you imagine."

Wuji smiled, "Yichen, you are a Disciple of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, so it is understandable that you are frightened by this Wang Jianqiang."

"But you must remember, having a heart of reverence is a good thing, but if this reverence is too excessive, it is cowardice."

"Rumors are generally prone to exaggeration."

"Sometimes, having a big reputation does not necessarily mean having strong strength."

"This Wang Jianqiang may have decent alchemy, but when it comes to strength, he is merely fishing for fame."
