Chapter 735: Intellectual Domination

In the entire hall, nearly everyone's gaze turned toward He Pingsheng, Wang Dun, and Prince Kongkong.

These three were simply too conspicuous.

Wang Dun and He Pingsheng stood out because they were human.

Prince Kongkong, of the Kongkong Beast clan, was even rarer—some had spent their entire lives without ever seeing one, and they were filled with curiosity.

"What the hell is going on?" Prince Kongkong glared at the two, frustrated: "Aren't you two supposed to be body and avatar? Are you two separate people?"

"Of course!" Wang Dun snapped: "I've told you this a thousand times—I'm Wang Dun, he's He Pingsheng. You've chased me down for years trying to kill me—now do you finally realize you're wrong?"

"Bang…"

Prince Kongkong flew into a rage, slamming his fist onto the table and glaring at He Pingsheng: "You deserve to die!"

He Pingsheng looked at him with innocent confusion, then spread his hands: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean. Where have I wronged you? Why should I die?"

Everyone here is watching.

Prince Kongkong still has pride.

Though everyone secretly does unspeakable things, none dare speak of them openly.

Prince Kongkong took a deep breath, unwilling to engage He Pingsheng further.

But He Pingsheng continued: "Back outside Dalundicheng, you tried to steal my divine pet, failed, and I cut off one of your arms—was that why you decided I deserved to die?"

"Tell me, Your Highness, what did I do wrong in that incident?"

He Pingsheng's actions were entirely justified.

Prince Kongkong couldn't vent his fury, so he spat: "You impersonated Wang Dun's name to trick me?"

"No, no, no…" He Pingsheng quickly waved his hands: "At the time, I was wanted by the Ming Wang of Dalundiyu—I couldn't use my real name, so I borrowed my senior brother Wang Dun's. I used his name, not yours—what does that have to do with you?"

"Fine, fine, fine… it has nothing to do with me!" Prince Kongkong turned sharply toward Wang Dun.

In truth, he had no deep mortal grudge against He Pingsheng.

After all, the man had merely severed one of his arms.

That arm could regenerate in an instant.

Just a superficial wound.

But Wang Dun was different—Wang Dun had killed his true body.

That was a true mortal enmity.

"Why are you staring at me?" Wang Dun glared back, his dark face stern: "You chased me like a rabid dog for years. We had no quarrel—you wanted me dead. So I killed your true body. Was that too much?"

His words sent shockwaves through the hall.

"Holy shit…"

"Who the hell is this guy?"

"Who is this human, Wang Dun?"

"He killed Prince Kongkong's true body?"

"Is this prince really that weak? Got killed by a lowly human?"

"Exactly—Kong Kong Beasts shouldn't be this weak!"

Everyone assumed instinctively that if a Kong Kong Beast was slain by a human, it wasn't because the human was strong—it was because the Beast was weak.

A human?

How could they be strong?

They were the weakest among all great clans!

Even the human Immortal Emperor was a joke.

Prince Kongkong hated He Pingsheng and Wang Dun—but now, understanding the full story, he felt utterly nauseated.

He didn't know who to hate anymore.

Hate He Pingsheng?

He didn't really do anything wrong.

Hate Wang Dun?

Wang Dun had killed his true body, but he'd only acted in self-defense.

This…

At this moment, Prince Kongkong's Dao heart nearly shattered.

"Hey hey hey…" Wang Dun added: "Uh, Your Highness… I have something I'm not sure whether I should say."

Prince Kongkong said: "Speak."

Wang Dun said: "Honestly, neither my junior brother nor I hold any deep grudge against you—but this whole mess? It's all your fault."

"You're too stupid."

"Wang Dun, I'll curse your ancestors!" Prince Kongkong roared: "How dare you insult me?"

"So what if I insult you?" Wang Dun's face brimmed with arrogance: "Call your father, Kong Kong Emperor, out here—I'll insult both of you. See if I dare!"

"I—I—I'm gonna—kill you!"

On the edge of rage, Prince Kongkong could no longer hold back—he unleashed a full-power palm strike at Wang Dun.

Wang Dun didn't dodge.

"Bang…"

The powerful attack slammed fully into Wang Dun.

But!

A shocking sight occurred.

Wang Dun was blasted backward.

Yet he wasn't injured at all.

Instead, the energy and Dao fluctuations from Prince Kongkong's strike nearly tore the hall apart.

Countless cultivators inside were thrown into chaos.

The hall had multiple defensive arrays—layers of light membranes appeared, absorbing and dissipating the force through several waves of transmission.

At that moment, the black-robed Enforcement Team stormed into the hall.

Wang Dun pointed at Prince Kongkong: "This bastard attacked me without cause. I didn't retaliate. I didn't activate any defensive magic treasure. I didn't use any Dao technique or spiritual energy!"

"Everyone saw it—everyone can testify for me!"

"Wang Dun, you deserve to die!"

"You tricked me—I'll fight you to the death! On the battlefield, I'll tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

"You… wait… you fucking wait…"

Cursing wildly, Prince Kongkong was dragged out of the hall by the Enforcement Team.

Staff members quickly brought in new tables and cleaned up the chaos.

A man in black stepped onto the stage and shouted: "All attendees must obey hall rules—no combat, no use of Dao techniques or spiritual power, or you'll lose your chance to attend the meeting!"

Losing the chance to attend the meeting didn't mean losing access to the Stone Platform gathering.

This didn't greatly affect Prince Kongkong.

But after what just happened, nearly everyone in the hall now looked at Wang Dun with new respect.

This man not only had insane combat power—he'd taken Prince Kongkong's full strike with his bare body—but he was also cunning, having outwitted Prince Kongkong until the prince nearly wept.

No wonder the Tengshe Clan valued him.

"Hello!" Nan Qiqi smiled warmly and extended her hand: "You're Wang Dun, right? I'm Nan Qiqi, Sacred Maiden of the Zhu Que Imperial Domain."

"Hehehe…" Wang Dun reached out and lightly shook her hand: "I'm He Pingsheng's good brother. Miss, if you ever need anything, just say the word!"

"I notice your complexion is pale—seems like a qi-blood imbalance. Have you been suffering from severe abdominal pain lately? I know a bit of medicine—perhaps…"
