Chapter 170: Prodigy

The person who came was Helmsman Chu Bo of the General Stop-Goe Academy.

He had a handsome face and was a famous beautiful man in Datong Prefecture when he was young, romantic and suave.

But his current temperament is too gloomy, destroying that romantic air.

Ever since his only son died, Chu Bo has never had a carefree state of mind again.

Behind Chu Bo followed a young man carrying a blade; looking at his attire, he is a Registered Martial Master of the Stop-Goe Academy.

Being able to become a Registered Martial Master at such a young age shows that the man is also a martial arts genius.

After the two walked into the mourning hall, Zhang Zongming and others also walked in quickly.

They actually wanted to stop Chu Bo and the two from entering before, but unfortunately, they couldn't stop them.

"You are Zhang Zongyang's little daughter?"

After Chu Bo finished looking at Zhang Zongyang's portrait, he then looked at Shangguan Xiao and asked.

Shangguan Xiao met Chu Bo's gaze and did not answer the other party's question, saying coldly:

"If you truly want to pay respects, come up and pay your respects. If you are here to fight, come out of this door, and I will accompany you!"

Although she came to pay respects to Zhang Zongyang in a personal capacity today, it does not mean she will ignore the Zhang family.

Protecting the Zhang family was the thing her father cared about most during his lifetime, and it was also the thing she promised the other party but hadn't been able to do yet.

Now, in front of Zhang Zongyang's spirit tablet, as long as it involves the Zhang family, she will not retreat even half a step!

Her words made the atmosphere in the mourning hall instantly become tense, and the expressions of the Zhang family members present were different.

In the current Zhang family, only Shangguan Xiao dares to speak to Chu Bo like this.

"Hahahahaha—"

Chu Bo laughed upon hearing this, his laughter like a surging flood, spreading throughout the entire Zhang Mansion!

After laughing, he swept a glance at Zhang Zongming and others around, sneering:

"Your Zhang family truly has no one left, having to let someone with the surname Shangguan stand up for you."

These words made the expressions of Zhang Zongming and others become extremely ugly.

"Chu..."

Zhang Zedong stepped forward and was about to speak.

But Chu Bo threw a glance over, actually like an invisible heavy hammer, heavily hammering on Zhang Zedong's heart and mind, making him feel as if struck by lightning, and the words he was about to say were also interrupted.

He let out a muffled groan, and his face turned white.

"Heart-Mind Hammer!"

Li Fei narrowed his eyes, and this name appeared in his mind.

This is a killer move created by Chu Bo combining extraordinary abilities.

He has an extraordinary ability to urge the power of a martial artist's heart and mind to form a mental deterrent, like an enhanced version of "using momentum to suppress people."

Combining this extraordinary ability with his own fist intent, Chu Bo finally created this style of "Heart-Mind Hammer."

This move is similar to an art, but its effect against martial artists is even stronger than an art.

Stopping Zhang Zedong from speaking with just one glance, Chu Bo turned his head and looked at Shangguan Xiao with a contemptuous gaze:

"The words you said would be more appropriate if said by your senior brother. You, no!"

After speaking, he did not wait for Shangguan Xiao to respond and immediately said again:

"Oh, I forgot. Your senior brother was crippled back then; nowadays he is mostly a cripple, not even daring to return to Datong Prefecture. It seems you cannot count on him."

Swish—

Shangguan Xiao stepped forward, and a cold murderous intent erupted from her body.

Just as she was about to take action directly, a figure blocked in front of her.

It was Li Fei!

Li Fei looked at Chu Bo with a calm gaze, saying word by word:

"Your Excellency opened your mouth to insult my Master; forgive me for not being able to endure it."

Chu Bo looked at Li Fei with a playful gaze: "You cannot endure it, so what?"

Li Fei raised his hand and pointed at the Registered Martial Master who followed Chu Bo into the mourning hall:

"If I am not mistaken, you should also be from the Chu family, right?"

This Registered Martial Master carrying a blade met Li Fei's gaze and said:

"Chu family, Chu Yu."

He is Chu Bo's nephew and also the leader of the younger generation of the Chu family nowadays.

After his only son died, Chu Bo cultivated Chu Yu wholeheartedly, counting on the other party to support the Chu family in the future.

Li Fei smiled, and while smiling, he said in an equally contemptuous tone:

"On this occasion today, it is fine for your uncle to come here and be arrogant, but how do you have the guts to follow?"

Chu Yu narrowed his eyes, and before he could speak, Li Fei suddenly shouted loudly:

"Besides your uncle, everyone else in the Chu family is trash; do you also have the face to come to the Zhang family and show off?!"

These words made the smile on Chu Bo's face disappear.

He looked at Li Fei with a cold gaze:

"What did you say? Say it again!"

As the words fell, an invisible force instantly smashed onto Li Fei.

Heart-Mind Hammer activated again!

This move is formless and qualityless, arriving in an instant, making it impossible to guard against.

For Chu Bo to take action against a junior like Li Fei in his capacity is truly somewhat lacking in rules.

But he is here to step on people today, not to talk about rules, so naturally, he will do whatever is comfortable and whatever is domineering.

However, Zhang Zedong, who was at the peak of the Qi Transformation period, was hit by a "Heart-Mind Hammer," his heart and mind shook violently, almost making a fool of himself on the spot.

Li Fei, who had just broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Transformation, was hit by this "Heart-Mind Hammer," but his expression did not change at all.

He even stepped forward, looking directly at Chu Bo:

"Say it again, so what? I said these words, and your Chu family must accept it!"

Chu Bo looked at Li Fei in surprise, not expecting Li Fei to be able to take his "Heart-Mind Hammer" unscathed.

The reason he chose to take action directly was because he was unable to refute Li Fei's words.

Nowadays, Li Fei is already a recognized peerless prodigy; let alone the Chu family, even looking at the entire Great Lan Dynasty, there are not many people in the younger generation who can compare with him!

"Is this the arrogance of a peerless prodigy?"

Zhang Zedong looked at Li Fei, who was facing Chu Bo directly, and his mood was very complex.

He is almost sixty years old this year, having practiced martial arts for fifty years, and is now just a Force-Refining Martial Master.

Looking at Li Fei, he has been practicing martial arts for less than two years and is already a Force-Refining Martial Master.

Comparing like this, Li Fei's "trash" definitely includes him, Zhang Zedong.

Not just Zhang Zedong, every young person of the Zhang family present was blushing!

Although they knew Li Fei was not targeting them, they still had a feeling:

I am not targeting anyone; I mean that everyone present is garbage.

However, Li Fei's words were not finished yet.

He did not wait for Chu Bo to speak and continued:

"In five years, let alone the rest of the Chu family, even you will be trash in front of me!"

"..."

The entire mourning hall was quiet.

Even Shangguan Xiao was shocked by Li Fei's words.

It is fine to say the rest of the Chu family is trash, but Chu Bo is a veteran Dao Foundation powerhouse who has been famous for a long time and has a chance to impact a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

For such a person, Li Fei actually dared to say the other party is trash?!

"Good, good, good!!"

Chu Bo laughed out of extreme anger, and the gaze he looked at Li Fei with was already full of murderous intent.

"Uncle!"

Chu Yu, who had been standing behind Chu Bo, finally couldn't hold it anymore and stepped forward, saying to Chu Bo:

"This person insulted my Chu family; I cannot endure it. Please allow me to fight him!"

He was also a student at Wu Da, graduated from Wu Da after six years, entered the General Stop-Goe Academy, and is now at the late stage of Qi Transformation.

At Wu Da, he also received the best education.

After graduation, he has always received Chu Bo's guidance.

Although his talent is indeed not as good as a prodigy like Li Fei, his current realm is higher than Li Fei's, and he has rich practical combat experience; he believes he will not lose to someone who just broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Transformation a few days ago.

In his view, Li Fei might not even have practiced how to operate force well; what does he have to win against him?

Chu Bo looked at his nephew who was asking to fight and did not rush to agree to the other party.

He looked at Li Fei:

"For the sake of Wu Da, you insulted this Helmsman just now; I can spare your life. But if you want to stand up for the Zhang family today, it won't be that easy!"

He is not a young man like Chu Yu; although he is angry, he is not impulsive.

The purpose of coming today is to step on the Zhang family, and to fight a fight with an outsider like Li Fei—even if he wins, what loss can the Zhang family have?

So he will not easily agree to this battle.

"Does Helmsman Chu mean to add a stake?"

Li Fei asked with a smile.

Then he did not wait for Chu Bo to speak and said to himself:

"How about this: besides you, if anyone from the Chu family can knock me down today, from now on I will join your Chu family and be a guest of your Chu family!"

Whoosh—

These words caused an uproar at the scene.

"Little sister!"

Zhang Zedong couldn't help but shout at Shangguan Xiao, wanting to have her stop Li Fei immediately.

But Shangguan Xiao was unmoved, instead with a smile on her face, quietly watching Li Fei perform.

The entire Chu family has only one Dao Foundation powerhouse, Chu Bo; the rest, including guests, do not have a second Dao Foundation powerhouse.

In such a situation, what does Shangguan Xiao have to worry about?

She even feels a little sympathetic to Chu Bo now, because the other party doesn't know at all what kind of monster he has provoked!

"From now on, be a guest of my Chu family?"

Chu Bo stared fixedly at Li Fei's eyes.

Even with his composure, he was moved by these words.

Now Li Fei has clearly stated that he wants to help his martial aunt, and Shangguan Xiao cannot ignore the Zhang family either.

In this way, with an extra peerless prodigy helping, the Zhang family might truly have a chance to survive.

If Li Fei can be recruited as a guest, let alone the future, at least for now, this can cut off the Zhang family's last line of survival!

"Correct, if I lose, from now on I will be a guest of your Chu family."

Li Fei said loudly, "But if you lose this round today?"

Chu Bo smiled: "What do you want?"

"Then please have Helmsman Chu bring all members of the Chu family to keep vigil here for three days!"

Li Fei pointed at Zhang Zongyang's portrait behind him.

Shangguan Xiao's body trembled, and the Zhang family members present were all moved!

What does the Zhang family lack most nowadays?

Is it money? Is it resources?

Neither.

What the Zhang family lacks most nowadays is prestige.

If the Zhang family's arch-enemy, the Chu family, all come to keep vigil for Zhang Zongyang for three days, such a thing will spread, and the prestige that the Zhang family has fallen during this period will at least return by more than half!

Those who are in a hurry to break ties with the Zhang family, or those who are in a hurry to kick the Zhang family when they are down, will all have to weigh it again.

Chu Bo fell silent.

He was weighing the pros and cons, judging Li Fei's quality, and thinking about the winning percentage of this matter.

"Uncle, let me fight him! I will definitely win!"

Chu Yu couldn't wait anymore.

"..."

Chu Bo was silent for a moment, and finally made a decision.

Words had already reached this point today; if he didn't dare to take it, the Chu family's prestige would also be greatly reduced.

Furthermore, what Li Fei said just now was that as long as someone from the Chu family can defeat him today, it counts.

This means it can be a wheel battle!

Thus, Chu Bo looked at Li Fei and said in a deep voice:

"Change to another place to fight."

A smile appeared on Li Fei's face:

"Good!"
