Chapter 95: The True Heavenly Talents, Xuanwu Kingdom vs Seventy-Two Wolf Smoke
Chapter 95 – The True Heavenly Talents, Xuanwu Kingdom vs Seventy-Two Wolf Smoke
“Hearing you put it that way, I suppose it is the truth.”
“Then go ahead and fight. Take it outside the courtyard; the space there is wider.”
“Hold on, allow me to make some preparations. Don’t be in a rush to start.”
With that, Chen Changsheng eagerly hurried back into his room.
After Chen Changsheng left, Gongsun Huaiyu looked at Su Tian with a smile and said,
“I hear you and the Young Master come from the same place. I just wonder how much of his strength you actually possess.”
“If you’re too weak, wouldn’t that tarnish the Young Master’s reputation?”
Unfazed by her mockery, Su Tian replied calmly, “The strong are never born that way.”
“Brother Chen’s strength is something I can only look up to, but one day, I will surpass him.”
“And you are merely the first stepping stone on my path.”
“Hehehe!”
Su Tian’s words made Gongsun Huaiyu laugh heartily.
“So little ability, yet such a big mouth.”
“Since you have such grand ambitions, I’ll make sure you can’t get up later, so you won’t embarrass the Young Master tomorrow.”
“I’ll wait for you outside!”
With that, Gongsun Huaiyu skipped away.
Watching her retreating figure, Ye Hensheng scratched his head and said, “Are you really going to fight her?”
“The successor of the Seventy-Two Wolf Smoke definitely won’t be ordinary.”
“If you lose, the reputation of the Xuanwu Kingdom will be gone.”
Hearing Ye Hensheng’s words, Su Tian turned and said, “The reputation of the Xuanwu Kingdom was never built by bullying the weak and fearing the strong.”
“The reputation of the Xuanwu Kingdom was forged by challenging the strong time and time again.”
“When I one day defeat those seemingly invincible enemies, the world will only remember my victories, not my failures.”
“Because this world only cares about results.”
After saying that, Su Tian also turned and walked outside.
“What kind of people are you all?”
“Why are you always thinking about fighting?”
Muttering helplessly, Ye Hensheng also walked out.
After Su Tian was defeated, it would be his turn to step up.
He didn’t particularly like this kind of reckless battle, but that didn’t mean he would admit defeat to anyone.
……
Outside the courtyard.
The confrontation between Su Tian and Gongsun Huaiyu drew a large crowd of onlookers.
This even included the injured members of the Eastern Wasteland Heavenly Talent group.
Although they had been defeated by Su Tian and Ye Hensheng, in their hearts, the two were still the hope of the Eastern Wasteland.
As long as they didn’t fall, the Eastern Wasteland hadn’t lost.
Unlike the tense attitude of the crowd, Chen Changsheng appeared quite relaxed.
A few plates of peanuts and melon seeds, a comfortable reclining chair.
Holding Xiao Hei in his arms and covered with a blanket, he waved his hand leisurely and said,
“Hurry up and fight!”
“I’m already prepared. Why aren’t you starting?”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s urging, Gongsun Huaiyu rolled her eyes gracefully and said,
“Young Master, there are so many of them. What if they gang up on me after I win?”
“Then just knock them all down!”
“If a Heavenly Talent is scared by numbers, then they shouldn’t be called a Heavenly Talent; they should just be called trash.”
Hearing this, Gongsun Huaiyu nodded thoughtfully and said, “The Young Master’s words make a lot of sense!”
“Boom!”
Before her words even finished, Gongsun Huaiyu suddenly attacked Su Tian, and it was a lethal move from the start.
This sudden assault immediately drew angry curses from the onlooking Heavenly Talent group.
They felt Gongsun Huaiyu had no martial virtue, actually using such a cheap trick as a sneak attack.
“Is this what you consider a Heavenly Talent?”
Zuo Jing, her face somewhat pale, frowned and questioned Chen Changsheng.
Faced with this Third Princess’s question, Chen Changsheng cracked a melon seed and said calmly,
“Exactly, this is what I consider a Heavenly Talent.”
“Gongsun Huaiyu is a Heavenly Talent, Su Tian is also a Heavenly Talent, but you all are not.”
“On the battlefield, a slight difference means life or death. How can one afford to be distracted at such a critical moment?”
“From the moment Su Tian issued the challenge, all his attention has been on Gongsun Huaiyu.”
“His focus won’t be affected by any external factors.”
“He’s at a disadvantage not because Gongsun Huaiyu’s sneak attack gave her the upper hand, but entirely because Gongsun Huaiyu is stronger than him.”
Hearing this, Zuo Jing looked around.
Ye Hensheng watched the battle with a grave expression, while other Heavenly Talents stood quietly on high ground observing.
Their eyes were only on their opponents and the fighting spirit, paying no attention to Chen Changsheng’s “unserious” state.
In contrast, the members of the Eastern Wasteland Heavenly Talent group were still discussing Gongsun Huaiyu’s actions and criticizing Chen Changsheng’s behavior.
Seeing all this clearly, a faint disappointment flashed in Zuo Jing’s eyes.
“You’re right. The Eastern Wasteland Heavenly Talent group is indeed a joke.”
“Among everyone, only Ye Hensheng and Brother Su are qualified to participate in this Heavenly Talent Assembly.”
“Hehehe!”
“Knowing shame leads to courage. Understanding your shortcomings is good, but whether you can correct them depends on yourself.”
During the gap in Chen Changsheng and Zuo Jing’s conversation, Gongsun Huaiyu and Su Tian had already exchanged over thirty moves.
After clashing palms, both pulled back a distance.
Gongsun Huaiyu lightly tapped her toes, standing at the highest point of the roof, while Su Tian stood on the ground covered in cracks.
Looking at Su Tian’s trembling right hand, Gongsun Huaiyu playfully pouted and said,
“Little brother, how can you be so ruthless?”
“I’m a girl. Can’t you be a bit more gentle?”
Although Gongsun Huaiyu spoke words of pleading, Su Tian’s heart was filled with fear.
Too strong!
This woman before him was too strong!
Although he was a Heavenly Talent of the Xuanwu Kingdom, he wasn’t a fool who only knew how to cultivate.
Battlefield slaughter, facing powerful experts—Su Tian had experienced most life-and-death situations.
But Su Tian had never felt pressure like this before.
Gongsun Huaiyu’s techniques were almost perfectly refined, with no flaws to be found.
What shocked Su Tian even more was that Gongsun Huaiyu’s physical strength was stronger than his own as a body-refining cultivator specializing in the body.
Cultivation base, experience, state of mind—every aspect was overwhelmingly superior for Gongsun Huaiyu.
In such a situation, Su Tian really couldn’t think of any reason he could win.
At that moment, Chen Changsheng, who had been watching, suddenly started cursing loudly.
“What are you doing? Playing house?”
“You’ve been fighting for so long, and not a drop of blood has been shed. If you don’t want to fight, get back inside!”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s anger, Gongsun Huaiyu also wiped the smile from her face.
“Little brother, the Young Master is angry. I’m going to get serious now!”
Hearing this, Su Tian said coldly, “Then come!”
“Hum!”
“Whoosh—”
A sky full of stars appeared behind Su Tian, while a swaying green lotus manifested behind Gongsun Huaiyu.
Both Heavenly Talents displayed their full strength.
Although Gongsun Huaiyu’s strength was higher than Su Tian’s, facing an opponent who was also a Heavenly Talent, using full strength was a sign of respect for him.
