Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Misjudged
After Yang Fei left, the entire Combat Club venue burst into uproar, noise erupting from all corners.
"Oh my god, how can this kid be so strong?"
"Exactly, I hadn’t seen clearly how Yan Zhongshan was defeated in a second, and now he’s killed several people in a row and even slapped the second young master of the Tong Family. I saw it clearly this time, and it’s just so domineering."
"Damn impressive, if only I were half... no, one-tenth as badass as him, I’d wake up laughing from my sleep."
These were the voices of young Martial Artists.
"Who would have thought that the Martial World would produce such an exceptional prodigy? From which sect does he hail, and who nurtured such an outstanding talent?"
"Indeed, I’ve never heard of him before. How could such a generation-defining talent have remained unknown until now?"
"Truly a dragon among men, it’s a pity he’s so young and prone to breaking. The boy has too much ferocity, too ruthless."
"That’s true, he’s too overbearing in his actions, offending so many powerful forces, which is unwise."
These were the discussions among many of the older generation Martial Artists.
Regardless, Yang Fei achieved his goal with today’s battle.
He made a name for himself in the Divine Continent Martial World with a rather fearsome reputation. From now on, as long as his name Yang Fei was mentioned, it’s believed no one would dare to provoke him easily. As a result, he would face much less trouble.
As for those who wanted to threaten him with his relatives, after the news of today’s events spread, they would have to weigh carefully whether they could endure Yang Fei’s frenzied retribution.
On the chairman’s platform, Du Minghui’s face still showed a color of fright.
It wasn’t until Yang Fei had left that she slowly came back to her senses, her expression complex as she said to Jiang Ziman, "Sect Leader Jiang, did you... did you know the outcome of today beforehand?"
Previously, she was inwardly leaning towards the Yan and Wang Families and even felt annoyed with Yang Fei, but now she felt a wave of relief. Fortunately, Jiang Ziman’s attitude had given her a hint, and when she faced Yang Fei, she didn’t speak any excessive words, not offending the young man.
Jiang Ziman’s heart wasn’t calm either, experiencing turmoil, but upon hearing his subordinate’s voice, he quickly regained his composure, gave a profound smile, and said, "I had warned Yan Zhongshan before, intending to be a peacemaker and dissolve the grudge between both parties, but Yan Zhongshan wouldn’t listen. Now he’s dead, his only somewhat capable son is also dead, and although the Yan Family still has quite a few Martial Artists, they no longer have a figure to lead the banner. From now on, the Yan Family is truly in decline. As for the Wang Family..."
At the end, Jiang Ziman paused for a moment, a hint of unusual light flashing in his eyes, "If the Wang Family still seeks revenge for today’s affairs, it would be breaking the rules of the Life and Death Platform."
Du Minghui’s complexion changed, she exclaimed in surprise, "Squad Leader, do you mean we should use the rules to pressure the Wang Family?"
Jiang Ziman snorted, "It’s not me using the rules to pressure the Wang Family, but as members of the Martial Alliance, it is our duty to uphold the dignity of the Martial Alliance. The Provincial City Wang Family might not be an Ancient Martial Family, but it is an extension of that Wang Family, with a special status in Jiangnan. Now that Wang Xiongying is dead, I fear the family will find it hard to let things rest.
Let’s go, back to the Provincial City. I need to visit Old Master Wang Zhonglin."
At the same time, this incident has also served as a reminder to us and even a warning to all families and sects in the Martial World. After we return, our branch should reflect on how to get these families and sects to strengthen the discipline of their disciples and successors.
Mr. Yang was right, the Martial World is full of those who protect their own. A small matter escalates because parents don’t discipline their children properly, causing more and more killings in the Martial World, a loss of many talents for the Divine Continent Martial World every year. This matter should be taken seriously and acted upon."
Du Minghui looked at Jiang Ziman deeply and nodded, "Yes, I will follow Squad Leader’s orders in all matters."
As the two stood up to leave, Jiang Ziman called for Li Zhengyi.
"Zhengyi, an extraordinary genius has emerged in Binhai, a blessing for the Divine Continent Martial World," Sect Leader Jiang said to Li Zhengyi. "As the Steward of the Martial Alliance in this area, you failed to discover such talent in time. This led to misunderstandings and conflicts with various forces in the Binhai Martial World, resulting in casualties and losses. You bear the fault of oversight."
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans instantly appeared on Li Zhengyi’s forehead, but he didn’t dare to wipe them off. Instead, with a bitter smile and a nod, he said, "Squad Leader, your reprimand is justified. Indeed, it was an oversight on my part."
Sect Leader Jiang looked at him. After a moment, he continued, "Make sure you understand the whole story of this incident, then write a report and submit it to me. Also, in the future, make an effort to maintain a good relationship with Mr. Yang Fei and avoid causing any unnecessary trouble."
"Yes, I will definitely strive to maintain a relationship with Mr. Yang," Li Zhengyi replied, inwardly relieved, as he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Sect Leader Jiang nodded and left with Du Minghui.
Outside the Combat Club, in the parking lot, Zhu Wenjie, invigorated, hurried into his car and took out his mobile phone.
His phone screen displayed several missed call notifications.
Seven calls from his cousin Tong Yunshu, and unbelievably, there were calls from his eldest uncle and fourth uncle as well.
Zhu Wenjie first returned Tong Yunshu’s call.
"Wenjie, how did it go?" Tong Yunshu picked up instantly, the anxious and worried tone in her voice coming through immediately.
Zhu Wenjie noticed something was off with his cousin, but he had no intention of addressing it at the moment. Instead, he excitedly said, "Cousin, Yang Fei is awesome. He defeated Yan Zhongshan in just one move. After that, he powerfully killed Yan Cheng, Wang Xiongying, and another unknown formidable expert. It’s such a pity you weren’t there to see it with your own eyes."
There was an audible sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, followed by an exclamation, "What did you say? Is he really that powerful?"
"Yeah, he’s truly incredible. I think among his peers across the entire Divine Continent Martial World, Yang Fei is now at the peak level. Only the legendary Miss Qin from the Qin Family might overshadow him," Zhu Wenjie said excitedly.
Tong Yunshu knew that Yang Fei was a martial artist and a formidable one at that; she had even considered recruiting him for her own use. Yet, she had not expected Yang Fei to be so formidable.
Defeating Yan Zhongshan of Energy Transformation Fifth Grade in an instant, such strength must belong to someone above the Grandmaster Level.
No wonder Third Grandpa valued him so highly in the past.
What a pity that he is now at odds with the Tong Family, otherwise...
With this thought, determination flitted through Tong Yunshu’s eyes as she said to Zhu Wenjie, "Let’s leave it at that for now, I’m hanging up."
Afterward, she walked out of her room.
Outside the room, two Taoist boys stood guard. Seeing her open the door, they watched her cautiously.
Tong Yunshu angrily said, "I want to see my Third Grandpa."
The two Taoist boys were only responsible for guarding Tong Yunshu; as long as she didn’t attempt to escape, they did not dare restrict her freedom within the Taoist temple. They quickly nodded and escorted her to the place where Tong Yan was in quiet seclusion.
In Tong Yan’s room, Tong Hai was already informed of everything that had happened at the Life and Death Platform in Binhai. He was completely shocked.
It wasn’t just him; even Tong Yan himself had his eyes shining with astonishment, the surprise evident on his face as he repeatedly muttered, "Twenty-three years old, defeating Yan Zhongshan of Energy Transformation Fifth Grade in one move. Such a Realm and combat power, he’s truly a heaven-sent genius, a heaven-sent genius indeed. I have misjudged him before; his potential is far greater than I had imagined."
Tong Hai nodded absently, his expression a complex mix of emotions. Yet, when he thought of his grandson’s death and his second son being publicly slapped, a deep resentment flashed in his eyes.
