870 Taihu Territory! (1/2)

Somewhere at a lakeside, a middle-aged man around 40 plus years old was holding a fishing rod and fishing leisurely. Behind him, a young man approached quietly.

”Master, I am here.”

That young man stood still.

Boom!

That middle-aged man waved his fishing rod with a hand, causing an explosion on the entire lake's surface. However, there was no sight of a single fish. That middle-aged man helplessly pouted his mouth, ”Fishing is so much more difficult than boiling water. This method doesn't suit me. The next time I come here, I should bring a net along. What do you say, Wan Cheng?”

”...”

Wan Cheng closed his eyes to ponder, pretending not to hear him.

This man who fished was none other than Wan Cheng's master, a dignified world esper, Yan Tianyu.

”Forget about it. This activity is too demanding.”

Yan Tianyu threw the fishing rod on the ground and shattered it. The corner of Wan Cheng's mouth twitched. Of course it would be difficult! Who uses Rule Force when fishing? He could still recall the time when his master caught a shark; when he pulled it up, the shark got divided into two before it came out from the surface...

Such a pitiful way to die.

”Have you completed all the preparations?” Yan Tianyu suddenly asked.

”Yes.” Wan Cheng replied.

”Owh, Taihu Territory...”

Yan Tianyu was being quite emotional. When Wan Cheng broke through into the domain realm, he had been considering this matter. Sure enough, Wan Cheng lived up to his expectations. In such a short time, he broke into the peak domain realm and even reached the stage of great success. As long as he is able to condense Rule Force, that would be sufficient for him to enter the world realm!

This was simply a gifted disciple.

Yan Tianyu felt a bit emotional.

In the past, to improve his strength, he had to work so hard for it. Even if he was lucky and became a first-generation esper, it still cost him quite a bit to become a world esper. As for Wan Cheng? Each step of his formed an imprint. Forget about his foundation; the so-called bottleneck was completely ineffective to him.

This is a true peerless genius.

”Do you have the confidence?” Yan Tianyu asked.

”50%.” Wan Cheng was being concise as usual.

Yan Tianyu's heart skipped a beat. 50% wasn't as simple as it sounded. For a peak domain esper, who would dare to attempt stepping into the world realm with only a 50% chance? As for Wan Cheng, not only did he say it casually, he looked very calm. Regarding this attitude, Yan Tianyu could only look up to as a master.

”Now this is my disciple!” Yan Tianyu laughed, ”After entering the world realm, you are destined to be a legend. Since the top ten families have fallen, all sorts of geniuses followed suit. In this generation of geniuses, you're the unchallenged king!”

”Nope.” Wan Cheng shook his head slightly.

”En?” Yan Tianyu raised an eyebrow, ”Is there anyone that can be compared to you?”

”Su Hao.” Wan Cheng replied as a touch of light flashed within his eyes.

”Su Hao?”

Yan Tianyu froze for a second. Of course he had an impression of this name. Su Hao was the champion of the college entrance exam. Thus, any ordinary person would remember his name as he kept maintaining his glory, each step of his stunned everyone. When he confronted the Tian family, his action shocked them even more.

This was a genius without a doubt.

But...

Heaven is jealous of talent, and Su Hao didn't manage to walk till the end. Although he is now the Clan Head of the Su family, in everyone's eyes, it's akin to a title for retirement. With the top ten families fallen, the Su family was destined to become an ordinary family. A crippled Su Hao, what could he accomplish?

”A shame he is a cripple.” Yan Tianyu said emotionally, ”If he didn't get crippled, he would be a definite formidable opponent.”

”He won't give up like this.” A rare smile appeared on Wan Cheng's face, ”I believe in him. If his talent returns, he will definitely catch up with me as fast as possible and challenge me!”

”Well, wait till his talent returns first, and we will talk about it. As far as I know, I haven't heard of an ability talent returning after being wasted.”

Yan Tianyu twitched his lips. He was somewhat dissatisfied with his disciple being humble. However, he was well aware that his disciple is one with a sincere character. Sighing for a second, he continued, ”You are one more step away from entering the world realm. This one step seems small, but you two will then be in a different plane.”

”Taihu Territory, that will be your stage to shine.” Yan Tianyu's eyes sparked with a glimmer of light, ”Only by taking the first step can you proceed on your journey. I don't want you to be forced to quit as soon as you enter. After all, this is a rare opportunity that won't come for several years!”

”Yes.” Wan Cheng nodded calmly and respectfully as always.

However, his eyes still couldn't help but contain regret. Su Hao... It was such a pity without Su Hao as his rival. Su Hao was the only student from the same generation as him that can give him pressure. That rocket-like sprint in progress displayed by Su Hao made him go faster than ever.

Today, are you still in the Su family?

Wan Cheng looked in a certain direction. Su Hao, are you really willing to give up like this? I will be waiting for you in the world realm!

Taihu Territory.

This was a huge lake with an unlimited horizon.

If not for its location within the Federation, one would have regarded it as an ocean. However, for such a lake, no one knew how big it was. This is because ordinary people wouldn't be able to enter here. Above Taihu Territory, it was always misty akin to a fairyland.

At the outermost region of Taihu Territory, a few security guards were so bored that they played cards at the door. This was because they were well aware that any ordinary person would not dare come to this damn place!

Even if someone comes, they won't stop him.

After all...

Not many are capable of returning alive.

It was at this moment that the ground vibrated slightly, and those few security guards were so shocked that they turned around suddenly. They were stunned to find out that the dimly lit Taihu Territory can now be seen clearly. The floating mists were still present, but a distorted Taihu Territory emerged from under the sun.

”Damn it!”
