547 Grand Ceremony! (2/2)
”Third General Jun, this Feng Juan Yun took the liberty to pay a visit to drink a glass of wine with you. I hope Third General Jun won't mind me!” Feng Juan Yun flashed a rarely-seen warm smile when he saw Jun Wu Yi.
”You are flattering me. This Wu Yi is immensely grateful! Please, please, he he… Why are you calling me Third General Jun. There's no need for that. Please call me by my name,” Jun Wu Yi replied in an enthusiastic manner. He held Feng Juan Yun's hands as he welcomed the man into the hall.
All the families had stepped forward to extend their greeting to Feng Juan Yun. His name was at the last spot amongst the ranking of the Eight Great Masters. However, no swordsman apart from the Cold-blooded Great Master Lei Wu Bei could dare to provoke him. In fact, anyone doing so could only be considered as suicidal. It was nearly impossible to contend against this man.
Feng Juan Yun merely nodded at them as he walked past. However, he didn't even reply to the Family Lords of these noble families. Everyone forced a smile in dejection. But, everyone was aware of Feng Juan Yun's temperament and prideful nature. Great Master Li Jue Tian had been unrivalled when they had gathered for the battle outside the Tian Fa Forest. No one present had the capability of matching his strength. However, Feng Juan Yun had still dared to unsheathe his sword. In fact, he had nearly killed Li Ju Tian's only son… [That boy was the only heir to one of the most powerful factions in the world. Moreover, he was the son of one of the most powerful Great Masters. So, where do we stand in the eyes of a man like Feng Juan Yun?]
Besides, everyone had already gotten a few shocks when they had arrived at Jun Family's function this time. It must be said that the Jun Family wasn't regarded as a very powerful family in-itself. However, they had the Solitary Eagle to keep a watch over them. Therefore, nobody had dared to look down on them. Moreover, these people had soon realized that Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi had been hiding some crucial information. After all, this father-and-son duo had ascended to the Spirit Xuan Level!
This news had been enough to shock these people.
The Tian Xiang Empire had never had a Spirit Xuan expert in its court. However, it had suddenly seen the emergence of two Spirit Xuan experts! Moreover, both of them belonged to the same family!
Most importantly — they hailed from a divine military family!
It must be mentioned that the Jun Family hadn't been in the limelight over the past few years. However, people had still been collecting detailed information on them the entire time. After all, the Jun Family was still the top military family of Tian Xiang. Their information sources had stated that Jun Zhan Tian was at the Sky Xuan Level. So, how had he suddenly become a Spirit Xuan expert? They knew that Jun Wu Yi had shown unexpected promotion in his strength in the past as well. After all, he had managed to become a Sky Xuan expert even when he was handicapped. But, how had he suddenly become a Spirit Xuan expert? Moreover, his disability had also been cured…
Everything about these matters had been sudden, mysterious, and unfathomable…
”Ha-Ha, Feng Juan Yun! You've finally arrived here, Old Boy. I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. And, you've finally showed. Let's go to the backyard and play-around later on. Maybe you'll still gain some benefits from it,” A complacent Solitary Eagle walked out with a burst of laughter. His body-language made it seem as if he was hoping for a fight.
Jun Wu Yi had taken the Heavenly Vitality Pill a few days ago. And, his strength had successfully promoted to the Spirit Xuan Level as a result. Then, the three men had taken the Vitality Congregation Pill at the same time. Moreover, Jun Wu Yi had also taken a Vitality Linkage Pill. Consequently, the three men had seen an enormous advancement in their respective strengths. This wasn't a trivial progress either. In fact, it would've been outrageous if their strength hadn't advanced after this!
Solitary Eagle had been feeling very happy of late. After all, he had never imagined that his strength would increase so drastically in less than a year because he had contracted his services to the Jun Family over a bet! He had made great progress in his martial techniques. Moreover, his speed had also increased to an unimaginable level.
His strength had improved by at least two levels. In fact, even the unattainable levels which hovered above the Great Master realm seemed somewhat within his reach now!
Therefore, Solitary Eagle had been feeling as if he was living a dream of late.
Getting no money at the end of a day's labor is like wearing a nice dress to parade in the dark of the night. His strength had seen a massive enhancement of late. So, wouldn't he feel like he had out on a beautiful dress to parade in the dark of the night if he didn't get to flaunt it to his age-old rival? It would've genuinely spoilt his fun…
However, the greatest rival of his life — Feng Juan Yun — had suddenly arrived. Therefore, this was like a heaven-sent gift as far as Solitary Eagle was concerned.
Feng Juan Yun stared at Solitary Eagle for a long time. Then, there was a sudden burst of astonishment in his eyes. Solitary Eagle's Xuan strength had always been excellent. And, his techniques had also been great. But, Solitary Eagle's overall strength had still been nearly at par with him. This guy had beaten him outside Tian Fa Forest a few months ago after using a very strange technique. However, Feng Juan Yun hadn't been convinced with his defeat. In fact, Feng Juan Yun had eventually grasped the chink in that technique after some contemplation. Therefore, he had also harbored some intent of challenging Solitary Eagle when he had decided to visit the Jun Family.
However, Feng Juan Yun suddenly discovered that this abominable Solitary Eagle's strength had reached new heights when they came face-to-face. In fact, Solitary Eagle was giving him a strong sense of oppression even though he was merely standing there…
Even the incorporeal air around his body felt somewhat thicker…
Feng Juan Yun was very familiar with this kind of feeling. [This feeling of having your hands and feet tied together only arises when you are facing an opponent you can't match up to. Am I genuinely that far behind him?]
[But… this man is the Solitary Eagle! How is it possible? Even the Master of Life and Death — Shi Chang Xiao — and cold-blooded master Lei Wu Bei don't leave me feeling such a strong sense of frustration! How did Solitary Eagle achieve this enormous increase of strength in such a brief period? Has he already surpassed Shi Chang Xiao? It seems like he's close to Li Jue Tian's level!]
Feng Juan Yun revealed a bitter smile for a while. He stared at the Solitary Eagle without even blinking. Then, he eventually let out a sigh of relief and said, ”Only ignorant don't understand things. We don't need to fight. I'm not your opponent anymore. So, it doesn't make any sense to fight!”
Solitary Eagle felt very disheartened.
Solitary Eagle had fought with the Tiger King after the latter's strength enhancement last night. The Solitary Eagle had superficially gained an upper hand because of his clever techniques. But, he knew that he had fallen short in reality…
The Tiger King's skin was extremely rough, and his flesh was inhumanly thick. Therefore, it had been useless to strike his body since it had done no harm to the Beast King. In fact, the Solitary Eagle's muscles had been hurting the entire night from the excessive strain. Solitary Eagle knew that he would've fallen short if they had gone for a second round. In fact, he reckoned that he would've died at the hands of the Tiger King in case they had fought a desperate battle of life and death. And, this had obviously left him very depressed. However, he had finally bumped into Feng Juan Yun at this time. Therefore, he had thought of giving vent to his frustration. However, this guy had straight away smashed his hopes…
