Chapter 13 - Brotherhood (1/2)

“Brother Feng!”

Looking at Mu Feng who was being humiliated by others, some of the Mu disciples actually felt sorry for him. Of course, there were also some who felt angry when the others mocked him.

“Hmph, he’s such a shame to our family! Even if he has Ling Gu, what use is it? No matter how talented he is, he’s still a cripple!”

Mu Qing said in disdain.

“Huh, you see that? That’s what we call ‘shameless’. His Meta-pulses were already damaged but he still wants to show off his talent? What a shameless person!”

Mu Qing had made some effort to keep his voice down, but not Shang Guan Qianzhi. He laughed loudly and said sarcastically without bothering to lower his voice.

Shang Guan Qianzhi laughed at Mu Feng in a loud voice. His speech was full of sarcasm.

“Haha, that’s right, little lord. No matter what, the Mu family is considered one of the upper-ranked families. Mu Feng has indeed brought shame to his family!”

“Yeah, exactly. If I was him, I wouldn’t have come for today’s test!”

“……”

The disciples from the Shang Guan family chimed in and started chattering among each other.

“Feng…”

Among the Yun family’s disciples, only Yun Qingwan looked at Mu Feng with worrying and pitiful eyes.

At this moment, Mu Feng realized that he was standing at the cusp of public opinions. He looked down at the crowd and finally got a taste of the bitterness in life.

Meanwhile, Zhao Heng also shot Mu Feng a look full of disdain. He then glanced up sideways and nodded at somebody who was up at a nearby building.

On the other hand, Mu Feng clenched his fists, stared at Zhao Heng, and said with a laugh: “Elder, my Meta-pulses are indeed destroyed. However, life is a long journey, and nobody knows who will be the one laughing in the end. Remember what you said today, as one day in the future, I’ll make you take back your disdainful words and prove to you that a young man’s dream is able to come true.”

Mu Feng pointed at Zhao Heng and said determinedly.

A few adults from the crowd couldn’t help but feel a hint of respect towards Mu Feng, as the words he said weren’t those that would normally be said by his peers. However, his future was bound to be bleak since he was now a cripple.

Just as Mu Feng finished his sentence, Mu Feng turned around and was about to leave.

“Stop!”

Zhao Heng shouted coldly.

“Is there anything else?”

Mu Feng stopped in his tracks and asked, without turning back to look.

“Hmph, I would like to see how you will prove yourself. How about we make a bet?”

Zhao Heng said with a cold laugh.

“Oh? What kind of bet?”

Mu Feng turned around and faced him.

“You’re now 15 years old, right? The academy will be recruiting again in two years. In two years, if you manage to defeat him in a fight, I will apologize to you and admit that I’m wrong in public. However, if you can’t, you will have to kowtow and apologize to me in front of the public. Do you dare to bet?”

Zhao Heng sneered coldly while pointing at Shang Guan Qianzhi who stood among the crowd.

Upon hearing his words, most of the elders frowned.

Zhao Heng definitely crossed the line today. He is a Yuan Dan level cultivator. How could he be angry with a young man?

“Haha, I’d love to fight with the genius, Mu Feng, in two years!”

Shang Guan Qianzhi stepped forward and said with a laugh. He had already reached Tong Mai Ninth Sky and would breakthrough to the Zi Fu level in no time. If he trained for two years at the Royal Wudo Academy, he was positive that he could win in a fight against Mu Feng.

“So what now? Do you have the guts to accept the challenge?”

Shang Guan Qianzhi said with a laugh. Zhao Heng also looked at him and smiled coldly.

“Wait, I don’t agree!”

At this moment, a girl’s voice rang out. It was Yun Qingwan.

“Yun Qingwan stepped forward and said: “I reject this deal! I’m willing to fight with Shang Guan Qianzhi on behalf of Mu Feng in two years!”

Just as Yun Qingwan finished her sentence, the crowd was in an uproar.

Although Mu Feng was now a cripple, Yun Qingwan still didn’t want to give up on him. The crowd was jealous.

When Shang Guan Qianzhi saw that Yun Qingwan actually spoke up for Mu Feng, it sparked anger in his heart and he said furiously: “Mu Feng, don’t tell me all you can do now is to hide behind a woman?!”
