Within the True Inheritance Courtyard, in the study of Chu Feng's Villa.
"BANG! CRASH—!"
The sound of shattering porcelain, overturning furniture, and heavy, suppressed breathing intertwined.
Chu Feng gripped the newly delivered Celestial Pride List booklet, his knuckles turning white from the force. His handsome face was twisted into a savage snarl, his eyes were bloodshot, and his chest heaved violently.
On the booklet, the glaring words "Ninety-seventh: Chu Feng" and, even more glaringly, "Ninety-fourth: Fang Han" just above it, felt like a red-hot branding iron searing his heart.
"Fang! Han!"
A low growl, like that of a wounded beast, escaped from deep within Chu Feng's throat, filled with endless humiliation, fury, and venomous resentment.
He could not accept that his rank on the Celestial Pride List had been surpassed by Fang Han—that he had dropped because of him!
This was an absolute, utter humiliation!
