"Are you trying to make a life-and-death bet with me?" Gong Lu Yun sneered.
"Are you really afraid of me and want to make a life-and-death bet with me? Afraid?" Chu Feng asked.
"Afraid? Would I be afraid of you? Ha... Ridiculous to the extreme." Gong Lu Yun laughed loudly, laughing so loudly that it seemed he had heard the funniest thing in the world. Then he said to everyone:
"Today, I have made a life-and-death bet with this boy. One year later, we will be back here to decide who is better. If he can block my three moves, I Gong Lu Yun will commit seppuku here and will not utter a single word of complaint."
Gong Lu Yun's words were domineering and direct, extremely arrogant. It showed that he was full of confidence in himself. What was even stranger was that people actually recognized his confidence, as if at this moment, everyone had already seen the scene where Chu Feng died here in a year's time.
One year? What can one year do? Even if Chu Feng was still in the Spirit Martial Realm, even if he was already in the Elemental Martial Realm, he couldn't enter the Divine Martial Realm within a year.
Moreover, Gong Lu Yun was the recognized first genius of the Blue Dragon Sect. Within this year, his strength would probably increase a lot more. So people thought that the chance of Chu Feng winning was almost zero.
"However, if you can't block my three moves in one year, I will kill you alive. No one can save you."
Gong Lu Yun pointed at Chu Feng and said this harshly. He sneered and then quickly left. And those who came here with him also coldly looked at Chu Feng and chased after him.
"Chu Feng, I'm sorry. It's all my fault..." Su Mei came to Chu Feng's side and looked at the face covered in bloodstains. She cried again out of sympathy.
"It's okay. It's just a minor injury. Don't cry."
Chu Feng wiped the tears from Su Mei's face and then looked at the people not far away, Su Tu Yu and others. He smiled: "You don't need to be afraid. Since you are no longer members of the Wing Alliance, we have no connection. I won't burden you."
"Chu Feng, we..."
When Chu Feng said this, the people around him had a change in expression. They really didn't dare to get close to Chu Feng. They really were afraid that Chu Feng would burden them. Who let Chu Feng offend the first disciple Gong Lu Yun?
"Haha, you don't need to look at me so hypocritically. I Chu Feng don't owe you anything, and you don't owe me Chu Feng either. We are strangers from now on."
Chu Feng waved his hand at Su Tu Yu and others. Although his mouth was smiling, his gaze was extremely cold. His side doesn't need such insincere friends.
Seeing Chu Feng like this, Su Tu Yu and others didn't act hypocritically either. They looked at Chu Feng meaningfully and then left. Now they must distance themselves from Chu Feng. Otherwise, they would all be in great danger.
"This young friend, how confident are you that you can win Gong Lu Yun in one year?" At this moment, Elder Li spoke up.
"Ha ha, I won't lie to this elder. Right now, I don't even have a one-tenth chance." Chu Feng was also honest.
"What? Not even a one-tenth chance? You dare make a life-and-death bet with me. Aren't you tricking my old man?" Elder Li immediately blew his beard and glared.
"Hey, thank you very much for your help just now, but Chu Feng now even doesn't have a one-tenth chance, but in one year, I will surely have a ten-tenths chance?" Chu Feng smiled.
"That kid, where did you get such great confidence from?" Elder Li looked at Chu Feng sideways.
"My confidence comes from pressure. If I don't win, I will die. So I must win." Chu Feng smiled again.
"Hey, the young people nowadays..." Elder Li didn't say anything more. Instead, he took out a scroll from his, came to the announcement wall in the square, opened the scrolls one by one, and pasted them on.
At this moment, many disciples gathered around. Because they knew what it was. It was the assessment results of Chu Feng and others. And the thing they most wanted to know was what kind of talent Chu Feng had to dare to challenge Gong Lu Yun.
However, when Chu Feng's information was pasted on the announcement wall, everyone was stunned. What was this situation? The talent was unclear. Having stayed in the core area for such a long time, it was the first time I had seen someone whose talent was unknown.
"Hmm, he failed to activate the test stone, so his talent is naturally unknown." As if sensing the doubts of everyone, Elder Li smiled and explained.
"What? Failed to activate the test stone? That means he isn't even of the lower-level talent, damn it. He's acting so cocky, but in the end, he turned out to be a waste of time?"
People shouted in surprise, looking at Chu Feng with even more contempt. Regarding the people's remarks, Elder Li didn't comment. After finishing pasting the twelve sheets of paper, he waved his sleeves and walked into his ancient palace.
"This old man is truly extraordinary."
Chu Feng originally wanted to say more thanks, but seeing that Elder Li wouldn't even look at him, he didn't go over either. Because he knew that Elder Li's saving him must have his own plan, but he didn't know the reason.
And even if he said more thanks now, it would be useless because gratitude shouldn't be expressed with words, but through actions. What Chu Feng needed to do was to defeat Gong Luyun in a year. Only in this way could it be the best way to express gratitude. At least it would let everyone know that Elder Li's saving him today was the right thing to do.
In the midst of countless people's discussions and gazes of contempt, Chu Feng held the core disciple token and headed to his residence in the core area.
And from the beginning to the end, Su Mei stayed by his side, completely ignoring others' words. She just looked at Chu Feng with concern, which made Chu Feng's heart feel very warm.
"Chu Feng, it's all my fault. I've burdened you."
"Go away from the Blue Dragon Sect. Come to my family. Let my family protect you. Don't fight with that Gong Luyun." After entering the palace, Su Mei hurriedly said.
"What do you mean? Do you want me to be a coward?" Chu Feng was a little unhappy. Although he knew Su Mei was doing it for his own good, he still felt uncomfortable.
"You don't know the background of that Gong Luyun. The power of his family is no less than that of the Blue Dragon Sect. He came to the Blue Dragon Sect to cultivate and become the sect's leader, to occupy this place."
"Firstly, the hope of yours winning against him in a year is very small. Even if you can win him, you shouldn't kill him because if you do, his family will surely kill you."
"In any case, this challenge match has almost no chance for you to win. He and his family won't give you this chance." Su Mei said solemnly.
"Hmm, if that's the case, I won't just kill him, but I'll destroy his family."
"Su Mei, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I Chu Feng has always been fearless. Today, since I dared to challenge him to a fight, I will definitely keep my promise and show up on the appointed day. Even if I die then, I'll accept it."
"I Chu Feng is not afraid of death. What I'm afraid of is a life that is weak and insignificant. Today, when Gong Lu Yun humiliated me like this, I will surely humiliate him a hundred times more in the future. Otherwise, what's the point of my living? Can I really live in this world and just let others insult me?"
"No, I Chu Feng was born not to be a victim. No matter who it is, they won't be able to suppress me. I can endure temporary humiliation, but I won't endure lifelong humiliation. All those who have oppressed me, I will make them pay the price."
"If Gong Lu Yun dares to oppress me, I will kill him. If his family dares to oppress me, I will destroy his family. If everyone in the world dares to oppress me, I will wipe out the entire world. Unless I die, no one in the entire world will be able to oppress me, Chu Feng!"
