257: Challenge Feng

“What? In your eyes, is our Supreme Academy of the Heavens inferior to their Ten Thousand Realms Academy and Chaos Academy?”

“Or are you deliberately ignoring us, hoping to sell yourself at a higher price?”

The arrogant woman said mockingly.

“Who are you?”

Wu Ning glanced at her and asked indifferently.

The woman snorted proudly, “Listen carefully, this Fairy is Immortal Maiden Weng Ya, an Inner Courtyard Disciple of the Supreme Academy Inner Courtyard, from the Imperial Family of the Qingxuan Ancient Kingdom in the Hengyu Heaven Realm!”

As she spoke, she held her head high, her brows revealing a hint of arrogance.

The Qingxuan Ancient Kingdom was an ancient force on the same level as the Wu Clan in the Heavens. As a member of the Imperial Family, and with her identity as an Inner Courtyard Disciple of the Supreme Academy of the Heavens, she did not need to show any reverence to the Wu Clan.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Middle Stage mentor from the Ten Thousand Realms Academy and the female mentor from the Chaos Academy, but neither of them spoke, silently waiting to watch the show.

There was a hint of displeasure in Shen Qian’s eyes, though it was unclear who it was directed at.

“Immortal Maiden Weng Ya, is it?”

Wu Ning said indifferently, “As you just said, you have come several times but have not been able to see this Dao Child, which only proves that your Supreme Academy of the Heavens has no destiny with me. Since that is the case…”

“Someone, see them out!”

Wu Ning directly called out; he would not indulge them.

As his voice fell, a Wu Clan Disciple immediately walked in from outside the hall, gesturing to the people from the Supreme Academy of the Heavens, “Please, everyone.”

“What do you mean?!”

Immortal Maiden Weng Ya’s face instantly filled with rage, and she glared at Wu Ning, demanding loudly, “We kindly came to invite you to join our Supreme Academy of the Heavens, and now you’re actually kicking us out?!”

Shen Qian’s expression also turned ugly, especially after he glimpsed Wan Zhengyang and Si Xuan on the side, which made him even more enraged.

“Young Clan Leader Wu, is this the Wu Clan’s way of hospitality?”

Shen Qian looked at Wu Tianyun, who was seated at the head, and questioned him.

Although Wu Tianyun had long been annoyed with them, he still had to consider their identities, so he replied with a smile:

“Mentor Shen Qian, I am truly sorry. My son is unwilling to further his studies at your esteemed academy, causing you to make a wasted trip.”

“How about this, it wasn’t easy for you to travel such a long distance. I will immediately have someone prepare an Immortal banquet for you. At least have a meal before you leave.”

A hint of anger flashed in Shen Qian’s eyes. Who wanted to eat his Immortal banquet? Was that what he meant?

Shen Qian laughed in extreme anger, “What a Wu Clan! Since you look down on our Supreme Academy of the Heavens, our Supreme Academy of the Heavens doesn’t care for an arrogant and rude person either!”

“Hmph, let’s go!”

Shen Qian flicked his sleeve and turned to walk out.

“Wait.”

Just then, the Hua Fu Youth behind him stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Wu Ning, his expression playful:

“I heard that the Dao Child of the Wu Clan is a Prodigy, unprecedented in history, possessing the strength to slay an Immortal Emperor at the age of one thousand. I, on the other hand, am not so talented, only reaching the Early Stage Immortal Emperor at three million years old. I hope the Dao Child of the Wu Clan can offer some guidance.”

“Oh? You want to challenge me?”

Wu Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.

Wan Zhengyang and Si Xuan exchanged glances. They both knew this Hua Fu Youth, named Xiang Feng, a prominent figure in the Supreme Academy Inner Courtyard, who had achieved the Dao of Immortal Emperor tens of thousands of years ago.

His strength was absolutely formidable, no less than many veteran Immortal Emperors who had already broken through to the Middle Stage.

They were actually curious about Wu Ning’s strength as well. Now that Xiang Feng had proactively challenged him, it was exactly what they wanted.

“That’s right.”

“I want to challenge the Dao Child. Please enlighten me!”

Xiang Feng’s lips curved slightly, and he cupped his hands slightly towards Wu Ning.

Shen Qian frowned, but he did not stop him. In fact, he secretly thought that if Xiang Feng defeated Wu Ning and taught him a severe lesson, it would be for the best.

“How about it? The Dao Child of the Wu Clan wouldn’t be afraid, would he?”

Immortal Maiden Weng Ya said with a cold laugh.

Wu Ning chuckled, saying, “Very well, I’ll give you a chance.”

“Lest you say that our Wu Clan doesn’t understand etiquette and can’t even satisfy a small request from a guest.”

With that, Wu Ning directly got up and slowly walked out of the main hall.

A moment later.

On the plaza outside the main hall, Wu Ning and Xiang Feng stood facing each other. Many Wu Clan Disciples, having heard the news, were continuously arriving.

“Who is that guy? He actually dares to challenge the Dao Child. I wonder who gave him the courage!”

“He’s probably some self-proclaimed great Genius, unwilling to believe the rumors outside, and trying to make a name for himself by stepping on our Dao Child…”

“Hey, I heard that guy is from the Supreme Academy of the Heavens. He’s a true Prodigy, and since he dares to challenge the Dao Child, he must have some skill.”

“So what if he’s from the Supreme Academy of the Heavens? Daring to challenge the Dao Child is simply overestimating himself!”

“The Dao Child was able to slay an Immortal Emperor five hundred years ago. Now, after another five hundred years of secluded cultivation, his strength has probably risen to another level. I estimate that guy won’t even last ten rounds.”

“I think he’ll last three rounds at most!”

“How about a bet? I think the Dao Child only needs one move to defeat him…”

The Wu Clan Disciples whispered among themselves, no one believing that Xiang Feng had any hope of winning.

Though these voices were soft, they clearly entered Xiang Feng’s ears, greatly irritating him.

“Hmph, when I defeat your Dao Child in public, let’s see if you can still laugh then!”

Xiang Feng snorted coldly in his heart.

“Make your move. I’ll give you one chance to attack.”

Wu Ning said calmly.

“Heh, then I shall grant your wish!”

Xiang Feng was extremely displeased with his calm demeanor, but he did not refuse. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and a powerful Immortal Emperor aura instantly erupted from within him.

Boom!

The powerful Immortal Emperor pressure instantly spread out in all directions, causing the Wu Clan Disciples to immediately stop their discussions.

“Spirit Slayer, kill for me!”

Xiang Feng raised his hand and conjured an Immortal Emperor cauldron with an extremely terrifying aura. Then, he roared, raising the Immortal Emperor cauldron and pointing its mouth towards Wu Ning.

Boom—!

The Immortal Emperor cauldron was surrounded by terrifying streaks of destructive power. As Xiang Feng continuously poured Immortal Qi into it, the Immortal Emperor cauldron suddenly shot out a thick blood-colored beam of light, directly blasting towards Wu Ning.

This blood-colored beam carried unparalleled and terrifying might, capable of instantly annihilating a Quasi Immortal Emperor. It pierced through the Void Realm and appeared directly in front of Wu Ning.

Bang!

In the next instant, the blood-colored beam directly collided with an invisible barrier. The terrifying power contained within it instantly erupted, sweeping out in all directions and violently crashing into the defensive barrier surrounding the plaza.

The entire plaza shook violently, but the invisible barrier in front of Wu Ning remained as solid as ever, without the slightest damage.

Upon seeing this scene, Shen Qian, Wan Zhengyang, and Si Xuan all narrowed their eyes.

To so easily block Xiang Feng’s full-power attack, even they might not be able to do it.

One must know that they were all Peak Immortal Emperors!
