13: Chapter 13 The Wang family has a hidden weakness!

Chapter 13: The Wang Family Has a Void Tempering Realm!

Although that strike just now was his strongest, he knew in his heart that with the strength Wang Teng had displayed, it was impossible for him to be defeated so easily.

But the result...

Wang Teng was sent flying?

He even spat blood?

Chen Xuanji looked down at his sword, then at Wang Teng, who was coughing up blood in the distance, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

What was going on?

"Good!!!"

In the stands, someone was the first to react, letting out a thunderous cheer.

Immediately after, the entire martial arts arena erupted!

"Chen Xuanji won! Chen Xuanji won!"

"Insta-killing the Crimson Sun Precious Body with one sword strike? What kind of god-tier swordsmanship is Chen Xuanji using?!"

"Too strong! Too strong! Chen Xuanji is the true number one Prodigy!"

"What Crimson Sun Precious Body? This is it? Just this?"

Cheers, shouts, and whistles blended together, vibrating until people's eardrums hurt.

On the high platform, Chen Jiuzhou, the head of the Chen Family, suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief.

His son won?

He beat a Prodigy possessing the Crimson Sun Precious Body?

This...

How was this possible?!

Chen Jiuzhou's brow furrowed as his gaze fell upon Wang Teng on the stage.

Something was wrong.

Very wrong.

Given the strength Wang Teng had just shown, even if Xuanji exerted his full effort, he should have only caused a slight injury at most; it was fundamentally impossible to win in a single strike.

There was a problem here!

In the stands, the heads and Elders of the other major families looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and suspicion.

"This Wang Teng... what happened?"

"Wasn't he quite fierce just now? Why did he suddenly fail?"

"Could it be that Chen Xuanji was hiding his strength?"

"Impossible! Although Chen Xuanji's strike was strong, it was at most at the level of the first layer of the Soul Fire Realm. It couldn't possibly have severely wounded the Crimson Sun Precious Body!"

"Then this is..."

Everyone discussed fervently, but no one could explain exactly what had occurred.

Wang Teng lay at the edge of the stage, his face as pale as paper, his aura completely chaotic.

He tried desperately to mobilize the spiritual energy within his body, only to find it like a pool of stagnant water, completely unresponsive.

Even more terrifying was that the power of the Crimson Sun Precious Body, which he had once been so proud of, was rapidly receding.

"Father... Father..." His voice was trembling, his eyes filled with terror.

On the high platform, Wang Zhenshan's expression changed drastically. With a flash of his body, he landed on the stage, supported Wang Teng, and sent his Divine Thought inside.

A moment later, his expression became extremely unsightly.

There was an extremely subtle force within Teng'er's body that was frantically devouring his Origin power.

That force was incredibly sinister; it remained hidden until it struck, and once it did, it was fatal.

And now, it had struck.

Teng'er's Crimson Sun Precious Body—was ruined.

Wang Zhenshan felt cold all over, and a surge of fury exploded from his chest, burning his very core.

"Who?! Who did this?!"

He roared toward the sky, his voice shrill and agonizing, making the entire martial arts arena tremble.

The pressure of the sixth layer of the Dharma Image Realm suddenly spread out, making it hard for the surrounding spectators to breathe.

He turned his head sharply, his gaze like a knife, sweeping across everyone present.

Li Wanshan's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Zhao Qiankun's brow furrowed as he shielded his Family's Disciples behind him.

Chen Jiuzhou stood by the stage, blocking Chen Xuanji behind him with a solemn expression.

Finally, Wang Zhenshan's gaze fell upon the Shen Family's direction, staring fixedly at Patriarch Shen Tianze.

"Head of the Shen Family—" His voice was low and heavy, carrying a suppressed, extreme rage, "Regarding today's matter, your Shen Family—"

"Zhenshan."

An aged voice came from behind the high platform. It wasn't loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears, sounding as if it were a whisper right beside them.

Wang Zhenshan's voice came to an abrupt halt.

The entire venue instantly fell silent.

Everyone's eyes turned toward the direction of the voice.

A white-haired old man walked out slowly.

He had a thin frame and a lean face, wearing a set of faded grey robes.

His eyes were cloudy yet deep, as if they could see through a person's heart.

His pace was not fast, but every step seemed to land on everyone's hearts, making everyone feel an invisible pressure.

That aura—was as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea.

The smile on Li Wanshan's face instantly froze.

Zhao Qiankun stood up abruptly, not even caring that his chair had flipped backward.

Chen Jiuzhou's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

Void Tempering Realm.

A Void Tempering Realm expert, the likes of which Guangnan City hadn't seen in nearly a hundred years, had appeared.

Wang Tiangang.

The former head of the Wang Family.

He had actually achieved a Breakthrough!

"Father!" Seeing the newcomer, a glimmer of hope flashed in Wang Zhenshan's eyes, and he quickly supported Wang Teng as he went to meet him.

Wang Tiangang ignored him, walking straight to Wang Teng. He leaned down, his withered fingers resting on Wang Teng's wrist, and sent his Divine Thought inside.

A moment later, his brow furrowed slightly, but it soon smoothed out.

"He can still be saved." He only said those four words, his tone calm and devoid of any emotion.

Wang Zhenshan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, his eyes turning red.

Wang Tiangang stood up and scanned the entire venue.

Wherever his gaze passed, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes. In front of the Void Tempering Realm, the Dharma Image Realm was like an ant.

His gaze finally landed on Patriarch Shen Tianze.

Patriarch Shen Tianze sat upright in the main seat, meeting Wang Tiangang's gaze head-on.

He didn't dodge or provoke; he simply looked back calmly.

Those eyes were as calm as water, neither humble nor arrogant.

Wang Tiangang watched for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and looked down at Wang Teng, who was slumped on the ground.

"Let's go."

He picked up Wang Teng, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared from the martial arts arena.

From beginning to end, he didn't question anyone, didn't threaten anyone, and didn't even give Chen Xuanji a second look.

But that calmness was more chilling than any harsh words.

The entire venue was dead silent.

After a long time, someone finally snapped out of it, their voice trembling: "V-Void Tempering Realm... the Wang Family produced a Void Tempering Realm expert..."

"How many years has it been since Guangnan City had a Void Tempering Realm expert? The last time one appeared was that Old Ancestor of the Shen Family a hundred years ago, right?"

"Now things are going to get interesting. With the Wang Family having a Void Tempering Realm expert, the Shen Family's position as the overlord is likely to be shaken."

Whispers gradually spread, and the gazes everyone directed toward the Wang Family were filled with awe and wariness.

Patriarch Shen Tianze put down his teacup, stood up, and said calmly, "Today's competition ends here. Everyone, disperse."

After saying that, he led the Shen Family members away, his steps steady and his expression calm.

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe followed behind him, both appearing normal, showing not the slightest bit of panic due to Wang Tiangang's appearance.

This composure made many people wonder—where did the Shen Family get this confidence?

Shen Qingyuan walked lazily at the back, his hands tucked in his sleeves, the corners of his mouth curling into a slight arc.

Void Tempering Realm?

No wonder the Wang Family has been so restless lately!

However, this Wang Tiangang is somewhat interesting.

Although Guangnan City is large, with his current Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation, he could detect any disturbance, let alone a Dharma Image Realm Cultivator making a Breakthrough.

But he hadn't noticed anything during this period, so it seemed this person hadn't achieved his Breakthrough within the city.

He glanced at Luo Qingyue beside him.

Luo Qingyue was dressed in snow-white clothes, looking cold and ethereal. She was quietly following by his side, seemingly indifferent to everything that had just happened.

But Shen Qingyuan noticed that her hand holding the tea set tightened slightly.

"What's wrong?" he asked casually.

Luo Qingyue looked up at him, then lowered her eyes, her voice clear and light: "That old man discovered the poison I used..."

Shen Qingyuan raised an eyebrow and didn't speak.

Luo Qingyue paused, then added: "Young Master, should I find an opportunity to eliminate him? To prevent him from bringing trouble to you."
