Chapter 275 - Frogs In A Well
The Battle of the Hundred Nations involved the fate of a nation, and no one dared to be careless.
“Fan Zhen, it’s surprising to see a lack of promising talents from your Great Yan Dynasty this time.” A colossal demonic beast landed fifty meters away, and they approached the gathering of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The one who spoke was an old man about the same age as Fan Zhen. He was roughly a hundred years old, a True Core Realm expert with formidable strength.
“Tan Wenxiong, what brings you here?” Fan Zhen’s expression was one of displeasure, indicating their familiarity with each other.
“I’m just curious. Can’t you find any geniuses in your Great Yan Dynasty? Look at them! There’s only one in the True Core Realm, and he probably made his breakthrough recently, judging from the purity of his true essence,” Tan Wenxiong said in a mocking tone as he stroked his beard.
To mock right from the beginning meant they weren’t friends but enemies.
The other party had twenty-one people, seven of whom were in the True Core Realm. Everyone else was in the Quasi-True Core Realm, and they were much stronger in comparison.
Looking back at the Great Yan Dynasty’s party, everyone else was at the pinnacle of the Marrow Cleansing Realm aside from Mo Chong.
Faced with mockery, the eighteen students naturally became unhappy. They didn’t provoke the other party, but the other party came to mock them. What were they up to?
“Headmaster, who are they?” Ma Zhuoyu asked.
Mo Chong and the other students also looked over curiously.
“They’re from the Sky Mansion Dynasty!” Fan Zhen didn’t conceal anything. The Battle of the Hundred Nations was starting soon, and the students had to understand their opponents.
“The Sky Mansion Dynasty that has been violating our borders constantly?”
Everyone showed a hint of anger when the Sky Mansion Dynasty was mentioned. Only Liu Wuxie could keep his composure and glance at the representatives of the Sky Mansion Dynasty.
“During the previous Battle of the Hundred Nations, we lost two major cities, and one was lost to the Sky Mansion Dynasty. The Sky Mansion Dynasty still enslaves many citizens living in that city.” The citizens living in the conquered cities were at the bottom of the pyramid and no different from slaves.
This incident brought great disgrace to the Great Yan Dynasty, igniting a wave of anger in everyone.
“Tan Wenxiong, don’t get ahead of yourself. The Battle of the Hundred Nations hasn’t even begun,” Fan Zhen retorted with a smirk. In the past, he would have had no choice but to swallow his pride due to their relative weakness.
However, this year was different because they had Liu Wuxie, who was bound to make a mark in the Battle of the Hundred Nations.
“Hahaha! What a joke! Are you planning to depend on these weaklings? I fear they’ll all perish here before the Battle of Hundred Nations concludes,” one of the Sky Mansion Dynasty’s students taunted.
“Damn it! I want to fight them!” Ma Zhuoyu couldn’t stand the provocation and wanted to fight, but he was held back by the other students, who shook their heads. They knew none of them were strong enough to fight the Sky Mansion Dynasty’s students besides Liu Wuxie.
Unless Liu Wuxie gave the signal, they would be marching towards certain death if they stepped forward.
“What a bunch of cowards. Aren’t you all going to say anything facing my ridicule?” The student became even more arrogant and drew laughter from the surroundings.
A few more groups arrived, representing other nations. They began gathering when they noticed the commotion.
The Great Yan Dynasty’s party tolerated the taunting, but the other party further insulted them.
“Senior Brother Li, why bother wasting time with garbage like them? They won’t live long anyway; they will be the first ones wiped out when the Battle of Hundred Nations begins.
“This is too much! Senior Brother Liu, are you going to take this lying down?” Ma Zhuoyu walked over to Liu Wuxie because only he could teach them a lesson.
If this carried on, the Great Yan Dynasty would be significantly humiliated.
However, Liu Wuxie seemed unbothered and merely glanced at Ma Zhuoyu. He didn’t have any sense of belonging to the Great Yan Dynasty and was simply a passerby. Thus, he didn’t want to get involved in these unnecessary conflicts.
His goal was to enter the cultivation world to obtain more resources; the others weren’t on his mind.
“Senior Brother Liu, Junior Brother Ma is are right. You have to teach these people a lesson!” Everyone banded together because they were from the same nation.
“Hahaha! What a joke! This garbage wants someone in the ninth-level Marrow Cleansing Realm to teach us a lesson?!” A burst of laughter erupted from the Sky Mansion Dynasty’s party, and they looked at the Great Yan Dynasty’s party with contempt.
“Senior Brother Liu...” The Great Yan Dynasty’s students all turned to Liu Wuxie, hoping that he would say something and intimidate these bastards.
“Why bother with a bunch of frogs in a well?” Liu Wuxie found himself compelled to respond after being pushed forward by everyone. Moreover, he was also a target when they ridiculed the Great Yan Dynasty.
“What did you say?! How dare you call us frogs in a well! I’ll kill you!” Liu Wuxie’s words had successfully enraged the Sky Mansion Dynasty’s party, who drew their weapons.
When they saw this scene, Ma Zhuoyu and everyone were emotional. They believed Liu Wuxie wouldn\'t have a problem with the Sky Mansion Dynasty.
“Are you all certain you wish to engage in a battle here?” Liu Wuxie’s demeanor was non-threatening. He didn’t appear menacing, yet he exuded an uncanny aura, particularly his eyes, which resembled unfathomable abysses.
Liu Wuxie had always adhered to a principle: he wouldn’t instigate trouble unless provoked. However, if they sought conflict, he wouldn’t shy away; he was fully capable of eliminating them.
“Headmaster, this brat is too arrogant. I’m requesting permission to kill him!” A Quasi-True Core Realm student stepped forward from the Sky Mansion Dynasty’s party, asking Tan Wenxiong’s permission to take action.
“Granted!” Tan Wenxiong agreed.
Upon receiving the headmaster’s consent, the youth unleashed a violent aura that formed into rumbling waves.
This person’s information was included in the booklets Fan Zhen had handed out earlier. His name was Liu Guangpeng, and he possessed ordinary strength among the Sky Mansion Dynasty’s party.
Since reaching the ninth-level Marrow Cleansing Realm, Liu Wuxie hadn’t had a chance to engage in combat. He was capable of defeating low-leveled True Core Realm cultivators with a single move. One could only imagine the fate of a Quasi-True Core Realm cultivator.
“Wuxie, be careful!” Fan Zhen warned despite knowing that Liu Wuxie was strong. This was the Dragon Battlefield, a place constantly filled with dangers, and the slightest mistake could lead to death.
In previous years, many True Core Realm cultivators had lost their lives. The Battle of the Hundred Nations was a path paved with blood, and one would have to step on the corpses of others if they wanted to join the cultivation world.
Liu Wuxie nodded because he never took his opponents lightly and would fight with all his strength regardless of who he faced.
The Great Yan Dynasty’s party cheered excitedly and quickly retreated to a distance, clearing space for the fight.
More people began to gather from the surroundings, and most parties had thirty people, while the smallest group consisted of five. Those small groups belonged to the smaller nations that were even weaker than the Great Yan Dynasty.
“Brat, you dare to belittle us by labeling us as ‘frogs in a well’?! Today, on behalf of the Sky Mansion Dynasty, I will teach you a lesson and show you that you cannot speak without consequence!” Liu Guangpeng, filled with indignation, launched a punch towards Liu Wuxie’s face.
He was incredibly quick, and his strength was comparable to that of cultivators in the True Core Realm despite being in the Quasi-True Core Realm.
The Sky Mansion Dynasty had been developing rapidly, producing countless geniuses. Given their national power and talents, they were stronger than the Great Yan Dynasty.
“What’s going on? Why are they fighting?” Those who arrived later were curious about the situation, with only a day remaining until the Battle of the Hundred Nations.
The Sky Mansion Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty were rivals, and a battle was inevitable when they met.
Another nation arrived and came over. They belonged to the Heavenly Fragrance Dynasty and were known for producing various incense. The two nations were ambitious and had tried to poison the Great Yan Dynasty’s Emperor with the Soothing Incense and Seven Music Box.
However, Liu Wuxie had exposed their plot and thwarted their plans. There was a high possibility that Prince Yongxian had conspired with the two nations.
As the punch got closer, Liu Guangpeng didn’t take Liu Wuxie seriously. The information that they had received didn’t have Liu Wuxie’s name on it.
After all, Liu Wuxie’s rise was in recent months, and news about him hadn’t reached the two nations. Strangely enough, Liu Wuxie stood quietly, allowing Liu Guangpeng’s punch to approach.
“See that? He must be terrified to resist.” The other Sky Mansion Dynasty students laughed and spewed vicious words.
“Someone in the Marrow Cleansing Realm dares humiliate us? Let Senior Brother Liu teach him a lesson and show him the might of our Sky Mansion Dynasty!” Everyone could see that Liu Guangpeng’s punch was just a few inches away from Liu Wuxie’s face.
“Brat, prepare to die! I’ll let you know the consequences of offending the Sky Mansion Dynasty!” Liu Guangpeng chuckled sinisterly, envisioning Liu Wuxie’s head being smashed apart by his punch. His punch also produced a series of rumbling sounds, and he had used his full strength.
“A fly like you dares to buzz around in front of me? Killing you will only dirty my hands.” Violent and murderous intent swept out from Liu Wuxie, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
“What a powerful shockwave!” The faces of those in the surroundings changed because this didn’t seem like the power of someone in the Marrow Cleansing Realm but a cultivator in the True Core Realm.
The cultivation couldn’t be faked, and Liu Wuxie was clearly in the ninth-level Marrow Cleansing Realm.
When the shockwave swept out, Liu Guangpeng instantly realized something was amiss. He instinctively moved sideways, but it was too late because Liu Wuxie was ten times faster.
