Challenging Wang Xianzhi

Chapter 33: Challenging Wang Xianzhi

Previously, Wang Ritain had decisively defeated Yu Xinlang and shattered Wang Xianzhi's awe-inspiring martial will, propelling his reputation to an unprecedented peak.

Now, he dared to challenge Wang Xianzhi, the universally acknowledged invincible expert of the martial world. This news instantly became the focal point of heated discussions across the land, with opinions sharply divided.

In taverns, teahouses, and even remote mountain villages throughout the martial world, people were talking about this event. A young martial artist, his eyes gleaming with excitement and admiration, excitedly waved his arms and exclaimed, "This Wang Ritain is truly a role model for our generation! So young, yet his strength is terrifying. First, he defeated Yu Xinlang, and now he's challenging Wang Xianzhi. Among the younger generation, no one can even come close to him!"

However, some scoffed at the idea. An old man with white hair, sitting in a corner of a tavern, held his wine cup and took a slow sip. He then shook his head gently, a look of disdain on his face. "This Wang Ritain is simply overestimating himself! Who is Wang Xianzhi? He's an invincible existence who stands unshaken in the martial world. Wang Ritain is just a fledgling kid who dares to challenge Wang Xianzhi. Isn't this seeking his own death? The gap between them is like heaven and earth; they can't even be compared." Although the old man's voice was not loud, it was clearly audible in the tavern, causing those around him to nod in agreement.

On the peak of Wudang Mountain in the Liyang Dynasty, Wang Zhonglou, clad in a Taoist robe, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, appeared like an immortal descending to the mortal realm. He gazed into the distance, a hint of joy in his expression. "The emergence of this Wang Ritain is truly a blessing for the martial world!" Wang Zhonglou murmured softly, his voice filled with a touch of emotion. His disciples behind him, upon hearing their master's words, looked on with curiosity. One disciple couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Master, who exactly is this Wang Ritain? Why do you praise him so highly?" Wang Zhonglou turned around, his gaze sweeping over his disciples, and slowly said, "This young man has extraordinary talent and peerless strength. Even with my current Great Finger Profound power, I might not be able to suppress him." The disciples were all shocked to hear this. They knew their master's strength was already top-tier in the martial world, and for him to say such a thing now showed just how terrifying Wang Ritain's strength must be. The disciple continued, "Master, what do you think are Wang Ritain's chances of winning this challenge against Wang Xianzhi?" Wang Zhonglou shook his head slightly, his expression grave. "Wang Xianzhi's power far exceeds your imagination. He can casually toy with experts in the Great Celestial Phenomenon realm. If Wang Ritain can survive Wang Xianzhi's hands, it will be enough to shock the entire martial world." Hearing their master's words, the disciples' hearts were filled with curiosity and anticipation for Wang Ritain's strength and the upcoming battle.

In the imperial capital of Liyang, Han Diao Si sat in his study, dealing with a mountain of paperwork. His brow was furrowed, and his eyes showed a hint of fatigue. Suddenly, an attendant hurried into the study and whispered a few words in his ear. Han Diao Si's expression instantly turned solemn. He put down his brush and slowly stood up. "This Wang Ritain is indeed an interesting character," Han Diao Si said softly, a hint of amusement in his voice. As an important figure in the Liyang Dynasty, and known as "Finger Profound Kills Celestial Phenomenon," his strength was astonishing. Naturally, he paid close attention to every move in the martial world. Especially Wang Ritain, who was positioned between North Liang and Liyang, had drawn his heightened attention. However, when he heard the news of Wang Ritain challenging Wang Xianzhi, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, a mocking smile appearing on his face. "This Wang Ritain is truly overestimating himself," Han Diao Si muttered. He knew Wang Xianzhi's terrifying power well; even with his own strength, he wouldn't dare to easily engage with Wang Xianzhi. In his opinion, Wang Ritain challenging Wang Xianzhi was undoubtedly like a moth flying into a flame, with no chance of victory.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Dapan had arrived outside Wudi City. Standing in the distance, he gazed at the lingering aura of battle emanating from the city, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. "This Wang Ritain's strength is so formidable now; he's no longer the person he used to be." Xuanyuan Dapan said in a low voice, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. He had intended to deal with Wang Ritain to eliminate a major threat to the Xuanyuan Family, but now that Wang Ritain was challenging Wang Xianzhi, and Wang Xianzhi had accepted, he was momentarily unsure of what to do. "If Wang Ritain can escape from Wang Xianzhi's hands, it won't be too late for me to make a move," Xuanyuan Dapan mused inwardly, deciding to wait and see for now.

On Huishan, Xuanyuan Qingfeng stood in the courtyard, her hands trembling slightly, her eyes filled with shock. "Wang Ritain has actually become this powerful! Challenging Wudi City, defeating the Twelve Martial Slaves and Yu Xinlang, and now challenging Wang Xianzhi. All these deeds are enough to shake the entire Xuanyuan Family." Xuanyuan Qingfeng murmured to herself. She turned and entered the main hall, where she saw Xuanyuan Guoqi sitting on a chair, his expression grim, his brow furrowed, his inner unease evident. Xuanyuan Qingfeng walked up to Xuanyuan Guoqi and said softly, "Father, now that Wang Ritain is challenging Wang Xianzhi, how should we respond?" Xuanyuan Guoqi sighed, saying helplessly, "The situation is unclear now, so we will observe for the time being. This Wang Ritain has already become a major threat to our Xuanyuan Family. If there's an opportunity, we must eliminate him."

Afterward, Xuanyuan Qingfeng went to Xuanyuan Jingcheng's room. She looked at Xuanyuan Jingcheng, her eyes full of confusion, and asked, "Brother, what do you think are Wang Ritain's chances of winning this challenge against Wang Xianzhi?" Xuanyuan Jingcheng looked up, his gaze deep, and slowly shook his head. "Wang Xianzhi is an invincible existence. Although Wang Ritain is strong, there is still a considerable gap between him and Wang Xianzhi. In this challenge, if Wang Ritain can preserve his life, perhaps in the future, he will have a chance to truly compete with Wang Xianzhi."
