Tease (Seeking Support!)

By evening, Luo Feng and Wang Cheng, after some preparations, left Mingyue Community.

On the way, Luo Feng said directly, "Brother Wang, Uncle Wu said this will be settled at the Limitless Martial Arts Hall, so we can just head there!"

"Mm, it's been a while since I've been to the hall. Perfect chance to visit!" Wang Cheng smiled and nodded.

As they chatted on the road, the two soon arrived at the Limitless Martial Arts Hall together.

At this time, besides Wu Tong, two other people were present at the Limitless Martial Arts Hall.

One was "Cannon" Chen Gu, and the other was "Eagle Blade" Kong Quan. Both were General level martial artists, and the only two General level martial artists in Mingyue Community.

Wu Tong had pulled both of them over in one go, showing how much he valued Luo Feng.

The Lightning Martial Arts Hall people hadn't arrived yet, so the Limitless Martial Arts Hall group started chatting. They were having a good time, but when their topic shifted to Wang Cheng, it gradually veered off course.

"Wang Cheng, I heard you quit your team?"

"You're only 25 this year, right? You should be striving hard; your future is still quite bright. What are you thinking?"

"Speaking of which, Wang Cheng, you're not young anymore. You've been a martial artist for so many years, and you've had quite a few girlfriends. Why are you still single? Thinking of finding a wife? If you are, I can have my wife introduce someone to you."

Wang Cheng was actually quite famous in Mingyue Community, known as a notorious playboy whose speed of changing girlfriends was comparable to changing clothes.

However, he was a martial artist with a considerable social status, so finding a wife wouldn't be difficult if he truly wanted to.

Of course, that was all about the old Wang Cheng and had nothing to do with the current Wang Cheng. Moreover, Wang Cheng had no intention of finding a wife at the moment.

Wang Cheng gave perfunctory replies. Soon, Wu Tong and the others shifted their gaze to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was only 18 this year, but according to the laws after the Great Calamity, he was old enough to get married at this age.

Therefore, the group shamelessly started teasing him!

Luo Feng felt very awkward, as he was a good man with only Xu Xin in his heart.

After a moment, the people from the Lightning Martial Arts Hall arrived, and Luo Feng was finally able to escape their teasing gazes. With the arrival of the Lightning Martial Arts Hall, the previously relaxed and joyful atmosphere instantly became solemn.

Neither of the two martial arts halls wanted their people to suffer a loss, so a verbal sparring match ensued.

Wang Cheng watched with interest, remaining silent throughout. Indeed, in the end, the matter developed in a direction none of them had anticipated.

Zhang Zehu, known for his terrible temper, in his extreme anger, was willing to pay one hundred million to redeem his nephew rather than pay Luo Feng thirty million in compensation.

Such a disadvantageous decision naturally stunned everyone. However, with Zhang Zehu's insistence, the Lightning Martial Arts Hall people did not try to persuade him further.

"One hundred million... I've worked for five years and haven't earned that much!"

Just as the Lightning Martial Arts Hall people were about to leave, Wang Cheng, who had been silent, suddenly said with a smile, "Mountain Splitting Tiger, I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"

"You? Wang Cheng?"

Zhang Zehu looked at Wang Cheng. They were both martial artists from Yangzhou City and both High-level Warriors. Zhang Zehu knew Wang Cheng, but they hadn't had much interaction before.

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Zehu asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Since we are all martial artists, we should naturally settle things with our fists!" Wang Cheng said with a smile.

"I'll fight you. If I win, you give Luo Feng that one hundred million. If I lose, I'll cover the thirty million for Luo Feng, and Luo Feng will release your nephew! How about it?"

"Just you?" Zhang Zehu scoffed.

At this moment, Wu Tong, Kong Quan, and the other two quickly asked in low voices, "Wang Cheng, are you crazy? That Zhang Zehu is a seasoned High-level Warrior, and he's probably close to becoming a General level. How long have you been a High-level Warrior? How can you be his opponent?"

"A mere Zhang Zehu, I don't take him seriously!" Wang Cheng said indifferently. He then added, "The key is whether Luo Feng agrees?"

"Brother Wang, this isn't good, is it?" Luo Feng immediately wanted to refuse. He wasn't the type to take advantage of others. In Wang Cheng's proposal, he would hardly lose anything!

On the contrary, if Wang Cheng lost, he would suffer a great loss!

"What's not good about it? It's just fighting Zhang Zehu. A martial artist's strength isn't determined by their age!" Wang Cheng said with a smile.

Seeing Wang Cheng's full confidence, Luo Feng's heart suddenly stirred. After a moment of thought, he nodded and said, "I believe in you, Brother Wang. However, if Zhang Zehu happens to win, you don't have to pay the thirty million. I agree to let Zhang Haobai go!"

Luo Feng was not an irrational person. This morning, Wang Cheng casually mentioned that he had researched the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, which greatly changed Luo Feng's perception of him.

Luo Feng had read many posts on Limitless Home and understood that only strong martial artists could learn the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. Although Luo Feng didn't know why Wang Cheng hadn't been famous before, he felt that Wang Cheng wouldn't lie to him about something like this, which was why Luo Feng agreed without hesitation.

Of course, not wanting to take advantage of Wang Cheng for nothing, Luo Feng also modified Wang Cheng's proposal. If Wang Cheng lost, he would directly agree to settle with Zhang Haobai.

"Since Luo Feng agrees, it's easy to handle!" Wang Cheng smiled and nodded. He didn't care about the conditions Luo Feng mentioned; they would fight first anyway.

Seeing that Luo Feng agreed, Wu Tong and the other two said nothing more. However, Wu Tong still asked, "Wang Cheng, you haven't been to the Wilderness Area for half a year, have you? Are you confident?"

"No problem!"

Wang Cheng nodded. He then looked at Zhang Zehu opposite him and gestured upwards.

"Hmph, how many years have you been a martial artist? I'm not afraid of you!" Zhang Zehu sneered, implicitly agreeing.

"Then let me see the skills of your Mountain Splitting Tiger!" Wang Cheng said with a smile.

Fighting between martial artists usually requires a proper venue, and this place, the Yangzhou City Limitless Martial Arts Hall, is more than enough for two High-level Warriors to have a go!

However, given the hundred million on the line, they couldn't just start haphazardly.

Under the watchful eyes of Wu Tong, the master of the Yangzhou City Limitless Martial Arts Hall, and Cao Ming, the master of the Lightning Martial Arts Hall, Wang Cheng and Zhang Zehu signed a simple agreement to ensure neither party would renege on their word after the fight.

Afterward, everyone proceeded to the Limitless Martial Arts Hall's training grounds. Amidst the curious gazes of numerous students, Wang Cheng and Zhang Zehu, each holding an unopened broadsword, walked to a spot less than twenty meters apart.

"You are both martial artists fighting for humanity, and this isn't a battle against monsters. You should both know your limits!" Wu Tong stepped between them, first issuing a warning, then stating, "Furthermore, the rules are simple: whoever falls completely first loses!"

"Don't worry, I know my limits!" Zhang Zehu swung his broadsword, sneering at Wang Cheng, "Thank you for saving me a hundred million!"

"You're welcome!" Wang Cheng beckoned to Zhang Zehu.

"Begin!" Wu Tong could clearly feel the tension between them. After saying this, he leaped far away.

Whoosh!

The instant Wu Tong's voice faded, Zhang Zehu transformed into a black blur, lunging at Wang Cheng.

Zhang Zehu, known as the "Mountain Splitting Tiger," wielded his broadsword with formidable power. However, as he charged at Wang Cheng with fierce momentum, he suddenly felt his feet snagged by something. Zhang Zehu stumbled.

Fortunately, Zhang Zehu managed to regain his balance in time; otherwise, he would have face-planted right there!

Zhang Zehu turned his head, only to see Wang Cheng standing in place, smiling at him.

"Mountain Splitting Tiger, you're quite agile to have stabilized yourself! You shouldn't be called the Mountain Splitting Tiger anymore; how about the Mountain Splitting Cat!" Wang Cheng quipped.

"You're asking for death!" Zhang Zehu roared, charging again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zhang Zehu's broadsword aimed for Wang Cheng's vital points with every strike. But unfortunately, Wang Cheng merely shifted his body slightly, dodging every attack.

"Are you only going to dodge? Fight me!" the Mountain Splitting Tiger bellowed.

"That's a strange request!" Wang Cheng chuckled. The next moment, a blade light, angled with incredible precision, flashed towards Zhang Zehu's face, sending him flying back with a bang.

"That strike!"

The onlookers from the Limitless Martial Arts Hall and the Lightning Martial Arts Hall were stunned. Luo Feng, who had limited combat experience, simply felt the strike was perfectly timed. But Wu Tong and the others understood the difficulty involved.

If they were in the same situation, they doubted they could have dodged that sudden attack.

"When did this Wang Cheng learn such swordsmanship? And his footwork, it's even better than martial artists who have mastered Micro-level footwork. Could it be that his footwork has reached the Perfect level?" Wu Tong and the others were astonished and filled with questions.

They were quite familiar with Wang Cheng and had never heard of him possessing such skills.

Even for a General-level warrior, Micro-level footwork was considered good. Perfect-level footwork was something most War Gods could only hope to achieve after years of training.

Wang Cheng, a High-level Warrior, displaying footwork that surpassed the Micro level – how could this not shock Wu Tong and the others?

"It's definitely stronger than Micro level. I wonder if it's Perfect level. If it is, that's incredible!" Wu Tong, limited by his own perspective, couldn't immediately judge Wang Cheng's footwork. However, he was filled with excitement.

After all, Wu Tong, as the chief instructor of the Yangzhou City Limitless Martial Arts Hall, bore the responsibility of discovering talented individuals!

He received considerable benefits for every talent he discovered. Having already discovered Luo Feng, Wu Tong felt he had had a profitable year. Now, unexpectedly, he had found another in Wang Cheng!

While Wu Tong was lost in thought, below, Zhang Zehu, refusing to believe it, charged forward several more times, desperate to fight Wang Cheng head-on. But each time, he was ruthlessly struck.

It was a literal face-smacking, with blow after blow landing on Zhang Zehu's face, which quickly became swollen. Soon, the members of the Lightning Martial Arts Hall couldn't bear to watch.

"Mountain Splitting Tiger, that's enough!"

Cao Ming, the chief instructor of the Lightning Martial Arts Hall, suddenly rushed into the arena and grabbed Zhang Zehu, who was still trying to charge forward.

"Wang Cheng, a spar is a spar, but this is going too far, isn't it?" Cao Ming looked at Wang Cheng, frowning.

"Zhang Zehu is a martial artist close to the General level. There's a significant gap in strength between us, so I could only win this way!" Wang Cheng smiled. "Are you asking him if he wants to concede now? If he holds on a bit longer, I might make a mistake."

Wang Cheng's words stirred Zhang Zehu, who had just calmed down. However, he wasn't a fool. After regaining his composure, he quickly realized the gap between himself and Wang Cheng!

Although Zhang Zehu wished he could kill Wang Cheng on the spot, he showed no outward reaction.

"Consider the Limitless Martial Arts Hall the winner this time. We admit defeat!" Cao Ming said with a forced smile, then directly led the members of the Lightning Martial Arts Hall away.

"A hundred million, don't forget!" Wang Cheng shouted.

"..."

They said nothing, merely quickening their pace and leaving the area rapidly.

"Haha, don't worry, with the agreement we signed earlier, they can't back out!" Wu Tong said with a hearty laugh as he walked over.

Behind him, Luo Feng, Chen Gu, and Kong Quan followed closely.

"Good heavens, Wang Cheng, when did you learn such swordsmanship and footwork?" Chen Gu and Kong Quan stared at Wang Cheng. With his incredible swordsmanship and footwork, even they, as General-level warriors, wouldn't dare claim they could defeat him.

"I trained this at home over the past few months!" Wang Cheng smiled, not elaborating further.

"At home?"

Upon hearing Wang Cheng's words, Wu Tong and the others' first reaction was disbelief. If one could train such blade techniques and movement skills at home, why would they, as martial artists, toil away fighting monsters?

Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Luo Feng's expression became even stranger. He had met Wang Cheng quite a few times over the past month, but in his memory, Wang Cheng was a rather lazy person, not someone who would train such movement and blade skills.

Of course, since Wang Cheng was unwilling to say more, the others didn't press further. After all, everyone had their own secrets!

"Right, Hall Master Wu, please keep my matter confidential for a while longer. I still want to enjoy a few peaceful days at home!" Wang Cheng suddenly said.

"You this..."

Wu Tong looked at Wang Cheng, momentarily at a loss for words. However, he eventually agreed. After all, discovering talent ultimately required the talent itself to be willing. If the talent wasn't willing, what was the point of discovering them?
