Liu Feng

Yang Chen was stunned the moment he saw Chen Tianxin and the others inside the VIP Hall, and he asked with some confusion.

"Grandmaster Chen, Elder Wang, what is this?"

As he spoke, Yang Chen also noticed the young man sitting beside Chen Tianxin—a young man carrying a Blade Case on his back.

Yang Chen was quite puzzled; how could someone so young be sitting together with Chen Tianxin? One had to know that Elder Wang and the others were all seated below Chen Tianxin.

Yet, the young man's position was completely on par with Chen Tianxin!

And that young man looked to be about the same age as himself!

Who was this person, to be able to reach such a level?

Yang Chen's heart was filled with doubt.

At this moment, Chen Tianxin spoke up, "Did you kill the Flying Tiger?"

Yang Chen nodded, then said to Chen Tianxin with a hint of annoyance, "Grandmaster Chen, I really think the intelligence personnel at Number 98 need a good overhaul. They claimed the Flying Tiger was at the mid-S-rank, when it was clearly at the peak of S-rank. This is just writing nonsense intelligence!"

Chen Tianxin and Elder Wang forcibly suppressed their laughter, then coughed and said, "Ahem, we will naturally deal with the personnel responsible for intelligence. Did you bring the Flying Tiger's inner core? Take it out and let me see!"

"Oh!"

Yang Chen took the Flying Tiger's inner core out from his Space Ring.

The moment Yang Chen revealed the Space Ring, both Chen Tianxin and the young man's brows twitched in unison, and they exchanged a glance.

A Space Ring!

Chen Tianxin looked at the Space Ring glowing with a blue luster in Yang Chen's hand, a hint of contemplation in his deep pupils.

The quality of the Space Ring in Yang Chen's hand was not low!

It seemed this kid had a great stroke of fortune!

However, Chen Tianxin did not dwell on it; after all, everyone had their own opportunities, and hadn't he himself obtained many such fortunes when he was young?

Let the juniors have their own luck.

Besides, Chen Tianxin didn't really need it.

Chen Tianxin took the Flying Tiger's inner core. The moment he touched Yang Chen's fingers, he paused, looked at Yang Chen, and blurted out, "You've promoted to S-rank?"

Yang Chen nodded and said, "It seems I couldn't hide it from Grandmaster Chen. During the trip to White Tiger Mountain, I luckily promoted to S-rank; otherwise, this Flying Tiger would have been quite difficult to deal with!"

Yang Chen still withheld some facts, not revealing everything.

Yet, even so, it was enough to shock Chen Tianxin.

One had to know that when he saw Yang Chen two days ago, Yang Chen hadn't even reached the peak of A-rank. In these two days, he had actually promoted directly from A-rank to S-rank!

Moreover, in Chen Tianxin's perception, Yang Chen's foundation was extremely solid, without a hint of instability.

Hiss! This is a bit monstrous!

Chen Tianxin didn't even have the heart to look at the Flying Tiger's inner core anymore; he just kept sizing up Yang Chen, as if he had discovered a priceless treasure.

The young man seemed to have developed a bit of interest as well. His lively eyes observed Yang Chen carefully, and then his eyes brightened slightly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity. If not for a promise I made, I might have really taken you as my disciple! This is going to be someone else's gain!"

Chen Tianxin sighed, his words carrying a deeper meaning.

Yang Chen said humbly, "Grandmaster Chen is too kind to this junior!"

Elder Wang and the others also looked at Yang Chen in unison, their eyes filled with shock. Even though they were all Grandmasters or existed above the level of Grandmaster, they were still stunned after seeing the speed of Yang Chen's cultivation.

One had to know that while promoting from A-rank to S-rank was simpler than promoting to Grandmaster, it still held no small amount of difficulty!

Yet, how many days had it taken Yang Chen?

Two days!

"Ahem, he is the disciple you introduced to me, right?"

Just as everyone was plunged into shock, the young man slowly stood up, gave a dry cough, and looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen was stunned and looked at Chen Tianxin, his eyes filled with suspicion.

The master you told me about is this guy? This person who is about the same age as me?

Although Yang Chen could not discern the young man's cultivation, even if his cultivation was high, what did that matter? Being able to teach him well was what mattered most.

What could a guy about my age possibly teach me?

Yang Chen had imagined what his future master would be like more than once; perhaps an old man like Elder Wang, or a middle-aged man, but Yang Chen never expected that his master would be a young man of his own age!

As if reading Yang Chen's thoughts, Chen Tianxin said softly, "This is one of the true persons in charge of Number 98. As for why he looks like this, it's a long story, so I won't explain it. Just think of him as someone like the Tianshan Tonglao!"

Yang Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Good, he's an old monster. But for some reason, looking at the young man, Yang Chen always felt a sense of awkwardness.

The young man stepped forward, looked Yang Chen over carefully once more, and smiled. "Let me introduce myself. I am the chief person in charge of Number 98, Liu Feng. You will follow by my side from now on!"

With these words, it was clear he considered Yang Chen his disciple.

Yang Chen fidgeted for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Greetings, Master!"

"Kid, don't doubt me. Even Chen Tianxin might not be my match!"

Liu Feng watched Yang Chen's expression as he cradled his Blade Case, then gently lifted a corner of the lid. Instantly, a violent aura erupted directly from within the case.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

A terrifying power exploded in that split second. Yang Chen, being the closest, hurriedly circulated his cultivation, only to be shocked to discover that the spiritual energy in his dantian felt as if it had sunk into a quagmire; no matter how he tried to mobilize it, he could not move a single thread.

With no other choice, he activated his Flame Ability. Flames immediately covered Yang Chen's body, and only then was he able to slightly hold back that terrifying aura.

However, the furnishings inside the VIP Hall suffered; they were instantly reduced to powder by the terrifying aura, scattering throughout the hall.

Even Elder Wang and the others were forced to circulate their own cultivation just to remain safe and sound where they stood.

A moment later, the young man smiled faintly and gently closed the Blade Case.

The instant it was shut, that aura vanished, as if it had never existed at all.

The young man looked at Yang Chen and said softly, "How about it? Do you believe me now?"
