Liu Feng

The moment Yang Chen saw Chen Tianxin and the others in the VIP Hall, he was completely dumbfounded. He asked, utterly confused,

"Grandmaster Chen, Elder Wang, what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, Yang Chen also noticed the young man sitting beside Chen Tianxin, the one with a Blade Case strapped to his back.

Yang Chen was puzzled. How could someone so young sit alongside Chen Tianxin? Elder Wang and the others were all seated below Chen Tianxin.

But the young man was sitting on equal footing with Chen Tianxin!

And he looked about the same age as Yang Chen!

Who was this guy, to be treated like that?

Yang Chen was full of questions.

Just then, Chen Tianxin spoke. "Did you kill the Flying Tiger?"

Yang Chen nodded, then complained to Chen Tianxin, "Grandmaster Chen, I really think Number 98's intelligence staff needs a thorough shake-up. They said the Flying Tiger was only at the mid-S-Class level, when it was clearly at the peak of S-Class. Their reports are complete nonsense!"

Chen Tianxin and Elder Wang barely managed to hold back their laughter. Then Chen Tianxin coughed and said, "Ahem. We'll deal with the staff responsible for intelligence, of course. Did you bring the Flying Tiger's core? Take it out and let me have a look."

"Oh!"

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

The instant Yang Chen revealed his Space Ring, Chen Tianxin and the young man both raised their eyebrows in unison and exchanged a glance.

A Space Ring!

Chen Tianxin studied the blue-glowing Space Ring in Yang Chen's hand, a hint of thoughtfulness in his deep-set eyes.

The Space Ring in Yang Chen's hand was high quality!

Looks like this kid had stumbled upon a great opportunity!

Still, Chen Tianxin didn't dwell on it. Everyone had their own opportunities. Hadn't he himself encountered plenty when he was young?

Let the youngsters have their opportunities.

Besides, Chen Tianxin didn't really need one.

Chen Tianxin took the Flying Tiger's core. The moment his fingers touched Yang Chen's, he froze again. Looking at Yang Chen, he blurted out, "You've reached S-Class?"

Yang Chen nodded. "I guess I can't hide it from you, Grandmaster Chen. I was lucky enough to reach S-Class during my trip to White Tiger Mountain. Otherwise, that Flying Tiger would have been a bit difficult to handle!"

Yang Chen still kept some details to himself instead of telling them everything.

Even so, it was enough to shock Chen Tianxin.

After all, when he'd seen Yang Chen two days ago, Yang Chen hadn't even reached the peak of A-Class. And now, in just two days, he'd gone from A-Class to S-Class!

What's more, Chen Tianxin could sense that Yang Chen's foundation was extremely solid, with not the slightest hint of instability.

Tsk! That was downright monstrous!

Chen Tianxin had completely lost interest in examining the Flying Tiger's core. He simply kept sizing Yang Chen up, as if he'd discovered a priceless treasure.

The young man seemed interested too. His lively eyes carefully examined Yang Chen, then lit up slightly.

"Tsk, what a pity. If I hadn't made a promise, I might really have taken you as my disciple! Someone's going to get lucky!"

Chen Tianxin sighed, his words carrying a deeper meaning.

Yang Chen replied humbly, "You flatter me, Grandmaster Chen."

Elder Wang and the others all turned to look at Yang Chen as well, their eyes filled with shock. Even though they were all Grandmasters or above, Yang Chen's rate of progress still left them stunned.

After all, advancing from A-Class to S-Class was easier than reaching Grandmaster, but it was still no easy feat!

And how many days had Yang Chen taken?

Two days!

"Ahem. He's the disciple you introduced to me, right?"

While everyone was still stunned, the young man slowly stood up. He cleared his throat and looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen froze and looked at Chen Tianxin, suspicion in his eyes.

This is the master you told me about? This guy, who's about my age?

Although Yang Chen couldn't see the young man's cultivation, so what if it was high? The most important thing was whether he could teach Yang Chen well.

What could someone around his age possibly teach him?

Yang Chen had imagined what his future master might be like more than once. Perhaps an old man like Elder Wang, or maybe a middle-aged man. But he'd never imagined his master would be a young man about his own age!

As if he'd seen right through Yang Chen's thoughts, Chen Tianxin said gently, "This is one of the actual people in charge of Number 98. As for why he looks like this, that's a long story. I won't explain it. Just think of him as someone like Tianshan Child Granny!"

Only then did Yang Chen feel slightly relieved. Good, he was an old monster. But for some reason, Yang Chen still felt uncomfortable whenever he looked at the young man.

The young man stepped forward, then gave Yang Chen another careful look and smiled. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Liu Feng, the person in charge of Number 98. From now on, you'll stay by my side!"

That was clearly his way of accepting Yang Chen as his disciple.

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

"Kid, you don't need to doubt me. Even Chen Tianxin might not be a match for me!"

Looking at Yang Chen, Liu Feng held his Blade Case and gently lifted one corner of it. At once, a violent aura erupted from within.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Terrifying power burst forth in an instant. Yang Chen was the closest, and he hurriedly circulated his cultivation. But to his horror, the spiritual energy in his dantian seemed trapped in a quagmire. No matter how he tried, he couldn't move it.

With no other choice, he activated his Flame Ability. Flames immediately enveloped his body, barely managing to hold back that terrifying aura.

But the furnishings in the VIP Hall weren't so lucky. The terrible aura reduced them to dust, scattering it throughout the hall.

Even Elder Wang and the others had to activate their cultivation just to remain unharmed.

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

The instant it shut, the aura vanished as if it had never appeared.

The young man looked at Yang Chen and asked softly, "Well? Do you believe me now?"

To be continued!
