The Northern Emperor Wang Teng's terror

Wang Teng ignored his father's winks and nudges and took his leave. Staying any longer would only embarrass him. Saddled with a father like this, he suddenly felt his future looked bleak.

He knew what his father wanted: for him to defeat Ye Fan, win Ji Ziyue, and become the Ji Family's son-in-law.

The Northern Plains Wang Family would have been delighted by that outcome, but how could it be so easy? What worried Wang Teng most was that even if he won, someone might scheme against him and prevent him from leaving the Ji Family alive.

Or he might be beaten to death the moment he stepped outside.

His Nine Secrets: Qian allowed him to roughly gauge an opponent's strength before a battle. But Jiang Ming was terrifying. He could not withstand even a single punch from him.

Wang Teng found that feeling hard to believe.

When he forced Nine Secrets: Qian to divine more, he saw Jiang Ming strike with a divine ability, turning him straight into a ten-year-old brat. For a moment, he thought he was looking at his own little brother. It was a maddening, horrifying technique.

Wang Teng felt like an ordinary person who had seen a ghost.

"Why did my son Wang Teng run away?"

Watching Wang Teng leave in a hurry, Ye Fan sounded puzzled.

"Nine Secrets: Qian. Wang Teng knows that secret art. Within certain limits, it lets him predict good fortune and disaster and divine his opponents' strength."

Jiang Ming made no attempt to hide it and explained directly.

It allowed one to anticipate an enemy's moves.

In a sense, knowing oneself and one's enemy ensured victory in every battle.

But when faced with a completely unbeatable opponent, one would lose one's nerve before the fight even began.

Nine Secrets: Qian.
