Liu Yiming's challenge

Transcendent Administration Bureau.

Extraordinary Cage.

Mortal entry stage three area.

Hurried footsteps rang out.

Click-

The iron door opened with a clank.

"Liu, that guy is here!"

Zhang San spoke as he looked at the bare-chested, muscular Liu Yiming before him.

Liu Yiming merely nodded calmly. "Mm, got it. Is he very arrogant?"

"Exactly! That guy is arrogant! He needs to be put in his place! Hurry over, Liu." Zhang San urged him on.

Liu Yiming shook his head and glanced at him. "Didn't the director say yesterday that we should treat him with the same respect we'd show the director? If I went over to teach Shen Fei a lesson now, wouldn't that be disrespecting the director? I'm not going."

What a joke. If I offended the director, how would I keep getting by in the Transcendent Administration Bureau?

Zhang San chuckled.

Fucking coward! Before the guy showed up, you were acting all high and mighty, like nobody in the world could beat you! Now that he's here, you've fucking chickened out?! Fuck... Zhang San viciously cursed him inwardly.

"Liu, you're not scared, are you? Well... Shen Fei really is impressive. He tore a mortal entry stage three fierce beast clean in half with nothing but his physical strength."

Zhang San muttered to himself, though his voice was a little loud.

He turned around. "You're only at mortal entry stage three yourself, Liu. It's normal to be afraid of Shen Fei... The guys outside all understand. I'll be going."

Behind him, Liu Yiming's eyes flashed as he sat cross-legged. He narrowed his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Is that true? Shen Fei really killed a mortal entry stage three fierce beast instantly with just his physical strength?!"

Even he, at the peak of level nine of mortal entry stage three, couldn't instantly kill an ordinary mortal entry stage three fierce beast through physical strength alone!

Yet Shen Fei had done it? What did that mean? It meant Shen Fei's strength was unfathomable and immensely powerful!

A strange smile appeared on Zhang San's turned-away face.

"It's true. Li Hongyu and the other two said it themselves."

Riiip-

Liu Yiming stood up.

An intense fighting spirit had already appeared in his eyes.

"Very good. Let's see whether this Shen Fei really is that impressive!"

Liu Yiming was a belligerent man, a man who craved battle.

He yearned to face powerful opponents, but the truly powerful people in the Transcendent Administration Bureau were currently all away. He didn't know that, however, and assumed he was the strongest person in the bureau.

So he felt something of the loneliness of an unrivaled master.

Before, he had only considered Shen Fei a genius, not a powerful fighter. He had merely intended to teach this genius a lesson and deal him a blow.

Now that he had heard Shen Fei's fighting strength was actually so great, even greater than his own, his fighting spirit had been ignited.

He had to fight Shen Fei!

With that thought, Liu Yiming strode outside.

Shen Fei, I'm coming. I will defeat you... It had been a long time since Liu Yiming had felt such a surge of fighting spirit.

Transcendent Plaza.

Shen Fei couldn't muster any interest in these people at all.

They were too weak.

At a glance, they were all about as strong as the wolf pack he had encountered last night...

Simply put, a single Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique could kill them all instantly...

Weren't they just ants?

The more this was the case, the more Shen Fei disdained them.

"Hey, do you feel like this Shen Fei is looking down on us?"

"I noticed. It's just like the way I look at ants..."

"No way. We're all transcendents with esper abilities, after all..."

"Damn, his gaze is terrifying. One look at him and I start trembling, like I've fallen into an ice cellar. It feels like I haven't got any strength left in my body."

"..."

Sensing something wrong with the atmosphere, Li Hongyu hurriedly said, "It's still very early. Why don't we go to the cafeteria for breakfast first? Afterward, we'll take you to test your talent and spiritual power value."

As Li Hongyu spoke, he had already unconsciously adopted a respectful form of address...

Such was the power of a commanding presence: it could subtly change the people around you.

Bian Zhuyue and Dong Rouwan nodded in agreement.

Then they turned their eyes toward Shen Fei.

Shen Fei nodded.

He might as well take the free meal.

Soon, Li Hongyu and the other two brought Shen Fei to the Transcendent Cafeteria.

There were also many people eating breakfast here.

Some turned to look at Shen Fei's group.

"Huh, is that the Shen Fei the director mentioned? Holy shit, what a commanding presence... I can't even look him in the eye..."

"He's wearing battle armor from the Warring States Period. So cool, seriously so cool..."

"You can tell at a glance that this Shen Fei is absolutely a genius among geniuses. Just standing here, he naturally gives off an imposing aura..."

For a moment, Shen Fei's arrival filled the entire cafeteria with a sense of pressure.

It made people very uncomfortable.

Shen Fei paid them no attention and sat in an empty seat.

Li Hongyu and the other two sat at another table.

Soon, a serving of food was delivered to Shen Fei's table.

A simple meal.

The entire cafeteria was utterly silent.

There was only the sound of Shen Fei chewing.

Suddenly, a voice shattered the cafeteria's strange atmosphere.

"Where's Shen Fei?!"

A muscular man came down the passage, sweeping his gaze across the cafeteria.

Soon, his gaze settled on Shen Fei.

After all, Shen Fei wore battle armor from the Warring States Period, and a huge Uchiha Gunbai stood beside his table. He was hard to miss.

The people around them discussed it quietly.

"Damn, it's Liu Yiming. What's he here for? Is he here to cause trouble for Shen Fei?"

"No way. He won't even show the director any respect? Besides, you can tell this Shen Fei is no ordinary guy!"

"Who cares? We've got a good show to watch."

"I bet Liu Yiming will win for sure."

"Me too. Shen Fei may be a genius, but he's only at mortal entry stage three at most. He can't possibly compare with Liu Yiming. After all, Liu Yiming is just one step away from advancing to mortal entry stage four."

"Ah, poor Shen Fei. That cold, aloof look is going to turn into a sorry sight soon."

Shen Fei also put down his chopsticks and bowl.

Of course, this wasn't because Shen Fei was wary of him or afraid of him,

but because he had finished breakfast.

Yet in some people's eyes, it meant something different.

Shen Fei put down his bowl and chopsticks as soon as he heard Liu Yiming's voice? Looks like he's wary of Liu Yiming too. In that case, Shen Fei's actual fighting strength is very likely lower than Liu Yiming's. In other words, Shen Fei hasn't reached mortal entry stage four... Li Hongyu analyzed inwardly.

Hehe, that annoying Liu Yiming is here. Looks like a good show is about to begin... But is Liu Yiming really this bold? He won't even take the director's words seriously... Dong Rouwan was ready to watch the show.

That awful Liu Yiming. Why did he have to come now... All he knows is how to bully people... Bian Zhuyue inwardly protested the unfair treatment of Shen Fei, feeling very displeased with Liu Yiming.

He strode up to Shen Fei and snorted coldly.

"Shen Fei! I challenge you!"
