Invincible Among My Peers! Why Fear the World's Coldness?

Once Ning Fengzhi displayed his extraordinary methods, his gaze shifted to Chen Feng.

The light in his eyes flickered uncertainly.

Merely being stared at brought immense pressure.

It was the piercing gaze of one in power; even many adults would grow uneasy and restless beneath it.

Let alone a mere young boy.

Yet, a shocking sight appeared.

Facing the overwhelming pressure, Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged.

Not only was he unafraid, he even felt like laughing.

"Haha, Sect Master Ning, you should save such tactics for scheming against Crown Prince Xue Qinghe!"

"Impudent!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes blazed with anger as he shouted, "How dare you speak to me like that?!"

Though he was usually approachable and amiable, that appearance was merely for those beneath him to see.

Otherwise, how could he win people over?

But the dignity of a sect master could not be offended!

Not even by Sword Douluo's grandson!

How else could he command respect?

"Sect Master Ning, Xiao Feng is still young and did not watch his words." Chen Xin spoke calmly. "Why not hear what he has to say?"

The elders present were utterly stunned!

Mad! They had truly gone mad!

Chen Feng had mocked and defied the sect master, and even Sword Douluo was protecting his grandson.

Could it be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was truly about to change?!

Chen Feng's gaze remained calm as he said lightly, "Sect Master Ning, don't misunderstand. That remark wasn't directed at you."

After a pause, he looked at the young men and women around him and said softly, "I am invincible among my peers! Why should I fear the world's coldness?!"

"Give me three years—who among you will stand above me?!"

The moment those words fell, everyone was utterly aghast!

"How arrogant!"

Boom!

The expressions of the elders changed drastically.

Anyone whose juniors were mocked so openly would likely be unable to remain calm.

What was more, they all knew something of Chen Feng.

Meanwhile, the sect's youths flushed red to their necks, burning with anger.

"Feng Ge! That's far too arrogant!"

"Your strength may not be weak, but I think we'd be evenly matched!"

"Chen Feng, perhaps you don't know this, but you've spent all this time pursuing Rong Rong. Your cultivation has long fallen behind!"

"..."

These young men and women were at the age when their blood ran hot. How could they endure such humiliation?

What did he mean by invincible among his peers?

Did he not even regard them as worthy of notice?!

Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes widened, her face full of shock.

"Is this... still that timid and submissive Chen Feng from before?"

Since when had he become so arrogant?!

Back then, Chen Feng had not even dared to speak loudly in front of her!

At that moment, a burly young man with thick bones stepped out from the crowd and sneered, "Chen Feng, has it been so long since we sparred that you've started getting cocky?"

The burly youth was named Gu Zhan, the grandson of Bone Douluo, Gu Rong.

His martial soul was a mutated Bone Dragon!

His attacks were incomparably cunning, having inherited Bone Douluo's elusive style!

Within the sect, few were willing to spar with him.

For no other reason than that he was simply too troublesome to deal with.

Thus, he often considered himself the number one of the sect's younger generation!

In truth, Gu Zhan and the other youths had been watching from the side for quite some time, and they were already displeased.

He even dared to defy Sect Master Ning?

Where had he gotten the nerve!

In Gu Zhan's heart, he had always regarded Sect Master Ning as his role model.

He would not allow anyone to show him disrespect!

When Chen Feng brazenly declared himself invincible among his peers, these hot-blooded youths could no longer hold themselves back.

In the center of the hall.

Gu Zhan walked up to Chen Feng and sneered, "Chen Feng! Your strength truly isn't weak, but that doesn't mean no one can suppress you!"

His gaze was razor-sharp as he stared at Chen Feng and said, "Since you claim to be invincible among your peers, let me see what you've got!"

"If you lose, apologize to Rong Rong and Sect Master Ning! And you are not allowed to leave the sect!"

Gu Zhan calculated inwardly that this would give him a fine chance to show himself off!

Perhaps Sect Master Ning would value him even more and entrust him with important responsibilities!

At the thought, excitement surged through him.

Being valued by his role model was an immense honor!

At that moment, Gu Zhan looked toward Ning Rongrong. Seeing the strange gleam in her beautiful eyes, he thought, Perhaps Rong Rong will like me too!

With that thought, the way he looked at Chen Feng gained a trace of contempt.

How could Rong Rong possibly fancy such a shameless way of pursuing her!

The one Rong Rong liked had to be someone like the sect master, a man radiating personal charm from head to toe!

As for the possibility of being defeated by Chen Feng?

He had never even considered it!

Chen Feng's Soul Power was at level twenty-eight, while he was already a level-thirty Soul Elder.

If he could still lose under those circumstances, he might as well smash his head against a wall and die!

Thinking of this, he became incomparably confident.

Hearing Gu Zhan's challenge, Chen Feng's expression turned strange. He glanced at him and snorted with laughter. "Are you sick? Why would I fight you when I've got nothing better to do?"

Did he take him for an idiot?

He had come today to leave the sect!

Fight one of the sect's juniors?

He could not even be bothered. At the very least, his enemies had to be someone like Tang San, didn't they?

The only reason he had declared himself invincible among his peers was to respond to Ning Fengzhi.

"Huh??" Gu Zhan was filled with question marks.

What was going on?

He refused?

Gu Zhan immediately grew anxious. "How can you refuse? Are you scared?!"

"Boring." Chen Feng could not even be bothered to look at him.

"No, you have to accept! If you win, I... I'll..." Gu Zhan stammered for a long while before gritting his teeth and saying, "If you can defeat me, I'll leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with you!"

The people present nearly had their jaws drop on the spot.

Gu Rong's brow twitched. For some reason, someone who had always loved plotting against others suddenly felt as though he were being plotted against.

Yet after thinking it over carefully, he could not figure out where the problem lay.

Chen Feng's strength was no secret.

On the contrary, Gu Zhan had only broken through to level thirty Soul Elder not long ago!

Gu Rong had personally taken him to the Star Dou Great Forest, selecting carefully before allowing Gu Zhan to absorb a powerful Soul Ring!

How could the gap of a Thousand Year Soul Ring possibly be bridged?

With that thought, he dismissed the last trace of worry in his heart.

Hearing Gu Zhan's words, Chen Feng's expression shifted slightly. He was actually somewhat interested now.

There was someone rushing to offer him benefits?

"Fine. I accept your challenge."

The instant his words fell, Gu Zhan launched a thunderous strike.

"You fell for it, Chen Feng! I'm already a Soul Elder!"

Without giving Chen Feng time to react, Gu Zhan burst into action.

Three Soul Rings suddenly lit up around him: yellow, yellow, purple!

The final purple Soul Ring was especially eye-catching.

The gorgeous deep-purple Soul Ring drew cries of surprise and envy from the youths present.

Judging by its quality, the soul beast he had hunted was at least two thousand years old!

At the same time, a Purple Demon Dragon stretching dozens of meters long soared from behind Gu Zhan!

Immediately afterward, the third resplendent purple Soul Ring lit up.

"Soul Skill, Demonic Dragon Dance!"

The Purple Demon Dragon, mutated from a Bone Dragon, instantly transformed into a whirlwind and swept forward!

Even the sect elders present were alarmed by that violent force!

A mutated martial soul combined with such a terrifying offensive soul skill—was this truly strength that an entry-level Soul Elder could unleash?
