Chapter 1630: Challenge
There were many people from the powerful sects and clans of Gold-Fire Tower greeting the members of the Gold-Fire Tower in front of the main stage. They all wore special robes with different colors: Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, golden-red, golden-purple.
Nine different colors which each represented different social statuses. Those who were wearing red were Level One Professors, those in orange were Level Two Professors, those in golden-red were Level Eight Professors, those in golden-purple were Level Nine Weapon Manufacturing Masters. There was only one person wearing a golden-purple robe.
At that moment, the old man in the purple robe was chatting with some people happily.
That Weapon Manufacturing Master looked at a young man in a gentle way and smiled: “Yan Feng, you already received the teaching from Gold-Fire Tower. You’re a Level Two Professor already, and someday, I’ll be your teacher. I’m sure that within three years, you’ll be a Level Five Weapon Manufacturing Master.”
Yan Feng wore a Gold-Fire Tower robe, and it was orange. That was an honor to him, he felt proud to wear that robe. Soon, he’d become wearing a yellow robe!
“Master, you’re flattering me. I will do my best to make you proud.” said Yan Feng politely. He was happy that a Level Seven Professor was flattering him, but who wouldn’t?
“Haha, little boy, I’m sure you won’t let me down.” said the old man smiling. “I’ve heard that you have an agreement with the Mu Clan, is that true?”
“Indeed. Mu Lin Xue is the most beautiful girl of the Mu Clan, and she’s a very talented weapon craftswoman. If I win, we’ll get married.” said Yan Feng.
“You’re a good boy. Heroes love beautiful women, so this is only normal. I’ve heard of her, and I think you two would be a good match. I support you in this!” said the old man smiling.
“Thank you, Master.” said Yan Feng.
“Yan Feng, how come you’re saying “Master”?” asked an elder. Yan Feng bowed before the old man and said, “I’m not a powerful weapon craftsman yet, so I must be polite. I wouldn’t dare tarnish elders’ reputation. When I become strong enough, things will change.”
“Haha, I like you more and more little boy.” said the old man in the purple robe. It was as if Yan Feng had already become a protagonist of Gold-Fire Tower.
“Master, I need to get ready for the tournament.” said Yan Feng politely. The old man in purple clothes nodded, “Go, don’t disappoint us.”
“I won’t.” said Yan Feng, walking away and smiling.
“The Mu Clan is here.” said a member of the Yan Clan who was gazing into the distance.
“Let’s go and greet them.” said an old man from the Yan Clan smiling. Just after he said that, the Mu Clan landed.
“Brother Mu, I trust you have been doing well since we last met.” said the leader of the Yan Clan smiling.
“You’re early.” said the leader of the Mu Clan smiling. Even though he was smiling, it was difficult to see what he was really thinking.
“Let’s go and have a chat. Yan Feng and Lin Xue haven’t seen each other for a while, so let’s leave the young people alone.” said the leader of the Yan Clan. It sounded like he was forcing them, leaving the leader of the Mu Clan in a position where he couldn’t refuse.
Yan Feng went to Mu Lin Xue.
“Lin Xue, it won’t be long before you become my wife!” said Yan Feng. He had been waiting for this day for a long time now.
“You’re ridiculous!” said Mu Lin Xue in a cold way.
“You have no choice because you’re absolutely going to lose. And after that, you’ll become my wife and you we will live together.” said Yan Feng. Then, he looked at Lin Feng, instantly looking furious.
“I remember back then, I told you not to stand next to my wife.” said Yan Feng, coldly.
“He’s my assistant and we’re going to participate in the tournament as a team.” Mu Lin Xue retorted.
“He can’t be your assistant.” said Yan Feng coldly. Then he looked at Lin Feng and said, “Talk!”
Lin Feng frowned and asked Mu Lin Xue, “Lin Xue, is it safe to be here at the Gold-Fire Tower?”
The Yan Clan was in the northern part of Gold-Fire City, and they had a lot of influence. So, Lin Feng had to make sure that they wouldn’t have another run-in as they did in the marketplace.
“Gold-Fire Tower guarantees the safety of those who rank in the top ten.” said Mu Lin Xue. Gold-Fire Tower was an important institution in Gold-Fire City, so if anyone got hurt in one of their tournaments, then they might lose participants in future competitions.
Therefore, the rule was that those who ranked in the top ten couldn’t be killed, otherwise, they’d become enemies with Gold-Fire Tower.
“Oh.” Lin Feng nodded and smiled at Yan Feng indifferently, “Piss off!”
Yan Feng was astonished, he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. Lin Feng was telling him to… piss off?
“In the northern part of Gold-Fire City, nobody has ever told me to piss off, even in the entire city.” said Yan Feng provocatively. Just who did Lin Feng think he was?
“Lin Xue, let’s go.” said Lin Feng, smiling at Mu Lin Xue. Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed hers.
“Right.” Mu Lin Xue smiled in a resplendent way and held hands with Lin Feng. Then, they passed in front of Yan Feng and walked away.
Yan Feng was furious. He was proud, and Lin Feng had ignored him. Besides, he was taking his future wife away!
When the crowd saw Lin Feng and Mu Lin Xue holding hands, they finally understood what was going on.
“Who’s that? He dares flirt with Yan Feng’s future wife.” they thought.
“Yan Feng understands cosmic energies already, it won’t be long before he breaks through to the Huang Qi layer.” thought more people.
Members from the Yan Clan frowned, some of them even looked upset.
“Brother Mu, why are your people humiliating Yan Feng?” asked the leader of the Yan Clan in a cold way.
“Lin Xue!” shouted the leader of the Mu Clan.
Mu Lin Xue turned her head and said, “I know what I’m doing and will bear responsibility for my actions. If the Mu Clan wants to expel me, then I won’t object.”
Mu Lin Xue had waited for that day for a long time, just like Yan Feng. She knew how strong Lin Feng was when it came to deployment spells, so she didn’t care about the Mu Clan’s influence any more.
“You…” the leader of the Mu Clan was furious. He glanced at Lin Feng and said, “You’re shameless!”
“Muyi’s request is difficult.” thought Lin Feng. Because of Mu Lin Xue’s social status, saving her was becoming even more difficult. He had to rank in the top ten, otherwise, nobody would protect him. Not to mention he had to beat Yan Feng.
“I’ve always been audacious.” said Lin Feng shrugging. He didn’t know what else to say at this point. The tournament hadn’t even started he had already offended two groups. It’s almost as if he was cursed to upset other people.
“Boom!” A terrifying fire started burning on Yan Feng’s robes. He was standing in the sky above Lin Feng, just one step away from killing him.
“Lin Xue, what is he doing?” asked Lin Feng, pointing at Yan Feng.
“I don’t know.” said Mu Lin Xue shrugging. They looked at Yan Feng just like they’d look at a monkey in a zoo.
