Chapter 255: Fighting Chu Wuji
The key was that someone Chu Feng's age could actually execute all nine palms of the Taiqing Palm Skill.
After all, very few in the entire Chu Family could accomplish that.
"You're Chu Yuntian's son?" Chu Wuji asked.
"I am," Chu Feng replied.
"Regarding your uncle's matter... The family had its own difficulties. We do bear a responsibility that we can't deny. I hope you can understand," Chu Wuji said.
"Heh. 'The family had its own difficulties?' Is that how you're going to brush this aside?" Chu Feng sneered.
The Patriarch had no idea what truly angered Chu Feng. In his eyes, the Chu Family's interests always came first.
But Chu Feng didn't share this view, which was precisely why he was so opposed to the Chu Family.
'A family like this wanted him to work for them? Impossible!'
"By rights of seniority, I'm of the same generation as your grandfather, so you should call me Grandfather. While the family has wronged you and your father in many ways, you still have Chu Family blood in your veins. That's why I hope you'll return to the Chu Family.
If you're willing to return, you can immediately become a Direct Lineage Disciple. You'll have the right to use any and all of the Chu Family's resources!"
The moment Chu Wuji finished speaking, the entire crowd gasped in shock. Many found it unbelievable.
The terms Chu Wuji offered were simply too generous!
A Direct Lineage Disciple with the right to use all resources... In the entire Chu Family, you could count the number of people with such status on one hand!
Many people immediately began to murmur, deeply dissatisfied. A good number of them hated Chu Feng to the bone.
Chu Feng was so arrogant, yet now he was being offered the status of a Direct Lineage Disciple. It made them all grit their teeth in frustration.
But on second thought, Chu Feng's strength was undeniable. He was so strong it left no room for argument.
He had won forty-three consecutive matches in this training ground, with no opponent lasting more than ten minutes.
Even two of the family Elders had been defeated by him.
So, it was only natural that Chu Feng would be made a Direct Lineage Disciple.
However, Chu Feng then said something that left everyone completely stunned.
"Heh. Sorry, not interested. I only came back today to see my uncle, not to join your Chu Family. Challenging you all was just something I did on the side," Chu Feng said with a cold smile.
"You refuse?" Chu Wuji's face was a mask of astonishment. He hadn't expected Chu Feng to decline.
He had assumed that after hearing his offer, Chu Feng would be overjoyed, bowing and scraping in gratitude.
However, the outcome was the complete opposite of what he had imagined.
"Why should I agree? Are your Chu Family's Direct Lineage Disciples really all that? They still can't beat me," Chu Feng sneered contemptuously.
"Do you have any idea what becoming a Direct Lineage Disciple means? The entire Chu Family could one day be yours to command!" Chu Wuji pressed, still finding it hard to believe Chu Feng would refuse.
"You talk too much. I have zero interest in the Chu Family, so cut the crap. Is there anyone else who wants to fight? Come on up. Or how about you come up and fight me?" Chu Feng said.
Chu Feng's words left everyone around him completely dumbfounded. They were stunned.
No one had expected it. Not only did this guy refuse the offer, but he even dared to challenge their Patriarch to a fight?
The man had to be crazy. Everyone knew their Patriarch was incredibly strong—he had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Only two people in the entire Chu Family had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Patriarch was one of them.
Could Chu Feng possibly win?
"Are you sure you want to fight me?" Chu Wuji asked, a look of surprise and confusion on his face. He wasn't angry.
"Of course. I can hardly wait," Chu Feng said with a smile. He had come here to test his skills; how could he pass up this opportunity?
'It was already hard enough to find powerful opponents. Now that he had such an opportunity, there was no way he would let it slip by.'
The key was that Chu Feng's current strength had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. Chu Wuji was also at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so a fight between them was sure to be satisfying.
"A fight is fine. But first, let's agree on what happens if you lose," Chu Wuji said calmly.
"If I lose, I'll be at your disposal," Chu Feng replied.
"Fine. If you lose, you will return to the Chu Family. You will not be permitted to leave without approval, and you will obey all of the family's arrangements," Chu Wuji stated.
"Fine, I agree," Chu Feng accepted without a moment's hesitation.
"And if I win?" Chu Feng asked.
"You win? Impossible." Chu Wuji burst out laughing, not believing for a second that Chu Feng could defeat him.
"Damn, this guy is arrogant! Does he really think he can beat the Patriarch?" someone exclaimed, finding it utterly unbelievable.
"This guy really doesn't know his own limits," another person complained.
None of them believed Chu Feng could beat their Patriarch. They just thought the guy was insanely arrogant for daring to issue such a challenge!
Their Patriarch was in the Foundation Establishment Realm. In their eyes, Chu Feng was at the Qi Cultivation Realm at best. How could he possibly be a match?
