Chapter 1123 - 1122: Master and Disciple Talk
"He came with a woman? This is absolutely ridiculous! Does he plan to live like a young master, having someone take care of his everyday life?"
"You wouldn’t believe it, but he really is a young master from a prominent family! Of course, he’d need to bring a nanny along when he goes out!"
"Hahaha... so funny, I really want to see what he’s capable of!"
The crowd erupted in laughter, clearly mocking Su Changfeng.
At this moment, Mu Tian and Wu Wen approached Su Changfeng. Unlike the others, they didn’t look down on him; after all, they were well aware of Su Changfeng’s strength.
The memory of being defeated by Su Changfeng was still fresh in their minds. Others might laugh at him, but they could not.
"Su Changfeng, I didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon," Mu Tian said as he walked up to Su Changfeng.
"Not really that soon, it’s been a few months since we last met. I just didn’t realize you were only Yellow Level." Su Changfeng responded lightly.
Mu Tian smiled, not perceiving Su Changfeng’s words as a jab, and simply said, "The ranking matches aren’t as easy as you think. Even at Yellow Level, there are many hidden masters. Be cautious."
"Actually, this year’s Yellow Level challenge is indeed tougher than in previous years. Many have signed up, and it’s not easy to stand out."
Wu Wen was less composed than Mu Tian. He felt agitated when Su Changfeng seemed to look down on the Yellow Level.
In response to the reminder from the master-disciple duo, Su Changfeng wasn’t unappreciative and said, "Thank you for the warning, but since I’m here, this place surely won’t hold me."
"That’s how it should be."
After exchanging a few more words, Su Changfeng followed Yang Junming to the resting area. The extreme gender imbalance in Tuo Shi meant that a sudden appearance of a woman naturally attracted a lot of attention, as if sheep were entering a wolf pack, with many eyes fixed on Chen Qingqing.
In the ordinary world, Chen Qingqing’s appearance might not be stunning, only slightly better than the average woman. But in Tuo Shi, she was undoubtedly a top beauty.
To discourage any ill-intentioned thoughts, Su Changfeng had Yang Junming find a room with two beds.
"Master, that guy actually looks down on Yellow Level. I’m curious to see if he can really get through it!" Wu Wen said resentfully after Su Changfeng left.
Mu Tian maintained his calm demeanor, saying, "You’ll likely be disappointed."
"Master, what do you mean? Do you think that guy will surely succeed?" Wu Wen asked, unconvinced.
"Ah, do you think Elder Wu is impulsive enough to take risks and invite ridicule? If he didn’t have enough confidence, would he have done this?"
"So, Su Changfeng might not succeed in the Heavenly Level match, but the Yellow Level won’t be too challenging for him," Mu Tian sighed.
Wu Wen felt even more uncomfortable upon hearing this. He had been in Tuo Shi for many years and had competed in two ranking matches, yet failed. Could Su Changfeng really be so much stronger than him, succeeding immediately?
"I don’t believe he’s that impressive. Without two years, he surely won’t succeed," Wu Wen said.
Mu Tian patted Wu Wen’s shoulder, saying, "Just accept it, his master is on a different level compared to yours. How could you possibly compare with him?"
With the ranking match due to start in five days, Yang Junming began training Su Changfeng and Chen Qingqing. Though Chen Qingqing was accompanying Su Changfeng under special circumstances, Tuo Shi’s rules wouldn’t change for anyone.
Therefore, to reach higher levels, Chen Qingqing inevitably had to participate in the ranking match.
Faced with training, Su Changfeng took it seriously. Since he was here, he needed to give it his all. While he could disregard Elder Wu’s reputation, he couldn’t neglect his own pride.
On the third day of training, at night, Chen Qingqing had already retired to rest, while Su Changfeng was meditating outside.
The moonlight gently shone down with a faint glow.
Others might think Su Changfeng was resting after tiring training, but only he knew he could clearly feel the power surging from the two head bones in his chest and resonating with the strength within, almost as if they were consciously drawing each other.
Since the first day of training, Su Changfeng had realized this, and thus conceived a bold idea to see if he could fully integrate the head bone’s power into his body.
If successful, it would greatly enhance his own power.
However, after several attempts, Su Changfeng felt frustrated. He tried numerous ways but failed each time.
Previous headaches during rest were actually signs of the head bone’s power merging into his body, but now, those feelings were gone, as if his body’s strength had reached saturation, preventing the head bone’s power from spontaneously flowing out and integrating into him.
Suddenly, Su Changfeng opened his eyes to see a woman standing before him, her figure alluring in the subdued moonlight, unconsciously drawing attention.
"Your vigilance is terrible. If I attacked, you’d be dead countless times over!" the woman said mockingly.
"We have no grudges from the past or now, you wouldn’t kill me," Su Changfeng replied.
The woman stood with her back to the moon, making it hard for Su Changfeng to see her features, yet her silhouette suggested she was a cold beauty.
The beauty wore a snug outfit emphasizing her figure, which would easily tempt most men.
The woman noticed Su Changfeng’s gaze. Most men showed obvious greed when looking at her.
But Su Changfeng was different; his gaze was clean and clear, as if he hadn’t even seen her, surprising her.
"What are you looking at?" the woman asked coldly.
"I was just thinking, your status in Tuo Shi must not be low, right?" With that, Su Changfeng stood up.
"A beauty stands before you, don’t you have any thoughts?" the woman asked. She believed Su Changfeng was concealing ungentle desires and wanted to provoke him into revealing his lustful nature.
