Wan Hongzhuang

Chapter 62 Dragon and Tiger Struggle

However, Wan Lei was quite satisfied with Qi Manyao. This little informant was very dutiful. It seemed that there was a lot of information from the Ferryman of Heavenly Tribulation.

After speaking, Qi Manyao clapped her hands and said triumphantly, "I've told you about seven of the eight great families. I don't need to introduce the young prodigy of the last family, right?"

"Although the previous seven prodigies are powerful, they would be suppressed by this person with one hand. The strength of this person is such that even if those seven great prodigies joined forces, they would not gain any advantage."

Indeed, there was no need for further introduction. Only the Wan family remained, and the most outstanding prodigy of the Wan family was naturally Wan Liuchuan, who had advanced triumphantly all the way, sweeping away all enemies, and achieved the myth of Core Formation at the mere age of sixteen.

Indeed, even if those seven joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for Wan Liuchuan now.

Suddenly, Qi Manyao lowered her head slightly, brought her small face close to Wan Lei's, and said with a playful smile and a hint of coquetry:

"However, because Wan Liuchuan has already broken through to the Core Formation stage, the major forces no longer regard him as a prodigy, but as a powerhouse.

"So, the position of the Wan family's number one prodigy has become vacant, and the major families have a unified candidate. Do you know... who is the Wan family's new number one prodigy?"

This stumped Wan Lei. The only powerful member of the Wan family he knew was Wan Liuchuan. Could it be that there was a prodigy in the main mansion who was second only to Wan Liuchuan?

"You don't know, do you? Then I'll tell you."

Qi Manyao walked with an exaggerated gait, a smug smile on her face, looking extremely cute.

"This person used to be a纨绔 (wán kù) who did all kinds of evil, and was despised by everyone for having no cultivation, a complete waste. But a month ago, he suddenly rose up, and his cultivation advanced at an incredible speed.

"Various forces speculate that this person has been enduring all along in order to protect himself.

"In the past month, he defeated Wan Jin with the sixth layer of the Initial Force Realm, defeated hundreds of Initial Force Realm students with the ninth layer of the Initial Force Realm, killed three Foundation Establishment experts from the Duanmu family with the Foundation Establishment Lower Stage, and even joined forces with Wan Liuchuan to complete the feat of killing a Core Formation expert with Foundation Establishment cultivation."

Speaking of this, Qi Manyao brought her face closer to Wan Lei again, her mouth raised high, and said, "Do you know who this person is?"

Qi Manyao's cheeks were only two fingers away from Wan Lei. The faint orchid fragrance of the girl, along with her breath, came to Wan Lei's face and entered his nose.

Wan Lei's face flushed, he quickly took two steps back, and said with a dry smile, "Am I that powerful in the eyes of other forces?"

Qi Manyao didn't know that Wan Lei retreated because he was shy, she only thought that he was embarrassed by her praise.

So she said casually, "Anyway, that's what our intelligence says. I only found out after reading the intelligence that you are so powerful now."

"It seems that I was right to disguise myself this time. Otherwise, if I was seen by other families, I would be swarmed and hacked to death in minutes."

Wan Lei said with some relief.

Hearing this, Qi Manyao glanced at Wan Lei in surprise and said, "Oh, I really didn't see that you have the noble virtue of being unperturbed by honor or disgrace. Ordinary people who have been suppressed for so many years, once they rise up and are regarded as a prodigy, would probably be elated and want to paste their names on their faces wherever they go, for fear that others wouldn't know.

"But you're just the opposite, afraid of being recognized."

"Living is the most important thing. Many young prodigies don't realize this and are too arrogant, and die young.

"I have many noble virtues. You'll know when you get in touch with me more in the future."

Wan Lei said with a smile.

"Bah, dead wán kù (wán kù), you're full of flaws!"

Qi Manyao spat and said.

"Look, the Wan family is here."

Sui Xiaohang suddenly pointed to the north and said.

Wan Lei and Qi Manyao looked over, and saw more than twenty people flying from the north. The four leading them were Wan Hongxin, Wan Honglin, Wan Liuchuan, and Liu Dehuai, the vice president of the Xinxing Academy whom Wan Lei had met once.

The twenty people behind them were probably the young disciples of the Wan family's five mansions.

As soon as the Wan family appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the entire mountain range. They all knew that with the arrival of the Wan family, the two prefectures and eight great families were complete, and the competition would be very fierce.

Of course, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Wan Hongxin and Wan Liuchuan.

Wan Hongxin was the number one prodigy of the older generation, and the strongest of the Wan family's Southern Mansion, with peak Core Formation cultivation.

Wan Liuchuan was the number one prodigy of the younger generation, and had created countless myths. Of course, anyone could see that the achievements Wan Liuchuan could achieve in the future would definitely surpass Wan Hongxin. After all, he was only sixteen years old this year.

The impact and pressure these two people gave was too great, and they almost harvested everyone's jealousy and hostility.

Wan Hongxin stood at the front and said to the crowd on the mountain range, "This time the cave opens, my Wan family aims to train young people. If there is any competition at that time, I hope you fellow Daoists will be merciful and accommodating. Wan Hongxin thanks you here."

Although Wan Hongxin's words were polite, they were extremely domineering. The implication was that you had better not think about the things my Wan family is interested in, otherwise, don't blame Wan Hongxin for being merciless.

After speaking, Wan Hongxin scanned the audience, and the entire mountain range was silent.

He seemed to be warning everyone, but in fact, his eyes were always searching for Wan Lei's figure. Unfortunately, Wan Lei was disguised, and he couldn't find him.

"Lei-shao, I now realize that your father is even better at pretending than Wan Liuchuan. He deserves to be an old-fashioned prodigy, a master of pretending."

Sui Xiaohang looked at Wan Hongxin's figure and smacked his lips in wonder.

Of course, Wan Hongxin was so arrogant that someone would naturally be dissatisfied, especially the Duanmu family, who had always been at odds with the Wan family.

Everyone is a big force and a big family, why are you so awesome? I don't accept it!

So, someone from the Duanmu family stood up.

It was a Core Formation expert. He flew into the air, looked at Wan Hongxin and snorted coldly, "Brother Hongxin's words are different. Since you said that it is for the young juniors to compete, then what are you, an old Core Formation elder, doing here?

"In the juniors' fight, death and injury are inevitable. If you are merciful everywhere, how can there be a tempering effect?

"What's more, why are only your Wan family's juniors allowed to compete, and no one else is allowed to compete? Isn't your Wan family bullying people too much?"

"Oh? What do you mean by that, Brother Duanmu? Wan has never had this intention. Naturally, it is to compete fairly. Could it be that Brother Duanmu thinks that your family's juniors are not as good as my Wan family, so you stand up to speak for them?"

Wan Hongxin sneered.

At this time, Duanmu Ao, who was dressed in colorful clothes as if he was wearing a big cotton quilt, walked out shaking his head and holding a fan.

"This junior Duanmu Ao of the Duanmu family, greets Senior Wan."

Duanmu Ao said with clasped hands.
