Reincarnation Alchemists
chapter 55
Was he going to admit defeat to the Ling Clan in public?
“The reason why I invited you all tonight here is to introduce someone to you,” Cheng Wen Kun started.
When these words sounded, everyone present wore blank expressions.
What the hell is going on here? Wasn't the Cheng Clan supposed to admit defeat from the Ling Clan? How could this be someone's reception banquet? If they had known earlier, most of the guests would not have attended this banquet.
“Shua,” the attention of the guests all switched focus to Ling Dong Xing. Now that the Cheng Clan had made such a move, then the person bearing that burden would naturally become the Clan Head of the Ling Clan. They want to see how he will react.
But what invited the disappointment of most of the guests was the fact that Ling Dong Xing's face still maintained a calm smile, as if he didn't care.
Cheng Wen Kun continued to speak, “This person will be my nephew, Cheng Xiao Yuan, who left the clan at the age of thirteen to become a disciple of one of the Elders of the Stone Wolf Sect. Now that he had become a little skilled, he had returned for a family visit. ”
The Stone Wolf Sect!
Everyone present was in shock. The Stone Wolf Sect was the overlord within thousands of miles around it, and held supreme power over dozens of cities - including Gray Cloud Town. They could be considered as the ultimate local tyrant. Cheng Wen Kun suddenly revealed this hidden card clearly meant that he had no plans to admit defeat to the Ling Clan. Instead, he planned to use the Stone Wolf Sect to suppress the Ling Clan.
However, no matter how it was, Cheng Xiao Yuan was only a disciple of one of the Elders of the Stone Wolf Sect, so his abilities should be very limited, right?
“Xiao Yuan is also very lucky to invite highly respected honored guests!” Cheng Wen Kun smiled. This is his original trump card, “Let's welcome Chen Feng Lie, Elder Chen!”
Older!
The Stone Wolf Sect Elder? It was a powerful existence in the Gushing Spring Tier!
Cheng Wen Kun took the lead in a welcoming applause, and in succession, all the other guests joined in applause. At this moment, an old man walked out of the living room and appeared in their midst. He had a medium-sized figure and was clad completely in vermilion. He had full black hair and a reddish complexion that shone with a strange light.
Behind the old man meticulously followed a young man, whose hand was held to the side and whose eyebrows were lowered, presenting an extremely respectful image.
Without a doubt, this old man was definitely Chen Feng Lie, whereas that young man was definitely Cheng Xiao Yuan.
Chen Feng Lie walked towards the host table and, as if there was no one else around, sat down, appearing extremely arrogant. But no one dared to express disapproval towards this kind of attitude from him, as he was a powerful warrior in the Gushing Spring Tier. Even if the man was only at the first layer of the Gushing Spring Tier, he would be able to easily dominate someone at the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Tier. This is the strict rule of martial arts.
He did not speak a word for a while. In his eyes, this was a natural sequence of various events. There was absolutely no one here who deserved to talk to him — in case Cheng Xiao Yuan did not beg and ask for it for days, he would not even be deigned to show his face at such a situation.
Cheng Xiao Yuan did not sit down with Chen Feng Lie at the host's table. Instead, he made his way to sit next to Cheng Xiang grandly.
This person was at the Element Collection Level. He shouldn't have broken through for too long, as he was still at the first layer of the Element Gathering Tier.
“Young Brother Xiang, I heard you had a fight with someone a few days ago and lost?” Cheng Xiao Yuan asked Cheng Xiang.
“I'm less skilled than my opponent, ai!” Cheng Xiang sighed.
“Oh?” Cheng Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, and said, “Who did you lose to? I want to see this guy! ”
“Hehe, he seems far away, but is actually close!” Cheng Xiang's gaze turned towards Ling Han.
“So, you lost to this young genius?” Cheng Xiao Yuan smiled coldly, also looked at Ling Han, and said in challenge, “Do you dare to argue with me?”
These cousin cousins continue their fun-filled banter. How could the others not see that this was a deliberate challenge aimed at Ling Han?
The corner of Cheng Xiang's lips lifted slightly, and said in a high manner, “I forgot to mention, this cousin of mine just broke through to the Element Gathering Tier last year, and now he was about to reach the peak of the first layer of a Tier Element Gathering; it could even be said that he was an incredible genius. ”
Meanwhile, Cheng Xiao Yuan smiled humbly, and said, “I just broke through the Element Gathering Tier at twenty years old, so I cannot be considered an outstanding genius. I was one step ahead of most people. ”
When they heard him say this, the others sitting at the banquet table all had shocked expressions.
Element Collection Level!
Even though Cheng Xiang was at the ninth layer of the Body Refining Tier and was only nineteen years old, to advance such a big step forward would require at least three, five years – or maybe even will not be achieved for life. Thus, Cheng Xiao Yuan was acting too simply. A person who had broken through to the Element Gathering Tier at the age of twenty definitely deserved to be called a genius.
Of course, praise “genius amazing” a little excessive. After all, Gray Cloud Town was still too small, so anyone who displayed a bit of outstanding talent would be referred to as “jenius”.
A common knowledge of martial arts is that the difference in levels is a gap that is almost impossible to break during a fight.
Everyone looked at Ling Han, wondering how this fellow would resolve the difficulties he was currently facing.
If he accepted the challenge, then he would definitely lose. Cheng Xiao Yuan might even kill him — with the Elder of the Stone Wolf Sect present, what did he not dare to do? But if he did not accept the challenge, then the reputation he had worked so hard to build would collapse. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
