Chapter 25: You Seriously Dared to Brag Like That!
“Brother Xuan, save me.”
“Wu Song, don’t hit the face. Today, Ximen the Fatty needs to receive guests; it will ruin the image.”
“Alright, Field Master.”
“I am of Top Grade Bloodline, I have extremely strong aptitude…”
Smack!
“Idiot, you have the worst talent here.” Wu Song sneered coldly, using both fists and feet to viciously strike Ximen the Fatty.
“You’re still hitting, you’re still hitting! I’ll fight back!” Ximen the Fatty became furious.
“Fight back? Try it.” Wu Song sneered disdainfully. A piece of trash with a Mystic Tortoise Bloodline who hadn’t even stepped into the ranks of a Martial Artist yet, dared to attack someone like him, one of the Gods and Demons?
Roar!
A roar sounded, and a huge, blurry phantom of a mystic tortoise appeared, opening its giant maw and biting down.
“Holy crap, that’s a bloodline talent! There’s actually a genius here who awakened his bloodline?” An exclamation rang out.
Smack!
Then, Wu Song delivered another slap, and the mystic tortoise phantom instantly dispersed. The Top Grade Bloodline didn’t even get a chance to make a splash before being directly shattered.
“Let go quickly, a customer has arrived.” Hearing the exclamation, Ximen the Fatty immediately felt his savior had come and hurriedly spoke.
Wu Song then reluctantly released his grip. In front of a customer, one cannot lose courtesy.
A young boy looked at Ximen the Fatty with a shocked expression. What had he just seen?
An activated bloodline!
Although he didn’t know what grade this bloodline was, this fatty, who wasn’t even a Martial Artist yet, could activate his bloodline to defend against an enemy. He definitely had a high-level bloodline!
Only high-level bloodlines could be activated at will for protection, while low-level bloodlines could only manifest during awakening or when cultivation reached its peak.
Now, right before his eyes, there actually appeared a genius with an activated bloodline, and what’s more, he activated it so casually.
What was even more frightening was that the bloodline protection was shattered by someone, shattered with just a single slap!
Looking at the shocked boy, Ximen the Fatty revealed a smile he thought was very handsome and said, “I am Ximen Qing, possessor of a Top Grade Bloodline. Young man, are you here to rent a powerful expert?”
Top Grade Bloodline?
The boy nodded blankly, momentarily at a loss for words.
“You’ve come at an unlucky time; the Foundation Building Stage honored seniors have already been rented out,” Ximen Qing said.
“That fast?” The boy’s face changed drastically. He came this early and was still too late?
“No matter, there’s still Peak Innate Realm Wu Song.” Ximen the Fatty quickly presented Wu Song, puffing him up with all his might. “Don’t just see that he’s only at Peak Innate Realm. His combat power is extremely formidable. Killing Innate Realm experts is as easy as playing. He can even challenge above his level and kill Foundation Building Demonic Beasts.”
Wu Song’s face darkened, but he did not refute it.
The boy’s expression turned ugly. “Brother, Innate Realm invincible, I believe that. But killing across a major level to slay a Foundation Building expert, isn’t that a bit unreliable?”
Ximen the Fatty’s expression instantly changed, and an aura of arrogance rose from within him. “Kid, you really have no insight, did you just see my bloodline?”
The boy nodded blankly. What does that have to do with your bloodline?
“This Wu Song’s bloodline is similar to mine, also a Top Grade Bloodline. Tell me, how strong would a Peak Innate Realm expert with a Top Grade Bloodline be? Could he kill ordinary Foundation Building Demonic Beasts?” Ximen the Fatty said proudly.
Wu Song coldly stared at Ximen the Fatty, his gaze as icy as frost. If it weren’t for needing to take on the mission, he would definitely go up and give him a few slaps right now.
Similar to your bloodline? I’m a Divine Level, you’re just a top-grade trash of the Mortal World. Is that similar? This is several tiers apart, alright!
The boy carefully observed Wu Song, recalling the scene where Wu Song shattered the mystic tortoise phantom with a slap. He somewhat believed it now. For a Peak Innate Realm expert to so casually slap and shatter a Top Grade Bloodline’s protection was simply impossible. Even being invincible within the Innate Realm couldn’t accomplish that.
If Wu Song also had a Top Grade Bloodline, it would make sense. Come to think of it, if he wasn’t a possessor of a Top Grade Bloodline, would he dare to bully someone with a Top Grade Bloodline so casually?
The boy’s expression gradually improved, showing a hint of anticipation, but he was still not entirely at ease. “You can truly kill across levels to slay a Foundation Building expert?”
“Of course, let me tell you…”
Ximen the Fatty had just started speaking when the boy interrupted him, pointing at Wu Song. “I’m not asking you, I’m asking him.”
Wu Song raised his head proudly. Although he did not reveal his aura, appearing completely ordinary, he was filled with confidence. “Ordinary Foundation Building experts can be killed. If you can get me some good wine, even stronger ones aren’t necessarily beyond being killed.”
“Great, it’s you then!” The boy was overjoyed. “I want Wu Song. How much do you charge?”
Now it was Ximen the Fatty’s turn to be dumbfounded. I was just bluffing, saying you could kill Foundation Building Demonic Beasts. You actually can? And you even want good wine?
“Hurry up, how much? So slow.” The boy looked at the stunned fatty with dissatisfaction.
Smack!
Wu Song slapped the back of the fatty’s head and scolded, “Clumsy oaf! Introduce yourself to the customer already!”
Ximen the Fatty wore a wronged expression, feeling furious inside. Damn it, just wait, I’ll deal with you later. “Fifty Yuan Coins, for two hours. No bargaining.”
“Fifty Yuan Coins… holy crap, wait, what? Two hours?” The boy’s expression suddenly changed. This was too much of a rip-off!
Ximen the Fatty kept a straight face. “This is a Peak Innate Realm expert with a Top Grade Bloodline, not some random Innate Martial Artist you can pull off the street. This Wu Song is invincible among his peers, can fight one against a hundred, and can slay Foundation Building experts. Don’t be fooled by his earlier modesty. In a real fight, he can even kill a Foundation Building Peak expert.”
For god’s sake!
Wu Song’s face twitched uncontrollably. Could you have some limit to your bragging? Foundation Building Peak? If this boast gets out, aren’t you afraid of getting beaten to death?
The boy stared fixedly at Wu Song, blinking his eyes. “You can even kill Foundation Building Peak experts?”
Ximen the Fatty kept his eyes lowered, minding his own business. Now was not the time to ask me; he ignored the question.
Wu Song took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the urge to angrily beat up the fatty. His cool demeanor must not be lost. “Add fifty jars of good wine, and I’ll even kill the examination supervisor for you!”
Thud!
Ximen the Fatty slumped down. I was just bluffing, why did you actually agree?
“You said it yourself. Good wine is nothing much. Although I don’t know why you want good wine, I’ll definitely get it for you. Here are fifty Yuan Coins. Go wait for me at the Monster Beast Mountains. By the way, my name is Feng Hao.”
Fearing Wu Song might go back on his word, the boy dropped fifty Yuan Coins and swiftly left.
Watching the departing boy, Feng Hao, Ximen the Fatty was just about to speak when an intense pain shot through his head. “You seriously dared to say that! I’ll beat you to death! Now I’ve really gone all out, damn it!”
“Brother Wu, it’s not my fault. If you can’t handle it, then don’t take it. Who told you to stubbornly accept?” Ximen the Fatty wore a wronged expression. I brought you business, and I still get beaten up. Is there any justice?
“You freaking moron! Li Guang has been completely booked, only I am left. He had no one else to choose from, you rotten piece of work!” Wu Song was furious beyond words, punching and kicking, beating him fiercely.
Ximen the Fatty let out a shriek, even dropping some Yuan Coins, and quickly cried out, “Stop hitting! The money fell! I’m taking the money to Brother Xuan.”
Looking at the coins on the ground, Wu Song finally, not entirely satisfied, released his grip and snorted coldly. “When I come back after completing the mission, I’ll settle accounts with you.”
Ximen the Fatty heaved a long sigh of relief, hurriedly took the Yuan Coins, and ran towards the Dojo.
“Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan, I’ve secured a deal! Look!” As if seeking praise, Ximen the Fatty handed the Yuan Coins to Jiang Taixuan.
Jiang Taixuan waved his hand and collected them, his face full of approval. “Well done, you didn’t disappoint me.”
“But, Brother Xuan, when Wu Song comes back, he’ll probably kill me.” Ximen the Fatty said with a tearful, frightened expression.
“Then just introduce a few more deals to him, so when he returns, he won’t have the energy to hit you.” Jiang Taixuan said with a slight smile.
“But… no buts. Here, ten tokens. For renting Li Guang or Wu Song. Let me make it clear first, you are next in line. Get people with the tokens.” Jiang Taixuan said indifferently, taking out ten wooden tokens. Five were engraved with the character for “Wu” and five with the character for “Guang.”
“Brother Xuan, I said Wu Song could kill Foundation Building experts. Aren’t you angry?” Ximen the Fatty asked cautiously. If this didn’t go well, it could ruin their reputation.
Jiang Taixuan looked at Ximen Qing with a smiling expression. “You don’t understand them yet. Once you understand, you will realize you weren’t bragging, but simply stating facts!”
