Chapter 838: Wilted Old Tree is a Liar?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone was not disappointed with w.a.n.g Yu but they had always thought w.a.n.g Yu was invincible. Therefore, they had this foreboding sense of frustration when they found out that there were others even stronger than w.a.n.g Yu.
There was no other way around it. One could barely fight 20 men but the other could defeat a thousand men. There was almost a hundredfold difference between the two.
“You are just exaggerating… One person fighting two thousand, what physical strength does that man have?” Yang Nuo could not help but chime in the discussion.
The peerless martial artists usually came from the military. Since the military and martial arts were closely related, Yang Nuo had some understanding towards the inner workings of both fields.
One had to know that soldiers were different from ordinary men. Their strength will exponentially when soldiers work together. Under the absolute suppression of the overwhelming quant.i.ty of soldiers, even a martial arts Grandmaster might not be able to take such a blow.
Old Wilted Tree smiled contemptuously, “What do you guys know? He practices Taiji. He is adept at borrowing the strength of others to defeat his opponents.”
“Taiji?” w.a.n.g Yu scratched his head in confusion and asked Yang Nuo, “Your grandfather?”
The people who were most proficient in Taiji were the Yang and Chen Families. It was just a myth that Taiji pract.i.tioners could fully redirect their opponent’s force in battle. In actuality, to achieve such a feat, one had to even utilise a greater amount of force than their opponents. w.a.n.g Yu was also a Taiji grandmaster himself thus he understood Taiji much better than the ordinary person.
However, w.a.n.g Yu was not too sure whether there was a higher realm of Taiji that one could achieve and proceeded to ask Yang Nuo.
Yang Nuo replied with a darkened expression, “My grandfather is no stronger than you… My family has a few hundred years of heritage yet we have not seen such a person before.” w.a.n.g Yu quipped, “Is it the Chen Family then?”
Yang Nuo grinned, “If it was really the Old Chen Family, do you think your family can still remain unscathed?”
“Hmm…” w.a.n.g Yu heard the words and he looked away in embarra.s.sment.
Yang Nuo did not wrongly blame the w.a.n.g Family. The w.a.n.g Family was traditionally a strong family and this was especially so for Old w.a.n.g. However, Old w.a.n.g was simply too unreasonable on certain matters. Taking the matter concerning w.a.n.g Yu as an example, it could be seen how far he could go to try to impose on others.
The other smaller families were still more harmonious and thus were at the losing end when dealing with the w.a.n.g Family.
If the Chen Family or any other powerhouse families had such an expert in their ranks, it was likely the w.a.n.g Family would be the first to be targeted.
Seeing that none of the four major martial arts families had such an expert, w.a.n.g Yu could not help but sigh, “There is always someone stronger…”
“Now you know that one team’s strength is simply not enough to defeat him. Do you want to join forces with us?” Wilted Old Tree finally revealed his true intentions.
Just as everyone was wondering why Wilted Old Tree had taken all the effort to tell them this information, they realised what he wanted to achieve.
w.a.n.g Yu did not get the opportunity to reply. Fearless interjected and said, “We will take your kindness to heart, but the members from Quan Zhen Sect don’t like to ally with others.”
Allying with other Guilds brought its own share of troubles. If there were disputes between the Guilds, Quan Zhen Sect might even be forced to give up a share of the Obsidian equipment they obtained… The members from Quan Zhen Sect clearly did not have such a habit of sharing.
“You guys are not afraid that Lucifer and Martial Yin Yang might find trouble with you?” Seeing that Fearless did not accept his offer, Wilted Old Tree furrowed his brows and asked.
“Hehe!” Fearless imitated Wilted Old Tree’s contemptuously laughter and replied, “That bunch of trash from Team Satan already made us give up the rewards for the champions.h.i.+p. Even if they did not find us on their own accord, we will still go and find trouble with them. You don’t have to worry about us.”
“You… You are kidding right.” Wilted Old Tree could not believe his advice fell on deaf ears, “Whatever I said just now was absolutely true.”
Wilted Old Tree did not know where did Quan Zhen Sect get their courage from and had actually no qualms about finding Martial Yin Yang. They even threatened to even take the initiative to find trouble with them…
Fearless laughed and said, “We are not kidding! And we don’t doubt your words. It’s just that we need to pay them back what they did to us. The opponent does not matter at all.”‘
“…” Seeing Fearless stubborn opinions, Wilted Old Tree did not know how to respond.
In Quan Zhen Sect’s team channel, everyone was furiously typing, “What a great act by Fearless, next time give us a chance to act as well…”
Fearless defiantly replied, “If you guys want to act, go think of your own lines. Bunch of tras.h.!.+”
“Ok then!” Wilted Old Tree did not insist anymore on his offer. He just felt a little regretful that the Quan Zhen Sect did not take him up on his offer.
“Anytime you guys change your mind, this offer is always open.” Wilted Old Tree finally spoke.
w.a.n.g Yu gave a wide grin to show his appreciation and replied, “Much thanks.”
“I will make a move…” Old Wilted Tree and Team Peaceful took their leave.
Old Wilted Tree was indeed a pragmatic person. As soon as he saw that Quan Zhen Sect had no intention of allying, he immediately distanced themselves away from them.
After Team Peaceful was a distance away, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect finally displayed their anxious faces. This was especially so for Darknorth Fisher who had previous trauma with getting bullied by others. His face was so crestfallen as he asked, “Is there any way out of this after crossing such a player?”
Fearless laughed and gave Darknorth Fisher a consolatory pat on the back, “Don’t worry too much! There is definitely a way out of this.”
“Why do I feel like you have found something?” w.a.n.g Yu asked Fearless incredulously.
“Hehe!” Fearless craftily smiled, “Do you really believe that there are people stronger than you?”
“I can’t be too certain about this. Furthermore, there are people in my family who are even stronger than me…” w.a.n.g Yu answered humbly.
“So what do you think is the main difference between someone stronger than you?” Fearless continued his questioning.
w.a.n.g Yu thought for a moment and replied, “It is probably down to experience…”
“But he claimed that Martial Yin Yang’s martial arts is stronger than you by a hundred times. Do you even dare to believe it?” Fearless snickered coldly.
“This…” w.a.n.g Yu touched his nose hesitantly.
To speak the truth, although w.a.n.g Yu was a humble man, he was undeniably a once-a-generation talent in martial arts. He inevitably had a sense of superiority in his craft.
If it was claimed that there were people stronger than w.a.n.g Yu, w.a.n.g Yu would definitely not deny this fact as there were indeed some people in the older generation that were extremely strong but were not in the limelight. However, to claim that there was someone that was a hundred times stronger than w.a.n.g Yu was simply ludicrous.
w.a.n.g Yu was also the current holder of the t.i.tle of the youngest boxing Grandmaster. Upon hearing WIlted Old Tree’s words, w.a.n.g Yu’s self-belief was a little shaken. He wondered if it was truly the case that he was so far from the pinnacle of martial arts.
Wilted Old Tree and Quan Zhen Sect were not friends in the first place. How could he totally trust in someone’s words?
Hearing Fearless’s detailed a.n.a.lysis, w.a.n.g Yu was unshackled from his previous self-doubts…
“Is that kid trying to scam us?” w.a.n.g Yu asked Fearless.
Fearless replied with a grin on his face, “There is no smoke without fire. There is definitely some substance to his words but not to the extent he claimed.”
