”Wei Hao, do you think I'm afraid of you? You want to challenge me? You're just making trouble for yourself.”
Although Su Bai had spent quite some time hiding in the crowd, he seemed not at all humble in the face of Wei Hao's charge.
Foul scoundrel, just because I can't deal with Wang Chong doesn't mean that I can't deal with a brat like you!
A vicious look appeared in Su Bai's eyes.
What sort of person was Wei Hao?
He was the butt of the jokes they made while messing around, their punching bag in Eight Gods Pavilion. Su Bai had never been afraid of Wei Hao. And besides, Wang Chong had repressed Su Bai so much that his belly was almost bursting with rage.
Boom!
Su Bai thrust out a palm, his entire body suddenly going red. His dantian began to reverberate with the ringing of metal as a majestic energy burst out from his body. This was not the strength of the Origin Energy realm, but the Stellar Energy of the True Martial realm.
Although he seemed ignorant and incompetent, Su Bai had broken into the True Martial realm a long time ago. As a member of one of the top-ranking noble clans in the empire, Su Bai couldn't actually be a true incompetent.
”Wei Hao, this time, I'll let you get a good taste of pain!”
Su Bai had a sinister gaze as his voice turned into a roar. But then suddenly, boom! A boundless power rang out with the clattering of metal as it smashed into Su Bai's hand.
Like he had been struck by some massive mountain, Su Bai flew backward like a stray kite.
As Su Bai flew backward, he brought the seven or eight people in his path down with him.
”Aaaaah!”
”Su Bai, you bastard! Don't you have eyes?”
”What are you two doing? Fighting here?”
……
The orderly reception hall fell into chaos as those clan representatives knocked down by Su Bai began to curse.
”Wang Chong, shouldn't you be controlling Wei Hao!”
On the ground, Su Bai was both shocked and furious. He was shocked at Wei Hao's power and angry over the fact that he had shamed himself in front of so many people.
”Wei Hao, it's fine, that's enough.”
Wang Chong couldn't help but inwardly laugh. From the moment Wei Hao appeared, Wang Chong could sense that his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. The Mountain Ascension Art had been an elite art back then, so it would have been stranger if Su Bai had won.
However, he had not called on Su Bai so that he could humiliate him or take revenge. Such a matter wasn't even worth mentioning when compared to what he planned to do.
”Hmph, Su Bai, weren't you mouthing off just now? Can't back it up? Heh, I'll let you go this time for Wang Chong's sake, but I won't go so easy next time!” Wei Hao said with a huff.
Now that Wang Chong had spoken, he naturally couldn't continue, but it was fine to give him a good tongue-lashing.
Su Bai's complexion fluctuated between green and purple, but to everyone's surprise, he didn't leave out of anger from his humiliation.
”Wang Chong, do those words of yours count? Do you really plan to exchange three months of one True Martial realm expert's time for one Wootz Steel weapon?” Su Bai asked, staring at Wang Chong.
He originally intended to not show himself. While he had outwardly agreed to listen to his father, he had actually wanted to make Wang Chong look like a fool.
But it was no longer the time for that.
Wootz Steel swords were the highest class of weapons. They were not only gorgeous, they were also incredibly tough, simultaneously almost invulnerable and incredibly sharp.
Almost no saber or sword in the capital could compare to them. As a result, although every Wootz Steel weapon was remarkable, they had always been priceless.
The Duke Su Residence had once attempted to buy a Wootz Steel sword, but found out that the Wootz Steel swords were only being circulated in the palace and were simply impossible to buy outside.
In the past, Duke Su's status had meant that he had always been able to easily obtain any information or object he wanted from the Imperial Army.
The situation in this case was completely different.
The Imperial Army that had always been extremely respectful to the dukes of the empire had an attitude as different as night and day to the Wootz Steel swords. Anyone who got their hands on a Wootz Steel weapon wasn't willing to let it go.
Ever since the Wootz Steel weapons had started being auctioned off, the number of them that had appeared outside the Imperial Army could be counted on one's fingers.
To the majority of the clans, this object was something they could look at, but not touch, could encounter, but not seek.
More importantly, the clans of the capital all had a few precious swords that had been passed down through the generations, but the sharpness of the Wootz Steel weapons far surpassed them.
The price of such weapons was naturally impossible to estimate.
Martial artists had a lifespan, but sabers and swords could be passed down without limit. This was where the value of Wootz Steel weapons rested.
If they only needed to lend one True Martial realm Tier 4 or 5 expert for three months to receive an indestructible Wootz Steel sword that could slice through metal, this would be an incredibly profitable exchange.
”Right, right, Young Master Wang, you can't just take back your words!”
”A great clan also needs its dignity. Young Master wouldn't throw away the Wang Clan's dignity for a Wootz Steel sword, right?”
”Five True Martial realm experts is no problem! Young Master Wang, you'd better not go back on your word!”
