Chapter 182 - The Li Elder's Arrival

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This pressure that belonged to a Purple Mansion cultivator astonished all those who had come to watch the show.

In everyone’s impression, wasn’t Wang Shu just a good-for-nothing Young Master? How did he break through to the Purple Mansion Realm in a single night?

If it were so easy to break through to the Purple Mansion realm, it wouldn’t be to the extent that so many large clans in Heavenly Star City would be able to recruit a large number of vassals.

This was because the Purple Mansion realm was the key realm for condensing one’s nascent soul and unlocking one’s innate divine ability.

If one’s innate divine ability were sufficiently powerful, then it would be equivalent to a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate. It could be said to be a leap to the heavens.

However, breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm was simply too difficult.

This was especially true for vagabond cultivators. In order to obtain a way to break through, they must also have the resources to do so.

Most of them were willing to become the vassals of many large clans, to be driven by these large clans, in exchange for sufficient resources and a way to break through.

From this, it could be seen that breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm was definitely not a simple matter.

It was even more impossible for a silkpants like Wang Shu to break through to the Purple Mansion realm.

But now, the pressure that belonged to a Purple Mansion cultivator made everyone believe it.

At that moment, many people’s impression of Wang Shu changed quite a bit.

This was also one of Wang Shu’s plans. He could be considered to have started to create momentum for himself.

The luxurious carriage slowly came to a stop, and Wang Shu got out of the carriage fully armed.

Wang Shu didn’t have his usual profligate air at all. He was wearing dark gold mutated beast armor, with a dark silk belt around his waist and a pair of fiery red flying cloud battle boots under his feet.

He suddenly exuded a heroic aura like an awe-inspiring general. His eyes were slightly slanted, and he looked as if he was looking down on everyone present.

If it were before, everyone would have been shocked by Wang Shu’s appearance.

After all, the Dragon Horse pulling the carriage was a mutant spirit beast, and it had a trace of true dragon bloodline. It wasn’t something an ordinary person could afford.

The carriage was so noble that people did not dare to look at it directly.

These pieces of equipment were left behind by the Wang ancestors when they were rich. The Wang ancestors had even left behind the battle armor on Wang Shu’s body.

When the battle armor was put together, it could be considered as a Spirit Stone Vein.

It was called the Gold Suan Ni-Swallowing Battle Armor. Its defense was extremely high, and it could even gather Military Qi and attract starlight to battle.

Such luxurious equipment was enough to blind most of the people present.

“Hmoph! Today is the day for me, Wang Shu, to turn the tables! That Zhou Feng is just a stepping stone for me!”

At that moment, Wang Shu’s heart was pounding in excitement, and his tail was almost raised to the sky.

After pretending to be such a silkpants, he could finally be himself.

The current Wang Shu had a feeling of enduring humiliation and then shocking everyone.

However, there was a strange look in everyone’s eyes.

Especially when they saw Zhou Feng’s appearance earlier.

Although Zhou Feng did not have so many luxurious pieces of equipment when he appeared, nor were any people accompanying him, only a Mountain Spirit Hound, his heroic aura was engraved in his bones.

It was as if he was born that way, without the slightest bit of grandiosity.

But when Wang Shu and Zhou Feng were compared, the difference was obvious.

There was also the fact that Wang Shu, who was wearing a full set of armor, actually came in a carriage. This was more or less a point deduction.

The way he looked down upon the entire venue made many people feel disgusted.

It was completely different from the pride Zhou Feng displayed.

“Oh? Wang Shu isn’t as annoying as he used to be!”

When Li Rong saw Wang Shu, she wrinkled her nose slightly and gave him a flat evaluation.

Compared to the nauseating Wang Shu in the past, the current Wang Shu was just not as annoying in Li Rong’s eyes.

Still, it was completely incomparable to seeing Zhou Feng’s handsome face.

‘What’s going on? Why does it seem like something’s wrong!’

Looking at the strange looks in the eyes of the people around him, Wang Shu felt that something was wrong.

Normally speaking, according to his expectations, everyone would be intimidated by him, and their impression of him would change drastically.

Even Li Rong was also impressed by his majestic figure.

However, some details were not worth paying attention to.

Wang Shu ignored the rest of the details and followed the plan in his heart step by step. He took a deep breath and made his voice louder. “Please welcome the Third Elder to watch the battle!”

“The Third Elder?”

“The Li Clan actually sent an Elder to watch the battle?”

“Could it be that the rumors are true? Is this really a marriage tournament?”

“…”

As soon as Wang Shu finished speaking, most people were shocked.

They didn’t expect a Li Elder to come to watch the battle!

Was the noble daughter of the Li Clan looking for a husband through this battle today?

To be honest, the Li Elder’s arrival was shocking.

Unlike Li Manya, the Third Elder was not only in the Divine Ability realm but also needed to deal with a lot of affairs.

Usually, he wouldn’t appear. If he had free time, he might as well go into seclusion and cultivate for a while.

“What! The Third Elder is here?”

“What price did Wang Shu pay? He actually allowed the Third Elder to come and watch the battle?”

Li Rong instantly turned pale with fright within the private room.

Although Li Manya didn’t lose her composure, her expression was somewhat ugly.

Now that the Third Elder was here, Li Manya couldn’t interfere.

She couldn’t trick another Divine Ability cultivator.

In addition, Wang Shu had suddenly broken through to the Purple Mansion realm. This was simply adding insult to injury.

“I… I’m not really going to marry that b*stard, am I?”

Li Rong could no longer remain calm.

‘Hmph! Now that the Third Elder is here, as long as I win this duel, Li Rong, you won’t be able to escape from my grasp!’

Wang Shu was pleased with himself.

Naturally, it was his idea to invite the Third Elder.

Although it was a heart-wrenching price to pay, it was all worth it. As long as the marriage between him and Li Rong was finalized, any price was worth it.

Wang Shu, including the Wang Clan, had already gambled on more than half of his net worth.

And all of this was just to become the Li Clan’s son-in-law.

If Zhou Feng knew about this, he would definitely be dumbfounded.

You said that Wang Shu wasted so much energy and resources just to become the Li Clan’s son-in-law. Was It really worth it?

Unfortunately, Zhou Feng had no idea what this confrontation meant.

For him, the reason for his confrontation with Wang Shu was very simple. It was to get rid of Wang Shu, this hidden danger.

Zhou Feng didn’t want anyone to keep staring at him from behind.

‘Elder of the Li Clan? Divine Ability realm?’

Zhou Feng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, turned solemn when he saw the Third Elder flying over from the horizon.

He hadn’t experienced this suffocating feeling for a long time.

What puzzled him was why the Li Elder had come to watch the battle between him and Wang Shu.

Even if the Third Elder was in the Divine Ability realm, he couldn’t play dirty tricks in front of so many people!

As for Wang Shu, who had already broken through to the Purple Mansion realm, Zhou Feng wasn’t that worried.

From what he could sense, Wang Shu was not a threat at all.

‘Is he really a Purple Mansion cultivator? Why is he so weak?’
