The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 701: Chapter 720 The Test Begins [One More]

Another reason was that Asuka Hana’s noble aura made her seem very unapproachable.

Although everyone liked Asuka Hana, they felt as if she was a high princess, creating a significant distance in status, preventing anyone from approaching her.

After a short while, Ye Feng and the others reached the gates, where a very steep slope awaited them.

Beneath the slope lay the boundless Underground Forest, and between the top and bottom of the slope, there was an elevation difference of over two hundred meters. On either side of the slope, sharp spikes jutted out from the ground.

Anyone falling from the top would be lucky to survive, even those of Innate Perfection.

Everyone carefully made their way down, their eyes filled with tension, worried about accidentally slipping off the slope.

Miyagi Ryoyu leading the group declared, ”If you want to follow me, show me what you’re capable of. Let’s see if you can keep up with my pace. If you can, I’ll agree to let you join my team and guide you through the forest. If you can’t, stay far away from me and out of my sight!”

”Yes, yes!” The Martial Artists, who only had developed their Inner Strength, nodded repeatedly.

They knew all too well how dangerous the Underground Forest was, with many beasts as powerful as those with Inner Strength lurking within, where a single misstep could be fatal. Their skills barely reached the Grandmaster level entering could be deadly.

Thus, they had no choice but to follow Miyagi Ryoyu obediently.

Ye Feng and Asuka Hana, meanwhile, lingered at the back of the group. Asuka Hana seemed to intentionally maintain a distance from everyone else, wanting to traverse the Underground Forest alone. However, Miyagi Ryoyu and the others had already moved to the front. Given the narrowness of the path, barely wide enough for two, any attempt by Asuka Hana to overtake would lead to physical contact, which she wanted to avoid, leading her to move to the rear of the group.

As for Ye Feng, whether he was at the front or the back didn’t matter. The Underground Forest, dangerous for most, was like a simple garden to him, which he could traverse with the ease of a walk.

”Hmm?” Just then, Ye Feng furrowed his brows and hastened his steps, reaching out to grab Asuka Hana.

Asuka Hana didn’t react in time, and Ye Feng caught her hand.

The smooth sensation, the warmth of her hand transmitted to Ye Feng’s palm. Asuka Hana’s hand was soft and frail, prompting a moment of surprise in Ye Feng as he held on tightly.

Startled and angry, Asuka Hana was shocked that Ye Feng, a Martial Artist in the early stages of developing Inner Strength, had caught her hand so effortlessly.

Her anger stemmed from the fact that never before had a man dared to grab her hand like that.

”Beast!” roared Asuka Hana, about to slap Ye Feng with her free hand.

”Boom~~” But just then, a violent tremor occurred, and the path ahead suddenly collapsed, sending stones crashing down to the ground.

Asuka Hana froze. She hadn’t noticed that the section of the path ahead was about to collapse. If Ye Feng hadn’t grabbed her, she would have fallen, from a height of over one hundred meters.

From such a height, only a Legendary Martial King capable of brief flight could survive; even those of Innate Perfection would have a survival rate of less than forty percent.

As a Grandmaster in the middle phase of Innate, falling from there would equate to a near-certain death.

In essence, Ye Feng had saved Asuka Hana’s life.

Ye Feng gazed at Asuka Hana calmly and emotionlessly, ”I saved you, yet you want to strike me?”

Then, Ye Feng let go of Asuka Hana’s hand. Her cheeks flushed, her eyes showing resentment, but she couldn’t muster anger internally.

Indeed, Ye Feng had saved her, and she clearly felt that Ye Feng’s gaze was different from that of others.

Others looked at Asuka Hana with ulterior motives, filled with desire, but Ye Feng’s gaze was calm, pure, devoid of any agitation.

Her first time witnessing such a gaze, Asuka Hana found it impossible to stay angry at Ye Feng.

Moreover, since he had saved her, Asuka Hana decided not to trouble Ye Feng anymore.

”If you dare touch me again, I’ll kill you...” Asuka Hana warned, looking at Ye Feng.

However, Ye Feng remained indifferent to her warning, casually stating, ”Are you coming or not? If not, I’m moving ahead...”

”Hmph!” Asuka Hana snorted coldly, jumping out four meters to the opposite side.

Ye Feng followed, jumping with ease to the other side.

The commotion they caused drew envious glances from everyone; especially Miyagi Ryoyu, whose eyes brimmed with intense murderous intent.

Miyagi Ryoyu glared fiercely at Ye Feng, thinking to himself: ”This Dragon Country bastard, even I haven’t touched Miss Asuka Hana’s hand, and yet he dares pull her along—I will kill him!”

Of course, Ye Feng was aware of Miyagi Ryoyu’s malice but was unconcerned, as Miyagi Ryoyu posed no threat to him.

Everyone continued forward, and after half an hour, they finally reached the edge of the forest.

Suddenly, Miyagi Ryoyu stopped, then turned around, looking at Ye Feng: ”Ye Feng, come and walk with me!”

Hearing Miyagi Ryoyu’s words, everyone else showed surprised expressions, puzzled as they looked at Miyagi Ryoyu, unsure of his intentions.
