Chapter 1058: Chapter 1057: Backing Down So Quickly? (1 more)

Chen Batian, seeing Zhu Wenjing as a young girl, directly ignored her words and asked Ye Haochuan again, ”Brother Ye, are you willing to fight me?”

”Hey! Did you just treat my words like the wind passing your ears?” Zhu Wenjing immediately became displeased. ”Didn’t I already tell you? If you want to fight our Alliance Hierarch, you’d better get through me first!”

Zhu Wenjing was unaware that all of this was being egged on by the Galaxy Battle Team, but she believed such a duel would be incredibly fun, which was why she refused to relent.

A member of the Tianyu Alliance scolded: ”Where did this brat come from? Step aside!”

”Hey, you over there!” Seeing Chen Batian ignoring her, Zhu Wenjing pointed at him and said, ”Are you scared?”

”What a joke! Our Alliance Hierarch scared of you, brat? If he’s afraid, it’s just of accidentally beating you and making you cry for your parents! Haha...”

Chen Batian still didn’t respond. Zhu Wenjing couldn’t hold back any longer; she strode to stand right in front of Chen Batian and loudly challenged, ”You! Dare to fight me?”

She mimicked Chen Batian’s tone, calling for a duel.

Chen Batian laughed angrily, ”Ye Haochuan, you call yourself the Alliance Master of the Long Alliance, but you’re just afraid to lose and embarrass yourself, so you randomly find someone to deflect me?”

Ye Haochuan chuckled, ”Randomly find someone? Does Brother Chen have a problem with his ears? Didn’t you hear her say earlier that she’s the Vice Alliance Hierarch? A Vice Alliance Hierarch, just any random person?”

”Brother Ye, I’m challenging you right now. If you’re a man, don’t be a coward hiding in your shell!”

Faced with Chen Batian’s provoking words, Ye Haochuan responded calmly, ”If Brother Chen can win against my Long Alliance Vice Alliance Hierarch, then it’ll be worth considering!”

”Mm!” Zhu Wenjing nodded firmly before saying to Chen Batian, ”You! If you’re a man, then fight me right now, no excuses!”

Imitating Chen Batian’s taunts, Zhu Wenjing hurled them right back at him, making him exceedingly furious. ”Alright, alright! Foolhardy brat, I’ll teach you a lesson first!”

”Does that mean you accept the challenge?” Zhu Wenjing exclaimed gleefully.

Chen Batian’s face darkened. ”Please!” He leapt into the sky without a word, followed closely by Zhu Wenjing, her face brimming with joy.

The two suddenly appeared mid-air, leaving everyone stunned.

At this moment, Li Xinghe, the captain of the Galaxy Battle Team, immediately addressed the Lingyun Manor Master and several high-ranking members of Xuanmen: ”Those two happen to be the Tianyu Alliance Hierarch and the Long Alliance Vice Alliance Hierarch, and they’re just trying to spar a bit to liven up the banquet.”

At the head of three hundred tables sat Lingyun Manor Master Duan Feng, his eldest son Duan Guichuan, his eldest daughter Duan Yuxin, the three alliance leaders, and three elderly figures.

Zou Yuzhu frowned and said, ”Tomorrow when the alliance event formally begins, there will be opportunities for matches. Having a duel tonight, if described positively, is for entertainment—but if phrased poorly, it’s just showboating!”

Gong Hanlang commented, ”Today’s banquet is hosted by Lingyun Manor—fighting and killing is downright improper!”

Chen Kelin turned toward the elders and asked, ”What do the venerable elders feel about this? If you disapprove, I’ll immediately take steps to put an end to it.”

Duan Feng, however, smiled, ”Every year my Lingyun Manor hosts a banquet for the alliances, and every year feels the same without variation. Let them spar a bit—it might not be a bad thing.”

Duan Guichuan laughed, ”Exactly! How about you three alliance leaders place bets with me? Let’s see who emerges victorious. Losers will down ten bowls of wine each!”

The elders said nothing, which was tacit approval; after all, Lingyun Manor was hosting, and with the Manor Master himself expressing no objection, outsiders naturally had no grounds to argue further.

Since that was the case, the leaders of the three alliances were bound to show Duan Guichuan some courtesy.

Gong Hanlang laughed, ”I heard Chen Batian recently broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. I’ll bet on his victory.”

Chen Kelin said, ”I agree with Brother Gong. That young girl seems to lack real combat experience at a glance.”

Zou Yuzhu added, ”I’ve heard the Long Alliance Master himself is merely at Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Based on that, the odds seem heavily tilted toward Chen Batian.”

”Since all three of you have chosen Chen Batian, I don’t really have much choice—I’ll place my bet on the young lady.”

Gong Hanlang laughed and said, ”Young Master Duan, you’re not losing out here. If you lose, it’s just ten bowls; but if you win, we three collectively owe you thirty bowls!”

”Haha, yes indeed, I’m not losing out!” Duan Guichuan laughed heartily, while Duan Yuxin muttered softly, ”Of course you’re not losing out!”

Strictly speaking, Lingyun Manor knew far more about the Long Alliance than anyone else present.

Though the Long Alliance only received the invitation due to Long Xiaotian’s efforts, Lingyun Manor had still conducted investigations into the Long Alliance. Ye Haochuan appeared to be only at Foundation Establishment Early Stage, but his true combat prowess would undoubtedly leave people dumbfounded.

Though Lingyun Manor didn’t know much about Zhu Wenjing, as the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Long Alliance, they expected she wouldn’t be far off from Ye Haochuan’s level. Therefore, Duan Guichuan was still rather confident in this match.

With Duan Feng’s tacit approval, the Galaxy Battle Team captain called loudly into the air: ”Both of you can begin, but be careful not to damage the century-old architecture of the manor.”

Duan Yuxin chimed in with her silver-bell-like voice: ”No problem! Go all out—the manor’s protective formation will ensure nothing gets damaged.”

The captain of the Galaxy Battle Team had intended to flatter her, but Duan Yuxin’s words left him thoroughly embarrassed, forcing him to retreat dejectedly to his seat.

In mid-air, Chen Batian struck a stance and clasped his fists, declaring, ”Chen Batian, Alliance Master of Tianyu, Foundation Establishment Early Stage—please offer your guidance!”

Reporting one’s name and cultivation level was considered polite, but Chen Batian couldn’t help boasting as he deliberately revealed his Boundary.

”Huh?” Zhu Wenjing exclaimed in astonishment, ”You’re at Foundation Establishment Early Stage?”

”Exactly!” Chen Batian confirmed smugly.

”Sorry, I didn’t realize earlier that you were at Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Perhaps we shouldn’t fight after all.”

Chen Batian snorted coldly, ”It’s too late for regrets now!”

After boasting so much before, was she now retreating in fear? Ridiculous! It was her decision to step forward for Ye Haochuan, so she should prepare to suffer my wrath!

”Hey! Why are you like this? I’ve already apologized to you—what more do you want?”

This dramatic twist was baffling to many. Gong Hanlang chuckled at the table, ”Young Master Duan, it seems the young lady is about to concede. Looks like the wine’s as good as yours.”

Chen Kelin remarked, ”It seems hearing Chen Batian reveal his level has frightened the girl into withdrawing.”

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Battle Team discussed in confusion, ”She was so bold in challenging earlier—did she lose her nerve already?”

At Ye Haochuan’s table, Langfei and others were similarly puzzled, feeling annoyed. ”Brother Ye, can this person even be relied upon? If she forfeits, wouldn’t that be downright embarrassing?”

Zhu Qingshuang scoffed, ”She already embarrassed herself by apologizing!”

Ye Haochuan understood Zhu Qingshuang was targeting Zhu Wenjing, but inwardly, he was rather delighted—this was clearly jealousy at play!

Nevertheless, Ye Haochuan still felt the need to reassure everyone, so he said, ”Don’t worry, she definitely won’t lose.”
