Chapter 131: The Tenth Crisis of Di Tang

  Seeing Hu Gao walking alone in front of him, Yun Feng shook his head and thought to himself that this big brother was indeed profound and unfathomable. Following him would certainly not be a loss.

  Catching up with Hu Gao's pace, Yun Feng panted and said, "Just now I saw the elder of your Hu family give you a book, seemingly a Body Cultivation Technique?"

  "What? You know this book too?"

  Yun Feng nodded, "This book may have an unassuming name, but it's actually very important and might have a huge connection to our Wu Xu Sword Pavilion."

  "Is Body Refining Technique related to your Sword Pavilion?" Hu Gao turned his head back, and Yun Feng's words sparked some interest in him.

  "That's right, this ancient book is very likely to be left by one of the four gods, Fang Wu Xū, and our Wu Xū Sword Pavilion is very likely to be created by Fang Wu Xū's descendants, but these secrets are not something that I can touch at present."

  Hu Gao's eyes widened, ever since he saw the Condensing Shadow Technique, he had a great interest in these legendary figures of the continent. Now hearing Yun Feng mention this, he became very excited and hastily asked: "What kind of person is Fang Wuxu? I've only heard that he has some special research on human spiritual power."

  Yun Feng shook his head, "Although we have a relationship with the Wu Xū Sword Pavilion and this great god, I only know that Fang Wu Xū is the most mysterious of the four great gods. It's said that he might not even have a totem, but there's no evidence to support this."

  Hú Gāo lěng le lěng, jīng shén lì qiáng dà, méi yǒu tú téng? Yún Fēng de zhè xiē qǐ bù shì gēn Xiǎo Qīng Lián jí qí xiāng sì?

  Hu Gao didn't dare to think about it anymore, could it be that the Luoyin Sect and that great god also had a connection? Otherwise, how could the Hu family have this secret book too? How could he explain the various strange characteristics on Xiao Qinglian's body?

  "But shouldn't it be easy to verify that there is no totem? Fang Wuxu, who was able to establish a powerful empire, couldn't have not had any battles recorded in the history books, right?"

  "It's not that, to know that the empire established by this great god is called the Dragon Tiger Empire, the most direct reason is that Fang Wu Xian has always been followed by two extremely powerful guys, Long and Hu, in the entire Totem Continent's history, no one has ever heard of a warrior condensing such a strong totem before, so people suspect that he just tamed two powerful beast pets."

  Watts Fak, Yun Feng's words completely overturned Hu Gao's cognition. These four great gods are indeed freaks above other warriors. No wonder Kong Meng, who created a small world in the air sea, couldn't even make it into the top ten, and could only be the first of the top ten sages.

  One created a cultivation system, one can conquer the mainland without relying on totems, and the other two can establish empires with just ordinary totems. These four great gods are absolutely the most inspiring warriors on the Totem Continent. Just thinking about it makes people cry, those Carnegie and others from past lives are really weak.

  "Never mind, they're all perverts!" Hu Gao wanted to hug Yun Feng's shoulder and cry bitterly. So far, he hadn't even touched the edge of his own way, it was a complete failure. "It won't do, just the two of us drinking isn't fun, I'll go drag another person over."

  Hu Gao wiped his eyes, as if he had really cried. Just now, he suddenly thought of someone who could make him feel superior - that big fatty Wang Huo, who eats demonic beast meat as a snack every day. Speaking of which, Guo De Yun has been subdued by himself and became a blood slave. This guy must have been living a very comfortable life recently.

  The two chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the market in the east of the city. Although it was evening, the place was still bustling with activity. The three-part waterwheel of the famous Qinhuai River from their previous life was particularly striking, especially the colorful lights emitted by the various precious objects on display, which made Hu Gao feel a little dizzy and reminiscent of the bright lights and vibrant nightlife of a big city.

  He casually asked a few passersby and inquired about the demon beast meat shop run by Wang Hu's sister, which was relatively dull compared to other prosperous shops.

  But what surprised Hu Gao was that the small shop was now filled with customers at every table, and each person's face was radiant with a bright smile, as if they were savoring the most exquisite food on their tongues.

  Yun Feng furrowed his brow, and what he saw in front of him was not the smiling faces of diners, but walls filled with greasy smoke, black and shiny tables and chairs, and those guys who spat out residual meat scraps when they ate. These scenes almost made him vomit at first sight.

  "Big sister, I am Wang Hu's friend, is he in?"

  Hu Gao didn't notice Yun Feng's expression, his eyes were attracted by a short-haired beauty who was concentrating on roasting in the shop, and he almost forgot the purpose of this trip.

  Even the smoke swirling in front of the barbecue grill couldn't obscure the beauty of the girl standing in front of Hu Gao, and the phrase "emerging from the mud without being stained" was tailor-made for her.

  It's hard to imagine a woman working in such an environment for years on end, yet still having a face as white as jade with a hint of red, especially the two small dimples beside her mouth, which seem like a masterpiece from God.

  Hú Gāo saw her, after hearing his question, subtly frown as if a spring silkworm was waking up, and her eyes emitted a bright light before immediately returning to calmness.

  "Little brother! Looking for you!" The beauty turned her head and shouted loudly towards the house.

  Hearing this voice that was like a thunderclap on a clear day, Hu Gao felt as if something had shattered inside him and he almost doubled over in agony.

  Alright, the voice was so hoarse, probably due to being choked by smoke..., he could only comfort his wounded heart like this.

  The next moment, Yun Feng, who was about to leave, saw a big fat man walking out of the inner room with two pieces of strangely shaped monster meat in his hands. The ground actually made a resonant sound with his footsteps, causing him to involuntarily stop and listen carefully.

  For Yunfeng, who had received a good education since childhood and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Hu Gao's brother was absolutely a genius at heavy music.

  "Sister, I'm here." Wang Hu's eyes seemed to only see a straight line, walking directly to his sister's barbecue stove, completely ignoring Yun Feng and Hu Gao standing beside him.

  "Hey, Wang Paozi, I'm telling you, haven't you gained more weight on your face recently?" Hu Gao said in a bad tone, the voices of the diners inside were too loud, causing his own voice to rise by eight degrees.

  Wang Hu slowly turned around, finally putting his gaze on Hu Gao's face filled with gloom. At first, he didn't react at all, but just as someone was about to get angry, he suddenly seemed to have discovered fresh demon meat and pounced directly onto Hu Gao's body.

  "Die, fatty! If you don't lose weight, you'll be miserable for the rest of your life!" Hu Gao was shocked and struggled frantically. This dead fatty hadn't been seen for several months, how could he have made more progress than himself? Just now, when he saw this guy pounce over, he naturally used all his strength to dodge, but unexpectedly, he was still caught by Wang Hu.

  Yun Feng on the other side was also startled, earlier Wang Hu's pounce had been within his range of perception, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Most importantly, he felt that even if it were him, things might not have turned out any better than they had for Hu Gao right now.

  "Hu Gao, you've finally come back, your tenth brother is in a terrible state now."

  Seeing Hu Gao's painful expression in his arms, Wang Tiger hurriedly and somewhat embarrassingly let him go.

  Hu Gao let out a long sigh, and then saw Wang Huo continuing to gnaw on the demon beast meat with an air of nonchalance, almost causing him to become breathless. However, upon hearing him mention the Ten Halls, he could only hold his breath and ask: "What's going on with the Ten Halls? Why are you also starting to speak in riddles?"

  "It was just recently that the principal suddenly announced that the second stage of the Martial Arts Competition would begin ahead of schedule. As a result, your team, the tenth team, proceeded without you and, surprisingly, Hu Dehua and Ji Fei made it all the way to the semifinals with ease. However, in the subsequent final match, although they ultimately emerged victorious, they were both severely injured by Dugu Yi, the martial artist from the third team."

  Watts, how could you start the match ahead of time while I'm not around?! Are the people from Martial Arts Institute shameless like this?! And that Dugu Yi, in a 3:2 situation, he still dared to make a ruthless move. Next time I see him, I'll definitely make him pay!

  "When does the final start, and are Hu Dehua and Ji Fei in the war court now?"

  "The final match was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but since two of the ten martial artists are currently being treated in the medical department for their injuries, it's likely that they won't be able to participate, so there's a possibility that tomorrow's final match might be cancelled."

  "Xuē te, cancelled? Didn't even ask if I agreed?" Hu Gao was enraged by Wang Hu's words. Although he didn't care about the ranking in the ordinary hall, as a top student, he still had a strong sense of collective honor. After all, it was because of his absence that the other two were seriously injured. He must make up for this loss.

  "Now that you're back, I suppose you won't break the rules and cancel the match, but are you sure you want to participate alone?" Wang Hu naturally knew about Hu Gao's abilities, but he had also watched this year's ordinary hall martial arts competition, where one of the four strong halls had easily defeated the seven halls that came to challenge them with just a single woman, it was simply unbearable to watch.

  Although the little five in Hu Gao's body had fallen asleep, he had already reached the state of Tongti, and naturally, he was not a warrior like Wang Hu who could see through him at the mid-term of Ningying. With his current strength, the ordinary hall's martial arts competition was truly meaningless, perhaps only the third stage of the bubble match in the future would have some challenge.

  "They're just a few jumping clowns, one hand is enough. Alright, these are just small things, I forgot to introduce you, this is my brother from the Dragon Scales Mountain Range, Yun Feng, the successor of the Wu Xu Sword Pavilion in Rain City." Hu Gao had already made up his mind and didn't need to dwell on this matter, "This is my good brother from Ning City, Wang Hu, just call him Wang Baozi, this guy has no other hobbies except for eating."

  Yun Feng nodded slightly, not because he was constrained by his identity, but because he was afraid that Wang Hu, the big fatty, would also give him a bear hug, which wouldn't be fun at all.
