"Shen Bao Capsule?"
Upon hearing about these four people, both Hong He and Mu Yifeng's expressions changed, and even Hong Yang and Mu Xiang's faces dropped significantly.
Although Zhang nglong initially said this thing was poison, so far, a night had passed, and they hadn't felt any discomfort in their bodies.
Not only did they not suffer from pain or physical damage, but even when they woke up this morning, they felt energized, as if they had an endless supply of energy.
It was only when Zhang nglong spoke that they realized Zhang nglong didn't give them poison at all; it was actually a tonic!
If they had left with their people earlier, neither Hong Yang nor Mu Xiang would have been affected, and they wouldn't have had to pay any price.
"You were fooling us?" Hong Yang glared angrily at Zhang nglong. Despite his calm exterior, he spent the whole night on edge, fearing when the poison would suddenly take effect.
As for Mu Xiang, he was almost debilitated with anxiety throughout the night, suffering from low temperatures and ntal tornt from Zhang nglong. Even if he returned, he might need psychological treatnt for a while.
"So what if I was fooling you?" Zhang nglong raised a middle finger, "It's considered 'Love You' that I didn't kill you. I had to scare you to get my losses back."
"You punk, you..." Compared to the two young n, Hong He and Mu Yifeng were even more furious. They, two Dao Realm experts, had been fooled by a young man at the Spiritual Body Realm!
"What, are you still planning to cheat ?" Zhang nglong quickly hid behind Qi Congyun, "Old man, they are still threatening ?"
"You both, a bet's a bet, it's unsporting to renege now," Qi Congyun said lightly, surprised by Zhang nglong's cunning in duping two Dao Realm experts.
"Fine, fine, we lost today," Hong He sighed deeply, "Yang, I'll personally train you for the upcoming superpower recruitnt. Aim to reach Divine Breath Seventh Grade!"
"Grandpa, rest assured, I'll give it my all. I feel like I've touched the bottleneck, just need a bit more!" Hong Yang understood his grandfather's intentions.
Currently, Zhang nglong is soone he can't afford to offend. Above Dao Realm, he has Qi Congyun as soone who mastered Nine Nether Sunset Art as a backer. Below Dao Realm, Zhang summoned nurous powerful puppet entities.
But once they enter the superpower trials, his backups might not be usable. At that ti, it'll rely on true strength, and Zhang nglong, in Hong He's view, won't have much arrogance to wield.
Though Zhang nglong defeated a peak martial artist of Divine Breath Sixth Grade yesterday, most believe he used unsavory thods, and even if it's truly his skill, he's still alone while setting up many rivals.
"Sa goes for you," Mu Xiang, although he underestimated his grandson, knew the weight of a Heavenly Pride Order, "I don't expect stellar performance. But find a way to regain what you lost today. Rember, Mu Family blood runs through you."
"I understand, Grandpa!"
"Off you go!" Zhang nglong waved off the group.
If he encounters them again in the trials, Zhang nglong will teach them once more what "You can't beat your old man" ans.
"Your Excellency's strength is admirable, today I've broadened my horizons," Mu Nanxing bowed to Qi Congyun, "If I have any insights in the future, I'll surely seek you out for guidance."
"Always welco!" Qi Congyun replied generously.
...
"Amazing, in such a scenario, he still retreats unscathed. Just how skilled is he?"
"I dare say, he's the biggest dark horse of this superpower contest."
"Indeed, and who knows how much his ranking on the Heavenly Prides list can rise this ti."
"Word just ca in, his ranking soared to second place!"
"Second place? My heavens, doesn't that an as long as he performs normally during trials, he's almost certainly accepted by a superpower?"
"Yes, unless sothing unexpected happens during trials, such a ranking will surely catch the superpowers' eyes. Can't you tell? That Sunset Sect Elder is really looking after him."
Zhang nglong's actions incited jealousy and envy from many.
...
"Oh, second place now?" Zhang nglong heard the soft whispers around him, "I thought I'd hit the first place already, a bit regrettable."
Zhang nglong's eyes darted around before landing on Mu Nanxing.
"Wait a minute!" Just as Mu Nanxing was about to leave, Zhang nglong called out, "Did I say you can go?"
Mu Nanxing halted his steps, slowly turning, "Anything else?"
"Are you seriously asking what's up?" Zhang nglong barraged him with questions, "You're just a bystander, how dare you act against ? Did I provoke you? Did I sleep with your wife or hit your son for you to act on their behalf? What grudge do I have with you?"
"And now you dare turn away and leave? What do you take Gu Tianle for? I have dignity too!"
...
"How does he still want to stir trouble? He sent them away and gained as well, why not let it go? Isn't he worried about hassle?"
"But... he makes a fair point, right? The dispute is mainly with the Royal Family and Mu Family, not Mu Nanxing. If I were him, I'd be upset too!"
"What's he planning? Extort him for compensation too?"
"Probably, Gu Tianle is all about money, he might demand compensation."
"See, the drama isn't over yet!"
...
Mu Nanxing felt embarrassed by Zhang nglong's harsh rebuke, understanding his proactive actions would undoubtedly incur Zhang nglong's resentnt.
Perhaps many years later, should Zhang nglong beco a formidable figure, he could recall today's event for revenge. But if that day cos, it's far into the future; who knows what may unfold?
Yet he never imagined Zhang nglong wouldn't let this slide today.
"Gu Tianle, if it weren't for Elder Qi shielding you, I'd shred you to pieces!" Mu Nanxing didn't hide his animosity, unwilling to stomach being reprimanded by a youth.
"Coincidentally, I didn't plan to let you go either," Zhang nglong replied, "Although I won't kill you, you won't escape unscathed today."
Zhang nglong produced a Jade Hairpin, "Old man, I'm invoking my second request now."
"You rascal..." Qi Congyun was amused yet astounded; to him, Zhang's demands seed like a child's whims rather than strategic choices for the Jade Hairpin's higher purpose.
"What do you need to do?"
"Beat him up, and make it half-dead!"
