The person whom Wu Yihan is protecting so fervently is bound to attract the attention of most people.
Everyone started to quietly observe Yang Chen.
Yet, no one dared to approach and make friends.
Both Wu Yihan and Bai Qinghong ca from lesser branches; Wu Yihan's father is Third Master Wu, and Bai Qinghong's status isn't low either.
The two are evenly matched, with no distinction of higher or lower.
If soone tried to befriend Yang Chen now, they'd certainly offend Wu Yihan.
That calculation isn't worth it.
So no one dared to step forward.
However, Wu Qiaoyun and Gu Xijun watched Yang Chen with so surprise.
"How did you end up connected to Wu Yihan?" Gu Xijun asked Yang Chen in astonishnt.
Yang Chen shrugged without responding.
Gu Xijun's beautiful eyes flickered with light; she thought for a mont and asked in a low voice, "Did he learn your identity?"
Yang Chen shook his head slightly.
Wu Qiaoyun looked at the two in surprise.
She could tell that they seed to have known each other for a long ti. And Yang Chen appeared to be hiding sothing deeper, far more than what he showed.
Before long, the banquet officially started.
Wu Yihan stepped to the center and spoke so formal words, like welcoming everyone to the event.
As a birthday banquet, gifts were naturally in order. After receiving the gifts, Wu Yihan naturally had to prepare so performances for everyone's entertainnt.
On-site, Wu Yihan invited a few famous celebrities to dance and sing, providing leisure entertainnt.
On another note, Wu Yihan also set up a ring for martial arts duels, of course, with so stakes for entertainnt.
Ancheng, known for its martial spirit, considered this kind of program a long-standing tradition.
Yang Chen led Gu Xijun and Wu Qiaoyun, joining the crowd moving to another hall.
In the hall, there was a ring specifically for combat.
Many people ca here; essentially, all those deed threatening by Jianzhao had arrived.
"Is this a private gambling match?" Gu Xijun frowned and whispered.
Yang Chen chuckled softly, "This is different from Ningchuan; you can't interfere with this sort of thing."
"I understand!" Since arriving in Ancheng, Gu Xijun had ceased being as reckless as she was in Ningchuan, her temperant having been tempered.
Bai Qinghong sat with a few individuals, looking toward Yang Chen's side, eyes flashing with a fierce glare.
Yang Chen only glanced at them, his interest waning.
Wu Yihan stood on the ring and looked at Yang Chen, nodding slightly.
Yang Chen nodded back slightly.
At the sa ti, Yang Chen whispered to Jianzhao and Night Fire, "Later, you two might go on stage; don't embarrass !"
"Rest assured!" The two were excited, eyes flashing with battle fever; they hadn't encountered strong enemies for a long ti.
The people here seed formidable.
With no weapons, only bare hands and feet, this is the kind of battle they had long anticipated, finally getting a chance for a thrilling duel.
Then, Wu Yihan loudly said, "Everyone is aware of the rules of the gambling match, so I won't dwell on them. The sa goes for today; co up to challenge, and the final winner gets a two million prize. Moreover, the betting parties must wager items of equal value; sparring won't count."
Having said that, Wu Yihan turned around and got off the stage.
Wu Honghai imdiately stepped up and cupped his fists at everyone, saying, "As the host, I'll go first to cheer everyone up. Ten thousand for betting, who's up?"
As soon as he finished, a muscular man with vigorous muscles stepped forward, laughing heartily, "Old Wu, don't be so stingy; how about fifty thousand?"
Seeing the newcor, Wu Honghai's face sunk a bit, saying, "Old Liu, it seems you've improved again lately!"
"Of course, or else I wouldn't dare challenge you, Wu Honghai!" Old Liu laughed heartily.
Wu Honghai snorted coldly, "Fifty thousand then; I hope you can take it away!"
As the first to go on stage and the host, Wu Honghai certainly couldn't just back down; even knowing the opponent had prepared beforehand, he had to fight!
"Make your move!" Wu Honghai said sternly.
"Hehehe!" Old Liu clenched his fists, making creaking sounds, warming up his muscles and joints, his body emitting sounds like exploding beans.
Jianzhao and Night Fire widened their eyes, ready to watch how Ancheng experts fought.
Wu Honghai roared and threw a punch, the gust of the punch whistling, blowing Old Liu's clothes with a rustling sound.
Yet Old Liu was unaffected; as Wu Honghai charged closer, he suddenly howled furiously, his muscles swelling as if inflated, resisting Wu Honghai's punch.
Bam!
Old Liu took a punch, staggered back three steps, his face slightly pale.
Seeing this, Wu Honghai's face also looked unpleasant.
"Hahaha!" Suddenly, Old Liu burst into laughter, saying, "Wu Honghai, is that all you've got!"
The people below were buzzing with discussions.
"Oh dear! Old Liu's Kung Fu has improved again; Old Wu's punch was ineffective!"
"Indeed, looks like Old Wu's in trouble."
"Using ga terminology, isn't this effectively unbreakable defense?"
"Deep mastered external Kung Fu is truly terrifying!"
Even Jianzhao was astonished, "Boss, this punch could be deadly, right? And Old Liu managed without a scratch, his resilience is astonishing!"
Yang Chen explained, "This is what they call external skills; it's like the legendary golden bell shield and iron cloth shirt that renders them invulnerable."
Jianzhao and Night Fire exchanged a look, shock in their hearts; they never thought such a thing existed.
On stage.
Old Liu shouted, "Now it's my turn!"
Shouting as he took a swift step forward.
Wu Honghai quickly dodged, simultaneously twisting his body, chopping viciously at Old Liu's neck.
Old Liu grinned maliciously and swiftly sidestepped, transforming himself into a human-shaped beast, charging at Wu Honghai.
Bam!
Wu Honghai failed to dodge and was directly sent flying off the ring, crashing into the wall, disoriented and confused.
"Hahaha!" Old Liu laughed heartily, pointing at Wu Honghai and saying, "Hurry up and pay!"
"Rest assured! You'll get your due!" Wu Honghai clutched his chest, glaring vengefully at Old Liu before walking off to the side.
"Who's next?" Old Liu's gaze shifted toward Yang Chen's direction.
Yang Chen's eyes slightly narrowed, knowing Old Liu intended to target him.
That Old Liu had stuck by Bai Qinghong before, indicating they were part of the sa group.
"Jianzhao." Yang Chen turned his head towards Jianzhao, "Confident?"
Jianzhao's eyes were cautious, speaking in a low voice, "His strength is formidable, defeating him…it's tough, but I will do my best!"
Yang Chen nodded slightly, "Don't let down!"
Yang Chen could see this Old Liu had only recently entered the Innate Realm, and external Kung Fu gave him an initial advantage, which led to Wu Honghai's defeat.
But facing the battle-experienced Jianzhao, it might be a different story.
"Let have a go at you!" Jianzhao removed his outer garnt, stepped up, and stood with Old Liu.
Feeling the chilling aura emanating from Jianzhao, Old Liu's expression turned slightly cautious.
