Faced with gazes that spewed fire, Yang Feilong didn't tremble in his legs, but he felt considerable pressure. He wasn't confident he could win against several of the formidable ones.
If they all attacked at once, what else could he do but flee?
This was no ordinary world. The entire room was filled with cultivators, hundreds of them, all at the Foundation Establishment or Innate realm!
Oh, there were a few disciples from the Murong family who weren't at this level, but they were merely present as escorts.
Murong Qiufeng, on the other hand, wore an expression of astonishment. "No way? Since when did my sister and Yang Feilong get together? Did I miss something these past few days?"
Yang Feilong's agreement to help Murong Qiuyue stage this act wasn't just for the suitors, but also for the Murong family members. That's why Murong Qiufeng was so shocked. He then looked at his sister with a teasing gaze. "I asked you to get together before, and you hit me. Now, after just a few days, you're already together?"
The reason Yang Feilong and Murong Qiuyue were delayed in appearing was precisely to discuss the details of their act. Yang Feilong was experienced in such matters, but Murong Qiuyue had no prior experience. Otherwise, if it were discovered, their efforts would be in vain!
It might even become a laughingstock.
Lu Yao, Bi Xin, and Deng Yixiao wore the most unpleasant expressions. Their cultivation was also the strongest present, all reaching the sixth level of Foundation Establishment or the sixth level of Innate realm. Among them, only Lu Yao was on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings, simply because he was the youngest, only twenty-eight years old. Bi Xin and Deng Yixiao were both just past thirty.
Lu Yao was near the bottom of the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings, so it was understandable that Bi Xin and Deng Yixiao weren't on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings.
Of course, the strength of the latter two was no weaker than Lu Yao's. As for who was stronger, everyone believed their own strength was the greatest.
Lu Yao gave a signal to one of the men.
Immediately, a young man stepped out from the crowd. "Yang Feilong, is it? To be favored by Miss Qiuyue, you must have some impressive skills, right?"
Yang Feilong, having accepted this task, naturally knew there would be some challenges. After all, the person he liked suddenly had a boyfriend, and many would be displeased. The cultivator who stepped forward was at the third level of Foundation Establishment.
"Impressive skills? I have a few, but what does that have to do with you?" Yang Feilong said calmly.
"..." Hearing Yang Feilong's response, the man's breathing hitched.
This guy wasn't playing by the rules at all!
How was he supposed to respond to such an answer?
"I'd like to spar with you. Do you agree?" the man asked, taking a deep breath and speaking in a low voice.
Since you won't answer as I expect, I'll ask directly. Let's see how you respond now.
"I disagree!" Yang Feilong said plainly.
Murong Qiuyue almost burst out laughing. Yang Feilong's answer was something even she hadn't expected. Of course, she didn't think Yang Feilong was inferior to the other person, but why didn't Yang Feilong accept the challenge? After a moment's thought, she understood. If Yang Feilong accepted, he would likely face a barrage of challenges afterward!
Yang Feilong was still too young. He could handle some third-level Foundation Establishment cultivators, but what about the stronger ones?
Especially those three. She didn't have much confidence in Yang Feilong. Based on the strength he displayed not long ago, he was only at the third level of Foundation Establishment.
However, she didn't know that Yang Feilong's cultivation had progressed significantly during this period. If she knew, she would likely have more faith in him.
"Are you scared?" the man sneered at Yang Feilong.
"You're too weak, not worth the effort!" Yang Feilong shrugged, a hint of playfulness on his lips.
Do you want to spar with me and embarrass me? How could I let you have your way?
In fact, Yang Feilong wasn't afraid of the three strongest individuals among them. However, sparring with the weaker ones was meaningless to him. Moreover, if he agreed, the challenges would be endless, wouldn't that be annoying?
"You..." The man trembled with anger. He had challenged Yang Feilong intending to defeat him and humiliate him. But now, he was the one being humiliated!
He didn't have designs on Murong Qiuyue. No, that wasn't entirely true; he knew the vast difference between himself and Lu Yao, and their family depended on the Lu family. He was like a subordinate to Lu Yao. He had stepped forward to probe Yang Feilong's strength, but now, what had it become?
"What about me?" Yang Feilong put his hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping across the entire hall, his face devoid of any fear. "I know many of you here are suitors for my girlfriend. However, I also want to warn you all, don't try to poach my girlfriend. First, you can't succeed. Second, it's very immoral, isn't it? Of course, if anyone wants to know why I've gained Qiu Yue's favor, perhaps it's because I'm too handsome!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao's face instantly turned dark. Oh no, it was already dark, and now it was even darker!
Earlier, Yang Feilong had asked Murong Qiuyue why she had no feelings for Lu Yao. After all, his family background was slightly stronger than the Murong family, and Lu Yao himself was a prodigy on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings, appearing excellent in every aspect. But after seeing him, Yang Feilong understood. Lu Yao was too ugly!
Of course, he wasn't so ugly that he couldn't be seen. Among these cultivators, his appearance was the most ordinary!
Calling him ordinary was actually a compliment!
Lu Yao clenched his fists, his expression grim and dark. He felt that Yang Feilong was deliberately targeting him!
Murong Qiuyue's face also flushed. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yang Feilong. This guy was speaking the truth!
Just as men liked beautiful women, women also liked handsome men. Yang Feilong was so handsome and extraordinary that not only Murong Qiuyue liked him, but some of the women present also had sparkling eyes.
"Where did this Yang Feilong come from? I've never seen him before."
"But what he said is true. He is indeed incomparably handsome. My heart is fluttering just looking at him. If he weren't Murong Qiuyue's boyfriend, I'd really want to intervene!"
"Even if he is Murong Qiuyue's boyfriend, you can still try to win him over. I think if you succeed, very few men here wouldn't be grateful to you. Especially Lu Yao!"
"Lu Yao? Although his talent and strength are good, it's a pity he's not my type! He's too ordinary-looking. If he reached the average level, I might consider him."
"......"
Many women couldn't help but start discussing.
"Yang Feilong, men attract others with their talent. Is it too disgraceful to talk about your appearance?" someone, unable to stand Yang Feilong's self-praise, sneered.
