C265 Surrender If You Want to Fight or Get Lost If You Don't Want to Fight!'!(2)

Woo Zhengyang was certain that this person was either Helian Bozhong, the second-ranked inner disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect, or Fu Chuan, the third-ranked. The sect's robes were standardized: outer disciples wore gray, with shades indicating rank, while inner disciples wore blue, also varying in shade. This person was young, still within the disciple age range, and his robe was neither gray nor blue, indicating a significant status. Besides Helian Bozhong and Fu Chuan, Woo Zhengyang couldn't think of anyone else in the sect with such standing whom he might have offended.

"Senior Brother Fu!" The disciple leading Woo Zhengyang called out, bowing slightly, confirming Woo's suspicion that this was indeed Fu Chuan, the third-ranked inner disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect.

"At the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, don't bring just anyone into the sect's grounds. Those who are only here to watch should handle things on their own," Fu Chuan admonished the disciple. Although he was speaking to the disciple, Fu Chuan's eyes were fixed on Woo Zhengyang, his mocking smile making his disdain clear.

"But Senior Brother Woo is also an inner disciple..."

"There are many inner disciples. If they all come here and cause a disturbance, what kind of order would that be?"

"Since when did the Profound Heaven Sect become yours, Fu Chuan? Or is it that you call the shots now?" Woo Zhengyang said calmly.

Woo Zhengyang knew well enough that after he had beaten up Bi Qingbo and Lei Zhiye within the Profound Heaven Sect, Helian Bozhong and Fu Chuan held a grudge against him. So, Fu Chuan's current hostility was expected.

But knowing this didn't change anything. Woo Zhengyang didn't think he had done anything wrong and wasn't about to let Fu Chuan mock him without consequence.

"Whether I call the shots in the Profound Heaven Sect doesn't matter. But as the third-ranked disciple in the inner sect and the leader of the Profound Gang, what I say should go for a newcomer like you!"

"Leader of the Profound Gang? Third-ranked inner disciple? If you want to use that status to suppress me, then accept my challenge!"

Woo Zhengyang's thoughts were straightforward: if Fu Chuan believed his status made him superior, then Woo would simply take that status for himself.

Fu Chuan was taken aback that Woo Zhengyang would directly challenge him. This guy was audacious, but wasn't this a bit too arrogant? He had only been in the inner sect for a few days and already dared to challenge him. Did he really think that being the second-ranked inner disciple meant he was a pushover?

"Quite the nerve you have! Do you think that just because I didn't punish you for attacking my people the other day, as I was preparing for the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, that I'm afraid of you? Or do you believe your array master's skills are unbeatable? Ha! You only know a little about arrays. Everyone knows the formation you used against those twenty-five clan leaders was pre-arranged."

Fu Chuan burst into laughter.

“All this talk just shows you're scared inside, trying to cover it up!” Woo Zhengyang remarked calmly.

There were things Woo Zhengyang didn't fully understand due to his age, but he had a keen insight into human nature. His words stopped Fu Chuan's laughter abruptly, confirming Woo Zhengyang's suspicions.

“Me, scared? That's a joke! Since joining the Profound Heaven Sect, I haven't lost a single fight. Even against Helian Bozhong, it was a draw! You think you're worthy of my effort?” Fu Chuan scoffed.

Despite his bravado, the sudden halt in his laughter betrayed him. He was indeed wary of Woo Zhengyang.

Opinions varied on Woo Zhengyang's skills and whether there were flaws in his methods. But no matter how much people speculated, the truth was uncertain, and Fu Chuan wasn't willing to take risks, especially after Woo Zhengyang had already bested members of the Heavenly Martial and Profound Heaven groups. They might dismiss him outwardly, but inwardly, they were all more cautious.

“I could say the same to you. Don't worry about my techniques; you're not even worth the effort!”

“You...” Fu Chuan's temper flared, his previously haughty expression now replaced with anger.

Woo Zhengyang ignored the comment and continued, "And don't go boasting about never being defeated. I may not know your exact ranking in the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, but you must have faced Moh Lunhui, right? How did that turn out?"

The association uses a round-robin system to ensure fairness, meaning every Heavenly Martial Seed in Hibernation Dragon City would have faced Moh Lunhui and likely lost. So how could you, Fu Chuan, have been an exception?

"You... you dare to lecture me when you couldn't even face Moh Lunhui?" Fu Chuan's bravado was shattered by Woo Zhengyang's words, and he flew into a rage.

"As for what happened that day, I had my reasons. I'm here today to find Moh Lunhui, but since you're so eager, I'll challenge you first. If you dare to accept, let's fight; if not, then get out of my way!"
