C275 Who Is the Number One Disciple!(2)
Woo Zhengyang couldn't understand why Moh Lunhui was so eager to see him dead, but he knew what he needed to do. Of course, if Moh Lunhui found out Woo Zhengyang was here, he might come out to challenge him directly. If Nie Fengyu showed up, he might even bring Woo Zhengyang into the inner city. But all of that felt too passive, and Woo Zhengyang didn't like being passive.
"Mr. Zhengyang, you actually have another chance to get into the inner city!" Fu Chuan spoke up just as Woo Zhengyang was unsure of his next move.
"Oh? What way?"
"Forget about what comes next. For now, you're an inner disciple. If you represent the Profound Heaven Sect at the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association... I doubt anyone would stop you from entering the inner city."
"Ha... and to think the leader of the Xuan Gang would lower himself to flatter a newcomer. Such a rival is truly beneath us from the Tian Gang," sneered a disciple standing next to Helian Bozhong, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"And what good is flattery? Don't forget, the Heavenly Martial Seed for the association was decided long ago. Even if someone wanted to give it up, the Heavenly Martial Sect wouldn't agree," another disciple laughed.
As Fu Chuan was Helian Bozhong's rival, the Xuan Gang disciples naturally got caught in the crossfire. This trip to Heavenly Martial City, aside from Fu Chuan, who was the Heavenly Martial Seed, the rest of the disciples were from the Tian Gang. It was clear that even though Fu Chuan was part of the team, he was very much alone, as evidenced by the day he stood solitary while Helian Bozhong and his group made a grand entrance.
At this moment, Fu Chuan suddenly spoke up, naturally sparking a lot of controversy.
With a slight smile, Fu Chuan said, "Let him? With Mr. Zhengyang's skills, does he need me to step aside? My Heavenly Martial Seed is indeed fixed, but there is another Heavenly Martial Seed that isn't!"
As soon as Fu Chuan finished speaking, Helian Bozhong burst into laughter, "Ha ha... Fu Chuan, are you suggesting he challenge me? Birds of a feather flock together, and after becoming close with this guy, you've become just as arrogant."
Woo Zhengyang was completely confused, not understanding how he ended up being challenged by Helian Bozhong.
Seeing Woo Zhengyang's confusion, Fu Chuan quickly explained, "Mr. Zhengyang, you might not know, but there are actually two types of Heavenly Martial Seeds. The first type is contested by countries in the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association. The second type doesn't require participation in the association; it's directly given to the top disciple of each sect!"
With this explanation, Woo Zhengyang understood. Helian Bozhong was chosen as the second type of Heavenly Martial Seed.
If Woo Zhengyang could claim the title of top disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect in front of so many people, the Heavenly Martial Seed would naturally change hands.
Having sparred with Woo Zhengyang before, Fu Chuan knew well the terrifying extent of Woo Zhengyang's combat power, which is why he made such a suggestion. His intention was also to use Woo Zhengyang to put Helian Bozhong in his place, a small scheme that Woo Zhengyang didn't mind.
Woo Zhengyang was already displeased with the actions of the Grand Elder, and Helian Bozhong had sent people to trouble him as well. Both emotionally and logically, Woo Zhengyang felt no qualms about taking action against them, and helping Fu Chuan in the process was no big deal.
However, Woo Zhengyang suddenly realized he might not need to go through so much trouble. The Profound Iron Number One Token of the Profound Heaven Sect was in his possession, making him the true top disciple of the inner sect. Wasn't the specific Heavenly Martial Seed meant to be his all along?
"Yesterday, I wanted to teach you a lesson, but you ran off pretty quickly. So, how about it now? Do you dare challenge me?" Woo Zhengyang was about to take out the Profound Iron Number One Token when Helian Bozhong said this.
"Challenge you? Are you even worthy?"
Woo Zhengyang didn't hide his disdain, but Helian Bozhong didn't care, laughing wildly, "Haha... I knew it. This kid's so-called challenge to Moh Lunhui was just a pretext. He doesn't have the guts. Am I worthy? Does he even know what he's made of?"
"All bark and no bite..."
Helian Hanhai also breathed a sigh of relief, scoffing. When Woo Zhengyang mentioned challenging Moh Lunhui, and Fu Chuan stirred the pot by suggesting Woo Zhengyang challenge Helian Bozhong first, Helian Hanhai was a bit worried. After all, Woo Zhengyang was indeed a bit unpredictable.
Helian Bozhong, full of youthful vigor, couldn't back down in front of so many people, even if he considered it. Helian Hanhai, however, hoped to avoid such a scene.
It wasn't until Woo Zhengyang showed no intention of challenging Helian Bozhong that Helian Hanhai felt relieved.
"Ignore this clown. Let's go inside," Helian Hanhai said, striding toward the city gate.
Just as he took a couple of steps, Woo Zhengyang spoke up again to Helian Bozhong.
"You don't have what it takes for me to challenge you! And there's no need for it either! Because the Heavenly Martial Seed was never yours to begin with!"
As he spoke, Woo Zhengyang revealed the Profound Iron Number One Token, continuing, "Take a good look. This is the Profound Iron Number One Token from the Profound Heaven Sect. I'm the true top disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect!"
