Chapter 289: Chapter 289: How Could It Be You?!

Wang Pengshan’s expression, actually, looked somewhat ugly.

Because he had already found out that the Li Family had invited a young powerhouse from somewhere this time, reportedly a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster.

Although it couldn’t be completely confirmed, since such news had spread, it certainly wasn’t without foundation.

As for Su Luo...

He did know that Su Luo had defeated Feng Qifei from the Bagua Sect at the entrance of the Li Family estate, but if that was the extent of his strength, it was still far from that of a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster.

All he could hope for now was that the person Wang Family had invited wasn’t a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster.

After all, a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster under thirty years of age was absolutely considered a peerless genius in the world of martial arts, exceedingly rare.

He hoped it was false news released by the Li Family.

Although he wasn’t confident inside, he still couldn’t show weakness outwardly, Wang Pengshan immediately sneered, "Whose deer the meat falls to is yet unknown. Aren’t you afraid you’ll get slapped in the face by saying such things now?"

"I didn’t expect that the Li Family would be so proud of picking up the trash we discarded. I really think the fortune of the Wang Family is about to run out." Li Duanmao wore a smug smile, now that he had climbed aboard the big tree that is the Qin Family of the Capital, he no longer placed the Wang Family in his eyes.

As for Su Luo, since he had already joined the Wang Family and fought for them, he was their enemy. With the Qin Family of the Capital to rely on, they naturally didn’t regard a genius of Su Luo’s caliber as a threat anymore.

"You..." Wang Pengshan was furious.

However, just at this moment, a voice drifted lightly, "Mr. Wang, if a dog bites you, do you bite back?"

Wang Pengshan was startled, "Of course not."

"In that case, why bother with a dog’s bark?" Su Luo said indifferently.

Wang Pengshan burst into laughter, "Mr. Su is right, why should I bother with a dog’s bark."

Comparing themselves to dogs?

Li Cangshan and Li Duanmao, were instantly enraged.

"Su Luo, are you seeking death?" Li Cangshan looked towards Su Luo, and the pressure of a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster instantly exploded.

Seeing this, Wang Pengshan immediately stood up, and the aura inside him also erupted on the spot.

The might of an Eighth Rank Grandmaster directly confronted Li Cangshan.

"Are you trying to break the rules?" Wang Pengshan looked at Li Cangshan with cold eyes, even though his opponent was a rank higher in the martial realm, he was not frightened.

"Good, I hope the two of you can continue to be so calm later on the stage." Li Cangshan’s eyes narrowed slightly, he retracted his own aura and pressure.

"By the way, I’m not afraid to tell you that today, our Li Family’s combatant is a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster from the Capital. I would like to see how you will respond," Li Cangshan huffed coldly before leaving.

"Dad, why do we disclose our trump card to them?" Li Duanmao asked in confusion after returning.

Li Cangshan, confident and self-assured, laughed, "Didn’t you see the expressions of those from the Wang Family? They look as if they’ve swallowed a dead baby. I want them to know defeat before the battle, seeing their frustrated expressions makes me very happy."

"I am really looking forward to whether they will concede defeat outright, losing face first, or if they send that Su Luo to the stage to suffer a terrible defeat and then lose all dignity?"

Li Duanmao then understood his father’s thoughts. A hint of excitement also appeared on his face as he felt that perhaps in a few years, they could completely trample down the Wang Family. By then, all the mines in the Tongshan region would fall into their hands.

And the Li Family would reign supreme.

.

Elsewhere.

Seeing the unpleasant expressions on the faces of Wang Pengshan and others, Su Luo didn’t go to comfort them.

He knew that right now, nothing he said would be as effective as defeating the Li Family later on.

"Family Head, for this fight, should we simply concede in advance? If we forfeit, we can still find an excuse. But if we lose in the ring later on, that would be too much of a loss of face."

Someone from the Wang Family suggested in private.

Wang Pengshan said in a heavy voice, "Even if we lose, we should lose in the ring, lose in battle, how can we shrink from combat out of fear?"

Though his words were strong and resonant, clearly, he had no hope of victory for today’s fight.

Afterward, Wang Pengshan sighed and turned to Su Luo, whispering, "Mr. Su, when you are on the ring later, I hope you can hold on for a few more moves. Even if you lose, don’t let our Wang Family lose too disgracefully. If you get injured, I will take care of all medical expenses. Can you do that?"

Su Luo smiled helplessly, "What if I say, I can win?"

Wang Pengshan was taken aback.

Knowing that the opponent was a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster, how could Su Luo still be so confident?

"Didn’t you say that your realm is only that of a Second-Grade Grandmaster?" Wang Pengshan said somewhat uncertainly, hoping for a surprising answer from Su Luo. He hoped that Su Luo had been playing possum and that his actual realm was higher than he had thought.

Su Luo said, "If we’re talking about corresponding realms, yes, you could say I’m only at the Second Grade. However, my strength cannot be judged solely by my realm. If Mr. Wang believes me, then let’s just wait for the results."

Wang Pengshan wanted to say something but hesitated.

He knew that Su Luo’s strength couldn’t merely be judged by his Martial Arts realm, otherwise, Su Luo wouldn’t have defeated Feng Qifei, a Third-Grade Grandmaster, with his Second-Grade Grandmaster’s capabilities.

But the Li Family has a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster.

The gap is too big.

He ultimately couldn’t bring himself to believe that Su Luo could defeat a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster, yet he didn’t refute Su Luo’s words. Instead, he silently prayed in his heart, hoping that Su Luo could hold on for a few more moves on the stage without losing too miserably. That way, the Wang Family’s face could be saved, at least a little.

On the other side.

The Li Family camp.

Li Cangshan inquired, "How much longer until Young Master Qin arrives?"

Li Duanmao replied, "I’ve just asked Jiang Ran, and he said that Young Master Qin has already come but is staying somewhere quiet outside. He doesn’t like noisy environments and will only come over when the fight starts."

"That’s good," Li Cangshan said with a smile. As long as Young Master Qin arrived, everything else could naturally be arranged according to his preferences.

Like this.

About ten more minutes passed.

The time reached ten o’clock in the morning.

The host and referee of the competition, Yiling, personally took the stage, made a brief speech, and then announced the official start of the martial contest.

"Please welcome the Li Family contestant!"

With that announcement, many spectators who had come for the event turned their gazes towards where the Li Family was seated, curious whether the Li Family had sent one of their own or had hired an external helper for the contest.

After all, it was customary in such contests to enlist outside assistance.

Where is the person?

However, as many spectators turned to look in the direction of the Li Family, they noticed that no one from the Li Family was standing up to enter the stage.

In the midst of the crowd’s confusion.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

"Look over there..."

Only then did the crowd realize that someone was stepping through the air above their heads, moving as if they possessed light body skills from a film, and after a few bounds, had landed on the stage.

"My goodness!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment.

This was especially true for those unfamiliar with Martial Arts, who were utterly astounded at that moment.

"Young Master Qin has appeared."

Li Cangshan, Li Duanmao, and the rest of the Li Family relaxed upon seeing Young Master Qin’s appearance, and then they turned to look at the Wang Family’s direction with pride.

"Please welcome the Wang Family contestant!"

As soon as the announcement was made, Su Luo stood up, leaped into the air, and landed lightly on the stage.

"He actually dares to go up; I admire his courage!"

"The Wang Family must be at their wit’s end!"

Upon seeing Su Luo, the Li Family side sneered in derision.

However.

Li Jiangran, who had just pushed through the crowd to arrive at the Li Family’s seats, looked up and his expression suddenly changed: "How is it him?"

On the stage.

Qin Tian had been rather indifferent at first; he didn’t take this kind of martial contest very seriously, especially since he knew that his opponent’s Martial Arts realm was inferior to his own. He had planned to make a quick appearance, defeat the opponent, and then ask the Li Family for the Spirit Storage Map.

But now.

Upon seeing Su Luo, he was instantly dumbfounded: "How... How could it be you?!"
