Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Martial King Arrives

Seeing Wu Min come up, Xiao Ge immediately greeted her warmly and stepped forward enthusiastically. After all, they were from the same school, and Xiao Ge was now Wu Xia’s number-one admirer.

"Wu Xia, you’re here? We’ve been waiting for you forever!" Xiao Ge waved with a dashing smile.

But Wu Xia only gave a somewhat distant nod and did not respond.

Xiao Ge didn’t mind and instantly said with a chuckle, "Now that everyone’s here, shall we head up together?"

"Sure! It’s just a pity that Chen Qian couldn’t make it due to something coming up. Otherwise, the whole gang would be complete!" Bi Jie said with a hearty laugh.

Shi Tian immediately joked with a smile, "Who doesn’t know Chen Qian couldn’t come? You’re the one most disappointed! But hey, Chen Qian is the first beauty host of our provincial TV station. I hear she’s even called Qian Goddess online, with love letters piling as high as the Purple Mist Building. You don’t stand a chance!"

"Shut up! Nobody thinks you’re mute,"

Bi Jie retorted angrily, making the group burst into laughter. Finally, Xiao Ge motioned for them to head up before lunchtime, and they started walking toward the summit of Purple Mist Mountain.

But soon, they all stopped.

Because the scenic spot originally at the summit was now guarded by a group of armed military personnel. The place appeared extremely heavily protected, and tourists attempting to enter were all stopped.

"Woah! What’s going on here? Is there some big event today?" Shi Tian frowned and said.

Zheng Tan, sharp-eyed, noticed the insignia on the soldiers’ uniforms and took a deep breath before saying, "Not sure, but these soldiers appear to be from the provincial Special Forces Unit!"

"Special Forces Unit?"

The group gasped collectively.

With their backgrounds as privileged kids, they knew a thing or two about Special Forces—the elite of the elite in the provincial military unit!

They wouldn’t ordinarily mobilize unless there was something incredibly significant.

Judging by the level of security, could someone important be here?

Thinking about this, Bi Jie, Xiao Ge, and others felt their nerves begin to tremble.

But Han Fenfen’s eyes lit up as she said, "There must be some big shot inside! Maybe even high-level officials. Let’s go check it out?"

"But..."

Bi Jie was about to protest when Han Fenfen mocked, "You guys aren’t chickening out, are you?"

"No way! But with security this tight, how do we get in?" Bi Jie quickly explained.

"What’s the problem!"

Han Fenfen grinned mischievously and said, "We’ve been here plenty of times. Don’t you remember that hidden path?"

Bi Jie and the others suddenly remembered...

"Hurry up! Quick!"

On a hidden trail behind Purple Mist Scenic Area, Han Fenfen led the way and excitedly waved for the others to follow.

Not long after.

Bi Jie, Xiao Ge, Wu Xia, and the rest cautiously emerged from the trail.

Bi Jie grumbled, "Fenfen, isn’t this a bad idea?"

"If I’m not afraid, why should you be! Look, there are so many people!"

Han Fenfen pointed toward the scenic area.

The group followed her gaze and saw that there were indeed a lot of people gathered.

At the edge of the vast scenic area stood many individuals, each exuding an aura of commanding authority that demanded respect.

Their presence was far more intimidating than anything their elders, or even the top bosses of Su Province’s thirteen cities, could display.

"This... this many people—all of them big shots?" Bi Jie and Xiao Ge stared in disbelief.

"Who cares! Since we’re already here, Wu Xia, let’s go see what’s actually going on!"

Fearless, Han Fenfen grabbed Wu Xia and advanced forward.

Left behind, Bi Jie and the other boys saw the girls weren’t scared and reluctantly mustered up courage to follow.

But just as they were about to take a step, they overheard a conversation between two nearby men, one middle-aged and the other dressed in combat gear:

"Mr. Zhao, how many years has it been since we martial artists witnessed such a grand event?"

"Ha-ha! Since the Yanjing battle back in the day, it must’ve been over thirty years!"

The man in combat gear sighed, "Anyone below the Innate level is but an ant! The showdown between the young Martial King and the overseas first-ranked Wang Tian—this kind of spectacle happens only once in a century!"

"Indeed! We’re all here for the chance to witness their magnificence. Overseas first-ranked Wang Tian absolutely lives up to his title. But I do hope the young Martial King doesn’t disappoint us!" The middle-aged man exclaimed.

The man in combat gear snorted dismissively, "Young Martial King? What a joke! I’d say it’s mostly hype. I’m only here to see Wang Tian in action!"

"Fair enough!"

The middle-aged man laughed and shook his head, then fell silent, joining the man in combat gear in gazing toward the towering summit in the middle of the scenic area.

Martial artists? Young Martial King? Overseas first-ranked Wang Tian?

Hearing these unfamiliar terms, Bi Jie and the others froze in confusion, unable to make sense of any of it.

"Hey, what do you think they’re talking about?" Han Fenfen asked hastily.

Even though she usually had an outgoing personality, the tense atmosphere made her instinctively lower her voice.

But Bi Jie and the others were as clueless as she was and shook their heads in befuddlement.

However, Zheng Tan thought for a moment before saying, "I think I know something! You know, my dad is the head of the City Bureau, so I’ve heard about martial artists before!"

"Tell us!" Han Fenfen urged.

Zheng Tan quietly explained, "Martial artists are like those masters you see on TV—flying over rooftops, killing with inner strength—those kinds of abilities are nothing for them. Oh, and you’ve heard about Zhou Tian, the special Flame Dragon Association guest, right? Well, he’s a martial artist!"

Zhou Tian?

The group suddenly understood.

They had seen Zhou Tian in action before and heard that when he first joined the Flame Dragon Association, one kick had shattered the entire floor of their hall. That level of power had been terrifying to them!

Yet before they could finish discussing, a commotion erupted.

On Purple Mist Mountain’s peak, an elder suddenly descended from the sky, landing lightly atop a pine tree, like a feather brushing the earth, and gazed down imperiously at everyone below.

The Martial King had arrived!

"Greetings, Martial King!"

As the elder appeared, every martial artist in the scenic area bowed in unison to offer their respects.

This was the Innate Martial King, the absolute ruler of the martial arts world. Even though this elder resided overseas, his presence exerted an unparalleled aura of dominance over all martial artists!

The elder stood proudly on the mountain peak, overlooking the bowing crowd, yet did not even glance at them. Instead, he crossed his legs and closed his eyes to meditate.

Witnessing the scene, Han Fenfen couldn’t help but stick out her tongue and whisper, "He’s so full of himself!"

"Young lady, hold your tongue!"

The middle-aged man who spoke earlier glared at Han Fenfen and reprimanded her sternly.

Han Fenfen startled, trembling all over, and quickly hid behind Wu Xia. The rest of the group also shrank back in fear at the sudden oppressive aura of the middle-aged man.

Only Zheng Tan, being the son of the City Bureau head, had heard a bit about martial artists. He nervously cupped his hands and said, "Sen... seniors, we’re newcomers here and don’t understand the rules. Please forgive us!"

"Judging by your appearances, you’ve barely entered the beginner stage. Your movements are unsteady, your breathing chaotic—clearly, you haven’t even reached Ming energy yet!" The middle-aged man remarked dismissively.

Nonetheless, his tone softened slightly due to Zheng Tan’s apology.

Zheng Tan had no idea what Ming energy was, but he still forced himself to respond respectfully, "Senior’s insight is astonishing. We’re just here to broaden our horizons. Would you be willing to enlighten us little novices?"

"Enlighten you? Ha-ha, fine! Since you asked, I’ll share a couple of things!"
