Chapter 770 - Sus
Chapter 770: Sus
“Whew…” Jiang Feng heaved a sigh of relief after he won the contest.
Not only did he relieve himself of his irritation, but he had also won a million gold pieces.
It might have looked easy, but it was quite difficult in reality.
Those in the Xingyue Area were either natives or elites that had been chosen from the other areas.
As someone who had reached Heaven Realm Five Stars and was capable of leading his own teams, it proved that he was also one of the top elites.
He also had the ability to fight two or three at the same rank.
As he was both more experienced and skilled than he was, it was a fight that was quite difficult to win.
He understood it by looking at those dozens of wounds on him. If he did not manage to dodge all those attacks, he would have already lost.
As for tricking… How was he supposed to win without tricking him?
Not to mention the use of strategies was also part of one’s strength. The reason that Tian Chong lost was that he had underestimated his enemies, and the way he fought was too chaotic.
“A loss is a loss. Now, do as we promised.” Jiang Feng smiled at Tian Chong. “I don’t like to have no opportunities to change our relationship, but I simply hated how you looked at me earlier. I don’t need the three kowtows. I’ll change it to 500,000 gold pieces each. And so, give me a total of 2.5 million. If you don’t have that much, then we can do as promised!”
Tian Chong looked at Jiang Feng as he gritted his teeth.
He turned around and glanced at everyone there, and then saw Zhou Botong nodding at him. He could feel his gums bleeding. He then said, “Fine, I’ll give it to you! But I still have something to say to you. As a newbie, you should have the attitude of one!”
His last sentence was a reminder to Jiang Feng, but it was more of a threat.
While he was not able to defeat Jiang Feng in the ring because his powers were being suppressed, when he was not in the ring, his power was able to completely dominate Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng did not even need to think to know that as soon as he left Xingyue City and went to the wild, he would be hunted down by Tian Chong.
2.5 million gold pieces was a very large amount, and that large amount of money was saved in a Gold Coin Card.
He took the Gold Coin Card from Tian Chong with a smile and said, “Thank you. I’ll remember that.”
He jumped down the ring and went over to Zhou Botong, and then said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Senior Zhou. I went overboard!”
Not only was Zhou Botong not angry, but he also smiled and said, “Hehe, that was nothing. The disciples that I have accepted are still inadequate. I must thank you instead for subduing their arrogance. Right, are you sure you do not want to be my disciple?”
“No, it seems that they are not welcoming of me. I’m not going to stay around.” Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile.
At this time, the handsome man took a step forward and extended his hand, and he said with a smile, “Jiang Feng, right? I am my master’s Eldest Disciple, Xue Cheng. I want to invite you into my team!”
Jiang Feng shook his hand and then said, “Hello. If you had invited me at the very beginning, I might have considered it. But now… I’m sorry, I prefer to be alone!”
With that, he then turned around and left Tianya Pavilion.
Originally, he wanted to learn the Technique of Ambidexterity from Zhou Botong. But it seemed that there was no more hope for that.
But he let it go after giving it some thought.
The Technique of Ambidexterity required great wisdom and potential. There was nothing much he could learn anyway. If Tian Chong knew the Technique of Ambidexterity, he would not be using a single-handed sword, but a pair of twin swords during the earlier battle.
If he really had mastered it, then he must be willing to pay a heavy price to win that battle.
However, Xue Cheng gave him quite a good impression. He did not see him when he had just arrived at Tianya Pavilion. As such, he must have only reached some time after. He was also one of the captains of Zhou Botong’s teams.
He guessed that there was a high chance Xue Cheng had already mastered the Technique of Ambidexterity. He had already reached Heaven Realm Eight Star. If he also knew the Technique of Ambidexterity, his power would be quite terrifying.
If he were to challenge Xue Cheng instead, he would be the one at the receiving end of the beating.
Other than his power, he also saw wisdom in Xue Cheng’s eyes. He was not someone simple.
After he left the Tianya Pavilion, he was somewhat lost.
He did not know where he should go!
If he were to go out to kill monsters, that was not possible because if Chong Tian were to find him, he would no doubt be in huge trouble. Not only would he lose all the money he just gained, but he might also end up dead.
“Fine, I suppose I should walk around the city,” He mumbled to himself as he walked toward the center of the city.
However, he had just walked a few steps when he saw a man having his back against the wall in a very cool pose. His violet eyes staring in front of him.
The man was wearing simple garb. His face looked Asian, and he had purple hair. He was wearing a headband and had stubbles on his face. He looked like someone that was quite calm and mature.
“Hm? Sus?” The man looked too unique and so he could not stop himself and looked at the man’s stats. He did not expect that he would be the previous top ranker of the Tianji Leaderboard, Sus.
When one goes out and meets someone from the same place where one originated from, it would be normal for one to feel warm.
He walked over without thinking twice as he looked at Sus.
When he was in front of Sus, Jiang Feng was somewhat speechless. Despite him staring right ahead, he was treating him as if he was invisible.
“Sus?” He extended his hand and waved it in front of him, and called out to him curiously.
Sus blinked as he seemed to have snapped out of it.
When his eyes focused on Jiang Feng, he was surprised, “Why are you out so soon? I thought that I would have to wait for a few days before I could see you.”
“You’re waiting for me?” Jiang Feng did not expect that he was waiting for him.
‘You mean you waited for me until you fell asleep? If it wasn’t because I noticed you, you were going to wait for me for an eternity?’
Sus then asked, “Did you join the Tianya Pavillion?”
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, “No.”
“Really?!” Sus became thrilled.
“Why are you so excited?” Jiang Feng asked.
“Haha! I finally found someone! Do you want to form a party with me?” Sus asked.
“You didn’t join any faction too?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“While I can learn a lot of things if I join a faction, as well as get some support, all the treasures you get will belong to them if you join them. You can only retain about 30% of the spoils. That was why I refused to join any faction!”
…
Afterward, Sus chatted with him for a long time. He was mostly talking about how hard it was for a newbie to survive in the Xingyue Area.
He even had a tear in his eyes, like he was about to cry.
Ever since Sus arrived last month, he was not able to leave the city.
Just like Jiang Feng, he had offended a Heaven Realm elite. He could not leave.
He was like a straggler. He was not a part of any faction, he had no powerful background, and he was not part of any team.
There was once when a Secret Map was opened up, he managed to sneak in. In the end, all he could do was find a corner to hide until the Secret Map closed up. He was only able to harvest some low-level herbal medicine.
That was why he wanted to build his own team as other Heaven Realm elites did not care about him. Not to mention that he could not provide anything to the team, so no one wanted to take him in.
Therefore, he laid his eyes on Jiang Feng.
Once he knew why Sus was looking for him, he then asked him with a smile, “I was thinking the same thing. Who’s going to be the team leader then?”
