CHAPTER 925: CHAPTER 901: XIMEN DONG’S CHALLENGE (1/3)

"Kneel before me and become my little brother, and I’ll spare you!" Ximen Dong said confidently.

"Did a donkey kick your head?" Zhou Heng glared with his eyes; he was ready to beat someone up.

"Zhou Heng, you really piss me off!" Ximen Dong continued on his own, "Originally, when I entered the Star King Court, I should have been the most high-profile person in the entire academy, but you broke so many records and stole all the attention that was supposed to be mine!"

This guy is so narcissistic!

"You’re really sick, get lost now, or I won’t mind giving you a beating!" Zhou Heng said coldly.

Private fights are strictly forbidden in the academy, but if someone intrudes on your residence, the academy allows the owner to retaliate. Although the opponent hadn’t entered yet, Zhou Heng was confident he could lure this guy in.

"Your strength is indeed great, and your speed is fast, but all of that doesn’t equate to battle power!" Ximen Dong stared at Zhou Heng, "I’m the number one expert in the Star King Court; you don’t qualify to compare with me!"

Damn, this person really has a problem, coming to someone else’s door just to boast about being stronger, clearly suffers from a mental issue.

Zhou Heng sighed and said, "You’re sick, hurry home and take your medicine!"

"Hahaha, you’ve got guts to speak to me like that!" Ximen Dong grinned, revealing two sharp teeth like animal fangs, protruding much more than the other teeth.

Zhou Heng crossed his arms and laughed, "And what exactly are you supposed to be?"

Ximen Dong was also a weirdo; Zhou Heng’s words didn’t anger him. He merely showed a disdainful smile and said, "Haven’t you heard of me, ’Monster’ Ximen Dong?"

"Nope!" Zhou Heng seriously thought about it and shook his head.

"How could you not have heard of my name!" At this point, Ximen Dong was furious, seemingly about to spit fire from his eyes, "I used to be the number one expert in the Bright Immortal Courtyard!"

"Really, well congratulations!" Zhou Heng roughly understood the man in front of him, he craved fame; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to confront Zhou Heng simply because his limelight was snatched.

"I had ninety-one Divine Aspects in the Bright Immortal, and after breaking through, I rose directly to ninety-two Stars, just one step away from a Star Sovereign!" Ximen Dong thumbed towards his chest, incredibly proud, "So, I’m now the undisputed number one expert in the Star King Court, and you must submit to me!"

This guy’s logic is strong; has he trained himself into stupidity otherwise, how could he utter such absurd words?

While the two conversed at the door, the nearby doors also opened, all residing Star Kings, some old, some young, each exuding a powerful aura.

They naturally heard the argument between Zhou Heng and Ximen Dong, so they opened the doors to see what was going on.

Zhou Heng didn’t want to be laughed at by others, so he said, "Enough fooling around, get lost, I don’t have that much time to waste!"

"In three days, a battle at the Sand Fury Arena, dare you?" Ximen Dong flamboyantly made various expressions towards the surrounding crowd, the more people there were, the more he wanted to perform, wishing the whole world was watching him.

"I told you, I don’t have time, are you dumb?" Zhou Heng said exasperatedly.

But Ximen Dong wasn’t really dumb; he knew that if he fought Zhou Heng in his residence, regardless of victory or loss, he’d definitely end up in trouble. More importantly, there were too few people here; even if he defeated Zhou Heng, he wouldn’t enjoy the thrill of universal acclaim!

"Hehe, don’t say I’m bullying you; if you can withstand a hundred moves from me, I’ll give you this piece of Immortal Tear Fine Gold!" Ximen Dong, seeing Zhou Heng unwilling to agree, immediately took out a piece of metal, about the size of a fist, a green hue resembling a teardrop.

"What, Immortal Tear Fine Gold!"

"This is a Star Emperor level material; embedding it in a weapon can greatly enhance its sharpness and durability!"

"How could this kid get such a precious material?"

"Hey, you don’t know, do you! This kid’s brother is the number one expert among the students of our Dayuan Academy, Star Emperor Ximen Shan! It’s said he could have gone to the Great River Academy long ago, but our academy paid a huge price to keep him, so he could continue to represent our academy in the academy competitions!"

"What, Ximen Shan is this guy’s brother!"

"No wonder this guy is so arrogant!"

The crowd couldn’t help but talk among themselves, their faces brimming with undisguisable envy, both for the Immortal Tear Fine Gold and for Ximen Dong having a brother like Ximen Shan, as it’s certain this piece of Immortal Tear Fine Gold was a gift from Ximen Shan.

Zhou Heng looked at the strange metal resembling a teardrop and couldn’t help but smile, saying, "Alright, it’s settled then, we’ll fight in three days!"

"Hahaha, then just wait to kneel before me and become my little brother!" Ximen Dong laughed thrice, swaggering away.

Since the opponent was so intent on giving him gifts, how could Zhou Heng modestly refuse? However, the guy knew that Zhou Heng had broken all Star King’s records, yet he dared to challenge him publicly, and even offered a piece of Immortal Tear Fine Gold as a prize, he must have some confidence.

But what could bridge the gap between a Star King and a Star Sovereign?

No, no, no, the other party only knows that he has broken all the records of the Star King, but he has not truly unleashed his full strength, so the other party will only regard him as an extremely strong Star King.

But being able to break records that have been sealed for so long in the academy, everyone should know Zhou Heng is incredibly strong, so why does Ximen Dong think he can win for sure?

Forbidden Artifact?

Unlikely, because even if he wins using a Forbidden Artifact, what’s the point of face? Who would recognize a person who uses a Forbidden Artifact as an expert? The use of a Forbidden Artifact requires not a bit of demand from oneself, theoretically even mortals can wield it to defeat experts of the Milky Way Realm, even Comet Realm!

But that’s the victory of the Forbidden Artifact, not the strength of the user!

Besides using a Forbidden Artifact, what else is there?

Does Ximen Dong also possess an incredibly strong battle power?

The other party previously said something like strength doesn’t mean battle power is strong, does it imply he has mastered some Cultivation Technique that allows him to unleash sufficiently powerful battle power?

If that’s the case, then Ximen Dong is certainly going to be disappointed because even in comparing Cultivation Techniques, he has mastered at least a Forty Stars sword art! Moreover, Zhou Heng’s aura is sufficient to overpower any martial artist of the same realm, even Martial Kings are affected!

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, one can fight a hundred battles without defeat. Probably, Ximen Dong is evaluating his battle power based on Zhou Heng’s record-breaking values, but how can he know that’s the result of Zhou Heng greatly suppressing his own strength!

From Ximen Dong’s perspective, since this is such an honorable record-breaking event, he would definitely go all out, who would hold back?

If you think about it this way, Ximen Dong’s challenge seems reasonable, but it also shows his battle power is really strong.

But speaking of it, even Little Fire might be able to take down this guy. Being a naturally born Divine Beast, his physical strength alone is enough to make ninety-nine percent of Star Kings automatically retreat, naturally standing invincible. With just a spray of flame, how many Star Kings can withstand it?

"Uncle——" Zhou Heng hadn’t retreated into the courtyard yet when he heard a tender, childish voice, knowing without looking that it was Jiang Zishuang.

He raised his head, and sure enough, a small figure was darting out. Zhou Heng had just made the motion to catch her when he saw this little girl stop abruptly in front of him, picking up Little Fire.

Darn, misunderstood the situation!

"Uncle, you really don’t know how to raise a puppy, look at how skinny you’ve made Fire, better give him to Tiantian, let Tiantian help you raise him!" This little girl started her persuasive talk again, lifting her little face giving Zhou Heng an innocent-looking smile.

"Little girl, why are you running out again, not studying the Array Pattern?" If Little Fire were to be replaced by the Black Donkey, then just promise some benefits and he would surely defect, but Zhou Heng doesn’t worry about Little Fire being as easily bought as the Black Donkey!

"Shh, keep it down, mom went to a matchmaking, that’s why Tiantian can sneak out!" The little girl hugged the unwilling Little Fire, suddenly grinning widely, she spoke without looking at Zhou Heng.

"Matchmaking?" Zhou Heng’s face involuntarily became odd, Yang Yuhua, the girl’s mother, is an outstanding beauty, even though she is still dragging a kid, her identity stands there. She is a rare Array Pattern Master, and her father is the director of the Heavenly Array Institute and deputy director of Dayuan Academy; she shouldn’t lack suitors, right?

"Yes, yes, Uncle, now you regret it, right? Tiantian has been telling you to seize the opportunity!" Jiang Zishuang said childishly.

"Who’s she matchmaking with?" Zhou Heng suddenly became gossip-minded.

"Some guy named Ximen Shan or something, but Tiantian doesn’t like him, Uncle still looks more pleasing!" The little girl gave Zhou Heng a big compliment.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but laugh heartily, but upon thinking, he said, "Is it Ximen Shan?"

"Huh, Uncle, how come you know?" Jiang Zishuang raised her head, her small face full of a look of realization, "So Uncle, you’ve secretly been in love with mom, and quietly found out everything!"

"Actually, mom doesn’t like him either!" The little girl continued, "But grandpa really likes that big fool and says he... has some rare, noble bloodline and will surely become influential in the future!"

Surely become influential?

"Surely become a dragon among people, right!" Zhou Heng sighed.

"It can be said that way too!"

"That’s quite different!"

"Oh Uncle, why are you quibbling with a child, such petty behavior!"

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, but it was again about Ximen, the younger brother came to challenge him, the elder brother is pursuing Yang Yuhua... But how does it concern him, if provoked, just smash it to pieces, why bother about anything else?

Affairs of the heart are what he least wants to get involved with now, beauties can be admired from a distance, he has no desire to get entangled. However, the Purple Jade Dagger given to him by Yang Yuhua saved him once, that’s a personal favor, if she requests anything, he will surely help with all his might.

"Uncle, let’s go shopping!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
