Chapter 15: The Challenge

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That night.

As expected, the Flying Eagle Sect sent a letter of invitation to challenge.

Sun Chengshan had already said during the day that this challenge was inevitable.

Compared to He Xuyang, Gu Hongming the master of the Flying Eagle Sect was more experienced and it was said that he was stronger.

Compared to Sun Chengshan, even his own disciples could not determine who was stronger.

It’s hard to say until they fight.

The next day.

The few temporary disciples swept the interior and exterior of the dojo very seriously.

Other than a few disciples who had gone out to carry out missions and had yet to return, the rest of the disciples were gathered in the courtyard. They practiced their fists while waiting for the important event to come.

Outside the dojo, some of the neighbors who had heard the news had also woken up early to join in the fun.

Wang Yu was also practicing his fists in the outer courtyard. His expression was calm, unlike the other disciples.

Just as the sun rose, Zhang Erdan who was outside watching for the opponents rushed in anxiously.

“Master! They’re here!”

All the disciples immediately stopped practicing and Sun Chengshan walked out of the inner room.

“Why are you panicking!”

Sun Chengshan waved angrily to ask Zhang Erdan to go away.

On the other side, Gu Hongming had already strode in.

Wang Yu noticed that he had only brought a few core disciples from his dojo.

No one from Wind’s Aid Hall came.

“I’m Gu Hongming from the Flying Eagle Fist. I’m here to visit as promised!” Gu Hongming said loudly with a faint smile on his face.

“There’s no time to lose. Let’s begin.” Sun Chengshan narrowed his eyes and walked to the courtyard.

His back was straight, and his posture relaxed. His aura was already building up.

However, Gu Hongming had his hands behind his back. He was relaxed and did not seem to be in a hurry at all.

“In the past, your pavilion was established in the island town quietly. Now that three years have passed, Shadowless Fist has caused quite a stir in this place with Master Sun’s mightiness. t has really broadened my horizons.”

Gu Hongming spoke indifferently, making Sun Chengshan even more impatient.

“Can we finish the fight first before you begin the small talk!” Sun Chengshan said stiffly.

Gu Hongming chuckled and said, “It seems that Master Sun is really busy every day. Or perhaps I offended you yesterday. In that case, I would like to apologize first. I was indeed inconsiderate yesterday.”

“Hmph, I think Master Gu’s extravagance today cannot be compared to yesterday. Where’s your good disciple and the people from Wind’s Aid Hall? Why didn’t they join in the fun today?” Sun Chengshan snorted coldly and ignored Gu Hongming’s fake apology.

“Yucheng is injured and is recuperating in his room. I don’t know about Wind’s Aid Hall. Perhaps they’re busy with something.”

After all, I’m the one who came to challenge them this time. What does it matter if they come or not?”

Gu Hongming explained calmly.

When Sun Chengshan heard this, he was silent for a moment before suddenly sighing.

“We’re both dojo masters. We’ve minded our own business for the past three years. Why do you treat me like a fool?”

Gu Hongming was stunned when he heard this. He didn’t expect Sun Chengshan to say this, and his emotions fluctuated.

“When have I ever taken you for a fool?”

Sun Chengshan felt that it was about time. He was suddenly no longer in a hurry. He retracted his aura and extended his hand in invitation. “I see that Master Gu came in a hurry early in the morning. Why don’t you go in and have breakfast first? We can take our time.”

This move made Gu Hongming feel clueless. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he stood rooted to the ground.

Seeing this, Sun Chengshan pretended to be “enlightened” and said, “Or do you want to see how much my ore warehouse is worth first?”

This time, Gu Hongming’s expression began to turn upset.

“I haven’t calculated how much it’s worth in detail, but I’ve hired someone to count it. Today, I’m going to sell all these ores to the guards.”

This purple coal mine was a good source of thermal energy. There was a huge gap on the garrison side. They gave me a good price list and very understandingly sent many people to help move the goods.

Sigh, I wonder if some fool will go over to my place to cause trouble today.”

As Sun Chengshan spoke, Gu Hongming was already extremely upset.

“You knew!” he said through gritted teeth.

“Knew what?” Sung Sun smiled as he sipped the tea Song Hezheng offered.

“Alright, enough chit-chatting. Master Gu, can we get down to business now?”

Gu Hongming had no intention of challenging him. He turned around and wanted to leave.

However, Sun Chengshan suddenly moved and leaned forward.

“There’s no reason to leave halfway through this challenge. Master Gu, you should stay.”

Bang!

Sun Chengshan came aggressively. Gu Hongming had no choice but to growl and punch out.

The two dojo masters instantly fought in the courtyard. The door of the dojo was also closed by Iron He and the other core disciples, blocking the rest of the disciples from Flying Eagle Sect.

“You, what are you doing!” A Flying Eagle disciple panicked.

“Master said no one is to go out!” Willow Brows shouted.

There were also some female disciples with good qualifications in the dojo, and Willow Brows was one of them.

She was now considered a core disciple under Sun Chengshan.

Before Wang Yu came, she was the most promising disciple to reach the third level of the fist technique.

The Flying Eagle Sect disciples looked at each other and finally gritted their teeth, wanting to rush out.

However, with Song Hezheng holding the fort, these Flying Eagle Sect disciples were easily dealt with even without Wang Yu’s help.

“So that’s how Flying Eagle Sect is!” Zhang Erdan mocked.

The few people on the ground with swollen faces had no time to care about his provocation. They only hoped that their master could win this challenge and uphold justice for them.

Gu Hongming was indeed powerful. He was also at the fifth level of Body Tempering. The collision between him and Sun Chengshan was especially intense.

The thick bricks on the ground were trampled by the two of them, and some were even cracked during the fight.

The wind from the flying fists whistled, and Wang Yu was entranced.

The strength of his body at the fifth level of Body Tempering was simply inhuman. When their strengths erupted, they were as terrifying as a lion, and their speeds were like ghosts. It was far from what Wang Yu could currently withstand.

Perhaps by the time he threw a punch, Sun Chengshan would have finished three to five punches.

“As expected, I can’t feel at ease if I don’t master the fist technique to perfection.”

With this thought in mind, the situation changed.

Gu Hongming was provoked by Sun Chengshan’s words and had mixed thoughts. It was impossible for him to focus on the battle.

Sun Chengshan’s cultivation level was slightly higher than Gu Hongming’s. Moreover, the fight was at his home ground, so he quickly gained the advantage.

The more Gu Hongming fought, the more flustered he became. Suddenly, he said to Sun Chengshan with a fierce expression, “Let me go, or we’ll fight to the death!”

Sun Chengshan raised his eyebrows as he heard this. After forcing Gu Hongming back with a punch, he took two steps back and patted the dust off his pants. He did not continue to force Gu Hongming.

“Back off, all of you.”

Even the disciples blocking the door made way.

There was a way out in front of Gu Hongming.

He looked at Sun Chengshan suspiciously, as if he didn’t expect him to let him go so easily.

Sun Chengshan spread his hands. “I still have a bright future ahead of me. There’s no need to risk my life with a fool who has reached the end.”

Those were his heartfelt words.

“Hmph!” Gu Hongming’s eyes were cold. He didn’t stay any longer and didn’t care about the few Flying Eagle Sect disciples on the ground. He turned around and rushed out.

At the next moment, the sound of a fierce fight came from the street. At the same time, Gu Hongming roared angrily.

“Zheng Anbang, I’ve always treated you well! How dare you treat me like this!”

It didn’t take long for the fight to die down.

Sun Chengshan narrowed his eyes and slowly walked out of the dojo.

At this moment, the street had already been cordoned off by a team in black uniforms.

The onlookers were driven away.

Gu Hongming, who had run out, fell to the ground. A muscular and tall man in military uniform, wearing long combat boots, stepped on the back of Gu Hongming’s head.

At the same time, he held a long silver saber in his hand and pressed it against Gu Hongming’s back with an indifferent expression.

Gu Hongming looked rather miserable at this moment. There were many wounds all over his body and blood flowed everywhere. The joints in his limbs were shattered, and he could not move. He looked like he was on his last breath.
