Chapter 297: Chapter 297
The crowd's gazes, following Wang Zhao's pointing finger, all converged on Zhao Letian.
Wanyan Zheng, Ao Tian, Yu Wenhui, and others immediately revealed a mocking cold smile.
The people from Dajin Country, the first to challenge was Zhao Letian, indicating that in the eyes of those from Dajin Country, Zhao Letian was the weakest among these geniuses from Gray Wolf Kingdom.
In other words, Zhao Letian was looked down upon, and as his foes, they were very pleased.
As for Baru and others, their reactions were quite calm.
Zhao Letian's cultivation level was indeed the lowest among them, so it was not surprising that people from Dajin Country chose to challenge him first.
At the same time, Chen Feiyu and Dong Chao were also discretely sizing up Zhao Letian, their eyes filled with curiosity.
They didn't understand, how this youth, with merely the True Martial Seventh Realm cultivation level, qualified to stand alongside powerhouses like Baru at the pinnacle of True Martial Ninth Realm - could it be that he had some extraordinary qualities?
"No matter what, his cultivation level remains at the True Martial Seventh Realm, while Wang Zhao has already advanced to the True Martial Eighth Realm. Dealing with him shouldn't pose too much of a problem."
"This battle greatly favors Wang Zhao's chances of winning."
Chen Feiyu and Dong Chao exchanged glances, both harboring the same thought.
"What's the matter? Don't dare to accept the challenge? Hmph, the top geniuses of Gray Wolf Kingdom, is this all the courage you have? If so, then I see no need for you to humiliate yourself at our Dajin Royal Capital; better scramble back to your Gray Wolf Kingdom now."
Seeing Zhao Letian not moving, Wang Zhao immediately sneered coldly, his demeanor extremely arrogant.
"He counts as a top genius of Gray Wolf Kingdom? Merely at the True Martial Seventh Realm, it seems like Gray Wolf Kingdom is running out of people."
"Waste, can't even accept a challenge, truly disgraceful."
The crowd in the Duel Arena, all staring at Zhao Letian, did not hold back their ridicule. Lоvе this stоry? Shоw suppоrt аt МV2LЕМРYR.
Although Zhao Letian and the others were guests in name, the people from Dajin Country had never taken kindly to those from Gray Wolf Kingdom, especially those from War King City, who regarded people from Gray Wolf Kingdom as archenemies and were not about to extend any courtesies to Zhao Letian and the others; not attacking them directly was already their greatest tolerance.
"Did you hear that? You're being called a waste. If you don't accept the challenge now, it's not just your own face you'll be losing. You'll bring shame upon us, even upon the entire Gray Wolf Kingdom because of you."
Wanyan Zheng looked towards Zhao Letian, sneering coldly.
"Whether I lose face is none of your concern, what are you? If you have the ability, why don't you go down yourself, or perhaps, you and I can have a fight there as well."
Zhao Letian couldn't be bothered to even look at Wanyan Zheng, speaking indifferently.
"Hmph, the challenge was issued to you, what does it have to do with me? Why should I fight on your behalf? As for the scores between us, once we enter the Imperial Secret Realm, I will certainly settle them properly with you."
Wanyan Zheng's expression darkened, he said coldly.
Zhao Letian had caused him to lose face multiple times, and he had long since marked Zhao Letian for death, but due to Zhao Letian's status as a Prince Consort candidate, it was inconvenient for him to take action publicly; however, once inside the Imperial Secret Realm, there would be no restrictions, and he would certainly take the first opportunity to slay Zhao Letian and quell the hatred in his heart.
"Since you know it has nothing to do with you, then shut your mouth, or else you might not even have the chance to enter the Imperial Secret Realm."
Zhao Letian spoke coldly.
Wanyan Zheng, too, was on his hit list. He also planned to deal with him after entering the Imperial Secret Realm, but if this person kept courting death, then he couldn't guarantee when he might accidentally kill him.
"This friend, today is just a friendly exchange, if you do not wish to accept the challenge, it's alright, but please make your decision quickly. Our Dajin Country here still has many young talents waiting to challenge you all."
Chen Family's young master, Chen Feiyu, suddenly looked towards Zhao Letian and said with a smile, though the smile was very fake, filled with mockery.
"An exchange? I have no time to spar with you. If it's a fight you want, it shall be a fight to the death, relentless until the end; otherwise, don't waste my time."
Zhao Letian spoke coldly, still closing his eyes to rest, not even glancing at Chen Feiyu.
Upon hearing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
They had thought that the genius from Gray Wolf Kingdom, with the weakest cultivation, was delaying his response because of fear.
But now it seemed, the man was not at all afraid of Wang Zhao, he simply had no interest in a friendly bout; wanting to fight him meant having the courage to risk life and limb, or else there was nothing to talk about.
"What an arrogant guy, I've long heard that the people of the Gray Wolf Kingdom are brave and fierce, wilder than us, now seeing it for myself, he truly lives up to his reputation."
"Madman, this guy is completely insane, straight away betting on life and death, how can he guarantee he'll definitely win? What if he loses to Wang Zhao, wouldn't that mean he'd lose his life too?"
"Perhaps, this is the confidence belonging to the top genius from Gray Wolf Kingdom."
The crowd at the scene discussed among themselves.
Meanwhile, Chen Feiyu and Dong Chao's expressions also turned serious as they gave Zhao Letian another deep look.
Only now did they realize that they might have misjudged earlier. With such strong confidence, this least powerful genius from Gray Wolf Kingdom should not be underestimated.
"Well said, if it's a battle, then let it be a duel to the death. That has always been the rule here at the Duel Arena. Stepping onto the stage means no stop until death. However, since you lot have come from afar as honored guests, I originally thought that a simple exchange between the two sides would suffice. But since this friend has made a special request, then let it be a duel to the death. Wang Zhao, do you dare to continue the challenge?"
Chen Feiyu suddenly spoke with a smile, his gaze shifting to Wang Zhao who had already stepped onto the arena.
Wang Zhao's brows were tightly furrowed, his face showing difficulty.
He had thought that Zhao Letian, with only the True Martial Seventh Realm cultivation, was the weakest pushover among this batch of talents from Gray Wolf Kingdom, someone he could easily squash.
But now it seemed this guy was not ordinarily confident, boldly demanding a fight to the death with him as if he had the certainty of victory.
In light of this, Wang Zhao's confidence waned. A defeat would be shameful enough, but losing his life would be a disaster.
Yet he had just been arrogantly mocking Zhao Letian, and now if he showed cowardice and backed down, he would lose all face and even shake his Martial Arts Heart, severely affecting his future cultivation.
"Hmph, he's just someone of the True Martial Seventh Realm, I don't believe he can be that strong, a life-and-death match, so what."
After a quick shift in thoughts, a fierce light flashed in Wang Zhao's eyes, and he finally firmed up his resolve, speaking out loud.
They were both geniuses, and he had his own pride. In the entire War King City, there were not many of his peers who could make him bow, let alone this youth from Gray Wolf Kingdom.
If he did not even have the courage to battle Zhao Letian, there was no point in continuing his martial arts path, as he would never rise to prominence.
As soon as Wang Zhao finished speaking, Zhao Letian's figure flickered, and in an instant, he rushed onto the arena stage.
