"Why am I feeling a bit excited?"
"That’s normal. This is a grandmaster battle... Such a sight is rare in the Martial Arts Circle."
Chattering filled the air as Chen Feng followed Du Mengqi through corridors and halls to a certain place.
A vast square all white like jade, covering nearly a thousand square meters,
Located halfway up the mountain, with a cliff at its back, completely flat.
Looking up, one can see a sea of clouds in the mountains, with a blazing sun hanging high in the sky, casting golden light down.
Looking around, one can see corridors surrounding the area, with multi-storied pavilions, and gray stone pillars carved with giant statue patterns, lined up along the edge.
"This is the Giant Elephant Sect’s training ground, usually not open to the public."
"It’s only because my cousin made an exception that we could come here."
In a corner, a young man with the surname Zhang was proudly showing off to the people in his tour group.
It wasn’t an exaggeration, as Chen Feng looked around and saw the passageways on both sides crowded with figures.
There were middle-aged and elderly men with wooden hairpins, wearing ancient-style long robes.
There were also short-haired, buzz-cut youths in casual sportswear.
Or, there were businessmen and politicians in neat suits, carrying a sense of authority.
Besides, on looking up.
People of the Martial Arts World were also standing on the rubble of the passageways on both sides, and moreover, some drones were adjusting camera angles in the air.
"Mr. Chen, this is our spot."
"Make sure not to wander around later."
Du Mengqi reminded softly. Chen Feng nodded and stood at the back row of the passageway, close to the back stone wall of the temple.
The people in the front row were mostly tall, blocking much of the view.
Even so, the seven or eight young men and women in the travel group next to him were still very excited.
"It looks so grand, is this the circle of the Martial Arts World?"
"How come everyone here seems so strong, just one glance and I dare not speak loudly."
"Wow, look over there, isn’t that Councilman Xu from Yue City United Council? I’ve seen him on TV before, he’s actually here?"
"Not just him, look over there, the chairman of Hengtong Group is also here!"
Their excited chatter caught the attention of several martial masters around.
Some shook their heads and frowned, some were indifferent.
Chen Feng remained silent the whole time, glancing in the direction the group was discussing.
Perception Amplification, it was a spacious area near the main entrance of the temple.
The martial arts training ground had several steps leading up to it, with rows of pear wood chairs neatly arranged.
Those seated were all True Intent Masters, as well as notable businessmen or council representatives from Yue City or even Ze Province.
There were Mechanical Warriors and Silver Steel Grade Transformed People guarding both sides, including disciples of the Giant Elephant Sect standing behind with arms hanging down.
Chen Feng spotted Zhang Tai and even saw Pang Kui in his vigor-wear long robe.
A bit surprised, he noticed that many people from the Whale Body Covering Sea School were also present.
Among them, two men, one middle-aged and one older, were surrounded in the central position.
One was dressed in vigor-wear long robe, exceptionally burly, bald-headed, appearing to be in his early forties, sitting there like a towering mountain.
Another in a white robe, his hair and eyebrows gray, seemingly around fifty or sixty years old.
His physique slightly slender, similar to an ordinary elderly person.
Seeming to notice something, the older man glanced over.
But soon, not finding anything, he shook his head and couldn’t help but speak in admiration.
"Giant Elephant Master, your Yue City truly breeds capable individuals."
The bald strong man looked puzzled for a moment, then exchanged a few words before scanning the surroundings.
"Heh, there are many schools present today, each with its unique True Skill."
Unconcerned, he instead said, "Speaking of which, I must thank Whale Flow Master for personally coming here to support our Giant Elephant Sect."
"Otherwise today, we might struggle to withstand the Flying Dragon force."
The white-robed elder shook his head, his tone serious, "No need for formalities."
"Flying Dragon Style is too domineering, and we are merely banding together for warmth."
The two exchanged a few words leisurely, the bald strong man then curiously changed the topic.
"Flying Eagle Master is a veteran grandmaster, yet he was severely injured by Lu Xinglong in a few dozen moves."
"Could it be, he has reached the Absolute Peak?"
The white-robed elder gently shook his head, his tone melancholic, "Absolute Peak is the extreme realm of a grandmaster, breaking through is tremendously difficult."
"Looking across the entire Chi Country, only a few have stepped into this realm... Although Lu Xinglong is a late bloomer, he is still far from reaching that realm."
Hearing this, the bald strong man felt somewhat relieved.
It’s not the Absolute Peak, then there’s a fight to be had.
The two fell silent, gradually beginning to gather strength and wait.
The True Intent holders and local council members behind them all had serious expressions, and some Silver Steel Grade Transformed People were also guarding around with different expressions.
"Brother, we should be able to win, right?"
Zhang Tai stood in the True Inheritor spot in the back row, his expression somewhat apprehensive and tense.
Zheng Shan was somewhat unsure, as the defeat of the Flying Eagle Stream was too shocking.
If it weren’t for the support from the Whale Body Covering Sea School, the outcome would already be determined.
"My great-grandmaster rarely comes out and cannot possibly lose."
The fully recovered Pang Kui stood next to the two and shook his head, still confident and spirited.
Zhang Tai and Zheng Shan exchanged glances, both somewhat envious of each other’s positive mentality.
"See that? That’s my cousin."
In the crowded passageway, several people from the tour group were still excitedly discussing.
The young Zhang pointed to a massive, tall young man standing on alert across the passageway, maintaining order.
