Now standing on different grounds, and with the other party assuming such an attitude, he naturally wouldn’t hold onto the past forever.
Turning to signal, Chen Feng took the lead in walking.
Although he had broken through to Grandmaster status, he was still somewhat perplexed about the road ahead, and there were indeed things he needed to learn from these top schools.
"Good, truly worthy of being the Flame Tiger Master, with a heart as vast as the ocean."
The Whale Flow Master in white robes complimented with a smile, without any coyness, and immediately led his followers.
The Giant Elephant Master also nodded and entered, and the group quickly arrived in the reception hall they had visited last time.
Pearwood chairs were lined up on both sides, and Chen Feng naturally took the head seat at the upper end, with his back against the hall’s wooden wall.
"The two of you, please speak frankly."
The Whale Flow Master nodded, then exchanged a glance with the Giant Elephant Master.
They nodded to each other, and then he started, "I wonder if the Flame Tiger Master has received the war challenge from the Flying Dragon Style?"
Chen Feng was puzzled.
"That seems to indicate we’ve arrived just in time."
The Whale Flow Master sighed in relief, and then elaborated, "I have received news that Lu Xinglong’s injury has healed, and having broken through and rebuilt himself, it’s highly likely he has broken through the Divine Soul."
"Moreover, it is said that he has issued a war challenge, wishing to come to Nanjiang in seven days to challenge you."
As his words fell, the atmosphere grew still.
A cold light flashed in the Third Elder’s eyes, and the likes of Cao Tong and Zhao Tingxiao also had varying expressions.
Even though they had known such a battle was inevitable, now that they were truly informed, they couldn’t help but feel some worry.
Their senior brother was indeed strong, but the Flame Tiger Sect was the one lagging behind.
In contrast, the Flying Dragon Style not only had more than one Grandmaster but was also supported by Mechanical Martial arts.
If a real challenge ensued...
Chen Feng’s tone was calm, suppressing the turmoil in his heart and signaling the Whale Flow Master to speak frankly.
"Alright, I will speak plainly."
"You, Flame Tiger Master, have an exceptional Talent, and you’ve easily broken through the Grandmaster barrier, and in the future, you may even progress further, with hope for the Extreme Realm."
"But after all, Lu Xinglong has a profound foundation, and there is a great possibility that he has overcome the barriers of two realms."
After pondering for a moment, the Whale Flow Master did not waste any more words and stated his intention directly, "I personally suggest that you tolerate the anger for the moment, gather strength, and wait for the right time."
"At that time, if our three schools form an alliance, even the Flying Dragon Style will be unable to do anything about it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng smiled.
"Do you mean for me to reject his challenge?"
"Exactly," nodded the Whale Flow Master.
"And what about you?" Chen Feng turned to look at the bald and burly man.
"I also think so, Brother Chen might as well tolerate this for the time being."
Although the Giant Elephant Master was straightforward, he still nodded and urged, "Your Talent is truly rare, given more time, you will definitely surpass Lu Xinglong, and you need not concern yourself with temporary honor or disgrace."
Both were in a reassuring tone, the Third Elder and the others did not speak, just waiting for Chen Feng to speak.
Therefore, the atmosphere fell silent, Chen Feng’s gaze calm and profound.
He knew that his rapid progress had already posed a threat to the Flying Dragon Style.
Therefore, they would definitely do whatever it takes.
"Even if I don’t accept the challenge, would Lu Xinglong not make a move?"
He countered with a question, scanning the crowd.
The Whale Flow Master opened his mouth.
Chen Feng didn’t give him attention, his gaze serene and finally turned towards the hall entrance.
The Mountain Gate signboard emerged in his Perception, with the five big characters of the Heavenly Flame Red Tiger Style coming to mind.
"It has been thirty years since my Flame Tiger Sect has remained silent for too long."
Settling his thoughts, he sat confidently in his original position.
"I accept this fight."
"Seven days from now, by the Huai River."
"To determine victory and defeat, as well as life and death."
