Chapter 171: Nangong Wuxin
"You are seeking death!" Silver Peng Young Master roared in anger. Throughout his life, he had never encountered anyone who dared to speak to him like that. With a furious strike, his silver hair flew wildly, leaving a glimmer of silver light in the air as he attacked the boy who had spoken.
No one at the scene knew the boy's name except Zhao Yang, and no one believed that this boy could be a match for Silver Peng Young Master. After all, Silver Peng Young Master was already at the late stage of Realm Pill at just eighteen years old. His obsession with cultivation had caused True Qi to swirl around him for a long time, and the prolonged sleepless nights had turned his black hair into silver strands. It was precisely because of this that he had reached the late stage of Core Formation at such a young age, and in just two more years, he would become a master at the Divine Transformation Stage.
Reaching the Divine Transformation Stage before twenty made him one of the top young geniuses in Zhongzhou. No one thought that this nameless boy who had suddenly appeared could possibly be Silver Peng Young Master's opponent.
However, this boy's name was Nangong Wuxin.
Nangong Wuxin was a true Heavenly Genius. His cultivation level was unmatched even by Zhao Yang and Shiyunsheng, who had built their foundations at ten years old. He had remained obscure for a long time; even during his time at Myriad Spirit Sect, he did not stand out because he was an elder and everyone's Shixiong. Thus, when discussions arose about who the real genius was, people inadvertently avoided mentioning him.
Yet this mischievous boy with an eccentric appearance was already at the Divine Transformation Stage at such a young age.
Nangong Wuxin held a grudge against Golden Peng Young Master, so naturally, he felt displeased whenever he saw Divine Peng Young Master and Silver Peng Young Master. After the destruction of Myriad Spirit Sect, he had been downcast for some time. While he was there, his adoptive father, Demon Hunter Supreme, elevated his status to that of an elder. He had been practicing the peculiar and obscure Demon Hunting Soul Pursuit Technique since childhood, living a life akin to being cherished like a treasure by everyone around him.
At Myriad Spirit Sect, the only person who dared to show him a stern face was Duan Wude. However, he never considered killing Duan Wude; his temperament remained childlike, which made him seem quirky and mischievous. He even played pranks on elders because ordinary disciples would never dare to associate with him.
In terms of cultivation speed, no one could compare to Nangong Wuxin. He maintained a very regular lifestyle with early bedtimes and early rises while controlling his diet—habits instilled in him by Demon Hunter Supreme since childhood.
The first time he encountered the outside world was during the recruitment of disciples in Yuwang City. Standing atop a giant sword, he looked down at the crowd below as they bowed and knelt in reverence. Curious about the world outside, he was eager to learn and filled with a thirst for knowledge.
In his youth, he developed a crush on Yu Qingsnow, the goddess in everyone's eyes at Myriad Spirit Sect. He felt troubled and restless until he met Zhao Yang, who led him astray from his previously pure nature. To bribe him, Zhao Yang gifted him an illustrated book on intimate relations between men and women.
From that moment on, Nangong Wuxin discovered that there were so many wonderful things in the world; this book opened up a new realm for him! However, his daily habits remained unchanged—he continued to wake up early and go to bed early, practicing regularly and planning everything meticulously. He never stayed up all night cultivating or meditating. Thus, for some unknown reason, his cultivation speed remained as rapid as when he first began; he had never encountered what others referred to as bottlenecks—not even during foundation building when everyone else faced such challenges—and he hadn't even taken any Foundation Pills given by elders.
He consumed the Foundation Pill after completing his foundation, solely to increase his internal Spirit Energy. Later, he had one remaining Foundation Pill, which he gifted to a disciple who had assisted him.
Yet, he remained obscure; even the disciples within the sect were largely unaware of his existence. Thus, Zhao Yang spent two years inquiring about him at the Myriad Spirit Sect without any success.
When Zhao Yang finally met him, they shared an unspoken understanding and felt as if they had known each other for ages. The usually mischievous individual confronted the Second Elder Duan Wude at the Offering Camp, reprimanding some of the talented members of the sect. Although he never displayed his Combat Power and few spoke of his uniqueness, he always managed to be overlooked by others.
However, all the talents appeared dim in his presence.
At that moment, Silver Peng Young Master was no exception.
Silver Peng Young Master dashed forward, leaving behind a shadow as he struck with a fierce intent to eliminate the boy who dared to embarrass him in front of everyone. This boy seemed quirky and youthful, with a baby face that made him appear younger and not particularly imposing in stature.
Yet, a smile perpetually graced his face, reminiscent of the sun rising on a spring day, casting warm and harmonious rays upon him.
Some people felt a tightening in their hearts; they did not wish for this boy to be harmed.
Psychological studies suggest that most individuals instinctively feel a sense of affection and protective instinct when they see someone with a baby face. This easily overlooked boy possessed such features, stirring the hearts of many who wished to see him safe.
However, the one attacking was Silver Peng Young Master, one of the Royal Third Princes. No one dared to intervene; doing so would mean declaring themselves enemies of the Royal Third Prince. Opposing him was tantamount to opposing the royal family, and no one could bear the wrath of royalty.
Yet this boy was of similar age to Silver Peng Young Master. If he had the ability to defeat Silver Peng Young Master, it could be seen as a normal sparring match.
Many people, especially those with maternal instincts, closed their eyes.
A gasp echoed through the crowd, followed by a wave of murmurs.
The Silver Peng Young Master lay sprawled on the ground, a young boy gripping a handful of his long silver hair. The boy stepped on the Silver Peng Young Master's face and then forcefully pushed down, pressing his head into the floor.
"I really need to go to the bathroom," the boy explained as he stepped over the Silver Peng Young Master's face, placing his foot on his chest as he attempted to make his way to the restroom downstairs.
However, a figure blocked his path—it was the Divine Peng Young Master, the leader of the Royal Third Prince's entourage.
The Divine Peng Young Master wore a calm expression, his handsome face flawless. His skin was smoother than that of any woman, and though he wasn't particularly tall, he exuded a unique masculine beauty. Any man who appreciated beauty would surely be captivated by him.
"Do you think you can just leave after beating my younger brother? What do you take this place for?" the Divine Peng Young Master confronted Nangong Wuxin, while several Managers surrounded him. Downstairs, more High Priests were arriving.
The Divine Peng Young Master was in charge of Sky One Tower, one of the royal properties. Such an incident involving the head of Sky One Tower would inevitably attract the attention of the royal High Priests.
The clash between the Divine Peng Young Master and Nangong Wuxin sent shockwaves through the air, causing tremors that knocked over several low-ranking disciples. Even some Nascent Soul Stage veterans couldn't help but furrow their brows.
"The purity of this True Qi is comparable to that of a False Nascent Stage cultivator! How could someone cultivate to such a level?" one Nascent Soul Stage veteran remarked with a strange expression, finding it hard to believe. "Although there are three Royal Third Princes, the other two are merely nominal; only the Divine Peng Young Master can be considered a genius. He is the only one invited to Genius Academy, while the other two did not receive such an invitation, which is why he hasn't entered Genius Academy."
Everyone knew that the Divine Peng Young Master was a cultivation prodigy, surpassing many who had grown strong merely by consuming pills.
The two exchanged powerful strikes and retreated five steps each, both displaying surprise in their eyes. They were both at the Divine Transformation Stage with exceptionally pure magical power, and they were evenly matched!
