Boom!
Xing Chen's finger collided with the fist of the Yang Spirit Realm expert, producing a violent roar. The other two were also struck by Xing Chen, and all three of them shuddered simultaneously, staggering backward. The Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm expert even spat out blood and was sent flying.
"Eliminate them!" Seeing that the three experts from the Song Family had been injured, Zhao Yu could no longer hold back and attacked the Song Family members.
Xing Chen paused for a moment. He initially intended to continue attacking and completely eradicate the Song Family members, but now that Zhao Yu and his group had intervened, he saved a lot of effort.
"Brother, thank you for your help this time. If it weren't for you, it would have been quite difficult for us to defeat these Song Family members," Zhao Yu said with a smile as he stepped forward to look at Xing Chen.
"Don't you want to know my background and purpose?" Xing Chen sneered. When he first appeared, Zhao Yu was far from this polite; in fact, he was quite rude.
However, Zhao Yu quickly changed his attitude upon realizing Xing Chen's strength and potential.
"Hehe, if you'd like to share, that would be wonderful. If not, I won't press you," Zhao Yu said with a smile, showing no embarrassment.
"I don't mind telling you. I come from Snow Wind Island. I've reached a certain level in my cultivation and came out to experience the world in hopes of breaking through my realm," Xing Chen said calmly. Snow Wind Island is located not far from Nebula Island.
Although the two islands are close together, Snow Wind Island is much stronger than Nebula Island because it has experts from Gaze of Fate.
"So you're a friend from Snow Wind Island!" Zhao Yu's face showed a hint of joy. The strength of Snow Wind Island far surpasses that of their Nebula Island.
If their Zhao Family could also develop in Snow Wind Island, then within a few years, their family could definitely replace Nebula Gate and become the true rulers of Nebula Island.
"That's right," Xing Chen nodded, putting on an aloof demeanor. In Song Gaodan's memory, people from Snow Wind Island were always arrogant and overbearing.
"In that case, thank you for your assistance. The Song Family has always been at odds with our Zhao Family; it's time to teach them a lesson," Zhao Yu said, glancing at the remaining Song Family members who were still resisting. A gleam of glee appeared in his eyes; after all, he believed that offending someone from Snow Wind Island would not end well for the Song Family.
"They are just looking for death themselves." Xing Chen said calmly. Since he had to pretend to be a member of Snow Wind Island, Xing Chen naturally put on a proud and indifferent demeanor, so when he said this, his voice was filled with disdain.
"Hehe, that's natural. This Song Gaodan really doesn't know the times." Zhao Yu smiled and nodded repeatedly, "May I ask how to address you, brother?"
"Xing Chen." After thinking for a moment, Xing Chen decided to reveal his real name; after all, no one here knew him, and it wouldn't matter even if he did.
"Hehe, so it's Brother Xing Chen. You have helped our Zhao Family with such a big favor this time; we must show our gratitude. Why not come back to the Zhao Family with me? I will make sure the family head thanks you properly." Zhao Yu said with a smile.
"No need, I have things to do and can't stay here for long." Xing Chen replied calmly and was about to turn to leave.
"Brother, please wait. To be honest, I actually have something I need your help with." Zhao Yu hesitated before speaking.
Xing Chen paused slightly, feeling some interest. He also wanted to see what this so-called Zhao Family was like.
"Helping me will require some cost; I can't just help you for nothing," Xing Chen turned back and glanced at Zhao Yu.
"It's like this: the four major forces on Nebula Island are about to re-divide their rankings, which relates to the resources we can obtain in the future. So, I would like to ask you to help participate in a competition..." Zhao Yu began to explain slowly, and Xing Chen gradually understood what Zhao Yu wanted him to do.
The four major forces on Nebula Island hold a grand competition every five years, where the participants are the young elites from each force. The requirement is that their strength must reach Soul Realm, not lower than Yang Spirit Realm.
The Zhao Family, where Zhao Yu belongs, ranked last in the previous competition. Because of this, they fought fiercely with the Song Family over an Elemental Stone Vein.
Moreover, the most important point is that among the young elites of the other Three Major Forces this time, there are talents who have reached Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm. Although these individuals are at Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm in cultivation, their actual combat power can rival those at Yang Spirit Second Layer Peak and even defeat them.
The Zhao Family is in a more tragic situation; although they also have young talents who have reached Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, their actual combat power is far inferior to those from the other Three Major Forces. The talent from the Zhao Family who reached Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm can barely contend with a Yang Po Er Chong level expert and often loses more than wins.
If they encounter a Yang Spirit Second Layer Peak expert, it would be almost certain death.
"Helping is no problem, but what benefits can I get?" Xing Chen pondered for a moment before speaking; he would never do anything without benefits.
"That depends on your performance, brother. Anyone who makes it into the top three in the competition will receive rewards," Zhao Yu smiled and said. "The reward for first place is a top-tier Earth-Level Divine Weapon and a Tier Martial Arts technique. The second place reward is an Earth Grade Divine Weapon and an Earth-Level Top Martial Arts technique, while the third place will receive an Earth-Level Martial Arts technique."
"Are you saying that if I can make it into the top three of this competition, everything I earn will belong to me?" Xing Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"That's right. If you can truly make it into the top three, our Zhao Family will not take a single cent from the rewards," Zhao Yu replied.
"You want to take advantage of me! Besides, can you really make that decision? Is it up to you in your Zhao Family?" Xing Chen scoffed, showing no interest in Zhao Yu's empty promises.
Unless Zhao Yu could offer some tangible benefits, it was absolutely impossible for him to help.
"Uh..." Zhao Yu was momentarily at a loss for words by Xing Chen's response. Although he was considered a strong figure in the Zhao Family, he could not decide such major matters. Moreover, Xing Chen was right; he wouldn't agree to such empty promises either if he were in Xing Chen's position.
"Heh... If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving," Xing Chen said with a cold laugh, intending to leave. However, having encountered such a talented person as Zhao Yu, how could he let him go so easily?
"Brother, wait a moment. Although I can't make decisions for the entire Zhao Family, I can suggest to my family that you come back with me to the Zhao Family first, and then we can discuss how to proceed," Zhao Yu said anxiously as he looked at Xing Chen. He knew that if they couldn't recruit powerful external aid this time, their Zhao Family would definitely be at the bottom.
"Fine, I can go back with you to the Zhao Family. But how can you guarantee that your Zhao Family won't force me into a duel for you? Your Zhao Family is so powerful; I can't afford to offend you with my mere Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm!" Although Xing Chen claimed he couldn't afford to offend them, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Please rest assured on this point, brother. I, Zhao Yu, swear that once we reach the Zhao Family, I will ensure that you won't lose even a hair," Zhao Yu vowed earnestly.
Although Zhao Yu indeed had some ulterior motives, he absolutely dared not do anything against Xing Chen. After all, Xing Chen was from Snow Wind Island. Although he didn't know which faction from Snow Wind Island he belonged to specifically, seeing his age and strength and his ability to fight above his level indicated that he definitely did not come from an ordinary faction.
Moreover, upon noticing the disdain in Xing Chen's eyes, Zhao Yu became even more certain that Xing Chen was from a major power on Snow Wind Island. After all, if he were merely from an ordinary faction, how could he display such disdain when facing one of the four major powers of Nebula Island?
"Since that's the case, there's nothing wrong with visiting your Zhao Family. I hope your Zhao Family can provide something substantial; don't expect me to help you with such empty tricks," Xing Chen pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Alright, you all stay here and don't let anyone approach. I'll take Brother Xing Chen back to the family," Zhao Yu said, a hint of joy appearing on his face as he addressed the family disciples who had already dealt with the Song Family members.
"Yes, Elder Six," the Zhao Family Disciple replied respectfully.
Zhao Yu is the Sixth Elder of the Zhao Family, and his strength is among the strongest in the entire family, second only to the Zhao Family Head and the other five elders.
The strongest family head of the Zhao Family is a Yang Po Fivefold Peak expert, with two Yang Po Fourfold elders and three Yang Po San Chong elders beneath him, making a total of six elders including Zhao Yu.
As for other forces, aside from Nebula Gate having a Yang Po Sevenfold expert, the strongest among the Three Major Forces is the Fire Sect's leader, who has reached Yang Po Sixth Level. The head of the Song Family is at the same level as the Zhao Family head, being a Yang Po Fivefold.
"Brother Xing Chen, just ahead is our Zhao Family's City," Zhao Yu said, pointing to a city in front of them.
Xing Chen followed Zhao Yu's direction with his gaze; the scale of that city was not too large, comparable to Star City, which he once controlled under Starry Branch.
Soon, the two entered the city and headed towards where the Zhao Family was located.
