No one expected that Yuan Min would actually agree to Wang Chao's request. This person had only been in the Safe Zone for a day! The Black Clothes Society, known for their ruthless nature, had never allowed anyone who offended them to live peacefully in this world. Anger and resentment filled the air, and Iron Joy, who was among the crowd, couldn't help but be stunned. Why did so many people trust someone like Wang Chao, who had only arrived a day ago?
What was it all for?
At that moment, however, no one paid attention to Iron Joy, who was lost in the crowd. All eyes were on Wang Chao. Meanwhile, the citizens of the Safe Zone, having heard the news, were pushing toward the entrance. Most of them were unaware of what had happened, but Wang Chao's face was firmly etched in their minds. Perhaps Wang Chao himself hadn't anticipated that his intention to discreetly investigate Wang Xiaochuan would lead to an open conflict with the Black Clothes Society.
However, Wang Chao had not expected Yuan Min to agree to his terms. He smiled and nodded before saying, "Alright, I just need your attitude on this. When the fight starts, just protect the people of the Safe Zone; don't worry about me. By the way, could you lend me a Sleeve Blade? It's hard to fight without a weapon!"
Yuan Min nodded without saying much and handed over a Sleeve Blade to Wang Chao. As he looked at it, he noticed that although Yuan Min exuded a neutral beauty, the Sleeve Blade was quite delicate. It was longer than an ordinary dagger and adorned with intricate patterns—clearly a weapon meant for women. Holding the blade in one hand, Wang Chao said nothing more and turned to face the Vice President of the Black Cloak Society.
"I wonder if what I'm doing is right or wrong," Yuan Min murmured as she watched Wang Chao.
"Don't worry; he won't let you down," a woman's voice chimed in. "In fact, you might be the one gaining from this." Yuan Min turned around in confusion and saw a woman standing behind her—she was even more beautiful than Yuan Min herself and radiated an aura that suggested she was no ordinary person.
"Who are you?" Yuan Min asked the woman beside her.
Shen Zhitao suddenly recalled how Wang Chao had introduced her to Iron Joy earlier. "I'm her girlfriend; my name is Shen Zhitao."
At that moment, both women heard the sound of clashing swords as Wang Chao engaged with the Black Clothes Society. In just a second, he unleashed about ten strikes with his Sleeve Blade. Wang Chao understood that he had completely severed ties with the Black Clothes Society; if he wanted to establish himself in the south in the future, he needed to deal with them first.
At this moment, Wang Chao wasn't using all his strength; he wanted to gauge the Vice President of the Black Cloak Society's abilities to estimate how powerful their leader—the ultimate authority in the black market—might be. During their brief exchange, both Wang Chao's Sleeve Blade and the Vice President's curved knife sustained numerous nicks and cuts.
Wang Chao quickly assessed that the Vice President's strength was around Platinum Tier—not a match for him. This suggested that the leader of the Black Clothes Society was likely at Diamond level. With such power, Wang Chao felt confident; he knew his own capabilities well. In his Breathing Technique state, his strength stabilized at Diamond Mid-Tier level. Unless he encountered someone truly extraordinary, even those at Diamond Upper Level would find him a worthy opponent.
Having gauged the approximate level of the Black Clothes Society Leader, Wang Chao no longer needed to test the Vice President's abilities. Suddenly, he surged forward, his speed and strength more than doubled.
"What kind of person is he?" one member of the Black Clothes Society asked another. "He’s clearly only at the Golden Upper level, so why is he able to overpower our Vice President? What’s going on?"
"You’re right!" Yuan Min finally spoke after a long pause. "His strength might even surpass mine, but this is just too strange!"
For a moment, everyone was in disbelief. At first, when Wang Chao was able to withstand the Vice President of the Black Cloak Society's dozen strikes, they thought it was already impressive. But who would have expected that Wang Chao would grow more formidable as the fight progressed, forcing the Vice President of the Black Clothes Society into retreat? Now, the Vice President could no longer launch an attack and was reduced to passive defense.
"If there is a martial art in this world that can enhance one's abilities so drastically," the Vice President shouted while retreating, "then it must be the Zhang Family's secret technique, the Breathing Technique! You are one of them!"
This statement left everyone around in shock. For these ordinary citizens, the Zhang Family was a legendary clan; how could common people ever encounter someone from such a family? The foremost family in Huaxia—no number of Black Clothes Society members could contend with them! Wang Chao felt helpless; he indeed knew the Breathing Technique, but he hadn't even used it yet!
"If I were from the Zhang Family, your Black Clothes Society would already be reduced to rubble!" Wang Chao said coldly. "You know my surname isn’t Zhang; it’s Wang. The current head of the Zhang Family is Zhang Fusheng."
Wang Chao's nonchalant words shocked those around him even more. Even if he wasn't from the Zhang Family, he certainly wasn’t an ordinary person, and it seemed he knew the head of the Zhang Family.
"What on earth is he?" Yuan Min exclaimed, wide-eyed and speaking to himself.
The duel between Wang Chao and the Vice President was nearing its end. With one swift strike, Wang Chao brought his sword down; the Vice President raised his weapon to block it. The force of that strike bent the Vice President's legs, causing him to half-kneel on the ground. Seeing this, Wang Chao wasted no time and kicked out with full force, landing a blow directly on the Vice President's chest. The impact sent him flying as if struck by a speeding train.
The Vice President soared through the air for over ten meters before crashing to the ground, blood spraying from his mouth and nose in a crimson arc. Clutching his chest and pointing at Wang Chao, he managed to utter a few words: "Impossible! You must be from the Zhang Family; otherwise, you couldn't defeat me with just Golden Upper strength! It’s impossible!" As he spoke, more blood spilled from his lips.
Wang Chao smiled lightly and replied, "I’ve already told you I’m not from the Zhang Family. But there’s a saying: there are always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. It seems your Black Clothes Society isn’t invincible after all. What do you think?"
