Chapter 284

The Next Generation’s Future is Bright

“No one?” asked Cang Wanzi, glaring daggers at the youths usually boasting and carrying on.

Cang Wanzi could understand they weren’t in their element if Mu Yu hadn’t won, but Mu Yu gave the hubristic fiends a swordplay clinic, yet nobody raised his hand. The prevalent cowardice was ridiculous – disgraceful, in fact.

The cultivators’ concern was easy to guess. The only aspect one was evaluated on was the result, never the process. Regardless of one’s efforts, losing wouldn’t earn them anything. To the contrary, they stood to lose more than just the match. Being a hero wasn’t rewarded if the bravado didn’t pay off. Moreover, after Mu Yu’s multiple upsets, the fiends would inevitably go out there for blood to avenge their losses.

“Humans, you should rename your race as cowards. I have to repay the favour,” jeered Long Xingyun, subtly sending a threat.

Long Xingyun had almost waited for fifteen minutes.

“You go!”

“Why don’t you?”

“He wants revenge!”

“It’s all Lan Feng’s fault. Why’d he have to go and hurt the rhino? Now we have to risk our wellbeing, damn plague.”

Tian Ran: Is it really not him?

Purposely acting out of character, Mu Yu replied, “I know.”

Watching Tian Ran walk off was the equivalent of watching his joy and bliss depart. Mu Yu weakly muttered under his breath, “Sorry.”

The heat in the village started to build up as the sun climbed to its peak position in the sky. The irritating heat added to the unrest going through humanity’s minds.

“Are none of you going to accept the challenge? Are you really going to go home with your tails between your legs?!” yelled Cang Wanzi, bristling.

“Since nobody wants to accept the challenge, we’ll deem this our win. You lot are a joke.” Long Xingun, who could discharge his Body Severing Realm Ninth Layer energy to intimidate them, derided, “I was worried about you for nothing.”

The fiend race was willing to set aside their ego to learn from humanity to turn their weaknesses into weapons, and the difference showed.

“Why are you jumping to conclusions on your own?”

A sudden gust of wind and flower-petal rain started. He suavely hopped from petal to petal. He grabbed one of the petals wreathing around him and had a whiff.

“Here he comes again,” Mu Yu mumbled.
