Chapter 50: The Furious Sun Feng!
TL: Etude
"Do you concede?" Ye Tian held his knife to Sun Feng's throat and asked.
"I concede!" Sun Feng said reluctantly.
He was just an elite martial warrior. Although his attack power had reached the level of a grand martial warrior with the aid of his knife skill, his defense was still at the level of an elite martial warrior. His elemental body shield would not be able to withstand Ye Tian's strike. Moreover, the neck is one of the weakest parts of the human body, naturally unable to resist a weapon imbued with elemental force.
"Hand over the bronze-level knife skill—Qing Feng Slash manual!" Ye Tian demanded.
Sun Feng's face turned ashen as he glared at Ye Tian. "You really want to take my bronze-level knife skill? You'll regret it!"
A bronze-level knife skill was not cheap. Martial Warriors without knife skill talent might not care, but those with knife skill talent would value it highly, even willing to spend tens of millions to purchase it. Sun Feng didn't care about losing a bronze-level knife skill to Ye Tian; it was equivalent to losing some money. However, the real loss was not about money but face.
He had been thoroughly humiliated this time, losing not just his own face but also that of the Tieya base. A genius from a medium-sized base had come to a small base and been defeated by a genius of that small base. If word got out, where would his prestige be? Even his family would lose face in front of other families.
Therefore, he despised Ye Tian.
"Hand it over!" Ye Tian's voice turned cold.
"Here!" Sun Feng threw the Qing Feng Slash manual at Ye Tian, then glared at him with murderous eyes, as if to say, "Just you wait!"
Ye Tian got the Qing Feng Slash manual and was in high spirits. As for Sun Feng's threat, he didn't take it seriously. If Sun Feng dared to cause trouble, he would be the one to regret it.
The duel ended, and the other martial warriors dispersed, spreading the news of the event. One could imagine that the entire Linhai base would be discussing the duel between Ye Tian and Sun Feng the next day, and Ye Tian's fame would surely resound throughout Linhai Base.
One battle made him famous, and that was Ye Tian.
"Ye Tian!" Wind Wolf and his team approached.
"Wind Wolf, you guys came too!" Ye Tian greeted with a smile.
On the other side, the Sun family.
At that moment, Sun Feng was venting his anger in his residence, smashing many pieces of furniture. Even some servants were severely beaten by him to vent his frustration.
"Feng'er!" A middle-aged man walked in, glanced at the broken furniture scattered on the floor, and frowned, "Are you still angry about losing the duel?"
The middle-aged man was Sun Feng's father, Sun Qinghe, also a grand martial warrior but only in the early stages. However, he also had knife skill talent, making his strength comparable to late-stage grand martial warriors.
"Father!" Sun Feng calmed down a bit, walked up to Sun Qinghe, and called out.
"It's just one loss; there's no need to be so disheartened," Sun Qinghe said.
"Father, I want Ye Tian dead. Can you help me?" Sun Feng requested.
He was self-aware, knowing that he couldn't kill Ye Tian with his own strength and couldn't mobilize the Sun family's grand martial warriors. His only option was to seek help from his father.
"No," Sun Qinghe flatly refused.
"Why?" Sun Feng was puzzled.
"Because it's a critical time now," Sun Qinghe explained. "Although we've become part of Linhai Base, many people here still consider us outsiders. Our foundation here is not yet stable. If we kill Linhai Base's top genius at this time, even if the Lin family doesn't trouble us, what will the other martial warriors of Linhai Base think? They might cause us problems in various ways, severely affecting the family's development."
"So, we're just going to let Ye Tian go?" Sun Feng was very unwilling.
"No, Ye Tian has made our Sun family lose a lot of face. We can't let him go. But we can't act against him at this time. In a few months, when our family has completely stabilized its foundation in Linhai Base, we can then take action to eliminate Ye Tian," Sun Qinghe assured.
"Fine, let Ye Tian live a few more months," Sun Feng's face darkened.
A few months was not a long time, and basically, nothing would change. Neither Sun Feng nor Sun Qinghe believed that Ye Tian could grow to the level of a peak grand martial warrior in just a few months.
And so, time slowly passed, and the entire Linhai base remained very peaceful.
"The Sun family hasn't troubled me?" Ye Tian, who had been cultivating for about ten days, found it strange.
