Chapter 65: Before the War Begins

  "Master Sect Brother, how did you come?" Wu San Tong asked in puzzlement.

  The head of the Zhenwu Sect, Shangguan Zhengyi, stood in mid-air, but his body was hidden from view. As a result, the people below did not see him floating in the air, but this did not escape Wu San Tong's notice. The two men were roughly equal in their mastery of martial arts, so naturally Wu San Tong saw Shangguan Zhengyi hiding in mid-air.

  "Oh, junior brother, I'm just taking a casual look." Upper Official said calmly.

  Wu Santong and Shangguan Zhongmen both looked at Shangguan Yu, Wu Santong's face was calm, and Shangguan Zhongmen's face didn't show anything. As for Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Zhongmen thought he had a good talent, but didn't think much of the current Xu Mo.

  Wu Santong still had some confidence in Shangguan Yu, and on the virtual fighting platform, Xu Mo's realm would naturally be suppressed to the same level as Shangguan Yu. In these three months, Wu Santong also felt the strength of Shangguan Yu's physical body. Moreover, Shangguan Yu had been practicing three kinds of martial skills, Wu Santong knew that this disciple must have secrets on his body. However, he didn't plan to investigate further, who doesn't have a few small secrets anyway.

  What surprised Wu San Tong even more was that Shangguan Yu made progress every day, and in three months, he had never stopped. The three martial skills were also extremely powerful, and it was clear that they were very strong martial skills. As for Shangguan Yu's comprehension ability, there was no need to mention it, Wu San Tong had also learned a lesson now. This disciple, as long as he was properly trained, would likely surpass his master Wu San Tong in the future.

  "Master, I've always found it strange. Shangguan Yu is just my disciple, why are you so concerned about him?" Wu Santong asked.

  "Hmm? How can you ask that, junior brother?" The Upper Guardian looked at Wu San Tong with a faint smile on his face.

  "Just now when we first met, I said that the gift you gave was a local pearl, wasn't it? But later I was just joking, how could you really give him a gift, Master? And the gift is even the Dragon-Traveling Gun, this gun I know about. I really want to know why, can Master please enlighten me?" Wu San Tong asked again.

  "Hmm, junior brother, I won't hide it from you. On your body as a disciple, I felt a familiar feeling." Upper Official Palm Door replied.

  "This... Brother Shi, I was just joking, he wouldn't really be the descendant of your family's ancestors who was left outside, would he?" Wu San Tong laughed.

  "Of course not, the kind of closeness I felt from him is even more than what my own children and grandchildren give me. It's already comparable to my granddaughter. Junior Master, do you think this is normal?" Upper Official Zhang also smiled slightly.

  "Master won't be, will he? Didn't you back then...?" Wu San Tong asked in a low voice, suppressing his smile.

  "Go, go, go! Where do you think he's going? I've already asked my apprentice to investigate Shangguan Yu's background. Presumably, the person who went is someone you also know. I'm doing this, Brother Wu, don't you have any objections?" Shangguan Zhangmen looked at Wu Santong and asked sincerely.

  "Of course not, Brother Master would never harm his own disciple. As the master of Zhen Wu Men, and this kid is also a disciple of Zhen Wu Men." Wu San Tong said, his voice suddenly rising, "Right, Master, no matter what relationship this disciple has with your family, in any case, he was, is, and will be mine!"

  Shangguan Zhongmen nodded, of course he wouldn't have any opinions on this matter. "When my disciple returns, I'll naturally know about this kid's background. Whether or not he has a relationship with our Shangguan family will also be clear at that time."

  The two men didn't say anything more, Wu San Tong and Shang Guan Zhang Men stood silently in the void. Both of their gazes once again focused on Shang Guan Yu, they both wanted to know if Shang Guan Yu could win this duel or not.

  "What? There's actually a Void Fighting Stage here?" Xu Mo's astonished voice rang out.

  "That's right, this virtual Dou platform is where you will be competing. Here, your boundaries will be suppressed to the same boundary. In other words, your martial arts boundaries are all the same. This way, although it's not fair for my disciple, who made him a master uncle? Now, let's begin." Wu San Tong's voice spread throughout the field, and everyone heard it.

  "I didn't expect you to be just a Tianbing realm warrior!" Xu Mo felt the yuan energy in his body and said in surprise, "You probably don't know yet, looking at your appearance, you're probably already 15 years old. In your kind of small place, reaching Tianbing realm at 15 is considered a genius. But in our Zhenwu Gate, someone like you can only be a waste."

  Before Shangguan Yu could react, Xu Mo spoke again. "I really don't understand why Master Uncle would take you, a useless person like you, as his disciple. I don't know if he pitied you or what. With your current state, even if you're an outer sect disciple now, you'll probably be stuck as an outer sect disciple for the rest of your life. The requirement to become an inner sect disciple is to reach the Marquis realm before the age of twenty. Do you think you can achieve that before you turn twenty?"

  Xu Mo sneered, and naturally he would strongly attack Shi Guangyao in this situation.

  Qin Shou was shocked, looking at Shangguan Yu in the arena, his heart was bitter. He also knew how long Shangguan Yu had been cultivating, and now he was already a Tianbing realm expert after only half a year. It seemed that soon he would be able to catch up with him. Qin Shou clenched his fists, it seemed that he really needed to work hard on his cultivation, otherwise he might be left far behind by Shangguan Yu soon. Although Qin Shou was usually careless and idle, he still had a competitive heart.

  "Am I the senior or are you? Whether Jiang will become an inner disciple in the future is none of your concern. Besides, what business do you have with my affairs? Moreover, you're just my junior, what qualifications do you have to control me?"

  As for Xu Mo's words, Dugu Yu didn't feel any impact. In the three years in the Yuan realm, he was only thirteen years old. Moreover, during those three years, he had not actively cultivated his yuan energy, and now he has reached this level. As long as he reaches the Marquis extreme before the age of twenty, Dugu Yu still has confidence.

  However, the gaze of Shangguan Yu towards Xu Mo became even more cautious, and Xu Mo still had a great advantage. Of course, in Xu Mo's view, he had an overwhelming advantage. But in this situation, Xu Mo still adopted psychological tactics to attack him, it can be imagined that Xu Mo was definitely a cautious person. Such an opponent, of course, needed him to be more cautious in dealing with him.

  "Hmph, don't think that just because you're at the same level as me, you have a chance of winning. I, Xu Mo, haven't lived all these years for nothing. When it comes to understanding martial arts, even if you try your best, you can't catch up with me." Xu Mo looked at Shangguan Yu disdainfully and continued to mock him.

  Everyone also agreed with Xu Mo's words. Xu Mo is now a martial artist in the Hou Ji realm. Those who can reach the Hou Ji realm before the age of 20, whether it's innate talent or comprehension, are naturally not bad. Even if he was suppressed to the Tian Bing realm now, it's just that his martial arts progress was suppressed. As for understanding martial arts and mastering martial skills, Xu Mo is much stronger than Shangguan Yu.

  "Hmm, you've indeed lived for over twenty years, but whether it's been a waste or not is hard to say. My young junior, I've only just gotten to know you, so I don't know about these things yet." Upper Official Yu said with a smile.

  "Alright, alright, as a disciple of Shifu Zu, you're indeed quite formidable. Your verbal skills are impressive, but I'm afraid your actual abilities are far inferior to this?" Xu Mo said with disdain.

  "My young junior, why are you so concerned about my abilities? I've been thinking, with a junior like you, this life of mine isn't lived in vain." As for Xu Mo's sarcasm, Shangguan Yu chose to ignore it.

  Today, he must win beautifully. This battle is not only about his own face, but also about the face of his master Wu San Tong. Moreover, if he wins this battle, Wu San Tong will definitely cultivate him with more care in the future. And, the True Martial Gate will also invest more cultivation resources on him.

  If he had the cultivation resources of the Zhenwu Sect, his future progress in martial arts would definitely be many times faster. If he relied solely on himself to absorb yuanqi, it's likely that he wouldn't know when he could become a master, let alone find his parents. And if he wanted to reach his father's level, it's estimated that he wouldn't know how long he'd have to wait, until the year of the monkey or the month of the horse.

  Shangguan Yu was one mouthful of a junior, and Xu Mo's lungs were almost bursting with anger. However, in front of those true martial artists' disciples, he couldn't show his furious expression. "Hmph, today's duel, if you lose, don't cry later! Today, let me show you what it means to have someone outside the heavens and a person outside the world!"

  Xu Mo stretched out a finger, pointing at Shangguan Yu, "Now our realms are the same, if you lose, don't look for excuses again. If you lose today, then you really won't have the qualifications to be a master uncle anymore. From now on, don't pretend to be a master uncle either, how about it?"

  "Alright, if I lose, I'll do as you say." Yu Fei's battle spirit was ignited, "But if you lose, next time you see Shifu, you'd better be obedient and pay your respects, got it?"

  "Alright, alright, since you're so happy, let's have a competition then!" Xu Mo said with an icy gaze at Shangguan Yu, his tone low and menacing.

  Everyone else was also excited, and the two of them started fighting right away. This is the main event. In their opinion, Shangguan Yu had no chance of winning at all, these people just wanted to see Shangguan Yu make a fool of himself. Shangguan Yu was so lucky to be under Wu Santong's tutelage, I don't know how many people were unhappy about it. Being able to watch Shangguan Yu being trampled and not having to take action themselves, they naturally enjoyed the show.

  "Fight!" Shangguan Yu shouted loudly, and Xu Mo also shouted loudly at the same time.

  Xu Mo and Shang Guan Yu didn't say anything else on the dueling platform, but they had already charged at each other and started fighting.
