《This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder》Chapter 106: Challenging
Advertisement
Tianyi walked off the arena after giving Dong Chifan some encouragement and laying the foundation for their future relationship. As he walked, some people smiled and even waved as he walked by. In response, Tianyi smiled back.
"You're quite good."
Tianyi paused as he took in those provoking words. He looked at the man who spoke them, and his pupils shrunk into needle points. The man wore yellow robes and had an overly familiar face.
He could sense the arrogance and disdain in the man's eyes. The man seemed to have thought he hid it well, but even Tianyi's with his sub-par people reading ability could clearly sense them.
I don't feel the urge to kill the Dragon Emperor's Clones, but each and every one of them seems to want me to kill them. If you don't appear in front of me, will you die?
Tianyi gave a self-satisfied smile. "Naturally, if I don't even have this minor ability, I can't call myself the son of the Sword Empress. This Daoist is?"
The man's smile deepened as he heard Tianyi's response. "Longwei, I am Longwei."
"I see, so it's Daoist Longwei. I look forward to your abilities tomorrow." Tianyi walked off after saying those words. His smile disappeared after walking away, and his brows twitched as if wanting to furrow.
Tianyi felt as if Longwei's eyes seemed to say that he knew Tianyi or at least personally met before. But Tianyi didn't recognize him at all. Or at least, not as an individual.
Does he think I'm a Dragon Emperor Clone? But my existence didn't provoke the other Dragon Emperor Clones I met before. At least not in the same way as Xi Longyi from the alternate reality. Except for Lei Jingye, he just wanted to plain murder me because of his previous memories.
Only when Tianyi saw Su Wanyu and the others did he snap out of his thoughts.
"Senior Sister, I have an idea. Would you mind hearing me out?"
Su Wanyu stared at Tianyi for a bit before she spoke. "What is your idea?"
"It's like this. There is a True Immortal's inheritance site near here. Inside, participants will be rewarded depending on how many trials they pass. Perhaps, afterward, everyone can go visit and gain something. Of course, you could also make it a reward for the most outstanding ones."
Tianyi didn't directly speak of the matter but used his spiritual sense to convey the message. Who knew whether Su Wanyu would be forced to take everyone if he said it aloud. Peer pressuring her like this would only invite bad blood between them.

"There is such a place nearby? Which Immortal's inheritance is it?"
"It should be an Immortal known as Ironword."
"So it's him. I heard that he was a famous loose Immortal who suddenly disappeared years ago, to think that he left an inheritance site nearby. How did you find it?"
"Just by luck. I ran into some information about inheritance sites and natural treasures, but they weren't worth it for me to take a trip."
"Immortal Ironword wasn't a particularly impressive Immortal according to my knowledge, and his inheritances would not have anything too shocking. Using this to shorten the distance between sects, your idea is good, Junior Brother."
"Many thanks, but I can't compare to Senior Sister. It's just an inheritance of a True Immortal in the end."
Taking in Tianyi's words, Su Wanyu's lips twitched under her veil.
Just a True Immortal's inheritance?
Even for descendants of important Elders like them, a True Immortal level inheritance was still very hard to come by!
Su Wanyu felt as if Tianyi was provoking her but seeing his face that clearly expressed his earlier words were his true thoughts. She could only reevaluate how much Grand Elder Xi valued her son.
"Sister Su, come on, tell us. What is Brother Xi's idea? Ji Muyang asked. Among the ones here, she was the most direct one, preferably to do things in a straightforward and upright manner. At least, concerning most matters.
Su Wanyu naturally informed them of the matter, causing them all to sigh.
He Luoli sighed. "No wonder Buzhou Immortal Sect is the hegemonic sect of the Heaven Continent. Even able to give out the inheritance of a True Immortal to us, praiseworthy, praiseworthy."
"Than I will thank the Buzhou Immortal Sect, Sister Su, and Brother Xi head of time for this opportunity in place of my junior brothers and sisters." San Jiuling said with a salute.
The others also offered words of praise and thanks, even Ji Muyang, who gazed at Su Wanyu with hidden envy and jealousy.
Su Wanyu didn't wait long and announced the matter to everyone. Although it would extend the Heavenly Connection Gathering past what was planned, no one would argue in the face of such an opportunity.
If there were one issue Tianyi had, it would be that Longwei would also get such an opportunity. He had already asked about Longwei after talking with Su Wanyu and the others.
When Tianyi looked at him when Su Wanyu spoke of the Immortal's inheritance site, he saw that Longwei's face stiffen for a moment.
Did he know about the inheritance site? Tianyi wondered.

The spars resumed for the Core Formation Masters below. But after Dong Chifan and Tianyi's match, the rest of the spars did not elicit as many reactions from the spectators. There were a few standouts, but it dimmed in comparison to Dong Chifan.
But the atmosphere was still high due to the announcement. Like this, the third day ended on a high note.
On the fourth day, Tianyi sat away from Su Wanyu, He Luoli, San Jiuling, Ji Muyang, and Hun Jusang.
"Junior Brother Xi -no- Brother Xi, yesterday you were too awesome!" Su Bojing, who hadn't seen Tianyi for days, sat next time and excitedly recounted yesterday's events to the main actor. "The way you said that you also knew spatial techniques and then appeared behind that Dong Chifan was too awesome!"
Tianyi felt as if his ear was going to melt and fall off with how much Su Bojing was yapping into his ear. After seeing Tianyi's match yesterday, Su Bojing's attitude drastically changed, and he deliberately placed himself lower than Tianyi like a subordinate than a fellow disciple with higher cultivation.
"Don't be so crude! Prince Xi's actions were simply giving pointers to a junior and not to show off!" Beside Su Bojing sat Jian Wuyan. Due to her friendship with Su Wanyu, Su Bojing treated Jian Wuyan very courteously.
"Indeed, indeed. It was I that was too crude, Sister Jian." Su Bojing said with a smile towards Jian Wuyan.
Tianyi sighed and looked into the sky. Then he looked to the person on his other side. Dong Chifan sat there with an awkward smile, feeling out of place.
"Ignore them," Tianyi softly said to Dong Chifan. Tianyi felt it was easier sitting next to these three instead of Su Wanyu and the other leaders due to the invisible tension.
Dong Chifan managed to widen his smile a bit.
Tianyi looked at the stage above before looking back at Dong Chifan. He began to talk, mostly giving pointers to Dong Chifan, beautifully using the words and phrases he heard Su Wanyu and the other use.
Dong Chifan listened intently, like an obedient animal, against Tianyi's expectation. Tianyi had thought Dong Chifan would be too proud to listen to Tianyi critique him, but Dong Chifan was surprisingly receptive to Tianyi's words.
Tianyi had only wanted to find something to fill the time due to boredom. He felt he could easily see through the fight and techniques of the current people on stage. Not long after, Su Bojing and Jian Wuyan seeing Tianyi talk animately with Dong Chifan and immediately joined. But their words consisted of how terribly Dong Chifan lost to Tianyi and how arrogant he was.
Tianyi seeing this, quickly directed the conversation to the spar on stage and discussed it instead. In the end, Dong Chifan, Su Bojing, and Jian Wuyan began to animatedly argue the spars on stage, each with their own views. Tianyi just sat there listening. He had said a few words earlier to express his view, but the three of them would immediately agree and not argue, causing Tianyi to be speechless.
"He Yongli, please accept my challenge."
Tianyi looked up to see He Luoli's younger brother challenge the current winner. His eyes lit up and focused on the spar. Although he couldn't remember He Yongli well, He Yongli had supposedly wanted to challenge him to a duel before, right?
Tianyi could discern that He Yongli's sword-arts were spectacular, but they focused more on the strength aspect like a saber. Although his techniques looked brilliant, they lacked the essence of what made it a sword art, the versatility of a sword.
He's using too much brute strength. Although Jian Wuyan's is similar, her sword is more suited to such attacks with pure force, but He Yongli is wasting his sword's potential.
Tianyi made such a judgment. But he continued to watch, curious as to what He Yongli's actions would be. He had a feeling that He Yongli would challenge him. As expected, He Yongli defeated his opponents after they traded a few more blows. He wasn't like Dong Chifan, who defeated his opponent as quickly as possible. Letting his foe show all his brilliance before beating them, this etiquette He Yongli still had.
"Who else would like to challenge me? Among everyone here, I believe I have the strongest sword arts!" He Yongli's eyes were directly on Tianyi.
Welp, I saw this coming a mile away. Too bad, my greatest pride is in my hand arts and not my sword arts. However... being challenged like this doesn't feel good at all. I want to give him a good beating. Also, He Yongli, did you forget about your brother up with Su Wanyu?
Casting these thoughts aside. Tianyi planned to accept the challenge. This was openly provoking him. If he retreated, where would his face go?
But before Tianyi could go up, another person challenged He Yongli.
"I'm quite interested in seeing the person with the greatest sword arts. Please advise." Holding a saber in hand, Longwei stepped up with a provocative smile in place.
