Although this was a blatant provocation and anyone would know that it was a bait Feng Luotian threw away to lure in his prey, how could Sikong Jiu take this lying down?

First, he went to the shop wishing to bully God’s Son to have some fun as he was always the treasure of Mei Clan. Instead, he got humiliated by a random Wing Realm shop manager without being able to retaliate. It was like he got bullied instead.

Second, he was rescued by the one he went there to bully. Even though Sikong Jiu was a typical Young Master, he was not too dumb to not notice that the shop manager released his suppressive force because of Feng Luotian’s intervention. Being helped by God’s Son was even more ashamed than being bullied, at least in his perspective.

Third, he got a piece of news earlier in the morning that this so-called God’s Crippled Son had already awakened his bloodline. Even more than that, he was now a Seven Fangs Fighter and got fourth ranking in the Peacock School’s entrance exam. After he saw Feng Luotian and could not sense any cultivation from the guy, everything seemed to be ridiculous to him at the moment.

And now, this crippled guy was challenging him to a fight?!

With all the ire, the indignation, the displeasure he felt since he was in that weapon shop, of course, Sikong Jiu would accept this bet and beat him to the ground, and it must be in the most vicious and tormenting way.

Despite the fact that the Titanium weapon was far more valuable than the content in his money cache, Sikong Jiu did not care about it at all.

Sikong Jiu snarled: “Alright!! I accept it, God’s Son!! Until someone surrenders or becomes incapable of doing so, the fight will continue. Is that right?”

Feng Luotian beamed at his opponent: “It’s good that you understand the rule so fast. Let’s place the stakes on the side so that we won’t resort to any dirty trick like not giving it up after losing.”

Sikong Jiu: “Hmph!! As if I’ll lose!!”

Sun Wuji was snickering on the side, thinking to himself: “So this is what’s all about. Brother Feng, ah, you’re practically robbing the guy without reserve.”

It had not even been a day after Feng Luotian had made his debut in the entrance exam. Regardless of how many people had already been gossiping about God’s Son breaking free from being a cripple, naturally, if people did not see it with their own eyes, they could hardly believe the news, let alone the impossible one.

Even Sun Wuji himself, if he did not witness how strong his brother had become, would not believe the gossip either.

Sun Wuji still did not know how Feng Luotian could entirely hide his cultivation, but with this, Sikong Jiu’s choate fortune would literally be in his hand.

And since Feng Luotian could stand his ground against a Three Talon clone, Sun Wuji held not the slightest amount of doubt whether Feng Luotian could defeat Sikong Jiu or not.

The only thing Sun Wuji was worrying about right now was: How are they going to escape Sikong Jiu’s Talon bodyguards after successfully ‘robbing’ the guy?

While Sun Wuji was thinking and Feng Luotian and Sikong Jiu was placing their stakes then preparing for a fight, more crowd showed up at the scene. They were talking about that news they had heard everywhere since this morning.

“What? God’s Son is going to fight with Young Master from the Sikong Clan?”

“Yep. I was present ever since they arrived. They will be fighting soon.”

“That means what I heard about God’s Son is no longer a cripple is true then.”

“Probably. This is not the Sikong Jiu bullying God’s Son, but the latter has challenged the former for a fight.”

“What?! God’s Son was strong enough to fight one of the Four Stars now?”

“Hehe. I tell you what. I was there yesterday at the Peacock School’s exam as one of the applicants. And when I witnessed God’s Son’s feats? Just thinking about it is causing me a goosebump.”

“Come on!! If you’re really there yesterday, then spit it out. Don’t hold it to yourself.”

“I’ll just say the most shocking one then. Prepare to be in absolute awe. The music rises. PAM♬ PAM♪ PAM♫ PAM♩”

“Ignore this guy. I think he’s crazy.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll talk. Although he could not take it down, God’s Son was able to exchange more than a hundred moves against a Three Talon clone prepared by the Peacock School’s Second Elder.”

“…” Nothing came out of everyone’s mouth.

“…” Nor did anything from the guy telling the story as he was expecting the clamor after he finished the last sentence.

“That confirms it. This guy is really crazy.”

“Yeah. How could he be that strong?”

“I’m telling the truth!!”

“Blah Blah Blah … not listening.” The crowd disregarded the guy and did not pay attention to him anymore.

Unfortunately for him, no one beheld the scene as he did around here. There were not that many cultivators from the west area of Divine Bird City who went all the way to apply for Peacock School as the Sparrow School was not that much different in strength and it was close to their homes.

“You think God’s Son can really fight Sikong Jiu?”

“I don’t know Sikong Jiu got the first ranking in yesterday’s exam at the Sparrow School. And he’s already Eight Fangs. I think it’s pretty tough for even the Four Stars.”

“What’s Four Stars?”

“Are you new to the city?”

“Yes, I’ve just arrived last week tagging along with my father in his business trip.”

“Well, that explains it. The term [Four Stars] is used to call four promising youngsters with the highest talent amongst the same generation. The first Star is the greatest genius who awakened his bloodline since he was nine, Ying Clan’s Clan Chief’s grandson, Ying Lizhua.”

“Awakened at nine?!”

“Yeah, that’s why he was titled the greatest genius. Not only that, his attack capability is heaven-defying and overpowering. I heard he took down someone with a cultivation three levels higher than him in a couple of moves.”

“That’s impossible!! Is the suppressive principle not applicable to him? It can’t be, right? The principle is how the world works. No one can defy it.”

“That’s right!! And that means his offensive power is even more overwhelming than what is suppressed. Because of that, he earned another title: [Dominating Star].”

“Dominating Star …” The guy took notes of the name in his mind like he was receiving a lecture.

“The next Star is the Peacock Lord’s daughter, Goddess Mei: Mei Yue’er.”

“Goddess? She’s really beautiful then.”

“Hehe, wait until you see her yourself. And not only her beauty that is stunning, but also her Theríon. Someone said she’s got the highest Theríon amount ever recorded in the city’s history. That’s why she’s also the [Theríon Star].”

“Theríon Star …”

“Next is this guy here: Sikong Jiu. He was crowned as one of the Four Stars due to his speed. Although the Sikong Clan’s bloodline is proficient in speed, this guy is even besting everyone in his clan.”

“He is the [Speed Star] then.”

“You catch on pretty quickly.”

“And the last Star?”

“The last Star is the most mysterious one. Only his rumors were jumping around the city. We only knew his family name ‘Wei’. This Wei guy became a Star because of his insane cultivation speed. Even with the same age as the other three stars, the last rumor said that he was already at Ten Fangs and about to breakthrough to Talon Realm.”

“WTF?! Reaching Talon Realm under 15 years of age?! Are you making this up? That could rival the top geniuses at the Kingdom!! Do you know what that signifies?”

“I just tell you what I heard. And can you guess what he is called?”

“Cultivation Star?”

“That’d be his title if all of those rumors are confirmed to be true. But right now, no one can say for sure, so he’s currently called the [Mysterious Star].”

“So, he’s the Mysterious Star …”

“But I’ve got to say one thing, the future of the Four Stars is certainly more promising than the previous Four Suns.”

“What’s with your city? I know you have Four Great Families and Four Lords. You just explained Four Stars … and now you talk about Four Suns?! Everyone loves this number in this city?!”

“Not at all, mate. They’re just there and making up to that number coincidentally. And the Four Suns are the geniuses from a decade ago. They are … oh, it’s starting.”

When Feng Luotian and Sikong Jiu were about to face, the crowd stopped talking and intently watched their incoming battle, ending the conversation just like that.

Feng Luotian gave his neck a couple of snaps, thinking.

“As I remember the Sikong Clan is specializing in speed. Let’s see what KRONOS has to say …”

Name: Sikong Jiu

Level: Eight Fangs

Bloodline: Flying Shadow Lightning Sparrow

Bloodline Ability: Lightning Mark

The user can place the mark on any object as a waypoint to teleport oneself to it. Theríon consumption is corresponding to how far away the user is from the mark when they teleport.
