Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 599: Chapter 617: Tang Sect Competition

After Chu Linfeng left, he left behind expressions of shock among the crowd. Flattening the Tang Building with a single move—what kind of power is this? Perhaps these people have never even heard of it.

The shopkeeper amidst the ruins was undoubtedly dead, with no chance of survival under Chu Linfeng’s powerful Tyrant Slash. People grew even more curious about the young man’s identity and background.

Of course, the two middle-aged men who knew Chu Linfeng’s identity certainly wouldn’t divulge it. If Chu Linfeng found out, their days would be far from pleasant. After seeing Chu Linfeng leave, they quickly headed toward the Tang Sect.

The news of a Tang Building being demolished with a single move by an ugly youth spread quickly throughout the surroundings. Soon, almost everyone in the small town knew about it. Naturally, there were other Tang Sect assets and people in the town.

The news soon reached the Tang Sect, and the Tang Family’s patriarch, Tang Guantian, was instantly furious upon hearing it. ”Who has such audacity to dare destroy my Tang Building? Gather men, capture the two who destroyed the Tang Building, and make them pay for their foolishness.”

Thus, the Tang Sect immediately sent dozens of family members, including two elders with rather high strength, quickly heading toward the small town where the Tang Building was.

Meanwhile, Chu Linfeng and Yang Rui were sitting atop a mountain hundreds of miles away. ”Lin Feng, creating such a huge commotion might have been a bit too much. After all, these are people from Tang Li’s family. If she finds out, she might really get upset,” Yang Rui said.

”Anyone who dares insult my people must be punished. Even if Tang Li were present, I would do the same. You don’t have to worry. After taking a short rest in the fresh air up here, let’s directly head to the Tang Sect,” said Chu Linfeng.

”I think we should revert to our original appearances. The Tang Sect’s influence is greater than even our Yang Sect. Our current appearance has already been recognized by the Tang Sect’s people, so you won’t be able to participate in the competition. Family rules are family rules. Even if you kill all the Tang Sect’s people, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll win Tang Li over.

Moreover, if you actually do that, it would put Tang Li in a difficult position, or perhaps she’d resent you for a lifetime. Think it over carefully,” Yang Rui advised.

After considering Yang Rui’s words, Chu Linfeng agreed that they made sense. After handling matters related to Tang Li, he would directly proceed to the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall to fetch Lin Ruoxi, then return to Canglan Ancient Land to find people with the Black Tortoise bloodline, ultimately making his way into the Netherworld.

”Let’s do as you suggested. The Tang Sect must be in chaos right now—I’m not sure if it’ll affect this matchmaking competition,” Chu Linfeng replied, promptly removing his disguise and changing into a different outfit.

Yang Rui also reverted to her feminine form. No one was on the mountain top; she was already Chu Linfeng’s woman, so changing clothes in front of him was no big deal.

Once they had resumed their original forms, Chu Linfeng said, ”Let’s go and see if the commotion at the Tang Sect plays out as we expect.”

Chu Linfeng and Yang Rui soon left the mountain top and landed a few miles from the Tang Sect before slowly walking along the main road without drawing any attention.

Before long, they reached the Tang Sect, which was now bustling with people. Many found it odd that Chu Linfeng was with Yang Rui—if the young man already had a woman, why would he come to participate in the Tang Family’s matchmaking competition?

”Rui’er, find a place to watch. I’ll go sign up. If anyone asks about you, say you’re my sister, here to accompany me,” Chu Linfeng told Yang Rui.

Nodding, Yang Rui watched as Chu Linfeng reached the registration point of the Tang Sect, where he wrote his name on plain paper, receiving a copper token with a number.

Hundreds registered for the competition—some had been eliminated from Yang Rui’s martial arts matchmaking event; others came specifically for it. Many recognized Chu Linfeng, knowing he was the Yang Sect’s son-in-law, yet none pointed it out, which pleased Chu Linfeng.

Soon, the matchmaking competition began, and the crowd moved to the Tang Sect’s martial arts training ground—a spacious field of several thousand square meters. The Tang Sect mansion was not small, comparable to the Grand General’s Mansion in the Imperial City, proving them a regional overlord.

A middle-aged man in a purple robe then spoke on the training ground: ”Today is my daughter’s matchmaking competition. I’m sure everyone knows the rules by now—now, all registered boys, please step forward and hit the Outer Heaven Meteorite in your order. Whoever makes the sound from the meteorite last the longest will become Tang Guantian’s son-in-law.

Our Tang Sect didn’t choose a martial arts competition like the Yang Sect, which could injure participants to various degrees. In fact, my daughter Tang Li came up with this idea. Today, we’ll see who’ll become my son-in-law!”

Once the Tang Family’s patriarch finished speaking, someone asked, ”What if the Outer Heaven Meteorite is shattered? Should those behind still proceed with the test?”

”Good question! The meteorite is very resilient; even Ninth Layer of Celestial Martial Realm experts can’t shatter it. I trust none of you have achieved the Ninth Layer yet, so you can compete with peace of mind. If someone does manage the impossible, that person will directly become my son-in-law, and there will be no need for others to compete,” Tang Guantian replied.

Chu Linfeng glanced at the so-called Outer Heaven Meteorite, quietly amused—for it was actually Space Black Hole material. Undoubtedly tough, but unattainable for these people. However, he could easily handle it.

Soon, someone stepped forward, and Chu Linfeng examined his copper token—72, a relatively early number that might leave others dismayed when he shatters the meteorite.

Each person had three chances to strike, akin to the Imperial City Guard recruitment trials. However, this crowd seemed weaker. Chu Linfeng dismissed these competitors’ attacks, having no interest in them.

At this moment, he stood like an adult among children, far beyond them in skills.

As each competitor took their turn, some wore joyous expressions, others were disappointed. So far, only three maintained ten-second sounds from the meteorite.

Two hours later, Chu Linfeng stepped forward and glanced at Tang Guantian, avoiding an immediate attack on the meteorite and instead addressing the crowd, ”Those behind can skip the competition and just enjoy more drinks later, since I’ll shatter the stone.”

Chu Linfeng’s words elicited dissatisfaction, prompting one young man to retort, ”Are you brain-damaged, spouting such nonsense? Why not take a closer look at yourself?”

”Isn’t this the youth from the Yang Sect’s matchmaking event? How is he here now? Does he intend to marry the Tang Family’s young lady too?” someone else exclaimed.

Instantly, many started gossiping in hushed tones, heard by Tang Guantian, who furrowed his brows and asked, ”Is it true you’re the Yang Sect’s son-in-law? Then why come to my Tang Sect? Do you intentionally seek trouble?”

Chu Linfeng laughed, ”I came to wed Tang Li. If you doubt it, ask her—if she sees me, she’ll surely agree to marry, sparing even a competition.”
