Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Everyone quickly kept quiet and threw their eyes at Jiang Yi. He was the no.1 prodigy of the Mt. Spirit Beast College and also the illegitimate son of the Western Garrison Liege Lord. Would he be able to endure such provocations from these two?

Out of everyone’s expectation, Jiang Yi treated them as though the two of them were farting and totally ignored them. He carried on gnawing on the pork shoulder.

Many of the young ladies, including the Sixth Princess Xia Feiyu who was wearing a veil, had this flash of disappointment in their eyes. They originally wanted to see the unparalleled prowess that came from Mt. Spirit Beast College’s no.1 prodigy, who was also the illegitimate son of the Western Garrison Liege Lord. It seemed like he was just a worthless coward.

Who knew—?!

After Jiang Yi cleaned up that pork shoulder—which was the size of a human calf, he took a napkin on the side of the table and wiped his hands before suddenly standing up. He swept his glance across everyone before finally coming to Zhangsun Wuji and Xia Tian’s faces. He laughed lightly. “Young Master Zhangsun and Third Prince! I know that the both of you dislike Jiang Yi. Don’t just stay there and give your frigid irony and scorching satire—or try to make say things that are hard to fathom! If you are unhappy, let’s go out and fight. I shall fight the two of you by myself. How about it?”

Here it was!

A lot of eyes immediately lit up!

The first statement that came out of Jiang Yi’s mouth was so fiery. He immediately challenged the two of them by himself? Xia Tian was already 23 years old. He might just be a hedonistic prince, but by relying on elixirs to cultivate, he was already at the peak stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. He even had many rare artifacts. There wasn’t a need to mention Zhangsun Wuji. He might only be at the sixth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, but he had a tier-two peak-grade Ice Dragon spirit beast.

What kind of commotion did all these young masters and ladies not see before? Normal commotions couldn’t even make them this excited. All of a sudden, Mt. Spirit Beast College’s no.1 prodigy and illegitimate son of the Western Garrison Liege Lord was about to fight with the Third Prince and the Zhangsun Clan’s Young Clan Head!

Such an explosive event was naturally burning the passionate blood in their bodies. There were plenty of people that had doubts. Jiang Yi’s surface strength was just at the ninth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. Was he truly capable enough to fight the two of them?

It wasn’t as everyone expected!

In response to the challenge issued by Jiang Yi, Zhangsun Wuji actually turned silent. Xia Tian, who always had this fiery temperament and flamboyant attitude, was actually silent, too!

The two of them didn’t dare to fight with Jiang Yi?

Yin Clan’s first young master Yin Dao, Taishi Clan’s first young master Taishi Wentian, and Long Clan’s first young master Long Xiaotian—all looked at one another and were amazed. The three of them originally held Jiang Yi in contempt, but now, they looked at him on a whole new level of respect.

The beautiful eyes under the veil of Sixth Princess Xia Feiyu looked at Zhangsun Wuji from afar and revealed this subtle tease. Zhangsun Wuji treated it as though he didn’t see her and remained silent.

“Scared?”

Jiang Yi lifted a cup of wine and gulped it down before sneering, “If you are scared, then don’t chirp off like a bunch of wusses. Such a nice meal had been ruined by the two of you. What a disappointment!”

“You…”

Xia Tian stood up with rage and pointed at Jiang Yi, but he didn’t know how to retort. He finally swept his sleeve and snorted. “This Prince is of esteemed status. I will not make a move against an uncivilized barbarian like you! One or two random individuals are enough to eliminate a trash like you.”

Jiang Yi laughed out from the anger and said indifferently, “I have seen shameless people, but not one like you! Alright… you are going to find someone, right? I, Jiang Yi, am sixteen years of age this year. I don’t need you to find another similar to my age. Go find ten thousand people that are below the age of eighteen. This Young Master will fight one against ten thousand. How about it?”

“Ke-Ke!”

Preposterous, arrogant, mad!

The whole place was in an uproar. They had seen madness, but nothing like this. One against ten thousand?

Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang were giving thumbs-up quietly. They expected Jiang Yi to flip out today, but he had yet to lose any sanity. There were plenty of Purple Mansion Realm martial artists under the age of eighteen in the royal capital, but there truly was none that was at the Soul Travel Realm. Seeing the confidence that Jiang Yi was showing, it meant that Purple Realm martial artists were not a threat to him.

“Okay, just you wait!”

Unaware of the situation, Xia Tian was wild with joy. He shouted out and prepared to go arrange for the fighters. The Crown Prince Xia Wuhui suddenly slammed on the purple-gold stage and bellowed, “Outrageous! Xia Tian, sit down!”

When Xia Tian saw Xia Wuhui’s angered expression, he quickly sobered up. Martial arts were predominant in the Stellarsky Continent, and having a martial arts fight was a common matter in the banquet. If this rumor was to travel, it would be a great topic of discussion. However… if Xia Tian was to go find ten thousand men now—despite the fact that he might not be able to find so many eighteen-year-old martial artists—even if he did manage to do it, this rumor would be a scandal.

Cowering from a challenge and finding ten thousand men instead? If this was known to everyone, the royal clan of the Divine Martial Kingdom would have all their reputation down the drain.

With the Crown Prince interrupting, it was obvious this fight wasn’t going to happen.

The light in the eyes of the many young ladies dimmed, and the Sixth Princess Xia Feiyu found it rather boring, too. Her beautiful eyes turned before she suddenly spoke out, “If Young Master Jiang is so heroic and brave, why not find another Young Master in the grand hall to fight? Why not let me admire the unparalleled prowess of the no.1 prodigy from the Mt. Spirit Beast College?”

There was a lump of fire trapped in Jiang Yi’s heart. The matter with Su Ruoxue had hurt him deeply. He might seem to be fine on the outside, but his heart was actually dripping with blood.

Originally, the raging flame in his heart had been suppressed, but it surged up again due to the provocations from Xia Tian and Zhangsun Wuji. Right now, as he looked at this Sixth Princess who looked like she wished for the whole world to be in chaos, the flames in his heart rose up again. He sneered and said, “Your Royal Highness, how do you want to play?”

Xia Feiyu didn’t have any good relationship with the Third Prince, but he was still her third brother. Right now, Jiang Yi was the one who asked how she wanted to play; she naturally wanted to help Xia Tian take back some of his reputation. Her beautiful eyes looked around before letting out a smile. “Young Master Jiang has a heaven-defying combat strength and is a proud and outstanding hero. Why not let Young Master Wuhen play with you? Whoever wins will be generously rewarded by this Princess.”

“Wuhen?”

Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang’s expressions turned grave. This Young Master Wuhen’s family name was Zhangsun, and he was Zhangsun Wuji’s cousin brother. He was 24 years of age this year; his strength… first stage of Soul Travel Realm!

“Hehe!”

Seated behind Zhangsun Wuji was a young master who was wearing a black robe. He cheerfully stood up and smiled. “Wuhen shall obey Princess’s order. I wonder if Young Master Jiang has the bravery to play a few hands with me. Don’t worry, I will not let there be any blood.”

“It doesn’t matter if there is going to be any blood!”

Jiang Yi glared at him and said indifferently, “Since the Princess wants to see, then Jiang Yi will have to humiliate himself! But can we increase the rewards slightly? Of course… the condition of the match can be altered, too. As long as it is anyone within this grand palace, the Zhangsun Clan can pick out five men. I will fight them all by myself! If they have the capability to hurt or kill me, I, Jiang Yi, will have no complaints!”

“Wow!”

There was a huge commotion. Everyone thought that Jiang Yi must have been crazy!

Fighting against a martial artist at the first stage Soul Travel Realm wasn’t enough; he even wanted to challenge five men? There were plenty of young masters from the Zhangsun Clan today. There might only be Zhangsun Wuhen who was at the first stage of the Soul Travel Realm, but there were at least six or seven of them who were at the peak stage of the Purple Mansion Realm!

“Great! Young Master Jiang is indeed brave!”

Xia Feiyu’s eyes lit up, and this time, she was truly respectful. Jiang Yi had inherited Jiang Bieli’s dominance. Her beautiful eyes were revealing delight as she nodded and said, “Young Master Jiang, if you truly win, you can have any reward you want!”

“I have plenty of artifacts, I have a mass amount of purple gold, and I just learned some martial skill. What should I ask for?”

Jiang Yi muttered softly, seemingly thinking about something. After a moment, he suddenly lifted his head and looked at Xia Feiyu with a burning passion, “If I win—why not let Princess accompany me at the Hidden Dragon Pavilion for one night?”

“Presumptuous!”

“How dare you!”

“This barbarian is truly barbaric!”

Countless young masters stood up and shout while feeling enraged. What kind of status did Xia Feiyu have? To spend a night with him? If this news was to spread out, her reputation would be ruined. How was she going to marry in the future?

“Huh…”

Su Ruoxue, who had been lowering her head and remaining silent, suddenly trembled and had this snow-white expression. She could smell this very dense jealousy. It seemed like Jiang Yi’s heart had been completely broken by her, which caused him to make such an absurd decision. Of course, her heart was also feeling this indescribable discomfort; and her heart was also surging with dense jealousy.

“Yes!”

Finding it impossible to stop now, Xia Feiyu gritted up and shouted out delicately, “If Young Master Jiang can really win all five of them, then you must be the no.1 prodigy in the Divine Martial Kingdom! Don’t even talk about spending the night with you, why don’t I marry you instead?”
