Chapter 154 - 154 0162 Do You Know How to Write the Word
?Chapter 154: Chapter 0162: Do You Know How to Write the Word ‘Death’? Chapter 154: Chapter 0162: Do You Know How to Write the Word ‘Death’? “Uncle, please specify when the duel will take place. It would be unacceptable if you were to delay for a year and a half.” Despite having been held in check by Xiao Xiaowu’s aura, thus inducing a sense of dread in him, Chen Wenbo still found it impossible to completely suppress his fiery temper and show respect to Xiao Xiaowu as if he were truly his elder.
Xiao Xiaowu waved his hand and said, “The duel will take place in half a month’s time.”
On hearing he only needed to wait half a month, Chen Wenbo said no more. After all, waiting for half a month had its advantages. They could use this time to intensively train Gao Han, further enhancing his combat abilities. Additionally, they could send correspondence to the Guardian National Master Manor during this period to gauge their reaction.
Not long after Xiao Ge led Chen Wenbo and his companions away, Chu Yang hurried over. Unlike Qi Tian, who simply bowed to greet him, Chu Yang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Xiaowu. “Greetings, Mansion Master. I wonder what instruction you want to give,” he said.
Xiao Xiaowu said, “Chu Yang, our Imperial Master Mansion has several Half-step Foundation Establishments as well as several practitioners at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level Peak. Among these individuals, you are the strongest. I have a dilemma here, the Guardian National Master Manor intends to wrestle with us for the position of County Master. I intend to choose you to contest with them, are you willing? Please think carefully before answering. If you can secure the position, you will have to take up the post. In other words, you will need to stoop to the role of a County Master, would you be willing to do so?”
In the history of Imperial Master Mansion, the Qi Cultivation Period practitioners were usually stationed as County Masters. Although Chu Yang was a Half-step Foundation Establishment practitioner, he was still technically in the Qi Cultivation Period. However, since he was on the cusp of breaking into the Foundation Establishment Stage, his status was not the same as ordinary practitioners in the Qi Cultivation Period. He belonged to the group who would inevitably break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in their lifetime. Such people were more than likely to receive preferential treatment in the Imperial Master Mansion, for instance, they could stay within its protection until the breakthrough. If a post like being stationed as a county master, which normally does not have many perks and even involves some risks, is offered, such an opportunity generally would not fall onto them.
In comparison, Chu Yang, who was the cream of the crop amongst the Half-step Foundation Establishment practitioners, was even less likely to be chosen for such an assignment. But as the Guardian National Master Manor was now trying to claim Lubei County’s position, this challenge directly threatened the dignity of the Imperial Master Mansion and the prestige of Xiao Xiaowu himself. Hence, it was necessary to breach some norms, even at the cost of sacrificing the future of a Half-step Foundation Establishment brother.
As this was a duel, Xiao Xiaowu naturally didn’t wish to lose. In order to avoid losing, he could only send Chu Yang, who was the strongest Half-step Foundation Establishment practitioner, to fight against Gao Han, another Half-step Foundation Establishment practitioner. He hoped that Chu Yang could defeat Gao Han, thus truly living up to the title of “the Most Powerful Half-step Foundation Establishment” and restore the dignity of the Imperial Master Mansion.
