On the day of the competition, Su Changfeng arrived at the venue to find himself the center of attention. Despite the admiration and cheers from the crowd, he remained focused, much to his mother Ji Hong's surprise. As Su Changfeng prepared for his match, he noticed the arrival of Wu Chen and his young disciple Wang Tianhu, recognizing them as his opponents.

But when Ji Hong saw Su Changfeng’s expression as he looked at Wang Tianhu, it was still a matter that made Ji Hong quite worried.

So Ji Hong continued, "That Wang Tianhu, do you know him?"

"No, but in the future, we will be very close buddies," Su Changfeng said, smiling as he looked at Wang Tianhu.

Buddies!

Only after hearing this did Ji Hong finally relax completely. As long as Su Changfeng didn’t say this person was his future partner, nothing else mattered.

Su Changfeng now had no idea what Ji Hong was thinking. If he really knew, he might feel quite helpless.

Meanwhile, at this time, another person Su Changfeng was acquainted with appeared in the crowd.

Even though this person now dressed very plainly and had no company beside him.

It was as if no one in the crowd would notice him, yet Su Changfeng recognized him. This person was Shangguan Sichen.

It was clear that Shangguan Sichen appeared here precisely to see what kind of performance Su Changfeng would deliver in the competition.

Shangguan Sichen likely had no idea he had already been noticed by Su Changfeng.

As the Shangguan Family Head, Shangguan Sichen always emphasized protecting his identity, and in this world.

Only people from the Shangguan Family knew what he looked like; there were barely any others who knew him.

Su Changfeng said to Ji Hong, "Shangguan Sichen is here too."

Ji Hong had always heard Su Changfeng talk about how formidable Shangguan Sichen was, so naturally, Ji Hong felt very curious about such an impressive presence.

Thus, upon hearing Su Changfeng’s words, Ji Hong immediately curiously asked, "Really, where is he?"

"No worries, after this competition is fully over, he will definitely come to find me directly. You can see what he looks like then," Su Changfeng said.

Ji Hong nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

In another ten minutes or so, the competition was likely to start, and nearly everyone had already arrived at their seats.

The various prominent families and individuals were all present here, and even Shangguan Sichen himself was present, which showed how important this competition truly was.

After all, everyone knew that this match was intentionally aimed at Su Changfeng.

Therefore, Su Changfeng’s opponent must be exceptionally skilled, and the crowd was very curious whether Su Changfeng would once again impress everyone.

Naturally, some people here actually knew who Wu Chen was and how formidable Wu Chen truly was, so their curiosity about this competition was even greater.

Wu Chen had previously been a very formidable figure in this circle, a figure truly unbeaten in battles.

Seeing so many people, Wang Tianhu suddenly said to Wu Chen, "Master, there are really so many here. Will you lose this time?"

Wu Chen, hearing this, gave Wang Tianhu a smack on the head and said helplessly, "Just watch closely and see how impressive your master truly is!"

For Wang Tianhu, his master was certainly very formidable, but Wang Tianhu said this only to stir Wu Chen up a little.

After all, before coming down the mountain, Wu Chen always had Wang Tianhu training, and there were often times Wang Tianhu couldn’t even find a way to eat.

So Wang Tianhu only said these words now to provoke Wu Chen lightly.

The competition was about to start.

Su Changfeng stepped directly onto the stage, and upon seeing Su Changfeng emerge, the female fans below started screaming again.

Such a scene made Su Changfeng feel very helpless; he really disliked these women screaming in his ear, making him feel very annoyed.

Most people present actually didn’t think highly of Su Changfeng, even though he had defeated Yan Bingfeng, because Yan Bingfeng wasn’t truly a formidable figure.

Not to mention, Su Changfeng’s opponent was on a completely different level from Yan Bingfeng; it was Wu Chen, someone who was previously considered unbeatable!

"I wonder who got Wu Chen to participate in this competition; this is probably going to be a tight spot for Su Changfeng!"

"Wu Chen has no reason to participate in this competition, but somehow they managed to invite him, which suggests the person’s status is quite impressive."

"..."

Clearly, Wu Chen was here because of Su Changfeng, and if Su Changfeng were defeated by Wu Chen, Wu Chen wouldn’t continue competing.

Thus, for others, this situation might have certain benefits.

Because of this, even though everyone knew the match was very unfair, no one stood up to oppose it.

After all, everyone hoped Su Changfeng would be defeated by this person so that the competition could continue in the future.

"Will Su Changfeng defeat this person?"

Seated among the spectators, Zhou Wang was present too. Previously during Su Changfeng’s matches, Zhou Wang had stayed at home.

But upon finding out Su Changfeng’s opponent was Wu Chen, he couldn’t stay home anymore, so he was present to watch the match.

Zhou Wang had initially been very curious about this matter, let alone the fact that the previous Wu Chen couldn’t be compared to the current Wu Chen.

After Wu Chen’s long retirement, his skills certainly would have improved significantly, so Zhou Wang really had no idea what the match result would be.

He uttered lightly, "I don’t know what the result of this match will be, but ultimately, we’ll just have to watch and see."

"Su Changfeng’s previous performances were enough to astonish and delight me, and I think this time will be no different."

On the other side, Shangguan Feihong, seeing all this, was certainly eagerly hoping Wu Chen could defeat Su Changfeng!

Since only this could prove that her previous actions were not in vain!
