"Young Master!" As soon as Wang Yue came into view, Li Gang looked thrilled, showing off his classic straightforward grin.
Yet Wang Yue picked up on a shift in Li Gang's presence from what it used to be. Earlier, Li Gang came across as straightforward and genuine, but at this moment, a trace of fierceness hung around him.
Wang Yue hadn't anticipated that Zhang Hong could spark such a transformation in Li Gang over merely two days. He found himself inquiring, "Zhang Hong, how did you train Li Gang?"
"It wasn't really intense training. I simply brought him to an underground boxing gym for some fights," Zhang Hong answered honestly.
In the last day and a half, Li Gang had taken part in four bouts, each foe tougher than the one prior.
Naturally, this toughness was only in comparison; truthfully, none of those four rivals truly challenged Li Gang.
While Li Gang's techniques didn't advance a great deal from it, his mental state had been forged in those four clashes. Now, at the very least, he possessed the bravery to battle and the resolve to grow more powerful.
Wang Yue knew about those kinds of underground boxing gyms, though he never imagined Zhang Hong would come up with that approach. He chuckled and remarked, "So Li Gang will end up beating every fighter in that gym, right?"
Zhang Hong let out a sigh and responded, "That's right. The fighters in Jinling's underground boxing gyms are far too feeble. Scarcely any reach the Ningshen Realm level. For Li Gang, it's mostly pointless beyond sharpening his mindset. He'd fare much better in Tianhai."
"What, does Tianhai's underground boxing gym have loads of strong fighters?" Wang Yue questioned.
Zhang Hong gave a nod. "Indeed, plenty of them. Fighters at the Dique Realm and Tianyuan Realm levels show up often, and occasionally even those at the Guizhen Realm level drop by for the excitement. The prizes there go beyond just cash; they include various cultivation resources, including some rare ones. That's why certain powerful fighters dive into the matches personally to claim those items."
"Got it," Wang Yue acknowledged with a nod. Then he faced Li Gang and inquired, "Want to head to Tianhai?"
"Yes!" Li Gang replied with enthusiasm. He'd started to relish the thrill of combat. He found it engaging to decide on striking opponents with more or less force depending on what they warranted.
Still, the rivals in Jinling proved too feeble. Heading somewhere like Tianhai, packed with skilled combatants, would be ideal for him.
That said, Zhang Hong paused uncertainly. "Young Master, even though nobody in Tianhai recognizes Li Gang, his abilities remain insufficient. Plus, he's overly straightforward. Without protection, he could face serious trouble there."
"In that case, you can accompany him and keep safeguarding him," Wang Yue suggested. "I'm set to travel to Tianhai soon anyway. You can join us."
"However, both of us are quite known in Tianhai. Departing Jinling out of the blue isn't..." Zhang Hong trailed off, at a loss for words.
At present, Jinling offered the best spot for his growth.
Why venture to Tianhai when his power hadn't fully developed yet?
Wang Yue brushed aside Zhang Hong's caution and pressed, "If I aimed to wipe out the Tianhai Zhang family, would you back me?"
"Wipe out the Zhang family?" Zhang Hong froze in shock. This young master turned out even bolder than he'd pictured, actually plotting something like that.
"Yes, their existence poses a danger to you and me, along with Jinling's three great families," Wang Yue confirmed with a nod.
"That's why it's smarter to eliminate them quickly. Since you know the Zhang family inside out, your assistance means we can ensure no remnants survive."
"Yet the Zhang family boasts two Degenerate Mortal Realm experts, one reaching the fifth level of that realm," Zhang Hong pointed out.
Though Wang Yue had also attained the Degenerate Mortal Realm, based on Zhang Hong's recollection, he appeared stuck at the second or third level, probably not past the third.
A fifteen-year-old hitting the third level of the Degenerate Mortal Realm could certainly awe an entire city.
However, regardless of one's talent, raw gift alone wouldn't overcome a fifth-level expert in that realm.
Thus, Zhang Hong figured Wang Yue ought to remain in Jinling, boost his cultivation, and tackle the Zhang family only after getting stronger.
"Is that the case? You believe I couldn't take him on?" Wang Yue replied with a sly half-smile, as he unleashed his aura.
An aura remains elusive and enigmatic. The greater one's power, the clearer they perceive it. Weaker cultivators barely detect its existence.
This explained why Li Gang and Wu Li felt little impact, but suddenly Li Gang's complexion drained of color.
What sensation was this? The pressure from this aura surpassed even that of the Zhang family patriarch. That individual had to be at the sixth level, or perhaps the seventh, of the Degenerate Mortal Realm.
Zhang Hong stood dumbfounded, unable to utter a word. How had Wang Yue leaped from the third level to something like the seventh in only two days?
Perhaps he'd concealed his actual prowess earlier, leading to Zhang Hong's miscalculation.
Zhang Hong leaned toward the second explanation. After all, jumping four levels in two days sounded unbelievable, nearly a legendary feat defying mortal limits.
Once assured that Wang Yue truly held the power to topple the Tianhai Zhang family, Zhang Hong started to weigh his proposal with gravity.
After a brief pause, he stated, "The young master's power is more than enough. Still, this requires thoughtful planning. The Zhang family ties into the Warriors Alliance, which safeguards warrior groups. Launching a direct assault on them would surely draw the alliance's punishment. They even harbor experts surpassing the Degenerate Mortal Realm."
"Even if that's true?" Wang Yue countered, his face altering swiftly. In a flash, he became a man in his twenties. Then, in an entirely altered tone, he asked, "Do you know who I am?"
