Chapter 95

The applause lasted for a while before the middle-aged beauty finally got up and approached Zhan Yi. She bowed slightly and said, "Zhan classmate, no, Mr. Zhan, I didn't know you were a transcendent master. I was presumptuous as an elder, and I was indeed disrespectful to you."

Zhan Yi was still enjoying the applause when he heard the woman's words and couldn't help but be stunned. The change was too drastic. Just because he took Hu Jun's punch, he became a transcendent master? However, he didn't want everyone here to be overly polite to him. After all, he was just here to help out, and he wasn't sure if he could provide much assistance.

So, after hearing the woman's words, he laughed heartily and said, "Grandma, please don't say that. In fact, I am a classmate of Meier, and I should address you as an elder. Moreover, I am not a transcendent master; I am a genuine college student."

"Really? But how could you have such advanced cultivation?" The woman seemed to still have some doubts.

"Ah... In the path of cultivation, although hard work is important, some people have natural talent and can make rapid progress in a short time. I am one of those naturally talented people," Zhan Yi sighed lightly.

"Oh, I see. No wonder Meier said you are different. Since that's the case, I won't hide it from you, Mr. Zhan. We want to invite you to help us deal with a group of formidable enemies..." The woman then explained the whole situation to Zhan Yi.

It turned out that their fox clan was called the Red Fox Clan. They left the mountains to find the ancient fox clan's lost treasure, the 'True Blood of the Fox Clan.' With the True Blood, fox cultivators could not only increase their cultivation speed but also transcend their demon bodies and become true cultivators.

However, because of the True Blood, the Red Fox Clan and another clan, the Black Fox Clan, became rivals. Both sides believed they were the legitimate descendants of the ancient fox clan, so even though they hadn't found the True Blood, they often had conflicts over this matter.

Originally, both sides were evenly matched. Although they often fought, neither side suffered significant losses. But recently, the Black Fox Clan had somehow hired three mysterious experts who had launched several attacks on them, killing two of their experts. They also issued a challenge, demanding a decisive battle that night and declaring that the losing side would serve the winning side as slaves.

This was quite common in the cultivation world, but the key was that the other side had received help from these mysterious experts, significantly increasing their strength. Therefore, they had no confidence in defeating the other side, which was why they were trying to come up with a plan. Hu Meier immediately thought of Zhan Yi.

After hearing the woman's explanation, Zhan Yi's expression became serious. He knew that he would be facing those three mysterious experts. Given how these experts were so feared, they couldn't be simple. Thinking about this, Zhan Yi looked at the woman and asked, "Grandma, do you know the realms of the three experts on the other side?"

"Um... Two of them should be at the Void Condensation realm, and one at the Golden Core realm," the woman said uncertainly.

"Grandma, we will fight them tonight. I'll go and bring two more helpers. We will definitely help you win," Zhan Yi said confidently. He knew that with these three experts, he alone wouldn't stand a chance, but with Mo Lin and Lu Hu's help, plus the soft armor and the Demon Binding Silk he had, it would be hard to lose.

"Alright, then I will thank Mr. Zhan on behalf of our Red Fox Clan." The woman, seeing Zhan Yi's confident demeanor, felt much more at ease. She believed that as long as Zhan Yi took action, everything would be resolved. Now that he was going to bring more helpers, how could they possibly fail?

The others' attitude towards Zhan Yi also changed dramatically. In the cultivation world, strength was paramount, whether it was humans, demons, or gods. After witnessing Zhan Yi's incredible skills, they already regarded him as a prodigious expert.

Especially Hu Meier's parents, who, when seeing Zhan Yi off, kept holding his hand and saying, "Mr. Zhan, you and Meier are friends now. If you need anything in the future, don't hesitate to ask."

Zhan Yi smiled bitterly and then bid farewell to everyone to find Mo Lin and Lu Hu. After explaining the situation to them, Mo Lin and Lu Hu were overjoyed. They thought that while the school was a good place to flirt with girls, there were few opportunities to fight. So, they were eager to take on this challenge.

Seeing that the two agreed, Zhan Yi quickly had them prepare their battle gear and headed straight for Hu Meier's villa. When they arrived, dinner was already prepared. The woman explained the details of the battle while everyone ate.

It turned out that both sides had agreed to meet at Ten Mile Slope in the outskirts of N City at midnight. The battle would consist of five rounds, with the first two being one-on-one matches between experts. The third round would be a three-on-three, the fourth a four-on-four, and the fifth a five-on-five. The first to win three rounds would be the victor. Both sides could use any means, and there were no limits on the number of times a person could participate.

After explaining, the woman confirmed the participants on their side. This was not a game; losing meant becoming slaves and being at the mercy of the other side, so they needed to be well-prepared.

The first person she confirmed was Zhan Yi. After discussing with him, Zhan Yi naturally brought Mo Lin and Lu Hu along. He then assessed the energy levels of the other candidates provided by the woman and finally decided on the participants.

Everyone had no objections. After eating and resting for a bit, they all headed to Ten Mile Slope in the outskirts.

It was midnight, and the moon was bright with few stars in the sky. A group of people was already waiting for them at Ten Mile Slope. However, when Zhan Yi arrived, he focused his senses and detected energy fluctuations in the nearby grass.

This made him uneasy. This could only mean one thing: the other side had more people hiding in ambush, and there were at least twenty to thirty of them.

He wanted to tell the leading woman, but after some thought, he held back. He knew that the battle was about to start, and if he told everyone about this now, it would only cause panic and affect their performance in the battle.

Zhan Yi was secretly planning how to deal with the hidden enemies, while the woman in front had already started talking to the other side.

"Hehe, Hu Sanlang, you are indeed trustworthy. You are right on time," said a woman who seemed to be the leader of the other side. She had a slender and extremely alluring figure.

"Ha, Hu Chunli, you arrived quite early. It seems you can't wait," the middle-aged beauty replied without backing down.
