Chapter 1726 1229: Even I Can't Help Wanting to Hit Him
"Gu Tianle is really bold, how does he dare?"
"Is something wrong with his brain? What benefit could he possibly get from offending the core disciple of Divine Profound Hall?"
"Exactly, for a mere 200 billion Divine Crystals, even if he's lucky enough to enter Divine Profound Hall in the future, he's definitely going to be targeted by Senior Wan Ning. It's really not a wise move."
"Asking for the money back is one thing, but what does he mean by his last sentence? He's clearly trying to embarrass the senior."
"I figured it out, he wants to use humiliating the senior to boost his own fortune. If he succeeds, it could indeed lead to a massive fortune, but it's too risky. Although those superpowers cannot kill, they have many ways to make you suffer endlessly."
...
"Kid, I don't know what you're planning, but if you think you can leverage my influence to increase your fortune, you're simply dreaming!" Wan Ning's expression gradually turned sinister as he regarded Zhang Menglong. It was the first time he had been disgraced by a junior in such a public setting, and if he didn't teach Zhang Menglong a lesson today, he feared becoming a laughingstock in Divine Profound Hall.
"Senior, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all," Zhang Menglong continued sarcastically, "I'm just humbly seeking your guidance. I'm often out of place because I speak too bluntly, but I really want to fit in."
"Also, there's another question, did Senior accidentally short me 200 billion Divine Crystals just now? Wasn't it intentional?"
Zhang Menglong threw out another series of questions.
Truth be told, he didn't care about offending anyone, nor did he care about joining any superpower; where there are people, there is a world. Even though Divine Profound Hall is the strongest among these forces, the others surely have their way of survival too, and even if he can't join any, so what?
But he would never indulge others. Why should he give away the trillion he worked so hard to earn? If he felt like it, he'd rather toss it to a beggar on the street, but underhanded tactics are out of the question.
"I've seen many people, but you're the first one who's so unafraid of death!" Zhang Menglong's machine-gun mouth finally pushed Wan Ning to the brink, "Although I can't kill you, giving you a little punishment is not a problem."
A raging pressure radiated from Wan Ning, coming at Zhang Menglong like a mountain.
An ordinary Divine Cultivator First-grade's aura can make a horde of Divine Breath Ninth-grade martial artists stand uneasy, and weaker martial artists might be directly crushed by such force!
Moreover, Wan Ning was no ordinary Divine Cultivator Third-grade; even a regular Fifth-grade Divine Cultivator might not be his opponent, his presence was terrifying!
Instantly, Zhang Menglong felt as if his body was thrown into a gravity chamber, each bone and cell in his body growing extremely heavy, this weight threatened to bring his body to the brink of collapse.
"Crack!" The ground beneath Zhang Menglong's feet split open, his legs slowly sinking as if into a swamp.
"Kneel!" Wan Ning snorted coldly, and that pressure suddenly doubled!
"Using pressure alone to force me to kneel?" Zhang Menglong sneered coldly as the blood of the Destruction Demon Dragon surged within him. As a king among dragon species, it naturally carried an invisible pressure, and wherever it passed, all creatures would bow; once the bloodline awakened, even Warcraft might be scared witless!
That dragon might formed an invisible protective layer around Zhang Menglong, his body stood firm like a massive ship in a storm, unmoved by the raging waves!
"Is this the pressure of a core disciple from a superpower? It's terrifying!"
"If I were under this force, I'd probably be crushed to death."
"Gu Tianle is indeed impressive, able to stand amidst the senior's pressure; he's only at Third-grade Spiritual Body, if he were a Sixth-grade Spiritual Body, he'd likely have no opponent in this super sect selection."
"Isn't there a possibility he has no opponent now?" someone suggested, "Even the top ten from the Heavenly Prides ranking list might not withstand the aura emanating from Senior Wan Ning."
"Can't believe it doesn't crush him?" Wan Ning's face showed a hint of surprise. He had used almost half of his pressure, logically speaking, even if it didn't kill Zhang Menglong, it should at least weaken his stance, but Zhang Menglong seemed very relaxed.
"Senior, are you using your aura to train my willpower?" Zhang Menglong's mouth started firing again, "But it seems like it's not enough, you might want to add more intensity."
"Tough-mouthed guy!" Wan Ning secretly clenched his fist, unleashing full power, channeling all his aura into a massive energy towards Zhang Menglong.
"Crack!" The ground seemed to crack further, but Zhang Menglong remained unmoved; the aura could suppress him but couldn't harm him.
Zhang Menglong raised his head, a deafening dragon roar erupted from his throat, the sound wave materialized into a Destruction Demon Dragon figure, shattering Wan Ning's condensed aura pressure!
"Impossible!" Wan Ning had always regarded Zhang Menglong highly, but he never expected Zhang Menglong to be so powerful. His full pressure, even a Divine Breath Peak martial artist would bleed heavily, but Zhang Menglong shattered it with a roar, challenging his worldview.
He had to believe, in this world, there are geniuses, prodigies, and monsters!
"If I don't teach him a lesson today, I'll lose face!" First being verbally humiliated by Zhang Menglong, then failing to intimidate him with aura; if he walked away now, he'd be disgracing not only himself but Divine Profound Hall too.
"Gu Tianle," Wan Ning glared at Zhang Menglong, "I don't want to trouble you, kneel and apologize now, and I may still give you a chance."
"What opportunity?" Zhang Menglong asked, "Senior, did I do something wrong? I know I'm handsome and not too eloquent, but if my looks offend any taboo, you should tell me directly."
"Hahaha!"
"He really is something."
"If this continues, even I'll want to hit him."
"Senior Wan Ning must be furious, not afraid of fools or madmen, just those pretending to be dumb."
"What does he rely on that he dares provoke a senior from Divine Profound Hall?"
Zhang Menglong's confidence left everyone curious, how does he dare?
"Fine," Wan Ning sneered, "I shouldn't be dealing with a junior, but your insolence and insult to Divine Profound Sect compel me to give you an unforgettable lesson today! Consider this a sightseeing tour!"
Wan Ning formed a seal with one hand, unleashing a martial skill that only core disciples from Divine Profound Hall could learn. Of course, he held back a little since killing him would be seriously troublesome.
But dealing him half-dead was entirely within his power!
"This brat really has some skills!" The palm strength shattered Zhang Menglong's dragon might instantly, given the massive difference in their realms, relying solely on Gu Xiao's current body, Zhang Menglong was definitely not Wan Ning's opponent, but he didn't want to reveal his true form yet.
He discreetly prepared 2000 pieces of Fifth-grade Divine Crystals to summon a puppet.
However, just then, a slightly worn voice came from another direction.
"Wan Ning, fighting against a child taking the test, you've surely regressed!"
