Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1222 - 1207: Ascended to Legend

"Qingluan, why are you so infatuated with a wanderer?"

Kunpeng didn’t seem in a hurry to get rid of Song Yun but stood about five meters opposite Qingluan and asked.

"He is a wanderer, but also a child." Qingluan’s face showed an indescribable smile as she looked at the groggy Song Yun and said, "And I just like him."

Kunpeng was about to speak.

Suddenly.

Kunpeng moved a step to the side.

Bam.

A fist!

Slammed directly into the position Kunpeng was at before.

Boom.

The entire ground caved in with a massive indentation, and cracks spread outward from the depression! One can imagine just how powerful that punch was.

"Hmph, child’s play."

Kunpeng snorted coldly, moved slightly another small step, then opened his hand and pressed it toward the owner of the fist.

At this moment.

A withered, coffee-colored hand reached over from the side and grabbed Kunpeng’s hand.

Kunpeng’s face changed slightly, his arm suddenly exerted force, and the hand grabbing Kunpeng’s hand was shaken off immediately. Then, Kunpeng swiftly retreated three steps.

A fist swept past right under Kunpeng’s nose.

Kunpeng retreated three more steps.

The owner of the fist did not pursue but stood still.

This person looked quite bizarre.

The person’s skin was coffee-colored, the upper body was bare, with many strange tattoos, and the earlobes were quite large with many holes. The whole person gave off an impression like someone from a non-mainstream culture.

Of course, this person couldn’t be non-mainstream.

"You... why are you here?" Kunpeng looked slightly wary at the person who resembled someone from a non-mainstream group.

That person clasped hands together, lifted one foot, placed it on the other leg, and did a sitting motion. The strange thing was, there was no chair beneath them, yet they sat stably like that.

"I came to take a look."

The person smiled and said, "Kunpeng, you are stronger than before."

"Hmph."

Kunpeng snorted coldly and said, "When you’re free, shouldn’t you be by the Clan Leader of the Rothschild Family? What are you doing here?"

"Our young master asked me to see if his toy was still intact." The person said with a smile, looked at Song Yun in Qingluan’s hands, and said, "Luckily, we came in time, the young master’s toy hasn’t been destroyed."

"Are you here to protect Song Yun?" Kunpeng asked with a frown.

"It’s our young master who wants to protect him," the person said.

Qingluan looked at Kunpeng, then at the person who appeared later, and said, "I need to take Song Yun to the hospital. I’ll leave this to you. Po Suo Shijia."

The non-mainstream-looking man was actually the bodyguard of the Rothschild Family’s Clan Leader, Po Suo Shijia, also a top ten master on the War God List.

Po Suo Shijia nodded with a smile and said, "Go on, quickly heal Song Yun so the young master can be happy! With me here, Kunpeng won’t make a move."

"Thank you!"

Qingluan nodded, held Song Yun, and left the rooftop.

Kunpeng squinted at Po Suo Shijia and said, "Are you really planning to intervene in this matter?"

"Kunpeng, I heard you entered the realm of legends."

Po Suo Shijia smiled warmly while looking at Kunpeng and said, "I didn’t expect you to get there ahead of us."

"Hmph." Kunpeng snorted coldly and said, "Haven’t you also entered the legend? You’re just quietly staying at the tail end of the top ten. Do you think someone ranked around tenth on the War God List can stop me?"

"Hehe, Song Yun, our young master wants you. After he’s done having his fun, you can come back if you have any thoughts. Otherwise, you’d be outright opposing our Rothschild Family," Po Suo Shijia said.

Kunpeng snorted coldly, "As soon as Song Yun dares to enter the capital, I will definitely kill him!"

After speaking, Kunpeng turned and left directly.

After Kunpeng’s silhouette disappeared into the night, Po Suo Shijia twisted his neck, looked at Kunpeng’s departing back, and muttered, "I’d love to fight Kunpeng, but these guys, the higher they climb, the more cautious they get about going all-out in a fight, how boring. Hmph, legend, Kunpeng, I thought by becoming a legend I could surpass you, but I didn’t expect you to get there too. This is news worth noting."

In the Martial World, there is a rumor that the War God List represents the pinnacle of human individual power. But is there something beyond the War God List? Some say, above the War God List, lies the legend.

For instance, Elder Wang.

Those who have reached the extreme in a certain aspect are worthy of being called the legend.

Of course, it doesn’t only refer to martial arts; someone may achieve a legendary level by excelling in another field, such as dancing or cooking.

It’s merely a testament, a proof of achieving something extraordinary in one area. That’s all.

Of course, achieving legend status through combat power is simple: it’s about earning the acknowledgment of a martial arts master, like Elder Wang.

Even those on the War God List might not earn Elder Wang’s recognition, because your combat power may be strong, but if you haven’t reached the ultimate level in a certain aspect, like power or skill, you won’t be recognized as a legend by Elder Wang.

Legend is an honor and the most compelling proof of one’s abilities.

Kunpeng achieving legend status was personally acknowledged by a master within the Red Wall. As for whether Kunpeng reached the pinnacle in skill or some other aspect, it’s unknown.

And although Po Suo Shijia is around the top ten on the War God List, he has similarly been recognized by an extraordinary figure in a certain field, making him legend-level as well.

Just like someone winning an Oscar for Best Actor can be called an emperor of film, representing the highest recognition in the field of acting.

This is similar to the definition of legend, so although legend sounds impressive, it’s more of a reputation; of course, you still need the ability to earn this reputation.

The title of emperor of film is an honor, but out of all the people worldwide, only a few can truly achieve it.

Legend is also just an honor, but only a handful of people can truly be recognized.

Qingluan brought Song Yun to the hospital, and as for what happened next at the Money Group’s headquarters, Qingluan didn’t ask.

Song Yun underwent a series of resuscitations after being taken to the hospital. Naturally, through Qingluan, the hospital also obtained some high-level secretive medicines.

Song Yun’s body was severely injured, but these medicines were akin to a cheat.
