This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 260 - 32: Proud Son of Heaven

The person was none other than the Helmsman of Zhi Ge General Hospital, Chu Po.

He had a handsome face, and in his youth, he was known as a beautiful man in Datong Prefecture City, elegant and dashing.

But now, his demeanor was excessively grim, damaging that debonair charm.

Ever since the death of his only son, Chu Po had lost his carefree spirit.

Following behind Chu Po was a young man with a sword, who appeared to be a regular Martial Master from Zhi Ge Court.

Being so young and already a regular Martial Master indicated that the man was also a Martial Arts prodigy.

After the two entered the memorial hall, Zhang Zongming and others quickly followed.

They had actually intended to stop Chu Po and his companion from entering, but unfortunately, they failed.

"Are you Zhang Zongyang's youngest daughter?"

After looking at Zhang Zongyang's portrait, Chu Po turned his gaze to Shangguan Xiao and asked.

Shangguan Xiao met Chu Po's eyes but did not answer his question, saying coldly instead,

"If you truly wish to pay your respects, then step forward and bow. If you're here to fight, once we step outside this door, I'm at your service!"

Though she came to pay respects to Zhang Zongyang in her personal capacity today, it didn't mean she would ignore the interests of the Zhang Family.

Protecting the Zhang Family had been her father's most cherished concern and was something she had promised him but had yet to fulfill.

Now, in front of Zhang Zongyang's spirit tablet, she would not yield an inch on anything related to the Zhang Family!

Her words instantly tensed up the atmosphere inside the memorial hall, causing the expressions of the Zhang family members present to vary widely.

Nowadays, Shangguan Xiao was the only one in the Zhang Family who dared to talk to Chu Po like this.

"Ha ha ha ha ha—"

Chu Po burst into loud laughter, his laughter sounding like surging waves, echoing throughout the entire Zhang Mansion!

After his laughter subsided, he glanced at Zhang Zongming and the others and scoffed,

"The Zhang Family really has no one left when they need someone with the surname Shangguan to stand up for them."

These words made the faces of Zhang Zongming and others look extremely unsightly.

"Chu..."

Zhang Zedong stepped forward to speak.

But a single glance from Chu Po, like an invisible heavy hammer, heavily struck Zhang Zedong's mental state, as if he had been hit by Thunder Strike, interrupting what he was about to say.

He grunted, his complexion turning pale.

"Heart Thought Hammer!"

Li Fei narrowed his eyes, the name flashing through his mind.

This was a killer move created by Chu Po combining his Extraordinary Ability.

He possessed an Extraordinary Ability to stimulate a martial artist's Mind Power, acting like an enhanced version of "intimidating by force".

Combining this ability with his own Fist Intent, Chu Po had created the move "Heart Thought Hammer".

This move was akin to Magic but had a stronger effect on martial artists.

With just one look stopping Zhang Zedong from speaking, Chu Po turned his scornful gaze toward Shangguan Xiao:

"The words you just said would have some weight if your senior brother had said them. You, not so much!"

After saying that, without waiting for Shangguan Xiao's response, he immediately added:

"Oh, I forgot. Your senior brother was crippled back then; he's probably a useless person now, too scared to even return to Datong Prefecture City. It seems you can't count on him anymore."

Suddenly—

Shangguan Xiao took a step forward, and a burst of chilling killing intent erupted from her.

Just as she was about to take action, a figure stood in front of her.

It was Li Fei!

Li Fei looked at Chu Po with calm eyes and said, word by word,

"Sir, your words insult my teacher, and I cannot tolerate it."

Chu Po looked at Li Fei with a mocking gaze, "You cannot tolerate it, so what?"

Li Fei raised his hand, pointing at the regular martial master who had entered with Chu Po:

"If I'm not mistaken, you should also be a member of the Chu Family, right?"

The sword-carrying martial master met Li Fei's gaze and said,

"Chu Family, Chu Yu."

He was Chu Po's nephew and the promising youth of the Chu Family.

After the death of his son, Chu Po wholeheartedly trained Chu Yu, hoping he could carry the future of the Chu Family.

Li Fei laughed, using a similarly scornful tone,

"On this occasion, it's one thing for your uncle to swagger in here, but how do you have the guts to follow?"

Chu Yu narrowed his eyes, not waiting to speak, when Li Fei suddenly shouted loudly:

"Besides your uncle, everyone else in the Chu Family is trash. You still have the face to swagger into the Zhang Family?!"

These words wiped the smile off Chu Po's face.

He looked at Li Fei with cold eyes:

"What did you say? Say it again!"

As his words fell, an invisible force instantly struck Li Fei.

Heart Thought Hammer activated again!

This move was formless and imperceptible, striking in a flash, making it nearly impossible to defend against.

For Chu Po to act against such a junior like Li Fei was indeed somewhat disrespectful.

But he was here today not to follow rules but to do whatever pleased him, no matter how domineering.

However, Zhang Zedong, who was at the Peak of the Qi Change Late Stage, had been hit by a "Heart Thought Hammer," causing his mind to shake violently, almost humiliating himself in public.

Li Fei, who had just broken through to the Qi Change Middle Stage, faced the "Heart Thought Hammer" without any change in his expression.

He even took a step forward, staring straight at Chu Po:

"So what if I say it again? I've said it, and your Chu Family must bear it!"

Chu Po watched Li Fei in astonishment, not expecting he could accept his "Heart Thought Hammer" unscathed.

The reason he acted directly was because he had no way to refute Li Fei's words.

Nowadays, Li Fei was acknowledged as a peerless prodigy, and not just in the Chu Family but across the entire Da Lan Dynasty, there were few among the young generation who could compare with him!

"Is this the pride of a peerless prodigy?"

Zhang Zedong watched Li Fei confront Chu Po, feeling incredibly conflicted.

He was almost sixty years old this year, having practiced martial arts for fifty years, and was still just a Refining Strength martial master.

Meanwhile, Li Fei, who had practiced martial arts for less than two years, was already a Refining Strength martial master.

When compared to what Li Fei called "trash", Zhang Zedong was definitely among them.

Not just Zhang Zedong, the young generation of the Zhang family present, everyone was red-faced with embarrassment!

Even though they knew Li Fei wasn't speaking about them, they still felt as if:

I'm not targeting anyone specific, but everyone present is trash...

However, Li Fei hadn't finished speaking.

He continued without waiting for Chu Po to speak:

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

"In five more years, let alone the rest of the Chu Family, even you will be trash in my eyes!"

"..."

The entire mourning hall fell silent.

Even Shangguan Xiao was shocked by Li Fei's words.

Saying the rest of the Chu Family was trash was one thing, but Chu Po was a long-established martial master at the Tao Foundation Stage, someone who had a chance of advancing to a Martial Arts Master.

Such a man, and yet Li Fei dared to call him trash?!

"Very well, very well!"

Chu Po laughed out of sheer anger, his gaze at Li Fei filled with murderous intent.

"Uncle!"

Standing behind Chu Po the whole time, Chu Yu finally couldn't restrain himself and took a step forward, saying to Chu Po:

"This man has insulted our Chu Family, I cannot bear it, please allow me to fight him!"

He too was a former student of Wuda, having graduated after six years and entered the Zhi Ge General Hospital. He now possessed the cultivation of the Qi Change Late Stage.

At Wuda, he received the best education.

After graduating, he had been consistently guided by Chu Po.

Although his talent was not comparable to a prodigy like Li Fei, his realm was currently higher than Li Fei's and with his rich combat experience, he was confident he would not lose to someone who had just advanced to the Qi Change Middle Stage a few days ago.

In his view, Li Fei might not even have mastered how to maneuver his force, so how could he win against him?

Chu Po glanced at his nephew who asked for battle, not rushing to agree with him.

He turned to Li Fei:

"Considering our ties to Wuda, I can spare your life despite your insult to me as the Helmsman. But if you wish to stand up for the Zhang family today, it won't be that simple!"

He was not as hot-headed as the young Chu Yu.

The purpose of his visit today was to trample the Zhang family. Fighting an outsider like Li Fei, even winning, what loss could it cause the Zhang Family?

Thus, he would not easily agree to this battle.

"Does the Helmsman mean to add a wager?"

Li Fei asked with a smile.

Then, without waiting for Chu Po to speak, he continued on his own:

"How about this, besides you, if anyone from the Chu Family today can knock me down, from here on out I will join your Chu Family as a Guest!"

This statement caused an uproar at the scene.

"Younger sister!"

Zhang Zedong couldn't help but call out to Shangguan Xiao, trying to get her to stop Li Fei quickly.

But Shangguan Xiao remained unmoved, her face even displaying a smile, quietly watching Li Fei perform.

In the entire Chu Family, only Chu Po was at the Tao Foundation Stage, and there was no second person at that stage, including the Guest Elders.

With such a situation, what was there for Shangguan Xiao to worry about?

She even felt a bit sympathetic towards Chu Po, for the opponent didn't realize what kind of monster he had provoked!

"Join our Chu Family as a Guest from here on out?"

Chu Po stared intently into Li Fei's eyes,

Even with his profundity, he was tempted by these words.

Now Li Fei clearly wanted to help his aunt, and Shangguan Xiao would not sit idly by regarding the Zhang Family.

With such a transcendent prodigy lending a hand, the Zhang family might actually have a chance to struggle on.

If he could make Li Fei a Guest, not to speak of the future, at least for now, it could sever the last lifeline of the Zhang family!

"Yes, if I lose, I will join your Chu Family as a Guest from here on out."

Li Fei said loudly, "But today, if you guys lose, what then?"

Chu Po smiled, "What would you wish?"

"Then please let the Helmsman bring the entire Chu Family to guard the spirit here for three days!"

Li Fei pointed at the portrait of Zhang Zongyang behind him.

Shangguan Xiao shivered, and everyone from the Zhang family was deeply moved!

What does the Zhang family lack the most now?

Is it money? Is it resources?

Neither.

What the Zhang Family lacks most now is prestige.

If the entire Chu Family, their arch-rivals, came to guard Zhang Zongyang's spirit for three days, when news of this spread, the prestige the Zhang Family had lost in recent days could at least recover by a great deal!

Those who were eagerly severing ties with the Zhang Family, or kicking them when they were down, would have to reassess.

Chu Po became silent.

He was weighing the pros and cons, assessing Li Fei's mettle, considering the chances of success in this matter.

"Uncle, let me fight him! I can definitely win!"

Chu Yu was already impatient.

"..."

Chu Po was silent for a moment and finally made up his mind.

With words spoken to this extent, if he dared not accept, the prestige of the Chu Family would also greatly diminish.

Moreover, what Li Fei had said was that any member of the Chu Family defeating him today would suffice.

This meant that they could wear him down with successive fighters!

Chu Po then looked at Li Fei and said sternly:

"Change the venue."

Li Fei's face broke into a smile:

"Alright!"
