“The compass is rigged.”
Everyone realized that the compass had absorbed Chu Feng’s spirit power.
It turned out, this was all a trap set by Kong Tianhui.
“This is bad.”
Many began to worry for Chu Feng.
After all, they knew Chu Feng’s cultivation hadn’t yet reached the Venerable Realm. His ability to fight Linghu Hongfei to a draw relied entirely on his spirit techniques.
Now, unable to unleash his spirit power, Chu Feng’s combat strength was crippled.
Wait, there was still a chance—his spirit.
After all, Chu Feng’s strongest asset was that spirit.
It was that spirit from the Asura Spirit World that had fought Linghu Hongfei to a stalemate.
But just as people thought Chu Feng still had a glimmer of hope, Kong Tianhui spoke.
“You’re only realizing this now? Too late.”
“This compass is specifically designed to counter world spiritists. Not only can Chu Feng not use his spirit techniques, but he can’t even open his spirit gate.”
“And I know full well that Chu Feng’s claim to the top spot of the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars relies on that spirit from the Asura Spirit World.”
“That spirit is indeed formidable. I’m no match for her.”
“That’s why I lured you onto this compass to fight me.”
“Chu Feng, now do you understand why I said you’d lost the moment you stepped onto the compass?”
“I admit, your talent is impressive, but unfortunately, you lack brains.”
Kong Tianhui looked at Chu Feng, his eyes brimming with smug satisfaction.
“Young Master Kong, isn’t this victory a bit dishonorable?” The Chu Heavenly Clan’s chief was furious.
He had been polite to Kong Tianhui before, but now his tone was far less courteous.
After all, Kong Tianhui had schemed against Chu Feng, the clan’s most cherished member.
“As long as I win, I don’t care about honor,” Kong Tianhui said with a nonchalant expression, infuriatingly dismissive.
At that moment, people realized that while Kong Tianhui had talent, his character was lacking.
He was practically a despicable, shameless villain, with a shamelessness that reached new heights and a thick skin to match.
This Kong Tianhui was not at all what they had imagined a genius from Divine Body Royal City to be.
“Young Master Kong, even if you defeat Chu Feng with this compass, you’re still no match for him. Without the compass, you can’t beat him—you know this yourself. Even if you win today, what’s the point? You’re just deceiving yourself,” Tantai Yinjian said.
This was also what most people were thinking.
But Kong Tianhui remained unfazed, saying, “As long as I defeat Chu Feng, that’s enough.”
Faced with such a Kong Tianhui, people were at a loss. As the saying goes, “The shameless are invincible,” and Kong Tianhui was shamelessness personified.
In this situation, people looked at Chu Feng with sympathy, even heartache.
If Chu Feng had lost because he was truly inferior, so be it.
But to lose like this was truly unfair.
“Hahaha…”
But unexpectedly, Chu Feng suddenly burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Kong Tianhui asked.
“Sorry, Young Master Kong,” Chu Feng said.
“What?” Kong Tianhui was utterly confused by Chu Feng’s words.
“I was pretending earlier,” Chu Feng said.
“Pretending what?” Kong Tianhui’s confusion deepened.
Not just Kong Tianhui, but everyone else was baffled by Chu Feng’s sudden statement.
“Don’t understand? No worries, you’ll get it soon.”
Chu Feng grinned mischievously, then shifted his stance and threw a punch.
Martial power surged like a tidal wave. With a *bang*, the unprepared Kong Tianhui was sent flying, blasted thousands of meters off the compass.
“This aura…”
“First-rank Venerable!!!”
At that moment, not only were the people of the Great Thousand Upper Realm and the Chu Heavenly Clan shocked, but even the Tantai Heavenly Clan and other factions were stunned.
But the most shocked was Kong Tianhui.
“How is this possible? Wasn’t your cultivation in the Martial Immortal Realm?”
Kong Tianhui stood in the distant sky, staring at Chu Feng in disbelief.
“My cultivation was indeed in the Martial Immortal Realm back in the Nine Dragons Upper Realm.”
“To be precise, Seventh-rank Martial Immortal. But… can’t my cultivation improve?” Chu Feng said.
“What nonsense are you spouting?”
“Who do you think you are, improving your cultivation just like that?”
Kong Tianhui’s face turned pale with anger.
He simply didn’t believe Chu Feng could break through from Seventh-rank Martial Immortal to First-rank Venerable in such a short time. It was too brief.
So he thought Chu Feng was mocking him, which fueled his rage.
In fact, not only did he not believe it, but others didn’t either.
As Kong Tianhui said, breaking through so many realms in such a short time was impossible.
Thus, people speculated that Chu Feng had been hiding his cultivation from the start.
But it didn’t matter whether Chu Feng had hidden his cultivation or broken through later.
What mattered was that Chu Feng had just knocked Kong Tianhui off the compass.
In this duel, Chu Feng had won.
This outcome gave people a feeling summed up in four words: immensely satisfying!!!
“Chu Feng, you’re despicable, hiding your cultivation,” Kong Tianhui persisted, still hurling insults at Chu Feng.
But Chu Feng wasn’t angry, just shrugged helplessly. “You don’t believe me, I can’t help it.”
His demeanor screamed, *What can you do about it?*
Seeing Chu Feng like this, Kong Tianhui grew even angrier. He suddenly realized Chu Feng was just as shameless.
“I didn’t expect you to be this shameless. I miscalculated,” Kong Tianhui said, unwilling but forced to face reality—he had lost.
Yet Kong Tianhui’s shamelessness exceeded everyone’s expectations. After a sigh, he suddenly grinned:
“But this is just a draw. After all, I brought out the compass to make a fool of you, and I’ve achieved my goal.”
“A draw?”
“You’re dreaming, aren’t you?” Chu Feng asked.
“Heh… dreaming? Ask yourself, didn’t it feel bad when the compass absorbed your spirit power?” Kong Tianhui asked mockingly.
“It was fine. I was prepared, so it wasn’t a big deal,” Chu Feng said.
“Prepared? What do you mean?” Kong Tianhui looked puzzled.
“I saw through the compass’s trick from the start. I deliberately let it absorb my spirit power,” Chu Feng said.
“Bullshit! Stop making excuses for your carelessness. Do you think everyone’s an idiot who’d believe such nonsense?”
Kong Tianhui not only refused to believe it but looked at Chu Feng as if he were an imbecile, finding Chu Feng’s excuse laughably weak.
But Chu Feng shrugged indifferently. “I don’t need to make excuses.”
“Then tell me, why would you deliberately do that knowing the compass was rigged? Give me a reason,” Kong Tianhui demanded.
“Simple. If I hadn’t done that, how would everyone know what a shameless person you are, Young Master Kong?”
Chu Feng suddenly grinned, his smile sly and cunning.
“Damn it, you played me!” At that moment, Kong Tianhui realized he had been outmaneuvered by Chu Feng.
“Young Master, I’ll take your dog life!”
*Crackle—*
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning surged, tearing through the sky.
It was Kong Tianhui. In his fury, carrying overwhelming killing intent, he charged straight at Chu Feng.
