Chapter Seventy-Three: Phoenix and Qilin

  Zhao Tiezhu shocked!

  Zhao Tiezhu felt that from the top 20 to fifth place on the Dragon List, he had the strength to win a standoff. Fourth place on the Dragon List was barely within his ability to withstand for a while. Third place could instantly kill him! As for the number one spot, Zhao Tiezhu couldn't find any way to resist that finger's power! This wasn't just about physical strength, but also a gap in mental state! This was a realm of martial arts; if he compared his own realm to that of a child, then Chen Daoling would be like a middle-aged man, and Langya's realm would be like that of an immortal.

  Tonight's battle was deeply imprinted on Zhao Tiezhu's heart, and his original self-satisfaction instantly turned into nothingness. The figure that no one could match in conversation and laughter kept waving in his mind and couldn't be driven away.

  "Langya wins." The old man with the white beard spoke in a slightly softer tone, after all, Langya was truly the third on the Dragon List, and his strength surpassed his own by a notch, worthy of respect. "Chen Daoling, go to the capital to receive your prize." Chen Daoling's face showed no signs of defeat or loss, calmly nodding his head, walking away, pulling out his sword, and stepping down from the stage.

  "Langya, are you going to challenge the second place on the Dragon List?" The old man with a white beard asked solemnly.

  "I'm not going to challenge that freak, I already fought her a few days ago and she's even more twisted than before, so I forfeit. And this time she didn't show up either, I knew it." Langya winked at the white-haired old man. The white-haired old man sighed, indeed the second place on the Dragon List hadn't shown up, when they contacted her, she only said that she would fight Langya first and by then Langya wouldn't dare to challenge her.

  At the same time, on West Lake, a handsome middle-aged man was staring at the bright moon in the sky. At this moment, a beautiful woman in white appeared beside him. The middle-aged man sighed and said: "This time you really won't go, Feng Huang?"

  "She won't go." The woman, called Feng Huang, stood shoulder to shoulder with the middle-aged man and said, "Langya can't beat me, I can't beat you, it's pointless to go." Feng Huang smiled faintly, gently brushing her long hair behind her ear, revealing a hint of charm that left the middle-aged man beside her bewildered.

  "Have you really decided to follow him like that? The favor they owe you, you've already cleared after saving him last time." The middle-aged man quickly returned to normal and said in a low voice.

  "He's still too weak now." The phoenix thought of that somewhat lewd and somewhat lustful figure, and couldn't help but reveal a smile: "When he can beat you one day, I'll leave."

  "Who's he?" The middle-aged man was taken aback, "You have so much confidence in him?"

  "Yes." The Phoenix nodded and said softly: "His potential, I understand it best."

  "I hope you're right." The middle-aged man sighed and turned to walk away into the distance.

  "If he ever comes to challenge me one day, I won't show any mercy. Hope you don't hate me." A voice came as the middle-aged man disappeared.

  "Are you waiting for him to challenge you? Qilin, are you telling me that you won't stop his growth now?" Fenghuang smiled and shook her head, "He will make you, all of you, surprised."

  A gentle breeze blew by, and the phoenix's figure vanished into the vastness of heaven and earth.

  The scene returns to the Golden Sky Underground Boxing Arena, where Langya nods at Zhou Gangchuan in the audience after finishing speaking, then looks at Zhao Tiezhu on the side with a shocked face and says: "You are Zhao Tiezhu, right?"

  "Yes, it's me." Zhao Tiezhu secretly became alert.

  "Don't be so nervous." Langya seemed to have seen through Zhao Tiezhu's thoughts, and smiled: "I heard someone mention your name in the capital, when I enter the capital one day, you can go to the Forbidden City to find me."

  After finishing speaking, Langya slowly walked down from the stage and left.

  "This...". Zhao Tiezhu furrowed his brow, the Forbidden City, wasn't that where emperors used to live in ancient times? Now aren't they all tourist areas? Could it be that someone still lives in the Forbidden City? And listening to Langya's words, it seems like there are people in the capital who know me, but it appears that among the people he knows, there aren't any particularly formidable masters.

  But the old man with a white beard was shining with both eyes, took a look at Zhao Tiezhu, and directly announced the end of this Dragon List battle.

  Zhao Tiezhu's brain was almost dead from thinking, but he still couldn't figure out a reason, so he decided not to think about it anymore. Anyway, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge head. He turned his head and asked Lei Zi: "Why didn't this Langya get any prize?"

  "With a master like him, any country would directly give in, what's the point of having prizes?" Lei Zi sighed, what a pity today, didn't get to see the top two on the Dragon List, and the third place is already so formidable, really can't imagine what kind of masters the top two are.

  Zhou Gangchuan took the speech prepared by Guo Qingtian and said a few words to the people on the Dragon List, nothing more than practicing martial arts well and serving the country. After finishing speaking, this large group of people directly got up and left the underground boxing arena.

  Liu Xingfu walked up to Zhao Tiezhu and said, "Tiezhu brother, I'm also heading back to HZ tomorrow. If you have time, come visit me in HZ. Remember what I just said, when facing a master, there's no need to be overly humble. Being arrogant has its own advantages, especially when you enter the capital one day, you must pay attention."

  "Thanks, Big Brother Liu." Zhao Tiezhu nodded his head.

  "Ha, it's a great day with beautiful scenery, why don't we three go find a place to have some fun?"

  "This, I'd better not. At home, the river is raging, and my younger brother dare not." Zhao Tiezhu found an excuse to refuse, thinking of what Mu Tianzun said, being taken by Liu Xingfu to play, and finding a 40-year-old vulgar woman like Ruhua, Zhao Tiezhu felt a chill.

  "Alright then, if you're going to HZ, be sure to contact me, I'll take you guys to have some fun." Liu Xingfu said with a sly smile, and then bid farewell with a bow.

  The Dragon List masters are indeed more arrogant than the Tiger List, Zhao Tiezhu's strength has been heard by all of them, and just now they also heard Langya personally inviting him, but no one took the initiative to come up and greet the two, only Chen Daoling came up to say hello, and left immediately.

  Zhao Tiezhu and Lei Zi ignored Guo Qingtian's persuasion, left Jinse Tian Di and found a place to drink casually. This time, no one got drunk, but in the middle of it, Linda sent a text message.

  "What's going on?"

  "Let's have a drink." Zhao Tiezhu replied.

  "Have you thought of your teacher?"

  Yes.

  "What does the teacher want?"

  "You think what I think."

  "I'm alone in bed now."

  "Alright, I'll go."

  "Haha, you pervert, I'm going to sleep now, we still have class tomorrow, you should go to bed early too."

  Zhao Tiezhu didn't come back again, and continued drinking beer with Lei Zigang. Not long after, Linda's message came again.

  "Are you also going to say goodnight and goodbye to me?"

  "Love to sleep but can't sleep."

  "Go die."

  "... safe"

  "Good boy."

  Just as the two were texting, Lei Zi received a call. After hanging up, Lei Zi said to Zhao Tiezhu: "Tiezhu brother, my grandfather wants you to come to my house for dinner tomorrow night, there's something."

  Zhao Tiezhu nodded slightly and didn't ask anything, but vaguely felt that this matter should be very important to himself.
