# Chapter 349: The Agreement
"So arrogant." The crowd's eyes were all fixed on Dapeng Gongzi.
This cultivation tower held symbolic significance for their Heavenly One Academy. Everyone wanted to step into this tower to cultivate, especially the higher levels, which represented honor—the honor belonging to Heavenly One Academy.
Yet Dapeng Gongzi, an outsider, someone from Snow Moon Holy Academy, upon arriving at Heavenly One Academy, did not stand anywhere else but directly stepped onto the top of the cultivation tower. His meaning was self-evident.
He, Chu Zhanpeng, was trampling the entire Heavenly One Academy underfoot, ignoring and humiliating its people. The glory you hold in your hearts is trampled by me. He, Chu Zhanpeng, was one of the Eight Young Masters.
This small detail alone made the crowd glare at Chu Zhanpeng with anger. However, facing one of the Eight Young Masters, what use was anger? Who could deal with him?
Falling Snow Gongzi also stood in the void, his steps treading upon falling snow petals, elegant and powerful, just like Chu Zhanpeng, looking down upon the crowd of Heavenly One Academy.
As for those from Snow Moon Holy Academy, their figures flickered one by one, lining up in a row, gazing coldly at the Heavenly One Academy crowd, looking down on them from above.
"I heard that your Heavenly One Academy has produced a few geniuses, and two have even stepped into the Mysterious Martial Realm."
At this moment, Chu Zhanpeng, standing atop the cultivation tower, slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of mockery.
"Heavenly One Academy has been getting increasingly arrogant outside lately. Today, Falling Snow and I brought disciples from Snow Moon Holy Academy here specifically to seek some pointers and see the formidable strength of Heavenly One Academy's geniuses."
Chu Zhanpeng's gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes filled with arrogance. Geniuses?
Two years ago, he, Chu Zhanpeng, was already one of the Eight Young Masters, a Mysterious Martial Realm expert. He hadn't wasted these two years. With his talent, he, Dapeng Gongzi, had now reached the Third Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. As for Heavenly One Academy, mere Qiong Biluo and the One-Armed Man had only just stepped into the Mysterious Martial Realm. What right did they have to be proud?
And as for Lin Feng, he, Chu Zhanpeng, certainly hadn't forgotten him. In fact, half the reason he came to Heavenly One Academy was for Lin Feng.
He glanced at the Snow Moon Holy Academy crowd on the ground, then his body trembled slightly. Dapeng wings traced through the void, and his figure instantly reached the ground, then soared into the air again, as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had returned to the peak of the cultivation tower, and beside him, there was now one more person—a beautiful young girl.
If Lin Feng were here, he would surely recognize this girl: Lin Qian.
Lin Qian now stood at the peak of the cultivation tower, looking down at the crowd. A feeling of vanity arose from the depths of her heart, as if the pride that Lin Feng had taken from her had reappeared.
Even if her talent was inferior to Lin Feng's, even if Lin Feng was much stronger than her, what did it matter? As long as her man was strong, he could trample Lin Feng underfoot.
"Don't worry, Qianqian. I will fulfill my promise." Chu Zhanpeng said indifferently. As for Lin Feng, if he had the chance, he would definitely kill him.
Back then, when he had stepped into Cloud Sea Sect to demand someone, Lin Feng was nothing but an ant in his eyes, yet he dared to ignore him and show disrespect. He should have been killed long ago.
Now, Lin Feng's cultivation was no longer weak. He was even hailed as a genius by Heavenly One Academy and valued by the Second Prince, Duan Wuya. But he, Chu Zhanpeng, would use Lin Feng to offer a sacrifice to the pride of Dapeng Gongzi.
"Why is no one answering? Is Heavenly One Academy devoid of people?"
Chu Zhanpeng's gaze was filled with sarcasm as he spoke again, causing the Heavenly One Academy crowd below to freeze. They wanted to speak but didn't know how to refute.
One of the Eight Young Masters, Chu Zhanpeng, was indeed not someone they could contend with. If they talked back and angered him, wouldn't that be seeking death?
But at that moment, from afar, figures flickered and approached at incredible speed. Some even walked directly through the void. These people were all teachers of Heavenly One Academy, Mysterious Martial Realm experts who rarely appeared normally. But now, with Snow Moon Holy Academy making such a grand entrance, how could they not show themselves?
Chu Zhanpeng and Falling Snow Gongzi both saw the crowd approaching through the void. Their gazes were calm, without the slightest ripple. They simply didn't care.
"Dapeng Gongzi and Falling Snow Gongzi, what is the meaning of bringing people to my Heavenly One Academy?"
At this moment, a Heavenly One Academy expert stepped forward and spoke to Chu Zhanpeng and Falling Snow Gongzi, who stood atop the cultivation tower.
"Chu has heard that Heavenly One Academy has produced many talents and has long admired it. Today, together with the disciples of the Holy Academy, I have come specifically to experience the majesty and strength of Heavenly One Academy. I hope you all will allow the students of Heavenly One Academy to offer their guidance." Chu Zhanpeng spoke with a half-smile, his meaning clear: today, he had come to challenge and humiliate Heavenly One Academy.
"Snow Moon Holy Academy and Heavenly One Academy are two major academies in the Imperial City. A bit of exchange is perfectly normal. I trust Heavenly One Academy will not refuse."
Falling Snow Gongzi's voice carried a hint of coldness as he also spoke.
The Mysterious Martial Realm expert from Heavenly One Academy frowned deeply. Dapeng Gongzi and Falling Snow Gongzi had both been famous for a long time. Who knew how strong they were now? The two of them alone were probably enough to sweep through all the disciples of Heavenly One Academy.
"How does Dapeng Gongzi and Falling Snow Gongzi wish to offer guidance?"
"Since it's a sparring match between two academies, naturally we should select the same number of people for one-on-one battles. Of course, if Heavenly One Academy prefers a group battle, Snow Moon Holy Academy has no objection either."
Chu Zhanpeng replied.
The Heavenly One Academy Mysterious Martial Realm expert's eyes narrowed. Although Heavenly One Academy had a decent foundation, Snow Moon Holy Academy had not gone through a process of development. Instead, it had directly selected the most outstanding talents from various sects. In terms of student strength, Heavenly One Academy was definitely weaker than Snow Moon Holy Academy. Selecting the same number for one-on-one battles would result in defeat. A group battle would also have no chance of victory.
"If Heavenly One Academy is worried about losing too badly, we can make it even simpler. Just select your academy's strongest geniuses to fight me and Falling Snow."
Chu Zhanpeng said mockingly.
The Heavenly One Academy crowd cursed inwardly. Chu Zhanpeng and Falling Snow Gongzi were both figures among the Eight Young Masters. Who could fight them? Even Qiong Biluo probably couldn't. This kind of battle would still end in defeat.
It seemed there was no possibility of victory for Heavenly One Academy.
"Fine. Let it be so. My Heavenly One Academy will select one or two people to fight you."
That Heavenly One Academy Mysterious Martial Realm expert spoke, surprising the crowd. He had actually chosen this method of combat.
Chu Zhanpeng was also stunned for a moment, then revealed a mocking expression. Wasn't Heavenly One Academy just seeking death?
"But not now." The Mysterious Martial Realm expert added, "I think it won't be long before there is a grand gathering in the Imperial City. You and Falling Snow Gongzi will surely attend. At that time, the people my Heavenly One Academy selects will also go, and they will fight you there."
Chu Zhanpeng's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected the other party to be playing this angle. Indeed, the grand gathering of geniuses in the Imperial City was approaching. As one of the Eight Young Masters, he and Falling Snow Gongzi would naturally attend.
This gathering was one for geniuses. Heavenly One Academy would also select people to go. The other party had chosen that day.
"This is my only condition. Otherwise, Heavenly One Academy refuses to fight." The Heavenly One Academy expert added.
Chu Zhanpeng's eyes flickered. He was silent for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Falling Snow Gongzi. Both smiled and nodded. Being able to display their formidable strength first on that day didn't seem like a bad idea.
"Fine. I agree." Chu Zhanpeng nodded.
"I hope your Heavenly One Academy doesn't pick two useless pieces of trash for us to slaughter. If that happens, Heavenly One will become a laughingstock in the Imperial City."
Chu Zhanpeng mocked, then waved his sleeve. A fierce, domineering wind arose. His Dapeng wings spread, and his figure shot straight into the sky, soaring into the clouds and heading into the distance.
"Let's go." Falling Snow Gongzi said indifferently, his steps treading on snowflakes as if strolling through the air, carefree and elegant.
Seeing the two leave, the other Snow Moon Holy Academy people also departed one after another. Soon, they had all vanished. But their actions today were undoubtedly a form of contempt for Heavenly One Academy, sweeping away its face. Even after they left, Heavenly One Academy's reputation was still damaged.
