Extraordinary Soldier King in the City-Chapter 708: The Genius Freak (Third Update)
Chapter 708: Chapter 708: The Genius Freak (Third Update)
Chen Feng was startled for a moment, then subconsciously turned around to look behind him.
He saw a young man in his early twenties, quite handsome, wearing a white tracksuit, looking at him with a smiling face.
Chen Feng frowned and asked with curiosity, "May I ask who you are?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Cheng!"
Wang Cheng extended his right hand to Chen Feng with a beaming smile.
As the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face.
Since the other person was so enthusiastic, Chen Feng couldn’t very well be cold, so he politely extended his right hand, shook hands with Wang Cheng, and said with a smile, "Hello, I’m Chen Feng!"
"Brother Chen, you don’t mind if I call you that, do you?"
After the handshake, Wang Cheng looked at Chen Feng and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Feng was also slightly taken aback, this guy’s personality was truly forward!
However, making a friend while traveling could be a good thing.
So Chen Feng didn’t refuse and nodded with a smile, "Of course, I don’t mind!"
"Haha, I knew it! I had a feeling from a distance that Brother Chen was extraordinary, and now that I see you up close, it’s indeed the case!"
Wang Cheng grinned and said.
"Why do you say that, Brother Wang?"
Chen Feng asked with a smile.
"Look, everyone else is trying to cozy up to those with strong abilities, trying to get protection!"
Wang Cheng gestured towards the people around him who were trying to curry favor with the geniuses at Xuan Rank Perfection. Then he looked at Chen Feng with a smile and said, "Only you, Brother Chen, walk around observing, if I’m not mistaken, you are assessing the strength of the contestants, aren’t you?"
Hearing this, Chen Feng was also slightly taken aback, then he chuckled.
Because Wang Cheng was absolutely correct.
Seeing Chen Feng not responding, Wang Cheng knew he had guessed right, laughed out loud, then said to Chen Feng, "That’s why I say you’re different from the others!"
After speaking, Wang Cheng looked around with disdain and continued,
"And look at these people, willing to sacrifice their dignity for a stronger person’s protection just to survive a bit longer in the tournament. But what’s the point of lasting longer under someone else’s protection? It’s meaningless. Rather than doing that, it might be better to give up and go home!"
Wang Cheng’s words were filled with contempt and disdain for those people.
It was clear that he was also a rather proud person, not stooping to associate with sycophants.
"What about you? Your realm is the same as mine, both at Xuan Rank Middle Stage, aren’t you afraid of being eliminated at the very start of the tournament?"
Chen Feng asked with a smile.
"If I’m eliminated, then so be it. With so many people stronger than me, even Earth Rank powerhouses, isn’t it normal for someone of my strength to be eliminated? Besides, my old man at home won’t say anything. I’m here to learn and broaden my horizons!"
Wang Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.
"Okay then!"
Chen Feng touched his nose.
"And you, Brother Chen, do you have any goals for your performance at the Snow Lotus Conference?"
Wang Cheng looked at Chen Feng and asked with a smile.
"Me? Similar to you, I’ll just hang in there as long as I can!"
Chen Feng said with a slight smile.
Of course, he would not tell the whole truth.
He wouldn’t tell Wang Cheng that he was actually aiming for the final reward.
That would undoubtedly not be believed by Wang Cheng.
After all, Chen Feng’s apparent strength was only at Xuan Rank Middle Stage.
If Chen Feng were to say that, it would only make Wang Cheng think Chen Feng was daydreaming.
So, it was better left unsaid.
"Brother Chen, it’s good that you have this mindset. We’re here, after all, to be part of the background. Too high expectations will only lead to greater disappointment. Let those monstrous geniuses fight amongst themselves, and we’ll just enjoy the show!"
Wang Cheng patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, laughing as he spoke.
"Got it!"
Chen Feng smiled and nodded in response.
If it weren’t for the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, he naturally would have had the same thought.
But now it was different; he had to get involved in the struggles of those monstrous talents.
"Brother Chen, I think you’re really my kind of guy. How about we form an alliance at the Snow Lotus Conference? Our strengths are about the same, so it’s not like one of us is just riding on the other’s coattails. It’s a completely reasonable alliance. Are you willing?"
Wang Cheng looked at Chen Feng, asking.
Chen Feng paused upon hearing this.
Truth be told, he had planned to go it alone this time.
However, since Wang Cheng was so proactive and enthusiastic, why not form an alliance?
Having an ally was certainly better than fighting alone.
Besides, Chen Feng felt that although Wang Cheng appeared careless on the surface, his strength must not be as simple as it seemed.
After all, those invited to the Snow Lotus Conference were all talented individuals from various sects and clans.
No one would believe they didn’t have some tricks up their sleeve or a trump card to play.
So with Wang Cheng’s involvement, perhaps their chances of winning might increase.
With this in mind, Chen Feng immediately nodded and said, "Alright!"
"Haha, excellent, it’s settled then. At the Snow Lotus Conference, we advance and retreat together!"
Wang Cheng said with a laugh.
"Understood!"
Chen Feng smiled and nodded.
Then, the two chatted casually for a while.
Chen Feng also wanted to learn more about the Snow Lotus Conference from Wang Cheng.
After all, it was his first time there, and he was in the dark about many things.
This was a good opportunity to seek advice from Wang Cheng.
To this, Wang Cheng was more than happy to share everything he knew with Chen Feng.
Just as they were enjoying their conversation,
suddenly, a commotion arose at the entrance of the inn’s lobby.
At that moment, someone shouted, "Su Can is here!"
Upon hearing this, it immediately caught the attention of everyone at the gathering.
"Su Can? Is that the monstrous talent from Leisurely Sect?"
"That’s right, it’s him. They say his strength has now reached the Earth Rank Early Stage, making him a hot favorite for the championship at this Snow Lotus Conference!"
"It’s terrifying. If I remember correctly, isn’t Su Can only twenty-five years old? To have reached the Earth Rank Early Stage at such an age—his talent can only be described as monstrous!"
The crowd started discussing among themselves.
"Su Can, huh? As expected, he’s come after all!"
Wang Cheng’s smile gradually faded, and a chill flashed in his eyes as he spoke.
Seeing this, Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Brother Wang, do you know this Su Can?"
"More than just knowing him, he’s my main target at this Snow Lotus Conference!"
Wang Cheng dropped the playful façade, clenched his teeth, and with a cold face said,
And the look in his eyes as he spoke of Su Can was filled with hatred.
From this, it was clear that his grudge against Su Can was indeed profound.
"Brother Wang, is there some conflict between you and him?"
Chen Feng looked at Wang Cheng, inquiring.
