Chapter 891 Prodigy King Shuang Fan
In this process, impurities are gradually decreasing.
That is to say, perhaps Ling’er’s blood will one day reach a completely pure state.
At that time, would her blood be exactly the same as Fang Yu’s blood?
Fang Yu knew this was just unreliable speculation.
There must be other differences between their blood.
But to research the specific differences, he would have to consult the old turtle, after all, it was the expert.
Fang Yu handed over the blood collected in the medicine bottle to the old turtle.
The old turtle took the bottle, looked at it, then raised its head to look at Fang Yu and asked, “You’re… fine now?”
“Of course I’m fine,” Fang Yu said.
The old turtle scrutinized Fang Yu suspiciously, with a look of disbelief.
The blood-enhancing potion from earlier should have lasted for several hours.
But how did it wear off so quickly on Fang Yu?
“Don’t overthink it, I expelled the medicinal power from my body,” Fang Yu said.
“…I’ll need several days to provide a comparison of your blood samples,” the old turtle said.
“Fine, then I’ll be going now,” Fang Yu said.
…
For over half a month, North Capital had remained in a relatively peaceful state.
But when the day came for the Heaven Ranking to be updated, the changes in positions that appeared on it caused the martial arts world of North Capital to buzz with discussion again.
“Dragon Slayer, who suddenly topped the ranking last time, has dropped to third place!”
“Xuanyuan Gate’s Sikong Chen has replaced him, currently ranking first on the Heaven Ranking!”
“And Dragon-Cutting Pavilion’s Murong Jian, who previously outranked Sikong Chen, has been surpassed and now ranks second!”
The changes in the top three positions of the Heaven Ranking were always the hottest topic of discussion whenever the ranking was updated.
But this time, Sikong Chen taking the top spot and Dragon Slayer falling to third place was not the most discussed topic.
The most eye-catching point on the updated Heaven Ranking, generating the most discussion, was the fourth place!
The Wang family prodigy, Wang Shuangfan!
It had been many years since any family prodigy had made it into the top five!
Wang Shuangfan had previously remained at sixth place on the Heaven Ranking, sometimes even dropping lower, never having entered the top five.
But this time, he successfully rose into the top five, sitting in fourth position!
For the martial arts world of North Capital, this was explosive news.
In North Capital, topics related to the great families generated far more discussion than those about the major martial arts sects.
The reason for this situation was that North Capital’s martial arts sects tended to keep a low profile, and even prodigies who had long been in the top three of the Heaven Ranking, along with their sects, rarely appeared in public.
Over time, there was less discussion about the major martial arts sects and their prodigies.
“Wang Shuangfan has reached fourth place! I heard this prodigy is only twenty-five years old!”
“So young? Then he has a great chance to top the Heaven Ranking in the future!”
“This is the strength of the Wang family… after all, they are the number one family.”
In an instant, the name Wang Shuangfan resounded throughout North Capital.
…
In the central building of the Wang family estate.
More than twenty branch family heads gathered again for a meeting.
But the atmosphere of this meeting was completely different from the last one.
Everyone’s face, whether genuine or not, wore a smile.
And in the center of the hall stood a young man.
He was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and star-bright eyes, exuding an imposing aura.
He was Wang Shuangfan, the most talented of the Wang family’s younger generation!
His branch was controlled by Wang Mingtong, who was most likely to ascend the Honor Mountain.
Wang Mingtong’s high status was largely due to Wang Shuangfan.
If Wang Shuangfan could truly represent the Wang family and top the Heaven Ranking in the future, then Wang Mingtong would have a chance to ascend the Honor Mountain based on the merit of having cultivated Wang Shuangfan.
“Find a seat for Shuangfan. Today is a commendation meeting, having him stand the whole time makes it seem like an interrogation,” Wang Xinghe said with a smile.
His eyes revealed a hint of jealousy.
How wonderful it would be if Wang Shuangfan had been born in his branch.
“Everyone present is my elder. How could I dare to sit down?” Wang Shuangfan said with a slight bow.
“Shuangfan, other young people might not qualify to sit, but you absolutely do,” said a branch family head beside him.
“Yes, compared to you, the young people from our branches… are simply embarrassing,” another family head sighed.
Various family heads spoke up one after another.
Facing praise and flattery from all sides, Wang Shuangfan remained composed.
Wang Mingtong, who had been quietly observing Wang Shuangfan, nodded slightly, very satisfied with his performance.
Although Wang Shuangfan was not his biological son, he treated Wang Shuangfan better than his own children.
From a young age, Wang Mingtong had poured all the resources available to his branch into Wang Shuangfan.
And Wang Shuangfan had indeed lived up to Wang Mingtong’s expectations, his cultivation advancing rapidly.
Now at twenty-five, he had already reached fourth place on the Heaven Ranking, with great potential to reach the top in the future.
This level of talent was first-rate even in the entire martial arts world of North Capital.
“Actually, I came here today because there’s something I want to seek the opinion of all the family heads about.”
Just as the various branch family heads were praising him, Wang Shuangfan suddenly spoke.
The hall immediately fell silent.
The branch family heads looked at Wang Shuangfan with puzzled expressions.
Generally speaking, since Wang Shuangfan belonged to Wang Mingtong’s branch, he would only need to seek Wang Mingtong’s opinion on matters.
Why would Wang Shuangfan seek the opinion of so many people?
All the family heads looked toward Wang Mingtong.
Wang Mingtong also appeared confused, looking at Wang Shuangfan.
Clearly, he too was unaware that Wang Shuangfan would suddenly bring up such a matter.
“Two days ago when I emerged from seclusion, I heard that Cousin Xiaofeng was severely injured, losing most of his cultivation…” Wang Shuangfan’s tone turned cold as he asked, “I heard that this matter seems to have been dropped?”
Hearing Wang Shuangfan’s words, all the branch family heads present changed expression.
For them, this incident was indeed a humiliation!
In North Capital, it had always been their Wang family bullying others. When had they ever been bullied and not retaliated?
Although the suggestion to cool down this matter was proposed by Wang Mingtong.
At the time, most of them had indeed agreed with this suggestion.
Fang Yu was Huaixu’s person, with strength sufficient to easily defeat twelve Transformation Stage cultivators.
Faced with such level of strength, it was better to avoid trouble.
If they really pursued the matter, it might mean all-out war with Huaixu.
At that time, every branch would suffer significant losses.
Moreover, Wang Xiaofen’s father, Wang Zhishan, seemed unwilling to pursue the matter.
Under these circumstances, the heads of other branches had no reason to stick their necks out.
Now, Wang Shuangfan bringing up this matter again… seemed to want to avenge Wang Xiaofen…
The relationship between these two was indeed close.
But whether to agree… still depended on Wang Mingtong’s opinion.
Wang Shuangfan looked around and noticed all the family heads staring at Wang Mingtong.
So he turned around to face Wang Mingtong directly.
At this moment, Wang Mingtong’s face was somewhat gloomy.
“Uncle, I want to declare war on Fang Yu, to seek justice for my cousin,” Wang Shuangfan lowered his head and requested.
Wang Mingtong looked at Wang Shuangfan in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly.
He knew Wang Shuangfan well and understood that he was determined to avenge Wang Xiaofen.
Otherwise, this matter could have been discussed privately, with no need to bring it up in front of so many family heads.
Wang Shuangfan did this to gain the support of all the family heads, thereby forcing him to agree to this matter.
Wang Mingtong’s eyes flickered, but he remained silent.
Wang Shuangfan kept his head lowered, not raising it.
The other family heads present looked at each other, not knowing which side to support.
“Uncle, please give me a chance to avenge my cousin! I will do my utmost and will not bring shame to the Wang family!” Wang Shuangfan knelt on one knee and saluted again.
Seeing this, all the family heads changed expression.
This kneeling demonstrated Wang Shuangfan’s determination!
The family heads looked toward Wang Mingtong.
At this moment, Wang Mingtong’s expression still revealed little emotion.
“Shuangfan, I support your decision! It’s time to vent our anger!”
“…I also agree. Our Wang family hasn’t taken action for many years, and outsiders now treat us like sick cats…”
“Shuangfan…”
Various family heads spoke up one after another.
Only Wang Zhishan and Wang Hetian exchanged glances, their faces extremely pale.
These two had no desire to provoke Fang Yu again!
