Chapter 893 The Whole City’s Attention!
The next day, at one thirty in the afternoon.
Wanhe Manor, fighting arena.
The Wang family’s fighting venue was built in front of the core building complex, covering about a hundred acres.
Besides the fighting platform of nearly a thousand square meters, there were tiered spectator steps surrounding it, with no seats provided.
Those who came to watch could only stand on the steps, though the view was excellent.
Even without seats, the spectators standing on the steps still had the look of country bumpkins visiting a grand mansion for the first time.
This… was the Wang family estate!
Normally, these people would never have the opportunity to enter Wanhe Manor and witness the interior of the Wang family residence.
It was today’s duel that gave them this chance to visit the interior of Northern Capital’s number one martial arts family!
Never mind the lack of seats – even if they had to squat to watch, they wouldn’t utter a single complaint!
Though there was still half an hour before the agreed time for the duel, the spectator steps were already crowded, almost completely filled.
For today’s match, the Wang family had allowed one thousand people to enter and watch – first come, first served. Those who arrived late would not be able to enter Wanhe Manor.
At one o’clock, when Wanhe Manor opened its gates, a large crowd had already been waiting outside and rushed in.
A significant portion of the spectators came from various prominent families, sent with the mission to assess the current level of strength of the Wang family’s number one prodigy, Wang Shuangfan.
As for the other spectators, they were purely there to watch the excitement.
For many, this confrontation was not just a contest between Wang Shuangfan and Fang Yu, but represented the forces behind them… the Wang family versus the Martial Arts Association controlled by Huaixu.
Both were extremely powerful forces in the Northern Capital. Although the Martial Arts Association had recently suffered heavy losses, its influence remained.
Therefore, many people were anticipating… if Fang Yu truly defeated Wang Shuangfan, or if Wang Shuangfan defeated Fang Yu, what would the forces behind them do next?
…
Around the fighting platform stood a circle of guards dressed in white, gold, and black silk.
These elite guards emanated a sharp, imposing aura, extremely formidable!
Just looking at them once would make one’s heart tremble with fear!
Everyone knew that these guards must be the elite forces arranged by the Wang family!
Of course, if these guards were merely standing beside the fighting platform to maintain order, no one would question it.
But considering that one of the combatants on the platform was also from the Wang family… it seemed rather questionable.
The Wang family setting the duel location at their own fighting arena was already not a fair arrangement.
However, since Fang Yu, as the opponent, hadn’t raised any objections, the other spectators present certainly wouldn’t speak up.
Standing on the first tier of steps closest to the fighting platform were the core members of the Wang family.
The heads of various branches and the talented youths from those branches had all arrived to watch this focal confrontation.
For them, since this duel had become known throughout the city, they could only accept victory and not defeat!
The outcome of this battle represented the dignity and reputation of the Wang family!
If they could win, it would mean that the Wang family could henceforth bypass the obstacle of the Martial Arts Association and do whatever they wanted!
This was also the reason why many family heads supported Wang Shuangfan’s declaration of war against Fang Yu!
Regarding the outcome of this battle, many family heads maintained an extremely confident attitude.
Because they had prepared everything.
Wang Mingtong stood in the middle position of the first tier of steps, staring fixedly at the figure meditating on the fighting platform, his face expressionless.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhishan and Wang Hetian, standing in the corner, were extremely nervous, with sweat on their foreheads.
They were truly caught between a rock and a hard place.
On one hand, they hoped Fang Yu would be defeated, so that the curse mark inside their bodies would be removed.
But on the other hand, they feared that Fang Yu might demand their help when he was about to be defeated… or that before his defeat, he might detonate the curse mark inside them, ending their lives…
…
Wang Shuangfan was meditating in the center of the fighting platform.
A faint blue true energy emanated from his body, with an imposing aura.
“So this is Wang Shuangfan! The talented son of a family who for the first time in years has pushed down sect prodigies to enter the top five of the Heaven Ranking!”
The spectators observed Wang Shuangfan, continuously expressing their admiration.
Even just sitting there meditating, revealing a hint of his aura, they could already feel his power!
It’s worth noting that Wang Shuangfan was only twenty-five years old!
His future was truly limitless!
“Not only is his talent formidable, but he’s also so handsome… I wish I had a chance to meet him.”
Many women displayed infatuated expressions.
“The Wang family is truly the Wang family, their foundation is too strong… the time they take to cultivate geniuses is at least twice as fast as other families!”
“In this aspect, among the eight major families, the other seven are far inferior to the Wang family!”
“That’s the truth! Look at the so-called second family, the Lin family. After all these years, the only prodigy they have to show is still Lin Zhenshu.”
On the spectator stands, discussions arose.
Among the crowd, Qi Ruoqing, with her face veiled, felt very nervous.
Despite her father’s strict prohibition, she had still sneaked out from home to come to the Wang family and watch this focal battle.
The aura emanating from Wang Shuangfan made her feel waves of shock.
So strong… it felt like he was already at the same level as her father.
Fang Yu’s opponent… was this person.
“Mr. Fang Yu… you must win.” Qi Ruoqing bit her red lips lightly, saying in her heart.
…
At one fifty, a girl who looked to be in her teens pushed a wheelchair to the front of the fighting platform.
Sitting in the wheelchair was Wang Xiaofeng, who had been severely injured previously!
“Brother, Brother Shuangfan is up there. Do you want me to call him for you?” Wang Xiaodan asked.
Wang Xiaofeng’s complexion was still unhealthy, but he replied, “Yes, I want to say a few words to him.”
At this moment, the core members of the Wang family on the first tier of the spectator stands all noticed Wang Xiaofeng’s arrival.
This made their expressions darken.
Yesterday, during their meeting, they had already ordered that Wang Xiaofeng be prohibited from attending.
Because there were too many people present, they didn’t want outsiders to see the miserable state of the Wang family’s prodigy.
But unexpectedly, Wang Xiaofeng had still come. And he was approaching the fighting platform under everyone’s gaze!
Wang Zhishan’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately wanted to jump down to stop them.
Wang Xiaofeng was his biological son, and Wang Xiaodan was his biological daughter.
The brother and sister had violated the rules, and as their father, he had to take responsibility!
But at this moment, Wang Mingtong’s voice entered his ear.
“Let it be. Since they’re here, let them be.”
Wang Zhishan’s expression froze, and he abandoned the idea of stopping them.
At this time, the spectators on the stands also noticed the figure sitting in the wheelchair.
“That person is… Wang Xiaofeng?”
“Yes! It’s Wang Xiaofeng! Previously, he was considered one of the top three prodigies in the Wang family, but now he’s been reduced to this state…”
“Sitting in a wheelchair, it seems he hasn’t recovered yet. No wonder the Wang family is so angry… in the past, who would dare to bully their family’s prodigies…”
On the spectator stands, another round of discussions arose.
…
On the fighting platform, Wang Shuangfan seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes, standing up.
With a light leap, he stood at the edge of the fighting platform, then jumped down to stand in front of Wang Xiaofeng.
Wang Xiaofeng looked at Wang Shuangfan, a smile appearing on his pale face, and said, “Shuangfan, I heard you requested this battle for me in front of the family elders… I appreciate it.”
Wang Shuangfan crouched down, shook his head, and said, “Cousin, this is what I should do. Years ago when I was bullied, you would also risk punishment to stand up for me. Now, it’s my turn to do the same to repay you.”
Wang Xiaofeng raised his stiff hand, patted Wang Shuangfan’s shoulder, his eyes slightly reddened, and said, “Shuangfan, I’m grateful that you would do this for me.”
“You are much more outstanding than me… but you still need to be very cautious… Fang Yu is an extremely powerful opponent.”
Wang Shuangfan nodded and replied, “Don’t worry, cousin. Today, I will definitely seek justice for you in front of everyone!”
“As for Fang Yu, as long as he shows up, he shouldn’t think about leaving easily!”
“He must pay a heavy price!”
“Brother Shuangfan, go for it, we all believe in you,” Wang Xiaodan said from behind.
“Mm, push cousin to a safe position.” Wang Shuangfan reached out his hand, rubbed Wang Xiaodan’s head, and leaped back onto the fighting platform.
Wang Xiaodan then pushed Wang Xiaofeng, turning toward the spectator stands behind them.
