Song Xingwen looked at Zhao Yuanlong with a smile on his face. Although he expressed apologies verbally, there was a hint of disdain in his expression.
Zhao Yuanlong stared coldly at Song Xingwen, and after a long silence, he slowly spoke, "In this match, my Song Family concedes. There is no need to continue. If you have no other matters, please leave."
Seeing Zhao Yuanlong concede in front of everyone, Song Xingwen was momentarily taken aback, but then he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, since it has come to this, I will not trouble you any further. However, when the competition comes, I hope you will ask your Zhao Family Disciple to show mercy and not hold a grudge against me for today's events!"
The Zhao Family Disciple below listened to Song Xingwen's words with expressions of anger. Although Song Xingwen was very polite, the sarcasm and disdain in his words were evident to all.
However, thinking about Song Xingwen's strength made the Zhao Family Disciple feel a bit fearful. After all, Song Xingwen's power was truly terrifying; even Zhao Guang, the top talent of the Zhao Family, could not withstand a single blow from him, let alone them.
"The competition will require me to ask my nephew to show mercy!" Zhao Yuanlong said darkly as he looked at Song Xingwen.
He had witnessed Song Xingwen's strength firsthand; with one strike, he had nearly killed Zhao Guang. Such power was something even their family's Elder Six, Zhao Yu, might not be able to handle.
This indicated that Song Xingwen's strength was already subtly surpassing that of a peak expert in the Yang Spirit Second Layer. It was likely that even if he could not directly confront a strong expert at the Yang Po San Chong, he could at least maintain an undefeated status for a short time.
This was also why he did not let Xing Chen engage in a match with Song Xingwen. Although Xing Chen also had the strength to kill experts at the Yang Spirit Second Layer Peak, according to Zhao Yu, the kills were quite hard-won. In contrast, Song Xingwen had almost effortlessly incapacitated Zhao Guang. This level of power made Zhao Yuanlong unsure whether Xing Chen could actually defeat him.
If Xing Chen failed to defeat Song Xingwen and ended up injured or killed instead, their Zhao Family would be left with no hope and might even face retaliation from the powerful forces of Snow Wind Island.
"Ha ha, Uncle Zhao is too polite. Since you do not intend to continue the competition, I will take my leave now," said Song Xingwen courteously. He then led several disciples from the Song Family, who were at the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, away from the Zhao Family, and Zhao Yuanlong and others did not stop them.
"Master, are we really just letting him go? Given time, this child will surely become a great threat to our Zhao Family," said the Grand Elder beside Zhao Yuanlong, watching in the direction where Song Xingwen had left.
"Indeed, Master. The potential of this Song Xingwen is too terrifying; he must have received some sort of inheritance from a powerful being. I think we should send someone to eliminate him!" agreed one of the Five Elders.
The other elders also chimed in supportively. Only the Third Elder was too busy tending to his beloved grandson to participate in this matter; however, judging by his furious expression, his hatred for Song Xingwen surpassed that of everyone else present combined.
"Enough! Stop it! The arrival of Song Xingwen here must have been instigated by someone from his family. If we truly ambush him halfway, what reputation will our Zhao Family have left on Nebula Island?" shouted Zhao Yuanlong, glancing at several elders. He wished he could eliminate this monstrous talent known as Song Xingwen, but if they did so, it would not only ruin their family's reputation but could also provoke an attack from other forces among the Three Major Forces.
After all, Song Xingwen came to challenge openly, while you, Zhao Family, sent strong fighters to secretly ambush him. Such actions are absolutely intolerable to other forces.
“How is it? Are you confident in dealing with this person? If you can kill him, aside from what we previously promised you, Zhao Family will definitely reward you further,” Zhao Yuanlong said, looking at Xing Chen.
“I can't guarantee killing him, but I should be able to defeat him,” Xing Chen replied after pondering for a moment. The strength of Song Xingwen is not something he can easily overcome; even defeating him would come at a significant cost.
“I want him dead. Feel free to make any requests; as long as you can kill that beast, I will agree to any conditions,” before Zhao Yuanlong could speak again, Third Elder was the first to arrive, his gaze fixed intensely on Xing Chen.
“Alright, I will do my best to kill him, but you must guarantee one thing: the strong members of their family will not intervene during the fight, and you must provide me with enough pills or items to recover my Vital Energy. As long as you can meet these two conditions, killing him is not impossible.”
Xing Chen nodded at the fury and killing intent in Third Elder's eyes.
“I can guarantee both of those points. What other conditions do you have?” Third Elder said without hesitation.
At this moment, his hatred for Song Xingwen was driving him nearly insane. The two trivial conditions proposed by Xing Chen were nothing; even if Xing Chen asked him to prepare a top-tier Earth-Level Divine Weapon, Third Elder would certainly go all out to find it.
“Just give me two more bottles of Soul-Condensing Pill, and I have no other requests,” Xing Chen said.
“We can agree to those conditions. Even if you cannot kill Song Xingwen, if you can incapacitate him, I will still give you two additional bottles of Soul-Condensing Pill,” Zhao Yuanlong readily agreed to Xing Chen's terms. Seeing this, the anger in Third Elder's eyes finally calmed down a bit.
“In addition to what the family head has promised you, if you manage to kill Song Xingwen, I will personally reward you handsomely,” Third Elder said, suppressing his anger towards Xing Chen.
“When the competition comes, I will do my best to deal with him,” Xing Chen nodded. He had already witnessed the strength of Song Xingwen, and wanting to incapacitate or even kill him would definitely not be an easy task.
Xing Chen estimated that in terms of the intensity of their martial arts, the move World-Destruction Hand from Song Xingwen could almost completely crush his own martial arts skills. After all, his three forms of Earth-Level Martial Arts could not unleash their full power.
The power of that World-Destruction Hand, however, was executed by him to perfection; its might was certainly comparable to that of higher-tier martial arts.
Under such circumstances, wanting to defeat and kill Song Xingwen, Xing Chen knew he would also have to pay a heavy price.
Xing Chen spent most of his time cultivating and comprehending Martial Arts during these two days, and he made significant progress. He could now stack the Seven Killing Blood Seal six times, just one step away from the pinnacle of Seven Seal Overlap.
The improvement in Ninefold Thunder Palm was even greater; he had reached the level of seven layers of thunder energy. The power that Shattering Star Finger could unleash had also greatly increased during this time.
Although he was still at the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, compared to his previous self, his strength had at least doubled.
"The ranking competition among the four major forces is starting today. With my current strength, I have no problem defeating Song Xingwen from two days ago, but I wonder if he has made significant progress in these two days."
As Xing Chen walked around his courtyard, he thought to himself.
"Brother Xing Chen, today is the day of the ranking competition among the four major forces. I wonder how prepared you are?"
Just as Xing Chen was deep in thought, Zhao Yu's voice came from outside.
"No problem at all; I can set off anytime." After stepping out and glancing at Zhao Yu, Xing Chen replied.
"Great! Then please come with me, Brother Xing Chen. Let's head to Nebula Gate now!" Zhao Yu said with a smile.
Soon, the two arrived at the square where the Zhao Family Disciples were gathered. At this moment, the head of the Zhao Family and the elders were all present, along with several Zhao Family Disciples who had reached the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm. Among them was Zhao Yue, who had previously struck up a conversation with Xing Chen.
"How is it? Brother Xing Chen, do you have confidence in dealing with Song Xingwen?" Zhao Yuanlong asked as soon as he saw Xing Chen and Zhao Yu arrive.
"I can't guarantee killing him, but defeating him and heavily injuring him should be no problem," Xing Chen replied after a brief contemplation.
"Good! As long as you say that, when the time comes, don't hold back. If you have the chance to kill him, just do it. As for the Song Family members, you don't need to worry; we will handle them for you," Zhao Yuanlong nodded in agreement.
"Rest assured, Head of Zhao Family. Since I've taken your things, I will do my best to get this done," Xing Chen said calmly.
Zhao Yuanlong nodded slightly without saying anything further. Then everyone boarded the Ironwing Eagle beast and flew toward Nebula Gate.
The Ironwing Eagle is a type of flying beast, with strength roughly between the Body Refinement Realm and the Soul Refinement Realm. Although its power is not strong, it serves as a good means of transportation.
This is the first time Xing Chen has flown in the air. Although he is riding on a beast, the sensation of flying still brings him a sense of comfort.
The Ironwing Eagle is very fast; it took about an hour for Xing Chen to see a distant mountain shrouded in mist. That place is where the Nebula Gate is located, at Nebula Mountain.
Nebula Mountain is not too large, at least much bigger than the mountain where Xing Chen first appeared on Nebula Island. However, on Nebula Mountain sits the first power of Nebula Island, the Nebula Gate.
For the people of Nebula Island, Nebula Mountain is like an inviolable sacred place.
Soon, the Ironwing Eagle flew into Nebula Mountain and landed in the square of Nebula Gate.
“Haha, I wondered who it was; turns out it's Zhao Family Head! It’s been a while, and Zhao Family Head looks even more impressive than before!” At that moment, a hearty voice suddenly reached everyone's ears. The owner of this voice is Nangong Xingyun, the master of Nebula Gate, a strong figure at Yang Po Sevenfold, and also the strongest on Nebula Island.
