Even if he had told them, it wouldn't have mattered. Chu had plenty of people who bullied him when he was a kid; they wouldn't even remember him anymore...
Chu Huanzhao was about to ask more questions when she heard her father's voice reminding her to calm down. So she gripped the Howling Whip tightly in her hand. Just then, the official announced the start, and with a flick of her wrist, the Howling Whip unleashed a sonic boom as it lashed out at the other party.
Chu Chuyan nodded secretly. Although her younger sister's cultivation level was not high, she had been wielding the Howling Whip everywhere over the years... bullying men and women everywhere, so her skill with the whip was quite good.
Yuan Wenji, however, was prepared. He dodged with a flip and then charged straight at his opponent. When dealing with a long weapon like a whip, close combat was the natural choice.
Chu Huanzhao had already been reminded by his father, and he retreated step by step, always maintaining the distance between the two of them.
Yuan Wenji dodged and weaved, but he couldn't avoid one of the whips and was accidentally struck on the arm.
"Awoo~"
Yuan Wendong jumped up in pain; the pain was unbearable. He could feel someone scraping his bones with an awl.
The Chu family members were overjoyed, as they all knew the power of the Howling Whip. If they were hit by a few more lashes, there would be no point in fighting; the enemy would faint from the pain.
Hearing his father's reminder, Chu continued to wave his whip without stopping, unleashing a series of whip strikes at his opponent.
"Do you think I'm really unprepared?" Suddenly, Yuan Wendong took out a shield from behind his back. At first glance, it didn't look very big, but no one knew how he operated it. In no time, it turned into a shield as tall as himself and stood in front of him.
Chu Zhongtian sat up straight and muttered to himself, "No wonder the quality of the weapons made by the Yuan family has improved so much. It seems they have indeed found a powerful rune master."
This shield must also be the work of a runemaster, as it can freely shrink and fold.
At this moment, Chu Huanzhao was in immediate danger. No matter how skilled she was with her whip, her opponent remained unchanged and used a shield to protect himself, then approached her step by step, leaving Chu with no way to stop him.
Qin Wanru nervously grabbed her husband's hand: "It seems like the other party was prepared in advance."
Chu Zhongtian nodded with a stern face: "That's right. We suspected it before, and now we've confirmed that there really is a traitor in the Chu family who leaked our order of appearance, which is why the other side can target us like this at every turn, even having a countermeasure for Xiao Zhao's Howling Whip."
"Who is it?!" Qin Wanru looked towards her own camp, her heart filled with suspicion, as everyone looked very similar.
“Let’s go back and investigate slowly,” Chu Zhongtian closed his eyes and sighed deeply. “We’re doomed today, but it’s for the best, so that we can be fully awakened.”
“But the price is too high,” Qin Wanru knew the impact of losing the weapons market on the Chu family. “Why don’t we let Xiao Zhao hold on a little longer? Maybe there will be a turning point.”
Chu Zhongtian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. After all, he didn't want the Chu family to monopolize the weapons market for hundreds of years.
At this moment, on the arena, Yuan Wenji had closed enough distance. Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he rolled forward close to the ground, quickly closing the distance to within three feet of his opponent.
Chu Huanzhao was shocked and hurriedly threw a punch, but her cultivation was inferior to her opponent's, and she couldn't use one hand because she was holding a whip. How could she be a match for her opponent?
His left hand was quickly grabbed by the opponent, and then his Yuan power suddenly erupted!
Chu Huanzhao screamed in pain as his left hand dislocated.
Chu Zhongtian was shocked and immediately stood up: "We concede this round!"
Just as he was speaking, Yuan Wenji had already unleashed a powerful punch, filled with years of accumulated resentment, and struck Chu Huanzhao heavily in the abdomen.
puff!
Chu coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
Chu Zhongtian caught his daughter in a flash and hurriedly treated her injuries, having no time to worry about anything else.
A group of people surrounded her, and Zu An couldn't squeeze in, so he turned around and looked coldly at Yuan Wenji: "We have already admitted defeat, why did you still hit us so hard?"
Yuan Wenji was already feeling a bit guilty, and intimidated by his imposing manner, he stammered and couldn't say a word for a moment.
At this moment, Yuan Wendong spoke up from the other side: "It's not your fault that you, an ordinary person, don't know about battles between cultivators. Battles between cultivators often end with the outcome hanging by a thread. Besides, you just witnessed Miss Chu's prowess in defeating a sixth-rank expert, so perhaps the Second Miss also has some trump card skills she hasn't used yet. It's normal that my cousin lost his composure in his worry. Who knew the Second Miss Chu would be so incompetent? Sigh, she's far inferior to her sister."
At this moment, Yuan Wenji also came to his senses: "That's right, I was just too eager to win and I was so engrossed in the game that I didn't hear Mingyue admit defeat."
"Didn't you hear me?" Chu Zhongtian laughed in exasperation. By now he was certain that his second daughter was not in any danger. He looked up at the figure on the arena and said, "Are you questioning why you can't even hear my voice, given my eighth-rank cultivation?"
An inexplicable aura spread out, and Yuan Wenji swallowed hard, trembling all over, and unconsciously took a step back.
“Eighth rank is quite impressive,” Wu Wei said, appearing in front of him without his noticing. “The younger generation should handle their own affairs. What do you mean by bullying a junior?”
