Chapter 1481 — Ancient Families
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
His name was domineering enough, but he had the wherewithal to match it. With him joining them, Zhao Qilei was confident that he and Yu Shan would pass the Ice Palace trial smoothly this time!
"That's not quite it either. There are other disciples of ancient sects and ancient families taking part in the trial; I'm not the only one." Feng Nitian said this, yet there was not the slightest humility in his expression—clearly he had accepted Yu Shan's flattery with pleasure. "Still, we're all of that ancient tier, so people will more or less give us some face!"
"Yes, yes!" Yu Shan said, unwilling to be outdone. "Brother Nitian's face counts for far more than ours. To have Brother Nitian join our team—this little brother is truly blessed!"
"This time, if anyone won't submit, Brother Nitian can just use his Heaven-Defying Art to finish them off!" When Zhao Qilei spoke of the "Heaven-Defying Art," he was prostrate with admiration—the Heaven-Defying Art was practically a heaven-defying existence!
Earlier, Feng Nitian had only briefly displayed a bit of his skill, and Zhao Qilei, Zhao Qiwu, and Yu Shan had submitted. Otherwise, even if Feng Nitian came from the ancient Feng family, there would have been no need for Zhao Qilei and the others to fawn on him so; they were not people of the same tier—respect was fine, but such excessive toadying was unnecessary!
The other party was merely a junior come to take part in the trial; there was no way he could win any benefit for their respective families. So their behavior was entirely the result of being overawed! The tier of ancient sects and ancient families was truly formidable!
Compared with hidden families, they were simply not on the same level at all!
The so-called Heaven-Defying Art was indeed heaven-defying! The mental cultivation method Feng Nitian practiced was most bizarre: it could create a small domain around himself, and anyone within that domain could not move their body at all. The range was rather small, and the time it could restrain someone was very brief as well—Feng Nitian had cultivated it to the third layer of great perfection, and even so he could only hold someone in place for about three minutes, with an effective distance of only about three meters. But that was already enough!
Just imagine: even a top-tier expert, once locked in place and unable to move, was no different from sitting there waiting for death. So Feng Nitian's mental cultivation method was utterly heaven-defying! Of course, in the Feng family, apart from the Feng family's Old Ancestor, he was the only one who had mastered this wondrous method!
This mental cultivation method had many requirements, beyond the reach of ordinary people. And so Feng Nitian naturally received exceptional attention within the family. This time he had come here for training—and beyond training, he meant to make a name for himself. If he passed the trial smoothly, it would make his reputation in the Feng family ring out all the louder, preparing the way for him to become the young family head.
And once Feng Nitian became the young family head, the position of family head for this generation would naturally fall into his father's hands, and his eldest uncle, who currently held the advantage in the competition, would be eliminated outright!
Of course, even if Feng Nitian did not take part in this trial, with the Feng family Old Ancestor's deep affection for him and his own cultivation, he could still become the young family head—only, without any presentable achievements, the process would be very slow. And Feng Nitian did not want to wait any longer; the more he looked at his eldest uncle and his own simple, honest brother, the more they grated on him!
