Very few people in the Wilderness Outer World know about the existence of the Inner Wilderness, while most of the people from the Inner Wilderness are aware of the Wilderness Outer World. As for the Wilderness Outer World, many from the Inner Wilderness hold it in disdain, knowing the weakness of the Martial Artists from that world.
At this moment, when the Fengg and Yun Elders of the Jian Family learned that they were defeated by a young Martial Artist from the Wilderness Outer World, their old faces turned even more red-hot.
Just as if they had been slapped in the face, it seemed as though that slap resounded even more loudly.
Looking at the faces of these people before him, Shi Feng naturally knew what they were thinking at that moment. He spoke to them, "A hero does not inquire about origins. What's wrong? Do you look down on people from the Wilderness Outer World?"
"A hero does not inquire about origins!" Upon hearing this, Jian Yu, the Family Head of the Jian Family, nodded with a smile, saying, "No doubt it is true."
Jian Yu has always held this belief.
Just like their Jian Family Ancestor, who was said to have emerged from a remote village in ancient times as merely a young boy.
Later on, relying on his talent and extraordinary fortune, he eventually founded the illustrious Jian Family, which ruled an era.
Just like when Jian Yu first met Shi Feng, he secretly believed in his heart that a supreme genius does not necessarily have to come from their Five Major Factions.
Now, however, he didn't expect that the young man who consecutively defeated the Fengg and Yun Elders turned out to be from the Wilderness Outer World.
At this juncture, Jian Ran spoke to Jian Yu, "Father, in that martial arts competition, I want him to battle for our Jian Family! His talent and battle power, you must have just witnessed!"
"That martial arts competition!"
Upon hearing Jian Ran mention "that martial arts competition," the expressions of the three present from the Jian Family shifted yet again, their gazes once more focusing on that person.
At this moment, even Elder Fengg of the Fengg and Yun Elders' eyes gleamed, opening his mouth to speak to Jian Yu:
"Though his Martial Arts Realm is at the Nine-star Demigod, his combat technique is powerful, able to swallow even the combined strength of me and Elder Yun! If this person is willing to participate in that Martial Arts Battle for our Jian Family, he is certainly an excellent choice!"
Following this, the other Elder Yun nodded, saying, "Yes! Though this person is arrogant, one cannot deny that he has a solid foundation to be arrogant."
Although the two elders suffered humiliation, they understand the significance of that martial arts competition for the Jian Family, and for the moment, they have set aside their grievances.
"Would you be willing to battle for my Jian Family?" Jian Yu asked, addressing Shi Feng ahead.
"As long as you're willing to fulfill my demands, I can battle for you," Shi Feng replied directly.
"Demands?"
Upon hearing the word "demands," the group once again turned their eyes to Jian Ran, waiting to hear her answer.
Jian Ran told Jian Yu, "I talked with him about that martial arts competition; he laid out two demands to me. If he wins the competition, first, our Jian Family must send an expert to lead him through the passage to the Divine Battle Continent. Second, give him six True God Battle Artifacts!"
"Lead him to the Divine Battle Continent!"
"Give him six True God Battle Artifacts!"
Upon hearing the two demands from Jian Ran, the Fengg and Yun Elders were taken aback and exclaimed.
Whether it's the Divine Battle Continent or six True God Battle Artifacts, both are things that could leave them stunned.
The entire Jian Family possesses only eight True God Battle Artifacts, yet he wants six in one go.
But Jian Yu seemed to have thought nothing of it and decisively told Shi Feng, "If you truly win this competition, I will fulfill these two demands immediately!"
Six True God Battle Artifacts are important, but relative to that martial arts competition, they paled in significance!
Jian Yu's promise was so straightforward; it indicates that the competition and its rewards are indeed extraordinary!
Among the younger generation of the Jian Family, there are supreme geniuses, but the competition rules state that participants must be under the age of twenty.
Currently, three geniuses in the Jian Family aged twenty and under are in the same Martial Arts Realm as Shi Feng, at Nine-star Demigods! But they are clear, although the three are talented with demon-like abilities, if facing True God Experts like the Fengg and Yun Elders, defeat is inevitable.
None of them would be like this demon before their eyes, making even the Fengg and Yun Elders suffer losses.
"Alright!" Seeing Jian Yu agree so readily, Shi Feng responded with an "Alright," thus settling the matter.
At that moment, Shi Feng's thoughts moved.
"Ah!" All of a sudden, Jian Ran shivered, an involuntary moan escaping her lips.
The mark that Shi Feng had forcefully imposed in her body was now destroyed in his thoughts.
Since he had reached a verbal agreement with the Jian Family, the mark was now redundant.
Upon hearing Jian Ran's moan, Jian Yu immediately furrowed his brow, looking at his daughter, and asking, "What's wrong, Ran'er?"
At this moment, even the Fengg and Yun Elders looked at Jian Ran with peculiar expressions.
Because the moan she just emitted… it sounded somewhat suggestive...
"Nothing… nothing…" Responding to her father's inquiry, Jian Ran replied promptly.
While she responded, two rosy hues appeared on her fair and delicate face, and she had already realized that the sound she just made was quite strange...
Answering her father Jian Yu, Jian Ran cast a resentful look at Shi Feng, glaring at him fiercely.
This man, neither sooner nor later, decided to release the mark at this moment, making her utter such a sound in front of her father and the Fengg and Yun Elders.
They… they surely think I'm doing something… honestly… really… that person! That rogue!
The more Jian Ran thought, the more she felt angry; the more she thought, the more she felt embarrassed.
Seeing his daughter Jian Ran with flushed cheeks looking toward that person, Jian Yu's expression subtly shifted, and then he too looked again at Shi Feng, saying to him:
"From this moment on, you are one of my Jian Family! You are a genius we have kept hidden, never to be revealed! Your surname is Jian, first name Feng!"
Shi Feng temporarily acquired an identity within this Small World! Since he will battle for the Jian Family in the martial arts competition, how can he not bear the surname Jian!
"I know what to do!" Shi Feng said to Jian Yu.
He had no objections to the identity Jian Yu gave him; after all, it's just a facade, as long as he achieves his purpose.
"Good!" Upon hearing Shi Feng's response, Jian Yu was pleased and nodded satisfactorily at him. He knew Shi Feng was intelligent and would know how to proceed thereafter.
"Ran'er, take him away to rest for now," Jian Yu said.
"Alright, father!" Jian Ran replied.
She then looked at Shi Feng, saying, "Jian Feng, let's go rest for now, I'll order someone to prepare a good residence for you."
"Alright." Shi Feng replied calmly.
With Jian Ran leading, Shi Feng followed her out of the great hall, and shortly thereafter, Jian Yu and the Fengg and Yun Elders were left alone in the hall.
However, the gaze of the three remained fixed in the direction where the two had departed just now.
