What other consequences could there be?
"How dare you!"
"Who are you? How dare you hurt a disciple of the Wang Family!"
"Today is a good day for our family. This person is too audacious and must be punished severely!"
Furious roars sounded out one after another. With the exception of Wang Zhanghai and Wang Nian, there were not many people present who knew of Luo Zheng's identity. Most of them thought that he was just a youngster who was on good terms with Wang Nian and did not pay much attention to him previously.
They did not expect Luo Zheng to suddenly intervene and help Wang Nian and his son out of their predicament.
"Young man, do you know the consequences of your recklessness?"
Second Elder saw that Luo Zheng had ruined his plan and his face turned cold. He walked towards him with a murderous look in his eyes and was about to attack.
Wang Chong was the son of Seventh Elder. How could he not be angry when he saw his son beaten to such a state?
"Consequences? What other consequences could there be? Everyone heard that this fellow overestimated himself and wanted to see the power of the Five Beast Army. As a member of the Five Beast Army's Blue Wolf Battalion, I was just trying to satisfy him. Can't I do that? "
Luo Zheng had an indifferent expression on his face as he looked at the Seventh Elder unconcernedly.
"What? This youth is from the Five Beast Army! "
"Wang Chong has reached the Bone Forging Realm at the age of seventeen. This is already very rare in Green Rock City. This youth is probably only fourteen or fifteen, but he defeated Wang Chong in one move. This is a true genius with a bright future ahead of him!"
"I did not expect Wang Nian to be so lucky to be able to befriend such a genius youth. Looks like he is not useless after all."
The expressions of the surrounding guests changed. They no longer looked at Wang Nian and his son with ridicule.
Seventh Elder's breathing stopped. He did not expect this ordinary-looking youth to be a genius youth from the Five Beast Army.
Everyone in the Hundred Battles Dynasty knew that the Wang Beast Army was the backup army of the War Emperor's personal army, the Five Saints Army. Not only were the members of the army from noble families, but they were also martial arts geniuses with outstanding talent. If one could enter the Five Beast Army, one might even have the chance to enter the Five Saints Army and become a true disciple of the Emperor.
Although the identity of a member of the Five Beasts Army was just a symbol and they had no power or influence, no one dared to bully them. Otherwise, they would definitely suffer a great loss.
Furthermore, even though Wang Chong was provoking Wang Nian previously, he didn't make things clear. Even if he were to be beaten up now, he would have to suffer in silence.
"Damn you little bastard. If you were not from the Five Beasts Army, I would have killed you with my own hands!"
The Seventh Elder glared hatefully at Luo Zheng, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only help his son up and leave.
The faces of the other members of the Wang Clan were also ugly, but no one dared to speak. Wang Chong's strength was already outstanding among his peers in the Wang Clan, but in the end, he wasn't even able to receive a single blow from Luo Zheng. They couldn't possibly allow an adult to challenge him. That wouldn't be a fair competition, but an intentional bullying.
Seeing no reaction from the crowd, Luo Zheng glanced at Wang Chen and sneered. Then, he turned around and walked towards his seat. He sat down calmly and closed his eyes to rest.
"This brat! How dare he ruin my show! Just you wait! "
Wang Chen's eyes were spitting fire, but he didn't dare to vent his anger on Luo Zheng. Everyone knew that the Seventh Elder and Wang Chong were Wang Chen's men. Wang Chong's slap by Luo Zheng was like a slap to his face, causing him to feel a burning pain.
In the following days, regardless of whether it was the members of the Wang Clan or those who had come to watch the ceremony, as long as they had some relationship with Changhai, they would all approach him to inquire about Luo Zheng.
Everyone could see that Luo Zheng was young, but his cultivation was extremely strong and his potential was extraordinary. Perhaps in a few years, he would really be able to enter the Five Saints Army and become the Son of Heaven's disciple.
By then, there would be no chance for them to climb up to him.
Some of the youths from the Wang Clan who were on good terms with Wang Nian also surrounded him and asked about him.
Very quickly, news about Luo Zheng spread throughout the square.
"This Luo Zheng is only 14 years old. I'm afraid that his cultivation is in the Bone Refining Realm, or even the Film Refining Realm."
"He is actually an official martial soldier. He became an official martial soldier at 14 years old. His future is limitless!"
"He came from a humble background, but he was able to defeat so many disciples from the big clans in the assessment. He stood out and entered the Five Beasts Army. He is a true genius!"
Some of the people in charge of the clans looked at Luo Zheng with a strange light in their eyes. They were thinking about how to get close to him.
"This Luo Zheng seems to have a bright future. Since he is willing to fight for Wang Nian, it seems that they are close friends."
"If this Luo Zheng can enter the Five Saints Army in the future, make contributions, and be conferred a noble title, he will definitely be able to establish a first-rate clan. If our Wang Clan can rely on him now, we will benefit greatly in the future!"
"If that's the case, it will be difficult to remove Changhai from his position as the head of the clan, lest Wang Nian resents the clan."
Some of the people in charge of the Wang Clan also had their own ideas.
Luo Zheng was a youth with limitless potential. Before he truly rose to prominence, he would be able to reap many benefits in the future if he showed a little kindness. The people present were all shrewd people, so how could they not see this point?
"Although this Luo Zheng comes from a humble background, he doesn't have the rustic aura of those poor youths. He is really quite handsome!"
"I saw him send Wang Chong flying with one palm. He is so heroic!"
"Those who can enter the Five Beasts Army are all rare martial arts geniuses. I wonder if he is married …"
The few girls who had originally surrounded Wang Chen all turned their shy gazes towards Luo Zheng. There were even two girls with hot figures who intentionally or unintentionally walked towards Luo Zheng in an attempt to attract his attention.
The guests that the Wang Clan had invited today were all from second-rate or third-rate clans. Those who could enter the Bone Forging Realm at the age of fifteen or sixteen were already very rare. They would definitely be nurtured as the hope of the clan.
At this moment, Luo Zheng was undoubtedly a dragon among men, a crane among chickens, standing out from the crowd. How could these young girls not be moved by him?
Seeing this situation, Wang Chen was infuriated. Today was supposed to be his day, but Luo Zheng had stolen the limelight.
"Hmph, he is just a child from a humble background. So what if he has entered the Five Beasts Battalion? When my cousin Zhong Xiong arrives, he will be thoroughly humiliated!"
Wang Chen said hatefully as he stared coldly at Luo Zheng.
The attention of the young girls around him was immediately drawn over, and they began to ask questions.
"My mother's clan is the Zhong Clan, a first-rate clan in Fengyang County. My cousin Zhong Xiong entered the Five Beasts Army a year ago and became an official martial soldier. And he is not in the Blue Wolf Battalion, which is ranked last, but the Iron Tiger Battalion, which is ranked third among the five battalions. He is in the Film Forging Realm, and is only a step away from the Blood Tempering Realm. This is a true genius. That Luo Zheng is nothing. "
Wang Chen's face was full of pride as he said this.
When the young girls heard this, their eyes lit up, and their faces were filled with anticipation. They could not wait to see this young master Zhong Xiong.
Slowly, the news that the Zhong Clan of Fengyang County would send their genius Zhong Xiong to attend Wang Chen's ceremony to collect the fire source and become a weapon refiner slowly spread.
The gazes of the crowd in the square towards Wang Zhanghai and Wang Nian had unknowingly changed.
Although Wang Chen's mother was from the Zhong Clan of Fengyang County, she was not a direct descendant, so they were not close.
For a first-rate clan like the Zhong Clan to send their genius to attend, this was not a simple matter. This showed that the Zhong Clan of Fengyang County supported Wang Chen.
As time passed, there was only fifteen minutes left until the auspicious time for Wang Chen to collect the fire source.
"Young master Zhong Xiong of the Zhong Clan of Fengyang County has arrived!"
At this moment, the housekeeper who was receiving the guests outside shouted loudly.
Boom!
The square immediately became lively. Whether they were members of the Wang Clan or not, they all stood up, their faces full of anticipation. Some of the underage boys and girls even rushed to the main door of the Wang Clan.
The Zhong Clan of Fengyang County was a first-rate clan. In the Hundred Battles Dynasty, there was an insurmountable gap between a first-rate clan and a second-rate clan. Even if the Zhong Clan was ranked last among the first-rate clans, it was still ten times stronger than the Wang Clan.
The appearance of a genius from a first-rate clan naturally attracted everyone's attention. They all wanted to find an opportunity to curry favor with him.
"Hmph, kid, you won't be so smug for long. My cousin Zhong Xiong is an official soldier of the Iron Tiger Camp. His strength is far above yours. You're doomed!"
Wang Chen's face was full of pride. He purposely walked in front of Luo Zheng and sneered before running out.
"Zhong Xiong? Don't tell me he's that bootlicker? "
A playful smile appeared on Luo Zheng's face.
At this moment, Zhong Xiong was dressed in a white brocade robe, dressed like a young master. Waving a folding fan, he looked arrogantly at the Wang Clan Mansion in front of him. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
The Wang Clan was already the number one clan in Green Rock City. Their clan residence was piled with gold and jade and was extremely luxurious. However, compared to the Zhong Clan of Fengyang County, it was nothing. In Zhong Xiong's eyes, this kind of superficial extravagance was just something that a poor country bumpkin would do.
This time, if Wang Chen had not been discovered to have the talent to become a blacksmith, and if the clan had not wanted to recruit him, Zhong Xiong, as the son of the clan and the number one genius of the Zhong Clan, would never have come to Green Rock City.
"Cousin, it must have been hard on you. Please come in!"
After a while, Wang Chen walked out with a face full of enthusiasm. In the past, when he followed his mother back home, it was rare for him to see this noble cousin of his. This time, Zhong Xiong actually came to congratulate him, which made him feel even more honored.
"Cousin Wang Chen, you're too kind!"
Zhong Xiong thought of the clan's instructions before he left and forced a smile and cupped his hands.
After all, after Wang Chen became a blacksmith, even if he could only forge inferior-grade dharma weapons, his status would be greatly improved. It would be easier to recruit him in the future if he could establish a good relationship with him in advance.
The cousins exchanged a few pleasantries and, surrounded by the crowd, walked hand in hand to the Wang Clan Ancestral Hall.
Along the way, Wang Chen did not let go of the opportunity and joked about what had happened before Zhong Xiong arrived.
However, some things changed completely when they came out of his mouth.
The matter became that the current head of the clan, Wang Changhai, had secretly used the clan's inferior-grade dharma weapon as the price to send his useless son to the Five Beast Army Sky Wolf Battalion. This time, after being discovered by the clan, he had even instructed his son to bring an official soldier of the Sky Wolf Battalion to the Wang Clan to cause trouble at today's ceremony and embarrass Wang Chen.
"There was such a thing!"
When Zhong Xiong heard this, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. He said domineeringly, "Humph, so what if it's an official soldier of the Sky Wolf Battalion, it's just a bunch of useless trash. I want to see who is so bold as to attack my cousin!"
