"Who is this guy?"
"I don't know..."
"Since I've never seen him before, he should be a disciple of the side family!"
"To be honest, I know most of the famous members of the side family. Given how unfamiliar he is, he probably isn't that famous … Since that's the case, why did he go up there?"
"I don't know either. However, judging from his strength, he might stand a chance!"
…
Seeing the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared, the crowd below the stage burst into an uproar. Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Among the younger generation of the same clan, most of them were familiar with each other. However, the person before them was a complete stranger. None of them recognized him.
"You are …"
Luo Ganzhen was also taken aback for a moment before he frowned.
"I'm Luo Tianya, a disciple of the most distant branch of the clan. Furthermore, I'm not in the clan all year round, so it's normal that the clan leader doesn't know me!"
Zhang Xuan clasped his fists.
Since he had come here to make up for the Luo Clan's apology, it was only right for him to regain face for the Luo Clan.
Thus, after hearing Nangong Yuanfeng's words, he didn't hesitate to fly over.
"Luo Tianya?"
Luo Ganzhen turned to look at Grand Elder Luo Qingchen, only to see that the latter was completely bewildered as well. He had no idea where Luo Qingchen had come from.
"The clan has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and has many branches … There are no genealogies for the side branches, so there's no way to find out. Perhaps there really is such a descendant who has devoted himself to cultivation …"
A moment later, Luo Qingchen realized that he did not recognize the young man before him at all, and he chuckled awkwardly.
Large clans had this flaw. Every year, many of their disciples would go out to train, and no one could guarantee that they weren't fooling around outside. Once they had children, it would be impossible to tell just by looking at their appearance and not examining their bloodline.
"En!"
Understanding this logic, Luo Ganzhen looked at Zhang Xuan helplessly and said, "World's Edge, I can understand your desire to uphold the honor of your Hundred Schools of Philosophers, but they are experts from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, and they are competing on the comprehension of spatial laws.
He didn't think he could win against a branch family disciple.
If even Luo Xuanqing, the core of the group, had been defeated so easily, there was no need to even mention the others.
"You can let me give it a try. I'm from the side family, so even if I lose … I won't feel embarrassed at all!" Zhang Xuan said.
Luo Ganzhen fell silent.
The other party was right. The current situation was already very embarrassing. Regardless of whether this branch family succeeded or failed, it wouldn't be worse than now.
At the same time, he could also call his daughter over while he was fighting.
"Alright!"
Luo Ganzhen paused for a moment before nodding. He turned to Nangong Yuanfeng and said, "Elder, Luo Tianya is willing to compete with your junior …"
"Compete? You want a branch family to compete with us? "
That Mo 'er from just now sneered and almost died.
It looked like the Luo Clan had lost so badly that they didn't even care about their pride anymore.
Nangong Yuanfeng frowned in displeasure. "The bloodline of Ancient Sage Zi Rong flows in our Nangong Clan, and we have come to challenge you out of goodwill. According to the rules set by Kong Shi many years ago, we should treat you with respect. Are you trying to humiliate us?"
Not even the core members of the Luo Clan were a match for him, and yet, he chose to challenge a side family member whom he did not even know … Wasn't he looking down on him a little too much?
"Humiliate me?"
Before Luo Ganzhen could say anything, Zhang Xuan had already shook his head in disdain. "Do you think a bunch of trash like you is worthy of my humiliation?"
"You …"
Not expecting to be looked down upon by a member of the side family, Nangong Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes.
"If you don't dare to compete with me, so be it. There's no need to find excuses!" Zhang Xuan said nonchalantly with his hands behind his back.
"How arrogant of you!"
Mo-er was so furious that he could explode on the spot.
It was one thing for the members of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers to disrespect the other party in such a remote place, but to actually say such words to him? Did he not know how much weight he was worth?
He wasn't the only one who had such thoughts. Luo Ganzhen also slapped his forehead.
Did this side family member really not understand how powerful the other party was?
Otherwise, why would he say such shameless words?
He's just as shameless as that Zhang Xuan!
Luo Xuanqing harrumphed coldly.
As a former friend of Zhang Xuan, he knew just how shameless Zhang Xuan was. Just that … Zhang Xuan's shamelessness was the real deal, but could Luo Xuanqing do the same?
"If you want to compete with me, I'll give you a chance if you can get this Spatial Top to stand up!"
Even though Mo-er was so furious that he wanted to kill someone, he still managed to maintain his lofty demeanor as a member of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers.
"Stand up?"
Mo-er shot a glance at the Spatial Top. He didn't see any movement from Zhang Xuan, but the fellow who had been lying on the ground all this while suddenly leaped up and spun around nonstop, as if fearing that he would be slapped to death if he were to slack off, he asked, "Is that what you mean?"
"…"
Mo-er's eyes widened in shock.
He was only barely able to get the Spatial Top to stand up, but he was still unable to spin it. Most likely, the only one who could do that was his teacher, Nangong Yuanfeng, and even that would require a lot of effort. Yet, this fellow actually spun it with just a glance …
How in the world did he do that?
Nangong Yuanfeng was also stunned.
He had thought that the other party was here to humiliate them, but at this very moment, he realized that the unremarkable-looking member of the side family was the true expert.
Luo Ganzhen, Luo Xuanqing, and the others were stunned as well, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Could it be …"
Luo Ganzhen suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly turned his gaze to First Elder Luo Qingchen.
"That's probably the case. Other than someone who has comprehended the Spatial Quintessence, I can't think of anyone else in the Luo Clan who would be able to spin the Spatial Top so quickly!"
Luo Qingchen nodded in agreement.
"We have been looking for him among the core members, but who could have thought that he would actually be from the side family?"
Luo Ganzhen's face paled in agitation.
He had thought that the Luo Clan would lose, and their reputation would fall to the ground. Yet, who could have thought that the genius who had comprehended the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing would suddenly appear before them?
Not to mention, he was a member of the side family whom even the First Elder could not recognize!
"To be able to make the Spatial Top spin at such a high speed, the Luo Clan sure is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
It seems like I have misjudged him … "Taking a deep breath, Nangong Yuanfeng suppressed his shock and harrumphed coldly. He turned to Mo-er and instructed," Mo-er, be careful. His comprehension of space isn't inferior to yours at all! "
"Yes, teacher!"
Knowing that the person before him was no ordinary person, Mo-er reined in his disdain and walked to the center of the dueling ring. He clasped his fist and bowed. "Feel free to speak your mind. If it's just a spinning top, I'll admit defeat! "
"What kind of duel?"
With his hands still behind his back, Zhang Xuan looked at Mo-er impassively and said, "Are you worthy of me making a move against you?"
"You …" Mo-er's face reddened.
"Let that old fellow do it. Otherwise, all five of you will come at me together!"
Zhang Xuan said nonchalantly.
