Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 344 - 332: The Age of Great Conflict, The Fate of a Genius, and a Father’s Worries; The Wilderness and the Heaven Realm, Two Worlds

Chapter 344: Chapter 332: The Age of Great Conflict, The Fate of a Genius, and a Father’s Worries; The Wilderness and the Heaven Realm, Two Worlds

Wang Xuerui’s little face turned red with shame, as she chided, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? So annoying!"

Wang Erbao’s eyes darted around before he let out a sly giggle and added fuel to the fire, "Uncle, who needs to marry anyone.

"It’s all Mad Dog Chu’s fault. Her photo made it to the newspapers, now what good man would want her!"

Chu Feng: "..."

Wang Weiguo: "..."

Both of them turned their heads to look at the tactless Wang Erbao with eyes full of pity, then they turned to look at Wang Xuerui beside them.

Sure enough, Wang Xuerui nearly exploded with anger upon hearing this. She stepped forward, grabbed Wang Erbao’s ear, and sneered with clenched silver teeth, "No good person would want me? A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory!

"It looks like you’ve really grown bolder, daring to make up stories about me to my face! I’m going to loosen those joints for you right now!"

The excruciating pain snapped the delusional Wang Erbao back to reality. Only then did he realize that his words hadn’t trapped Chu Feng but had instead backfired on his older sister, and he couldn’t help crying out:

"Uncle, save me! My sister is going to beat me up!"

"..."

Wang Weiguo couldn’t be bothered with the squabble between the two youngsters, letting Wang Xuerui drag Wang Erbao away. He only glared at Chu Feng and suddenly sighed:

"Xiao Feng."

"Uncle, you speak, I’m listening."

Chu Feng stepped forward and listened attentively, showing unprecedented obedience.

Wang Weiguo couldn’t help but roll his eyes and scolded, "What are you acting all well-behaved for? I’ve watched you grow up since you were a child. When you pucker up, I know exactly what kind of crap you’re about to pull!"

Chu Feng silently touched his nose.

Wang Weiguo sighed, "You’re a child I’ve watched over. After my brother and sister-in-law left, you became like half a son to me.

"I’m actually very confident in your character. Handing over Xuerui to you, a good kid whose roots I’m well aware of, was originally a good choice."

Chu Feng listened quietly, waiting for the turn of the conversation.

Indeed, Wang Weiguo’s tone changed as he continued, "But you, you’ve become more and more capable, attracting bigger and bigger troubles, facing more and more enemies, and those enemies are getting more and more dangerous.

"Of course, I know you’re a genius, I’ve known that very early on."

He added in his mind, ’But I never imagined you’d be such a freak, like a golden Phoenix jumping out of a chicken’s nest!’

He paused and then went on, "I also know that a proud child like you will never be content with mediocrity, and that you’ll strive to stand at the forefront of the era, to soar like a dragon."

He looked at Chu Feng deeply and said solemnly, "This is the destiny of geniuses like you!

"Either you succeed in becoming a dragon, commanding the wind and summoning the rain.

"Or you fall to dust and perish without a whole corpse!"

"..."

Chu Feng was silent for a while, then silently nodded, agreeing with Wang Weiguo’s judgment.

The world today is a chaotic age of Demons, but also a golden age of Martial Arts, and even more so, an era of great contention!

Chu Feng must struggle against Demons, compete with Martial Noble Families, contend with various heroes, and even fight against destiny itself!

Only the victor earns the right to live on.

Only by continuously winning can one keep on living!

Until at last, leaving all competitors far behind, one can ascend to the peak of the seventy million on Blue Star and become the Martial Arts Myth!

...

"And this path is destined to be lonely."

Wang Weiguo looked at Chu Feng, concern of an elder father showing in his eyes, not just for Wang Xuerui, but also for Chu Feng.

He whispered, "I’ve long considered you my own child, and I’ve always followed your journey.

"I’ve witnessed you making a resounding name for yourself across Quan Longhua, but I’ve also seen your injuries and your fatigue.

"Go on and walk the path you’ve chosen. I won’t stop you; I will only support you.

"But I want to tell you this, if you’re tired, you can come back to Ning River.

"Home will always have your bedroom."

"..."

Chu Feng’s eyes suddenly reddened when he heard this. He quickly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed the sourness in his eyes.

It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him like this.

All the people he met either despised him or respected him, or they wanted to use him.

But no one had ever asked if he was suffering, if he was tired, if he wanted to take a rest.

Upon hearing what Wang Weiguo had to say, the negative emotions that had been hidden in his heart seemed to find a gap in his spirit, and they almost exploded out, almost making him urinate in public!

"..."

Wang Weiguo patted Chu Feng’s shoulder, offering silent comfort.

"Uncle, please continue, I’m listening."

Chu Feng suppressed the tumultuous emotions in his heart and mustered a faint smile as he spoke.

Wang Weiguo nodded and continued in a soft voice, "Going back to Xue Rui.

"Xue Rui’s aptitude is merely passable. As an ordinary student, she can make a name for herself and have a decent future.

"But for you, it’s not enough, far from enough.

"She’s different from you, lacking bottomless potential and the talent to dominate her peers...

"She can’t keep up with your pace and can’t handle the crises you will face.

"You young ones have the freedom to love anyone you choose, and I won’t interfere.

"But I also need to remind you that keeping her by your side without the ability to protect her properly will expose her to great risks and could place her in life-threatening danger at any moment."

Wang Weiguo’s gaze became deep, his voice cold as he said, "I come from a noble family; I have seen too many sordid matters, hidden beneath the splendid facade of wealthy houses.

"If the Lin Family can’t deal with you directly, they will find every way to exploit your weaknesses, to threaten you, control you, kill you."

He looked deeply at Chu Feng and said softly, "Until you’re strong enough, don’t let Xue Rui become your weakness."

"..."

Chu Feng took a deep breath and suddenly laughed, "I understand, Uncle, don’t worry.

"I will grow up as soon as possible, grow powerful enough to easily slaughter the Lin Family, to make all my enemies fear me, to tremble at the sound of my name!"

"It’s just that, I might have to be separated from Xue Rui for a while..."

There were things that Chu Feng and Wang Weiguo didn’t say, but the tacit understanding between men often reaches an agreement with just an exchange of glances.

Chu Feng had grasped Wang Weiguo’s meaning.

Wang Weiguo also understood that Chu Feng knew what he had to do.

"..."

Wang Weiguo sighed, "Good boy, it’s hard on you..."

Chu Feng dismissed the bitterness in his heart with a wave of his hand and laughed, "You worry too much; it’s my enemies who suffer, I’ve never been at a disadvantage."

Wang Weiguo gave him a glare, but couldn’t help laughing, "You little rascal, you’re always shamelessly never at a loss!"

As the two were about to delve further into conversation, two Law Enforcement Department officers who were responsible for watching Chu Feng ran out of patience and stepped forward to interrupt,

"Excuse us, gentlemen, it’s already six thirty, and the evening ceremony is about to begin.

"Mr. Chu, please come with us; we still have some work to do!"

Chu Feng suddenly realized how quickly time had passed.

So he smiled and said, "Uncle, then I’ll go with the seniors. About Ms. Xuerui..."

Wang Weiguo stepped forward with a smile and embraced him, saying, "Go ahead, I’ll handle things here, don’t worry.

"Your uncle still has a tough old bone!"

Chu Feng returned the hug gently and glanced at the figure of his beloved in the distance.

Then he turned resolutely and left without looking back.

...

Wang Xuerui was scolding Wang Erbao, tugging at his ear, when she suddenly felt a twinge in her heart.

She let go, looking back in a daze.

In her line of sight was only the increasingly stooped figure of Wang Weiguo, aged with time.

He stood steadfastly in the shadows, looking towards the brightly lit Union Hall in the distance.

Like a mortal wielding a torch on the wilderness of the earth, gazing up at the eternal Heaven Realm where the gods dwell.

The beautiful Heaven Realm was out of reach, never belonging to mortals, only accessible to those of divine lineage.

And that familiar figure, the one who would call her Ms. Xuerui with a smile, had already disappeared from sight.

Without a trace.

"..."

Wang Xuerui walked up behind Wang Weiguo, looking at his back tremblingly, and asked in a soft voice, "Dad, where’s... Xiao Feng?"
