Tang Shaoyang watched the Dragon and Phoenix Tournament for two days in a row. Today was the main event, but even then, he got bored after watching the first fight.
It was not even a fight in the first place. It was just one person beating another one. The fight would be over in less than a minute. It was one person, showing his technique, letting out a burst of energy that knocked his opponent off.
The organizer called it the main event, but it was no different than yesterday. It was a stage to screen out the weaklings.
"Do we really have to watch this?" Tang Shaoyang was not asking; he was complaining to Ouyang Biya. It was her idea to watch the tournament.
'The Heaven Founder will launch their attack during the tournament. I am sure of that, but I don't know the exact time.'
She replied through their telepathic communication. She was not stupid enough to say it out when she was sitting within the crowd. That would cause a panic attack, and that might mess up with the Heaven Founder.
It was quite funny. They were not on anyone's side, but they wanted Heaven Founder to succeed in their initial attack.
Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh, took a sip from his jug, and threw a spicy dried squid into his mouth. He was chewing it in annoyance. It would be better if Liang Suyin were with him, but she decided not to come after what they watched yesterday.
It was only he and Ouyang Biya here today. The others truly lost interest in the tournament. They would rather stay in the Yang Clan's estate and learn more about the cultivation. There was nothing gained from watching the tournament.
Another fight ended, again, it ended quickly because of the difference in their cultivation. The tournament put age as a restriction on participation, but there were always people who were more talented than the others.
The next fight was announced, and cheers erupted. That surprised him a little, wondering who would get into the next match.
"It's the Nangong Clan's young master, one of the most talented of their younger generation, Nangong Wulian," Ouyang Biya told Tang Shaoyang.
"He's apparently the most talented one in his generation. He has reached the late-stage Golden Core Realm even though he is just 17 years old."
"Is that impressive?" Tang Shaoyang didn't find it impressive at all. His tone was so obvious that it was not really impressive.
Lu An was 20 years old, and he was already a Demi-God Rank. That was equal to the Immortal Emperor already. Lu An was more impressive than the Nangong people.
"He is still training his foundation. If his family judged he had a strong foundation, they would pour resources on him, and he would reach Immortal Emperor in ten years," Ouyang Biya added.
She was trying to tell Tang Shaoyang how impressive this Nangong Wulian was, but they had different common sense. In his eyes, these cultivators were too slow.
When he thought about this, it reminded him of what Nikolas said to him about the cultivator. Nikolas might be right that he made the wrong choice to choose this martial arts path.
Another cheer boomed when Nangong Wulian defeated his opponent in one strike. He didn't understand what was so exciting about this.
Each time a scion or a successor of a big faction entered the arena, a cheer resounded. It was as if they were paid by these big factions. He could not really tell whether they were cheering genuinely or not. But that happened each time the big family or a successor of a big sect came up.
Tang Shaoyang watched the whole tournament to the end, both for Phoenix and Dragon Clash. There were 128 fights in total, with most of them ending up being one-sided.
He stretched out, as a relieved smile formed on his lips. The torture was finally over, and he thought about returning to the Yang Clan's estate. However, Liang Suyin was standing outside the venue, waving her hand at him.
"I am going to investigate something. You don't need to wait for me." After saying that, Ouyang Biya left.
Tang Shaoyang was unsure whether Ouyang Biya just wanted to give him a space with Liang Suyin, or if she really went off to investigate something.
He could check what she did with the shared vision, but he respected her privacy. Instead, he quickly ran to his wife. Today she was wearing a white dress.
He heard about words: Clothes make the person. That was not entirely true or applicable to Liang Suyin. She always looked pretty, whatever she wore, even a normal shirt.
Liang Suyin hooked her arm with his, and he placed her hand around her waist. He gave a quick kiss on her forehead and whispered, "You are so beautiful that I think you are going to cause trouble for me soon enough."
She rolled her eyes at the remark. That was his way to praise his wife, and she heard the same thing yesterday, but nothing happened.
They strolled in the street together, enjoying their time together, enjoying the festive night. Sometimes his hand got naughty and went down a little bit.
At the end of the stroll, they decided to have dinner in a fancy boat restaurant. There was an artificial lake in the middle of the city, and there was a big fancy boat on it. That was the restaurant, and they took the table on the highest floor as it looked more romantic.
The Sacred Realm didn't adopt everything from the System. They had their own System, even the skill and stuff. However, they welcomed the Game Coin, replacing their old currency with GC. That made things more convenient for Tang Shaoyang.
To eat at this table itself was 100k GC, and their food was far more expensive than every other restaurant he had ever visited. The cheapest dish was 5k GC, and their most expensive dish was 150k GC.
Those numbers were nothing to him, but he still complained how pricey they were. But it was a special date, he didn't think much about it, and two courses, their most expensive ones. Might as well enjoy their best meal since he had paid the table for 100k GC.
The appetizer looked appealing, not just because their culture was similar to his old country, but their food was kinda similar. They were presented with four appetizers, each of which.
A small basket contained a crystal dumpling, a small plate of drunken chicken, and a small plate of thinly sliced tea-smoked duck. All of them were so well-garnished that even the look made him hungry.
The last plate was a lotus root, but he didn't know what they did to it. It was brown in color with sauce or broth below the five slices of the lotus root. It didn't look as appetizing as the other appetizers, but it had a great smell.
"Do you know what this one is?" He asked Liang Suyin after the attendant left.
"This is Lotus Root Filled with Sticky Rice. If I remember correctly, it's supposed to be sweet, but I'm not sure since we are in a different world." Liang Suyin placed the first dumpling into her mouth, taking a small bite.
Tang Shaoyang was about to take one, curious since he had never heard of it before. He didn't like sweat, but maybe he would like this one. Before he could take it, someone was running, and this person ran toward him.
His sharp sense could tell it right away as he looked up in that direction. A male attendant was running toward his table, his face looked troubled, and he was clearly in panic.
Tang Shaoyang looked in the direction from which this attendant came. It was a table of four young men, dressed in fancy robes with golden threads. They were all smiling, looking in his direction.
With his rich experiences of this kind of situation, he could tell what would happen. He let out a sigh and placed his chopstick down, creating a clanking noise.
Liang Suyin looked up, surprised. She quickly noticed that her husband looked annoyed. She was about to ask why until the attendant came to their table.
The male attendant didn't dare to look at Tang Shaoyang. He looked toward Liang Suyin instead and delivered the message, "Can you please come with me, Young Lady? Young Master Dongfang orders you to drink with him."
In Tang Shaoyang's mind, he already imagined snapping this attendant's neck. He might do it if not for the Essence of Tranquility Breathing. He was circulating the breathing right now, helping him to hold back.
Liang Suyin frowned, snapping toward the male attendant, "Is this how your restaurant treats its guests? We pay a lot to eat here, and you dare to treat your guests like this?"
The male attendant was clearly surprised. He was deeply sorry for the beautiful lady in front of him, but he thought she would comply when he mentioned Young Master Dongfang. The Dongfang Family was in charge of the city, one of the Eight Families in the Murim Alliance.
What shocked him was the fact that he was scared of the lady. He didn't know why, but he felt that way when he heard her voice and her tone. There was something that bothered him, but there was nothing he could do about it. He realized that the young lady was not an ordinary person.
"Call the person in charge. I want to have a word with him!"
The male attendant immediately turned around and was about to dash to the manager. He was happy doing it since the manager would take care of the issue. However, Young Master Dongfang was already behind him, pulling him back, not letting the male attendant leave.
"There's no need for a manager, no? I will pay for your table, and I will add one million if you accompany me for the night. Not enough? I will give you ten million!"
"I will give you 1 billion, but I want your head!"
Young Master Dongfang snapped toward the voice.
"Do you know who—"
Young Master Dongfang could not finish the words as Tang Shaoyang released his aura. He was shocked by the aura; his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground. Not just him, everyone on the same floor experienced the same aura except Liang Suyin.
The male attendant passed out with foam on his mouth, clutching his neck, as if he had a hard time breathing.
Young Master Dongfang was lying down on the ground, his eyes widened in shock and fear. The realization that he unknowingly offended a mysterious expert.
To his relief, his bodyguards appeared next to him. However, before they could do anything, he witnessed the four bodyguards being burned by crimson fire. The fire was unique as it didn't spread to the boat. It just burned the body and dissipated afterward, but then he witnessed that it was the beautiful lady's doing.
"Does it matter now who you are?" The man with a powerful aura questioned him. He shook his head slowly because the pressure was so heavy that he was barely able to move his head. Young Master Dongfang was so scared that he wet himself.
Tang Shaoyang quickly retracted his aura when he heard Ouyang Biya's voice in his head. He thought of killing this man and burning the boat. Ouyang Biya's voice stopped him from doing it.
Tch!
He clicked his tongue and stomped on Young Master Dongfang's crotch!
ARGHHHHHHHHHH!
Young Master Dongfang let out a shriek as he clutched his crotch area. That thing was gone, stomped flat.
Tang Shaoyang quickly reached Young Master Dongfang's cheek and forcefully fed him the healing potion, then he whispered, "Don't die! This is not the time. Keep your life intact because I will come for you!"
The stomp was not meant to kill Young Master Dongfang. He just wanted this young man to experience the pain. That was why he was fed a healing potion afterward.
"I told you that your beauty is going to cause me trouble… No, let me rephrase it. It's not a trouble, just a nuisance."
