Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

The courtyard was as simple as it could get. And that only gave Liu Feng goosebumps. There was grass on the other side of this mundane gate that anyone could cross.

And there wasn't even a guard in this gate. Instead, there was a sign. A sign that probably drove away those who even wanted to come here with malicious intentions.

[Only those who wish to talk business and fight are welcomed.]

Which crazy person would invite people who wanted to fight to the ir doorstep? Bu the courtyard beyond them wasn't exactly empty either. It was filled.

There were multiple disciples, and all of them were, well, fighting. There was not a single disciple who was standing idle. Everyone found an opponent to fight. This atmosphere was just terrifying in Liu Feng's eyes.

He knew better than most that fighting was one of the best ways to grow. He sent the better part of the last two years fighting, and getting stronger. But he also knew that fighting the whole time would only drive someone crazy.

Who would want to do something too much? Especially a dangerous sport like battling.

"Right now, I am hesitating to even go inside. Looking at how they are battling, and the sign in front, it is like they want us to come in, and then fight with them." Liu Feng shook his head and said,

"For this, you should have brought your friend with you. The one with the tiger form. He would have been so helpful in this situation. We would at least be able to match their strength on our own." Cai Guo said.

"Liu Man already sacrificed enough by being next to me all of this time. He could have gone elsewhere, he could have made so many preparations for what is to come next, but he stayed next to me and didn't get to do much of what he likes. I doubt that being in a diplomatic situation is what he would want right now. He should do what he wants to right now." Liu Feng shook his head. He would rather keep Liu Man happy and calm rather than bring him here.

This was something that he could handle on his own, and if he couldn't, then struggling so much and getting this far would be a waste. He had to be able to do this on his own, He knew it.

"As you wish, Young Noble." Cai Guo took a deep breath and pushed the gates.

As they creaked apart, two strong existences appeared in front of the gates immediately, on the opposite side of the gates.

One was an old man, his wrinkles showing his age. This was someone who was half a step in the grave. And the other one, was a woman. But she was also old. She looked as old as the first person who came, the old man.

Side by side, wearing the exact same robes, and standing next to each other, it was like Liu Feng  was looking at the male and female versions of the exact same person.

But Cai Guo recognized these people. He smiled and nodded toward them.

"The dual swords of the True Martial Sect. How long has it been since both of you have left the sect in the ridge and came to the Capital city together? Thirty years? Forty?" Cai Guo chuckled as he greeted them.

"You must be here to talk to the seventh prince. I am afraid that we cannot let you take to him now." The old woman said, shaking her head.

Cai Guo's face fell.

"The crown Prince arrived before us?" He asked.

"That is indeed the case." The old woman nodded, sighing.

"This is unfortunate news. But we believe that we can still convince the prince that this is the right side to be on. We are going to be the winners no matter what is going to happen. I am here to convince the prince that even though he has already chosen, he has chosen wrong. If he sides with us, then only good will come of it." Liu Feng stepped up.

"You, you are the prodigy, aren't you? The one in the Soul Evolution Stage? You are the youngest Soul Evolution Stage cultivator that we have seen in millennia! Even the Han Dynasty era books speak of geniuses like this with rarity. To think that one of them would present himself in front of us. Truly, a fortune, don't you think, Shen An?" The old man looked at his woman counter part.

"You are that boy's son, aren't you? I liked your father. He was never one to back down from a fight. In fact, when he heard of our sect, he visited and had a hearty few battles with us before he left." The woman named Shen An said, smiling, reminiscing about the old times.

Her smile fell at a point though.

"And then, that terrible thing happened, and the man changed for the worse. He rarely smiles, and I think that it has been years since he has last fought? What kind of man doesn't fight everyday?" she said, shaking her head.

Liu Feng wasn't sure where this was going. But he kept patient, hoping that they would allow him inside for the sake of old times.

"Oh, and, what you thought was wrong, boy. The crown prince was here, but he didn't go inside. We didn't allow him in as well. After all, the spineless coward refused to have a fight with one of our disciples." The old man shook his head.

"Careful, Shen Qiang. You are talking about the prince here. Do not disrespect him. He may not be the next king, but he is still a prince, and you must respect him." Cai Guo said.

Liu Feng held his head though, stopping Cai Guo.

"So you are saying that as long as I fight with one of your disciples-"

"What are you? A coward as well? Why would you want to fight with this powerless idiots? Don't you want some fun as well? You will be fighting one of us. That will make it fair." Shen An chuckled.

"Fighting one of you?" Liu Feng frowned.

"Don't tell me! Is that man's son a coward?" Shen Qiang cackled, laughing with the loudest voice he could muster without using Qi.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a gigantic pressure mounted on Shen Qiang. A tiny sliver of a rune danced in Liu Feng's hands.

It was the Yuan Principle. Liu Feng was not a coward by any means. This was a fight that he had no doubt he was going to win. But his spear wasn't one that hesitated at the end. It was one that pierced.

And when he was going to face someone, no matter how much he would control his power, if he would have to reveal his true power, his opponent would definitely face a big injury.

"Are you sure you want to battle me? Right now, right here? In the courtyard of your sect?" Liu Feng asked.

"Why are you asking so many question? I asked you for a fight boy, not a debate. Do you want to meet with the seventh prince or not?" The old man, Shen Qiang, chuckled.

"Fine. But when the time comes, do not blame me that you lost a chunk of your abdomen." Liu Feng nodded as he started hovering, ready to fly up.

"Good. This is really good, I am so glad that you are your father's son. I was afraid that you were going to give the same excuse that the crown prince gave, that frightened brat." Shen Qiang laughed.

"What did he say? Why would he decline a fight and not get the favor of his seventh brother? Clearly the strongest brother he has left." Liu Feng couldn't control his curiosity.

"What has this to do with the seventh prince's favor? He was supposed to gain ours first. We supported the seventh prince when he claimed that he had a chance to win the throne. But he gave up easily, without a fight, saying that he would fight with a better person." Shen Qiang shook his head.

"Yes. That was very disappointing. So of course we were going to choose the one that we would support. After all, it isn't him that is on the battle field, it is us." Shen An smiled.

"So all I have to do is beat you and you will help me?" Liu Feng's eyes sparkled.

"You- Forget it. Why let your hopes pop? Just give us a good fight boy. I want to see who the once in a millennia genus is on the battle field." Shen Qiang rubbed his hands.

Both of them started flying up to the sky, to the very limits that they could each with ease before the sky started to repel them.

Cai Guo and Shen An remained underneath, not yet gone up to spectate.

"That bastard. How dare he steal my battle." Shen An grit her teeth, her anger quite visible in her eyes.

"You have got to be kidding me. Two Soul Evolution Stage experts are fighting above your dear disciples and what you care about is that you couldn't fight my Young Noble? You both really were hit in the head when you were young." Cai Guo shook his head.

"You are right. Thank you for reminding me." The old woman nodded.

She then looked at the disciples who were still engrossed in their fights.

"Disciples! Look up in the sky. This is a rare opportunity to see your dear sect master fight his fullest." She shouted.
