Chapter 139: Feng Yuxiu, Who Met with Unfortunate Timing, Fourth Team Leader Cancelled
Looking at Su Tian’s changes, Feng Yuxiu smiled slightly and then withdrew his hand.
“You’ve found your own path; I lost this match.”
Hearing this, Su Tian stopped.
“The you of now has won, but the you of the future will lose.”
In response to Su Tian’s words, Feng Yuxiu just smiled and stepped back.
Many Purple House Disciples looked down on Feng Yuxiu’s refusal to fight to the end, but Chen Changsheng in the pavilion became interested.
Su Tian and Feng Yuxiu’s contest was clear to see, and Feng Yuxiu’s strength was indeed far higher than Su Tian’s.
Although Su Tian had grasped the essence of the Heaven’s Polar Body Tempering Technique, given his current state and cultivation level, he had no chance of defeating Feng Yuxiu.
However, Feng Yuxiu admitted defeat because the competition had lost its meaning.
Feng Yuxiu was nearing his current limit, and his talent for cultivation severely restricted his upper bounds.
The current cultivation systems were all sorts of flawed, but apart from his proposed “Body of Cultivation,” most cultivation systems were stuck in the “spiritual roots” framework.
According to his estimation, Feng Yuxiu only had the aptitude of a low-grade spiritual root at most.
So even if he defeated Su Tian, he would not be a match for top talents like Gongsun Huaiyu.
Moreover, as Su Tian continued to grow stronger, there would ultimately come a day when he would be defeated.
Since he would never see the view from the peak of the mountain, it might be better to do someone a favor.
To put it simply, Feng Yuxiu was simply out of luck; if he lived in another era, his achievements would be far beyond this.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng softly said, “Indeed, heroes emerge in troubled times—just taking a stroll can lead to discovering a treasure.”
“If Feng Yuxiu were to switch his cultivation system, would he soar to the skies and press down all the prodigies?”
“This idea is quite interesting; it’s worth considering.”
……
Su Tian’s battle had ended, but Ye Henchuan’s confrontation was still ongoing.
Unlike Su Tian, who broke through in a moment of crisis, Ye Henchuan had been steady from the start.
Even though he had been at a disadvantage the whole time, Ye Henchuan’s fist technique grew increasingly refined.
Facing Yang Feng’s fists, which came like a raging storm, Ye Henchuan surprisingly began to exert a sense of pressure in terms of momentum.
With each punch thrown, Ye Henchuan finally understood his own problem.
He was not using a fist technique that belonged to him; it was the fist technique belonging to the “Invincible Daoist.”
To truly comprehend the essence of this fist technique, he had to achieve “unity of man and fist.”
The fist technique is me, and I am the fist technique.
His master integrated obsession into the fist techniques, making them powerful and unstoppable.
While Chen Changsheng melded experiences into his fist techniques, having seen the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, and experienced love and hatred.
He poured his entire self into that small fist.
Thus, when he unleashed a punch, it was like a towering wave, unstoppable.
No one could face the experiences of a long-standing individual directly because the weight of their past was a pain that could not be verbalized.
“Bang!”
Ye Henchuan and Yang Feng met fists again, causing both sides to step back a few paces.
At this moment, the last grain of sand in the hourglass fell into the heap.
“Stop!”

In the pavilion, Chen Changsheng stood up and said, “Yang Feng’s challenge has failed. Ye Henchuan has not defeated all challengers within the allotted time, so the fourth team leader is cancelled.”
“This time, there are three team leaders: Gongsun Huaiyu, Ziling, and Su Tian.”
“Now, as the Holy Son, I give all Purple House Disciples half an hour to prepare.”
“In this half-hour, you must prepare your own weapons and Dan Pills, while also deciding which team leader you ultimately want to follow.”
“If you’re afraid of the dangers of this mission, you can stay behind.”
“This will also avoid certain judgments from your peers.”
Having said that, Chen Changsheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.
Seeing this, Yang Feng and others bowed to Chen Changsheng and then turned to leave.
Attacking the Mad Dragon Fortress was no game; even geniuses faced the risk of falling, and proper preparation was entirely necessary.
After the crowd left, Gongsun Huaiyu and the others approached Chen Changsheng.
Watching Chen Changsheng maintain a calm demeanor, the four felt a bit guilty, after all, the mess created this time was not small.
“s*ck!”
Gently taking a sip of fragrant tea, Chen Changsheng wore an enjoying expression.
“What are you four standing here for? We’re about to embark; shouldn’t you be preparing?”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s demeanor, Ziling tentatively asked, “Holy Son, you don’t blame us?”
“Why would I blame you? It’s your capability that allowed you to take on the tasks from Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion.”
“Cultivators are inherently going against heavenly odds, as we contend with heaven, earth, and man.”
“As for the minor issues that arose, it’s entirely due to your insufficiency.”
“And as the Holy Son of the Purple House Sacred Ground, it is my responsibility to handle these troubles.”
“If I were to blame you for something outside your capability, that would be rather unreasonable.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng paused for a moment, smiling as he looked at the four and continued.
“However, there’s one thing you need to get used to, and that’s cleaning up after your subordinates like I do.”
“I now lead the entire Purple House Sacred Ground’s younger generation, so I can’t handle all the details for you as I once did.”
“I believe you should understand this deeply: Nalan Jing, Wanyan Yue, Zuo Xinghe…”
“These individuals are the powers of their respective factions, and they can’t attend to every detail, right?”
“Similarly, I, Chen Changsheng, cannot handle all the details when war begins; these matters must be completed by you.”
“If you cannot complete them, those who believe in you will only suffer the consequences.”
“So your concern shouldn’t be whether I will blame you, but whether you can face those who believe in you after the battle.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the moods of the four became heavy.
Although all four had experience leading a team, during those times, their elders managed everything.
Even if mistakes happened, someone would step in to cover for them.
Now they too had to stand in the place of those elders; they needed to learn to clean up for others.
When faced with a problem, regardless of ability, one must propose a solution.
As for whether that method is right or wrong, time will verify everything.
Once a mistake is made, countless people who trust you may perish.
The pressure inherent in this was greater than a mountain.
Looking at the serious expressions of the four, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but curve his lips upward.
True leadership is forged through bl**d and tears; merely discussing strategy will never lead to growth.
