Levi Wang's hand instinctively reached under the table to touch his still-healing broken leg the moment he saw Terra Su. A flash of hatred flickered in his eyes, unhidden.
Timothy Jiang turned and left, a sinister smile playing on his lips. He knew that in the current Wang Family, it wasn't just Levi; many harbored deep resentment towards Emma Jiang and Terra Su.
Emma had rejected Wang Sheng's marriage proposal, and not just that—she had gone to the Wang Family to cancel the engagement after it had been agreed upon, which was tantamount to a public withdrawal, bringing shame to the entire Wang Family.
The Wang Family had also vaguely heard that Terra Su had said something to Otto Jiang and Robert Jiang, prompting them to visit the Wang Family to call off the engagement.
Timothy Jiang had deliberately seated Terra Su and Emma Jiang at a table full of Wang Family members, clearly with ill intentions.
At this moment, every Wang Family member at the table was giving Emma and Terra hostile looks.
"So, you're Terra Su?" The speaker was a burly young man in his early twenties, his eyes fixed on Terra. "I heard that a few days ago, someone beat up Levi at the Drunk Immortal Residence. Was that you?"
Before Terra could respond, the young man continued, "I also heard that Stewart Jiang and Timothy Jiang both lost to the same person during the Jiang Family clan meeting. Was that you too?"
"Yes, and what of it?" Terra replied nonchalantly, ignoring Emma's worried glance beside him.
"Hmph, if both those things are true, then your strength is indeed passable!" The tall young man sneered, his eyes challenging Terra. "I want to spar with you. Do you dare?"
At this moment, Levi Wang, who had been sitting silently, interjected with a hint of malice in his eyes, "Oh, Terra, I should remind you that Brother Sean Wang has already broken through to the Condensing Origin Realm. He's now at the first level of the Condensing Origin Realm, the second person in Clear River City after Miles Ye to achieve this."
This revelation stunned the other Wang Family members present. "No way, Brother Zhong has broken through to the Condensing Origin Realm?"
Sean Wang smiled proudly, "That's right, I broke through recently. But it's not much of an achievement, just a small step ahead on the path of Martial Dao."
Sean Wang's words were overly modest. The gap between the tenth level of the Inducing Qi Realm and the Condensing Origin Realm was vast. Many Martial Practitioners spent their entire lives stuck at the tenth level of the Inducing Qi Realm, unable to break through. Some took five, ten, or even twenty years to reach the Condensing Origin Realm.
Thus, for Sean Wang to break through at just over twenty years old, he was undoubtedly a genius.
Among the younger generation of the Wang Family, excluding the always-traveling Jack Wang, Sean Wang was the top. In the entire younger generation of Clear River City, he was second only to Miles Ye.
All eyes at the table turned to Terra Su, many of them mocking, eager to see how he would handle this predicament.
If Terra accepted the challenge, he would surely lose, as the gap between an Inducing Qi Realm practitioner and a Condensing Origin Realm one was insurmountable. But if he refused, he would be ridiculed as a coward, making it a lose-lose situation.
Terra glanced at the varied expressions around him, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. The opponent's plan was clear: no matter his choice, he would lose face.
What they didn't know was that Terra had also broken through to the Condensing Origin Realm and possessed five True Essence Cores, far surpassing the ordinary Condensing Origin Realm.
Think you can humiliate me?
Not so easily.
Just then, Emma Jiang spoke coldly, "Don't forget, this is a birthday banquet. How can you disrupt it with a fight?"
Emma didn't know Terra had broken through to the Condensing Origin Realm and was trying to prevent a sparring match.
Her words were reasonable, but Sean Wang was prepared. He laughed, "Of course, I know it's a birthday banquet. We don't need a big fight. A single punch will suffice. Unless Terra Su is afraid."
A single punch was the quickest way to gauge strength. The weaker party would often be sent flying, humiliated on the spot.
Sean Wang's suggestion was reasonable; a single punch wouldn't disrupt the banquet.
Just as Emma was about to say more, the Wang Family members at the table began to jeer, "Terra Su, do you dare?" "If you don't, you're not a man!"
As they expected Terra to back down, Terra's calm voice rang out, "Alright, one punch it is."
What? Terra actually agreed?
The jeering Wang Family members fell silent, thinking they had misheard.
Even Sean Wang was surprised, but he quickly sneered. If this kid wanted to die, so be it.
Daring to injure Wang Family members at the Drunk Immortal Residence and instigating Emma to break off the engagement—time to settle the score.
Sean Wang sneered, "Terra Su, to be fair, I won't use my Condensing Origin Realm strength. I'll suppress my power to the Inducing Qi Realm. Is that fair enough?"
It sounded fair, but it wasn't. Sean Wang's physique, strength, and combat reflexes were at the Condensing Origin Realm level. Even if he suppressed his cultivation to the tenth level of the Inducing Qi Realm, he would still crush an ordinary Inducing Qi Realm practitioner.
Everyone present knew this.
But Terra remained indifferent, "If we're going to do it, let's get on with it. Stop wasting time. Do it however you like!"
Wow!
Everyone was shocked by Terra's audacity to speak to a Condensing Origin Realm genius like that.
"You…"
Sean Wang was momentarily speechless, anger flashing in his eyes before being replaced by coldness. "Fine, take my punch!"
"Levi, count us down!"
Sean Wang stood up, towering over Terra like an iron wall, exuding a dominant aura.
"Three, two, one!"
As Levi finished counting, Sean Wang raised his fist and swung it towards Terra.
