Chapter Summary
Although mentalists are powerful, the appearance of a War General-level ferocious beast would be a huge threat to them. A War General-level ferocious beast wouldn't even last 5 minutes in front of Zhao Wudi, so this is the difference between the two. In terms of age, Shangguan Bao is much younger than Zhao Wudi, but the difference in cultivation level between them is like a gap of several decades.
Soon everyone shifted their suspicions to other aspects, such as the appearance of a War God-level ferocious beast nearby. Although mentalists are powerful, the appearance of a War General-level ferocious beast would be a huge threat to them. Don't underestimate Shangguan Bao just because he is a mentalist; compared to Zhao Wudi, the difference in their strength is too great. If Zhao Wudi were here, he would definitely suspect that it was done by humans. A War General-level ferocious beast wouldn't even last 5 minutes in front of Zhao Wudi, so this is the difference between the two.
In terms of age, Shangguan Bao is much younger than Zhao Wudi, but the difference in cultivation level between them is like a gap of several decades. Although Zhao Wudi has gained social status and personal wealth since becoming famous, these things are not important to him. The most important thing is to improve his strength. However, Zhao Wudi's thoughts do not represent Shangguan Bao's thoughts.
When Shangguan Bao learned that he was a mentalist, he immediately began to enjoy life. Even when he went hunting in the wild, it wasn't to train his strength, but rather to collect his so-called handicrafts. So the two were not on the same level at all. One was focused on cultivation, while the other was focused on enjoyment. The gap between them could only widen.
If Shangguan Bao had been more restrained back then, even if he had only reached 30% of Zhao Wudi's hard-earned skills, he would never have ended up like this. But Shangguan Bao never had that idea in the first place. He believed that with his prestigious family background and his potential, he could simply enjoy life for the rest of his days. So while Zhao Wudi was training hard, this guy frequented casinos and brothels. As for places like training rooms, he didn't even go there. If he suddenly appeared there, it must be because there were beautiful women around. Otherwise, you wouldn't see him at all. This was a common understanding within the Shangguan family.
Many elders in the family had spoken about this matter, but Shangguan Bao wouldn't listen. In his view, their old-fashioned thinking was outdated. He was now in control of his own life, what did it have to do with them? Of course, he should enjoy life. In his current situation, not enjoying life would be foolish. Therefore, Shangguan Bao treated everyone with contempt, including his own family elders. If anyone dared to speak against him, he would refuse to speak to them for days, and would absolutely not help them if they encountered any trouble later. Over time, the family elders dared not utter a word, which fostered his lawless personality. He disregarded everyone except the family patriarch. Although he had died this time, few were truly saddened; their greater concern was the weakening of the family's status.
"Second Master, please come out for a moment. Something has happened outside. A small team wants to hunt here. They say this place is in a very good location and ask us to leave the areas that need to be sealed off open. They won't harm us..."
Just then, a voice came from the doorway, which infuriated Shangguan Qingyun. A member of the family had died here, and even the number two figure was being investigated in this place. And they still wanted to hunt here? Did they have no sense at all? Even an ordinary family wouldn't make such a request, showing absolutely no respect for the Shangguan family. Shangguan Qingyun was about to go out and teach them a lesson, but unfortunately, he probably wouldn't be able to. When the man came out of the tent, he saw some golden robes in the distance. It turned out that Mr. Lin Lei wanted to hunt here, so this matter was a different story.
Shangguan Qingyun greeted him somewhat awkwardly. His face shifted between anger and sullenness. Just moments before, he'd been incredibly arrogant in front of his subordinates, even uttering a harsh threat that anyone training here would pay the price. Now, facing his men, he was speechless. This man wasn't an ordinary person; he was one of the world's top five mages. Did he have the right to act tough with someone like that? Did the Shangguan family have the right? He'd actually slapped himself twice earlier, and the sting was intense. The others wouldn't blame Shangguan Qingyun, because everyone understood that no one dared to stand up straight and speak to a mage.
And believe it or not, there was another one a while ago, apparently not from our city, but a young powerhouse from another city. He not only clashed with a magician, but also had a duel with Mr. Yale. The most astonishing thing was the final result—this guy actually defeated Mr. Yale! Everyone found it hard to believe, but it really happened. In the end, the Magicians' Guild didn't do anything to him. After all, he's a genius that only comes along once in a millennium. It's said that the higher-ups in the Human Council are protecting him. If their second young master were like that, they would also have something to be proud of. Unfortunately, their second young master scolded him, saying that he was courting death.
“Mr. Shangguan, your men are truly formidable. I wanted to hunt here, but they claimed that this place was sealed off by your Shangguan family, so they must be held accountable for their words. That's the situation now. I'll say it again, can you really seal off this place?”
When Shangguan Qingyun arrived, the two men were already lying on the ground, seriously injured. Lin Lei was indeed different from other magicians; at least he didn't kill them, only injuring them. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be dead by now. For example, Mr. Yale didn't care who the other party was—a frightened man or a young master—in Mr. Yale's eyes, as long as someone dared to stop him, he would have to take their life.
“Mr. Lin Lei, it’s not that our Shangguan family is being domineering. It’s just that a murder has occurred here. Shangguan Bao of my family died here. Before the matter is fully investigated, we thought we should seal off this place. We absolutely did not mean to offend Lord Lin Lei…”
Shangguan Qingyun quickly tried to explain, but a fireball flew past him, and a person behind him turned to ashes...
