The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

This person's appearance was indeed extraordinary. Although there were many martial arts masters at the peak of their level present, they all paled in comparison to him.

However, seeing Wang Tianlin's smug expression, many people's faces darkened. If he had truly invited a Di Xuan master to oversee things today, then their competitors' lives were certainly going to be difficult.

"Patriarch Wang, you said today that a master of profound knowledge will be assisting us. We have all come to offer our congratulations, having long admired your name. We wonder if Patriarch Wang could allow such a master to demonstrate his skills so that we may also have a chance to broaden our horizons?"

One person said this, and immediately a chorus of agreement followed.

"Yes, Patriarch Wang, you must grant us this small wish today, otherwise we will all go back with regrets."

Although that's what everyone says on the surface, everyone knows that if Wang Tianlin dares to lie to everyone today, then the Wang Mansion is destined to be anything but peaceful, and tomorrow Wang Tianlin's name will spread throughout the city, making him a complete laughingstock.

Because they heard that Wu Xuan was coming, many powerful forces brought their most treasured martial arts masters with them. If Wang Tianlin was lying, it was hard to guarantee that these masters wouldn't do something irrational.

"Don't worry, everyone. I, Wang, always keep my word. How could I use such a clumsy lie to deceive you? Since you all insist on seeing it, I will sincerely ask Master Huang on your behalf."

After saying that, Wang Tianlin poured himself a glass of wine and raised it to Huang Shi, who was sitting in the main seat: "Master Huang, I know you don't care about our small family, but I still dare to ask you to show me your skills. I will be extremely grateful."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shi, who was in the main seat, took the wine glass from Wang Tianlin's hand.

"Patriarch Wang, you flatter me. You and my young master are on good terms, so it's only right that I help you. Since these people want to see it, I'll grant them their wish."

Then, Huang Shi stepped forward and shouted at a figure in mid-air, "Where is my strength?"

The sound was like a thunderclap, splitting rocks and piercing the clouds. Although it was some distance away from the people drinking below, it seemed to explode right next to their ears, like rolling thunder, shaking their minds and spirits.

Then, Huang Shi stepped onto the floor, and from Huang Shi's right foot, the ground expanded outwards in concentric circles as if covered by a spider web. When it reached the feet of the crowd, many people jumped up in surprise, and the power seemed to have not diminished at all.

Upon reaching the main hall, the entire building began to tremble slightly, with soil, stones, and debris falling from above. Several birds, seeing this, barked wildly towards the hall, but were struck by several falling rocks and immediately bled profusely.

Only a few martial arts masters remained seated, secretly using their true energy to neutralize the force as it arrived, so their area remained largely unchanged.

Upon seeing this, Huang Shi smiled faintly. He then stomped his right foot again, causing a large hole to appear under the table where Wu Kui, who had been sitting upright and seemingly oblivious, was sitting. Had they not reacted quickly enough, they would have fallen down along with the table.

This time, even the martial arts champions broke out in a cold sweat and dared not be careless anymore.

The difference between Wu Kui and Wu Xuan is that the latter has already mastered the world, although he is only at the entry level. But he is an insurmountable force for those of them who have not yet reached the threshold.

......... ........ 0

Below the level of Wu Xuan, all are mere ants! Although this statement is somewhat absolute, there is still some truth to it.

"So it was Wu Xuan in person! We were very rude!"

"Wu Xuan above, please accept our bow."

Immediately, everyone who had just been thinking of retaliating now wore respectful expressions, and had no desire to resist whatsoever.

As for those proud martial arts champions, although they were powerful figures in other places, they all lowered their heads slightly at this moment. In this world, martial arts are the most respected, and since they were inferior in skill, they had to accept this reality.

As for Wang Tianlin, a hint of smugness and satisfaction flashed in his eyes when he saw the people below.

If it weren't for Fang Yun slowing down his plans, he would have already accomplished them. The day Huang Shi and he agreed on was today. If Fang Yun dared to come, he could ask Huang Shi to kill him on the spot, which would put his mind at ease.

However, Fang Yun is probably not a fool. Now that he knows Wu Xuan is here, he won't dare to show his face again.

Chapter 703 Martial Profound Yellow Stone

Although Fang Yun is very strong, and even defeated the Flying Bat, so what?

The Flying Bat was only at the half-step Earth Profound realm, and he was deeply poisoned. Even if he was at the half-step Martial Profound realm, he was the weakest among them.

Fang Yun's defeat of him was nothing special. On the contrary, Huang Shi was a veteran expert from a powerful clan, possessing incredibly profound true strength, a genuine Earth Profound Realm expert, far superior to someone like Fang Yun, who was only a half-baked practitioner.

Now that he saw that everyone had submitted, Wang Tianlin naturally wouldn't miss this good opportunity, so he immediately stepped forward and raised his wine glass.

"Everyone, the reason I've gathered you all here today, besides the banquet, is that I want to form an alliance with you all so that we can work together in business in the future."

When Wang Tianlin said this, many people below felt a sinking feeling in their hearts and began to murmur slightly.

As expected, Wang Tianlin then said, "According to my previous suggestion, we can no longer do business indiscriminately. Our Wang family must be clear about this, and you must be clear about it too. Only in this way can we expand our business together in the future."

"Therefore, starting today, all previous contracts between the Wang family and you are hereby nullified. From now on, I will determine the profit-sharing ratio based on the closeness between you and our Wang family. For example, those who have no dealings with us at all may receive a maximum of 20%, while the highest may be 50% or even 60%."

Wang Tianlin's words immediately caused an uproar. Someone couldn't help but say, "So, we have to work ourselves to the bone to get the same profit as before? What's the point of doing this? Are you just treating us like fools?"

"Yes, in that case, they might claim to be doing business, but aren't they just robbing people?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianlin's eyes turned cold. Huang Shi, naturally understanding Wang Tianlin's meaning, immediately said loudly, "That's how the Wang family head does business. Whoever has the greater ability gets more. It's not up to you."

When Huang Shi spoke, his voice also contained a trace of true power. When the people who had just spoken spoke, they all stiffened, obviously suffering internal injuries, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"you……"

Everyone was angry but dared not speak out. Although the matter was obviously unfair, no one dared to stand up and say it out loud. After all, Wu Xuan was right there, and if they really angered him, their own lives would be in danger.

"Alright, do you have any other objections? If not, let's go upstairs and sign the contract again."

As he spoke, Wang Tianlin waved his hand behind him. Several children had already prepared pens and ink, waiting for the merchants to come forward and sign their names. Although the merchants were furious, there was nothing they could do.

Just then, a voice came from mid-air.

"I'm sorry, I disagree."

Upon hearing the voice, Wang Tianlin's face immediately turned pale, but he quickly returned to normal.

When Wang Tianlin saw Fang Yun and the other person appear in front of him, he sneered inwardly.

This kid is really courting death. With Wu Xuan here today, does he really think he has much room to maneuver?

"Young Master Fang, I thought you had already run away. I didn't expect you to still be here. I originally thought you were a person who knew when to advance and retreat, but now it seems that you are not."

Wang Tianlin said.

"Haha, I think it's much better to be clueless than fickle and treacherous..." Fang Yun's face showed a hint of disdain. "I've forgiven you and spared your life time and time again, and yet you still try to plot against me? Wouldn't someone like you be a disaster in business?"

Fang Yun's words resonated with many people below, but they were too embarrassed to say it out loud.

As for Wang Tianlin, a look of embarrassment and annoyance appeared on his face.

"Kid, I told you not to come and cause trouble, but you insisted on coming anyway, so don't blame me today."

After saying that, Wang Tianlin gave Huang Shi a wink. Huang Shi, being a Martial Profound Realm expert, naturally didn't take Fang Yun, a nobody, seriously. He immediately broke off a stone pillar in the main hall and kicked it at Fang Yun.

The stone looked incredibly heavy, and after being kicked by Huang Shi, it was like a small rocket. Everyone watched it whiz by, and felt the wind stinging their faces.

"Alas, what a pity for this young master. Even if he has a deep-seated hatred for Wang Tianlin, he should have been more restrained at this time."

Although it was just a rock, many martial arts masters present did not fully utilize their 1.3 grip power. The force on it was too great; if they were hit, they would be shattered to pieces.

When Fang Yun tried to take the hit head-on, the aftershock of the stone was so strong that his internal organs trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fang Yun then casually tossed the stone aside.

"He actually caught it?"

Many people were shocked, never expecting that Fang Yun could survive under this rock.

"It's no use. Those below the Martial Profound level are all ants. Prepare to die."

A cruel glint flashed across Wang Tianlin's face.

Chapter 704 Arrogant and Overbearing

Although it blocked Huang Shi's attack, which surprised everyone present, it didn't do much good.

It's quite possible that Huang Shi's attack was just a casual strike, while Fang Yun had to use his full strength to receive it. The difference between the two is obvious.

Many onlookers were looking at Fang Yun with a hint of regret, after all, for Fang Yun at his age, having such courage and strength was already quite remarkable.

But no one present dared to plead for him; under Huang Shi's tyrannical power, everyone remained silent as if trembling in fear.

"Kid, since you refuse to listen to reason and insist on challenging me, then today I'll show you what happens when you offend me."

As Wang Tianlin spoke, he bowed to Huang Shi and said, "Mr. Huang, please, there's no need to hold back."

Huang Shi nodded slightly upon hearing this, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"It's a pity you're already 19, kid. If you trained for another ten years, you might actually be able to exchange blows with me, but you'll never see that day."

Huang Shi then squatted down and punched the ground. A shockwave suddenly rose from the ground and struck Fang Yun directly.

The shockwave was so fast that it was already in front of Fang Yun before he could react. He quickly dodged and staggered away. At this moment, Huang Shi's lips curled up slightly.

Then, a huge, yellowish-brown stone spike suddenly shot out from under Fang Yun's feet. Fang Yun was thrown backward by the force and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Wang Hai, who had been standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and quickly jumped over to help Fang Yun up.

"Young Master Fang, are you alright?"

A hint of worry and a trace of guilt flashed in Wang Hai's eyes.

If it weren't for him, Fang Yun wouldn't have had to get involved in this mess; he should have been the one to bear all of this.

Just then, as Huang Shi was about to make another move, Wang Hai suddenly shouted, "Enough! Wang Tianlin, don't push your luck! When my father was alive, the Wang family didn't treat guests like this!"

When Wang Hai said this, everyone present gasped in surprise, and even Wang Tianlin's pupils shrank.

Then, Wang Hai stepped forward and slowly took off his cloak, revealing his true appearance.

"It's you!"

Wang Tianlin was the first to recognize him. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, he had watched Wang Hai grow up and immediately knew who the person was.

"Didn't you say my father was seriously ill and there was no one to inherit his estate? I'm telling you now, I, Wang Hai, am still alive."

Wang Hai's words caused an uproar in the hall. They all knew that Wang Tianshan had an only son named Wang Hai, but they hadn't seen him for many years. Those who didn't know the situation thought that Wang Hai had gone far away or had died.
