C20 Spell Master?
Unfortunately, there was no one in this world who could make Chu Tian lower his head and apologize.
Years ago, Divine Venerable Qing Yun used an indestructible Profound Yellow Combat Body to dominate the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, nearly causing the entire Immortal Court to collapse. Many powerful beings in the Immortal World knelt before him, pledging their allegiance and respecting him as their superior.
In Chu Tian's world, only others could apologize to him.
The strong make the rules; kings ignore them.
And Chu Tian was the king among the strong.
Even if he were wrong, Chu Tian wouldn't need to apologize to anyone. True power requires no explanation.
For those who wished to see Chu Tian bow, his only response was, "You're not worthy!"
"Mr. Chu, what are your thoughts?" Wuu Wenhao finally asked Chu Tian.
"What a joke! Apologize to a bunch of ignorant people? Do you really think that's possible?" Chu Tian sneered.
Ignorance isn't scary. What's terrifying is not knowing one's own ignorance.
"Ignorant? Fine! Let's hear your insights. If you can convince us, I'll uphold my earlier statement," Wuu Wenhao said.
"Me too," Wang Hongwei joined in.
Both Wuu Wenhao and Wang Hongwei were furious. This issue affected Wuu Wenhao's interests and Wang Hongwei's professional authority, so neither would let Chu Tian off easily.
Everyone else in the room was just there to watch the drama unfold.
"Your Jade Ruyi is just ordinary jade. The illusion of it being a precious treasure comes from a spell applied to it. Those deceived will think it's an incredible artifact, but in reality, it's worthless," Chu Tian explained.
"A spell? How could that be?" questioned one of the listeners.
Wuu Wenhao was taken aback, his expression turning serious.
Though the term "spell" was unfamiliar to the average person, the fact that Chu Tian mentioned it suggested he knew quite a bit.
Although Wuu Wenhao had never practiced any spells, he had spell masters under his command. Now, he couldn't help but glance at the two present in the room.
The two in question were elderly men dressed as Taoist priests.
These two masters should know if the Jade Ruyi had been cast with a spell.
One of the little old men coldly snorted, "You're simply boasting! I've practiced magical techniques for decades. Can't I tell if the Jade Ruyi has been enchanted?"
"Little friend, don't spout nonsense about things you don't understand. I won't argue with you due to your youthful ignorance. But if you deceive people in the name of magical techniques again, don't expect any leniency!"
"Magic is a vast and sacred field. You young people can't just make judgments about it as you please."
As the old man spoke, he stroked his beard, his expression arrogant and radiant, as if the cultivation of magic was an extraordinary honor.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this little old man might be considered an expert and worthy of respect. But in Chu Tian's eyes, he was simply too weak.
In his previous life in the Immortal Court, Chu Tian had not even respected individuals of Divine Venerable status.
Because he was stronger than them.
If he could defeat a Divine Venerable with a single slap, why should he offer them any respect?
"What a joke! If you can't detect the spell, does that mean it doesn't exist? Your inability to see it just proves that you're worthless," Chu Tian stated bluntly.
"How dare you insult me like this? Do you understand the consequences of insulting a respected master of magical techniques?" The old man shouted, visibly angered and embarrassed in front of everyone.
"A respected master of magical techniques? With your level of cultivation, you consider yourself noble? In my eyes, you're not even worth an ant," Chu Tian retorted mercilessly.
"What did you say? Fine!" The little old man glared angrily at Chu Tian. "Since you underestimate my abilities, let's have a match to determine who's stronger!"
"I won't compete with you," Chu Tian replied, shaking his head.
"What, are you scared?"
"Wrong! You're just not worthy of fighting me," Chu Tian countered.
"You're utterly shameless! Today, I'll make you witness the power of magical techniques and understand that masters like me cannot be insulted!"
After shouting, the old man waved his right hand, causing a buzzing sound in the air. The atmosphere in the room immediately became eerie.
The air grew heavy and viscous, ultimately forming water and creating waves.
He managed to condense air into water, a feat that could only be performed by gods!
Immediately, a bystander exclaimed in admiration, "Master Wenshui is really amazing!"
"With such an exquisite technique on display, I think he's not far from reaching the realm of the Half-Immortal!"
"He truly deserves the title of Master Wenshui! I've seen a miracle in my lifetime and now have no regrets."
These wealthy merchants and prominent figures were essentially ordinary people. At most, they had a few skilled bodyguards who hadn't even mastered Inner Strength.
As for Theurgy Masters, not only were they unaffordable to hire, but they were also rarely seen.
Wei Wenshui, who was casting the spell, and Wei Wenshan were both Theurgy Masters.
Both were named by the master of their sect and were fellow disciples.
As soon as Wei Wenshui unleashed his "Divine Skill," the crowd's gaze shifted to Chu Tian with sympathy. They thought this naive young man had foolishly provoked a Theurgy Master and was doomed.
If Wei Wenshui were genuinely angered, he could behead Chu Tian in an instant, leaving only his headless body behind.
Given the number of witnesses, Wei Wenshui was unlikely to act so extremely, but Chu Tian was still bound to get hurt.
An honest apology could have resolved this, but Chu Tian chose to preserve his dignity. Now he was in trouble.
At this moment, no one thought Chu Tian would win, except for Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin, on the other hand, became somewhat excited and expectant.
She was aware of how terrifying Chu Tian was, but she had no idea how powerful he truly was. Even her grandfather was in the dark about Chu Tian's capabilities.
She had heard of the reputations of Wei Wenshui and Wei Wenshan. In the entire Jiangzhou Province, few were as formidable as they were.
Had their Spiritual Spring Sect not been located in Yungang City, thereby allowing Wuu Wenhao to recruit them first, the Ye family would have long since welcomed them into their fold.
Now that Wei Wenshui aimed to attack Chu Tian, she saw an opportunity to gauge Chu Tian's true strength.
In Ye Tianxin's heart, if Chu Tian didn't lose too horribly, she could accept it.
After all, Chu Tian was still so young and had an unlimited future ahead of him, whereas Wei Wenshui was already past 50.
Under Wei Wenshui's precise control, a galloping sound emanated from the water current in the void as it carried an unparalleled force toward Chu Tian.
If hit, Chu Tian's bones would likely shatter.
In the blink of an eye, the water wave arrived in front of Chu Tian, its surging air making his clothes flutter.
However, Chu Tian just stood there, motionless, as if paralyzed by the spectacle before him.
