"It's really interesting. It seems that this kid has a good understanding. It's not easy for him to successfully practice such a high-level martial art in such a short time, even with the help of external forces. What's even more rare is that he is willing to protect my little sister with all his heart. Very good!"

Hua Luzhu was very surprised and satisfied after listening to Wu Liu's report.

"Your cultivation has not yet reached the ninth level. You must be careful when following him. Don't get discovered. You don't understand the world of geniuses. Don't take it lightly."

"Yes, the host!"

What they didn't know was that Feng Huan had actually discovered someone hiding nearby, but he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend. So after severely injuring the two people, he did not take the next action and quickly left with Hua Ziyun.

……

The next day, Hua Ziyun came to Feng Huan's courtyard early in the morning and pulled Feng Huan out without thinking.

"I heard that Yingkeju has a lot of delicious snacks and you can hear a lot of interesting rumors. Come with me and have some fun!"

……

For the next two days, Feng Huan didn't practice much. He accompanied Hua Ziyun to wander around the imperial capital, walking through almost all the streets and alleys.

As soon as the two of them came back that day, Wu Liu, who was waiting at the door of Swallow Tower, immediately stepped forward and said to them, "Miss Second, Mr. Bing, the owner of the tower invites you." Knowing that they were out for fun, Wu Liu did not follow them.

"What does sister want from us?"

"This subordinate is not very clear."

"Okay! Big Ice Cube, let's go to my sister's place to see if there's anything important. She also asked Wu Liu to wait for us here."

"Sister, we are back!"

"You still remember to come back. I haven't even seen you these days. You have a new friend and don't even want your sister anymore!" Hua Luzhu deliberately emphasized the word "friend".

"No way! Who told you not to play with others?"

"Did you have a conflict with others in the Central Square two days ago, and injured two guards?" Hua Luzhu asked Feng Huan.

"That's what happened, why?"

"You probably don't know who that person is. He is the second young master of the City Guard Mansion, the second most powerful force in the imperial capital."

Although Feng Huandang knew that he was Huang Mazi's follower, he didn't know his specific family background.

"so what?"

"Originally it was just some conflicts, and a few people were injured. It's nothing, it happens from time to time in the Imperial Capital. The strange thing is that the second young master was killed in the City Guard House last night, and there was a water-attributed true essence left in his body."

"So they immediately thought it was you who did it. This morning, not long after you left, the chief steward of the City Guard House came to ask for your help, but I pushed him back. They didn't dare to mess with our people from Yanzilou. But in the afternoon, the third young master of the City Guard House came to deliver a challenge, saying that he wanted to fight you to the death in the city's fighting arena. No matter what the result is, the City Guard House will no longer pursue this matter in the future." Hua Luzhu finished speaking, staring at Feng Huan with her beautiful eyes, not wanting to miss any expression. "In this case, it's difficult for me to make the decision. After all, under normal circumstances, such a challenge between young people depends on the willingness of both parties, and the Demon Sealing Ceremony is approaching, and there have been many similar challenges before. You can also choose not to accept the challenge, but..."

"Why should we accept his challenge? It's so boring. Just ignore him. Do you think he will dare to come to our door? Big Ice Cube, I want to go to the garden in the west of the city to play again tomorrow!"

"Fight to the death!"

These three words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Feng Huan's head, shattering the peace and tranquility of the past few days.

In the past few days, he accompanied Hua Ziyun to play in the imperial capital. Although he was just accompanying her, he felt like he was back to the carefree days, as if Wushuang and Pianpian were still by his side. The experiences, pain and hatred of the past two years were temporarily thrown aside, and he was not in a hurry to practice.

People always yearn for an easy and comfortable life, let alone a sixteen-year-old boy.

The three words "life and death battle" brought him back to reality. They reminded him of the killing in the wild mountains and forests and his own responsibilities. Feng Huan instantly broke out in a cold sweat!

"When?"

"Tomorrow at 3:45."

"Okay, please tell the City Guards that I will be there on time to fight." Feng Huan said and turned away.

"Big Ice Cube, why did you just agree to that? You're so stupid!" Hua Ziyun said as she was about to chase after him, but was stopped by her sister.

"Little sister, he is different from you. He has his own path to follow. It's ok for him to stop and enjoy the scenery occasionally, but he can't just enjoy himself all day like you do."

"All you people do is practice, practice, practice. Even if you practice to immortality, what's the point of being a human being!"

"Yeah! What's the point?" Hua Luzhu repeated this sentence, staring blankly at Hua Ziyun's figure who left in disappointment, "Many times, we have no choice!"

After Feng Huan returned to his room, he began to meditate with his eyes closed. However, he was unable to enter the cultivation state right away.

"Although a comfortable life can make people happy, it also wears down one's will!" Feng Huan sighed.

He knew that he must not lose tomorrow's battle, as losing would mean death, so he had to be fully prepared. He could have chosen not to fight, but if he retreated this time, his path to cultivation would be cut short. Cultivation is about moving forward courageously, and is full of unexpected events. If he even gave in to a challenge from his peers, his heart for martial arts would surely be tarnished.

On the second day, at 3:30 pm, Feng Huan came to the fighting arena accompanied by the two Hua sisters and Wu Liu. Hua Ziyun didn't want to watch the fighting, but was worried that Feng Huan might get into trouble, so she followed him.

"If the big ice block can't be defeated, I will say something to rescue him and not let him be killed like this. But I heard that the fighting arena is guarded by a formation and others can't intervene. If it doesn't work, I will use the trump card my father gave me. I don't believe that I can't break a small protective formation." Hua Ziyun kept thinking along the way.

When they arrived, the audience was already surrounded by people, talking and guessing the outcome of the match. Even the big and small gambling houses in the city had opened handicaps to bet on the outcome of the two. This was also considered an extra pastime in the imperial capital. Whenever there was a fight, someone would definitely make a fortune.

A large group of city guards were standing guard nearby, under the pretext of maintaining order in the arena. The third young master of the city guards had been waiting on the stage with his eyes closed. When he heard Feng Huan and his group coming, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of disdain.

Feng Huan had heard of this Third Young Master before. He was not like the dandy officials like them. He was a true genius. It was said that he had opened up all six orifices and had broken through to the Tongliu realm at an early age. So he looked down on anyone of his age in the Imperial Capital, not to mention that Feng Huan was just a small fry in the unknown Yanzi Tower.

"Come up and die!"

"I'm going up first. Remember to help me place bets at the casino in the Priest's Mansion and earn some money." Feng Huan said to Hua Ziyun before going on stage. There is no way. The present is different from the past. It is not easy to live without money!

The Third Young Master's weapon is a red copper stick, about six feet long and as thick as a child's arm. Combined with his burly figure, each of his strikes is powerful and heavy. In addition to the power of his true essence, his physical strength cannot be ignored.

Feng Huan used basic sword techniques and the cross-splitting technique alternately, and was slightly at a disadvantage in the close combat.

The Third Young Master's cultivation has reached the third level of the Tongliu Realm. His true essence strength is comparable to Feng Huan's, but when his physical strength is added, he is obviously stronger than Feng Huan.

"It seems that the third young master of the City Guard is still stronger. Fortunately, I bought him."

"That may not be the case. We are just starting now and are still in the warm-up phase. Haven't you seen that they haven't released their true energy yet? I'm just betting on an underdog. If this Ice Thorn wins, I'll be rich."

All kinds of discussions from the audience reached Hua Ziyun's ears, making her already unhappy mood even more irritated.
