I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 1756: Chapter 190: Witnessing Righteousness in Trivial Matters

At this moment, at Red Cloud Ferry Crossing

Shi Muzhi, the master of Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, faced Commander Meng Jiao of Marshal Star Pavilion. Anyone would see this as a battle between equals.

Even though Shi Muzhi had never participated in duels like the Hero’s Arena, with his peak Fierce Realm cultivation and the secret techniques bestowed upon him by the Dragon Valley Mao Sect, he was already renowned in Yancang, bearing the revered title “Master of Four Directions.” His fame rivaled that of any grandmaster.

People say fame precedes ability. Even though Shi Muzhi lacked significant combat achievements, the martial arts world of Longzhou considered him a formidable figure, ranking him among the elite titled warriors.

In comparison, Meng Jiao from Unparalleled City was a complete nobody. While he might have some modest fame near Red Cloud Mountain, most people in Longzhou had never heard of his name.

Even if one were to inquire through Wind Media, Meng Jiao’s sole noteworthy achievement was participating in the Hero’s Arena years ago. Despite a commendable performance, he eventually encountered a school that countered his toxic techniques, leaving him far from entering the ranks of titled warriors.

Given this, when these two individuals prepared to clash, people naturally favored Shi Muzhi. Not to mention, Shi Muzhi’s “Master of Four Directions” was backed by a menacing entourage of tamers and ferocious beasts. It seemed clear that Unparalleled City’s side should feel concerned.

Thus, the tamers from Ten Thousand Beasts Manor were delighted to see this presumptuous fool courting death. They merely directed their beasts to push back Unparalleled City’s soldiers.

The warriors of Marshal Star Pavilion and the guards were mostly mere mortals and were powerless against the relentless charge of the beasts. They had no choice but to cede their positions.

With one side advancing and the other retreating, the scene transformed into an empty ring surrounded by beasts, with Meng Jiao and Shi Muzhi staring each other down at its center. Around them stood leisurely tamers and the anxious, desperate warriors of Unparalleled City.

Just witnessing such a scene made outsiders certain that the surrounded Meng Jiao was doomed.

But the fascinating thing about martial arts lies in the unknown; until someone makes the first strike, all guesses about strength remain mere speculation.

Does reputation equate to power?
