Chapter 200 Simulation: Goodness Like Water
Bang!
Feng Qianzang was sent flying out of the Battle Platform.
At that moment, his appearance was extremely wretched, his entire jaw dislocated as if his jawbone had been completely shattered, utterly miserable.
Fortunately, as soon as one participant left the Battle Platform, the Taixu Illusory Realm would descend healing powers, allowing both contestants to recover as before.
"This Su Jie, truly hateful!"
Feng Qianzang clenched his teeth, cursing inwardly.
In the battle, he had merely assumed the form of an Auspicious Beast to flaunt his family's wealth and to disturb Su Jie's mind, not expecting it to provoke Su Jie's wrath.
As a result, he couldn't withstand even a single move before succumbing to defeat.
"Thank you for the lesson, senior."
Su Jie expressed his thanks, but inwardly cursed: Show off your wealth? I'll show you how!
Feng Qianzang indeed deserved to be called an Auspicious Beast, having a mouth but no anus, able to swallow everything without expulsion, attracting wealth and treasures from all directions.
Born an Auspicious Beast, but when combined with Feng Qianzang's true form, it accentuated the "intake without outflow," striving to swallow all the wealth of the world into his belly.
His evolved spiritual form radiated a bright gold and silver light, transforming into a sea of jewels.
Su Jie struggled to maintain his composure because of this, thus his attack was somewhat heavier.
"Feng Qianzang actually lost too!"
"That's normal, he is the least combat-skilled among the three brothers. In terms of fighting prowess, he's even less capable than Feng Hengyi, who at least has the ferociously menacing form."
"True, both beasts are ferocious, but only the Auspicious Beast, which symbolizes attracting wealth and treasures, is not adept at fighting. Feng Qianzang cultivated it essentially to elevate the Feng Family's heritage, but fighting is left to his two brothers."
"So it's Feng Yuxuan's turn next, right?"
"That, I look forward to."
After stepping down from the platform, Feng Hengyi mocked, "I thought the second brother was so formidable, it turns out he's not even a match for Su Jie."
Feng Qianzang's face was grim, he didn't say a word.
"Shut up,"
Feng Yuxuan lowered his voice, admonishing Feng Hengyi, "We're all brothers, there's no need to mock each other."
Feng Hengyi stayed no longer on the topic, only said to Feng Yuxuan, "So, big brother, do you have any good plans? The opponent is aiming to defeat all three of us back-to-back. Are you confident in winning the final match?"
If the Feng brothers were defeated in sequence, then they would truly lose face.
Though the inner school students wouldn't take it to heart because one of Minglun's teachings is about morality.
Shame is followed by the courage to do better.
It's OK to lose, there is no one who can keep winning continuously.
To ridicule the defeated is considered disgraceful by Minglun students.
Their education promotes holistic development, though not necessarily training all-rounders, it is particularly rigorous about moral fiber.

Regardless of actual outcomes, at least within Minglun's inner faculty, no one dared to display contempt openly.
Yet, the Feng brothers couldn't get over this internal hurdle themselves.
Could their inner pride really be shattered by a pauper?
Unforgivable!
Feng Yuxuan's face also darkened as he said in a low voice, "I know my limits."
By now, in the corridors of Huan Ji Building, students were observing the Feng brothers, who seemed to be discussing something, speculating about the specific situation.
"Isn't Feng Yuxuan scared?"
"No wonder, if he loses too, then he's been defeated three in a row by Su Jie."
"Although their spirits are usually steadfast, winning or losing won't cause their spirits to degrade, but the Feng family is proud and cannot accept defeat, naturally they are wary."
"By the way, how did Su Jie train? When he first entered the inner school, his life force was only around 1.5 or 1.6, right? Now, half a year later, it has reached 7?"
"A freak."
"It must relate to the previous Embryonic Breathing, like a legendary enlightenment."
"..."
Listening to the noisy sounds around his ears, Feng Yuxuan's expression was extremely unsightly.
If he really went up, perhaps he truly couldn't win...
Wait a second!
Why would he think like that?
He, afraid?!
Damn!
Feng Yuxuan clenched his fists.
This was supposed to be a friendly event with the inner school students organized by the Feng family, but Su Jie had unexpectedly emerged.
At this moment, Feng Yuxuan had entirely blamed Su Jie, completely forgetting that he had previously underestimated Su Jie.
Feng Qianzang and Feng Hengyi were also silent, just staring intensely at Feng Yuxuan.
Now, the hope of the Feng family rested entirely on Feng Yuxuan.
His victory or defeat would affect the honor of the Feng family, their inner sense of honor.
Although the three brothers didn't get along well, nor could they truly be called cordial siblings, if Feng Yuxuan really lost, their collective pride would be shattered beyond recognition.
"Yuxuan, you really look miserable."
Just then, Jiang Wudao came over, his derisive sneer faint, "To think you're scared because of a freshman."
"Jiang Wudao!"
With a deep voice, Feng Yuxuan's cold eyes seemed capable of freezing everything: "What are you doing here? We certainly didn't invite you to join our organizers."
"Organizers?" Jiang Wudao scoffed coldly, "You've almost been beaten to a pulp by Su Jie."
"It seems like you have a feud with Su Jie, right?" Feng Yuxuan didn't want to bicker with Jiang Wudao and got straight to the point.
"Now that you know, you should understand why I came here," the smile at the corner of Jiang Wudao's mouth disappeared, as sharp as frost, piercing to the bone.
"To fight on my behalf?" asked Feng Yuxuan.
"Exactly."
Jiang Wudao looked towards Su Jie standing on the Battle Platform, "I want to meet this little brute personally, and moreover, I think our two corporations could actually cooperate."
The latter was the main purpose.
Since Jiang Corporation and Feng Corporation had no substantive competition, one in the south and one in the north, although both had some industries in both regions, there was no conflict.
If the two families united, they would inevitably create greater profits.
However—
"I refuse."
Feng Yuxuan rejected the offer outright.
If Jiang Wudao took action, this 'martial friendship meeting' would truly become a joke.
The protagonists were supposed to be the Feng Family's three brothers!
If they lost the match, they would lose merely their pride, but if Jiang Wudao intervened, what the three brothers would lose would not just be their pride, but their dignity.
Especially since the event was hosted by Feng Corporation in Minglun.
How could they let someone from Jiang Corporation take the stage?
"Are you sure?" Jiang Wudao's face turned serious, "Don't forget, if you lose, the pride of the Feng Corporation's three brothers will be completely shattered."
"Then let it be shattered. From destruction comes strength," Feng Yuxuan proudly stated, "At least that's better than cooperating with someone like you who wants to take advantage of the situation."
"Is that so? Then I wish you instant success."
Jiang Wudao, cold and solemn, turned around. His face turned exceedingly grim as he moved away from the Battle Platform, seemingly intending to leave the area.
"Big brother, maybe we should agree with Jiang Wudao, considering his enmity with Su Jie," Feng Hengyi watched Jiang Wudao's retreating figure and slowly spoke his thoughts.
"This time I agree, Jiang Wudao might also lose, and then the loss will be on his face," Feng Qianzang stared at his eldest brother, "Let him bear the risk."
But Feng Yuxuan scoffed coldly, "Do you think he's that benevolent? Even if he has a grudge against Su Jie, he wouldn't choose this moment to take action. He must have other motives, so better not to interact too much with him."
"Plus, he has been very busy recently, often being called over by Ms. Zhang Tong for business matters at the Hypnotist's Pavilion... "
"And Su Jie, who works part-time at the Hypnotist's Pavilion, maybe Ms. Zhang Tong is intentionally keeping Jiang Wudao busy to prevent him from troubling Su Jie."
Feng Qianzang frowned deeply, "If that's the case, the relationship between Su Jie and Zhang Tong cannot be measured by common standards."
Feng Yuxuan said, "That Zhang Tong, she loves to invest in talented youths, especially someone from a modest background like Su Jie."
After speaking, without waiting for Feng Qianzang or Feng Hengyi to say anything more, he headed alone towards the Battle Platform.
After all, he had been delayed for quite some time.
"Su Jie, you are very talented. I extend my invitation to you again, would you like to join Feng Corporation?" Under the public eye, Feng Yuxuan showed his most sincere side to Su Jie, "If you agree, in the future you could be the vice president of Feng Corporation."
"Sorry, I just entered Minglun Martial School and haven't thought about the future yet," Su Jie responded calmly.
"That's really a pity."
Feng Yuxuan sighed, raised his right hand, and with a forceful squeeze, his spiritual power burst forth with a powerful aura.
This is aura.
Spiritual cultivation involves allowing the spirit to interfere with reality, but according to the spiritual cultivation system published by Minglun, this cannot be directly achieved before enlightenment.
This requires a transition, that is, the spirit activating the energy within the body, and the energy then manifesting through the body.
Those who are proficient in this path can build various fantastic visions with their spirit and even allow these visions to attack reality.
Previously, the manifestations by Feng Hengyi and Feng Qianzang, such as jealousy and the mythical beasts, were exactly like this. Although they were spiritual fantasies, they were composed of real aura, which can only be barely executed in the Stable Realm.
Although their vitality was suppressed to 7 on the Battle Platform, their actual realm was Stable, so naturally, they could perform.
But what Feng Yuxuan couldn't understand was how Su Jie managed it.
Even if he had entered the Embryonic Breathing Realm earlier, his actual strength was not truly at the Embryonic Breathing Realm level; it must have been akin to a sudden enlightenment, or perhaps he relied on some deceptive treasure.
Yet, Su Jie managed it.
This was very strange.
However, Feng Yuxuan clearly didn't have time to ponder further, because Su Jie had already made his move.
With his body's airflow surging and spirit merging with energy, he evolved a scene of a refreshing lotus pond. It seemed as though the entire Battle Platform was covered with rippling pond water, green duckweed gently floating on it, occasionally visited by golden-scaled fish.
Feng Yuxuan's expression changed abruptly, and he hastily gathered his aura into the form of a ferocious mythical beast.
But that ferocious appearance could not break free.
"Supreme goodness is like water."
Su Jie, like a mortal ascending to immortality, lightly touched the surface of the lotus pond he had conjured, creating ripples around him.
Hum—
The punch-induced ripples touched the form of the mythical beast, lifting endless splashes of water, transforming into streams that trapped the beast...
