Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 1042 - 1041: Giving You Face

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1041: Giving You Face

In fact, Zhao Dongming is not only one of the top three young talents in the Capital City, but he also has the loudest reputation among them.

The other two among the top three are members of major families, who have been practicing martial arts from a young age with exceptional conditions. Whether it’s the time spent training or the resources for cultivation, they far surpass him.

In such circumstances, they were still overtaken by Zhao Dongming later on. Hence, many people believe that given time, Zhao Dongming will undoubtedly become the leading figure among the younger generation!

However, despite this, Zhao Dongming’s ability to command influence in the Capital City remains weak.

Firstly, this individual is truly too ugly, and there are very few dandies willing to associate with him. Most of these dandies in the Capital City care greatly about appearances, and someone as unsightly as Zhao Dongming naturally doesn’t fit in with the group.

Furthermore, Zhao Dongming has always been practicing under the Martial Champion, seldom meddling in external affairs. He rarely partakes in the power divides within the dandy circles of the Capital City, so not many people rely on him. After all, following someone who stays out of worldly affairs doesn’t promise much of a future.

Thirdly, it’s the issue of Zhao Dongming’s status within the Zhao Family. Although he is currently the strongest in the Venerable Realm of the Zhao Family, in reality, many in the family don’t acknowledge him. That is to say, the number of people truly supporting him within the Zhao Family isn’t high.

Under these circumstances, one might say that Zhao Dongming barely has the support of the Zhao Family background at all. In that case, does he still count as a dandy of the Capital City?

When all these factors combine, it results in Zhao Dongming’s relatively low influence despite having joined the advanced classes of Qinghe Academy. There aren’t many who follow him. But Fang Ping, whose strength falls far short of his, has gathered more people around him than Zhao Dongming has, and that is where the gap between the two lies.

Zhao Dongming’s unexpected arrival here was something Su Yang had not anticipated. Moreover, Zhao Dongming had even taken action to save that young man. What was he planning to do?

Zhao Dongming, directly called out by Su Yang, was also somewhat surprised. However, he quickly regained his composure and nodded slowly, "Student Su is indeed as intelligent as people say, unmatched in strategy!"

Su Yang smiled, "Zhao Dongming, no need for such formalities. As far as I know, you and Fang Ping aren’t close, right? What are you planning? Taking advantage of Fang Ping’s downfall and seizing the opportunity to take over his followers?"

Zhao Dongming’s brow furrowed slightly, as Su Yang’s guess was spot on. He did indeed have this intention, planning to take over Fang Ping’s followers in the wake of Fang Ping’s dire defeat. Otherwise, given the poor relationship between him and Fang Ping, why would he intervene in Fang Ping’s affairs?

He just hadn’t expected Su Yang to be so astute, discerning his motives so quickly.

Of course, he couldn’t openly admit this. He took a deep breath, and calmly said, "Student Su has misunderstood, I merely heard there was a martial arts challenge here tonight, so I wanted to come and enjoy the spectacle."

"Oh?" Su Yang smiled, "That means this matter has nothing to do with you? In that case, I’ll continue."

Su Yang said this, shifting his gaze directly to the young man who had escaped.

The young man shivered in fear; he had witnessed Su Yang’s dominance firsthand, managing to fight against Zhao Dongming without falling short. If Su Yang made a move against him, he would have no power to resist at all.

Therefore, at this moment he had no time to think about anything else and could only blurt out frantically, "Zhao... Young Master Zhao, save me, save me... Don’t forget, we have shared a meal together... "

This young man previously wouldn’t have given Zhao Dongming the time of day; their so-called meal together was merely sitting at the same table and nothing more, with no particularly deep interaction. But now, he had no other choice but to seek Zhao Dongming’s protection.

Zhao Dongming’s eyes lit up and he said, "Aren’t you Wang Shao!"

The young man was overjoyed, Zhao Dongming actually remembered him; this was a good omen.

"It’s me, indeed it’s me!" the young man replied hurriedly.

"Indeed, it’s you!" Zhao Dongming nodded slowly, "Speaking of which, we’ve known each other for quite some time, it’s been a long time since we’ve met. Come, let’s go back later and have a good drink together!"

With these words, he had directly pulled the young man to his side. Now, it was inappropriate for Su Yang to make a move. The young man was a friend of Zhao Dongming’s side; if Su Yang acted against him, could Zhao Dongming remain indifferent?

The young man no longer had the time to think about anything else, his expression one of great joy as he immediately ran to Zhao Dongming’s side. He also gave Su Yang a glance, feeling much more at ease in his heart.

Fang Ping was no match for Su Yang, but Zhao Dongming was different; he was a disciple of the Martial Champion. Setting aside who was stronger between Su Yang and Zhao Dongming, the most crucial question was, would Su Yang dare to make a move against the disciple of the Martial Champion?

Su Yang kept a smile on his face the whole time, in fact, as soon as Zhao Dongming appeared, he knew what Zhao Dongming was here for. This situation was within his expectations.

"So, it’s a friend of Young Master Zhao!" Su Yang said lightly with a smile, "In that case, considering Young Master Zhao’s face, I will not pursue today’s matter with him anymore!"

Su Yang’s voice was loud and directly reached inside the gymnasium, letting the people there hear it as well.

Zhao Dongming’s face showed slight joy; in fact, even without Su Yang speaking, he also wanted to broadcast this incident. That way, the people inside would know that he had protected Wang Shao, and those with Fang Ping would have to join him to save themselves, presenting an opportunity.

Now that Su Yang had broadcast his voice inside, he didn’t need to say anything himself, those people would know what to do and would certainly choose to come over to his side.

"Thank you, Brother Su!" Zhao Dongming said with a bow.

Su Yang smiled faintly and turned back to the gymnasium without a word.

Zhao Dongming also led his people into the gymnasium. At this moment, six people were down on the floor of the gymnasium, all from Fang Ping’s side. Of course, there were also a dozen or so members of the advanced class who were with Fang Ping.

These dozen or so people hadn’t had time to get involved and had already realized Su Yang’s invincibility. So, they didn’t dare to act either, and were all feeling uneasy, unsure of how to deal with the situation.

Then, Zhao Dongming appeared, and with Zhao Dongming’s protection, Su Yang surprisingly let Wang Shao go. This immediately made these people start scheming.

It was clear that Su Yang was fearing the Martial Champion and did not dare to clash with Zhao Dongming, so he spared Wang Shao.

So, everyone only needed to ally themselves with Zhao Dongming to escape the current peril!

As for dealing with Su Yang, they had neither the time to think about it nor the courage to consider it any further. Only now did they realize how formidable Su Yang truly was, far beyond their capability to handle!
