Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Half-Step Innate is Very Powerful?

When it comes to Dragon Country, one cannot help but mention its four great cities: Longjing, Magic Capital, Yang City, and Peng City.

Why is that place called Peng City?

Originally, it was an insignificant location, but it became the first Special Economic Zone established by Dragon Country. Afterward, like a great roc spreading its wings, it soared to capture the world’s attention. Thus, it was named Peng City.

The little one wanted to go, so in the end, Wu Tian agreed.

Early the next morning, Wu Tian, Xia Qian, Qin Yuhan, and the little one headed to the airport.

Qin Yuhan and Xia Qian had already purchased the plane tickets. As prominent figures in Yang City’s affluent circles, getting tickets was an easy task for them.

Not everyone starts on the same playing field. If you aren’t receiving special treatment in a certain place, it doesn’t mean everyone is equal—it just means you haven’t worked hard enough!

On the plane, in first class, Wu Tian and his family unexpectedly encountered Nangong Yi, Gona, and Watt.

While sipping his breakfast milk, Gona said, “This flight only goes to Peng City this morning. So, you all are also heading to Peng City. What a coinci—”

Before he could finish the word, Gona erupted into a fit of coughing. “COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!” He had somehow nearly choked to death on a simple sip of milk.

He coughed so violently that he began to vomit. There were other passengers in first class, including several ladies who, moments before, had found Gona quite appealing, like a Western gentleman. But now, watching him vomit, they were completely put off, finding him repulsive and boorish.

Qin Yuhan, Xia Qian, the little one, and Wu Tian were naturally all together.

“You did that, didn’t you?” Qin Yuhan whispered with interest. “A young master from such a prominent family is always so refined. How could he possibly choke? That was an impressive trick.”

Wu Tian just smiled and said nothing. This intrigued the little one, however, and she begged Wu Tian to teach her. But Wu Tian shook his head. The little one’s current abilities were insufficient to use such a technique. For now, he could only tell her stories.

…

“Damn it!” In first class, Gona’s anger flared as he noticed Wu Tian’s happy family. He also saw a beautiful woman staring at Wu Tian with a besotted gaze.

Nangong Yi, who was seated right next to him, remarked, “It seems you detest them too.”

He was the illegitimate son of a prestigious family and had always thought he would have to rely on himself for his entire life. With that in mind, he went to Europe, worked hard, and became the King of Soldiers. He had assumed his return to the city would be just like in the novels about a returning King of Soldiers—all smooth sailing.

Initially, his life seemed to follow the script of a novel’s protagonist.

To use a popular phrase to describe it, “Soon, I’ll get a promotion and a raise, become the general manager, be appointed CEO, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of my life. Even thinking about it gets me a little excited!”

But before he could revel in his excitement, Wu Tian arrived. After that, misfortune befell Nangong Yi one after another. He was kicked out of the Qin Corporation, and when he went to the Nalan Group, he found Hua Biehe already there. He moved on to the Wang Corporation and, thanks to his talent, became a department head. The very next day, Wang Wei died, and the Wang Corporation completely collapsed. His life was the complete opposite of the triumphant soldier returning home as depicted in novels.

“You’re wrong. I’m just a bit uncomfortable. You, on the other hand, truly hate them,” Gona said, his gentlemanly smile immediately returning.

“Yes,” Nangong Yi did not deny it. His demeanor was much colder now, as if he had undergone a baptism that had transformed him into a completely different person. This change was also related to his recent trip to Peng City.

After the Wang Corporation’s collapse, Nangong Yi had returned to his family home. He was an illegitimate son, but he knew that within the Nangong Family, he was Nangong Xiong’s only male offspring; his father’s legitimate wife had only given birth to daughters. Nangong Yi had returned home and knelt before his father. Swallowing his pride, he became a servant to his father’s legitimate wife, enduring her beatings and verbal abuse until he finally earned her recognition.

This time, he had left Peng City for Yang City to retrieve some old things, such as the codebook used for contacting his old comrades from his mercenary group. Now he was returning to that home in Peng City. He had already gained Nangong Xiong’s acknowledgment, and his father had even introduced him to his friends.

This meant that if Nangong Xiong and the others were to die, he, Nangong Yi, would be the ultimate beneficiary. Nangong Villa would be his.

Nangong Villa belonged to a Martial Arts Family. The Nangong, Murong, and other such families had all risen to prominence during the chaos of the Five Barbarians. Although their heritage was not on par with the Five Surnames and Seven Families, it was not too far behind.

Gona and Nangong Yi struck up a conversation. Though they had just met, they felt an instant rapport, as if they had found a kindred spirit in each other.

“They seem to be heading to Peng City,” Nangong Yi said suddenly. “I want to teach them a lesson and show them that Peng City isn’t a place they can just waltz into.”

“If they’re going to Peng City, they’ll have to stay in a hotel,” Gona said confidently. “Since you’re a local, you investigate. Once you find out where they’re staying, tell me. With my wealth, I can buy that hotel in one night and make the entire street my territory for the evening.”

“No, let’s be cautious. We should just teach them a small lesson. Let’s not go overboard,” Nangong Yi sighed, immediately recalling Wu Tian’s formidable skills.

“What? Are you scared?” Gona asked indifferently.

If Nangong Yi was truly scared, Gona would only look down on him. He would think he had misjudged the man, believing he had found a rare confidant.

“It’s not that I’m scared, but I need to remind you that Wu Tian’s skills are not to be underestimated,” Nangong Yi said gravely. “Even though I’ve also begun cultivating Martial Arts, I’m not confident I can match him.”

“Oh?” A look of surprise crossed Gona’s face. “Are his skills really that good?”

“Absolutely formidable. I’m not lying to you,” Nangong Yi said earnestly. If he didn’t regard Gona as a confidant, he wouldn’t have spoken so seriously.

“You underestimate our young master,” Watt interjected. “Our young master is also cultivating the Martial Path. No matter how formidable Wu Tian is, I doubt he’s a match for Young Master Gona.”

He watched Gona engage in Martial Practice every day. After finishing his work and dining, Gona had almost no free time. All his remaining hours were dedicated to cultivating the Martial Path. How could such a diligent person be defeated by a peer?

“Well said,” Gona replied with a nonchalant smile. “Even if Wu Tian knows Martial Arts and is very skilled, I don’t care. If he had no talent at all, I’d consider him unworthy of being my opponent. You see, I am now Half-step Innate.”

“What?” Nangong Yi was stunned.

In all of Dragon Country, only the Seven Saints of Dragon Country had reached the Innate realm. Yet Gona, so young, was already at the Half-step Innate realm? How could he not be shocked?

He had to admit that Gona was superior to him. At such a young age, to be Half-step Innate… no wonder Gona was so dismissive of Wu Tian’s Martial Skills.
