Chapter 2349 The Present World
In the grand hall, Zhang Nanhai's words reverberated.
However, upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but scoff.
"Oh, challenging me to a duel? Who do you think you are, daring to challenge me? Even Chu Tianfan, who was the strongest among those in China, couldn't defeat me. And you, an unknown youngster, think you're worthy to fight me? You even dare to challenge all the other Supremes? Every individual present here is a pillar of their respective nations, responsible for their protection. Do you really think a scoundrel like you is worthy of challenging us?" Mochizuki Kawa snorted coldly.
The imposing words were filled with nothing but disdain and contempt.
Clearly, no one else believed what Zhang Nanhai was saying either. That was the reality.
If a person lacked sufficient status, prestige, and authority, then his statements of fact would be seen by others as nothing more than nonsensical ramblings.
After all, time was of the essence.
Everyone simply didn't have the mood or energy to waste on an unknown individual.
"Someone, throw him out!"
Inside the grand hall, someone ordered the guards to expel Zhang Nanhai.
Zhang Nanhai, with a heart full of resentment, asked, "Why won't you give me a chance? Is running away all you can think of? Do you all intend to become slaves of a fallen nation? I have a way to deal with the Universe Tree. Why don't you give it a try? What if it succeeds? Sword Saint, please say something. Sword Saint?"
Zhang Nanhai kept shouting, his tone filled with anger more than frustration.
He couldn't understand why those people wouldn't believe in him when he had found a way out for the world?
The end of days is upon us. In such a situation, shouldn't they try everything, even if there's only the slightest chance?
However, no matter how much Zhang Nanhai shouted, not a single person was willing to heed him.
Even the Sword Saint, despite his desire to speak up for Zhang Nanhai, ultimately kept quiet.
After all, the words Zhang Nanhai just said were just too arrogant.
He actually claimed that the formation he had researched could take on anyone in the world.
It was naturally not possible.
If such a formidable formation truly existed, he would have already become the most powerful cultivator in the world.
So, Sword Saint speculated that Zhang Nanhai must have exaggerated the truth on purpose to attract everyone's attention.
Consequently, he was undoubtedly displeased with such a boastful person.
However, just as Zhang Nanhai was about to be forcibly expelled by the security guards, a gust of wind swept in from outside the grand hall.
Immediately after, waves of overwhelming Qi swept in like a raging tornado.
Boom Boom Boom...
Amidst the surge of Qi, those powerful individuals clamoring for Zhang Nanhai to be taken away suffered heavy blows, each one of them spitting out blood and collapsing to the ground.
"Who is it?"
"Who's there?"
"How dare you trespass on the world's highest-level meeting?"
The scene left everyone utterly astonished.
Upon their high seats, Karlo and Aaron turned pale instantly as they stood up in shock.
For some unknown reason, the same name unexpectedly surfaced in both of their minds.
Chu Tianfan!
For many, only Chu Tianfan would dare to barge into an important meeting like that in such a brazen manner.
Under the heart-pounding anxiety of Karlo and the others, a burly figure quietly appeared outside the door.
The man, clad in a black robe, stood arrogantly outside and exuded an intimidating aura.
"Gaius?"
"You old fogey. You've got quite the nerve!"
"What are you trying to do?"
"Thinking of rebelling, are you?"
Upon recognizing the newcomer, almost everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Once calm was restored, Carlton immediately scolded in anger.
While Gaius was strong, his strength, in today's context, was nothing to shout about.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was from Dragon God Hall, Karlo would have long since gotten rid of the pretentious old man with a slap.
However, he couldn't do so due to the latter's powerful background.
Everyone in the martial arts world knew that behind Gaius stood an incredibly terrifying man.
Therefore, no one, including Carlo and Aaron, dared to provoke him.
However, faced with the unwelcoming gazes of the crowd, Gaius reciprocated with a look of disgust.
"You bunch of old fogies, you're as obstinate as ever. You're just as blind as you were and continue to judge a book by its cover. It seems that over the years, Dragon Master hasn't taught you enough lessons. Even now, as the end of days approaches, you remain obstinate, clinging onto things like hierarchy and seniority."
As soon as Gaius walked through the door, he didn't hold back. He immediately launched a tirade against everyone present.
Mochizuki Kawa, Aaron, and the others were scolded until their faces turned ashen, their eyes twitching uncontrollably.
Just as I thought, this old fart really brought up Chu Tianfan again!
For a moment, no one spoke.
In the past, there would still be someone stubborn enough to retort, belittling Ye Fan by calling him a nobody and trying to put the latter in his place.
Compared to back then, no one dared to utter a single bad word about Ye Fan anymore.
Moreover, no one dared to offend Ye Fan's subordinates too much.
"Gaius, don't go too far! Today's meeting determines the survival of people around the world. If you're unwilling to contribute, that's fine, but I hope you won't cause trouble. Do not isolate yourself from the world, and don't go against the people of the world!" Aaron warned.
However, Gaius couldn't be bothered to waste words on them.
He simply glanced at Zhang Nanhai. "Kid, when dealing with these people, all the talk and reasoning in the world won't do a damn thing. The only things they respect are fists and power. So, let's not waste any more time talking. You're talking about your Tiny Formation, right? Go ahead and use it."
Gaius looked at Zhang Nanhai, speaking in a soft, nonchalant tone.
Zhang Nanhai was somewhat surprised. "Mr. Gaius, what brings you here?"
"Stop wasting time and hurry up. This will be a good chance for me to see if all those things you told me before were just you bragging!" Gaius urged, raising an eyebrow.
Zhang Nanhai managed to comprehend the Titan Formation right under Gaius' watchful eyes.
The moment Zhang Nanhai fully grasped the formation, he couldn't help but burst into uncontrollable laughter beneath the Universe Tree. Startled, Gaius trembled. What was supposed to be an hour-long "encounter" with the young women in bed had ended in just three minutes. As he rushed out, he saw Zhang Nanhai laughing hysterically and proclaiming his success repeatedly, as if he had lost his mind.
At that time, Gaius believed that Zhang Nanhai had gone insane from all the training.
However, he later discovered that Zhang Nanhai had actually uncovered the most powerful and profound formation-the Titan Formation. Zhang Nanhai even claimed that this formation was incredibly potent and could rival the might of the Universe Tree.
Of course, Gaius didn't believe it at the time.
Even the Dragon Master is powerless against the Universe Tree. How could this kid possibly be stronger than the Dragon Master?
To test the strength of the formation, Gaius asked Zhang Nanhai to teach it to him.
It could be said that Gaius and Zhang Nanhai were the only two individuals in the world who had mastered the Titan Formation.
Afterward, Zhang Nanhai set off for the location of the high-level meeting, intending to present the Titan Formation to the public and advocate for its cultivation. Gaius had long anticipated that Zhang Nanhai's journey would encounter obstacles.
Therefore, he decided to accompany him.
And now, his predictions had come true.
The proud leaders of the various martial arts realms were not receptive to Zhang Nanhai's claims.
"Alright then, thank you, Mr. Gaius!"
Zhang Nanhai knew that Gaius was assisting him, so he happily agreed.
Subsequently, everyone witnessed Zhang Nanhai and Gaius seated on the ground.
Their palms met, while their mouths began to softly utter something.
In unison, a mysterious incantation escaped their lips.
Then, Zhang Nanhai's palm transformed, tracing formations in the empty space.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
A turbulent gust suddenly arose amidst the surge of spiritual power.
In an instant, a colossal magic circle materialized beneath them.
Golden light soared toward the heavens, resembling radiant swords that enveloped the two figures.
Finally, to the astonishment of everyone present, the two orbs of light merged with the formation.
The blinding radiance that ensued made it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.
Once the light subsided, both Gaius and Zhang Nanhai had vanished.
In their place stood a towering giant, measuring ten meters in height.
"This... this..."
"What is this?"
