《I Am Overlord》Chapter 825: This Child Is So Unlucky
Advertisement
Zhang Feng was mad, but he was no fool. He had just reached fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm not long ago. Even if he was already at mid fifth-stage, he wasn't arrogant enough to think that he had a 100 percent chance of defeating Xiang Shaoyun.
He had been relying on his madness to bolster his overbearingness. Doing so, he would have a greater chance of victory when he fought with his full strength. That had always been his style.
And here, while he was feigning madness, Xiang Shaoyun seemed even madder than him, directly staking their future in the fight. The loser would become a follower. From that alone, Xiang Shaoyun's confidence was evident.
Zhang Feng's insanity usually varied from person to person. Since Xiang Shaoyun had exceeded him in terms of madness, it was time for him to avoid Xiang Shaoyun, this sharp sword.
"I only want the woman, not you," Zhang Feng replied.
"Afraid already? Get lost," said Xiang Shaoyun with contempt.
Zhang Feng reflexively took a step backward. When he realized what he did, his face flushed red with anger, and he tightly clenched his fists as if he was going to attack immediately.
"Husband, I heard that your academy is filled with geniuses of remarkable combat prowess. Why don't you let me witness how strong this person is?" Tuoba Wan'er said as she winked mischievously.
Xiang Shaoyun understood the meaning of the wink, and he feigned a worried look as he said, "I'm afraid he will hurt you."
"I'm not that weak!" Tuoba Wan'er said with the tone of a spoiled child. She looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Come. If you can defeat me, I might even divorce my husband and replace him with you."
Zhang Feng's hope was reignited. He looked at Tuoba Wan'er in excitement and asked, "Are you being serious?"

"Of course. I have the right to divorce my husband at any time," said Tuoba Wan'er firmly.
"Excellent. Come, I will demonstrate my prowess to you. You will definitely fall in love with me," said Zhang Feng as he slapped his firm chest.
To the side, Xiang Shaoyun smiled helplessly, but that seemed like a smile of desperation in Zhang Feng's eyes.
Inwardly, he sneered, Looks like this kid has merely gotten lucky. After showing this chick my strength, she will definitely pick me.
"Good. So are we going to fight here?" Tuoba Wan'er asked, acting convincingly as an innocent girl that would never scheme.
"We can do it here. I don't wish to harm you, so we'll have a couple of simple exchanges. That will be enough for me to defeat you," declared Zhang Feng proudly.
"Good. Here I come, then."
"Um. Come. You won't be able to harm me," said Zhang Feng. His entire body lit up with a golden radiance as his 55 percent draconic aura surged out. His entire person looked incredibly valiant.
"So strong. Try taking a palm from me," said Tuoba Wan'er.
Her tiny palm slowly approached Zhang Feng's chest. Anyone seeing this scene would assume that her palm attack wasn't destructive. However, Xiang Shaoyun believed differently. After all, Tuoba Wan'er had a much higher cultivation level.
Bang!
When Tuoba Wan'er's palm landed on Zhang Feng's shining defensive layer, the force behind her palm suddenly shifted, sending out an immensely destructive power that completely destroyed the barrier.
Zhang Feng instantly felt like he was a tiny boat tossed about by the raging ocean. He was sent flying far away, and a fountain of blood sprayed out of his mouth, dying the sky red.
Without sparing him another glance, Tuoba Wan'er hugged Xiang Shaoyun's arm again and said, "Let's go, husband."

Xiang Shaoyun gave Zhang Feng a smile of sympathy as he thought, This child is so unlucky.
If Zhang Feng had fought him instead, he wouldn't have been beaten up so badly, even if defeat would still be certain. Of course, the degree of injury would depend on how much mercy Xiang Shaoyun decided to show.
The disciples in the surroundings felt a chill creep up their spine when they saw what happened to Zhang Feng. Inwardly, they thought, This holy maiden is terrifyingly strong!
They had long known that Xiang Shaoyun was strong and had high requirements for his women. Otherwise, he wouldn't have declared Yu Caidie his woman publicly. But this time, not only was this holy maiden he brought back perfect in terms of looks, but she was also extremely powerful. They couldn't help feeling a sense of admiration toward Xiang Shaoyun.
To possess a wife that was both good-looking and capable, luck alone was not enough. He had to be capable enough.
Finally, Xiang Shaoyun arrived at 1 Dragon Villa with Tuoba Wan'er. He had thought that only Yu Caidie would be there, but several enchanting figures could be seen walking around. Occasionally, a burst of giggles would ring out from them, filling the villa with joy.
When Xiang Shaoyun saw them, he smiled helplessly and thought, Why are they all here? Do they think that things are not messy enough right now?
As for Tuoba Wan'er, she frowned, a slight trace of displeasure on her face. No matter how magnanimous she was, she was still a woman. When she saw so many women frolicking around her man's home, with each of the women being exceedingly beautiful, it was hard for her to not feel any displeasure. She started wondering just how big of a player Xiang Shaoyun was.
Xiang Shaoyun did not know whose rotten idea this was, and he could only invite Tuoba Wan'er in with a bitter smile, "Wan'er, let's go inside first. They are all my friends."
When Tuoba Wan'er saw Xiang Shaoyun facing this openly, she couldn't just leave in anger. In any case, she was also curious just what exactly was waiting for her inside.
Apart from Yu Caidie, Lady Shura was also in the villa. Xiang Shaoyun wasn't surprised to see them here, but he was surprised to see that Han Chenfei, Han Qianwei, Han Xuewei, and Huang Xiaoyue were there as well.
Although Xiang Shaoyun did not have many feelings for the latter four women, some things couldn't be easily explained to Tuoba Wan'er.
"Shaoyun, you're back," said Yu Caidie loudly with a mischievous look in her eyes. She walked out leisurely, looking like a wife welcoming her husband back from work.
Her greeting felt unreal for Xiang Shaoyun. Although he had always imagined such a day coming, with it happening right before his eyes, he still found it unreal. When Tuoba Wan'er saw how Yu Caidie was behaving, she was able to see something from the expressions of the other ladies.
"Little sister, you sure have put a lot of thought into welcoming me," said Tuoba Wan'er with a flat smile.
Yu Caidie glanced at her and said, "You misunderstand. We are only welcoming Shaoyun's return. None of us know you."

After three centuries, post-industrial civilization threatens to shatter. Megacorporations accrue enormous power by linking together nations turned insular in the aftermath of yesterday's global multilateralism; a reinvigorated United Nations threatens the crumbling sovereignty of state by enforcing human rights independently of member nations, and the UN and others patrol for mass destruction technologies in the ever-accelerating, ever-democratizing arms race.

That is the reality that virtual child Colton is rehabilitated into. A system shock, a brave new world and above all a regurgitation.
