Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 547 - 542 The Xiao Family’s Fatso
Ye Feng was also observing the people around him. He didn't know many of them, as he had spent too little time in the Outer Battlefield. Those he had brought with him previously had either died or been injured.
Those from the Sects who were not suited to stay in the Outer Battlefield had already returned to Earth.
The Outer Battlefield is that brutal, only a very few at the Peak Martial King Level could survive here. Normally, only those in the Divine Ability Realm are qualified to operate in the Outer Battlefield. Otherwise, as seen before in the Death Desert, just those Wind Blades could annihilate strong warriors at the Martial King Level.
"Yo, Brother Jerk, you're here too?"
At that moment, a discordant voice rang out.
Chi Jark raised his eyebrows and looked towards a fat man who was approaching. He directly started to curse, "Fatso, how many times have I told you, don't freaking call me by my name!"
A fat young man came over, fanning himself with a folding fan. If not for his round belly and chubby face, he might have passed for a scholar.
"Brother Jerk, what's our relationship? What's the big deal? Look, you call me fatso and I don't even get mad for a second."
The fat young man let out a laugh, and his fan kept waving. Then, he caught sight of Ye Feng standing beside Chi Jark and was taken aback.
Who is this person, and why is there a kingly aura about him?
The fat young man narrowed his eyes, continuing to size up Ye Feng. Ye Feng gave him an indescribable feeling and carried a kingly aura, which was not something ordinary people possessed.
Chi Jark felt somewhat helpless but didn't pursue the fat young man's way of addressing him any further. Seeing the fat young man sizing up Ye Feng, he immediately said, "What are you looking at, fatso? Don't tell me you've taken a liking to my Brother Ye?"
"Even if I did take a liking, it's not impossible. I'll talk to Brother Ye about it; maybe I could satisfy you."
Chi Jark smiled slyly, his face still wearing a hint of mischief.
These words gave Ye Feng goosebumps all over, and he couldn't help but step back, eyeing the fat young man warily.
Could this guy possibly be... interested in men?
Ye Feng even felt a bit queasy at the thought and backed away several steps.
Seeing this, the fat young man immediately became annoyed and charged at Chi Jark.
"Chi Jerk, what sort of nonsense are you spouting? How dare you slander Grandpa Xiao!"
The fat young man glared at Chi Jark, clearly infuriated. This damn guy actually dared to joke about his orientation; it was unforgivable.
His Spirit Essence burst forth, charging forward.
Feeling this outburst of Spirit Essence, Ye Feng looked on with a peculiar expression. This scholarly-looking fatso was actually at Half-Step Golden Core Realm, and his strong Spirit Essence could probably contend with a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm.
Given that he appeared to be about the same age as Chi Jark, it seemed he was another individual at Heaven's Pride Level.
Xiao...

Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly. The last family of the Four Great Ancient Clans was indeed the Xiao Family. Could this fat young man be from the Xiao Family?
"Fatso, don't!"
"Damn it, you're actually attacking!"
Chi Jark's expression changed as he saw the fat young man erupting with Spirit Essence and charging at him. He unfolded his footwork and quickly put some distance between him and the young fat man.
Seeing Chi Jark retreat, the fat young man snorted coldly and reined in his aura.
However, this had attracted the attention of many onlookers, who looked on with an air of watching a show.
The fat young man scanned the crowd and barked coldly, "What are you looking at?"
The surrounding people quickly turned their heads away upon hearing this, many of them obviously wary, clearly knowing the fat man was no simple character, with few willing to provoke him.
By then, Chi Jark had already come back, clearing his throat, "Fatso, it was just a joke just now; you took it seriously. How can that be? We can't start fighting for real; you're no match for me and that would hurt our friendship."
The fat young man suddenly let out a chuckle, "Is that so? Brother Jerk, why don't we spar right now, no need to wait for the selection match."
As the fat young man spoke, his Spirit Essence erupted again.
Chi Jark's face stiffened slightly and he quickly laughed it off, "Brother Xiao, no rash moves, just joking, just joking."
"By the way, let me introduce you, this here is Ye Feng, the well-known Northern Border King on Earth!"
Chi Jark hastily pulled Ye Feng in front, using him as a shield.
Ye Feng felt somewhat helpless but also a bit intrigued. Chi Jark was ranked sixth on the Genius List, so how come he seemed somewhat apprehensive of this fat man's strength?
"Brother Ye, this is Xiao Rulong from the Xiao Family of the Ancient Clan!"
Chi Jark put away his playful demeanor and introduced him more formally.
Xiao Rulong?
Ye Feng was a bit surprised, thinking to himself that the name didn't quite match the fat man's physique.
Xiao Rulong looked at Ye Feng with a hint of surprise after hearing Chi Jark introduce him, "You're the legendary new Northern Border King?"
"Well, well, so it's you. I've heard that in just a few short years, you've turned the entire Earth upside down. Those of us on the Outer Battlefield have all heard the legends about you."
"I was wondering who else in the world could possess such an imperial aura; turns out it's the legendary Northern Border King. What a pleasure to meet you, haha."
Xiao Rulong appeared quite amiable and reached out to shake hands with Ye Feng.
Ye Feng also smiled and reached out his hand, "Brother Xiao is too kind. You're the true prodigies. I'm just a newcomer to the Outer Battlefield and there's still much I rely on Brother Chi for."
Xiao Rulong kept observing Ye Feng and saw his modesty, which increased his favorable impression considerably.
He had thought that the legendary Northern Border King would be difficult to get along with, but it turned out he was quite friendly.
And his strength appears to be only at the Peak Martial King level?
Xiao Rulong frowned, for he could see through Ye Feng's realm, which indeed was at the Peak Martial King level, and this puzzled him.
According to what was said outside, this Northern Border King had challenged all the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts on Earth and suppressed them to the point where they couldn't raise their heads. How could he possibly be just at the Peak Martial King level?
The Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts on Earth each had at least a Powerhouse of the Sacred Realm or Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm presiding over them. A warrior at the Peak Martial King level going there would only be met with death immediately upon arrival.
It seemed that the Northern Border King must be concealing his true strength, but he appeared quite approachable.
Xiao Rulong considered this and soon started to get more familiar with Ye Feng.
Ye Feng wasn't concerned about it; Xiao Rulong looked to be a forthright person, and since he seemed to be close friends with Chi Jark, there probably wouldn't be any major issues.
He didn't know much about the Xiao Family, an ancient clan that could be said to be the most low-profile among the Four Great Ancient Clans. He had heard some news about the Chi Family before while on Earth, but not about the Xiao Family; it really seemed as if they kept out of worldly strife.
The three of them formed a small circle, chatting continuously, and Ye Feng gained a much better understanding of Xiao Rulong.
Including the reason why the Xiao Family had kept out of conflicts; apparently, in recent years, there had been few top prodigies in the family. It was left mostly to the older generation of experts, and the new generation seemed to be on the verge of extinction.
Of course, this was what Xiao Rulong said, and whether it was true or not, Ye Feng didn't know and remained skeptical.
As time passed, many people had already gathered in front of the Xuanyuan Hall doors; some even started building makeshift rest areas by bringing over large stones to form simple stone houses. Those who came here were at least of the Peak Martial King strength, so moving some big stones was a piece of cake.
Ye Feng, Chi Jark, and Xiao Rulong also built a small stone house together and chatted while they waited inside.
However, Ye Feng was still releasing his spiritual power, covering the area in front of Xuanyuan Hall, waiting for Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, among others.
He wondered if these guys would participate in this selection.
Just as Ye Feng was concerned, a stir occurred in front of Xuanyuan Hall, and many people turned to look in one direction.
At another entrance of Xuanyuan Hall, a young man dressed in white slowly walked in, followed by two followers who appeared to be Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm, trailing behind him like servants.
"The genius from the Bu Family has arrived!"
"Bu Yuntian of the Ancient Clan's Bu Family, indeed born with such good looks, fluttering in white, the dream of countless Female Cultivators."
"Is Bu Yuntian just living off his good looks? I've heard that he has recently advanced to the Half-Step Golden Core Realm. He's only been in the Outer Battlefield for a short time and has already climbed to the Half-Step Golden Core Realm; that's quite impressive."
"He's only about twenty-six or twenty-seven this year, and he's already reached the Half-Step Golden Core Realm. Wouldn't it just take him a few years to break through into a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm?"
"Who knows? Although he's in the Half-Step Golden Core Realm now, it's not easy to break through to become a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm unless he can secure one of the spots to enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. If he goes into the Spirit Essence Pool, he might have a chance at breaking through."
The crowd was abuzz with conversation.
The noise reached Ye Feng and the others inside their stone house.
"The Bu Family's kid has arrived?"
Hearing the voices outside, Chi Jark couldn't help but laugh, albeit with a hint of nonchalance, seemingly indifferent to it.
"A new Half-Step Golden Core, nothing worth watching."
Xiao Rulong also didn't care, laughing heartily, and turned his attention back to Ye Feng.
"Speaking of which, did Bu Yuntian have a bout with Brother Ye back on Earth?"
Chi Jark also laughed, "I also remember hearing about that. In the end, it seems that he was defeated by Brother Ye, who then smoothly became the Martial Academy Principal."
Seeing them talk like this, Ye Feng was a bit surprised, "You two are even aware of that news? That happened during the Martial Academy Principal's selection, quite some time ago now."
Ye Feng was internally astonished; he initially thought that Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong would only be aware of his recent activities, never expecting that they would also know details about his selection as the Martial Academy Principal.
Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong both smiled and said nothing. These ancient clans actually kept a good handle on external intelligence; someone from their families would continually monitor events on Earth and inform those in the Outer Battlefield.
"We don't need to worry about this Bu Yuntian, but the Bu Family has another genius, whose strength is not to be underestimated. Three years ago, he was feared to have the power comparable to the top of the Heaven's Pride List!"
Chi Jark suddenly spoke gravely.
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised, strength comparable to the top of the Heaven's Pride List?
