Chapter 1704 — Something Ominous

There must be something in this he did not know. He did not know what it was, but still he said, "This is Yutian's decision, and I support him!"
"Good. To the arena in the training ground next door!" Yu Shuixing wanted to see just what trick Wei Zhao was playing, but to keep them from pulling any underhanded moves when the time came, Yu Shuixing spoke first: "Chen Yuxuan, since it's you who issued the challenge, then it's you who fights. That's right, isn't it? When the time comes, you won't be having someone stand in for you, will you?"
To be honest, Yu Shuixing truly feared that Chen Yuxuan might have Wei Zhao take the stage in his place. So he blocked that road in advance and went on: "And when the time comes, don't tell us that Wei Zhao is your sister's boyfriend and therefore counts as one of the Chen family!"
"No need. My own vengeance, I will take with my own hands!" Chen Yuxuan cast a look of contempt at Yu Shuixing.
"Good. You're courting death yourself, so blame no one else!" Yu Shuixing said. So long as Wei Zhao did not take the stage, all would be well. Chen Yuxuan was a cripple — never mind that he was still in a wheelchair now; even out of it, he was only a fighter of the early Mystic Rank, two ranks below Yu Feng. Yu Feng could beat him with ease and pleasure!
"No need for the arena. We can settle it right here!" Chen Yuxuan said.
"Hahahaha... suit yourself. But don't say I bullied you — in my hands you're a one-move wonder. You were before, and you are now!" Yu Feng laughed heartily and strode swaggeringly toward Chen Yuxuan. But his laughter suddenly broke off: "Gah!"
Because he saw that Chen Yuxuan, who had been sitting in his wheelchair, had now actually stood up! Yu Feng's eyes went wide. Wasn't Chen Yuxuan crippled? Hadn't he come in a wheelchair? How could he stand?
"You..." Yu Feng pointed at Chen Yuxuan in disbelief. "Aren't you crippled?"
"Who told you a cripple can't be cured? I just got out of the hospital — is that not allowed?" Chen Yuxuan looked at Yu Feng mockingly.
"Then why... why were you still in a wheelchair?" Yu Feng vaguely sensed that something was off, but he could not say just what. After all, however formidable Chen Yuxuan might be, he was only a fighter of the early Mystic Rank — and that was before his injury!
Even if Wei Zhao had some miraculous elixir that could heal Chen Yuxuan's wounds and restore his strength, he would still be only an early Mystic Rank fighter. Even if he had gained some insight and broken through during this time, he could only be a top expert at the peak of the early Mystic Rank — still one rank below himself. What was there to fear?
Yet Yu Feng had a nameless sense of foreboding. This business, he felt, was a little too strange.
"Oh, at the hospital I sat in that wheelchair every day. I just got used to it." Chen Yuxuan stretched lazily. "Standing up so suddenly, I feel a bit light-headed. The doctor told me to do some recovery training — so I'll just use you for the training!"
