Chapter 870: Shuichao Cave

"Haha, I was talking about actual combat. In terms of strength, I'm just so-so, although I might be quite at the front in our city, but—"

Yang Hongzhi said with an uneasy look, leading Feng Yuan to curiously glance at him and ask,

"What? Did you spar with people from other cities?"

After a moment of silence, Yang Hongzhi nodded reluctantly and said,

"Yes. Previously, during the Beast Tamer competition training with my teacher, those from Shenhua Shangjing—they're formidable even without Divine Beasts. If it weren't for Najia, I'd have given up long ago."

"That's quite normal, right? Those with strength all aspire to attend good academies. How many are there like me—"

Feng Yuan said, somewhat proudly. Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan with amusement and said,

"Do you even need to? Although Agunas hasn't signed a Divine Beast contract with you, given your current situation, is there really anyone in the Beast Tamer competition who could beat you?"
