But in reality, he had just exerted all his strength, eager to immediately kill Su Changfeng, but was unable to do so.
"Why are you still standing there? Don't you understand how precious our time is?" Mu Tian shouted angrily as he noticed Wu Wen hadn't made a move.
Wu Wen adjusted his breathing. His right hand still had a slight numbness, a residual effect from their hard collision.
"I really didn't expect it, you truly surprised me!" Wu Wen said through gritted teeth. He couldn't afford to lose face in front of Mu Tian, otherwise Mu Tian might abandon him at any time.
"You also surprised me. It seems I underestimated you and shouldn't have held back," Su Changfeng said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Wen was furious; in his eyes, Su Changfeng's words were an insult. He considered Su Changfeng as mere trash from the mortal world, yet dared to speak brazenly.
"Earlier, you might have kept your life, but now, you will certainly die!" As soon as Wu Wen finished speaking, he launched a second wave of attacks against Su Changfeng.
Su Changfeng slightly lowered his center of gravity, readying himself in the perfect stance to meet Wu Wen's attack.
Now, Mu Tian did not close his eyes again; he wanted to see what had happened just now.
From the conversation between the two, one could tell that Wu Wen seemed to have already used all his strength, but hadn't wounded Su Changfeng.
Yet Mu Tian didn't believe it; after all, how could Su Changfeng, merely a person from the secular world, withstand Wu Wen's attack?
"Let me see your true strength. Is it possible you can face Wu Wen without using all your power?" Mu Tian said, staring directly at Su Changfeng.
In fact, Su Changfeng did not hold back. Facing a strong opponent like Wu Wen, how could he not use his entire strength? The reason he said that was merely to provoke Wu Wen, encouraging him to start the second wave of attacks quickly and preventing Wu Wen from gathering strength for too long.
Although now his right hand also suffered the aftermath of their collision, he retreated to divert the residual force, so his current situation was far better than Wu Wen's.
This slight advantage might bring about a different final result, so Su Changfeng must seize this opportunity.
On the stage, Wu Wen's offensive was fierce, and to others, Su Changfeng seemed completely suppressed by Wu Wen.
Shangguan Wenchuan rubbed his hands excitedly; now was the result he wanted to see, hoping Wu Wen would kill Su Changfeng right away and conveniently eliminate this rival.
Shangguan Sichen's forehead was continuously sweating, as if he were in a sauna, and couldn't be wiped clean no matter what. It was the pivotal moment, and his breathing became cautious.
This was undoubtedly the most tense moment of the old man's life, today.
In contrast, looking at Mu Tian, his face no longer carried the previously leisurely expression; his face was marked with seriousness.
But outwardly, Wu Wen certainly seemed to have the advantage, which was true, but such advantages won't appear.
Originally, Wu Wen should have been crushing Su Changfeng, and Su Changfeng should have been killed already, not still fighting against Wu Wen for so many rounds.
Moreover, Mu Tian could see information that others could not.
Wu Wen's advantage was because Su Changfeng kept dodging.
This also meant that, aside from the initial clash, Su Changfeng had not retaliated once, which was not good news for Wu Wen.
No matter how powerful a person is, their stamina is limited. Wu Wen was continuously wasting his effort without delivering a substantial blow to Su Changfeng.
Since Su Changfeng was not fighting back, his stamina was maintained at peak condition, and it was possible for him to seize the opportunity to deliver a winning blow!
Mu Tian now realized that in their initial clash, Wu Wen hadn't held back at all. During the hard confrontation, Wu Wen did not gain any advantage. However, because Mu Tian hadn't seen it firsthand, he only saw the final result, which led him to mistakenly think Wu Wen had restrained himself.
"What kind of person are you, possessing such tremendous power!" Mu Tian murmured to himself, his tone evidently filled with disbelief.
In Tuo Shi, it wasn't unheard of for someone originally from the secular world to become powerful later. But that was after they entered Tuo Shi and received specialized training, turning them into a formidable force.
However, Su Changfeng, who wasn't even aware of what Tuo Shi was, could already fight evenly with Wu Wen.
A thought instinctively arose in Mu Tian's mind.
If Su Changfeng were to enter Tuo Shi and undergo training there, how would his strength change? Would Wu Wen still have the chance to suppress him like now?
Mu Tian couldn't help shaking his head, instantly dismissing the possibility for Wu Wen.
"Alas, it looks like he will definitely be defeated, unable to fight back at all."
"Made everyone excited for nothing, we really thought he could win."
"I heard someone say Su Changfeng is Shangguan Feihong's grandson; he's really just like his grandmother, all utterly useless, not worth pinning our hopes on."
Outsiders could only view the spectacle; part of the Shangguan Family could only see Su Changfeng being pounded by Wu Wen, unable to comprehend Su Changfeng's strategy of building up strength over time, thus they concluded Su Changfeng would surely lose, hence ridiculing him now.
"All of you, be quiet!" Hearing the ridicule towards Su Changfeng, Shangguan Sichen sternly rebuked them with a cold expression; this was a pivotal moment for the future of the Shangguan Family, and those who contributed nothing dared to speak insensitively.
Shangguan Sichen's displeasure scared those who just spoke, now afraid to make any further mocking comments about Su Changfeng, yet inside they still believed Su Changfeng would lose, it was just that Shangguan Sichen couldn't face reality.
"Grandfather, you can rest assured, I will definitely find another way," Shangguan Wenchuan said to Shangguan Sichen from the side.
