Chapter 151 Strange Enmity
Seeing that the young master was about to slap him again, Chu Nan’s mind reacted. He raised his right arm and threw a punch.
Although this punch was the second and first move of the Hong Clan’s Long Fist that he was already familiar with Retreating Horse Rush Fist, when Chu Nan used this punch this time, he did not mobilize all the muscles in his body to cooperate with his punch like before in order to unleash the greatest muscle strength. Instead, he deliberately controlled it and left some strength reserved in every inch of his muscles.
This way, regardless of speed or strength, this punch was clearly inferior to any Retreating Horse Rush Fist that Chu Nan had used previously.
Coupled with the fact that this was the first time Chu Nan had tried this, even with the support of his data ability, his muscles and movements could not be exquisitely coordinated. This punch appeared a little awkward.
When he saw Chu Nan’s counterattack, the young man sneered. His body swayed lightly and he flipped his palm. His palm immediately changed to a strange angle and happened to dodge Chu Nan’s counterattack. It directly penetrated the space before his chest and slapped his lower abdomen.
The change in this palm was exquisite, causing Chu Nan to not even have a good method to block it.
Fortunately, he had enough strength left. In his hurry, he relied on the abnormally fast reaction brought about by his powerful data ability to raise his left hand and sway his body, allowing the palm to land on his left waist, which was blocked by his left hand. Bang! On his palm that seemed to be light and powerless, a surging force that felt gentle but was actually extremely turbulent erupted.
Chu Nan could not help but take a few steps back from this palm strike. His back suddenly collided with a table behind him and it flipped
over.
The table fell to the ground with a huge muffled sound.
The wine and food that were originally on the table were sent flying at this moment and landed on the ground, causing a series of clear cracking sounds.
When the young master saw that Chu Nan was forced back by his palm, he was immediately excited. His figure moved and he slapped again.
However, at this moment, a furious roar suddenly sounded.
“Stop!”
The young man’s body suddenly shook, and this palm instantly became soft and powerless. He stopped in his tracks, put down his arm, and turned around with an ugly expression.
“Xue Zhengming, what are you doing?!” A middle-aged man who looked to be close to 50 and looked a little similar to this young master walked over with large strides. He glared at the young master and roared.
The young master called Xue Zhengming had been arrogant and condescending in front of Chu Nan earlier. Now, when facing this middle-aged man, he was like a mouse that had seen a cat. His body shrunk and he obediently lowered his head and squeezed out a smile.
“Dad, I’m just playing with him. It’s nothing…”
“Nothing?” The middle-aged man’s voice raised a little more, and the saliva in his mouth nearly sprayed onto Xue Zhengming’s face, “You made this place into such a state just because you were playing. If I don’t care about you, are you planning to tear down the entire banquet hall?”
Xue Zhengming laughed dryly, “How can that be? I only sparred with him a little, don’t you think so, Chu Nan?”
At this point, Xue Zhengming glanced at Chu Nan, but a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. His expression clearly carried a trace of threat.
Chu Nan sneered in his mind, but he did not have the intention to make a big deal out of this. He glanced at the other guests who had already surrounded him and nodded at the middle-aged man.
“Yes, Senior. We only did it on a whim. It’s nothing serious.”
Hearing Chu Nan’s answer, the middle-aged man’s expression softened. He sized up Chu Nan and nodded lightly.
“My son is ignorant and caused you to be disturbed. I’ll apologize to you on his behalf.” After saying that, the middle-aged man’s expression suddenly changed and he raised his eyebrows, “Wait, your name is Chu Nan?”
“Yes.”
“The one who obtained the first runner-up in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition below the age of 20?” The middle-aged man asked again. “That’s right.” Chu Nan nodded again.
The middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly and he carefully sized up Chu Nan from head to toe again. He suddenly snorted.
“I originally thought that you should have some ability, but I didn’t expect that you couldn’t even receive three moves from Zhengming. The two Supremacies felt that it was impossible for you to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future. It’s indeed true.”

Chu Nan frowned.
After knowing that he was Chu Nan, this middle-aged man’s attitude immediately became so vile and filled with hostility. Could it be that he had a grudge against him?
However, this was the first time he had seen him. Where did the hatred come from?
“Alright, Zhengming, let’s go. It’s meaningless to fight with a guy who can’t even reach the Void Break Realm.”
The middle-aged man waved his hand and left with Xue Zhengming.
When the surrounding guests saw this scene, they were a little strange.
“Why does President Xue seem to dislike this little guy?”
“Chu Nan? This name sounds familiar. Where have I heard of him?”
“I remember now. President Xue said that he was a runner-up for the martial arts competition below the age of 20 on West Cloud Planet. He was quite famous a few months ago. I heard that the ‘Foundation Martial Skill Promotion Act’ pushed out by the federation council was because of him!”
“Really? This kid has such great ability?”
“I think so…”
Hearing the whispers of the surrounding guests, Chu Nan sighed in his mind.
Just three months ago, he had been reported by so many media outlets and even caused a huge discussion. He could be considered a famous person in the federation at that time.
Now, only three months had passed, but there were already so few people who knew him.
However, most of the guests here were socialites of the various industries on the Purple Cloud Planet after all. They were basically unrelated to the martial artist world, so it was normal for them to not be concerned about this information.
Moreover, on the way home, Chu Nan had long realized that the so-called fame was meaningless to him and would only bring about negative effects. Therefore, he only sighed and ignored it.
On the other hand, Chu Nan was a little concerned about Xue Zhengming and his father who had suddenly appeared.
The palm technique Xue Zhengming used was indeed abnormally exquisite. If he could exchange blows with him for a period of time, he would definitely be able to obtain more inspiration. However, he did not expect that he would be stopped by his father’s appearance.
As for his father… Why was he so hostile to him?
“Brother, are you alright?” Chu Xiaoxi suddenly darted out and looked at Chu Nan nervously.
“Ah? It’s fine, of course I’m fine.” Chu Nan patted Chu Xiaoxi’s head, “What about you? Did you get the photo and autograph of those famous stars?” Chu Xiaoxi blushed, “I… I didn’t dare to go…” Chu Nan laughed and his gaze swept past the guests who surrounded him. He discovered that the few celebrities that Chu Xiaoxi had pointed out were also not far away and were looking over curiously. He smiled and walked towards them.
The surrounding guests immediately took the initiative to make way for him and let him walk directly to the few big stars.
“Hello.” Chu Nan smiled and greeted the few celebrities.
The few celebrities looked at each other in surprise and nodded at Chu Nan.
Chu Nan smiled as he looked at these famous stars who were said to be extremely famous in the entire Earth Federation. When he recalled the trouble he had faced due to his “fame”, the smile on his face became even more brilliant.
“Everyone, that’s my sister over there. She has a small request and hopes that you can satisfy her.”
