Yang Zhen’s sudden statement caught everyone off guard, and they all turned to look at him with furrowed brows.
“How dare you!” Master Ma roared in anger, pointing at Yang Zhen and said, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to speak here?”
The other onlookers gasped in unison. Their eyes filled with disbelief as they stared at Yang Zhen. The practitioners who recognized him had twitchy eyes and seemed to want to say something, but held themselves back and looked extremely uncomfortable.
“Master, this is Yang Zhen!” Yan Feng sneered in reveal.
It caught Yang Zhen by surprise that Yan Feng actually knew him, but then he understood. Although he had been keeping a low profile during these past days, his cat had been anything but subtle, causing chaos everywhere in East Forest Island. The fact that Yan Feng could recognize him by his cat was not surprising at all.
However, this cleverness did surprise Yang Zhen. It seemed that this guy was indeed a genius. No wonder he acted so boldly – genius often came with such temperaments.
Master Ma suddenly enlightened, made a sound of realization, and looked at Yang Zhen with an odd expression, “What do you intend to do?”
The rumors about Yang Zhen were rife on East Forest Island, and now many strong practitioners of the Void Cultivation Stage were discussing it.
It was said that Yang Zhen could defeat a practitioner of the Void Cultivation Stage with a single punch, even while being besieged by three others. Although this was surely an exaggeration, it couldn’t be entirely debunked.
Even the Alchemist Refining Grandmaster, who was also in the Void Cultivation Stage, felt awkward facing Yang Zhen. He was afraid that if they clashed, Yang Zhen might impulsively throw a fist.
After hearing Master Ma’s words, Yang Zhen glared back and retorted without hesitation, “I’m here to challenge your alchemy skills, of course. Moreover, I’m only interested in challenging you, old man. Do you dare to accept?” “Insolence!” Yan Feng glared as he was about to reprimand Yang Zhen, but his face suddenly went pale.
Yang Zhen moved his hand, slapping Yan Feng in the face. A crisp sound resonated, followed by chaos, and Yan Feng was thrown against the wall, scraping off a large chunk of it before he fell to the ground.
The slap stunned Yan Feng. He hadn’t expected Yang Zhen to strike under these circumstances, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words. Just as he was about to speak, two of his teeth dropped onto the stone floor, echoing with two clear sounds.
Yang Zhen curled his lips, moved his wrist around, and said, “Disrespectful fool, is it your place to speak?”
Upon hearing this, everyone drew in a sharp breath, their eyes filled with disbelief as they stared at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was indeed a maverick. He dared to lay hands on someone even in such a situation, proving his reputation as the one who stirred chaos across Shanggeng Mirror World.
But was he overestimating himself? By appearance, he seemed even younger than Yan Feng, yet he had the audacity to accuse Yan Feng of lacking respect?
Furious, Yan Feng stood up, pointing at Yang Zhen, trembling all over.
Fan Tong looked even angrier, about to lambast him when Hua Youyue stepped forward and loudly declared, “Yang Zhen is a special guest of the Changyue Tower, equivalent in status to the Tower Master.”
His!
Upon hearing these words, everyone drew in sharp breaths, their eyes wide with surprise.
They had not expected that Yang Zhen, so young, was already a special guest of Changyue Tower. Given this, wasn’t his status at par with Master Ma’s?
If this was the case, then it seemed that it wasn’t unreasonable for Yang Zhen to teach Yan Feng a lesson.
Surprised, even Fan Tong gave Yang Zhen another look and nodded, not saying anything else.
Although the main base of Changyue Tower was located in Flame City, it was also rising to power in East Forest Island. Since it had once received Elder Ci’s approval, no one wanted to offend Hua Youyue lightly.
Of course, this was only under normal circumstances!
With an indecipherable look, Master Ma glanced at Yang Zhen, snorted coldly, and passed over the topic of Yang Zhen striking Yan Feng, squinting as he said, “Do you want to compete in alchemy with me?”
Yang Zhen nodded, saying, “Otherwise, why would I come here if not to debate alchemy? Do I have ample time?”
Grandmaster Ma laughed heartily, pointing at Yang Zhen and saying, “Although I have already withdrawn from Changyue Tower, I did spend some time there. From the perspective of status and position, it seems quite comparable.”
A crowd of people were staring at Grandmaster Ma with strange expressions, not expecting him to say such a thing.
However, those who were quick-witted guessed Grandmaster Ma’s intentions. From his expression, it seemed that Grandmaster Ma didn’t consider Yang Zhen as his equal, but who cared? As long as Yang Zhen could debate alchemy with him and represent Changyue Tower, that would be enough.
The rumors about Yang Zhen were odd and peculiar, but no one had ever heard of his achievements in alchemy. He had audaciously challenged Grandmaster Ma for a debate of alchemy, which was almost certain death.
If Grandmaster Ma could ruthlessly suppress Yang Zhen at this moment, his status and position would inevitably rise dramatically!
“Can you represent Changyue Tower?”
“I can!” Hua Youyue suddenly said. Her voice was resolute and without a shred of hesitation.
All the surrounding people were in uproar, staring in disbelief at Hua Youyue and Yang Zhen, even Medicine Elder was taken aback, seemingly not anticipating Hua Youyue to say such words.
Even Yang Zhen was somewhat surprised. This girl was truly confused. He didn’t have much confidence in defeating Grandmaster Ma. Where did this girl’s misplaced confidence come from?
Hua Youyue looked at Grandmaster Ma with unwavering eyes, took a deep breath, and said, “If Yang Zhen loses, we will leave East Forest Island without further ado.”
Grandmaster Ma laughed heartily, looking at Hua Youyue in a mocking manner, then sighed, saying, “Actually… I don’t really want to do this, but Yang Zhen has gone too far. As the refining alchemist of East Forest Island, I need to justify for East Forest Island. Elder Qu and Patriarch Wang who died unjustly; how can they rest in peace?”
Hua Youyue looked at Grandmaster Ma indifferently and said calmly, “There’s no point in unnecessary words, we both know the reasons. If we lose, we will accept the bet. But what if you lose, Grandmaster Ma?”
Grandmaster Ma’s expression paused, and he smiled, “Master Hua, you must be joking. Would I lose to a child?”
“What if… you lose?” Hua Youyue stared unwaveringly at Grandmaster Ma, not backing down.
Grandmaster Ma looked at Yang Zhen with uncertainty, pondered for a moment, and said in a gloomy tone, “As I said, if I lose, I will give you the recipes and medicines, and from then on, I will no longer refine the six-star Life Spirit Pill.”
Hua Youyue sighed in relief, about to reply when Yang Zhen suddenly stepped forward, saying, “Old man, the medicines and recipes were originally ours. Perhaps, you misunderstand the word ‘return’?”
Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in uproar. Grandmaster Ma’s expression visibly changed from shocked to angry, his face fluctuating between dark and light.
Yang Zhen was right. The recipes and medicines were indeed belong to Changyue Tower, a fact that was undeniable.
But even though everyone knew this, who would dare to voice it out loud?
Unexpectedly, Yang Zhen was so disrespectful. He not only pointed it out, but also casually referred to Grandmaster Ma as ‘old man’, not taking him seriously at all.
Grandmaster Ma’s eyes flashed with an undercurrent of coldness. He squinted at Yang Zhen, asking, “Arrogant brat, what do you want?”
From the side, Fan Tong furrowed his brow, surveying Yang Zhen attentively.
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, staring at Grandmaster Ma, saying, “If I lose, it is undeniable that Changyue Tower will leave East Forest Island, and as for me, I leave myself at your mercy. Whether you chop me to pieces or smash me into a pulp, if I, Yang Zhen, even furrows my brow, I don’t deserve a good death. After death, I will descend into the Hell and never be reincarnated!”
Boom!
A thunderous sound suddenly echoed in the sky. Everyone present changed color, looking at Yang Zhen with shocked faces.
“To swear with a heart devil, reaching the heavens’ ear, has Yang Zhen gone mad?”
“He’s…he’s really arrogant, but he’s simply courting death..”
