Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present was taken aback.
Ding Kiqi, who was scolded by Yang Zhen, instead of getting angry, burst out laughing. He looked very pleased and amazed:
“Yang Zhen, despite your shameless dishonesty, your remarks just now have completely exposed you. I thought you were self-confident because you had made some preparations ahead of time, but it turns out you are just overly conceited. You don’t know a thing about this competition, haha, this is the biggest joke I’ve heard this year!”
The ashen expressions on Zeng Bishu and Yun Jie’s faces had disappeared, replaced with astonishment and forced laughter.
“We were almost perturbed by such a presumptuous man. It seems we need to push harder.” Zeng Bishu brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes as if trying to brush off the bad luck broutht by Yang Zhen.
Yun Jie smiled lightly, “You’re right, Brother Zeng. I shouldn’t have misunderstood. I think there’s no need for the Dark Gold Tower Badge on Yang Zhen.”?????????????????????? &
Zeng Bishu laughed heartily, looking at Yun Jie with interest and saying “Brother Yun, upon hearing your words, I’ve become interested. Why don’t we see who’ll end up with the badge?”
The color drained from Yun Jie’s face, he squinted his eyes and asked, “Brother Zeng, have you mastered the Mindless Shadow of the Mindless Sect?” “Alas, sadly, just a bit later than Brother Yun!”
When these words left Zeng Bishu’s mouth, the faces of everyone present changed dramatically. If the Sky Crossing Void of Changyue Tower were the most mysterious and unpredictable martial art in the three countries, then the Golden Cicada Step would be the most profound Buddhist martial art, and the Mindless Shadow of the Mindless Sect, the most peculiar Demon Sect martial technique- all three being extraordinarily superior martial techniques. As for which of these three martial techniques was the strongest, because no one had yet understood the Sky Crossing Void, it was considered the least by default, whereas the Golden Cicada Step and the Mindless Shadow were on par at the forefront.
upon hearing that Zeng Bishu had successfully mastered the Mindless Shadow, and apparently had done so some time ago, everyone present gasped in surprise.
Yun Jie and Zeng Bishu truly were among the most powerful disciples of this generation’s Great Sect, and even the Princess of the Nether Sun Country and Lu Xueqing from Dan Valley Lake fell short in comparison.
It seemed their reputations were not unearned.
Lan Fangyue didn’t seem shocked that Zeng Bishu had mastered the Mindless Shadow. She looked at Yang Zhen in a daze and asked in a low voice, “Did you deliberately deceive them or do you really not know about the contest?” With a sincere face, Yang Zhen replied, “I really don’t know!”
Lan Fangyue gave Yang Zhen a blank glance with a look that said ‘how can I believe you’.
Yang Zhen was speechless and looked up to the sky!
Suddenly, there was a clamor in the crowd. Yang Zhen looked up and was taken by surprise.
On the Cloud Platform at the top of the Bright Peak, a middle-aged man in dark gold clothes appeared, emitting breathtaking Qi, at least from the powerful Nascent Soul Stage.
To condense one’s Essence into the Sea, gather it into the Golden Pill and achieve the Golden Core Stage was already remarkable. But when a Golden Core Stage Expert broke the Golden Pill and became a Nascent Soul Stage being, their strength would have to rise by leaps and bounds.
“It’s Tan Fenglie, the master of Flame City! No wonder he is among the most outstanding Nascent Soul Stage Experts, the aura radiating from his body is incredibly terrifying.”
“So this is a Nascent Soul Stage Expert, as expected, they are highly impressive and carry an overwhelming presence.”
People below the stage started discussing, and Yang Zhen also learned of this middle-aged man’s identity; it was Tan Fenglie, the owner of Flame City! It was said that Tan Fenglie had once followed the ruler of the Nether Sun Country to campaign in the East Sea, causing upheaval and achieving great success. Now, looking at the upright-looking middle-aged man, there was no evil aura whatsoever!
After the bell rang, several people walked out from behind Tan Fenglie Hua Youyue was one of them and was undeniably the most conspicuous. Despite her young age, standing among these people, she didn’t feel inferior and, on the contrary, her youth and beauty drew more attention.
The rest of them were the leaders of this Three-Country Trial, at least elders of the sects, and even many sect masters came in person.
After everyone had taken their seats, Tan Fenglie rose to his feet, made some opening remarks about the three-nation trials, and then said to the crowd with a grin, “The top three in this three-nation trial will not only receive awards from the six great sects of the three countries but will also have the opportunity to be recommended for overseas trials”
“What?”
The crowd below was in an uproar, all showing expressions of shock. Even those young and powerful warriors, who had initially seemed indifferent, were taken aback upon hearing this, their eyes bursting with intense fighting spirit. The concept of overseas trials held a lethal attraction for all young practitioners. Not only would they be competing against the most formidable young practitioners from the Nether State mainland, but they would also encounter practitioners from other lands-including the elite disciples of sects eyond this earthly realm. These were the true cultivators!
Many practitioners were buzzing with excitement, speculating about who would make it into the top three. Almost unanimously, they turned their gaze towards Yun Jie and the others.
Yun Jie laughed heartily and exchanged glances with Zeng Bishu “Who would’ve guessed that the top three in this tri-nation trial would be qualified for the overseas trials? Those who didn’t turn up must be feeling quite disappointed now.”
Zeng Bishu responded with a smile, “Those arrogant fools who want to qualify for the overseas trials might have to risk their lives.”
The crowd was in high spirits, having momentarily forgotten about Yang Zhen who should have been the center of attention.
Yang Zhen, bored amongst the crowd and listening to Tan Fenglie prattle on retorted, “They still haven’t announced what the contest is. This is so mundane, I’m about to fall asleep.”
Just as Lan Fangyue was about to speak, the voice of Tan Fenglie echoed through again, “Since the environment overseas is extremely dangerous-with a constant influx of ferocious beasts, and perilous territories that can instantly kill practitioners entering-we aim for this trial to enhance your survival potential overseas. The first trial will test your spirit soul strength. You should have already received this news and prepared accordingly.”
Everyone nodded, as rumors about this news had circulated earlier. Although unconfirmed, many had made preparations just in case, since it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Yang Zhen was dumbfounded, “This… what preparation? No one told me about it.”
Lan Fangyue gave a wry smile, ”1 told you twice. But you didn’t listen.”
Yang Zhen was taken aback. He had been so engrossed with his martial skills and cultivation methods that he hadn’t fully prepared. Now that he knew the content of the trials, he suddenly realized that he had not practiced any cultivation method specifically to strengthen his spirit soul.
He was done, this was going to be quite a sight!
“You should all know the rules by now. Within a hundred meters of the Tiantong staff, I will open the refining matrix at the peak of the Mount of Light. Those who stay the closest to the Tiantong staff, and those who stay the longest, will be deemed the winner!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd below stirred and started preparing themselves.
Yun Jie laughed heartily. He glanced at Yang Zhen by his side, a playful smirk on his face, and exaggeratedly said, “What, Brother Yang has lost confidence in himself?”
Yang Zhen nodded, “Indeed, I need to practice a fad refining the spirit soul.” Upon hearing this, everyone in the arena was taken aback. Then they all burst into laughter, unable to stop.
“What…what did 1 hear? He’s only thinking about practicing the soul-refining method now?”
“Instead of this, it would be better to find some talisman to protect the spirit soul, has Yang Zhen scared himself silly?”
“Shouldn’t it be, doesn’t he really know the content of this trial?”
“Serves him right, just a big show-off, Yang Zhen was too arrogant, this time he made a fool of himself.”
“Overturned in the gutter, this is what it means to be overturned in the gutter!” Yang Zhen glanced at the practitioners who were taking delight in his misfortune, a faint smile crossed his face, and he slowly said, “I remember you
