Chapter 973 Ninth Place! (2)
Nodding his head, the grey-robed Fan De smiled and cupped his hands at the purple-robed elder, before his gaze scanned the remaining Dao Kings and Dao Emperors at the peak of the mountain.
His eyes lingered on Shun Long, Xuan Bo, and Huang Yun for a few seconds longer, as if he was struggling internally. After all, these three were the most interesting targets right now for anyone in the seventh trial, especially that unknown Dao King sitting in first place.
Eventually however, Fan Deâs gaze landed on a short, red-robed Dao Emperor with deep purple eyes sitting just a few meters away from Huang Yun. Stepping forward, Fan De bowed slightly and said in a deep voice
âElder brother Wei, my name is Fan De and Iâm the disciple of venerable Yin. I have long since heard of elder brotherâs name and have been meaning to ask you for some pointers. I hope elder brother wonât mind me asking for a spar.â
Fan Deâs voice and actions were both respectful, but the way he looked at the red-robed youth was the exact opposite. Right now, the grey-robed Fan De looked more like a hungry beast that was ready to devour the red-robed Dao Emperor in front of him.
âThe disciple of venerable Yin?â The seated Wei Guoyang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the bowing Fan De with a clear look of surprise on his face.
âAre you talking about Grandmaster Yin, the one who set up the protective formations around the Tianxuan dynastyâs palace and the headquarters of the âWhite Tiger chamber of commerceâ?â
The remaining Dao Kings and Dao Emperors on the mountain peak all turned to look at Fan De when they heard that, looks of astonishment apparent on their faces.
Grandmaster Yin! This was a name that every powerful faction of the central continent had heard of and one that couldnât be taken lightly. It belonged to the most renowned formation master in the entire central continent, and one who had connections with every peak power out there. Whether it was the Tianxuan dynasty, the âWhite Tiger chamber of commerceâ, or the eight ancient families, every one of them had to give Grandmaster Yin face just by hearing his name. After all, this old monster had been the one who had set up the protective formations around the headquarters of most major powers in the central continent.
If this Fan De was really the disciple of such a person, then his status was indeed no different from Xuan Boâs, Huang Yunâs, or âyoung lady Niuâsâ.
At this point, even Shun Long was somewhat interested in this grey-robed youth born with the âBlazing Sun unique physiqueâ. Someone blessed with an extraordinary affinity to fire like this Fan De wouldnât even need an earth flame if he decided to become a renowned alchemist or formation master in the future.
Nodding his head, the grey-robed youth cupped his hands at Wei Guoyang and answered with a smile
âIt seems that brother Wei has already heard of my masterâs name. Thatâs good. To be honest, I was initially planning to challenge someone in the top 3 instead of brother Wei, but Iâve already exchanged pointers with brother Huang in the past, so thereâs no point in doing so again.â
As he finished speaking, Fan De threw one last look at the distant Huang Yun and cupped his hands, before focusing on Wei Guoyang once more. Æreewebηoveâ.com
Clearly, his spar with the successor of the ancient Huang family had left a lot to be desired, but Fan De wasnât interested in challenging Huang Yun a second time just yet. Narrowing his eyes, the red-robed Wei Guoyang took a deep breath and suppressed the brewing anger in his heart before he answered coldly
âIt seems that junior brother Fan thinks Iâm weaker than Huang Yun?! Alright then. If you really want to spar, I donât mind playing with you for a bit. However, keep this in mind; Whether you are the disciple of Grandmaster Yin or not, Iâm not responsible for what happens during our fight. You better not blame me if you get hurt.â
The grey-robed Fan De smiled and bowed once more before he answered calmly
âNaturally. I hope brother Wei wonât blame me eitherâŠâ
âHmph!â Wei Guoyang harrumphed and stepped forward unwilling to exchange any more words.
No matter what, it was clear that Fan De was looking down on him, making Wei Guoyang boil with fury inwardly.
After all, from the start of the seventh trial, Wei Guoyang had considered himself as someone on the same level as Huang Yun, and just slightly weaker than Xuan Bo. Naturally, he had been planning on challenging Huang Yun or even Shun Long when his turn came, and was going to enter the top 3 of the âHeavenly Rankingsâ.
So how could he allow an unknown Dao King to look down on him so blatantly? Even if that person was the disciple of a renowned âEarth Immortalâ, Wei Guoyang didnât consider this Fan De or even âyoung lady Niuâ to be his opponents.
And yet, although Fan De hadnât said it out loud, it was obvious that he had drawn a distinction between Huang Yunâs and Wei Guoyangâs strengths, clearly considering the latter weaker than those in the top three.
Clenching his fist, Fan De took one more step forward, this time appearing right in front of Wei Guoyang as he called out
âThen, brother Wei.. excuse me.â As Fan Deâs fist made contact with Wei Guoyang, the grey-robed youth and the red-robed Dao Emperor both vanished from the mountain peak, leaving behind a scene of silence and stillness.
The surrounding Dao Kings and Dao Emperors simply sat down and waited for the fight to come to an end, not exchanging any words between them. Although this fight wasnât one to decide the top 3, Wei Guoyang was still a genius ranked in 4th place in the âHeavenly Rankingsâ. Could he really lose to someone like Fan De?
The answer to this question arrived merely half an hour later. However, the scene that followed was one that nobody had expected to see!
