Thedesiccated monk stood up with a burst, pointing at Yang Zhen and exclaimed, “Arrogant brat, don’t think that I would not dare to kill you here!”
Boom!
A horrifying energy wave suddenly exploded from the desiccated monk’s body, energy burst forth, and a violent aura charged towards Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen grunted, instantaneously breaking into a cold sweat, but his face lit up with a frenzied and eager expression.
“You can try!”
Hua Youyue shot Yang Zhen a surprised glance, and with a casual wave of her hand, a stream of energy poured towards the turbulent golden wave, instantly dissipating the horrifying pressure.
“Desiccated monk, are you taking me too lightly?
The desiccated monk coldly snorted, squinting and said, “Does the Flower
Tower Master intend to lift a finger for such an insolent and ignorant brat of a disciple?”
Hua Youyue’s expression hardened, suddenly holding a long sword releasing an eerie chill, causing a drop in temperature around her. A refreshing scent spread into the surroundings, stunning all the surrounding practitioners all at once.
To fight or not to fight, it was self-evident!
Tan Fenglie hurriedly stood up, and chuckled, “Let’s all calm down. There’s no need to get all worked up for something so trivial. How about we resolve any and all grudges after the tri-nation competition?”
The desiccated monk grimly glanced at Yang Zhen and laughed, “Well said, I
will give you this face!”
Then, the desiccated monk and the middle-aged gentleman exchanged a glance and burst into laughter before sitting back down.
Hua Youyue nodded at Tan Fenglie. When she turned around, she already had a glittering golden pill in her hand.
“Soul Rousing Pill?”
The middle-aged gentleman exclaimed, unable to believe his eyes as he stared at Hua Youyue, whispering, “Flower Tower Master, is it not overkill to use such a precious Soul Rousing Pill just for some Spirit Soul trails?”
A hint of a smile crossed Hua Youyue’s face, she spoke slowly, “What’s it to you…What I choose to do, has nothing to do with you, right?
Yang Zhen was taken aback. Even though he hadn’t heard of a Soul Rousing Pill before, he could still sense the extraordinary nature of this pill. He didn’t expect Hua Youyue to value him so much. Was there something strange about this?
The middle-aged gentlemen furrowed his brow and turned to Tan Fenglie, whispering,” Tan city master, a Soul Rousing Pill is a Heaven-level pill and is extremely rare, using it in such a competition, I’m afraid it isn’t quite fair to the others, don’t you think?”
Tan Fenglie furrowed his eyebrows, casting a deep glance at Hua Youyue, he
was about to speak but stopped.
Then, Hua Youyue turned to Yang Zhen and said, “Now that they’ve all entered the fifth level, if you were to take this Soul Rousing Pill, maybe you could catch up. But it might be a bit difficult to get to the seventh level. I also have a Heaven-level common Cultivation Method here named Soul Refinement Scripture… which one would you like to choose?
Upon hearing this, all eyes fell on Yang Zhen.
Especially the desiccated monk and the middle-aged gentleman, the expressions on their faces changed unpredictably.
Even a fool would know to choose the Soul Rousing Pill over practicing some
Soul Refinement Scripture at this point.
Yang Zhen was not just not a fool but craftier than a monkey. The choice Hua Youyue gave was basically no different from handing over the Soul Rousing Pill directly, right?
Tan Fenglie opened his mouth to speak but then said nothing. After all, Yang Zhen had not made a choice yet, and considering the fairness of the competition, he could not prematurely obstruct Hua Youyue.
At the Cloud Platform, everyone understood Yang Zhen’s cunningness. They silently watched as Yang Zhen made his choice, their expressions varied, but most of them bore a look of disappointment.
Nothing is as convincing as seeing for yourself. At first, people still believed that Yang Zhen was a genius, at the very least, a talented person with some luck. But now, seeing Yang Zhen behaving this way, their impressions of him plummeted immediately.
If Yang Zhen had directly asked Hua Youyue for the Soul Rousing Pill without practicing the Spirit Soul power, even though people might try to stop him for the sake of fairness in the competition, they wouldn’t look down upon him for that, after all, a good man knows when to choose wisely.
But Yang Zhen, taking the guise of seeking Cultivation Methods to demonstrate his cleverness, wasn’t there anyone in the crowd who could see through his tactic?
The ascetic and middle-aged gentleman exchanged a glance, both showing a look of disdain in their eyes. To them, this trivial cunning was nothing short of insulting their intelligence. Now they both didn’t even feel like opposing the Spirit Soul Pill anymore.
For Yang Zhen who resorted to such small tricks, even if he were to take the Spirit Soul Pill on the spot and attempt the trial, they wouldn’t fear him.
The ascetic sneered, looking at Yang Zhen and said, “Young man, I have seen many geniuses, but those fishing for fame and compliments always end up in a terrible state. You may as well keep your wits to yourself, so as not to be laughed at by the public.”
The middle-aged man also nodded, but cast a somewhat confused look at Hua Youyue, seemingly not understanding why she, given her status and strength at this time, would cooperate with Yang Zhen to such a degree. From any angle, it seemed unnecessary for her to put so much effort into helping Yang
Zhen.
Could it be that there was any unknown secret about the ‘Sky Crossing Void’ that Yang Zhen had grasped?
While the middle-aged man was puzzled, Yang Zhen looked at the sneering ascetic with a weird expression, a look of someone staring at a fool that shocked everyone present.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Yang Zhen snorted and picked up the Spirit Soul Refining Scripture from Hua Youyue’s hands.
“HOW impudent, arrogant boy… What?” The ascetic was repeatedly defied by Yang Zhen, turning his expression to furious agitation. But when he saw that Yang Zhen had actually picked up the Cultivation Method from Hua Youyue’s hand, he suddenly looked astonished.
Not just the ascetic, everyone else was also stunned. They didn’t expect Yang Zhen to really choose the Cultivation Method, how could that be possible?
Unless one was a fool, everyone knew that the Spirit Soul Pill was a better choice at this juncture.
No under such circumstances, there could only be one choice – to choose the Spirit Soul Pill. And to choose the Cultivation Method for further cultivation at this point?
What a joke!
Even Hua Youyue was taken aback by Yang Zhen’s choice, asking with a strange look on her face, “You really choose the Spirit Soul Refining Scripture?” Yang Zhen looked surprised, “Isn’t it? The Spirit Soul Pill is a consumable, it can only be eaten once. When the effects are gone, they’re gone. But the Spirit Soul Refining Scripture can refine one’s Spirit Soul, obtaining a true Spirit Soul
Power…”
Upon saying this, Yang Zhen glanced at the ascetic and the middle-aged man, and continued, “Only a fool would ignore the Cultivation Method and choose a consumable.”
With these words out, everyone went speechless. Even though they knew Yang Zhen was being cunning, they couldn’t help but feel that what he said made an absurd amount of sense.
Both the ascetic and the middle-aged man’s faces turned ashen, glaring at Yang Zhen, “The poor monk really wants to see how much longer you can keep up this act!”
Hearing this, people realized wryly. Could Yang Zhen be finding it hard to get off his high horse, hellbent on choosing the Spirit Soul Refining Scripture for the sake of face?
If that were the case, he probably wouldn’t be able to keep up the act much longer and his true colors were bound to be exposed.
At this point, Yun Jie and Zeng Bishu, among others, had already become familiar with the five-layer Spirit Soul suppression and were advancing towards the sixth layer. With their talent and the intensity of their Spirit Soul Power, they should be able to enter the seventh or even the eighth layer.
No matter what, Yang Zhen would not be able to reach the seventh layer before them, or even reach it at all.
Seeing Yang Zhen seem determined to choose the Spirit Soul Refining Scripture, Hua Youyue frowned, hesitated to speak, and looked at Yang Zhen with puzzlement in her eyes.
just as if Hua Youyue had originally thought she already knew Yang Zhen well, but found out that the Yang Zhen she knew was just the tip of the iceberg.
Could Yang Zhen create another miracle again?
Seeing Yang Zhen wink at her, Hua Youyue’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know why, but she herself couldn’t suppress that ridiculous thought, as if Yang Zhen was about to surprise everyone again.
Upon thinking of this, Hua Youyue took a deep breath and shook her head bitterly.
Create another miracle, how could that be possible!
“Pretentious!”, many people sneered at Yang Zhen’s performance.
Yang Zhen ignored the astonished looks of the crowd, winked at Hua Youyue and laughed heartily as he turned to leave, “I never put on airs, because I… am genuinely amazing!”
