The moment Fang Yong attacked, Feng Xia had also gathered his own strength. His Sword-Heart was as clear as a mirror and he was fully prepared to engage in close combat.
As the saying goes, strategically we should despise all our enemies, but tactically we should take them all seriously.
Then he watched as Fang Yong became weaker and weaker, until finally a soft punch "smashed" into his chest.
In fact, Feng Xia could not be sure if it could be described as a smash. After all, the power of this punch was really too weak…
"Fellow practitioner Fang, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Xia could not help but frowned and raised his voice. "Didn't you want to challenge me? Then bring out your masculinity and let's have a good fight!"
"Look at what you look like now?!"
"Of course I want—"
Fang Yong's face flushed red, his mind almost blank.
He could not figure it out at all. What went wrong?
He pretended to be simple and honest to trick Feng Xia into taking the bait. He lied about the life and death platform being the practice arena, and tricked Feng Xia to participate under the fair duel mode in order to pull Feng Xia to the same level as him. Even if he could not defeat Feng Xia, he could at least find out the background of this mysterious young man.
Then, as the person who contributed the most to this plan, he would definitely receive a generous reward.
However, that was not what happened.
His cultivation, which he was so proud of, was inexplicably suppressed to the lowest point, making him not much stronger than before he started cultivating. As for his pair of fiery boxing gloves, they were also suppressed by the restrictions of the life and death platform and became almost no different from ordinary boxing gloves!
"How did it… become like this?"
Fang Yong's face was filled with confusion.
His cultivation level was suppressed so much. That would mean that his cultivation level was originally much much higher than the mysterious Feng Xia?
Also, since the power of the fiery boxing gloves had been suppressed, it meant that Feng Xia… did not have any treasures on him?
Then…
How did Feng Xia become so strong!
"What… what cultivation level are you at?!"
"Cultivation level?"
Feng Xia was stumped when he heard this. Then, he scratched his head and a smile appeared on his face. He looked even more simple and honest than Fang Yong from earlier. "I reckon that I'll be able to open my first Mystical Wheel in a few months."
Fang Yong's jaw dropped.
A few months before… opening the first Mystical Wheel?!
That meant that this fellow was not even at the Inception Realm. He went to the life and death platform with a guy who had not even opened a Mystical Wheel and even chose the fair duel mode. Now he understood why his cultivation was suppressed to the point of a beginner.
As a disciple who had been in the sect for many years, Fang Yong could instantly analyze the entire process.
However, he understood the logic, but…
Why was Feng Xia so strong then?!
"From the looks of it, fellow practitioner Fang doesn't intend to attack anymore? In that case, it should be my turn now."
Feng Xia slowly raised a hand, his fingers clenched into a fist.
Seeing this, Fang Yong was shocked in spite of himself. He raised his hand and tried to block this attack.
However, in the next moment.
Feng Xia's fist suddenly enlarged in his vision!
Bang!
A clear fist mark appeared on Fang Yong's face. The bridge of his nose was sunken, and his teeth flew everywhere. His body was sent flying into the air as if he had been hit by an elephant. Finally, he hit the light screen of the life and death platform.
Boom!
A loud bang spread throughout the Duel Hall.
At this moment, the smiles on the faces of Ye Yi and Mo Yushu had yet to fade.
The two of them were still talking and laughing away, imagining how things would progress from now on.
"It's true what they say about life and death being decided on the life and death platform."
A faint smile flashed in Mo Yushu's eyes and he thought, "No matter where you come from, no matter what your cultivation level is, as long as everything about you is figured out, it means that your life and death… is in the hands of someone else.
Suddenly…
Boom!!
Mo Yushu's pupils constricted and his body swayed. He immediately cried out, "How did the battle end so quickly? Could it be that this Feng Xia is even weaker than expected?"
"This, this, this… this is a little too fast?"
Ye Yi could not help but open his mouth wide. He could clearly see that the light screen over the life and death platform was dissipating, which meant that one party had been completely defeated!
However, because of the huge impact just now, there was a large amount of dust over the life and death platform. At their cultivation levels, their divine senses were not refined enough to sense who the winner was.
"Brother Fang was well-prepared and had the upper hand. He must be the one who had attacked with lightning speed and made that Feng Xia… Ah!"
Slap!
Before he could finish, Ye Yi felt a sharp pain on his face. It was a small palm making intimate contact with his newly recovered face.
"It's you… it's you again!"
Ye Yi took a few steps back after the blow, one side of his cheek swelling up. When he could see the other person clearly, a fiery anger he had never felt before began to fill his chest.
The person who suddenly slapped him was Zhu Youniang, who had remained very quiet earlier. It was said that… she was Feng Xia's companion!
"Calm down, calm down. I'm just a little curious. How did your face heal so quickly?"
"I don't think I've provoked you, but you've attacked me time and time again. Do you really think I'm afraid of you—"
Ye Yi felt as if fiery flames were burning his chest, causing his vital energy to boil over involuntarily. His entire body seemed to be filled with a faint light and there was even a faint shadow of a mystical wheel, surrounded by a fiery stream of light, condensing into a solid object at an astonishing speed behind his head!
Mystical Wheel!
Next to him, Mo Yushu was caught by surprise. Then, he cupped his fists and said with a smile, "It looks like I have to congratulate Brother Ye on becoming the first person among the younger generation of the Thousand Autumn Valley to open a Mystical Wheel. What a blessing in disguise."
Among the younger generation of disciples in the Thousand Autumn Valley, no one had yet to open a Mystical Wheel and stepped into the Inception Realm. Even their Eldest Brother, Bai Canghai, was still one step away.
Originally, Ye Yi was also just one step away.
However, under the heat of the unprecedentedly intense anger, he actually accelerated this process at a shocking speed and was about to condense his first Fire Mystical Wheel!
Once the Fire Mystical Wheel was completely established, Ye Yi would be the first person to achieve this feat among the younger generation of the Thousand Autumn Valley!
"Power… I feel power! Magnificent power like raging flames!"
Under the light of the shadowy Fire Mystical Wheel, Ye Yi's face seemed to be glowing. He suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the black-haired girl. "Today is your…"
Zhu Youniang seemed to sense the change in him and turned her head towards him curiously.
At the same time, the shadows of numerous Mystical Wheels, surrounded by dark black light, jumped out from behind her head one after another. There were a total of eight of them!
"I think I have this thing too!"
