Chapter 29: Are You Talking About Me?

“You talking about me?”

Fang Zhan turned around in disbelief, his gaze meeting Ji Yang’s calm eyes.

“Brother, make your move!”

Ji Yang said no more, pointing his entry-level flying sword directly at Fang Zhan.

He clearly heard the earlier voices; they were loud enough.

He had originally planned to endure it.

But being called “a farmer” and “a jumping clown” to his face! How could he let it slide? They truly did not take him, a person of Talent Jealousy, seriously!

Of course, there was another reason; the Fang Zhan before him was only at the Eighth level of Qi Refinement, one level lower than that Wu Yun. Defeating him should be no big deal.

Looking at the tip of the sword aimed at him, Fang Zhan’s face darkened, then he laughed in anger and nodded repeatedly:

“Good, good! No wonder you’re a prodigy of the sect; you indeed have guts.”

“Then today, Brother will experience a bit of my skills!”

After he spoke, Fang Zhan leaped slightly, standing opposite Ji Yang.

The surrounding outer disciples gasped in astonishment at Ji Yang’s provocation toward Fang Zhan.

“Is that Brother Fang Zhan?”

“Indeed! In the last recruitment conference, Brother Fang was one of the top talents, directly accepted by Master Hao of Denglong Peak. Although he doesn’t match exceptional talents, his gifts are still impressive!”

“In just ten years, Brother Fang has already reached the Eighth level of Qi Refinement.”

“Even though Brother Fang is only at the Eighth level, ordinary disciples at the Tenth level of Qi Refinement aren’t his match!”

“This Junior Brother Ji is really bold!”

Hearing the comments from the crowd, Fang Zhan swept his gaze over them, letting out a cold snort.

The thing he despised the most was people talking about his top talents. Although many envied this gift, Fang Zhan was not satisfied with it; he aimed to surpass those with exceptional talents! He wanted to get ahead of them and show that talent does not determine everything!

So, when he learned that Ji Yang, with Talent Jealousy surpassing even exceptional talents, had come out, he rushed over at once.

His previous remarks were intentional, meant to provoke Ji Yang! To make him unable to resist challenging himself.

And Ji Yang, this arrogant and foolish genius, indeed fell into the trap, wanting to fight him at the second level of Qi Refinement.

On the surface, Fang Zhan seemed angry, but inside, he was already laughing.

Whoever gets stomped on today, would it be this Talent Jealousy who dared to rise up? Once he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, he’ll challenge those with exceptional talents!

He already had plans laid out for the coming years; right now, all he needed was to stomp this Talent Jealousy down!

Hearing the others’ discussions, Ji Yang was taken aback. He had thought Fang Zhan at the Eighth level of Qi Refinement would be easier to deal with, but it seemed he had stumbled upon something tougher.

Yet, it was too late; Ji Yang didn’t mind. With his realm at the second level of Qi Refinement, he figured he should manage.

“Place your bets, place your bets, hurry up and place your bets!”

“Ji Yang against Brother Fang Zhan; the odds…”

The battle had not yet begun, and the crowd below stirred.

Ji Yang turned his gaze, taking another look at the booking monk, then withdrew his eyes and focused on Fang Zhan before him.

Golden Dafu, who had been scanned by Ji Yang’s gaze, shrank his neck and looked up at the sky. The weather was nice today, but why did he feel the wind was a bit loud?

“Since this is a duel, it must be fair!”

“Let’s do it this way, Junior Brother Ji, I won’t use my level to suppress you; in today’s battle, I will also fight at the second level of Qi Refinement!”

Fang Zhan, on the opposite side, had lost the earlier anger and instead smiled, yet the pride in his words was unmistakable.

“Brother Fang truly deserves to be a senior!”

“How benevolent! Still treating others with courtesy in the face of provocation!”

Hearing Fang Zhan’s words, many disciples below praised his generosity and fairness, conveniently ignoring his previous disdain.

At this moment, Ji Yang focused, carefully observing Fang Zhan before him.

He originally thought this person really looked down on him, but now it seemed he was well-prepared. This speech had placed him on a moral high ground.

If he won, his reputation would soar; even if he lost, he could still earn a good name. Fighting at the same level and losing would not be shameful.

After Fang Zhan spoke, his aura gradually faded, clearly putting himself down to the second level of Qi Refinement!

Though both were at the second level, the difference was not only in their realms. For instance, Fang Zhan had practiced spells for ten years, not to mention his combat skills were sure to be more refined.

In contrast, Ji Yang had just exchanged for dozens of spells yesterday and might not have mastered any yet!

But the crowd evidently didn’t care about that; at least from the situation on scene, it seemed quite fair!

“Brother Fang doesn’t need to do that; whether he suppresses his level or not, it’s all the same!”

Ji Yang spoke calmly.

Such arrogant words immediately attracted attacks from those around:

“This person is really arrogant! Brother Fang was kind, and he doesn’t even appreciate it!”

“Exactly! If Brother Fang didn’t suppress his level, he probably wouldn’t take even one hit!”

Fang Zhan’s smile faded, his eyes turning cold. Was this meant to belittle him?

As the two’s auras expanded, the surrounding noise instantly quieted down.

Among the crowd, Wu Yun finally squeezed his way through, and upon seeing the two ready to fight, a hint of surprise crossed his face. Wasn’t Ji Yang waiting for him?

Why was he fighting someone else first?

At this moment, everyone was focused on the changes in the arena and didn’t pay much attention to Wu Yun’s arrival.

Wu Yun quickly learned what had happened from those around him. When he discovered the opponent was Fang Zhan, his brow furrowed. Especially when he saw Fang Zhan also suppressing his realm, he became even more puzzled regarding his intentions.

Since they were at the same level, winning would certainly be better, but as someone with average talents, he really didn’t have much confidence, so he would have preferred to fight at his original realm.

Now that Fang Zhan had lowered his level, how would he fight?

Forget it; he decided to just watch for now.

“Junior Brother, make your move! Otherwise, you’ll miss your chance!”

Fang Zhan pretended to be indifferent, but the real reason was that he didn’t want to mine.

Ji Yang wasted no time; his goal was to enter the mining site, and it really wasn’t wise to waste too much time outside.
