Chapter 315: Challenge
“Are you Feng Yu?”
Before Ji Yang could think much, a young man strode forward, looking down at Ji Yang with a sneer.
“Hmph, he actually got to challenge first!”
The previously noisy, plump cultivator who claimed he would be the first to challenge Ji Yang snorted lightly and then muttered to himself,
“Forget it, as a senior brother, I should give way to the other junior brothers.”
Upon hearing this, many disciples around glanced between the two.
The young man was at the Middle Stage of Yuan Ying, while the plump cultivator was only at the Early Stage of Yuan Ying—who was the real senior brother?
Bah! How shameless!
Despite the disdain from the other disciples, the plump cultivator paid no mind.
“What advice do you have, senior brother?” Ji Yang responded with a cupped fist.
Although he expected many disciples to challenge him, he didn’t expect them to be so impatient. Here he was, still at Alchemy Peak, being openly challenged.
The other disciples, seeing someone step up first, only stood by quietly to observe, not planning to intervene.
They also wanted to see what this disciple named Feng Yu was capable of, and if the first senior brother wasn’t a match for him, they could join in later!
“I am Chang Xi, an inner disciple of Qi Peak, and today I come to seek guidance from Junior Brother Feng!”
“Please, junior brother!”
The young man gave Ji Yang no chance to refuse.
As soon as he finished speaking, he produced a strange, umbrella-shaped magical artifact! He took a stance inviting Ji Yang to make the first move.
“This senior brother’s magical artifact is quite special. It seems to contain many materials, and judging by its appearance, it should be a combination of offense and defense. It even has some characteristics of treasure.”
A fellow disciple from Qi Peak spoke up.
Disciples from Qi Peak naturally put considerable effort into their magical artifacts.
Hearing this, the young man smiled proudly, for he had personally crafted this magical artifact, and he had even received praise for it from the sect elders.
And this artifact was far from simple!
While he taught Ji Yang a lesson, he would showcase the effects of his artifact, and not only would his reputation soar, but perhaps he could also catch Senior Sister Ning’s attention!
“Several deacons, what do you think?”
As the tension built in the air, a disciple from Alchemy Peak looked toward the deacons responsible for the monthly assessment.
These deacons were not only in charge of the monthly assessment; they also held the authority to handle other matters occurring at Alchemy Peak, and they could step in if needed.
Unexpectedly, one of the deacons raised a hand slightly and said,
“Not urgent, let’s see how it goes!”
Another deacon nodded and added,
“Indeed, Deacon Gong makes a good point. This young man managed to refine several dozens of pills in a short time; his strength is definitely not as simple as it seems. We should observe his true capabilities.”
Seeing the curious expressions on the faces of the other servants, the disciple stopped asking questions and simply stood aside to watch.
Noticing that no one came forward to stop him, Ji Yang sighed inwardly; it seemed that this battle was unavoidable.
As expected from the Heaven Demon Sect, even an Alchemist could not escape the influence of the sect.
Looking around, aside from the young man, he wondered how many more eager challengers were waiting.
If they came one after another to challenge him, he estimated he wouldn’t have much time left to refine pills.
To avoid any potential troubles later, this battle not only had to be fought but also needed to showcase a certain level of strength.
However, this posed a challenge for Ji Yang, as despite already being at the Spirit Transformation Stage with many magical abilities, his current identity only reflected the Early Stage of Yuan Ying.
This meant he couldn’t utilize the methods of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator.
Additionally, he could not use his unique magical powers; the Heaven Demon Sect must have already gathered information about him. If he revealed them, he could quickly get his identity exposed.
This left Ji Yang in a difficult position—how should he fight now?
At that moment, Ji Yang recalled what he had learned so far.
“Junior Brother, why aren’t you making a move?”
Seeing Ji Yang hesitate, the young man opposite him frowned.
He was two small realms higher than Ji Yang, so he expected Ji Yang to strike first. However, if Ji Yang thought he could stall for time, he would not allow it.
In the Heaven Demon Sect, as long as one did not cross a major realm, there was no issue.
If one lost, they could only blame their lack of strength! This was the principle of the Heaven Demon Sect!
“Then I won’t hold back! Senior Brother, please take my attack!”
With that, Ji Yang’s magical energy surged in his hands, and his aura changed drastically!
Seeing Ji Yang make a move, everyone else watched with serious expressions, their faces showing a hint of solemnity.
This person truly had hidden depths!
Meanwhile, the young man as his opponent did not rush to attack. Instead, he activated his umbrella-like magical tool, which instantly transformed into a shield, wrapping his body inside.
Though his expression was confident, the young man took this seriously and did not underestimate the strength of Feng Yu!
Just as everyone was intently watching Ji Yang, eager to see what techniques he would use.
In the next moment, they all saw two deep blue fireballs appear in Ji Yang’s palms!
These fireballs were a dark shade, their centers having a hint of pale white. The blazing flames danced in the air, creating ripples that confused the onlookers’ sight.
However, when the fireballs appeared, everyone looked on with a trace of bewilderment.
“Is that the Fireball Technique?”
Someone in the crowd questioned but was not yet certain.
After all, this person was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and he should not use such a low-level spell when facing someone of a higher realm!
“Yes, it is the Fireball Technique!”
A sharp-eyed disciple in the crowd declared confidently.
Although Ji Yang’s version of the Fireball Technique was somewhat different, it still counted as a Fireball Technique! It was not some special divine ability or secret technique!
Upon hearing this confirmation, the expressions of the other disciples turned to surprise and disbelief.
They could hardly believe that Ji Yang would use such a low-level spell against a cultivator who was two small realms above him!
Typically, such spells were only used by high-level cultivators to bully low-level ones, but now Ji Yang was using it against someone of higher cultivation.
This created an odd look among the crowd.
At that moment, the young man, fully prepared to defend against Ji Yang’s attack, also hesitated.
He had thought to give Ji Yang a chance to show his strength since his own realm was slightly higher.
But upon seeing the Fireball Technique in Ji Yang’s hands, he felt a surge of anger!
To confront him without using his top-notch magical tool or employing secret methods and abilities was clearly a sign of disrespect!
In the next instant, the young man could no longer hold back. He withdrew his defense, and the umbrella in his hands closed, instantly transforming the handle into a sharp blade.
With a swing of the blade, a wave of black miasma erupted towards Ji Yang!
