Chapter 316: The Reappearance of the Golden Insect Technique
Seeing the young man take the initiative to attack, Ji Yang did not hesitate to throw the two fireballs in his hands towards him.
After pondering how to fight, he finally found an idea.
Although the Fireball Technique was just a low-level spell, it had greatly increased in power when used by Elder Tang from the He Dao Sect, fitting him perfectly.
While the enhancement came from his own realm, the effectiveness of a low-level spell depended significantly on who cast it.
Ji Yang practiced exceptional Techniques, which provided an additional boost to his Fireball Technique. With his enhanced understanding from his current realm, he grasped the low-level spell at a much deeper level.
He hadn’t used any spells before due to the strength of his opponents. However, now that he had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, his comprehension was far superior, so his Fireball Technique now was not on the same level as before.
Moreover, his attack carried the special effect of True Essence, but to avoid detection by the high-level cultivators present, Ji Yang included only a little of it in the Fireball Technique, ensuring it wouldn’t cause the young man to lose his mind.
However, there would still be a disturbance in his heart and a fog in his consciousness.
Thus, when Ji Yang launched the Fireball Technique, the young man’s expression showed a hint of confusion, but he quickly regained his senses, his eyes filled with doubt, unsure of what had just happened.
At that moment, the black miasma collided with the fireballs, and the flames exploded outwards, instantly incinerating the miasma, while the lingering sparks continued to rush towards the young man.
Seeing that his attack not only failed to overwhelm Ji Yang’s Fireball Technique but also put him at a disadvantage, the young man’s face turned anxious, and he hurriedly tried to dodge, even lacking time to activate his magical tool’s defense.
Unfortunately, due to the influence of the True Essence, his speed was a moment too slow.
As the remnants of the Fireball Technique faded, the young man’s face darkened, and he looked extremely disheveled.
The watching disciples all showed expressions of surprise.
To them, the seemingly ordinary Fireball Technique had managed to scorch a late-stage Nascent Soul disciple so badly.
Many disciples wore serious expressions, beginning to carefully inspect the Fireball Technique, eager to understand what made Ji Yang’s version different.
Feeling the gazes of the other disciples, the young man glanced down at his own state and felt extremely embarrassed.
In the next moment, this embarrassment turned into anger.
If he did not defeat Ji Yang, it would be very difficult for him to save face in front of these fellow disciples.
Without saying much more, the young man enlarged his umbrella-like magical tool, which then took to the air.
Once the magical tool soared up, it directly overshadowed Ji Yang, and as it spun, several umbrella ribs transformed into invisible blades.
These blades shot down towards Ji Yang with lightning speed, sealing off his escape routes.
Seeing Ji Yang trapped within his magical tool, the young man let out a smirk on his scorched face.
The energy mixed within the umbrella ribs was sharp and deadly, making this attack fierce. He was confident that even a cultivator of the same realm would struggle to withstand such an assault, let alone Ji Yang, a mere Early Stage of Yuan Ying disciple.
The onlooking cultivators showed surprised expressions upon witnessing the sharp energy emitted from the flying magical tool, clearly having some impression of this type of attack.
They then turned their attention back to Ji Yang.
Although Ji Yang’s earlier Fireball Technique was different from the norm, this time, the sharp energy showed no fear of it. Wanting to counter with the Fireball Technique was nothing short of a fool’s dream; they were eager to see what means Ji Yang would employ against such sharp energy.
Currently, Ji Yang looked up at the numerous sharp energies rushing towards him. The cutting aura made the surrounding disciples feel a sharp sting against their cheeks.
Yet, standing at the center, Ji Yang maintained an indifferent expression, unaffected by the attack.
In fact, he felt that even without defense, he could bear it with just his physical body. However, in front of so many disciples, Ji Yang certainly would not expose this truth.
He silently circulated his magical energy, and his fingers began to glow with a faint golden color.
As Ji Yang’s fingers danced, countless golden needles shot up into the sky.
The needles pierced through the sharp energy while continuously striking the ribs of the umbrella-like magical tool above, producing jarring metallic clanking sounds.
In the blink of an eye, the umbrella ribs, which had been emitting sharp energy, began to falter under the relentless assault, causing the umbrella-like magical tool to sway precariously.
Seeing this, the young man’s face turned pale, uncertainty flooding his mind as he curiously observed Ji Yang’s attacks emanating from his fingers.
He felt like this attack seemed somewhat familiar.
"This… looks like the Golden Insect Technique?"
Among the crowd, one disciple recognized it and spoke uncertainly.
"The Golden Insect Technique? Isn’t that used to kill spiritual insects? How could it have such power?"
Other disciples chimed in with their thoughts, their expressions filled with skepticism.
However, upon closer inspection, it did indeed resemble the Golden Insect Technique. The versions practiced by ordinary disciples lacked such strength and could not be used so frequently.
Hearing the comments from the other disciples, the young man’s eyes filled with realization.
It was definitely the Golden Insect Technique; he had sensed its similarity to the attacking method.
However, upon realizing it was this spell, his expression darkened even further.
The earlier Fireball Technique could be overlooked, but now even this insect-slaying technique was being used against him, which was a blatant humiliation!
The young man clenched his fists tightly, but soon the magical tool, under constant attack, could no longer hold on and fell from the sky.
Seeing this, the young man, ignoring his anger, quickly performed a spell to recall the umbrella-like magical tool back to his hand.
But before he could unleash another fierce assault, Ji Yang struck again.
This time, it was once more the familiar Fireball Technique!
A massive fireball hurtled toward the young man’s face.
Just as he intended to use his magical tool for defense, a moment of distraction slipped into his mind again.
That brief moment of distraction brought the fireball within arm’s reach, leaving no chance to dodge.
Feeling the heat of the flames scorching his face, a sense of long-lost panic crossed the young man’s features.
I might die!
In the instant this thought crossed his mind, the fireball abruptly vanished.
At that moment, a voice rang out in the arena:
"Within Alchemy Peak, disciples are forbidden from engaging in private fights!"
The young man turned to see that the speaker and the one who intervened was a steward from Alchemy Peak, who had arrived long ago.
"Thank you, steward, for saving me!"
The young man hurriedly expressed his gratitude; he was relieved that this steward had intervened, or he might not have made it today!
However, the steward did not show him any kindness and simply replied lightly,
"Our Alchemy Peak is not a place for those who seek to be brave and fierce! Non-disciples of Alchemy Peak, please disperse at once!"
Upon hearing this, the other disciples who had wanted to challenge Ji Yang looked hesitant and displeased.
Now they spoke up; it was clear they did not wish for them to challenge Ji Yang.
Yet, as the steward’s aura from the Void Refinement stage spread out, the other disciples dared not say anything further and quickly dispersed.
Intruding on Alchemy Peak was already offensive, and if they did not comply now, it was likely that these stewards would take action.
Though they were just stewards of Alchemy Peak, they were merciless when provoked.
As for "Feng Yu," they did not believe she would stay within Alchemy Peak forever.
It would be better to wait until she left before challenging her; by then, as long as they prepared enough spiritual stones, it wouldn’t matter whether she accepted or not.
