Li Wenbo quickly said, “Ji Ou, you’ve been away on your trials and don’t know what’s been happening within the sect. Don’t act recklessly.”
Ji Ou chuckled and said, “How could I not know? I ran into Jiang Yihan, and he told me everything.”
“Ye Wushuang, seventeen years old, was at the eighth level of Tengang half a month ago, and now he’s at the ninth level.”
“Half a month ago, at the eighth level of Tengang, he killed Li Bai Fan in just three moves.”
“I heard from that kid Jiang Yihan that as soon as he broke through to the first level of Wanfa, he privately challenged you to a duel and ended up losing. Now he’s too embarrassed to show his bruised face in public.”
“To be honest, I’ve improved during my time away and am now at the second level of Wanfa. I also want to have a match with you.”
With a carefree expression, Ji Ou said, “So, what do you say? We’re both men here. Let’s have a straightforward duel. Do you dare to compete with me, Baldy the Strong?”
Li Wenbo and Su Jin Yue, standing nearby, looked speechless. The nickname was so embarrassing that they wouldn’t even give it to someone else, yet Ji Ou wore it with pride, constantly using it without a hint of shame.
Seeing Ji Ou’s earnest expression, Ye Wushuang smiled slightly and nodded, saying, “Sure, why not?”
Ji Ou laughed heartily and said, “That’s the spirit!”
“Let’s go, to the dueling ground on Lingjian Mountain!”
With that, Ji Ou hoisted his massive blade onto his shoulder and set off immediately. Li Wenbo paid the bill, his face contorted with pain as he looked at Ye Wushuang and explained, “Ye, don’t take it personally. Ji Ou and Jiang Yihan are both the youngest disciples of Master Shi Wuhen.”
“These two are just thick-headed and straightforward.”
Su Jin Yue, standing nearby, was left speechless. If she were to describe herself in the same way, she might as well call herself thick-headed too.
Ye Wushuang nodded upon hearing this. In fact, from Ji Ou’s words and demeanor, he hadn’t sensed any contempt or provocation. Instead, there was a strong desire to challenge and compete. Ji Ou simply wanted to have a match with him, or perhaps he just wanted to test himself against other outstanding geniuses.
Soon, the four of them returned to Lingjian Mountain. However, as they made their way back, they encountered several disciples along the path who stared at them with strange looks.
“What’s going on?” Li Wenbo asked, bewildered.
At that moment, a female disciple approached. It was Shui Wanrong.
Shui Wanrong’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Ye Wushuang and said, “You’re going to have a match with Ji Ou?”
Li Wenbo, standing nearby, asked blankly, “How did you know?”
Shui Wanrong replied with a shocked expression, “Ji Ou just came back and shouted all the way along the main road of Lingjian Mountain!”
“What did he shout?”
“I’m Ji Ou, and I’m back! I’m going to have a match with Ye Wushuang at the dueling ground. Everyone come and watch!”
Shui Wanrong repeated the words exactly as Ji Ou had shouted. Li Wenbo and Su Jin Yue’s faces turned dark with embarrassment. This guy… his mind was truly not normal!
“Is it true?” Shui Wanrong asked, her face filled with disbelief.
Previously, when Jiang Yihan wanted to have a match with Ye Wushuang, he was stopped by several sect leaders. To be precise, he was intimidated into backing down. Later, after Jiang Yihan broke through to the Wanfa realm and became the seventh core disciple, he immediately sought out Ye Wushuang. No one knew what happened after that, but Jiang Yihan never appeared in public again after his encounter with Ye Wushuang.
Now, Ji Ou had just returned to Lingjian Mountain and loudly announced his intention to have a match with Ye Wushuang, which naturally sparked a lot of speculation.
Within Lingjian Mountain, there was a specially designated valley that served as a dueling ground for both inner and outer disciples to compete and exchange skills. At this moment, in a vast valley, the ground was paved with hard black steel source stones. Such stones were so tough that even someone at the Wanfa realm would find it difficult to leave a mark on them. The walls of the valley were inscribed with dazzling array symbols.
At this moment, the peaks surrounding the valley were already occupied by over a hundred figures. In the valley, Ji Ou stood with one hand on his massive blade and the other on his waist, wearing a calm and composed expression. After learning from Jiang Yihan that he had reached the Wanfa realm only to be defeated by Ye Wushuang, who was still at the Tengang realm, Ji Ou was extremely surprised. He immediately wanted to find Ye Wushuang and have a match.
Ye Wushuang, at the ninth level of Tengang, was a core disciple personally appointed by Master Siyin and was the new generation’s most watched genius. If Ji Ou could defeat Ye Wushuang under the watchful eyes of everyone, how cool would that be!
However, while Ji Ou was fantasizing about how impressive he would look, a figure appeared at the top of the peak…
