Chu Yixuan's face turned pale, and a trace of fresh blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, Chu Yixuan, this is just a little lesson for you. If you dare to obstruct me again, don't blame me for being rude," Yan Gang said coldly.
"Bastard! If you have the guts, come at me!" Niu Meng stumbled to his feet, cursing incessantly.
"Hmph, fall down for me..." Yan Gang said in a cold voice.
"Stop!" A furious voice suddenly rang out.
"Brother Wang has arrived."
"I heard that Niu Meng is Brother Wang's brother. Now that Niu Meng has been injured by Yan Shixiong, I don't think Brother Wang will let this go easily."
"Although Brother Wang is formidable, Yan Shixiong is a Yuanjing Warrior. Brother Wang is only in the Earth Spirit Realm; how can he possibly defeat Yan Shixiong?"
"Are you Wang Yi?" Yan Gang looked at the tall Wang Yi before him, a hint of disdain curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Niu Meng, Brother Chu, how badly are you hurt?" Wang Yi seemed to ignore him entirely and directly helped the seriously injured Niu Meng and Chu Yixuan to their feet, standing beside them.
"Hmph, Wang Yi, didn't you hear what Yan Shixiong said?" Zhao Shanyu said coldly.
"What? Zhao Shidi, when did you become someone else's lapdog?" Wang Yi replied.
"Wang Yi, do you dare insult me? Go to hell!" Zhao Shanyu's expression turned extremely ugly as she stepped forward and swung a fist at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi remained expressionless and darted out swiftly.
"Hmph, you have some guts to dare to act in front of me?" Yan Gang said coldly, striking out with a palm. A wave of yellow energy shot from his hand, and Wang Yi's face changed dramatically. He felt as if he were a leaf caught in a wild wind or a lone boat in a storm. The yellow energy wave struck him mercilessly in the chest, causing his internal energy to surge violently, blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground like a broken kite.
Vital Energy was released, Yuanjing Warrior.
"Big brother." Niu Meng saw Wang Yi's pale face and was filled with worry. He hurriedly helped Wang Yi up.
"Hmph, Wang Yi, you are just a new disciple. Before you have any real strength, it's better to be honest. Don't think that just because you've achieved some results, you can consider yourself impressive. In my eyes, you are nothing more than a stinky bug that flies high," Yan Gang said coldly, looking at Wang Yi with an arrogant expression. "Remember, as a Weakling, you must have the awareness of a Weakling. Trust me, being honest will do you no harm."
"Wang Yi, Yan Shixiong is right; you are just a country bumpkin. You will only ever be a Weakling. Challenging Lin Wanfeng? That's truly laughable. Even if I give you thirty years, you won't be Lin Wanfeng's opponent," Zhao Shanyu said smugly.
"Challenge Lin Wanfeng? What is this about?" Yan Gang asked in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanyu quickly informed Yan Gang about Wang Yi's challenge to Lin Wanfeng. Everyone was shocked and began to discuss among themselves.
"Lin Wanfeng is the top disciple of Wen Cang Sect. Although Wang Yi is formidable, how could he possibly be his opponent?"
"That's right; it is said that even Iron Curtain Shixiong is not Lin Wanfeng's match. How could Wang Yi be?"
"Hmph, do you really think you can defeat Lin Wanfeng?" Yan Gang looked at Wang Yi disdainfully and mocked, "Let me tell you, Lin Wanfeng is already at the Seventh Layer of Yuan Realm, while you are merely at Earth Spirit Realm Sevenfold. To defeat you, he only needs one finger; you're overestimating yourself."
"Yan Shixiong is absolutely right; Wang Yi is just trying to gain attention with this stunt and make a fool of himself," Zhao Shanyu said mockingly.
"Bastard! I'll fight you!" Niu Meng felt his anger rise and charged at Yan Gang like an iron tower. Yan Gang looked at Niu Meng with disdain as if he were looking at a stinky bug. With a wave of his hand, another wave of yellow energy swept out and knocked Niu Meng to the ground with a thud.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself; how dare a grain of light compete with the bright moon?" Zhao Shanyu sneered.
"Yan Gang, in half a month, I will defeat you," Wang Yi said as he helped Niu Meng up, gritting his teeth and staring at the arrogant Yan Gang with a hint of madness in his eyes.
"Hmph, just because of you? Even if I give you a year, you still wouldn't be my opponent," Yan Gang said, momentarily stunned, as he coldly looked at Wang Yi.
"Wang Yi, I see you are like a toad yawning, unaware of your own insignificance, trying to show off for attention?" Zhao Shanyu said with disdain on his face. "Yan Shixiong is now at the second level of the Yuan Realm, while you are merely at the Earth Spirit Realm's Sevenfold. To think you can defeat Yan Shixiong is simply a delusion."
"This Wang Yi is indeed arrogant, daring to speak such words."
"That's right. Although he is not far from the Yuan Realm, by the time he breaks through to the Yuan Realm, Yan Shixiong will probably have reached an unknown level."
"Cowardly rat." Wang Yi stared at Yan Gang, his gaze sharp as a sword, a hint of disdain curling at the corner of his mouth, as if mocking Yan Gang.
Yan Gang was proud and arrogant; how could he tolerate such provocation? He pointed at Wang Yi and shouted angrily, "Fine! I accept your challenge. I want to see how you will defeat me in half a month!"
"In half a month, the results will speak for themselves," Wang Yi said expressionlessly. "Let's go."
Inside the room.
"Big Brother, that Yan Gang is a second-level warrior of the Yuan Realm. How confident are you in defeating him in half a month?" Niu Meng asked anxiously.
"I have no confidence," Wang Yi replied.
"What? No confidence?" Niu Meng and the others were taken aback and exclaimed.
"Brother Wang, you are currently at Sevenfold. Logically speaking, you could reach Ninth Layer within half a month. However, condensing the Primordial Dan is much more difficult," Chu Yixuan shook his head and sighed. It should be noted that refining Primordial Liquid into Primordial Dan is incredibly challenging; it's like turning molten iron into solid iron. The transformation from liquid to solid represents a qualitative leap; otherwise, Primordial Dan wouldn't be so extraordinarily valuable.
"Is there any way?" Niu Meng asked with an anxious expression.
Everyone sighed in response.
Wang Yi smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to worry too much; I will find a way." His thoughts raced, and it seemed necessary to quickly advance to the Ninth Layer in order to utilize the power of the Primordial Dan to break through the Yuan Realm.
"Ah, that bastard Yan Gang! If my strength were greater than his, I would definitely beat him into a pig's head," Niu Meng cursed.
The others could only smile helplessly.
"Alright, you are about to break through the Sixfold as well, so focus on your cultivation," Wang Yi said with a calm smile.
Although Niu Meng was filled with anger, he could only nod in agreement.
In the morning, warm sunlight streamed through the window and illuminated Wang Yi's face, as if it were coated with a layer of golden brilliance, exuding a heroic spirit.
His Dantian was quiet, and with Embrace Unity, the Vital Energy within him became increasingly refined and vigorous, flowing like a mighty river throughout his body, spreading to all his limbs. Wang Yi felt as if he had boundless energy.
His mind was immersed in cultivation and comprehension. Now, the Cloud Manipulation Palm had reached a peak state, containing not only terrifying Stagnation Force but also generating a hint of Suction. Although this Suction was quite weak, like a young seedling, Wang Yi hoped to help this seedling grow rapidly.
It is known that martial arts capable of producing Suction are extremely rare, akin to Supreme Origin Stones. If he could derive and strengthen this Suction, his strength would reach an astonishing level, allowing him to contend against opponents practicing high-grade martial arts.
As for the other martial arts techniques, Wang Yi had already comprehended them thoroughly. He could even freely use the Lingjian Technique. However, he was quite troubled regarding weapons; although the Kaiyang Sword was a Profound Grade Divine Weapon, it felt like a useless item to him. Therefore, Wang Yi eagerly hoped to acquire a treasure sword, preferably an Earth-Level Divine Weapon.
Recalling the Youhan Blade that he had broken off from Demon Xuanluo made Wang Yi feel resentful. In terms of quality, the Youhan Blade was far superior to the Kaiyang Sword. As for bladed weapons, Wang Yi had no plans in that direction; he had not mastered any blade techniques and believed that trying to learn too many things at once would be counterproductive. Cultivating one set of Lingjian Technique was already sufficient.
With this in mind, Wang Yi decided to head to Xiangcheng to purchase a divine weapon. Although there were weapon sales in places like Deer City, they did not meet his needs. It should be noted that Earth-Level Divine Weapons could Cui Gu Primordial Energy; their true value was worlds apart from Mystic Grade Weapons.
However, going to Xiangcheng required caution regarding Zhou Yu. The Zhou family was one of the Three Great Families of Xiangzhou Prefecture. Going there would be like walking into a tiger's den; thus, he decided to disguise himself.
"Perhaps Zhou Deyu has some skills in disguise," Wang Yi thought. He considered taking Zhou Deyu as his master but realized he hadn't gained any benefits from it unless he asked directly; otherwise, nothing would happen. Sometimes Wang Yi couldn't understand why Zhou Deyu took him as a disciple.
Wang Yi found it hard to understand, so he decided not to dwell on it. After a moment of thought, he sought out Zhou Deyu and expressed his desire to learn a technique for disguise.
"Coincidentally, I have a technique for disguise that you can take!" Zhou Deyu said after a brief pause, stroking his White Beard with a smile.
With that, he took out a set of techniques from his Storage Ring.
"Transformational Technique." Wang Yi took the Martial Arts manual and examined it closely, his face lighting up with joy. This set of Martial Arts could allow him to disguise himself as any appearance. The only drawback was that the effect lasted for six hours. However, this was like a timely help for Wang Yi.
"Not bad, there are thirteen types of disguises here. You can change into any appearance according to the methods above. Unless someone is very familiar with you, they will definitely not recognize you," Zhou Deyu said with a hint of pride on his face. "This is the result of my years of dedicated research."
"Thank you, Master." Wang Yi carefully placed the disguise technique into his Storage Bag and bowed respectfully.
"Recently, I have often heard news about you. I heard that not only did you break the record set by the Kaiyang Sect since its establishment, but you also advanced into the top fifty. Very good," Zhou Deyu praised as he looked at Wang Yi and continued, "But remember not to be impatient; you must solidify your foundation well so that you can go further in your cultivation journey."
"I will remember this," Wang Yi said, momentarily stunned before hurriedly bowing again.
"Alright, once you break through to the Earth Spirit Realm, I will teach you a Fifth-Rank Martial Technique," Zhou Deyu waved his hand and said.
Wang Yi bowed and took his leave.
