The dazzling azure light suddenly surged into the sky from Zhao Wugang's body.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Beam after beam of azure light formed what appeared to be a prison, completely enveloping Zhao Wugang's figure. An inexplicable and profound aura emanated from the azure light, leaving everyone in awe.
"Do you still think you have me at your mercy?" The calm voice came from Fang Chen. Looking at Zhao Wugang, who was less than an arm's length away and temporarily trapped by the azure cage, Fang Chen's expression remained as indifferent as ever. However, to everyone else, this calmness seemed unfathomable.
This was a Spirit Array Master, one capable of silently setting up a Spirit Array that could trap a Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artist in an extremely short time. Given Fang Chen's achievements in Spirit Arrays, even with little talent in martial arts cultivation, he could still stand out. Moreover, at such a young age, he had already reached the Alchemy Realm. In comparison, the two youths from Hidden Dragon Academy, while not weak, were indeed far behind.
"He's actually a Spirit Array Master!"
Seeing this scene, Zong Bochi, who initially thought the situation would be one-sided, changed his expression slightly in surprise. However, it was merely surprise.
Although Fang Chen's array was formidable and could temporarily trap a Primordial Embryo Realm martial artist, it could only hold him for so long and posed no real threat to Zhao Wugang. Once Zhao Wugang broke free, he would undoubtedly retaliate against Fang Chen with great force.
As for whether Fang Chen could pose any threat during the time Zhao Wugang was trapped by the Spirit Array, Zong Bochi believed there was hardly any chance. Given the significant difference in their realms, Zong Bochi thought that even if Zhao Wugang stood there and allowed Fang Chen to attack him, the latter would not be able to inflict any substantial damage.
But was things really as he imagined?
"You're quite impressive." After struggling and realizing he truly couldn't break free from the azure cage in a short time, Zhao Wugang glared at Fang Chen and said resentfully.
"But is this your arrogant confidence? This type of binding Spirit Array must have a time limit; I don't believe it can hold me for long. Once I'm out, I'll knock you down!" he snarled.
"Is that so?" The only response from Fang Chen was those two calm words.
Then Zhao Wugang noticed that Fang Chen had made his move.
With a fair hand that showed no signs of effort, he reached through the azure prison and struck toward Zhao Wugang's chest.
"So light; it seems you haven't eaten enough," Zhao Wugang sneered. Although he was completely bound within the azure prison and had to endure Fang Chen's strike, he felt no significant threat from it—he didn't even sense any Qi Energy within it. Thus, he boldly mocked.
However, this time Fang Chen did not respond. All that followed was a dull thud.
Boom!
Like the roar of cannon fire, when Fang Chen's fair palm pressed against Zhao Wugang's chest, what initially seemed light and powerless erupted with terrifying Qi Energy that surged forth wildly.
This time, Zhao Wugang was out of luck.
The cold smile on his face suddenly stiffened. The moment the Qi Energy erupted from Frenzy, Zhao Wugang realized he was in trouble. It felt as if a frenzied beast had violently collided with his chest, sending a tremendous force surging through him. He was unable to control himself and flew backward.
At that moment, the azure cage quietly vanished. Under Fang Chen's palm, Zhao Wugang was blasted away for several dozen yards, ultimately crashing to the ground in a disheveled state.
Bang!
With a dull thud, dust rose slightly as Zhao Wugang sat on the ground, his eyes somewhat dazed. Not only he, but even another youth from Hidden Dragon Academy, as well as Zong Bochi and the onlookers around them, displayed expressions of shock and disbelief.
Fang Chen had profound mastery over Spirit Array, capable of binding Zhao Wugang for a short time. That alone was understandable; after all, Spirit Array geniuses were rare but comprehensible.
However, to unleash such power with Alchemy Realm cultivation and send Zhao Wugang—who was at Primordial Embryo Realm—flying like a scarecrow for several dozen yards was simply terrifying. Although Zhao Wugang had taken Fang Chen's strike head-on, it was still astonishing.
After all, Zhao Wugang was not an ordinary early-stage Primordial Embryo Realm warrior; he was a disciple of Hidden Dragon Academy and a Heavenly Pride figure! His combat strength could even rival some ordinary late-stage Primordial Embryo Realm warriors. Yet despite this, he couldn't withstand even one round against Fang Chen!
"This kid must have combat strength close to Primordial Embryo Realm or even at that level!" Zong Bochi's smile completely froze. He looked at Fang Chen, his gaze slowly filling with shock.
With his extensive experience, Zong Bochi understood that for Fang Chen to achieve this—to effortlessly blast Zhao Wugang away and incapacitate him with a single strike—his own combat strength must be near or at the Primordial Embryo Realm level. Otherwise, even someone at Late Stage of Transformation Realm wouldn't be able to accomplish this.
To unleash Primordial Embryo Realm strength with Alchemy Realm cultivation represented a significant leap across realms; even just that was remarkable. It is known that warriors capable of fighting beyond their level are already considered extraordinary talents.
Such individuals are rare elsewhere but are not uncommon among the Three Great Academies; in fact, it is quite the opposite. Within the Three Great Academies, fighting beyond one's level can be easily achieved by many. Zhao Wugang, who was blasted away by Fang Chen, could typically contend with late-stage Primordial Embryo Realm warriors despite being at early-stage Primordial Embryo Realm himself.
However, those who can leap across a major realm are still quite rare even within the Three Great Academies. Each one is an exceptionally brilliant presence. After all, unlike minor realms where differences in strength are manageable, the disparities between major realms are astonishingly vast. Those who can cross a major realm are no longer merely talents; they can be regarded as Heavenly Pride figures even within the rigorous standards of the Three Great Academies!
Now that Fang Chen possessed such terrifying mastery over Spirit Array and continued to astonish in martial arts as well, the impact on Zong Bochi and others was unparalleled. The atmosphere around them shifted dramatically. Even Zhao Wugang, after getting up from the ground and looking at Fang Chen, showed no trace of resentment or anger; instead, he gazed at him with deep respect.
One must respect the strong; when someone surpasses you by so much, it becomes difficult to feel jealousy or resentment—only awe remains.
A Heavenly Pride figure excelling in both Spirit Array and martial arts will undoubtedly become a peak powerhouse in the future if they do not meet an untimely end! Given time, the gap in status between them will become astonishingly large. Such individuals should be befriended rather than offended! After all, offending them now could lead to dire consequences when Fang Chen reaches his peak in the future.
As for causing Fang Chen's downfall—that was beyond their capability. Although competition among the Three Great Academies is fierce, it is entirely different from the rivalry seen during events like the Seven Sects Conference with Ziyang Sect. The competition among the Three Great Academies is open and aboveboard.
Fairness and justice prevail; strength is paramount. There are strict regulations in place: while one can injure others, intentional killing is absolutely forbidden. Violating this rule would result in joint retaliation from the Three Great Academies. After all, every disciple recruited by the Three Great Academies possesses immense potential and would stand out as an exceptional Heavenly Pride figure elsewhere.
Such individuals are destined to be few in number; losing one would cause heartache for the Three Great Academies. If someone harbored malicious intent and recklessly killed others, it would represent a tremendous loss. Moreover, given Fang Chen's astonishing potential as a dual Heavenly Pride figure in both Spirit Array and martial arts once he enters Heavenly Martial Academy, he will undoubtedly attract attention from higher-ups. By then, even if someone wished to harm him, it would not be an easy task.
Under these circumstances, everyone could almost foresee that decades later, the Heavenly Martial Academy would surely have another peak powerhouse. For ordinary people, several decades is a significant portion of their lives, and it can feel long. However, for martial artists, especially powerful ones, it hardly counts compared to their lengthy lifespans.
Is it worth offending someone who is destined to become a peak powerhouse just for the sake of pride?
This thought flashed through the minds of Zong Bochi and his companions almost simultaneously. In the next moment, without any hesitation, they all knew what choice to make.
“Clap, clap, clap…”
Applause suddenly erupted. Zong Bochi, who had been confronting Wang Tao with a somewhat grim expression, now wore a broad smile. As he clapped, his gaze towards Fang Chen was filled with admiration, as if he were appreciating an exceptionally talented junior.
“Fang Chen, my young friend, you truly are an unparalleled Heavenly Pride; impressive, impressive,” he praised vigorously, showing no signs of reluctance on his face. The joy emanating from him seemed to resonate with those around him.
“This guy…” Wang Tao beside him couldn’t help but shake his head in disbelief. However, soon after, a smile appeared on his face. He knew that his old rival from Hidden Dragon Academy had made the right choice. At the same time, his gaze towards Fang Chen was filled with warmth and pride. This extraordinary Heavenly Pride was discovered by him, Wang Tao!
“My young friend possesses exceptional talent; even within my Hidden Dragon Academy, you would be an outstanding presence. This time, Heavenly Martial Academy has truly unearthed a treasure,” Zong Bochi remarked, not mentioning the previous conflicts between them as if everything had dissipated into thin air. Zhao Wugang and the Blue-Clad Youth beside him also slightly lowered their heads and remained silent.
“Not enough.” Just then, Fang Chen shook his head and uttered these two words.
