Chapter 59
On the ring, Feng Jue paused for a moment, her naturally upturned eyes curled slightly, her red lips parted slightly, and the sound of her breathing dissipated in the flames that suddenly shot up into the sky.
Cui Zhenchuan on the opposite side narrowed his pupils, his heart trembled, and he raised his gun to block the fire.
No, we agreed to talk about it!
Below the stage, 03 uttered an "Ah" and muttered to himself, "Feng Jue is so fierce."
Behind her, a roar like a tidal wave echoed, and the cultivators watching the competition between the two Jindan cultivators cried out in surprise. Many people had heard of the reputation of the Phoenix Art in the past, but most of them had never seen it before.
"He truly is the best of the younger generation in Dongzhou!" someone whispered. "To have achieved great perfection in cultivation shows just how incredible his talent and luck are! It's truly a cause for regret!"
"Just watching her take action, I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear, as if I were witnessing the heroic figure of Feng Yunong, the Phoenix Palace Master, hundreds of years ago! It's true that like mother, like daughter!"
"Everyone, look at the fierce whipping technique of Palace Master Feng, the domineering power of his technique, and the pressing force at every step. Fellow Daoist Cui and Palace Master Feng have the same cultivation level, but he was at a disadvantage from the very beginning."
"She's truly as arrogant and overbearing as the rumors say. Hahaha, if I had Palace Master Feng's talent and wealth, I might be even more arrogant than her!"
The chatter was drowned out by the cheers. The Lanyang Palace disciples tried hard to suppress their excitement—unable to do so at all, they raised their weapons and cheered for Feng Jue.
One clever disciple stuck his head out and looked around. Seeing that no one was waving the spiritual light, he smiled and rubbed his hands.
A beam of light flew up into the sky, with the words [The First Palace Master of Lanyang Palace, Dongzhou, is Invincible in the World]
03Look up and laugh.
Behind that beam of spiritual light, countless spiritual lights flew up one after another. Some imitated 03's words, while others expressed their true feelings and praised Feng Jue from the perspective of appearance and demeanor. Poetry and plain language flew together. The spiritual lights and virtual images were the same color, densely covering the martial arts viewing platform.
"Father, look!" Xu Zehua stared at the titles of "Number One in Lanyang Palace's East Continent" and "Top Phoenix Art Golden Elixir Master," his veins bulging with anger. He raised his hand to dispel the spiritual energy illusions. Xu Zhuoli grabbed his wrist and pushed his arm down.
"Why are you so anxious?" Xu Zhuoli said calmly, "Let them be arrogant. When you defeat Feng Jue in the competition, won't these words be a slap in her face?"
"You can't even sit still over such a small matter. No wonder you were tricked by Lanyang Palace!"
Xu Zehua was scolded. He suppressed his anger, glared at those spiritual lights, and angrily swung his sleeves.
Seeing that the elders on duty did not teach them a lesson, everyone gradually relaxed.
"A Passionate Night in Lanyang City" turned into "A Passionate Arena in Dongzhou". However, after all, everyone was sitting nearby and did not dare to be too presumptuous. They only dared to say some friendly words such as "You Baihu Pavilion are useless. I will teach you who is the father in the arena" and "I am more beautiful than a flower and I can't give birth to an ugly thing like you. Don't recognize me as your mother."
Fierce fighting ensued on stage, and even more intense fighting ensued below. Various auras and illusions rose and fell, a truly friendly scene of friendship through martial arts. Lan Zhi, perched on the podium, watched in astonishment, her brow furrowed in confusion. The nearby master of Liyang Peak in Lanyang Palace laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, Fairy. Let them stir things up a bit. If we can unleash their fighting spirit, perhaps they can surpass their former potential in the ring."
Lan Zhi bowed in surprise and said, "I'll teach you."
The head of Liyang Peak nodded, raised his hand and waved his spiritual power to sweep away all the spiritual light that was spreading out of the martial arts viewing platform. The people on the martial arts viewing platform understood and decided to have a "friendly exchange" in the area above their heads!
Even after the competition ended, the two phantom characters above the arena barrier remained undispelled. Feng Jue won his first battle and greeted his opponent. Cui Zhenchuan laughed heartily and pointed at the characters.
"I wish the Palace Master to win the Golden Core Championship."
Phoenix Technique: "..."
She raised an eyebrow, hummed softly, and said, "Thank you."
After saying that, she walked down the ring slowly, holding a whip in one hand and her skirt in the other.
03 was standing at the front of the martial arts viewing platform, clapping. The Lanyang Palace disciples behind her followed suit, clapping in rhythm and momentum. That was until the beautiful young Palace Master approached, stopped a step away, and swung her long whip mercilessly.
Feng Jue's natal magical weapon was crafted by the finest weaponsmith in Central Continent, using the world's strongest and most resilient materials, forged over a period of ten years. The whip is two fingers thick, retractable, and feels like iron, yet as flexible as silk. With a casual swing, it resonates with a piercing sound. Feng Jue has refined it within her sea of consciousness, integrating it with her natal cultivation technique, constantly ablaze with a golden-red flame.
Now, the golden-red flames roared towards them. The Lanyang Palace disciples in the front row ducked in fear, watching helplessly as the long whip wrapped around Senior Sister's neck. Before it could touch her skin, the golden-red flames suddenly vanished, transforming into a bright red, though overly elaborate, long whip that wrapped twice around 03's neck.
03 Raise your head.
"Forehead--"
I can't breathe again.
Feng Jue pressed his eyelashes, and swept his sharp gaze over. Those who were looking at him turned away in an instant, not daring to look again. Feng Jue sneered, and rolled the whip twice in his palm, forcing the entangled person to come over.
03Thinking: What a nice weather today!
Feng Jue said, "Look at me."
03 Not looking at Feng Jue, staring at the blue sky and white clouds, reminding: "Do what you want."
This is Lanyang Palace!
"You are always right." Feng Jue muttered, and spread out her palms. The magic weapon wrapped around her palms and 03's snow-white neck instantly turned into spiritual light and sank into her palms.
03 She curled up the corners of her mouth and looked down at Feng Jue. She thought for a moment, raised her hand and patted Feng Jue on the head, praising him: "Feng Jue is really amazing!"
A gasp came from somewhere on the martial arts viewing platform. Feng Jue narrowed his eyes, grabbed 03's wrist, and said, "I'm done with the competition today. Come on, accompany me to the martial arts viewing platform above."
03 immediately said: "Okay."
She was led forward by Feng Jue, passing under the Martial Arts Viewing Platform and heading towards the central mountain. 03 took out a paper-rolled funnel from his storage ring and said, "Feng Jue, this is for you."
Feng Jue looked back and saw a paper funnel filled with wrapped melon seeds, half full. Feng Jue was a little touched, but when she thought about how she had peeled them under the stage while she was fighting fiercely, and how it had drawn a wave of hatred from her—never mind, she was still very touched.
"Thank you," Feng Jue said modestly, accepting the paper funnel. She had lived for twenty-six years, and although she had experienced many life-threatening situations, she had also been pampered and raised with the best of everything. This was the first time she had ever held such a simple object.
But Feng Jue didn't dislike it at all. She curled the corners of her mouth, took out the jade box containing snacks from the storage ring, put the melon seeds in it, and prepared to go back and eat it slowly.
But when she put the jade box into the storage ring and unfolded the paper funnel, she found that this was the declaration of war written by 03 before!
It was not the envelope outside, but it was no different. On the bottom of the letter with golden feather patterns, there were ink blobs saying "I want to kill you, come and fight."
Feng Jue: "...Didn't you say that we should pay attention to hygiene?"
03 He peeked in, observed Feng Jue's expression, and said seriously: "I've consulted other people, and they say that cultivators have a special physique and don't get sick easily." Most people would just die if poked.
To the system, humans are fragile creatures.
So she said, "I learned the art of dust removal."
Feng Jue: "Thank you, I feel relieved."
03 Happy: “Hahaha!”
"Who are the others?" Feng Jue asked again.
03 quickly said, "It's Siyi."
Siyi also understands medicine. She is truly a person who learns from many sources and is good at utilizing them. For example, her database contains countless text materials, but there is still a huge gap between storage and usage. 03 is trying to find a way to utilize them.
The two of them talked as they walked past the last martial arts viewing platform.
Compared to other martial arts viewing platforms, this one was quieter and devoid of any spiritual energy illusions. Feng Jue sensed a malicious gaze, and she looked up, meeting Xu Zehua's angry eyes.
Feng Jue simply stopped and put on the attitude of a host, saying to the man beside Xu Zehua, "Master Xu has come from afar, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."
Xu Zhuoshan looked at this younger generation who was not even a fraction of his age, yet so arrogant and proud, and said in a deep voice: "The Palace Master is busy with affairs, how dare I go up the mountain casually? If I say something that I don't like, and you challenge me to a life-and-death duel, I will lose my life in vain."
Feng Jue laughed heartily, his posture relaxed and casual, and said with a smile: "Senior, what are you talking about? If Lanyang Palace treated guests like this, how could it regain the throne of the first place in Dongzhou?"
Xu Zhuoshan's eyes turned cold. He hadn't expected Feng Jue to confirm his title as the best in Dongzhou right in front of him with just one sentence. He then heard Feng Jue say, "Now that fellow Daoists from Dongzhou have gathered to welcome this grand event, if we at Lanyang Palace do something inappropriate, won't we be ridiculed? However, there are still many people with discerning eyes in this world. If there are those who are old and blurry and don't know right from wrong, it's better for them to go home early and wash their eyes."
Feng Jue said calmly, his voice making the already quiet martial arts viewing platform even more dead silent.
Everyone felt Xu Zhuoshan's anger and lowered their heads, their faces distorted with fear.
Xu Zehua, who was sitting behind Xu Zhuoshan, stood up suddenly and sneered, "How dare you be so arrogant?"
His father is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
03 tilted his head, shook Feng Jue's hand, looked at Xu Zhuoshan, and fell into thought.
"Hua'er, sit down!" Xu Zhuoshan said in a slow, deep voice, looking towards the distant arena, "You may be eloquent, but there are always better ways to deal with things. You should be more restrained, or you might bump into a big Buddha and end up dying in some unknown way!"
He released a powerful pressure, and everyone on the martial arts viewing platform lowered their heads under the pressure of his momentum. The pressure came straight towards Feng Jue. Before 03 could make a move, a phantom of a scroll fell from the mountain and blocked Feng Jue and 03.
The eyes of the surroundings were immediately drawn to it, and everyone looked at it in astonishment.
Xu Zhuoshan concealed the surprise on his face and bowed to Lan Zhi on the top of the mountain.
Lan Zhi said calmly, "Please follow the rules and don't cause trouble around the arena."
Xu Zhuoshan suppressed his displeasure, looked at Feng Jue and 03, curled his lips into a smile, and whispered, "There's a long way to go."
Feng Jue also smiled, and she said slowly: "Yes, there is a long way to go."
Listening to the heated exchange between the two, 03 nodded and said, "I understand, Master Xu.
You also want to be with me—" Before she could finish her words, Feng Jue pinched her finger. 03 lowered her head in confusion, and a piece of crisp candy was stuffed into her mouth.
——Fight to the death.
03 Eat the candy obediently and complete this sentence in your mind.
"Come on, accompany me back to rest." Feng Jue said to her with a smile, loosened his fingers, and let the wind carry the letter away.
The letter fluttered and landed at Xu Zehua's feet. Both Xu and his son lowered their heads to read the words on the letter. Xu Zehua clenched his fist, and like this declaration of war, murderous intent surged within him. He stared at the receding figure, slowly grinding his teeth.
Xu Zhuoshan sneered: "No repentance."
03 Walking behind Feng Jue, she said: "Feng Jue, you can't litter anywhere..."
"It doesn't matter." Feng Jue said softly without looking back, "Garbage should stay in the garbage dump, and we..."
Just clear it out.
