"Qingyang Prefecture Prodigy Ranking The first Fang Han?"
Lie Yunting's eyes swept over and finally settled on Fang Han.
"It's me."
Fang Han raised his eyes and looked at Lie Yunting.
"We have no intention of conflict with anyone from Qingyang Prefecture. It's just that this person injured Xue Wu, which will definitely affect Xue Wu's subsequent success. I'm just looking for an explanation from this person."
Lie Yunting stared at Fang Han and said.
"Explanation?"
Fang Han glanced at Lie Yunting, and then at Xue Wu who was standing aside with a pale face and bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his voice was still calm, but a hint of sarcasm could be heard.
"Two days ago, when Xue Wu made rude remarks and insulted me, Qingyang Prefecture, the younger generation, why didn't you, East Foothills Prefecture, the younger generation, stop me?"
He paused and glanced at the young people East Foothills Prefecture beside Lie Yunting.
"Now Xue Wu's skills are not as good as others, and he was taught a lesson, but he wants to speak out?"
Lie Yunting's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. He didn't expect Fang Han's attitude to be so tough.
"Xue Wu has such a bad mouth, he deserves to be taught a lesson."
Fang Han met Lie Yunting's eyes and said.
His voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.
"If you don't accept it, you want to stand up for Xue Wu--"
He paused slightly and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the Cloudsplitter Sword at his waist.
"I'll take it."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
On Qingyang Prefecture's side, the younger generation of Qingyang Prefecture stepped forward at the same time and showed their support for Fang Han with actions.
Over at East Foothills Prefecture, the younger generation East Foothills Prefecture next to Lie Yunting all had angry expressions on their faces, angered by Fang Han's tough attitude.
Lie Yunting was also irritated, with anger in his heart.
However, after looking at Fang Han's plain but faintly dangerous gaze, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and felt an inexplicable desire to shrink back.
His eyes stayed on Fang Han for a moment, then fell on Mad Blade, and chose to give way.
"Xue Wu was indeed wrong when he made rude remarks. Now he has learned a lesson. How about we end this matter?"
"Okay."
Fang Han glanced at Lie Yunting, nodded slightly, and released the hilt of the sword.
He's not someone who likes to be in the limelight unless there's something to be gained from it.
Looking at what he has done since joining Azure Profound Sect, whether he is trying his best to improve the ranking of Zi Courtyard or trying his best to improve the ranking of General Ranking, it is all for profit.
He is not that enthusiastic about Prodigy Ranking ranking competition that has no actual benefits. He often chooses to hide his strength and does not try his best to improve Prodigy Ranking's ranking.
But this time it was impossible not to stand out.
Mad Blade stands up for the younger generation of Qingyang Prefecture. The younger generation of Qingyang Prefecture all stand up to support Mad Blade. He cannot be too independent.
Otherwise, you will be excluded from the Qingyang Prefecture younger generation group.
"Thank you."
Mad Butcher carried the giant knife, grinned, turned around, and walked back to where the younger generation Qingyang Prefecture was.
"..."
East Foothills Prefecture Over there, a group of young people looked unhappy.
However, Lie Yunting, as the number one East Foothills Prefecture Prodigy Ranking, usually has great prestige, so he chose to give in, and no one dared to refute in his honor.
"Ahem--"
Xue Wu was helped to the side and took Danyao for healing. His face was still pale and he coughed from time to time.
He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at anyone. He couldn't win a quarrel or a fight.
This time, I was humiliated and was "executed" in front of the younger generation from all counties.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually relaxed.
The geniuses from various counties who were watching this incident also looked away at this moment and started talking in low voices.
Heavenly Origin Sect Twelve people stood on one side of the hall.
Bai Yan stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes resting on Fang Han for a moment.
Beside him, Xu Qing spoke in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Bai, this Fang Han is not very old, but he can actually become the number one Qingyang Prefecture Prodigy Ranking. Even if he is placed among the Heavenly Origin Sect, he is considered good in the same age group."
Bai Yan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The young people from Songquan Prefecture, White Egret Prefecture, and Taishun Prefecture counties were also talking in low voices at this moment.
"Qingyang Prefecture That Fang Han is quite tough."
"East Foothills Prefecture Lie Yunting actually gave in. I thought I would have a good show."
"Lie Yunting is probably considering that there is no need for a conflict at this time."
"That's right, the fourth level hasn't started yet, so taking action now won't do anyone any good."
Amidst the discussion, the wall directly in front of the hall has changed.
Another passage is revealed.
In the center of the passage, five metal puppets stand in a ring.
The one in the center looks like a tiger, with a body of dark gold, a body nearly ten feet long, thick limbs, sharp claws with a cold sheen, and a pair of scarlet eyes.
The one on the left looks like Giant Bear, standing upright, about two feet tall, completely black, with arms as thick as tree trunks, and ten sharp claws glowing with blue light on both palms.
The one on the right looks like a giant python, entrenched on the ground, as thick as a bucket, with a silver-white body and a pair of vertical pupils that are dark green. The snake is hesitant and makes a subtle hissing sound.
There is a giant ape-like figure at the rear left, with a thin body, dark silver all over, arms above the knees, and a pair of eyes in the shape of Dark Gold, exuding an indifferent light.
The one on the rear right resembles Giant Eagle, with a wingspan of nearly ten feet. It is bronze in color, has a pair of sharp claws with a cold sheen, and a pair of blue eyes, staring coldly at the crowd in front of the passage.
Five puppets and five pairs of eyes stared coldly at the people in the hall.
An invisible sense of oppression spread from the passage.
"The fourth level..."
Someone spoke in a low voice, with a bit of solemnity in his voice.
"According to records, the strength of each of the five puppets... is comparable to the Third Grade Early Stage warrior."
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Third Grade Early Stage.
That is the threshold of Upper Third Grade, a realm that countless warriors cannot reach even in their lifetimes.
And here, there are five.
And they are metal puppets that cooperate tacitly, are tireless, and don't know pain.
"This... how to fight this?"
Someone who didn't know it beforehand murmured, their voices filled with disbelief.
No one answered him.
Everyone's eyes fell on the five puppets, their expressions as solemn as water.
Five metal puppets stand in a ring, dark gold, jet black, silver white, dark silver, bronze - the five colors glow with a cold light under the brilliance of Night-Luminescent Pearl.
They were motionless, like five immovable statues.
But those pairs of eyes of different colors revealed a kind of heart-stopping indifference.
Those who can stand here are all the top people in Prodigy Ranking in each county, and they have all entered Third Grade.
But even they couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring when faced with five metal puppets that were comparable to Third Grade Early Stage warriors.
Just when everyone was in awe, on one side of the hall, twelve Moon-White figures were walking slowly towards the passage.
Bai Yan is still at the forefront.
His pace was neither fast nor slow. The moon-white robe shone slightly under the light of Night-Luminescent Pearl, and the light cyan wind patterns on the cuffs were faintly visible.
His eyes fell on the five puppets in the passage, their expressions were calm and there was no emotion at all.
The moment he stepped into the passage, the five puppets moved at the same time.
Fierce Tiger Puppet kicked the ground with four claws, and Dark Gold's metal body turned into a stream of light, heading straight for Bai Yan's face.
Giant Bear Puppet took a big step, and the ground trembled slightly with each step. With the momentum of Mountain-Splitting Stone-Cracking, his palms were taken hard from the left side.
The giant python puppet shrank, then shot out like an arrow from a string, opened its huge metal mouth, and bit Bai Yan's waist and abdomen from the right side.
The giant ape puppet jumped up from behind, its dark silver arms crossed its knees, and its fists were clenched, crashing down like a giant hammer.
Giant Eagle Puppet flapped its wings, and the bronze metal wings cut through the air. With a shrill scream, it swooped down from above, and a pair of sharp claws reached Bai Yan's Tianling Cap.
Five puppets, shooting in five directions at the same time.
All evasion spaces are sealed.
Bai Yan's right hand finally pressed on the hilt of the sword.
"Keng--"
The long sword is unsheathed.
The sword body is light cyan, flowing with a warm brilliance under the brilliance of Night-Luminescent Pearl.
A fierce Sword Qi burst out from his body, and the Sword Qi was as solid as substance, as if there were countless invisible sharp blades cutting through the air.
The sword flashed.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang--!"
Five tones of gold and iron exploded almost simultaneously, reverberating in the hall like a long bell.
The figures of the five puppets that jumped forward were knocked back at the same time.
Fierce Tiger Puppet flew backwards and hit the wall of the passage heavily.
Giant Bear Puppet's huge body was uncontrollable and he staggered back a few steps.
The giant python puppet's head was slapped sideways, and its metal body rolled twice on the ground.
The giant ape puppet's fists were blown away, and the whole person fell backwards.
Giant Eagle Puppet was slashed into the sky by a sword, hit the dome, and then fell.
With one sword strike, five Third Grade Early Stage puppets were driven back.
Bai Yan sheathed the sword and kept walking.
Before the five puppets regrouped, he had passed through the passage and reached the other end.
From stepping in to passing through, it only takes a few breaths.
From beginning to end, Bai Yan looked calm, as if he had only done a trivial thing.
Low exclamations sounded in the hall.
"One sword... one sword will do..."
"Is this the genius of Overlord-Level Faction?"
Xu Qing was the second to step into the passage.
She drew her sword out of its scabbard, the sword was shining like a sword, and she fought with the five puppets.
Her Sword Technique is extremely powerful and has continuous characteristics.
Although the five puppets cooperated too well, the attacks came one after another like a tide.
Still, she seized the opportunity and passed through the passage.
The third Heavenly Origin Sect disciple stepped into the passage.
His strength was slightly weaker than Xu Qing. After fighting with five puppets for dozens of moves, he passed through the passage in a rather embarrassed manner.
Fourth place, fifth place, sixth place...
Heavenly Origin Sect disciples stepped into the passage one after another.
This time, even if they come from Overlord-Level Faction Heavenly Origin Sect, they cannot all pass.
In the end, twelve people passed the fourth level, three failed and nine succeeded.
The three who failed received a jade box containing heavenly materials and earthly treasures as a reward, and were wrapped in a golden barrier and given away Ancient Ruins.
In the hall, the geniuses from each county looked at this scene with different expressions.
"Heavenly Origin Sect twelve people, someone finally failed..."
Someone spoke in a low voice, with a bit of relief in his tone.
"But nine people from one sect have passed the fourth level... it's still an impressive achievement."
Another person answered, his voice full of complexity.
