The Aftermath of Victory

Zhang Yang only relaxed after entering the Inverted Five Elements Formation.

He had barely relaxed when he immediately showed signs of exhaustion.

It wasn't that he was physically tired, but rather that he was Divine Soul exhausted.

That Ghost God's Sigh just now was more tiring than eight times a night; he had absolutely no energy left.

"Eldest Senior Brother, are you alright?" Situ Mingyue asked anxiously, "What happened?"

In their view, Zhang Yang had easily defeated Leng Qingfeng, hadn't he?

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't let your guard down in the defensive formation. Let me recover for a while."

He first took two Origin-Restoring Pills to allow his body to slowly recover its lost spiritual power and maintain it at its peak.

Then he closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and stopped thinking about anything.

Seeing Zhang Yang's state, the four people around him dared not disturb him and quickly became on guard.

If Zhang Yang gets into trouble, they'll be in big danger.

These major sects will not let them off the hook. If they don't Zhang Yang using the Qingxu Pagoda, they won't be able to intimidate the other sects.

While on guard, the individuals harbored varying feelings.

For Situ Mingyue, her heart was surging with excitement. Her Eldest Senior Brother had defeated the core prodigy of the Great Snow Mountain and even repelled the son of the Sage Master of the Langya Sacred Land. How many people in the world could match such prowess?

More importantly, below that arena were the prodigies of the Nine Great Sects.

This group of people were all lining up to challenge the Eldest Senior Brother. Facing so many powerful enemies, the Eldest Senior Brother was actually chatting and laughing, showing no fear at all, and even defeated several of them.

This... this...

The only flaw of the Eldest Senior Brother is that he has no sense of romance!

Hu Dali was also looking at Zhang Yang strangely. He found that this inexplicably appearing older brother was quite formidable.

What puzzled him even more was that this was clearly a person, so why would it use the White Tiger Divine Art? Could it be one of its kind that had already taken human form?

He kept glancing behind Zhang Yang, watching to see if a tail would suddenly appear...

Qingxu was also looking at Zhang Yang, his face full of satisfaction.

He found that he enjoyed being with Zhang Yang and was able to get some brilliant ideas from Zhang Yang, which stimulated his own thinking.

Moreover, Zhang Yang is strong, polite to me, and easy to talk to... Could there be a better companion?

As for those people One-Guard Monastery... they're just a bunch of opportunistic scoundrels. They call you "senior brother" when they need you, and "madman" when they don't... Bah, they're not human!

Zi Yan didn't look at Zhang Yang, but her feelings were incredibly complicated.

Back then, when Heavenly Profound Daoist took her to the Azure Cloud Sect for a marriage alliance, she was extremely unwilling. However, out of gratitude to her master, she could not refuse.

At that time, she had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Zhang Yang, however, was merely at the Golden Core Realm!

What baffled her even more was that she, a Nascent Soul Realm, was betrothed to the Golden Core Realm cultivator, yet the Golden Core Realm still refused?

This made her even angrier!

In the Azure Cloud Continent, the Heavenly Profound Sect holds a top-tier position due to the existence of Heavenly Profound Daoist, a Dao Integration Realm.

It could even be said that when the Azure Cloud Sect disappeared, the Heavenly Profound Sect became the number one sect in the Azure Cloud Continent.

Therefore, Zi Yan considers herself a prodigy!

Upon arriving at the Prodigy Battlefield, her confidence was utterly shattered after seeing the other prodigies.

Compared to the prodigies of those top sects, what kind of prodigy is she?

After witnessing Zhang Yang's battle with Leng Qingfeng, all her confidence vanished. She finally understood that, with her talent, she was probably just a disciple with slightly better aptitude in those major sects!

On the contrary, those she once looked down upon trampled the geniuses of those major sects underfoot.

Compared to that, what did her past pride amount to?

She looked up at Zhang Yang silently for a moment, then turned her head away again.

She secretly thought, "If only the marriage had gone through back then!"

Unfortunately, even if she agreed, someone else wouldn't!

Meanwhile, outside the arena, members of several major sects were also discussing their own plans.

They were all discussing how to defeat Zhang Yang.

Just as Leng Qingfeng said, when Zhang Yang defeated Kong Xiuping, it could be said that he caught Kong Xiuping off guard. However, the battle with Leng Qingfeng was a real clash.

Although they ultimately defeated Leng Qingfeng using a method that no one could understand, it revealed a terrifying truth.

Zhang Yang can actually attack the Divine Soul!

This is terrifying!

"I don't believe he comprehended the power of the Primordial Spirit at the Nascent Soul Realm!" Hui Yun shook her head repeatedly. "I believe he used a kind of sonic technique similar to the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds of our Return to Origin Temple, which used the Principle of sound to influence the Divine Soul. It's just that Leng Qingfeng wasn't proficient in this kind of power, so he exaggerated it."

Hui Qing nodded slightly. "Even if it's a sonic technique, this is still an extremely powerful method. Since its inception, very few people have mastered the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds of my Return to Origin Temple."

Hui Yun smiled and said, "Senior brother, you're exceptionally talented, haven't you grasped it too? When the time comes, you can use the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds to show that kid what true sonic power is."

"No rush, let's take a look some more!" Hui Qing shook her head.

By watching more of Zhang Yang's battles, one can gain a clearer understanding of Zhang Yang combat strength and become more confident in making a move.

At the One-Guard Monastery camp, many of the One-Guard Monastery members were also discussing the matter.

"Tomorrow, I will make my move!" Zixu said solemnly. "Tomorrow, I will propose a bet to bring Qingxu back! I don't care what you think of Qingxu, but Qingxu talent is extremely important to us."

"I didn't see anything important about it," a One-Guard Monastery said, Qi Ingestion.

Zixu glanced at the disciple who had spoken and said coldly, "If you didn't see it, you're just stupid! Haven't you all figured it out yet?"

Where did Zhang Yang and his group get so many Law Treasure?

If I'm not mistaken, they were all refined by Qingxu.

Did you see the power of that tower?

The fact that he can unleash the power of the Primordial Spirit Realm is enough to demonstrate Qingxu's weapon-refining ability.

This was made in such a short time; if I asked you to do it, who among you could do it?

Therefore, Qingxu must be brought back to One-Guard Monastery!

Ling Xu nodded slightly. "Qingxu should indeed be taken back. We can use the excuse of punishing him to protect him. If anyone causes trouble at this time, don't blame me for punishing them according to the sect rules."

He emphasized this point first before looking at Zixu and saying, "Junior Sister, the key now is how to deal with that brat Zhang Yang."

"I have confidence in my abilities!" Zixu said earnestly. "I have studied the art of Talisman for many years, so defeating him shouldn't be a problem."

Kong Xu suddenly said, "We still need to be careful... Did you see those Talisman? Among those people, there's someone who understands Talisman."

Zixu nodded. "I understand! But I've already looked into it, all the Talisman are Explosive Flame Talisman and Lightning Talisman... This must be because they specifically learned these two types of Talisman to deal with the Prodigy Battlefield."

At this point, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The Azure Cloud Sect has some experts. They really are... They actually brought a Demon Beast directly into the Prodigy Battlefield to collect Spirit Blood to make Talisman... We were all fooled. At first, we all thought it was a mount!"

How could we not think of something so simple?

Ling Xu sighed, "Perhaps we've always looked down on low-level Demon Beast, yet we've never had the chance to interact with high-level Demon Beast! Maybe we can do the same in the next era!"

They discovered that there were some things they needed to learn from the Azure Cloud Sect!

"These are all things for later. I'll prepare first and see how to defeat Zhang Yang tomorrow and bring Qingxu back!" Zixu greeted everyone and then went to make preparations.

She can only win tomorrow, she cannot afford to lose!
