"What is that aura?"
When Fang Qianyuan raised the black sphere high and lifted it into the sky, turning it into a black moon suspended hundreds of feet overhead, almost every living being on and around the battlefield froze involuntarily.
"This aura... it's Young Master Fang!"
The Azure Cloud Eight Elites were fighting a group of enemies on the battlefield, and the sight left them deeply astonished.
"Wasn't he supposed to stay behind and watch our backs while we watched his? How did he get out in front?"
"We can't keep up with his speed... no wonder these people are desperately holding us here. They must have received word beforehand!"
Opposite the Azure Cloud Eight Elites, several Central Province Earth Rank Spirit Tamers who had fought them before also looked toward the black moon with grave expressions.
"The fighting has started over there too..."
"The Grand Commander has ordered us to hold the Eight Geniuses here at all costs. We must not let them join Fang Qianyuan!"
Among them, Feng Yan, He Dongling, and Jian Ruyi each stood in a different corner of the battlefield, looking up at the black moon with differing expressions.
"That's his aura..."
A trace of profound dread flashed through Feng Yan's eyes, and an emotion that felt like fear had taken command welled up from the depths of his heart.
"He seems to have grown even stronger!"
He had fought Fang Qianyuan several times, but apart from the first pursuit alongside Divine Wind Daoist, he had only been able to beat the drum from the sidelines, never qualified to serve as a main combatant.
He Dongling and Jian Ruyi likewise had no intention of fighting Fang Qianyuan again. Their successive defeats had all but left them haunted by this rapidly rising young powerhouse.
