Everyone doubted they had heard correctly.
Ning Wuque actually intends to attack Yang Zhen, and even claims it's to test whether Yang Zhen is qualified to be the leader?
What's even more baffling is that Yang Zhen showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he asked with an eager look, "You really want to fight me?"
Damn it, can you please wake up?
Ning Wuque is a cultivator who has already stepped into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Killing you, a mere Void Refinement Realm cultivator, would be a piece of cake for him. Why are you so excited, rubbing your fists together? Do you really think Ning Wuque will stop short of a fight?
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen in astonishment, wondering where he got the courage to say such a thing.
Ning Wuque was even more stunned, looking at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, his lips twitching incessantly.
If I had known Yang Zhen would agree so readily, I wouldn't have bothered asking about the Rogue Cultivator; I could have just told Yang Zhen directly.
Ning Wuque Yang Zhen with a gloomy and uncertain expression, a mocking smile appearing on his lips, and said, "What, you don't dare?"
A faint killing intent emanated from Ning Wuque, and all the cultivators who sensed it were horrified, staring at Ning Wuque in shock.
Ning Wuque wants to kill Yang Dingtian!
This was the first thing that came to everyone's mind after sensing Ning Wuque's killing intent.
From the crowd, Hua Youyue slowly stood up, gave Ning Wuque a deep look, and then gracefully walked past the Ink Pool Peak members to Yang Zhen's side, softly saying, " Ning Wuque, I'll fight you!"
Ning Wuque's face turned ashen. He stared at Hua Youyue, about to speak, when Yang Zhen suddenly turned Hua Youyue around, glaring at her and saying, "Little girl, don't try to steal my monsters!"
Stealing monsters?
Upon hearing this word, everyone almost burst out laughing.
Damn it, everyone's been worried about you all this time, and you just think Ning Wuque's a monster and won't even let Hua Youyue steal him?
Some people noticed Yang Zhen's way of addressing Hua Youyue, gasped, almost bit their tongues, and began to look at Ning Wuque with schadenfreude.
Did you hear that? Yang Zhen even called Spirit Maiden Hua a little girl, and Spirit Maiden Hua protected Yang Zhen Yang Zhen so much that she was willing to fight you rather than give you a chance to kill him.
This was truly like a ton of dog food being thrown directly at Ning Wuque's face, leaving him drenched in blood.
Hua Youyue looked up at Yang Zhen, shook her head, and said, "He's about to undergo his tribulation!"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, pushed Hua Youyue aside, and said smugly, "I'm almost lost in my own world too!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators nearly tripped and fell to the ground.
"Divine Travel my ass! Divine Travel is just a mere Spirit Wandering Realm, yet you make it sound so grand and impressive, as if breaking through to the Spirit Wandering Realm would allow you to fight Ning Wuque about to enter the Tribulation Transcendence Realm."
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen disbelief, their astonishment and uncertainty unable to discern the source of his mysterious confidence.
Ning Wuque, whose face had already turned Ning Wuque and who had just eaten a ton of dog food, suddenly showed a look of surprise after hearing Yang Zhen's words, staring at Yang Zhen as if he were an idiot.
In fact, it wasn't just Ning Wuque; everyone present was looking at Yang Zhen as if he were an idiot.
I've never heard of someone at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm being able to fight someone at the peak of the Spirit Wandering Realm, and to say it with such confidence.
No, that's not confidence, that's arrogance!
Most people shook their heads inwardly. Even the old palace master and the Palace Master Liu showed hesitation, with some disappointment and more doubt in their eyes.
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Yang Zhen. However, what puzzled everyone even more was that after hearing Yang Zhen's words, Hua Youyue actually nodded and returned to Mo Xueling's side.
Holy crap!
Everyone stared blankly at Yang Zhen, then at Hua Youyue.
No, is that all?
Yang Zhen's statement that he was about to break through to the Spirit Wandering Realm actually convinced Hua Youyue, and she actually went back like that?
This... Hua Youyue's trust in Yang Zhen far too blind?
Ning Wuque was also taken aback, then burst into laughter, pointing at Yang Zhen and saying, " Yang Dingtian, it seems even Spirit Maiden Hua is disappointed in you. Do you really think that breaking through to the Spirit Wandering Realm makes you a match for me, Ning Wuque? Oh, by the way, you haven't broken through yet!"
At this point, Ning Wuque seemed to have encountered the happiest thing in his life, and burst into laughter.
"I haven't broken through yet; I'd almost forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."
Yang Zhen glanced at Ning Wuque with a calm expression and said, "Then wait for me a moment, I'll break through first."
As he spoke, Yang Zhen actually sat down on the ground with a thud and closed his eyes.
"You... you've been cultivating?"
"This Yang Dingtian is really... really unconventional!"
"To cultivate at a time like this? Can anyone tell me, is this even possible?"
A group of people stared blankly at Yang Zhen. No one expected that this bastard would have more than two thousand people watching him cultivate, including many experts at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and seniors from major sects.
Ning Wuque suddenly snorted coldly, staring at Yang Zhen and said, " Yang Dingtian, don't put on airs. Do you think we're going to guard you here for a year just because you can't break through?"
Yang Zhen raised his eyelids slightly. "It won't take that long. That's the kind of time only good-for-nothings like you would take. A genius like me, whose talent has shaken the ages, only needs a short while, maybe... half an incense stick?"
Half an incense stick?
Everyone's expression changed drastically; they were utterly speechless at Yang Zhen.
That's ridiculous! Given Yang Zhen's current level of strength, let alone half an incense stick's time, he might not even be able to break through to the Spirit Wandering Realm in a year or two. How dare he utter such a laughable statement as "half an incense stick's time"?
Ning Wuque sneered, pointed at Yang Zhen, and before he could speak, his expression suddenly changed.
Yang Zhen suddenly stood up, stretched, and immediately a series of crackling sounds rang out.
"Alright!"
Seeing that Yang Zhen indeed possessed the aura of the Spirit Wandering Realm cultivator, everyone's jaws nearly dropped to the ground.
impossible!
How the hell is that possible?
Was Yang Zhen suppressing his cultivation level the whole time?
That shouldn't be the case. If someone is deliberately concealing their strength, others wouldn't be able to tell. It's impossible for experts like the former Palace Master and Palace Master Liu, who are at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, not to sense anything at all.
But if one weren't concealing their true strength, how could they break through so easily?
What about celestial phenomena?
Where is the rumbling thunder?
Can one's spirit, soul, and physical body roam freely in the outer world?
Even if one has just entered the Spirit Wandering Realm, and their soul cannot leave the body too far, only within a radius of about three zhang, it can still leave the body, right?
There was nothing there. Yang Zhen Yang Zhen there for a while, and before he could even get comfortable, he stood up, stretched, and then, in a flash, he had successfully broken through?
You could at least let your mind wander outside your body, even just a little bit, just to show your presence.
Ning Wuque's face contorted with rage as he pointed at Yang Zhen and roared, "You're playing me?"
boom--!
An overwhelming power erupted from Ning Wuque, his powerful Spirit Wandering State aura soaring into the sky, causing waves of energy to surge. His Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions condensed into a long sword, which suddenly rushed towards Yang Zhen.
" Yang Dingtian, you are doomed to die today! I, Ning Wuque, will show you what it means to be 'Holy shit...'"
The terrifying longsword slashed wildly down at Yang Zhen. Ning Wuque, his expression sinister and furious, suddenly widened his eyes as he watched a huge foot coming towards him, growing bigger and bigger... bigger and bigger.
