The next morning.
Fang Yang once again harvested a strand of pure Yang energy and a trace of innate energy.
Refining the Yang energy, Fang Yang's cultivation improved a bit more.
The innate energy was temporarily stored in his dantian, and he had already accumulated three traces of innate energy.
"I wonder what level I am at now?"
Fang Yang was somewhat curious about his current cultivation.
He practiced the breathing technique, which belonged to the realm of immortality cultivation.
According to the standard, the levels should be divided into "Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul..." and so on.
However, in fantasy novels, the protagonist has to face tribulations every time they break through a realm.
Being struck by lightning, surviving is the only way to advance in level.
But Fang Yang had yet to face any tribulations.
He also didn't feel the impending doom of being targeted by thunderclouds.
Instead, he felt a sense of being restrained, an eagerness to break free!
"It's probably because my time in cultivation is too short, lacking common knowledge about it... After this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony ends, I will return to the Love Apartment and make up for my foundational knowledge in cultivation."
At the competition venue.
Zhang Chulan had already left the stage, but Wang Ye had yet to appear, as he was currently being hunted by Feng Baobao.
In the audience.
There were quite a few people present.
The old Celestial Master pushed Tian Jinzong in, while Lu Jin was at another venue's audience area.
The president of the Tianxia Society, Feng Zhenghao, had long been there and was somewhat surprised to see the old Celestial Master's face.
"Old Celestial Master, what happened to your face?"
The old Celestial Master’s eye twitched slightly.
What else could it be? He got beaten up by the crazed old Lu last night!
But he couldn't say that; he had to maintain his esteemed image.
"Oh, I was researching my self-created technique, and something went wrong last night while channeling energy, causing a blockage in my Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, resulting in a swollen face. Please excuse me!"
Feng Zhenghao never expected anyone would dare to hit the old Celestial Master and asked with concern:
"But that doesn't explain why your eyes are bruised?"
The old Celestial Master was still being stubborn.
"After all, I am a few years older than you, and in my hundred years of cultivation, there are naturally mysteries!"
Feng Zhenghao chuckled, "I was too shallow, haha, it's commendable that you came to watch the match despite being unwell."
……
On the other side.
Fang Yang experienced a situation similar to Zhang Chulan's.
The opponent was late to arrive.
That bastard named Wang Bing!
The referee from the Celestial Master’s Mansion shouted loudly: "Wang Bing? Where is Wang Bing?"
"If he doesn't show up soon, I will declare Fang Yang the winner!"
"You dare!"
A sharp voice rang out, filled with threats.
A thin, yellow-haired young man with triangular eyes strolled into the arena leisurely.
"What’s the rush? Who dares to announce the result before this young master arrives?"
"Even if you are from the Celestial Master’s Mansion, the Celestial Master still has to give my old man some face!"
Arrogant!
Extremely arrogant!
The onlookers frowned at Wang Bing, harboring a deep-seated dislike for him.
But Wang Bing paid no attention to their gazes.
Instead, he held his head high, surveying the audience as if they were mere servants.
"I've never been liked since I was young because I'm different from those around me. Whatever I want, I just have to say it, and I can get it!"
"I know they don't like me, even despise me, but I enjoy this feeling!"
"The feeling of having everything!"
"The feeling of ignoring everything!"
"I know they distance themselves from me, and this gap is formed by their almost desperate sense of powerlessness."
"This kind of thing cannot be replaced by effort or luck."
"Because the gap between us is our origins!"
"I have a magnificent treasure mountain; I am someone who has stood at the top of the mountain since birth, and having everything is my privilege!"
"This world exists to welcome my arrival!"
"So I want the Tongtian Lu; these things should rightfully belong to me!"
Wang Bing looked down on Fang Yang.
"A mere lowly loose cultivator dares to block my path?"
"If you know what's good for you, kneel down and roll out!"
Fang Yang calmly looked at Wang Bing.
Indeed, he still wanted to kill this guy!
In an instant.
Earth and Wood Flowing Pillars activated!
This was Fang Yang's first complete use of this technique.
His whole being transformed into a bolt of lightning, appearing beside Wang Bing.
"Your mouth is really foul!"
Slap!
Fang Yang's palm, infused with Heart Fire and Lung Metal energy, landed directly on Wang Bing's mouth.
Boom!
Lightning flashed.
An explosion sounded from Wang Bing's mouth.
Dozens of bloodied teeth flew out from his mouth.
With one move, Wang Bing was severely injured!
Wang Bing's face was filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible? A mere lowly slave dares to..."
Slap!
Fang Yang swiftly delivered another slap.
Wang Bing was sent flying backward.
Fang Yang quickly chased after him, kicking him down from mid-air.
He stepped on Wang Bing's chest, using his toes to knead, repeatedly interrupting the qi that had finally gathered within him.
Fang Yang smiled slightly.
That smile resembled an executioner at the gallows.
Full of murderous intent!
Full of bloodshed!
"Wang Bing?"
"A scoundrel like you, I truly want to kill you..."
Wang Bing felt a bone-chilling killing intent from those words.
He panicked.
"You dare! You dare! My grandfather is a Ten Elder, and I am the direct heir of the Wang family. You, a mere loose cultivator, dare to kill me?"
Wang Bing shouted, but his voice quickly diminished.
Because he saw the look in Fang Yang's eyes.
That was definitely not a look directed at a person!
It was as if he were looking at a pig, a sheep, a fish!
This despicable loose cultivator actually regarded me as livestock?
How dare he?
How dare he!
Wang Bing was furious, just about to struggle, when Fang Yang delivered another kick.
This kick was quite heavy.
It directly caused Wang Bing to spit out blood.
However.
Fang Yang did not intend to let him off just like that.
In the next moment.
His foot landed on Wang Bing's dantian.
With a violent surge of qi, he could destroy Wang Bing's dantian and meridians, turning him into a cripple!
For an extraordinary person to become an ordinary one, it would be a fate worse than death!
Wang Bing collapsed at this moment.
"You scum, why does everyone have to go against me!"
"Wrong! You are all wrong!"
"Feng Xingtong was wrong; he should have obediently given the Snake Immortal to me!"
"Fang Yang was wrong; he should have knelt down and let me hit him. A mere loose cultivator, doesn't he fear my Wang family's power?"
"The old Celestial Master was also wrong; I never intended to become a Celestial Master. I just want the Tongtian Lu; why did he arrange such a terrifying opponent for me? He should have helped me!"
"That old thing Lu Jin was also wrong; why did he take out the Tongtian Lu as a prize!"
"Great-grandfather was wrong; he shouldn't have let me participate in the competition. He should have gone directly to ask Lu Jin!"
"You all, you are deliberately going against me!"
"This world shouldn't have anyone who defies me, right?"
"If a world that defies me could be destroyed, that would be great!"
Fang Yang looked at him coldly.
"This world doesn't go your way, does it? Then how about I send you away?"
Wang Bing had already been beaten into a daze, instinctively responding: "Sure~"
"You sought your own death, so I will fulfill your wish!"
Fang Yang's toes shifted, kicking towards Wang Bing's temple.
But he ultimately failed, being stopped by the referee.
Fang Yang left the stage with some regret, thinking he would have to wait for the next opportunity to finish him off.
On the way back, Fang Yang was stopped by Lu Jin.
"Fang Yang, I heard you are very interested in the Tongtian Lu?"
Here it comes!
Fang Yang's spirit lifted.
"Yes, Old Master Lu, I participated in this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony for the Tongtian Lu!"
Lu Jin looked at him deeply.
"Alright, follow me!"
