“No, Zhuge Qing’s Wu Hou Qi Men is too difficult, and his three opponents weren’t strong enough. If they could’ve lasted a bit longer, I could have learned more.”
Fang Yang shook his head regretfully.
The match ended, and Fang Yang’s progress in comprehending Qi Men Dun Jia was stuck at 15%.
Hearing Fang Yang’s complaints, Wang Ye’s eye twitched.
His expression completely collapsed.
“Fang Yang, be human! You just watched the match, and you already entered the realm of Qi Men Dun Jia. You’re a goddamn genius!”
Even Wang Ye, with his calm demeanor, couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy.
This absurd talent! It’s terrifying!
There are only a certain amount of innate talent in the world, and this guy, Fang Yang, has eight bushels, while Old Heavenly Master has one, and the rest of the exorcists share the remaining one!
Wang Ye had something on his mind.
By watching Zhuge Qing use Wu Hou Qi Men, Fang Yang had entered the realm of Qi Men Dun Jia.
If he were to see himself using Feng Hou Qi Men, would he be able to comprehend Feng Hou Qi Men as well?
“Sigh, suddenly I feel like my Feng Hou Qi Men isn’t that impressive anymore. It’s one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, after all!”
Wang Ye collected himself and decided to pay a late-night visit to Old Heavenly Master.
He had to let this leader of the exorcist world deal with this troublesome matter.
The preliminary rounds ended.
Thirty-two people advanced to the next round.
The next stage would be a one-on-one challenge.
“Fang Yang, who’s your first opponent?” Wang Ye asked.
Fang Yang opened the slip of paper, and a smile spread across his face.
“It’s Xiao Xiao! I’ve only learned half of his Xing Qi. When we fight face-to-face on stage, I should be able to learn the other half!”
Be a human, please!
Wang Ye felt a hint of mischievousness in Fang Yang’s smile.
Just imagine.
Tomorrow’s match, Xiao Xiao prepares to use Xing Qi against Fang Yang, only to find that the other guy knows it too, and he’s even better!
Wang Ye could already picture Xiao Xiao’s shock, no, it should be terror!
“It’ll probably take that guy a long time to get over it,”
Wang Ye pondered to himself.
“It’s a good opportunity to let Old Heavenly Master keep an eye on Fang Yang tomorrow. Let him see for himself this guy’s godlike talent!”
“All Fang Yang wants is the Tong Tian Lu. We can just arrange things behind the scenes, and let Old Lu give it to him beforehand. It’s a win-win situation!”
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up, feeling that this plan was brilliant.
Night fell.
The thirty-two winners, along with some other young people, all stayed at the mountain. They planned to have a bonfire party.
Fang Yang wouldn’t miss this tonight.
After all, Zhang Chu Lan's “walking his bird under the moonlight” was a famous scene in “One Punch Man”!
Besides, he could also try to comprehend the talisman of the guardian spirit’s cinnabar.
Meanwhile.
Old Heavenly Master sat on his bed, looking at the match schedule, feeling a bit conflicted.
“I just wanted to let Zhang Chu Lan acknowledge his ancestry. Why is there so much trouble?”
“These young people like Zhuge Qing don’t give this old man a break…”
Old Heavenly Master raised his head, calmly looking out the door.
“Whoever’s outside, come in. It’s late at night. What are you doing lurking outside?”
The door opened a crack, and Wang Ye poked his head in, smiling sheepishly.
“Good morning, Old Heavenly Master?”
Then, he squeezed his way in.
“Little Wang Ye?”
Old Heavenly Master was curious why this young guy was here.
“It’s late at night. You’re acting sneaky. What are you up to?”
Wang Ye rubbed his nose, his expression a little awkward.
“What? I’m here to solve your problems.”
“Solve my problems?”
“Yeah! I’m here to let you know, you don’t have to worry about Zhuge Qing. Look at the match schedule. Isn’t he facing me?”
Wang Ye spoke confidently.
“You mean, the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion of the Commander in Chief of the Zhengyi Sect, going after a junior from the Wu Hou Sect… Old Heavenly Master, don’t even think about it!”
“Don’t even think about it, let alone do it!”
Wang Ye’s expression was serious.
“It would affect the reputation of the Heavenly Master’s Mansion, not to mention, it would change someone’s destiny!”
“I calculated before, that your tribulation would come from Zhuge Qing.”
Wang Ye hesitated a little.
He had indeed calculated that Zhuge Qing would be key to the outcome of the Roaming Dragon Tournament!
But now.
From the moment he met Fang Yang, destiny had changed!
Zhuge Qing could be the key!
Fang Yang could also be the key!
The variables had changed from one to two!
How strange.
“Old Heavenly Master, I’ll handle Zhuge Qing’s problem!”
Old Heavenly Master looked at Wang Ye calmly and smiled slightly:
“What? You… never mind, I won’t ask about your business. But you shouldn’t pry too deep into mine. It’s not good for you!”
Wang Ye immediately agreed, “That’s right, that’s right, Old Heavenly Master. I don’t want to create trouble for myself!”
“Alright, Little Wang Ye, when your master, Yun Long, came to Longhu Mountain for a visit, he often mentioned a few of his disciples. Did he mention you? He usually shook his head, sighed, and clicked his tongue.”
Wang Ye chuckled sheepishly, “You don’t have to tell me that. My master doesn’t really like me.”
Old Heavenly Master’s eyes, which rarely showed seriousness, scrutinized Wang Ye.
“Are you sure you can deal with Zhuge Qing? I wouldn’t even dare give Zhang Lingyu a guarantee!”
Wang Ye remained with the same expression, “Well… I think so!”
Now Old Heavenly Master was interested.
“Why don’t I test you out, old man?”
Wang Ye’s smiling eyes opened, looking at Old Heavenly Master.
This was the undisputed leader of the exorcist world!
Number one!
Even if he couldn’t win against him, he could see where he stood.
But…
“Old Heavenly Master, I have something very important to tell you!”
“What is it? Can’t we fight first?”
“This is really important!”
Wang Ye put on his most serious expression.
“I can handle Zhuge Qing for you, but there’s one person who’s really troublesome, extremely troublesome!”
Old Heavenly Master’s eyes involuntarily fell on the match schedule.
Besides Zhuge Qing, who else among the young people was worth paying attention to?
“Old Heavenly Master, have you heard of the name Fang Yang?”
Old Heavenly Master looked at the name on the match schedule and shook his head.
“No, I haven’t. He seems to be just a loose cultivator, but to make it to the top thirty-two, it shows he has good potential!”
Wang Ye grinned.
“He has more than just good potential. He’s terrifying!”
“I’ve been by Fang Yang’s side all day today. I saw with my own eyes, that he just watched the matches, and he already learned half of Xiao Xiao’s Xing Qi!”
“While Zhuge Qing was fighting, he actually entered the realm of Qi Men Dun Jia!”
“I was scared to death!”
Old Heavenly Master’s calm heart, for the first time, was disturbed.
And it was a huge disturbance.
His calm, still gaze rippled, as he looked at Wang Ye in surprise.
“You’re saying that this loose cultivator named Fang Yang learned Xing Qi and Qi Men Dun Jia just by watching?”
Wang Ye solemnly nodded.
“Yes, if I’m lying even a little bit, then… then let my dad go bankrupt!”
Old Heavenly Master’s heart jerked.
“There are people with such powerful talent in the world? Perhaps it’s a good thing for the exorcist world, but for my Longhu Mountain and this Roaming Dragon Tournament, it might not be a good thing!”
Old Heavenly Master’s demeanor became fierce.
He might have to act like a shameless scoundrel for once.
To lay hands on a junior!
Wang Ye suddenly felt like a piece of driftwood, tossed about in raging waves.
He was horrified!
Didn’t Old Heavenly Master say he was going to “test” him?
He wouldn’t think that I guessed his thoughts, and feel embarrassed, so he’s going to beat me up?
You’ve got this aura, how are you planning to “test” me?
Wang Ye knew that Old Heavenly Master might attack Fang Yang, so he quickly said:
“Old Heavenly Master, please calm down. Fang Yang is not interested in the Heavenly Master’s Degree. He’s only participating in the Roaming Dragon Tournament for Old Lu’s Tong Tian Lu!”
Old Heavenly Master instantly retracted his fierce aura.
“Are you sure he only wants the Tong Tian Lu?”
“Yes! He’s a loose cultivator. He could steal techniques during the Roaming Dragon Tournament, all because he doesn’t have a complete set of techniques.”
“Therefore, his goal is the Tong Tian Lu!”
Old Heavenly Master frowned.
“It’s all Old Lu’s fault, he insisted on using the Tong Tian Lu as a reward.”
“No, I can’t just sit here, I’m so agitated. I’m going to beat up Lu Jin…”
“Little Wang Ye, you?”
Wang Ye smiled sheepishly, “I’ll go back to sleep now. Do what you want, Old Heavenly Master.”
Then he turned and went out.
“Sorry, Old Lu. A dead friend is better than a dead Daoist!”
Old Heavenly Master looked at Fang Yang’s name.
He decided to witness it himself tomorrow!
