    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    Nobody expected that Fang Yuan would show up here. ording to thepetition rules of Central


    Continent’s Refinement Path Convention, from the eighth round onwards, there can only be one winner


    from each test venue.


    Thus, gradually, the whole of Central Continent’s test venues became domains to be dominated by


    skilled refinement path Gu Masters, like fierce beasts ruling over a territory..


    Unless they were forced to have no other choice, no beast would move out of their territory to


    challenge another beast.


    This was not sensible.


    The further they advanced, the higher the glory and rewards they could obtain. Having a decisive


    showdown early on would only let someone else reap the benefits.


    Thus, when they saw Fang Yuan, many Gu Masters guessed: “Does Fang Yuan have some enmity


    with Firesmith Dragon Chief?”


    The Demon Expelling Sect elder hosting this round of thepetition also felt baffled, but showed no


    expression on his face.


    Fang Yuan’s entry was in ordance to thepetition’s rules. As long as someone entered any test


    venue within the set time, their results would be recorded.


    Thus, even if there were people who wanted to obstruct someone, they could not do so under


    everyone’s gazes.


    “This person is Fang Yuan? Is he that famous owner of Hu Immortal blessednd in our sect?”


    Immortal Crane Sect’s disciples also began to guess.


    “Truthfully speaking, our sect’s Lord Fang Yuan is truly mysterious. I have yet to see his true


    appearance.”


    “This is Fang Yuan? Impossible. Central Continent is sorge, there are also Gu Masters with the same


    name.”


    “Fang Yuan and Feng Jin Huang’s agreement has already been widely spread. Our Immortal Crane


    Sect has many exemption quotas, Fang Yuan could have simply conserved his energy and participated


    from the tenth round onwards.”


    Immortal Crane Sect’s disciples discussed, many of them stealthily ncing at Fang Zheng’s face.


    Fang Zheng’s lips were pursed tight, his face looked pale-white and his hands were clenched tightly


    within hisrge sleeves. They were brothers by blood, the moment Fang Yuan appeared, Fang Zheng


    could intuitively tell that it was his big brother!


    Fang Zheng was caught unprepared.


    The shadow during his childhood years suddenly fell and shrouded over him again at this moment,


    seemingly like a pair of ck hands were tightly clenching his neck.


    Fang Zheng felt suffocated.


    The nightmare, that he had done his best to evade from since he woke up from hisa, attacked his


    mind once again!


    The arrogant exmations and cheers of Myriad Dragon Dock group gradually turned quieter.


    Fang Yuan had disyed high refinement path attainment, seizing first ce in all the past seven


    rounds, the same as Firesmith Dragon Chief.


    Myriad Dragon Dock’s elders and disciples had to admit Fang Yuan was a powerful opponent!


    “I heard this Fang Yuan’s achievement is the same as that of our Firesmith Dragon Chief, seizing first


    ce in all seven rounds.”


    “Is he that person who is duelling Feng Jin Huang?”


    “If it is truly him, then that is the owner of Hu Immortal blessednd, he should be very affluent.”


    “So what? Hmph, haven’t you seen the rankings. Firesmith Dragon Chief is ranked at seventh, but


    where is Fang Yuan ced at? It is beyond thirtieth ce!”


    “Right, he is simply looking for humiliation bying here. I believe Lord Firesmith Dragon Chief will


    definitely defeat him.”


    Although Myriad Dragon Dock’s group said this, other spectators did not have the same thoughts.


    Fang Yuan entered on his own ord, showing an extremely aggressive stance. Fang Yuan was


    clearly not a fool, he surely had confidence and trump cards to move out of his territory and attack.


    Fang Yuan’s unorthodox behavior made Firesmith Dragon Chief startled, furious and doubtful.

    Thereupon, Firesmith Dragon Chief probed: “Fang Yuan of Immortal Crane Sect! Are youing to


    lose in advance?”


    What Firesmith Dragon Chief truly wanted to ask was: Why are youing here topete? Couldn’t


    you have just stayed in your territory and advanced safely? You must be smoking something!


    At the same time as he asked this, he felt gloomy inwardly — We don’t have any grudges, what are


    you trying to do by disturbing me? Don’t you still have the duel with Feng Jin Huang? Do I look that


    easy to bully?


    The moment he spoke, the uproar turned even louder.


    “What, this Fang Yuan is actually a member of Immortal Crane Sect?”


    “Isn’t he a demonic cultivator?”


    “It should be true, Firesmith Dragon Chief has personally confirmed it, can it still be false?”


    “This is big news, who could have thought he was actually a disciple of one of the ten great ancient


    sects… But why did hee here? Did Immortal Crane Sect have a fight with Myriad Dragon Dock? I


    haven’t heard rumors about any disputes.”


    Even the hosting elder was looking with eyes wide open, staring at Fang Yuan nkly.


    At once, Fang Yuan became the focal point of everyone’s gazes.


    “Big brother…” Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, his face pale as paper and his body filled with cold sweat


    unknowingly. He was feeling difficulty in breathing, and also physical weakness, as if he had copsed


    after doing intense exercise.


    Fortunately, everyone was gazing at Fang Yuan and no one noticed his miserable state.


    Lord Sky Crane consoled him from his aperture, but there was almost no effect.


    Other Immortal Crane Sect members were excitedly gazing at Fang Yuan, some even stood up


    unconsciously.


    Fang Yuan had never officially appeared in Immortal Crane Sect’s headquarters. However, his legends


    were spread widely in Immortal Crane Sect. Mysterious and powerful, with countless rumors regarding


    him.


    It was said that he had outstanding talents, such that he was taken in as a legacy disciple by a Gu


    Immortal the moment he stepped into Immortal Crane Sect.


    This was of course a rumor, purely spective andpletely unreliable.


    However, Immortal Crane Sect’s higher ups could not refute them, once they spoke the truth, where


    would their reputation as one of the ten great ancient sects remain?


    Moreover, Immortal Crane Sect’s disciples were more willing to believe the proof in front of them.


    The greatest proof was Fang Zheng!


    Fang Zheng had A grade aptitude and already had rank five cultivation now, bing a sect elder.


    They could only imagine, as his big brother, how outstanding Fang Yuan’s aptitude must be. Otherwise,


    how could he have won against Feng Jin Huang and seized Hu Immortal blessednd?


    Right now, Immortal Crane Sect’s members was stretching their necks, firmly fixing their gazes upon


    Fang Yuan like glue.


    Uncertainty and curiosity was overflowing from within their hearts.


    “I really want to see Lord Fang Yuan’s true appearance.”


    “It should be simr to Elder Fang Zheng’s.”


    “Sigh, why did he have to wear a mask. This is a test venue, if we carelessly use investigative Gu, we


    will be thrown out.”


    The disciplesmunicated excitedly.


    The other Immortal Crane Sect elder finally discovered Fang Zheng’s state and asked with concern:


    “Elder Fang Zheng, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”


    “Nothing, nothing…” Fang Zheng’s heart skipped a beat, hurriedly replying.


    ‘Why does Elder Fang Zheng seem to be afraid of Fang Yuan, is the rtionship between these


    brothers not good?’ A strange look shed past the elder’s eyes.


    Fang Yuan’s eyes were hidden behind the mask. He first slowly nced around, pausing a moment on


    Fang Zheng before slowlynding on Firesmith Dragon Chief.


    He chuckled, breaking the long silence, his voice somewhat hoarse as he proudly proimed to


    everyone present: “Right, I am Immortal Crane Sect’s Fang Yuan.”


    “Haha, it was true!”


    “Elder Fang Yuan, best of luck!”


    “Elder Fang Yuan and Elder Fang Zheng are our sect’s heroes.”


    The most intense response was from Immortal Crane Sect’s group. Some disciples almost jumped in


    excitement, they felt pride and a strong sense of honor in their sect, after being suppressed by Myriad


    Dragon Dock, right now, with Fang Yuan’s words, they felt really relieved and avenged.


    “What are you so happy about?”


    “Right! What is there to be pleased about…”


    Myriad Dragon Dock’s group retorted.


    Hatred shed past Fang Zheng’s eyes, as he said with clenched teeth: “Don’tpare my brother


    with me!”


    These words, however, had another meaning when heard by others.


    “Did you hear it, even Elder Fang Zheng, with his aptitude, admits he is inferior to Lord Fang Yuan!”


    “That’s right, reportedly Fang Yuan is a Gu Immortal seed and the higher ups are nurturing him with all


    their strength.”


    Immortal Crane Sect’s disciples talked in a ‘soft’ volume, but the sound was not soft at all.


    “You guys…” Fang Zheng’s expression turned ashen and he felt an intense dizziness.


    The expressions of Myriad Dragon Dock’s group turned even more unsightly.


    The atmosphere of conflict intensified.


    One elder of Myriad Dragon Dock sneered and cursed in a quiet voice: “Let’s see what kind of


    downcast expressions you guys will have when he loses.”


    The bustle outside the stage already made the other participants on the stage into props to be ignored.


    Fang Yuan continued to gaze at Firesmith Dragon Chief, and intentionally raised his voice: “Firesmith


    Dragon Chief, I came here to defeat you. It is way too boring to defeat those ipetents. You are a


    slightly decent opponent, you will add some radiance to my path of advancement. So use your true


    strength, don’t hold back, I remember your strongest method is, what was it… mad deity’s zing


    mes? Use it and fight me, this way when I defeat you, I can feel a little satisfaction.”


    Hearing such provocative words from Fang Yuan, whether it was on the stage or outside the stage, all


    the Gu Masters had the same feeling — arrogant, too arrogant!


    Everyone had already felt that Firesmith Dragon Chief was arrogant, but now that they saw Fang Yuan,


    they realized the saying ‘no matter how good you are, there is always someone better than you’ was


    completely true. Look at Fang Yuan, this was the true master of arrogance!


    Firesmith Dragon Chief was startled: ‘He actually knows about my hidden trump card?! This is


    impossible, I have never exposed this technique. How did he find out?’


    After the astonishment, anger rose in him as he countered: “Alright, since you, junior, are boasting so


    shamelessly, let me teach you a thorough lesson. I will make you understand what true pain is!”


    At the same time, he furiously shouted inwardly: ‘Will I, a grand rank six Gu Immortal who has


    undergone two heavenly tribtions and is only one away from rank seven, be afraid of you, a bottom


    tier immortal zombie? Kid, you think too highly of yourself, I will step on you and make you lose all your


    face! Blindly challenging me will be the greatest regret of your life!!’
