“Why not?”

Feng Xia nodded with a faint smile. With a light tap of his foot, he followed closely behind Fang Yong and landed on the arena.

Click—

A thick screen of light rose and enveloped the entire arena.

Zhu Youniang was slightly shocked. “Feng Xia, there seems to be something wrong with this guy…”

However, she spoke too late. The light screen turned into an unbreakable barrier that completely sealed off the arena area.

She could see the situation in the arena, but her voice could not be transmitted inside it. Therefore, she could imagine that the people in the arena could not see or hear everything outside the arena!

“It works! That fellow is tricked into it!”

The moment the light screen closed up, several figures walked out with relieved smiles on their faces.

One of the two people walking in front was extraordinarily handsome and dressed in embroidered purple clothes. The other one was a slender man whose face twitched unnaturally when he saw Zhu Youniang.

Zhu Youniang immediately looked surprised. “You can really take a beating. Your face was still swollen like a pig’s head yesterday, but the swelling actually subsided overnight?”

“Hmph! I can’t be bothered to talk to you!”

Ye Yi’s expression looked unhappy and dark, like the bottom of a pot which had not been washed.

The injuries on his face yesterday naturally could not heal so quickly. However, Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan gave him a top-grade wound medicine and asked him to use it both internally and externally overnight. Only then did he manage to reduce the swelling on his face.

“Yesterday, Master warned me that the situation in the sect is very precarious now. I should speak as little as possible and not speak too confidently in case I accidentally cause trouble with my words. Today, I won’t bicker with you…”

After silently muttering this to himself a few times, Ye Yi put on a smile and pretended not to see Zhu Youniang. He cupped his hands at Mo Yushu and smiled.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Mo for helping me yesterday. Today, it’s all thanks to your good idea that we can teach this Feng a lesson.”

“Brother Ye, don’t say that.”

Compared to yesterday, Mo Yushu’s arrogance was much more restrained. At this moment, when he heard Ye Yi’s flattering words, he only shook his head slightly and smiled. “Actually, I’m just eager to spar with experts so that I can improve myself faster.”

“This fellow practitioner Feng’s strength is admirable. Therefore, I wonder where the limits of his strength are?”

“That’s true. Although Brother Fang’s talent is slightly inferior to ours, he has been cultivating for a much longer time. He just opened his sixth Mystical Wheel last month.”

Ye Yi did not retort. Instead, he chuckled and echoed, “There are a total of eight levels in the Inception Realm. Brother Fang is already at the sixth level now. Perhaps in a few more years, when Brother Fang progresses further, we will have another elder?”

At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice and instructed a fellow disciple beside him, “Is the Shadow Returning Jade Talisman ready?”

“Brother Ye, the other three junior brothers and I have each brought a Shadow Returning Jade Talisman and are waiting for the fight to begin,” the disciple hurriedly replied.

Both Ye Yi and Mo Yushu smiled when they heard the reply.

Since Feng Xia had come to the arena and onto the life and death platform, some things… were no longer up to him.

Although Feng Xia was an esteemed guest of the sect and it was impossible for them to blatantly kill him, anything could happen in a fight. Furthermore, with the special restrictions casted on the life and death platform, it was enough for them to suppress Feng Xia and study him thoroughly!

“Young Mr. Feng, I’m afraid this is not the martial arts arena at all, but the sect’s battlefield!”

“You’re not on the martial arts platform, but our sect’s life and death platform!”

…

“Fellow practitioner Feng, you are still too young.”

In the huge arena, the smile on Fang Yong’s face gradually turned from being simple and honest to being mocking. “Do you know what this place is?”

Feng Xia was stunned for a moment before smiling honestly. “The life and death platform of the Thousand Autumn Valley’s battlefield. Is there a problem?”

Fang Yong immediately laughed out loud. “The life and death platform? Big mistake! This isn’t the life and death platform at all! It’s the martial arts arena… Wait, you know that this is the life and death platform?!”

Feng Xia continued to nod, the guileless smile remaining on his face as he smiled wider to show off his teeth.

“Yes I do. Why?”

“You … you know about the life and death platform…”

In an instant, Fang Yong broke out in cold sweat. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. “Then don’t you know… the ‘fair fight’ mode on the life and death platform…”

“Of course I know.”

Feng Xia scratched the back of his head and said in surprise, “Fellow practitioner Fang, aren’t you going to start the fight?”

He could not wait to harvest attribute light balls.

A rough man like Fang Yong should probably not be dropping any Embroidery light balls?

“You even know this… Whatever!”

Thud thud thud!

Fang Yong’s heart skipped a beat. Then, he gritted his teeth and thought to himself, “This is not a ‘life-and-death duel’, but a ‘fair duel’. Even if he knows it in advance, it won’t change the course of the battle!”

Fair duel mode.

The life and death platform had countless restrictions casted on it to suppress the higher-level divine beings to the same realm as the lower-level divine beings.

At the same time, the weapons and equipment used by divine beings would face the same kind of restrictions to ensure that the battle was as fair as possible.

Under such conditions, it would be easy for them to find out more about Feng Xia!

“I’m already at the sixth level of the Inception Realm, and you’re being suppressed by the life and death platform. In a head-on battle, I can still defeat you—”

Since he had already stepped onto the life and death platform, how could he admit defeat so easily?

Fang Yong steeled his heart and a pair of metal boxing gloves appeared over his hands. Flames came out of them, emitting scorching heat that distorted the surrounding air!

The Thousand Autumn Valley was indeed known for its swordsmanship, but not all its disciples focused on swordplay.

Fang Yong was a good example. He had a physique that was naturally superior to ordinary people. Coupled with his own effort on cultivation, he could be said to be a rare master boxer in the Thousand Autumn Valley!

When he attacked with all his might, he could unleash nineteen punches in one breath. Every punch could crack rocks!

“Feng Xia, take my punch first!”

Fang Yong roared angrily and punched out with both fists. He was like a charging bull, giving off a scary and shocking aura.

With every big step he took, his aura weakened a little.

By the time he arrived in front of Feng Xia, the vital energy fluctuations on Fang Yong’s body were already so weak that he was almost no different from a mortal. Even the flames on his boxing gloves seemed to be inexplicably suppressed and then disappeared with a poof.

Finally, Fang Yong’s fists landed on Feng Xia’s chest.

Feng Xia: “?”

…
