Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 285
Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Look Carefully With Your Eyes Wide Open
“`
Chen Sha, a third-tier Martial Emperor, was unable to take even a single move from Yang Xiaotian.
He was getting thoroughly thrashed.
No wonder that subordinate had said it was half a move.
Wei Zongyuan’s face shifted between shades of dark and light, if this was the case, then Yang Xiaotian’s combat strength might be no weaker than his own.
Thinking about how the newly arrived Yang Xiaotian might match his combat strength, Wei Zongyuan felt a terrible taste in his heart.
He was reputed to be the number one among the younger generation at Celestial Burial Academy—if Yang Xiaotian’s combat strength was not weaker than his, what did that make him?
Two number ones?
Thinking about there being two number ones gave him a feeling like a knife twisting in his heart.
He had condensed ten top-quality Golden Cores, and his talent measurement on the stele exceeded five thousand, making him the student with the highest talent measurement at Celestial Burial Academy in nearly a millennium.
He was also the direct disciple of the Demon Sky Sword God.
What qualifications did Yang Xiaotian have to be ranked equally with him?
Indeed, after the news of Yang Xiaotian’s thrashing of Chen Sha spread, the students of Celestial Burial Academy were once again shaken, with much discussion arising.
“Yang Xiaotian’s combat strength is too terrifying, isn’t it? At the peak of Martial Ancestor, he actually beat a third-tier Martial Emperor like Chen Sha to the point where he couldn’t even fight back. I heard that in the blink of an eye, Chen Sha took seven or eight punches, so hard that he even crapped himself!”
“No way!”
“Absolutely true! Wei Zongyuan’s tens of thousands of subordinates were all watching, but Yang Xiaotian moved too quickly for anyone to react.”
“Doesn’t that mean Yang Xiaotian’s combat strength might truly be on par with Wei Zongyuan? Who do you think is stronger or weaker between Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan?”
“If you ask me, Yang Xiaotian’s talent might actually exceed six thousand, and his combat strength is probably stronger than Wei Zongyuan’s!”
For a while, the students of Celestial Burial Academy were discussing so animatedly that their saliva flew.
Although Wei Zongyuan had monstrous talent and was acclaimed as the number one among the young generation at Celestial Burial Academy, commanding immense prestige, there were even more who envied him. During these discussions, it was inevitable that some would add fuel to the fire, intentionally belittling Wei Zongyuan to less than nothing.
They deliberately said that Yang Xiaotian’s talent exceeded Wei Zongyuan’s by a thousand!
They deliberately said Wei Zongyuan was no match for Yang Xiaotian with one hand tied behind his back.
When Wei Zongyuan heard these rumors, his face turned purple with rage.
“Damn it, these people are deliberately spreading rumors; I’m going to drag them out now and slap their mouths in!” Liang Lin, a subordinate of Wei Zongyuan, bellowed in anger.
Liang Lin was the son of a great marshal from Buddha Source Empire.
“Hold on!” Wei Zongyuan commanded. “How many people can you slap? Can you shut everyone’s mouth?” As he spoke, his eyes turned frigidly cold, “They say that Yang Xiaotian’s talent exceeds mine, right? Then I’ll make them open their eyes wide and see clearly who truly has the higher talent!”
Wei Zongyuan’s subordinates looked at each other.
Liang Lin had a vague idea of what their young master intended to do.
Wei Zongyuan asked, “Is Yang Xiaotian still at Wine Peak?”
“He’s still there.”
Moments later, Wei Zongyuan soared into the sky with a legion of subordinates following behind, heading majestically towards Wine Peak.
As soon as the students of Celestial Burial Academy saw Wei Zongyuan in motion, they all surged towards Wine Peak too.
Soon, Wei Zongyuan led his followers to Wine Peak and found Yang Xiaotian.
Wei Zongyuan, dressed in a dark blue robe, stood before Yang Xiaotian, his robe billowing without any wind, “Yang Xiaotian, right? The students of Celestial Burial Academy say you’ve concealed your combat strength in the talent test, claiming your talent is six thousand. Do you dare to compete with me in another talent test?”
“Not interested,” Yang Xiaotian replied without a second thought, and continued drinking.
He would rather practice than waste his time on such trifles.
Wei Zongyuan had not expected Yang Xiaotian to reject him so flatly, and he clenched his fists tightly.
This was the second time Yang Xiaotian had refused him.
“`
The first time, it was his subordinates who looked for him, bearing the Sword God Command. Yang Xiaotian had refused the Sword God Command.
This time, he had come in person only to be directly refused!
It was the first time Wei Zongyuan had been refused when he spoke personally.
He stopped his furiously enraged subordinates and stared coldly at Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, do you not dare?”
“Not dare?” Yang Xiaotian glanced at Wei Zongyuan and said indifferently, “I’m just not interested, that’s all.”
Liang Lin couldn’t help but say angrily, “Yang Xiaotian, do you think our young master is interested in competing with you? Now in the Celestial Burial Academy, there are rumors saying your talent surpasses that of our young master. It must have been you who deliberately had these rumors spread, right?”
“What, you’re feeling guilty now?”
Wei Zongyuan stared at Yang Xiaotian, “If my talent is lower than yours, I will give you seven sacred elixirs. If your talent is lower than mine, you will hand over the seven sacred Buddha elixirs from the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron!”
Clearly, Wei Zongyuan also coveted the seven sacred Buddha elixirs in Yang Xiaotian’s possession.
“Seven sacred elixirs?” Yang Xiaotian put down his wine cup.
If he could obtain another seven sacred elixirs, Old Meng and Old Bing’s strength could greatly increase, and perhaps they would soon break through to the second tier of Divine Spirit.
“Indeed, seven sacred elixirs,” Wei Zongyuan’s hand flashed and seven sacred elixirs appeared.
As the seven sacred elixirs appeared, a fragrance spread, overshadowing the scent of wine from Wine Peak.
It seemed that Wei Zongyuan had also encountered some great fortune, otherwise, he wouldn’t possess so many sacred elixirs.
Yang Xiaotian stood up, stretched, and with seven sacred elixirs at stake, it was an opportunity too good to miss.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan flew towards the talent testing stele.
The news spread, and students from the Celestial Burial Academy surged towards the talent testing stele from all directions in a frenzy.
Before Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan had even arrived, the area around the stele was already packed like a sea of people.
Upon hearing the news, Mu Yunchun also rushed over from Peach Blossom Peak, fearing she would miss an exciting scene.
Lately, the whole Celestial Burial Academy was abuzz with the claim that Yang Xiaotian’s talent reached six thousand, and she too was very curious whether Yang Xiaotian’s talent truly was six thousand.
As soon as Little Medicine King and Long Batian heard that Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan were going to test their talents, they too hurried over.
“Yang Xiaotian’s talent couldn’t really be six thousand, could it?” Phoenix Lady said.
Hearing this, Long Batian shook his head with a smile, “It’s just a rumor deliberately spread by He Zhen, do you really believe that Yang Xiaotian’s talent reaches six thousand? Let me tell you the truth, Wei Zongyuan’s real talent is far higher than when he was tested.”
Little Medicine King and Phoenix Lady were astonished, “You mean to say that Wei Zongyuan also concealed his battle power when his talent was tested back then? His real talent is much more than just five thousand one hundred thirty-two?”
Back then, Wei Zongyuan’s talent was recorded as five thousand one hundred thirty-two, which was already shockingly astounding. If his real talent far exceeded that, it would be utterly terrifying.
“So, Yang Xiaotian is bound to lose?” Phoenix Lady remarked.
Long Batian did not speak, implicitly agreeing.
Just as Little Medicine King and Long Batian arrived at the stele, Yang Xiaotian, Wei Zongyuan, and Wei Zongyuan’s subordinates also reached the stele.
All the spectators voluntarily cleared a path.
Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan walked up to the stele.
“Yang Xiaotian, will you go first, or shall I?” Wei Zongyuan asked.
“You go ahead,” Yang Xiaotian stepped to one side.
Wei Zongyuan took another step closer to the stele and said indifferently, “Yang Xiaotian, do you really think that the talent I showed during my test was my true talent?”
As Wei Zongyuan spoke these words, those present could not help but be astonished.
“Today, I will let you see just how formidable my real talent is!” Having said this, Wei Zongyuan’s True Yuan began to circulate, and a powerful aura swept across Heaven and Earth.
“Open your eyes wide and see clearly!”
