Ji Dong's gaze was completely focused on the Flaming Bar as he held the flask steadily with one hand. He didn't look at the flask as he began to shake the flask with his right hand naturally.
At this moment, he was different from how he was in the past. In the past, there was nothing else in his heart but the wine. At this moment, whether it was in his eyes or in his heart, there was only a raging flame. He shook the flask with his right hand, completely relying on his instincts. However, it was also at this moment that the emotions in his heart reached an unprecedented level.
In the transparent crystal flask, the liquor gradually blended into a bright red color. The magnificent color accompanied the flask as it danced in the air with dazzling curves. When Fury saw that Ji Dong was mixing drinks, he couldn't help but look over. When he realized that Ji Dong was only using one hand, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, his gaze quickly froze and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Is this even possible?"
The red liquor gradually formed in the air. Although he only used one hand, Ji Dong's movements became faster and faster. The crowd could only see the sparkling red color of the flask, but they couldn't see Ji Dong's arm anymore.
Suddenly, Ji Dong's eyes lit up, and his hand movements suddenly doubled. The sparkling red color actually formed in the air. It was no longer in the shape of a sun. This time, the sparkling red color actually formed a red heart in the air. Under the illumination of the Lapis Lazuli Palace Lantern, the red heart repeatedly contracted and expanded above Ji Dong's head, as though it was beating.
"Thump thump … thump thump … thump thump …"
The sound of a heartbeat could be heard. Every time the red heart flashed, contracted, and expanded, the powerful heartbeat could be heard in the ballroom. The people dancing on the dance floor could not help but look at Ji Dong's head. Lan Baoer covered her mouth with her hands. There was only one thought in her mind. How good would it be if the red heart was beating for her? She thought to herself, "It would be great."
However, only Lan Baoer and Ji Dong could see that the heartbeat was produced by Ji Dong tapping the wooden board at the bottom of the bar with the tip of his foot. However, it was so harmonious when paired with the sparkling and beating red heart. Just as Ji Dong had said, this was a type of drink that he had never mixed before. Even the mixing technique was something he had thought up on the spot. It was far less difficult than the Shooting Nine Suns and the Descent of the Nine Fairies that he had used before, but its significance was far greater than the technique.
The eyes of the Flaming Bar had already turned into crescent moons, and her face was filled with a gentle smile. Her hand also subconsciously tightened its grip on Ji Dong's hand.
At this moment, suddenly, a beam of yellow light quietly passed through, piercing the red heart above Ji Dong's head. With a crisp crack, the beating red heart shattered, and the red wine poured down, along with the ice shards that Lan Baoer had condensed, splattering all over Ji Dong's head and face.
Everyone was stunned, and they all turned to look in the direction of the yellow light. They could see Ji Yifeng's raised hand slowly falling.
Ji Yifeng's originally handsome face was slightly distorted, and his eyes were filled with jealousy, resentment, and many other emotions.
When Ye Xin left, he was completely dazed, attracted by Ji Dong's mixing skills. Looking at the Flaming Bar, who was many times more beautiful than Ye Xin, looking at Ji Dong with a smile, and thinking about the past between him and Ye Xin, the fire of jealousy in his heart rose to an extreme level, and he finally couldn't help but destroy the perfection in front of him.
That beam of yellow light was shot out by him.
"Bastard!" Fury shouted angrily, and rushed towards Ji Yifeng in one big stride.
At this moment, all the disciples of Yin Yang Hall were filled with righteous indignation, even those who were on good terms with Ji Yifeng. In their eyes, Ji Dong's mixing skills were as perfect as the Flaming Bar's. Seeing this perfection being destroyed by external forces, how could they not be indignant? Moreover, Ji Dong mixing drinks for the Flaming Bar had nothing to do with Ji Yifeng.
A huge mud wall appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly separated Ji Yifeng and Fury. Ji Yifeng's cold voice sounded, "Fury, don't forget, the academy doesn't prohibit challenges, but private fights are prohibited. If you dare to touch me, not only will you be in serious trouble, even Zhurong Director will have to face the consequences. I only broke a flask."
"Boom …" The mud wall that looked as thick as a meter suddenly shattered like a piece of paper in front of Fury. He said, "I don't care about the academy's rules. Ji Yifeng, I've been unhappy with you for a long time. Don't think that I won't dare to do anything to you just because you're the grandson of the Emperor of the Middle Upper Empire. At most, I'll kill you and leave the Heavenly Stem Academy."
In the air, the terrifying lightning energy condensed, and all the glass lanterns in the banquet hall began to flicker. Even though they weren't powered by electricity, they were still affected by the berserk lightning energy, and everyone present felt their bodies go numb.
"Senior Brother, stop!" At this moment, a deep and cold voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell suddenly rang out.
Fury had already released his lightning attribute Sun Crown, but he also stopped his actions when he heard this voice. Both he and Ji Yifeng looked towards the direction of the voice at the same time.
The bright red liquid made Ji Dong look extremely disheveled. At this moment, he had already let go of the Flaming Bar, because he didn't want the liquid on his body to flow down and stain the Flaming Bar.
If one were to say that his gaze was as hot as fire just a moment ago, then right now, his gaze was as cold as an ancient profound ice, filled with endless coldness.
"Ji Dong." The Flaming Bar called out to him softly.
Ji Dong turned around and forced a smile at the Flaming Bar. Then, he turned around resolutely and strode over to Hyōhime Yifeng.
The Flaming Bar was in a slight daze. She hadn't expected everything that had happened tonight. She hadn't expected that her arrival would make Ji Dong so excited. She hadn't expected that the dance under the starry sky would make her heart beat faster in excitement. She also hadn't expected that Ji Dong would use such a method to make fine wine.
When Ji Dong turned around resolutely and walked over to Hyōhime Yifeng, the Flaming Bar realized that she couldn't seem to control him anymore. Ever since the incident with the Vermillion Bird, Ji Dong didn't seem to be as obedient as a disciple. However, the more he was like this, the easier it was for her to be infected by Ji Dong's domineering masculinity.
"Little Junior Brother, don't worry. I won't let this guy off." Lightning shot out of the Thunder Emperor's eyes. Ji Yifeng had already sobered up when he saw his terrifying gaze. He couldn't help but feel remorseful.
He hadn't expected that his little junior brother would be so important to the Thunder Emperor. However, since he had already done it, there was no use in regretting it.
"Senior Brother, let me handle this myself." Ji Dong walked over to Fury and nodded at him.
Fury was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his eyes gradually faded. This was because he realized that there was a cold glint in Ji Dong's eyes. Even he shuddered a little. He thought to himself, "Little Junior Brother, what exactly do you want to do?"
Ji Dong turned around and looked at Hyōhime Yifeng. At this moment, Ji Yituo had already released his Yang Crown, five Crowns, and four Half Corona Stars due to the immense pressure he was under from the Thunder Emperor. He displayed his valiant strength as a Level-59 Fifth-Earth Martial Grandmaster. Although he was still far from Fury's Level-69 strength, he was the strongest among the students in the entire Yin Yang Hall apart from Fury.
Wiping away the wine on his face, Ji Dong said coldly, "Give me a reason."
Ji Yituo laughed coldly and said, "Do I need a reason? Is this considered a reason that I don't like you? Who do you think you are? What Level are you? Two Crowns or Three Crowns? How dare you imitate the Thunder Emperor? Why do all the good girls in the world have to be brothers with you? Ye Xin still refuses to be intimate with me. Isn't it because she has Fury in her heart? Who do you think you are? You've just joined the Yin Yang Hall, and you've already gained the favor of such a beautiful girl. Why? Tell me, what right do you have? "
Ji Dong didn't get angry. Instead, Hyōhime Yifeng nodded and said, "I'll tell you what right do I have!" As he spoke, he swung his right hand, and with a clang, the token with the number 'No.49' on it fell on the black marble floor. Then, he said resolutely, "No.49, Ji Dong of the Fire element, challenges you."
"Little Junior Brother, you can't." Fury panicked. He didn't expect Ji Dong to be so unyielding.
Ji Yifeng was also a little stunned and said, "You want to challenge me? No.49 is challenging No.2? "
Fury grabbed Ji Dong and said, "Little Junior Brother, quickly take back your token. This isn't a joke. He can't find a reason to deal with you."
Ji Dong turned to look at Fury and said calmly, "Senior Brother, it's true that I'm not strong enough, but someone insulted my lover right in front of me. If I don't respond, then wouldn't I be the same as him, a tortoise hiding in its shell? Don't stop me. Otherwise, we won't be brothers anymore. "
"You're calling me a tortoise?" Ji Yifeng's sore spot was trampled on. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling. In fact, everyone present had a scale in their hearts. At the beginning of the ball, Ji Yifeng retreated in the face of the pressure brought by Fury and let Ye Xin go. At this moment, Ji Dong was only in his teens, but he brazenly issued a challenge to Special 2 as Special 49. A simple comparison was enough to make many things clear.
"Good, good, good." Ji Yifeng bent down and picked up the token that Ji Dong had thrown. He said, "I accept your challenge. According to the Yin-Yang Hall's rules, if there's a difference of more than 10 places in the rankings, the challenge method, time, and place will be decided by the one with the lower ranking."
Ji Dong said coldly, "The place is here, and the time is now. The way of the battle is to attack each other, one person at a time. When you're attacked, you can't dodge. You can only defend. You'll take turns until one of you falls."
Ji Dong fully demonstrated to the students of the Yin-Yang Hall what was simple and brutal.
The challenge method he proposed was undoubtedly the simplest, and it was about to begin.
Everyone couldn't help but sweat for him. After all, there was a difference of 47 places between the two in the Yin-Yang Hall. Although they didn't know how strong Ji Dong was, there was a huge gap between him and Ji Yifeng. Moreover, the challenge method he chose was undoubtedly advantageous to Ji Yifeng. The Earth Element was best at defense and counterattack. Earth countered water and fire, so it suppressed Ji Dong to the point that he didn't stand a chance.
Ji Yifeng also took out a token and handed it to Fury along with Ji Dong's token. He said, "Fury, you're the First Seat of the Yin-Yang Hall. There's no teacher here, so please come and witness this challenge for us."
In the Yin-Yang Hall, even the school board couldn't stop a lower-ranking disciple from challenging a higher-ranking disciple. This was a rule that had lasted for hundreds of years, so it was useless for Fury to be anxious.
After receiving the token from Ji Yifeng, Fury said in a low voice, "If you don't want to die, then don't hurt my Little Junior Brother. Otherwise …"
The powerful pressure from the Thunder Monarch caused Ji Yifeng's hysterical emotions to calm down completely. To him, Ji Dong's challenge was an unfair victory. If he really hurt Ji Dong, the Thunder Monarch would probably not let him off.
"Ji Dong, come here." The Flaming Bar's voice rang out, and Ji Dong turned to look at her. He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
Arriving before the Flaming Bar, Ji Dong's eyes flickered with determination, and he said, "Flaming Bar, don't try to stop me. I know what I'm doing. No one can insult you, not even a god."
The Flaming Bar smiled. "Did I say that I'm going to stop you? If I really didn't want you to continue this battle, I wouldn't have used words to stop you. Listen to me … "As she spoke, she bent down and whispered something into Ji Dong's ear.
Hearing her words, Ji Dong was stunned for a moment. Then, he nodded slowly, and there was something else in the coldness in his eyes.
Very soon, the Flaming Bar finished speaking. Without waiting for Ji Dong to react, she said softly, "Do you know, Ji Dong? You're the first man to fight for me. I'll wait for you to come back and tell me the name of the wine you made earlier."
The coldness in Ji Dong's eyes turned into passion again. But what was different from before was that this time, the passion in his eyes was even more wild. He turned around and walked towards Hyōhime with his head held high.
At this moment, he was still a little hesitant. But since he had already agreed to the challenge, he had to continue. He couldn't afford to offend Fury. In the Holy Evil Battlefield, his life was at stake. Hyōhime made a gesture of invitation and said, "You can start first."
Ji Dong's eyes lit up. He slowly raised his hands from his sides. What did the Flaming Bar say to Ji Dong? This battle was a three-time champion challenging a five-time champion. What would happen? Would Ji Dong be able to wash away the humiliation and prove to the Flaming Bar that he had the power to protect her?
