"Look, that's Du Feng."
"Is he going to challenge Guigu Nansheng?"
Coincidentally, a few of them were also injured at the third level of the Essence Energy Tower. They looked up and saw Du Feng. They didn't know that Du Feng came with Tang Jiaojiao and thought he was here specifically to challenge Guigu Nansheng. There were rumors that Du Feng would represent the Seven Basaltic Mansions to defeat Guigu Nansheng.
Guigu Nansheng was really strange. From the first floor to the third floor, he had never lost a challenge. He had never been challenged three times and never lost. He was already on the third floor. Did he have to break through to the Powang realm and continue to show off on the fourth floor?
During this time, the Pavilion Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion had been worrying about this matter. If he wasn't busy fighting against the demonic beast invasion at the southernmost border, he would probably still be worried about this matter. As the leader of the younger generation of the hidden family, Guigu Nansheng could be said to be domineering in the Vitality Tower. He made full use of the rules in the Seven Basaltic Mansions. No one would attack him if he didn't go outside. If he wanted to fight in the Vitality Tower, he had to issue a formal challenge.
Basically, he would take the initiative to challenge once a month and then be challenged three times. After four consecutive victories, he would occupy a cultivation room for a whole month. He didn't lack money, combat skills, elixirs, weapons, and other resources. Therefore, he didn't do the tasks issued by the Martial Arts Pavilion and occupied the cultivation room every day, which was equivalent to using the resources of the Seven Basaltic Mansions for nothing.
Previously, the Pavilion Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion arranged for several students to challenge Guigu Nansheng, but he defeated all of them. If it weren't for Auntie Hong of Hundred Herb Hall, those people wouldn't just be defeated. They would probably be attacked by the demonic poison and their Cultivation would be crippled. Even with the support of the Pavilion Master and Auntie Hong, there were fewer and fewer students willing to challenge Guigu Nansheng.
In the beginning, everyone took the initiative to challenge Guigu Nansheng in order to earn a reputation. Later, for the benefits given by the Pavilion Master, they braced themselves to challenge him. Later on, even if there were benefits, very few people were willing to take the risk. Because if they lost, not only would they lose face, but they would also delay their Cultivation. Why bother looking for excitement?
It wasn't that there weren't any experts in the Seven Basaltic Mansions. For example, that He Feihong was an absolute expert in the Heaven Seizing Realm. However, he was very cunning and wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of. Furthermore, there was no need to offend someone from a hidden clan just to show off in front of the Pavilion Elder. To put it bluntly, the He family was also a big family. They wanted to be on good terms with the Guigu family, so how could they offend them?
In the vast Seven Basaltic Mansions, there was no disciple who was willing to stand up for this matter. Tang Jiaojiao's aptitude was not bad, and the combat skills she cultivated were also very high level. However, the Martial Scripture Pavilion Master knew very well that his precious granddaughter was no match for Gui Gu Nansheng. According to the rules of the Martial House, although one could not kill someone within the Origin Energy Tower, one could still cripple their opponent. He wasn't willing to let Tang Jiaojiao take the risk. It would be troublesome if she was crippled.
Now that Du Feng had returned, and his Cultivation had advanced to the eighth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm. Although the Pavilion Master of the Martial Scripture Pavilion was not present, Cang Jingsong had already conveyed the Pavilion Elder's intentions to Du Feng. As long as he defeated Gui Gu Nansheng, the rewards given by the Martial Scripture Pavilion would definitely exceed his imagination. It would be even higher than completing those risky missions.
"Look, he's going to Cultivation Room 75."
"Yeah, he's definitely going to challenge Gui Gu Nansheng. Let's just wait and watch the show."
This kind of thing spread like wildfire, and many people came to watch the show. Some of them were originally cultivating on the third floor of the tower, but they hadn't come during this period of time. When they heard that Du Feng was going to challenge Gui Gu Nansheng, they hurriedly ran over to watch the show. There were also some students who were originally cultivating on the second floor of the Origin Energy Tower and hadn't entered the third floor yet. However, in order to see this great battle, they braced themselves and came up. One had to know that once one came to the third floor, they couldn't return to the second floor.
"Do you think Du Feng can win?"
"I don't think so. His Cultivation isn't enough."
Everyone was guessing whether or not Du Feng could defeat Gui Gu Nansheng. Most people did not think highly of him. After all, Gui Gu Nansheng was one of the best among the young generation of the hidden aristocratic families, and his Cultivation had already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm. During this period of time, he had used the Origin Energy Tower's cultivation room in the Seven Basaltic Mansions to improve quite a bit.
Du Feng was only at the fourth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm in Cultivation before. Even though he had advanced to the eighth level now, it was still not as high as Gui Gu Nansheng's Cultivation. Moreover, his advancement to the fourth level was somewhat baffling. Many people felt that his foundation would be unstable.
"Let me say, you're all here. Didn't you see who he came with just now?"
One of the baby-faced warriors looked at the people who were joining in on the fun with a gaze that seemed to care for a fool.
"Who? Who do you think it is?"
"That's right, what's so great about him?"
The baby-faced warrior's name was Duan Lei, and he could be considered an expert in the Heaven Seizing Realm. If it wasn't for his family repeatedly instructing him not to make a move, he actually wanted to challenge Gui Gu Nansheng and give it a try. It was a pity that for disciples of families like them, what they wanted to do was not something that they could decide by themselves. His opinion was different from others. He felt that Du Feng would definitely win this time.
"I said that you guys are still unconvinced. This time, the one accompanying Du Feng is our Young Miss Tang Jiaojiao."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd booed. This student called Du Feng sure had a lot of face. He was actually accompanied by Tang Jiaojiao. Who was Tang Jiaojiao? She was the granddaughter of the Martial Arts Pavilion's Pavilion Master. He could casually learn all kinds of high-end battle skills and even raise a Divine Beast level Spirit Pet. His entire body was covered in high-grade stuff, and he was about to be pampered to the heavens. It could be said that he was too arrogant and looked down on everyone. He was actually able to accompany Du Feng to cultivate in the Origin Energy Tower.
"Are you serious? Don't lie to us."
Although Duan Lei's reputation was not small, there were still many people who did not believe his words. There were many young masters of aristocratic families who came to the Seven Basaltic Mansions to cultivate, but they had never seen Tang Jiaojiao put any of them in her eyes. Even the young master of a hidden family like Gui Gu Nansheng was unable to move the young miss's heart. What kind of thing was Du Feng? If he had a strong background, it would have spread a long time ago. Since it didn't spread, it meant that his background was ordinary.
"Why would I lie to you? Just now, the young miss wanted to let him use the second cultivation room."
Why did Duan Lei know so clearly? Because he had been cultivating in the second cultivation room before. If it wasn't for Du Feng rejecting Tang Jiaojiao's good intentions, he would have to give up the cultivation room. In any case, he didn't have many days left, so he might as well come out of the cultivation room and see just who this Du Feng was and what he wanted to do.
