"You mean there's a secret method that could help you promote to an earth knight in a few years?"
"Of course, apart from me, no one else in the world can learn this secret technique, and no one else can use it!"
"What's that secret method?"
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter, "It's none of your business whether I have a secret method or not. No matter how powerful Taiyi Fantasy Sect is, how could you control me? I don't want to tell you about it. What could you do to me?"
Feng Yexiao sneered as if he had seen through everything, "Do you think secret methods that could help knights form their chakras rapidly and promote to higher levels are as common as cabbages? Do you think they are so easy to find? As the top 7 sects in Taixia Country, Taiyi Fantasy Sect has collected hundreds of millions of books, including various classics. Many classics are the only ones in far-ancient times. Even Xuanyuan Hill doesn't have them. Our sect gathers talents from across Taixia Country, including powerhouses and elites. Tens of thousands of white-haired knights, elders and erudite scholars are studying classics. I've stayed in Taiyi Fantasy Sect for so many years. Besides the Purgatory Samsara Method of Zhao Yuan the Alchemist Demon, I've not heard about any other secret method that could help people promote to higher levels in a few years. Besides Taiyi Fantasy Sect, the other sects in Taixia Country have not heard about such a secret method either. Do you think that you could get rid of the relationship between you and Zhao Yuan only by a few words? You're too naive! "
Zhang Tie became solemn inside, 'None of these high-level knights are easy to deal with. I've just promoted to an earth knight; however, Guan Qianchong and this old guy in front of me have already thought of the relationship between me and Zhao Yuan the Alchemist Demon. If not my trump card, I might not be able to pass this test.'
However, the more certain Feng Yexiao was, the happier Zhang Tie would be. Because in a split second, Zhang Tie had figured out a way to cheat this old guy — — how did Guan Qianchong fall into the trap at the beginning? Today, this old guy would fall into the trap once again.
'This old guy just delivers himself to me. '
Zhang Tie was thrilled inside; however, he still pretended to be indignant and disdainful. Unconsciously, he raised his voice so that everyone else could hear him clearly. "You're just a frog in a well. What a frog sees in a well is nothing different than what 1 million frogs see in a well. Hahahaha, Taiyi Fantasy Sect is just so-so..." Zhang Tie said as he felt a familiar qi coming to the outside of the tower of brilliance. 'I'm afraid that someone has already notified the mogul in the Lion Fortress the moment I confronted the elder of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Therefore, Zhang Tie became more reassured, "This old guy has something to do. I have a drink with my friends. If you want to squabble, go ahead. My time is very precious. Each second is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. I will not waste it. Given your age, I will not argue with you about that..."
As Zhang Tie said this, he directly walked outside.
"Do you think you can leave?" Feng Yexiao squinted his eyes like watching a praying mantis who wanted to block a carriage.
"How do you know that if I don't have a try?" Zhang Tie turned cold as he strode one step forward.
Feng Yexiao stretched out one hand in front of Zhang Tie like a mountain.
Zhang Tie's eyes turned cold as he directly collided with Feng Yexiao.
In the next second, the entire tower of brilliance rocked. Those knights who were watching a good show didn't see clearly what happened. All of a sudden, they felt the entire lobby turned dark while an extremely terrifying virtual image of a fire dragon appeared in the lobby with a powerful qi of an earth knight and covered everyone at present...
Being covered by the virtual image of a fire dragon, common black iron knights' hearts and livers quivered at this moment.
At this moment, the overwhelming qi between an earth knight and a black iron knight was completely revealed.
The fire dragon was roaring with a strong desire to fight. As it flapped its wings, its powerful battle qi spread in all directions...
The huge virtual image of a fire dragon filled the entire space of the tower of brilliance. There seemed to be two hot suns in the eyes of the fire dragon. The moment the fire dragon closed its eyes, the lobby would be in darkness. The moment the fire dragon opened its eyes, the entire lobby would be filled with a powerful battle qi that could tear everything apart.
The lobby was bright and dark rapidly while thunder-like booms sounded between Zhang Tie and Feng Yexiao. Most of the people at present didn't see their movements clearly before the battle came to an end...
The lobby recovered its normal light at once.
Compared to before, Zhang Tie moved a few steps back as his battle qi boiled all over. At the same time, the huge and powerful virtual image of a fire dragon which was hundreds of meters in length appeared above his head. The fire dragon was gazing at Feng Yexiao with a brutal qi and was going to dive down at Feng Yexiao as if it would charge at Feng Yexiao at any time...
Compared to before, careful knights found that Feng Yexiao of Taiyi Fantasy Sect had already moved one step back with a great dumbfounded look.
Behind Feng Yexiao, all the disciples of Taiyi Fantasy Sect had pulled out their weapons from their waists and pointed at Zhang Tie in a 3-in-1 battle formation.
There was one more person between Feng Yexiao and Zhang Tie, who looked gentle and whose qi was not weaker than that of Feng Yexiao; instead, it contained a bit more killing qi.
He was Guan Qianchong, the commander-in-chief of Black Armor Army.
Besides the two people who were fighting just now, none of the knights in the lobby discovered when Guan Qianchong entered. How could he stop the battle between Cui LI and Feng Yexiao?
"Brother Feng, don't you know the rules of the Lion Fortress? Why are you fighting with a junior here?" Guan Qianchong's tone was calm, but he seemed to be blaming Feng Yexiao.
Facing Guan Qianchong, Feng Yexiao revealed a fake smile; however, he still restrained his expression a bit, "This old man has just found a person who might be related to Alchemist Devil. In case that he escaped, I stopped him and wanted him to explain it to me."
"Who's related to the alchemist demon? Are you doubting Cui LI, Brother Feng? " Guan Qianchong pretended to be dumbfounded, "Why do you say that, Brother Feng? Cui LI has made outstanding military exploits by killing shadow demons in Tiewei Mountain. How could he be related to the alchemist demon?"
"If not being related to the alchemist demon, how could he promote to an earth knight in a few years? I suspect that Cui LI might be the apprentice of Zhao Yuan the alchemist demon!" Feng Yexiao revealed Zhang Tie's identity right away as he watched Zhang Tie.
'F * ck, he's right! '
Zhang Tie was also shocked by the fact that this old guy could reveal the truth casually. However, only Zhang Tie knew the truth. At this moment, even Zhao Yuan the alchemist demon might not be sure that Zhang Tie was his apprentice, not to mention the others.
Guan Qianchong turned around and blinked his eyes towards Cui LI for a short while. Of course, he looked solemn, "Cui LI, how do you explain Elder Feng's words?"
At the sight of Guan Qianchong's wink, Zhang Tie almost burst out into laughter, 'The others don't know about my ability; however, how could Guan Qianchong who has suffered a loss from me know how I could promote to a higher knight level rapidly? Guan Qianchong didn't explain it to Feng Yexiao; instead, he asked me to explain it to him. What a gamble!'
It seems that these senior generals of Taixia Country in the Lion Fortress have a bad opinion about Taiyi Fantasy Sect. 'It seems that Guan Qianchong wants to cheat Feng Yexiao, the old guy, through me.
Therefore, I don't need to be polite anymore. 'Zhang Tie felt thrilled inside; however, he pretended to explain what happened just now to Guan Qianchong with righteous indignation. Closely after that, he glared at Feng Yexiao, "There's no such rule in the world. If you suspect that Emperor Xuanyuan is a demon one day, will Emperor Xuanyuan hand the throne of Taixia Country to Taiyi Fantasy Sect and let a member of Taiyi Fantasy Sect take the throne?"
"The alchemist demon has a deep-seated hatred against Taiyi Fantasy Sect. He once killed the deputy head of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. It's of great significance. You could not explain it away with just a few words!" Feng Yexiao also gazed at Zhang Tie with a smile, "Even if you could avoid it today, you could not avoid it tomorrow!"
"Hahaha, what a bullying Taiyi Fantasy Sect..." Zhang Tie glared at Zhao Yuan the alchemist demon, "Didn't you say that there's no other secret method in the world that could help people promote to an earth knight rapidly besides Zhao Yuan the alchemist demon's magic? If you're sure about that, dare you have a bet with me?"
"How?" Feng Yexiao sneered as he didn't believe that Zhang Tie, a lone earth knight, could have any earth-shaking secret method. Taiyi Fantasy Sect had spent so many resources and manpower over the past hundreds of years. How could you, a common knight, have it? Do you really think that such a secret method is as common as cabbages? '
"Bet your life?" Zhang Tie said passionately, "If I could prove that there's another secret method besides Purgatory Samsara Method which could accelerate the speed of knights forming their chakras, I would win the bet. You should commit suicide in front of me and restore my innocence. If not, I will chop off my head and give it to you. Dare you have a bet with me? Dare Taiyi Fantasy Sect bet with me?" Zhang Tie's tone became a bit aggressive.
A shrewd light flashed across Feng Yexiao's eyes. Even though he was a bit hesitant inside, under the gaze of so many people, he couldn't retreat at this moment. Otherwise, Taiyi Fantasy Sect would become the laughingstock of the world and Feng Yexiao would become a villager who could only rely on his tongue. What happened in the Lion Fortress would be spread over the entire human country in a split second. Feng Yexiao couldn't afford this risk, neither could Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
At this moment, Feng Yexiao was more certain that Zhang Tie was just "stealing a chicken". In his eyes, such a petty trick was not worth mentioning at all.
"Why not?" Feng Yexiao promised right away.
"In this holy war, as knights of Taixia Country, you should share the same hatred with demons. One of you is an earth knight with abundant military exploits; the other has already promoted to a shadow knight and is going to be a heavenly knight. It's inappropriate for you to have a life-and-death battle in the Lion Fortress at this moment. Now that you want to have a bet, how about changing the bet?" Guan Qianchong opened his mouth as he threw a glance at Cui Li. At the same time, he told Zhang Tie secretly, "Brat, you've killed a shadow knight of Taiyi Fantasy Sect in the public. Don't you want to stay in Taixia Country anymore? Feng Yexiao's airboat is not bad in the Earth-elements Realm. There aren't too many similar airboats in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. How about betting with your airboat and your bounty land? "
Zhang Tie smirked, "Fine, I will do it for Commander Guan's sake. It's said that Elder Feng's airboat is not bad in the Earth-elements Realm. I will bet with my 10 cities and 600 miles' bounty land. Dare you bet with me on the airboat of Taiyi Fantasy Sect?"
Zhang Tie said as he took out of his reward certificate from his portable space-teleportation equipment.
"It's just an airboat. I will bet with you. Let's see what you've got!" Feng Yexiao sneered.
"Are you going to bet with me here?" Guan Qianchong opened his mouth. Superficially, he was asking Zhang Tie; actually, he was helping Zhang Tie.
"My secret method could not be easily exposed to others. If Feng Yexiao of Taiyi Fantasy Sect wants to bet with me, only he could see it. Commander Guan, you could help us find a room in the tower of brilliance and be the notary of this bet!" Zhang Tie said.
"Brother Feng, what do you think?" Guan Qianchong turned around and asked Feng Yexiao.
"Fine!" Feng Yexiao replied straightforwardly. No matter how many people were watching them, Feng Yexiao didn't believe that Cui LI could play any trick in front of him. He wanted to see how Cui LI would deal with it.
"Find a hidden cultivation room upstairs!" Guan Qianchong directly ordered a manager of the tower of brilliance in the distance.
Feng Yexiao also turned around and told those knights of Taiyi Fantasy Sect behind him, "Wait for a second in the lobby!"
Only after a few seconds, a manager of the Tower of Brilliance in the uniform of logistics personnel of the Lion Fortress walked over and gave a salute to Guan Qianchong. "Commander Guan, the room is ready!"
"Please!" Guan Qianchong told Zhang Tie and Feng Yexiao.
After exchanging a glance with each other, Zhang Tie and Feng Yexiao followed that logistics officer and Guan Qianchong out of the lobby silently and walked towards the stairs.
Not until Zhang Tie left did the silent lobby of the tower of brilliance burst into an uproar.
"Ahh, have you seen the fight between Cui LI and the elder of Taiyi Fantasy Sect?"
"That's too fast..."
"Brilliant, that's too brilliant. Cui LI from Yongzhou Province is really a hero who doesn't fear dignitaries..."
"What's Cui LI's virtual image? How could it be so powerful?"
"Fire dragon, that's immortal beast fire dragon..."
"Is there really a secret method that could match Purgatory Samsara Method?"
"We will know it after a short while."
All the knights in the lobby started to discuss it at once as if it had become a vegetable market.
The collision between an earth knight and a shadow knight in a few seconds and the subsequent bet could never be seen in normal times...
In the tower of brilliance, some knights even took out their remote-sensing communication crystals and called their partners to watch the fun.
...
Under the guidance of the manager of the tower of brilliance, Zhang Tie, Feng Yexiao and Guan Qianchong soon came to a hidden room above the lobby. That manager then left there, leaving only the three of them in the room.
Zhang Tie then grinned at Feng Yexiao, "Elder Feng, do you have water-element crystals?"
"What for?"
"Lend me a piece. I will show you the secret method that I can form my chakra rapidly. Use your crystal in case that you complain that my crystal has a problem and come here all over again, which would be a waste of time."
Feng Yexiao threw a glance at Zhang Tie, then at Guan Qianchong as he sneered and threw a high-quality water-element crystal to Zhang Tie at once.
Although Guan Qianchong had long known the result, he still looked solemn at this moment as if it was the first time for him to see Zhang Tie doing this. 'Being the great commander of Black Armor Army, Zhang Tie is really vicious and cunning. He doesn't even blink his eyes when tricking others.'
"Commander Guan, can we start?"
"Brother Feng, what do you think?"
"Let's start. I want to see what other tricks Cui LI has. Besides Purgatory Samsara Method, what other secret methods could help people form their chakra rapidly!"
Zhang Tie sighed inside as he took the water-element crystal, 'I'm afraid that I would not encounter such a good opportunity anymore.'
...
Over 1 hour later, more knights arrived at the lobby of the tower of brilliance.
When many people were guessing the result of the bet and discussing about it, Cui LI's tall figure and symbolic bald head walked downstairs with a burst of hearty laughter.
"Elder Feng, I will take the airboat of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. This old Cui has not taken an airboat before. Thank you so much!"
Cui LI walked downstairs in a high-spirited manner. After throwing a glance at those knights in the lobby, he directly walked out of there.
After a few seconds, Feng Yexiao walked downstairs behind Cui LI. At this moment, although Feng Yexiao looked calm, he looked pretty bad inside...
Needless to say, everybody knew the result.
'This Cui LI could defeat the elder of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and win the bet? '
Many people were astonished.
What was more shocking was the meaning of Cui LI's victory. Did it mean that Cui LI had mastered a secret method which could even match Purgatory Samsara Method?
On the same day, this news had been spread to all the major clans in Taixia Country, subcontinents and Western Continent which were far away from Taixia Country by all the knights in the Lion Fortress.
...
Cui LI from Yongzhou Province, this name aroused a complete shock in the Lion Fortress...
...
After 1 hour, Du Guyi the demon suppression general who was in the Lion Fortress also heard about this bet.
"Cui LI from Yongzhou Province... it's Cui LI again!"
"I've just known that when Cui LI and Mountain Lifting Hermit explored the hieron ruins a few years ago, they even killed demon knights on the way and saved some young men of our Feathers Army. Those young men all said that Cui LI was brave and fearless in battle. He killed demon knights like a mad demon slaughtering dogs!" The one who told the demon suppression general the news added.
"That's right!" The Demon Suppression General spat out two words.
Those who were familiar with the Devil-suppressing General knew that the Devil-suppressing General never praised people easily. If the Devil-suppressing General said that it was not bad, it was definitely not an ordinary affirmation. It meant that this person had already been marked in the Devil-suppressing General's heart.
