Lu Yusheng and the seven youths stared blankly at the words in the sky. They knew that Fang Zhengzhi had to be in the Heavenly Reflection State to explain this. However, they could not believe it.
"He... is really in the Heavenly Reflection State?!"
"How can Fang Zhengzhi be in the Heavenly Reflection State?"
"He is only 15 years old. If I remember correctly, he is the second person other than Chi Guyan to reach the Heavenly Reflection State before the age of 15..."
The seven youths looked at each other. They knew what this meant. Then, they thought back to the scene at the banquet yesterday, the two year promise between Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan.
What if Fang Zhengzhi suddenly reached the Heavenly Reflection State?!
In that case, was this agreement still as hopeless as before?
Lu Yusheng and the seven youths suddenly had a thought. In the past, everyone believed that Fang Zhengzhi could not defeat Chi Guyan.
But now...
At the very least, they no longer dared to be as sure as they were before.
Because, there was a huge gap between the Star Conglomerate State and the Heavenly Reflection State. Who knew how many young scholars were stuck at this door, unable to break through in their entire lives.
But...
Once he successfully broke through, he would be able to advance from the initial stage of the Heavenly Reflection State to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Reflection State. In two years, he would have at least a twenty percent chance of advancing from the initial stage to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Reflection State!
Of course, no one believed that Fang Zhengzhi could defeat Chi Guyan in two years. After all, Chi Guyan had the "Xuan Heavenly Dao Body". She had special abilities. Even if they were both at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Reflection State, Chi Guyan could easily defeat her opponent.
However, this battle was no longer as hopeless as before.
Even if it was just a sliver of hope...
It was still hope!
"Right now, you have two choices. One is to die, the other is to live. Which one do you choose? "Fang Zhengzhi spoke at this moment, interrupting the thoughts of Lu Yusheng and the seven youths.
"Of course we choose to live!" One of the youths shouted out. As the disciples of a prestigious family, they had been pampered since they were young. They had never been on the battlefield before, so they did not feel the effects of blood.
As such, they had a natural fear of death.
"But you people have been chasing us ever since the Spring Garden. You should pay a price right? "Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lu Yusheng and the seven youths with interest.
"Price? What price? "
"I want to rob you!" Fang Zhengzhi said calmly.
"Robbery?!"
Lu Yusheng and the seven youths were stunned when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's words. They had thought of many possibilities, but they never expected Fang Zhengzhi to just want to rob them.
What price could be lighter than robbery?
As long as he could live …
Money was just a worldly possession!
"Absolutely! Young Master Fang is such a good person, I can give you all the money I have on me! "
"I don't have a lot of silver on me, but I can give you my weapon and this headdress. Don't look down on it. This pearl is a deep sea pearl! "
"Young Master Fang, this bracelet of mine is very good. After wearing it, it will allow one to smell a faint fragrance while reading. It will help one to concentrate!"
One by one, the youths immediately handed over all the valuables they had on them. They were extremely obedient and were extremely grateful to Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi smirked.
He liked it when people thanked him after he robbed them!
"Then, what about Young Master Lu?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lu Yusheng.
"You really won't kill me?" Lu Yusheng could not believe it himself. Just as he had said, in the parallel dimension. Fang Zhengzhi had a hundred ways to explain his death.
"I didn't say that, I only said to rob you first. If you don't have anything valuable on you, then …"
"I … I do!" Lu Yusheng gritted his teeth. He took out a small box made of purple gold and opened it. Immediately, a rich fragrance wafted out from the box.
"The Hundred Battle Pill of the Battle Constabulary!" Yan Xiu was slightly shocked when he saw the pill in the box.
Fang Zhengzhi had initially thought that a broken box was nothing special. However, Yan Xiu's eyes were extremely sharp. When the youths took out their items, When the youths took out their items, his expression didn't even change.
But when Lu Yusheng took out this box of Hundred Battle Pills, he spoke.
What did this mean?
This box of Hundred Battle Pills was good stuff!
Who cares what use it has, I'll take it first.
Fang Zhengzhi snatched the purple gold box and stuffed it into his robes.
"There are three pills in the box, I've had them for so many years … please leave one for me …" Lu Yusheng looked at the box that Fang Zhengzhi snatched and reached out with difficulty.
"Go go go, if you continue to nag, I'll kill you first before robbing you!" Fang Zhengzhi snorted coldly.
Lu Yusheng instantly shut up. However, his expression was extremely pained, as if he had suffered a huge blow.
…
After everyone had robbed once, Fang Zhengzhi finally spoke again.
"The few of you, strip him and tie him to... that pillar!" Fang Zhengzhi pointed at Lu Yusheng, then pointed at an icicle that was at least a metre thick not too far away.
When the seven youths heard this, their originally relaxed hearts tensed up once again. They wanted to resist, but now that their lives were in the hands of someone else, staying alive was more important.
As such, after hesitating for a moment, the seven youths finally began to move.
"If you can't strip him naked, I will strip all of you first!" Fang Zhengzhi said calmly as he looked at the seven youths cowering in fear.
In the blink of an eye, the seven youths had turned from obedient lambs into ferocious wolves.
Four youths each grabbed Lu Yusheng's arms and legs. The other three began to tear him apart. Their actions were so rough that no one dared to look at them directly.
All they could hear was the sound of sizzling. Evidently, they didn't even need to strip him. It was all ripping.
"You …" Lu Yusheng wanted to struggle, but he was afraid that Fang Zhengzhi had other ideas. As such, he could only cry and bear with it.
When Lu Yusheng was completely stripped, the seven youths used the torn cloth as ropes and tied him tightly to the ice pillar.
Lu Yusheng gritted his teeth throughout the entire process. When his body was tightly attached to the ice pillar, he finally began to moan.
Because …
That feeling of coldness was too stimulating.
"Now it's your turn!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lu Yusheng, then turned to look at the seven youths.
"Young Master Fang, didn't you say we were only going to tie one person?" One of the youths was so shocked that he took a step back.
"Did I say that?"
"..." The seven youths looked at each other. After some thought, they realized that Fang Zhengzhi did not say that.
"Do you want to strip yourselves, or do you want me to help you?"
"We will do it ourselves!"
Soon enough, the seven young men stripped themselves clean. Then, they 'helped' each other to tie their bodies to the icicles with their clothes.
Not long after, the seven youths also let out a series of humming sounds …
…
When Lu Yusheng and the seven youths were all hugging the ice pillars and moaning, Yan Xiu finally spoke.
"Actually, I knew that you would definitely reach the Heavenly Reflection State, but I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Yan Xiu's tone was filled with surprise. As a friend, he was naturally happy for Fang Zhengzhi.
"Fast? I don't think so. "Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Not fast?" Yan Xiu was confused.
"If you were already in the Conglomerate Star State when you were eight, would you still think it was fast?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu calmly.
"Conglomerate Star State when I was eight. I am 16 this year. That means I had eight years in between, naturally … hang on, you mean you were in the Conglomerate Star State when you were eight?!" Yan Xiu was about to reply when he thought of something.
Yan Xiu was not the only one who thought of something. Even Lu Yusheng and the seven youths thought of something.
"Conglomerate Star State at eight?!"
"Hmph, how is that possible?"
"Based on what I know, even though Chi Guyan accessed Dao at four, she was in the Conglomerate Star State when she was eight! He said he was in the Conglomerate Star State when he was eight? Is he lying?! "
Lu Yusheng and the seven youths were in disbelief. If Fang Zhengzhi was in the Conglomerate Star State at eight, why did he only reach the Heavenly Reflection State now?
When they thought of this, they felt that something was amiss …
Because, no matter what, Fang Zhengzhi was already in the Heavenly Reflection State at 15!
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu's shocked expression and sighed exasperatedly, "Aish … Conglomerate Star State at eight, but waited seven years to reach the Heavenly Reflection State. How embarrassing!"
"Conglomerate Star State at eight, Heavenly Reflection State after seven years, embarrassing?!"
"This is embarrassing …"
Lu Yusheng and the seven youths, who were tied to the icicles and enjoying the cold, felt as if they had swallowed a fly when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's sigh.
Even though they felt the icicles on their skin, their faces were still flushed.
Can you not do this? Can't you leave us a way out? Yes, you were in the Conglomerate Star State at eight, then waited seven years to reach the Heavenly Reflection State, how embarrassing!
Then …
Who do we think we are?
What are the geniuses in the entire Great Xia Dynasty?
Conglomerate Star State at eight.
Heavenly Reflection State at 15.
You're actually sighing here and feeling depressed here. Can you not be so low-key here? "
Lu Yusheng and the seven youths all had the same thought. They would rather Fang Zhengzhi laugh and shout, "I am a genius, I am a demon" than hear him shout.
"Aish … I was in the Conglomerate Star State at eight, waited seven years to reach the Heavenly Reflection State, how embarrassing!"
