The masked young man seemed to be startled by Ning Fan's action. His body swayed and retreated several zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from Ning Fan. His eyes were filled with a hint of displeasure.
"What do you mean?"
If it wasn't for the fact that the masked young man did not sense any hostility from Ning Fan, he would have thought that Ning Fan wanted to attack him. Inwardly, he was even more fearful of Ning Fan's ghost-like speed.
The changes in the area attracted the attention of many people. The examiner also showed a hint of displeasure, but because of Ning Fan's attire, he did not have the intention to intervene and chose to watch from the side.
"He's at the peak of the Discarnate Void stage, halfway into the Thought-Demolishing level. That mask conceals his cultivation base, so much so that when I first laid eyes on him, I couldn't see his true cultivation base. Compared to Xianyu Chun's previous cultivation, this cultivation was like a completely different person. Different cultivations meant different personalities and intellect. The only thing that could be confirmed was that this person was Xianyu Chun. All living things in the world had their own unique aura. It was like a thousand blooming flowers. No matter how similar their fragrance was, there would still be differences. I have been together with Xianyu Chun for such a long time. Even with the cow-horned mask, if I had the intention to look, I would definitely not have mistaken this aura … "
Ning Fan's eyes flickered with an undetectable green light. Gradually, he saw some clues from the masked young man's body and had some guesses. His expression became even more solemn.
Ning Fan was still unable to confirm these speculations. Seeing that there were so many onlookers and it seemed like a storm had already been stirred up, he could not help but feel a headache.
He had only come to sign up for the Blood Warrior Arena Ranking Tournament. He did not want to cause any trouble here.
"Don't worry. I don't have any evil intentions towards you. It's just that I'm acquainted with the other half of your soul. That's why I was a little surprised when I saw you here …" Ning Fan explained using telepathy.
The masked young man's gaze instantly turned cold as if his greatest secret had been touched, and he sent a voice transmission in a low voice. "What other half of the soul? What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
"It's fine if you don't understand."
Ning Fan gave the masked young man a deep look. Then, he turned around and walked to an empty place. He stopped talking to anyone and waited for the test to begin.
There were still more than a hundred people in front of him. Even if the content of the test was very simple and fast, it still took nearly four hours before it was Ning Fan's turn.
Among the more than 100 people, apart from the Three Heroes of the Sea Sorcerer and the masked young man, only one or two people had registered successfully. The rest did not even qualify to participate in the Blood Warrior Ranking Tournament.
The masked young man left after reporting his name. Facing the old man who was at the peak of Shedding Void Realm, the masked young man dealt with him very calmly and easily passed the test.
As for the three prodigies of the sea sorcerer clan, they were still lingering around the place, seemingly curious about Ning Fan's test.
The muscular old man in charge of assessing the applicants was an expert who ranked in the top 100 of the last Blood Martial Arena. He was known as Ancestor Kuang. This was a body cultivator. His body was ferocious to the point of exploding, and he revealed strength that was sufficient to move mountains and overturn seas. With a wave of his hand, even space warped.
When Ning Fan stepped forward to take the test, Old Ancestor Kuang merely gave him a sidelong glance and said with a proud tone. "I'll be frank with you first. Even if you are the tomb guardian of the Holy Mountain, I will not show any mercy. If you can withstand more than three of my punches, you can sign up for the Blood Martial Ranking Tournament. If you can't withstand my punches and end up getting injured, I won't be responsible even if the Holy Mountain investigates the matter!"
"Don't worry. I'm not the tomb guardian of the Holy Mountain." Ning Fan said with a faint smile.
"Oh, so you're an external cultivator."
Old Ancestor Kuang frowned. Then, he burst into laughter. When he faced Ning Fan, he no longer had any fear. Instead, he revealed his ferocity.
"Then, you better be careful. I hate external cultivators the most in my life. I certainly won't show you any mercy in this test! Take my punch! "
As soon as Old Ancestor Kuang stomped on the ground, he disappeared from his original spot in an instant. He did not even leave a trace of his afterimage. At the same time, Ning Fan felt a gust of wind coming from his left side. Of course, he did not know that Old Ancestor Kuang was attacking him from this side. His opponent wanted to get closer to him and forcefully attack him with his punches. This was a common tactic used by most body cultivators. Without saying a word, Ning Fan's body also swayed and disappeared from his original spot.
At the next moment, a loud explosion suddenly resounded from a place where there was no one around. The space became extremely distorted. Then, two figures appeared from the place where the collision occurred. They were none other than Old Ancestor Kuang and Ning Fan.
It was a collision between two fists!
Old Ancestor Kuang used his signature skill, the Devil Breaking Fist, to deliver a full-force attack! The massive shockwave that was set off directly caused many of the test-takers to sway from side to side, almost unable to stand steadily. Their expressions changed drastically.
Only then did the crowd realize that Old Ancestor Kuang did not use his true fist strength to test his strength at all during the test. After all, none of his previous punches could cause such a massive shockwave.
Even the three prodigies of the Sea Sorcerer Clan wore a solemn expression. If Old Ancestor Kuang had taken the test with such a serious attitude, they would definitely not be able to withstand the tenth punch of the Devil Breaking Fist. Moreover, the first punch that Old Ancestor Kuang threw out now already had the destructive power of the ten combined fists …
It was almost impossible for them to withstand it without the Broken Sense Technique!
Old Ancestor Kuang was full of confidence in the strength of his fist. His eyes were filled with bloodthirsty desire. He wanted to dye the ground of the arena red with the blood of this external cultivator!
He was confident that he could send Ning Fan flying with a single punch. However, the moment their fists collided, his expression changed drastically and was filled with shock!
Even though their fists collided, Old Ancestor Kuang had an illusion that what he hit was not Ning Fan's fist but an entire cultivation planet instead. The force of his punch was incomparably heavy!
The heaviness of the punch was still secondary. The force of the opponent's punch was even more bizarre. It was like a volcano erupting. It actually had a sudden eruption!
At the moment of contact, the bones in his fist and even his entire arm that collided with Ning Fan actually felt a sharp pain as if it was being crushed. He could not even withstand it for a moment. After being shaken by the tremendous force, he directly spurted out blood and was sent flying by Ning Fan's punch. His body was like a meteor. After a loud bang, he heavily smashed into the stone wall of the arena far away!
The crowd of cultivators was shocked!
The three prodigies of the Sea Sorcerer Clan were drenched in cold sweat. Perhaps even some Early Thought Fragmentation Realm old monsters would not be able to withstand the destructive power of that punch. They thought that if that punch landed on the three of them, it was highly possible that they would die in a single blow. It was unknown whether Old Ancestor Kuang was still alive or not …
* Rumble *
That section of the wall suddenly collapsed. Then, Old Ancestor Kuang walked out from the ruins with a calm expression.
* Hiss *
Everyone was shocked. Old Ancestor Kuang was actually able to survive such a terrifying punch. He really deserved to be an expert who was ranked in the top one hundred of the Blood Martial Arena!
"Young man, the strength of your punch is not bad. This is your identity token. Take it! Four days later, at a quarter past noon, go to the number one arena with this token and you can participate in the Blood Martial Ranking Battle. If you are late, you will be disqualified from participating in the battle. Remember not to be late. "
Old Ancestor Kuang laughed in a seemingly calm manner and tossed a ray of light to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan caught the ray of light in his hand. It was a green wooden token that was filled with lightning power. After keeping the wooden token, Ning Fan gave Old Ancestor Kuang a deep look before turning around and leaving.
"The registration ends today. Those who are not qualified to participate in the battle, if you still want to register, come again tomorrow!"
Old Ancestor Kuang impatiently chased all the participants out of the arena. Then, he closed the door and left the place, returning to his cave residence.
As soon as he returned to his cave residence, he could no longer hold on. He directly spurted out blood and fell to the ground.
"This man … is so strong …"
As a matter of fact, Ning Fan was also quite surprised that he managed to severely injure Old Ancestor Kuang with a single punch.
Admittedly, with his Ninth Nirvana Heavenly Devil Realm ancient devil cultivation base, it was a piece of cake for him to send a Peak She Kong Body Cultivator flying with a single punch. However, one should know that he did not use his full strength in that punch. He only used less than one-tenth of his strength.
Logically speaking, a Peak She Kong Body Cultivator with less than one-tenth of his strength should not have been able to be beaten up so badly. At most, he could only slightly suppress his opponent.
However, he did not expect that after comprehending the true essence of the ancient devil, the destructive power of his punch had increased significantly compared to before. Moreover, it was because he naturally used the method of exerting force of the Ancient Devil Mountain Breaking Strike. It was the only ancient devil divine ability that he had created himself so far. Its degree of profoundness was not to be underestimated. It caused the power contained in his punch to suddenly explode, resulting in a small critical strike!
Just such a small critical strike directly increased the true destructive power of his punch by more than one fold. That was why it was far beyond Ning Fan's expectation.
That was why Old Ancestor Kuang ended up in such a miserable state …
Fortunately, Ning Fan unexpectedly held back his strength at the last moment. Otherwise, Old Ancestor Kuang would probably be killed by one-tenth of Ning Fan's punch strength …
If that's really the case, I'm afraid that it would really cause an incident in this underground arena …
"It seems like the power of my newly created Ancient Devil Mountain Breaking Strike is still beyond my expectation. If I want to master it, I'm afraid I still need to practice hard …" Ning Fan thought to himself.
After the registration ended, Ning Fan did not stay in the arena for long. Instead, he chose to leave directly. However, just as he stepped into the teleportation formation, he suddenly sensed something and looked towards a certain direction.
Then, the formation light brought him back to the ground.
"He seems to have discovered me. Interesting … Is this person the external cultivator who defeated the Hundred Flowers Emperor's Dao Elephant head-on?" In the dark, a man who wore a green evil ghost mask and whose body was transparent smiled mysteriously. He was the real master behind the Blood Martial Arena.
"Master, you're right. According to the information I received, this person is the external cultivator who defeated the Hundred Flowers Emperor's Dao Elephant. However, that Hundred Flowers Emperor has been severely injured for a thousand years. Moreover, she's just an Immortal Emperor of the Middle Province. Her abilities are far weaker than the emperors of the Holy Mountain. It's not a big deal for this external cultivator to defeat her … "A few armored guards behind the illusory man answered.
"You guys have underestimated the Hundred Flowers Emperor. The waters of the Hundred Flowers Peak are very deep … That Bee Demon is unfathomable …" The illusory man touched a scar on his chest and frowned.
"Bee Demon? What Bee Demon … "Obviously, the armored guards did not know about it.
"These things are not something you guys can know. Even the five emperors of the Middle Province, the Three Hidden Emperors of Colored Glaze City and the nineteen emperors of the Holy Mountain are not qualified to know about it … That's one of the five great supreme beings of the entire Great Bei …"
"Five great supreme beings?" The armored guards were shocked. It was their first time hearing about the five great supreme beings of the Great Bei. However, at the next moment, the three of them were at a loss. All of a sudden, their memories about the five great supreme beings disappeared.
"Did Master say something just now?" The armored guards asked blankly.
"He said something that you guys shouldn't know … Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue talking about the information about that external cultivator. I'm very interested in him."
"Yes. I've also received a piece of news. That external cultivator has greatly angered Great Emperor Lou Tuo. Moreover, the head disciple of Lou Tuo has secretly spread the word that he's going to teach that young man a bloody lesson in the second round of the Mausoleum Seizing Battle … "
"Offended Lou Tuo? Interesting … "
"The spy that I've planted in the Heavenly Capital Peak has sent me a piece of top-secret information. It's said that this external cultivator had once seen the Great Perfection in the first round of the Mausoleum Seizing Battle."
"Oh? He saw the Great Perfection … "
The illusory man's expression suddenly turned serious. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and became silent.
"In the history of the Great Bei, there are only three people who could see the Great Perfection before the Immortal Emperor Realm. The Dead Emperor of the Sky Flame and the Light Emperor of the Holy Mountain … This young man is not bad. "
"Aren't there three of them? I wonder who the other one is?" It seemed like it was the first time that the armored guards had heard such a secret. They could not help but feel curious.
"The other one is an expert who once stole into the Holy Mausoleum. He used to be extremely arrogant and thought that he could go anywhere he wanted in the world. However, he was defeated by the five great supreme beings one after another. In order to fulfill his promise to one of the supreme beings, he has already vanished from the Great Bei Clan …"
"The five great supreme beings? What are the five great supreme beings? Does our Great Bei Clan have such a title? "The expressions of the armored guards were startled. Then, they became dazed and forgot about it.
"… Did Master say something just now?"
"Yes. He said something that you guys shouldn't know. Make some arrangements. I'm going to participate in the ranking battle four days later. Seven days later, I'm going to participate in the second round of the Mausoleum Seizing Battle. Arrange a suitable identity for me. I'm very interested in this external cultivator. Perhaps I can gain some insights from him and break through the last barrier before I reach the Quasi-Saint Realm. "
"Yes!"
…
Ning Fan naturally did not know that the illusory man was a ruthless person who was half a step into the Quasi-Saint Realm. However, he could also feel how powerful that person was.
Ning Fan could not help but admit that the Great Bei Clan had a deep foundation. There was an expert who was half a step into the Quasi-Saint Realm hiding under the Blood Martial Arena. In a mere Liuli City, there were actually no less than three powerful qi that were comparable to Immortal Emperors. In addition, there were the five emperors of the Middle State and the Immortal Emperors of the Holy Mountain. This Great Bei Clan was not an ordinary Eastern Sky force. It was definitely a super force like the Dark Race and the Southern Clan …
After all, it was the descendant of a Saint Realm.
What Ning Fan did not expect was that he would actually meet the somewhat strange Xianyu Chun in this Blood Martial Arena …
Could the strangeness of Xianyu Chun be related to the old man with the water vat that he mentioned before … But judging from his symptoms, the other party did not seem to have any evil intentions.
As soon as he returned to the ground, he secretly activated his spirit sense, trying to find out where Duo Lan was staying in the city. At the same time, he also looked for Old Wu to find out what this guy had been doing during the period of time when he was registering for the arena battles.
He found Duo Lan but Old Wu Ba seemed to have gone missing. He could not find him in the city.
Could it be that he was trapped in a certain place and could not be sensed?
Ning Fan frowned. Even though Old Wu Ba liked to stir up trouble, he always knew how to seek fortune and avoid calamity. He should not have provoked those existences that he could not afford to offend.
However, this Liuli City was after all a place where experts gathered. The qi concealment technique of the old monsters here was really profound. Even a Heavenly Being Realm cultivator like him had to spend a lot of effort to see through it … If Old Wu Ba really made a mistake and offended a powerful expert, it was not impossible for him to lose his whereabouts …
* Chi *
Suddenly, an illusory message-transmitting flying sword broke through the sky on the long street of Liuli City, startling countless passers-by.
That message-transmitting flying sword flew towards Ning Fan without any deviation. As soon as it exploded, a message went straight into Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness.
"Master, save me!"
Surprisingly, it was Old Wu Ba's message for help!
Ning Fan's eyes immediately darkened. This guy really caused trouble again. However, even with Old Wu Ba's strength, he could not escape from the other party and could only choose to ask for help. This was enough to show that the other party was not an ordinary person.
To care or not to care?
Ning Fan's thoughts turned and immediately had a plan. This Old Wu Ba was not a loyal person, but after all, he had karma with the Old Monster. Moreover, during this period of time, no matter what, he had always received a lot of benefits from Old Wu Ba. This Old Wu Ba was brought into the Great Inferiority by him, so naturally, he could not ignore it.
Moreover, Old Wu Ba had always left some leeway in doing things. He would not offend anyone to death. Most of the Great Inferiority Hermits were also people who did not like to kill. This matter might not necessarily have no room for a peaceful solution …
Having made up his mind, Ning Fan immediately activated the Rain Technique to the extreme. Suddenly, a curtain of rain fell on the sky of Liuli City.
It was all Ning Fan's pervasive rain sense!
"Hey, why is it raining out of nowhere!" The pedestrians on the long street suddenly dispersed because of the sudden drizzle.
I can't find him. I can't actually find him!
Ning Fan's heart sank. With the unpredictability of his rain sense, even if the place where Old Wu Ba was trapped was where an Immortal Emperor was, he should still be able to sense it. However, after searching the entire Liuli City, Ning Fan could not even find a trace of Old Wu Ba's qi. Obviously, the opponent's ability had exceeded his understanding!
Could it be that the opponent is actually a First Grade Quasi-Saint?
If the opponent really has the strength comparable to a Quasi-Saint, how could he give Old Wu Ba the chance to send out the Sound Transmitting Flying Sword to ask for help? Or perhaps, this person is deliberately luring me to go there?
If that's the case, even if I don't save Old Wu Ba, the opponent would have already targeted me.
"It seems like I have to meet this person. This person wants to see me but he concealed Old Wu Ba's qi, not giving me the possibility to investigate. Is he trying to test my ability … But if this is really a test, it doesn't seem like he has any evil intentions … "
"Or maybe, this is not a test but a guidance … If my Rain Technique can still find the opponent under the concealment of such a powerful expert, I'm afraid it will not be a small improvement …"
Ning Fan closed his eyes and stood quietly in the curtain of rain. His spirit sense swept through the entire Liuli City along with the drizzle.
I can't find him …
I still can't find him …
His comprehension of the Rain Technique had already become close to nature. It was no different from the natural rain.
What I need to improve is not the comprehension of the Rain Technique but … the control of my spirit sense …
Ning Fan seemed to have grasped the key point. When he was about to give it a try, he suddenly saw a lady holding an umbrella walking towards him.
She stood alone on the long street in the rain, holding the umbrella and looking at him with an indescribably complicated gaze.
"Cang Mang Die, do you need help?"
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn.
It was not only because of the lady's words.
It was also because … after the lady took off her veil, her appearance was extremely similar to Dugu's.
However … why is this lady's qi so similar to the secondary demon soul of the Hornet Demon Lord? It's as if she is the secondary demon soul of the Hornet Demon Lord!
What is going on …
"It seems like you don't know me anymore …"
You don't know me!
Ning Fan remembered that he had heard this sentence in the Scripture Depository Tower given to him by the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor.
In the Scripture Depository Tower, there was a stone door that he couldn't open. There was such a sentence that made him feel an indescribable sadness …
"Who are you? Are you the secondary demon soul of the Hornet Demon in the Hundred Flowers Great Emperor's Treasury or someone else?
Ning Fan frowned.
This lady's voice couldn't bring him the same soul-shaking sadness as the voice behind the stone door.
Although the two voices were similar to each other to a certain extent …
"I am Ah Feng, Ah Feng of the Xiu Fang. The little turtle you are looking for is in the Southern Medicine Temple outside the eastern city gate …"
The lady glanced at Ning Fan in a daze and left with the umbrella.
Ning Fan thoughtfully looked at the lady's back until he couldn't see her anymore. There was still an indescribable feeling lingering in his heart …
Who is this lady?!
However, this kind of thinking was quickly interrupted by some other noises.
In the rain, a few profligate young masters suddenly ran out from the dark after the lady left and blocked Ning Fan's way.
"Who are you?! You are wearing outer cultivator clothes. Could you be the tomb guardian of the Sacred Mountain?! But even if you are the tomb guardian of the Sacred Mountain, we will not give Ah Feng to you! "
"Ah Feng is mine! Whoever snatches it will die! "
"Nonsense! Ah Feng is mine!"
"Damn it! How dare you snatch Ah Feng from me? Didn't we agree to teach this brat a lesson?!"
"I will teach you a lesson first!"
"You dare to hit me? I will beat you to death!"
They were actually a group of admirers of Ah Feng in Liu Li City.
These people were envious of Ah Feng's flirting with Ning Fan and wanted to teach Ning Fan a lesson. However, an internal conflict broke out. Five or six of them started fighting each other because of a disagreement.
What a stupid conversation. It really had the style of a despicable person.
Ning Fan naturally couldn't be bothered with the farce in front of him. His figure flashed and directly walked past these profligate young masters.
His mind forcibly stopped thinking about the lady and put the matter of saving Elder Wu on the table first.
The one who trapped Elder Wu was most likely a Quasi-Saint.
That lady … doesn't seem to be simple …
Using the teleportation formation of a relay station on the street, Ning Fan was instantly teleported outside the eastern city gate.
This was a rural area. There were only two or three houses scattered here and there. Apart from that, there was also an extremely dilapidated temple with the words' Southern Medicine Temple 'written on the plaque.
The Southern Medicine Temple was located in a remote area. At this moment, there were only a few passersby who wanted to enter the city.
The moment Ning Fan approached the temple, a gust of chilly wind suddenly blew out from the temple. However, the passersby acted as if they didn't hear it and turned a blind eye to it.
The gate of the Southern Medicine Temple suddenly opened on its own.
There was also a slightly old-fashioned voice that spread out from within the temple.
"You only found this place because of that damned bee's guidance. It's not your own ability. Such a cheap trick has made you lose a great benefit from this old man. What a pity …"
"Senior wants to teach me the ultimate method of using spirit sense … Spirit Roaming Ten Thousand Li!" Ning Fan's eyes were filled with reminiscence.
He had accidentally used the Spirit Roaming Ten Thousand Li divine ability during the early days of his cultivation … However, he never had the chance to comprehend it.
Today seemed to be an opportunity.
As soon as Ning Fan's words came out, the old man inside the temple immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Obviously, he was surprised that Ning Fan was able to see through this point so easily.
