The only remaining disciple of the Jade Spirit Peak, Gu Fei, had defeated the outstanding disciple of the Shaoyang Peak, Li Hao. Almost everyone's eyeballs almost fell to the ground, especially the younger generation disciples of the Nine Supreme Mystery Meridians. They couldn't believe their eyes.
Many people knew that just a year ago, Gu Fei was bullied by the disciple of the Tongtian Peak, Wang Yuanzhi, without the slightest ability to fight back.
Now, Gu Fei seemed to have been reborn and easily defeated Li Hao. This result was difficult for the disciples of the Shaoyang Peak to accept.
Of course, among the younger generation disciples, there were still a few people who knew of Gu Fei's strength. Zi Yu was not surprised that Gu Fei could win.
As for Dongfang Chen, he had already listed Gu Fei as one of his strong opponents. Even if he were to face Li Hao of the Shaoyang Peak, he would not be able to win so easily.
"Congratulations on your victory, Senior Brother!" Zhao Zirou had been paying close attention to the battle between Gu Fei and Li Hao. Gu Fei had defeated Li Hao, which surprised her greatly. After Gu Fei jumped down from the arena, she went up to greet him.
"It's just luck!" Gu Fei said indifferently. Although he said so, his eyes were filled with confidence. He thought, "Is a cultivator at the peak of the Sixth Heaven only so-so?!"
"Senior Brother Dongfang, look …" In a corner of the square, Wang Yuanzhi and Dongfang Chen stood together, coldly looking at Gu Fei and Zhao Zirou. Wang Yuanzhi said fiercely.
Dongfang Chen snorted coldly, looking at Gu Fei with incomparably cold eyes. He was also a little surprised that Gu Fei had defeated Li Hao, but it was more fun this way. He wanted to personally end Gu Fei's footsteps.
"Li Hao is really trash. He actually lost to Gu Fei." Wang Yuanzhi was filled with hatred. He couldn't wait for Li Hao to teach Gu Fei a lesson.
"Enough, your own cultivation can't compare to that Li Hao. If he's trash, then what are you?" Hearing this, Dongfang Chen couldn't help but frown and impatiently say. If the Wang Family and the Dongfang Family did not have such a friendship, Dongfang Chen would not stand up for Wang Yuanzhi and provoke people like Gu Fei.
"This Gu Fei is definitely not simple. If he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger before, then this person is really scary." Dongfang Chen said indifferently.
"Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? That's impossible. " Wang Yuanzhi said in surprise. He knew about Gu Fei. A year ago, he, Wang Yuanzhi, could easily play with Gu Fei in the palm of his hand.
"En!" Dongfang Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "If that's not the case, then something that we don't know happened to Gu Fei, and these things are enough to greatly increase his cultivation."
It was not a coincidence that Dongfang Chen was able to become the eldest disciple of the sect leader, Li Lingfeng, and sit firmly in the second position of the younger generation of the nine branches of the Supreme Mystery Sect. According to the information revealed by Wang Yuanzhi, he guessed the situation of Gu Fei.
"You mean a fortuitous encounter? Gu Fei got lucky? " If Wang Yuanzhi still didn't understand what Dongfang Chen was referring to, then he was the number one fool in the world.
"You send someone to carefully check what Gu Fei has done and where he has been in the past year." Dongfang Chen vaguely guessed something and ordered Wang Yuanzhi.
"Yes, Brother Dongfang!" Wang Yuanzhi quickly responded. The current Wang Yuanzhi, as long as it was something that was not good for Gu Fei, he was willing to do it, and he would do it.
With that, Wang Yuanzhi turned around and left to contact the so-called friends he had made in the Supreme Mystery Sect.
This was the advantage of being a disciple of an aristocratic family. He had a wide network and many friends. Even if he was a playboy, there was absolutely no lack of scoundrels around him.
Because behind the disciples of aristocratic families, there was the power of the family as a backer. What some people really valued was not Wang Yuanzhi, but the Wang family behind him.
Just like Dongfang Chen, he had always disapproved of Wang Yuanzhi's actions and did not want to have too much interaction with people like Wang Yuanzhi. However, the Wang family and the Dongfang family in the cultivation world of the State of Qi were inextricably linked. In this way, even if he, Dongfang Chen, hated Wang Yuanzhi, he had to stand up for him.
At this time, Gu Fei, who was talking to Zhao Zirou, suddenly seemed to feel something and turned his head to look at Dongfang Chen. Their eyes collided in an instant, and sparks flew.
Both of them could see the strong hostility in each other's eyes.
"Humph! Dongfang Chen, you standing up for Wang Yuanzhi is the most stupid thing to do. "Gu Fei's pupils contracted, and a cold light burst out from his eyes.
"Gu Fei, don't be too proud. I will step on you in the arena." A cold smile appeared on Dongfang Chen's face. In the face of Gu Fei's sharp eyes, he was unmoved.
The two of them were separated by at least forty to fifty meters. Without saying anything, the two of them could see what the other wanted to express in the other's eyes.
All of a sudden, in the hearts of Dongfang Chen and Gu Fei, a feeling of heroes cherishing heroes, a feeling of heroes cherishing heroes, a feeling of heroes cherishing heroes.
"Senior Brother Gu!" Zhao Zirou followed Gu Fei's gaze and found Dongfang Chen. Her heart couldn't help but move. It seemed that there was something wrong with Dongfang Chen and Senior Brother Gu!
"Dang!" At this moment, a bell rang in the Supreme Mystery Temple. Gu Fei and Dongfang Chen withdrew their gazes at the same time. It turned out that the eighty-one young disciples who participated in the Nine Peaks Trials had finished their first match.
When the bell rang, the Xuanfa Daoist, who was sitting high on the steps, stood up and walked forward. The young disciples all walked toward the Xuanfa Daoist.
"The first match is now over. All disciples can temporarily disperse and rest for a while. The second match will be held in the afternoon." The Xuanfa Daoist looked around at the disciples below and said in a clear voice.
Then, Xuantian Daoist and the other heads of the six branches immediately stood up from their seats and walked into the Supreme Mystery Temple.
The first match of the Nine Peaks Trials was over. Some of the eighty-one outstanding disciples who participated in the competition were happy, while some were sad. The person who won the first round was naturally the one who was happy, but the person who lost the first round was definitely not happy.
In the first match, other than Gu Fei's unexpected victory over Shaoyang Peak's Li Hao, there didn't seem to be such a good thing happening in the other matches.
Without any suspense, Li Lingfeng, Zi Yu, and Dongfang Chen easily defeated their respective opponents and successfully advanced to the next round of the competition.
As for those who lost, they still had a chance to advance to the next round. In the second match in the afternoon, as long as they could win, they could also advance to the next round.
Only the disciples who lost in both matches would be completely eliminated.
After Zhao Zirou separated from Gu Fei, she returned to the group of Purple Bamboo Peak disciples. Gu Fei, on the other hand, sat cross-legged under a pine tree in a secluded area of the plaza, resting with his eyes closed.
In the second match in the afternoon, his opponent was Dongfang Chen. Facing an opponent like Dongfang Chen, Gu Fei didn't dare to be careless because he felt a lot of pressure from Dongfang Chen before.
The Biyun Peak definitely had a great treasure. If Dongfang Chen used a powerful treasure during the competition, like the Black Tortoise Seal of the Purple Bamboo Peak, it would be very difficult for him to win against Dongfang Chen.
This was the advantage of martial cultivators. Although their bodies were not as strong as martial artists, they had the help of treasures. With dao techniques and treasures, martial cultivators could display strength that exceeded their limits.
Therefore, if a martial cultivator had a suitable treasure in hand, their attack power would multiply. This was common knowledge in the world of cultivation.
Gu Fei sat under the pine tree. The blood, flesh, and bones in his body were slowly surging. The essence of the five elements was transformed from his flesh and blood and then gathered in his dantian, forming a five-colored ball of light. Then, the ball of light in his dantian dimmed and spread out waves of essence of the five elements into his muscles, bones, flesh, and blood.
This cycle continued without end. His body gradually emitted rhythmic explosions. Gu Fei's cultivation had already reached the level of Changing Marrow and Exchanging Blood. The new blood and Qi in his bone marrow were slowly replacing the original blood and Qi. The new blood and Qi contained a huge amount of essence. It flowed throughout his body and expelled impurities, causing his body to transform.
The skin that was exposed outside of Gu Fei's clothes flowed with an imperceptible luster. It was as if there were threads of light flowing under his skin.
To cultivate the body against the natural order, Gu Fei wanted to refine his body into a treasured body. Even though he was still miles away from a true treasured body, it could not be denied that his body was advancing in that direction.
In the distance, many disciples of the other eight factions were pointing at Gu Fei under the pine tree. They seemed to be discussing Gu Fei and the battle between Gu Fei and Li Hao just now.
The voices of those discussions drifted into Gu Fei's ears. These words were mostly negative and not praise for Gu Fei. However, whether they were good or bad, Gu Fei ignored them and did not care at all.
The words of others could not cause Gu Fei's mind to waver. They could not affect his state of mind at all. Only by maintaining one's original heart and not being disturbed by external things could one move forward bravely on the path of cultivation.
At this time, after the Xuanfa Daoist announced that the competition was temporarily suspended, temporary tents were quickly set up around the square for the disciples who were participating in the competition to rest.
The disciples who did not participate in the competition were not allowed to disturb the disciples who were resting in the tents.
In the first round of the competition, not everyone was like Gu Fei, Li Lingfeng, Dongfang Chen, Zi Yu, and the others, who defeated their opponents with overwhelming strength as soon as they entered the arena. Most people would only emerge victorious or defeated after a round of intense battles with their opponents.
The magic power that was consumed in the competition could not be recovered without a period of time to regulate one's Qi and regulate one's yuan qi, as well as breathing.
During this time, no one went to disturb Gu Fei. There were two reasons for this. One was that Gu Fei was no longer the same as before. The strength he had displayed made the few people who were hostile to him feel fear. The second reason was very simple. Today was a once in a decade event for the Taixuan Sect. No one dared to cause trouble in the square of the Supreme Mystery Hall.
In the square, there were too many eyes watching everything. If anyone wanted to cause trouble, they would not be able to escape the eyes of those who had the intention. Therefore, the square was very quiet. The disciples of the nine branches only dared to talk in low voices. They did not even dare to speak loudly.
After noon, it gradually moved to the west. Four hours later, there was another crisp sound of a bell in the Supreme Mystery Hall. Then, the head of the Supreme Mystery Sect, Xuantian Daoist, walked out of the Supreme Mystery Hall. Behind him were the seven heads of the Supreme Mystery Seven Branches.
Coming to the steps in front of the hall, Xuantian Daoist and the heads of the other six branches sat on the seats at the top of the steps. The Xuanfa Daoist, who was in charge of the Nine Branches Competition, walked straight up.
"The time has come. I now announce that the second round of the competition will now begin!" Although the voice of the Xuanfa Daoist was not very loud, it spread to every corner of the square. It even spread out of the Supreme Mystery Peak and lingered between the mountains.
"Hmm?" Gu Fei, who was sitting cross-legged under a pine tree at the side of the plaza, opened his eyes and stood up. Immediately, a series of crackling sounds erupted from his body.
