This was especially so for Feng Xu, who was ranked third on the Board of Potential God Kings of the Sky of Spirit Origin!
Even though Feng Jiuge had the potential to become a God King back then, the reason why he was valued by his clan was because of his potential, not his fighting prowess.
Feng Xu was already over six hundred years old, and he had already exhausted all of his potential. As such, he wasn't qualified to compete with Feng Jiuge back then. However, his fighting prowess was undeniable.
Just the fact that he was ranked third on the Board of Potential God Kings was enough to send countless people into despair.
"Are you afraid?"
Seeing through Feng Jiuge's worries, Zhang Xuan asked.
"No, it's just that … I'm not that confident!"
Feng Jiuge gritted his teeth.
As profound as what he had just learned was, he had only comprehended it two hours ago. Furthermore, he hadn't put it into practice yet, so he wasn't too sure if it was powerful or not.
If he were to be attacked by so many experts at once … he wouldn't even know how he died!
"As long as you execute the battle technique I have just imparted to you, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to break the formation," Zhang Xuan said.
"Yes!" Feng Jiuge nodded. Without any hesitation, he leaped forward and dashed toward the dueling ring.
As soon as he entered the dueling ring, the nine figures that he had seen earlier vanished in an instant. They were trapped in the formation, as if they had never existed in the first place. Feng Jiuge took a step forward, only to feel a chill behind him.
"Teacher said that if I were to turn around in such a situation, I would fall into the trap set up by the other party. If I were to charge forward, I would fall into their trap as well … The only way is to return to my original position and attack them at the same time …"
Without any hesitation, Feng Jiuge took a step back to where he had been standing previously.
It was extremely dangerous for him to take a step back after being attacked from behind. He could very well end up walking right into the spearhead of the other party's spear. However, there was no other choice at this point. As soon as Feng Jiuge's foot landed on the ground, he immediately kicked forward with his other foot.
Peng!
As soon as his foot landed on the ground, a deep groan sounded. It seemed like someone had been struck.
"This …"
Feng Jiuge's eyes lit up.
He had only intended to test the other party's strength, so he didn't harbor too much hope. After all, given that the other party was controlling the formation, the other party should be able to notice it in advance. Who could have thought that he would actually succeed?
"Teacher said that once I succeed, the people on both sides will definitely take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack in order to prevent me from chasing after them. And to prevent such a thing from happening, I don't need to dodge or evade too much. I just need to return to my original position …"
His teacher's words echoed in his mind again.
Previously, when he took a step forward, the spot where he was standing and the spot where he stepped out from weren't attacked. This meant that there were no enemies in those two spots. As long as he used it well, he could achieve unexpected results.
Retracting his body, Zhang Xuan returned to his original position. Immediately, he felt two forces brushing past him and colliding with each other.
"It really works …" Seeing that it was exactly as his teacher had predicted, Feng Jiu Ge nodded excitedly. Turning his body around, he kicked at a certain spot once more.
Bang!
Another muffled groan sounded. Before the other assailant could make a move, he was kicked in the chest.
After a few more moves, Feng Jiu Ge's previous fear vanished. His eyes gleamed as he charged toward the person who was attacking him.
…
Outside the arena.
Diagonally across from where Zhang Xuan stood, there were several old men standing on top of a pavilion that reached into the clouds.
"Not only has Feng Jiu Ge recovered his strength, he even wants to challenge the Nine Phoenix Grand Formation … This is truly beyond my expectations!"
A blue-bearded old man said.
He was the First Elder of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, Feng Danqing.
Back then, he had thought highly of Feng Jiu Ge. He thought that the latter would become a God King and raise the influence of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, but who could have thought that he would lose his life in a single trial?
Over the past two years, he had looked for quite a few people, but he was unable to resolve Feng Jiu Ge's condition. Left with no choice, he decided to give up on the matter. Who could have thought that the latter would return right after leaving the Inferno Phoenix Clan, and even challenge the trial?
What in the world had this once-talented genius eaten?
"I just found out that after leaving the Inferno Phoenix Clan, Feng Jiu Ge met an unaffiliated cultivator who had wandered outside the clan. I treated his illness and helped him achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation!"
An old man said.
The Second Elder of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, Feng Yuntian.
"I heard that the unaffiliated cultivator had a duel with Feng Jiang, and he was stronger than the latter?"
Feng Danqing asked.
"That's right. That unaffiliated cultivator isn't as simple as he seems, "Feng Yuntian replied.
"Feng Jiu Ge has undergone a complete transformation as well! The experiences he had over the past two years had calmed his state of mind. Even if he fails the trial, he's still qualified to return to the clan! "
Feng Danqing stroked his beard and said.
Feng Yuntian nodded.
As the person in charge of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, he didn't wish for any of the clan's geniuses to fall. However, he couldn't allow them to return so easily either.
Thus, the Nine Phoenix Grand Formation had to continue. As for which side would emerge victorious, it was up to them to decide.
"Feng Jiu Ge must be in a really bad state to be struggling in the formation … Tell Feng Xu and the others to just let him suffer a little. Don't damage his foundation, lest he be unable to cultivate in the future!"
Standing by the window, Feng Danqing calculated the time Feng Jiu Ge had taken to enter the formation before instructing.
The Nine Phoenix Grand Formation was shrouded in thick mist, such that even they were unable to peer through it.
However, this formation allowed Feng Xu, Feng Yuancheng, and Feng Qingyan to enter at the same time. Even if Feng Jiu Ge was doubled, tripled, or even tripled, they still wouldn't be able to defeat him.
The only reason they were still doing this was to teach Feng Jiu Ge a lesson.
"Alright, I'll send a message right away …" Feng Yuntian nodded. A moment later, he frowned and said, "They didn't reply. Could it be that … Feng Jiu Ge was too weak and couldn't withstand the trial and was killed?"
Even if they wanted to teach Feng Jiu Ge a lesson, they had to have the qualifications to do so. If Feng Jiu Ge was too weak, he could only blame himself for being too weak.
He couldn't blame anyone else.
"Killed?" Feng Danqing frowned, and ordered, "Stop the formation!"
"Alright!" Feng Yuntian nodded. With a tap of his finger, he sent a surge of energy into the mist.
Even though there were nine people controlling the Nine Phoenix Grand Formation, the true authority was still in their hands. If they wanted to stop it, they could do so with a single thought.
Hu!
The air above the dueling ring rippled intensely, and the mist slowly dissipated.
"Feng Jiu Ge couldn't even last three minutes before being killed. So what if he's dead? It's nothing much …"
Fearing that the First Elder would be displeased, Feng Yuntian explained. However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly caught sight of the situation on the dueling ring, and his mouth widened in shock.
By the side, Feng Danqing also widened his eyes in shock.
On the dueling ring, Feng Jiu Ge, whom they thought had already been killed, was still chasing after Feng Xu and the others, who were trembling in fear, retreating nonstop …
