"Eldest Senior Brother is indeed Eldest Senior Brother." Ling He sighed, feeling as if he was looking up at a tall mountain.
"Then what's Senior Brother Zhu's cultivation level now?" Jiang Wang asked again.
"I haven't seen him in a while." Zhang Linchuan sighed inexplicably. "He should have already opened the Heaven and Earth Gate …"
"Then he's about the same as you, Senior Brother. They're on par! I still think highly of you, Senior Brother Zhang! "Huang Azhan was very persistent in flattering him.
Everyone knew that Zhang Linchuan had already opened the Heaven and Earth Gate for a long time. He was only a step away from the sixth-stage Soaring Dragon Realm. Therefore, it wasn't impossible to say that they were about the same, but …
Zhang Linchuan looked at Huang Azhan strangely, then took two more steps away.
Although Zhu Weiwo had just entered the sixth-stage, he had been hunting down the Heart Devouring Demon all over the world! How could he be an ordinary person who had just entered the sixth-stage?
Zhao Rucheng and Jiang Wang looked at each other, then tacitly moved away.
"Hey hey hey, what's the meaning of this?" Huang Azhan shouted.
Zhao Rucheng sighed. "I finally know why Tiger Du is becoming more and more stupid."
Jiang Wang also looked up at the sky. "Perhaps stupidity is contagious …"
At this time, Dong A had already read out the last spot for the first-year students. "According to convention, each academy must have a spot for the first-year students in the Dao Debate. It's given to the newest batch of academy disciples to show that there are talented people in every generation …"
Below the stage, Fang Heling suddenly clenched his fists!
Among the academy disciples in the same batch as him, only he and Jiang Wang were the first to open their meridians. Now that a few months had passed, there were other students who had also opened their meridians. However, only he, Fang Heling, had finished laying the foundation.
He could be considered to be the most outstanding!
If one had to represent the standards of the new students in Maplewood City's Dao Academy, who else could it be but him?
This was a kind of glory! It was enough to wash away the doubts his father had about him buying a Meridians Unlocking Pill despite everyone's objections.
He, Fang Heling, must …
"Jiang Wang." Dong A said.
The audience was in an uproar. Jiang Wang's name was well known in the Cheng Dao Academy as he was the first in the Outer Core to enter the Inner Core and had won the Dao Verification Death Duel in public. As for the fact that he had been hesitating for a long time before laying the foundation, some people added fuel to the fire and spread the news very widely.
What was it about Jiang Lang's talent being exhausted? Over and over again, it was the same thing.
And in the eyes of Dean Dong A, he actually represented the strongest amongst the new students?
"Dean!" Fang Heling stood out angrily and met Dong Ah's cold and solemn gaze. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head. He was extremely perturbed, but soon he straightened his neck and said, "I … I refuse to accept this!"
"Ha." Wei Quji smiled. He was very happy to see Dong A being questioned, even though he believed that Dong A's vision would not be wrong.
"It's very simple." Wei Quji said, "Come on stage and fight. Whoever wins will go."
Only after the words left his mouth did he realize how stupid he was. No matter what, he couldn't and shouldn't question Dong Ah on such an occasion. He shouldn't question a big shot who could easily decide his future.
Fang Heling could only feel his heels trembling, but he still forced himself to stand and look at Dong A. He was already riding a tiger and had no way to back down.
Fortunately, Dong A didn't seem to have any intention of making things difficult for him, nor did he embarrass Wei Quji.
"Alright," he said.
Fang Heling heaved a sigh of relief. He straightened his back as much as possible and walked up to the high platform under the gaze of the crowd.
He wanted to use his familiar Dao techniques to defeat his opponent as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. He wanted to prove that he wasn't doing this for himself, but for the reputation of the entire Maplewood City's Dao Academy. How could they send a guy who couldn't lay the foundation for the Three Cities Martial Arts Exhibition?
He felt the gazes of the crowd. There was surprise, envy, jealousy, and solemnity in their gazes.
As he walked on the path where the crowd parted, he suddenly wondered if his cousin Fang Pengju had felt the same when he was in the limelight.
Fang Pengju had died before entering the inner sect, but he was already a dignified inner sect disciple!
Then, he heard Jiang Wang's voice.
Jiang Wang had been extremely calm throughout the entire process. He was so calm that it seemed as if it had nothing to do with him.
But after Dong A agreed to determine the quota through battle, he raised his eyes and asked casually, "Can I injure people?"
Can I injure people? He was asking if the rules allowed it, not if he could.
Fang Heling's lungs were about to explode from anger!
Dong A said expressionlessly, "You can't cripple or kill."
Apart from that, he could do anything.
Wei Quji, Dong A, and a few Maplewood City officials and Dao Academy instructors stood on the high platform. At this moment, all of them took a few steps back and stood at the edge of the high platform to make room for the battle.
Jiang Wang nodded. He walked calmly toward the high platform with one hand on his scabbard.
Fang Heling, who was already standing on the high platform, stared at him like a nail.
"Don't worry, we're from the same sect. I won't cripple you," Fang Heling said through clenched teeth.
The crowd looked forward to Jiang Wang's fierce reply, but Jiang Wang remained silent.
The two of them stood facing each other on the high platform.
This scene reminded many people of the deathmatch at the Dao Examination a few months ago. One of them was still Jiang Wang, and the other was still surnamed Fang.
Wei Quji was originally in high spirits, but after noticing Fang Heling's agitation and eagerness, and then looking at Jiang Wang's calmness from beginning to end, he suddenly lost interest.
One was clearly a young chick who had never fought to the death, while the other was a cultivator who had experienced countless battles. Even if there was a slight difference in cultivation, what suspense was there to speak of?
"Let's begin." He waved his hand disinterestedly.
Clang!
It was the whistling sound of a sword being unsheathed!
Before the battle began, Fang Heling had imagined many ways to fight and considered which Dao technique would be the most advantageous. He was not stupid. He knew that his greatest advantage over Jiang Wang was in Dao techniques. He could use Dao techniques, while Jiang Wang could not. This was his chance to win.
However, that sword was too fast.
Fang Heling's final Dao technique was the Flaming Blade. Among the basic Dao techniques of the Five Elements, this technique was the most violent, and he was the most proficient in it.
In order to maintain his lead and wash away the doubts in his clan, he did not slack off. He had been working hard all this time.
Now, he only needed three breaths to complete the hand seals!
However, that sword was too fast.
Was it two breaths, or one breath? In any case, he had just begun to form the hand seals when that sword was already at his neck. The edge of that sword was faintly piercing the skin and blood vessels on his neck.
It was over?
What kind of sword technique was this!
Jiang Wang turned the tip of his sword and used the blade to lightly tap Fang Heling's cheek, waking him from his daze.
"You've lost," Jiang Wang said.
Fang Heling was at a loss and felt helpless. How, how could this be? He did not even have time to use a single Dao technique!
If, if, if, after a period of time, when he had completed the Minor Heavenly Cycle and branded the Flaming Blade Dao technique in the Heavenly Connecting Palace, he would have been able to instantly cast it. He definitely would not have been unable to attack!
If …
He suddenly raised his head and gritted his teeth. "You must have used your Dao essence to activate your sword technique. You haven't even laid your foundation. Every Dao essence you use is one less. You're actually willing to delay laying your foundation for such a competition. You're really willing! "
Jiang Wang sheathed his sword and turned around to leave the high platform. Just like every time he encountered Fang Heling's provocation, he was too lazy to respond and disdainful.
An ant was provoking him in the middle of the road, and humans could not hear its voice at all.
"You'll never be able to lay your foundation in this lifetime!" Fang Heling shouted at his back.
"Get down! What a disgrace! "With a wave of Dong A's sleeve, Fang Heling really rolled down the high platform.
He stood up and looked around. All he saw were looks of sympathy and disdain.
He was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he roared and staggered away.
