With the arrival of the Ancient Phoenix Goddess, the atmosphere in Morning Phoenix Hall became extremely lively.
This banquet was specially organized for the Ancient Phoenix Goddess. She was the main character, and everyone else was just there to serve as a foil. But even if they were foils, these people would gladly endure it.
With the arrival of the Goddess, the Heavenly Phoenix City Lord announced the official start of the banquet. Immediately, from outside, there were servants of Heavenly Phoenix City carrying exquisite plates. As if they had practiced this thousands of times, they lined up neatly like flowing water and stepped into Morning Phoenix Hall one after another. They paused in front of the exquisite tables that surrounded the hall, put down the plates in their hands, bowed slightly, and walked out of Morning Phoenix Hall.
The aroma of the delicious food filled the air, mixing with the fragrance of the wine, and lingering in the spacious Morning Phoenix Hall.
"Not bad." Ye Tianfeng's eyes seemed to shine slightly as he stared at the delicious food and wine. Then, without waiting for the City Lord to speak, he picked up the wine jug and poured himself a cup. The fragrance of the wine filled the air, making Ye Tianfeng's eyes even brighter. He couldn't help but pick up the cup. First, he brought it close to his nose and sniffed it carefully. His eyes unconsciously narrowed, and he looked intoxicated.
Then, Ye Tianfeng took a sip. The taste of the wine continued to burst under his taste buds, bringing with it an aged mellow taste that constantly attacked Ye Tianfeng's mouth.
"Good." After a while, Ye Tianfeng let out a long breath.
"This wine is the Blaze Brew that I obtained a hundred years ago. I have kept it for a hundred years. Now that it can appear at the Goddess' banquet and receive the recognition of all the geniuses, it is my honor." The Heavenly Phoenix City Lord laughed.
The banquet officially began with Ye Tianfeng's cup of wine.
Since it was a banquet, wine and food were inevitable. Eating and drinking were inevitable, but no one was an ordinary person. Naturally, they wouldn't indulge in eating and drinking. The purpose of coming here was not for the so-called food and wine. It was just something to liven up the atmosphere and make the banquet not so monotonous.
Chen Zong himself was also a wine lover. Although he wasn't addicted to wine, tasting wine was a rare relaxation and enjoyment for Chen Zong.
Seeing the way Chen Zong drank, Ye Tianfeng immediately walked over with a white jade cup in his hand. "So you are a kindred spirit."
"A toast to Brother Ye." Chen Zong raised his glass.
The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden didn't say anything, nor did she eat or drink. Her eyes slowly swept over the crowd, sizing them up. The two maids beside her were even more direct, sizing them up. It was as though they were observing them, carefully observing them.
As for the six Blazing Phoenix Guards, they were divided into two groups, standing on the left and right sides of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden.
After a short moment, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden finally raised her wine cup, and spoke for the first time, "Thank you for everyone's praise. I am deeply honored."
"I don't dare, I don't dare."
"Goddess, you are too courteous."
The various prodigies, City Lords, and the others all raised their wine cups one after another. Some even stood up and said to the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden.
The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden had referred to herself as a little girl, and had also said that she was deeply honored. However, no one really thought so. If they really thought so, then wouldn't they be far too stupid? Most likely, they wouldn't have been able to survive until now.
That was a kind of self-modesty. If you took it seriously, then you wouldn't be far from death from stupidity.
Chen Zong raised his wine cup as he continued to observe the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden. He still hadn't given up hope.
With the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden taking the initiative to speak and propose a toast to everyone, it directly raised the atmosphere to one level.
An even more intense level.
The majority of the prodigies were all praising how outstanding the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden was and how peerless her beauty was. Some were more tactful, but some were very direct.
Finally, He Zhanghai even made a suggestion. Just eating and drinking wasn't enough. Why not take this opportunity to show off in front of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden, and let the various prodigies show off themselves?
Regarding this, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden didn't have any objections. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Phoenix City Lord revealed a calm smile.
Originally, this was one of the purposes of the banquet. He planned to first invisibly flatter the various prodigies when the time was right, and then make such a suggestion. He hadn't thought that this He Zhanghai's desire to show off was so strong that he even took the initiative to suggest it himself.
This seemed to have a better effect than him saying it himself.
After all, this was the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden. If he could perform well in front of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden and display his unique ability and even charm, and if the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden took a fancy to him because of this, he could become her imperial bodyguard or even a Blazing Phoenix Guard. In fact, he could even obtain the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's favor, and ultimately win her heart.
Which man hadn't had such a beautiful dream in his heart?
If he could win her heart, that would really be a supreme harvest.
Of course, it was actually better not to have such thoughts because the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden was the Divine Maiden of the Ancient Phoenix Mountain. To a certain extent, she wouldn't find a Dao companion. When it really reached that step, who knew what kind of unforeseen event would happen?
Thinking too much wouldn't help matters. Instead, it would only add to his troubles. However, there were indeed benefits to better showing off in front of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden.
As one of the three supreme prodigies present, He Zhanghai was also from a Heaven-grade force. Naturally, he was more well-informed. In addition, he had deliberately made inquiries and so on, so he seized this opportunity to make a suggestion. This was the beginning of showing off.
Hearing He Zhanghai's suggestion, the eyes of the various prodigies lit up. However, there were also some prodigies who secretly frowned. They actually didn't think of this point, and He Zhanghai actually brought it up first. Damn it, if not, the first one to show off in front of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden would be them.
As for showing off one's ability, there were many kinds of abilities. Admittedly, strength was very important, and could be said to be the most important. However, strength couldn't be the only thing. Sometimes, having strength but no brains would cause one to be miserably tricked by others, and ultimately die a miserable death.
In short, strength was indispensable, but it wasn't the only thing. While having great strength, one also needed to match it in other aspects.
Insight, logic, and so on, one didn't need to be a level above others. At the very least, one had to be on par with the average level.
"Brother Zhanghai's suggestion is very good, but there is a downside." Baili Wuyun suddenly opened his mouth, causing He Zhanghai's eyebrows to twitch. He squinted his eyes and looked over, "To show off one's ability, there is no doubt that fighting is the most direct way. Everyone's strength is not ordinary, and the weakest one is at least a ten-star battle strength. Once you fight, I'm afraid that it will cause a lot of damage to this place."
"In my opinion, why don't you all not use your cultivation strength, and only fight with your martial arts skills to see who's better."
After he finished speaking, Baili Wuyun revealed a slight smile.
Normally, he gave off a cold feeling, but that was only relative. This was because not everyone could enter his eyes. Even if it was Ye Tianfeng or He Zhanghai, Baili Wuyun didn't pay too much attention to them. This was because he felt that one day, he would be able to surpass them.
However, facing a genius like the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden …
That was a completely different story.
No one cared about Baili Wuyun's attitude, but they all started to think about the feasibility of Baili Wuyun's suggestion.
Was it feasible?
It was feasible!
If they didn't use their cultivation and other extraordinary powers, and only fought with their martial arts skills, everyone felt that they were very strong, and wouldn't be inferior to anyone else.
Of course, the difference between a ten-star battle strength and an eleven-star battle strength was obvious, but that was the difference in strength, and the difference in skills. However, if they didn't use these factors, and only fought with their martial arts skills, they might win.
"If that's the case, it's a good idea." The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden said after thinking for a while.
Baili Wuyun instantly revealed a face full of smiles. This was the feeling of being acknowledged, and it made him feel an inexplicable sense of excitement. It surged out from his heart, like the water of a great river.
However, He Zhanghai frowned slightly, and he was very unhappy. He was the one who made the suggestion, so the person who was acknowledged by the Divine Maiden should be him, and not Baili Wuyun, no, Baili Faceless.
As expected of Baili Faceless, he looked cold on the outside, but in reality, he was a sinister person.
"Since this suggestion was made by me, then I'll be the first one. Who wants to fight with me?" Baili Wuyun was like a victorious rooster, and he had a valiant and high-spirited look, which was completely different from what he had seen in the Battle Phoenix Arena, which made Chen Zong secretly surprised. However, Chen Zong could understand the change in Baili Wuyun after thinking about it.
Changed from arrogance to respect!
That's what he meant.
After Baili Wuyun finished speaking, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately looked around, sweeping past the faces of all the geniuses, as if he was provoking them.
When he saw Chen Zong, he paused for a moment, and the light in his eyes became more and more intense, as if it was about to materialize and pierce through Chen Zong. There was even a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, with a hint of mockery, as if he was provoking Chen Zong to make the first move.
Chen Zong didn't pay attention to Baili Wuyun.
"I've long heard that Brother Baili Wuyun's sword skills are amazing, but because of the difference in battle power, I didn't dare to say anything. Now that this is a rare opportunity, I, Silver Moon Blade, will show you." At that moment, a young man with a long blade on his back stepped out, his eyes sharp and bright. First, he glanced at the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden, then looked at Baili Wuyun. He also looked like a valiant rooster, and in the next moment, he pulled out the long blade on his back, and a faint sound of the blade rang out, startling everyone.
"A top genius, Silver Moon Blade?" Baili Wuyun's face returned to its original cold and arrogant look, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "Then, show me your blade."
"Excuse me." As soon as Silver Moon Blade finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward, as if he was gliding on water. The bright blade in his hand suddenly trembled, and instantly slashed out horizontally, as if a silver crescent moon had suddenly lit up, dazzling and eye-catching.
But this blade was indeed just a blade technique, without the power of cultivation, and without the infusion of blade intent. In short, there was no extraordinary power to speak of, it was purely a blade technique, a superb blade technique.
Silver Moon Blade was a top genius, and although his battle power was only at the ten-star level, he would definitely break through the ten-star level and reach the eleven-star level soon, so his blade technique was naturally very outstanding.
When the blade was slashed out, it was like a silver crescent moon in the sky, and that trace of sharpness was extremely shocking. Baili Wuyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand landed on the hilt of his sword, and the sharp sword was unsheathed.
