Chapter 1015: The Meridian of Seven Orifices
Xiao Yi heard this, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, his expression somewhat displeased.
"The Sky-reaching Jade, I can return it." Xiao Yi suppressed his inner displeasure.
"Smart." The Sky-reaching Peak Deacon smiled with satisfaction.
"However," Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "this Sky-reaching Jade is a reward I earned after passing the Xuan Lock Chain."
"Moreover, when I passed the second test, the reward value was 72 times greater."
"So, senior, just return me an equivalent reward..."
Before Xiao Yi finished speaking.
The Sky-reaching Peak Deacon's expression turned displeased, interrupting, "Xiao Yi, I think you misunderstood the meaning of this old man."
"The Sky-reaching Jade is the supreme treasure of my Sky-reaching Peak."
"Allowing you to return it is to avoid the pearl being covered in dust."
"Moreover, since you passed the Thirty-Six Sky-reaching Formation, my Sky-reaching Peak will compensate you by allowing you to enter our Sky-reaching Peak exceptionally."
"Directly becoming a disciple of Sky-reaching Peak."
Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Senior means to use this quota for a Sky-reaching Peak disciple to exchange for the Sky-reaching Jade."
"Correct." The Sky-reaching Peak Deacon nodded.
"You should know, with your mere High Grade Third Class comprehensive evaluation, passing any Inner Sect threshold was already by luck."
"You can't pass the test of being a Twelve Peaks Disciple."
"You..."
"No need." For the first time, Xiao Yi interrupted the Sky-reaching Peak Deacon.
"Compared to entering directly, I'd rather rely on my own abilities."
Xiao Yi's tone instantly turned icy, his face cold like Frost.
In fact, this Sky-reaching Jade is of no use to him.
No, it should be said it is useful, but its utility is not great.
Compared to this Sky-reaching Jade, he would rather have some Cultivation Items.
However, this Sky-reaching Peak Deacon evidently wasn't willing to do so.
Of course, even if that's the case, Xiao Yi could still accept it.
After all, his purpose in coming to the Heavenly Hidden Academy is to resolve Martial Arts confusions, cultivate martial arts, and increase his strength.
But the language and attitude of this Sky-reaching Peak Deacon instantly changed his mind.
He wanted to enter the Heavenly Hidden Twelve Peaks for Martial Arts guidance.
He could do without the Sky-reaching Jade and these Cultivation Items.
But he would not accept this Sky-reaching Peak Deacon's seemingly "charitable" tone.
He doesn't need the "charity" of Sky-reaching Peak granting him a disciple quota.
But to make him relinquish the Sky-reaching Jade in exchange for an exceptional entry as a disciple of Sky-reaching Peak, such a thing, he did not need.
"Kid, I think you are a smart person and should know how to choose." The Sky-reaching Peak Deacon's face suddenly darkened.
"If you can't pass the test of the Twelve Peaks, you'll have to return to the Inner Sect."
"The gap between Inner Sect Disciples and Twelve Peaks Disciples is not something I need to elaborate on."
"Heh." Xiao Yi's expression turned indifferent with a slight laugh.
"If my skills truly fall short, going back to the Inner Sect isn't so bad."
"You..." The face of the Sky-reaching Peak Deacon showed anger.
"Enough, let's begin the challenge." Xiao Yi interrupted suddenly.
"The one I want to challenge is..."
Xiao Yi intended to challenge a Sky-reaching Peak disciple, but before he could finish speaking, a figure stepped in front of him.
"I'll go first." Fang Shushu stepped out, "Sky-reaching Peak disciple, let me meet you."
"Fine." A Sky-reaching Peak disciple stood out proudly.
"Xiao Yi, let me take the spotlight for a moment." Fang Shushu glanced at Xiao Yi and said with a smile.
Xiao Yi nodded, "Alright."
With that, Xiao Yi retreated to his original position.
In the field, only the Sky-reaching Peak disciple and Fang Shushu remained.
Whoosh...
Fang Shushu's figure flashed, striking out immediately.
The Sky-reaching Peak disciple, on the other hand, burst forth with momentum, clearly prepared to fight with full strength.
Fang Shushu chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't play dirty like Sikong Yu, that bastard."
Bang... The two clashed instantly, displaying impressive prowess.
"Impressive." From a distance, Xiao Yi watched Fang Shushu battle and exclaimed with admiration.
To be precise, this was his first time seeing Fang Shushu fight with full strength.
Such combat power was no worse than Sikong Yu before.
On the other side, a group of deacons watched attentively.
The issue between the Sky-reaching Peak Deacon and Xiao Yi did not affect the assessment for the third test.
"Hmm, this kid is not bad." A deacon nodded with satisfaction.
The battle between Fang Shushu and the Sky-reaching Peak disciple was currently in a stalemate.
It was not because the Sky-reaching Peak disciple was weak or Fang Shushu was too strong.
But rather because the Sky-reaching Peak disciple specialized in the way of Formation.
The combat power of an Array Master mostly comes from formations.
Their personal strength or close combat falls short in comparison.
Bang... bang... bang...
After several minutes, seeing no end to Fang Shushu, the Sky-reaching Peak disciple even slightly gained the upper hand.
After continuously launching several attacks, he immediately distanced himself from Fang Shushu.
The moment he gained distance, the Sky-reaching Peak disciple's hands moved quickly, clearly setting up a formation.
"Kid, don't get too complacent." The Sky-reaching Peak disciple sneered coldly.
"I'm an Array Master, it's normal for my combat power to be inferior to yours."
"When my formation takes shape, it will be your moment of defeat."
The Sky-reaching Peak disciple specifically said a few words.
After all, he was one of the Twelve Peaks Disciples, yet he could not handle a newly entered Heavenly Talent, which wasn't an appearance he could maintain.
Fang Shushu didn't mind; instead, he sneered.
"Do you think you're the only Array Master?" Fang Shushu waved a large hand, and a Martial Soul Illusion instantly condensed behind him.
It was a book radiating purple light.
Without a doubt, Fang Shushu possessed a Purple Martial Soul.
Bang... The purple book descended mightily from behind to in front of Fang Shushu.
Fang Shushu's fingers formed seals, dancing quickly at the fingertips.
The purple book also opened at the same time.
One by one, mysterious patterns were drawn out from the book.
After merely a few seconds, Fang Shushu waved a large hand, "Go."
A trapped Formation instantly trapped the Sky-reaching Peak disciple.
The Sky-reaching Peak disciple's face changed; he had to know his formation was not yet formed.
Fang Shushu sneered, "And to think you're a Sky-reaching Peak disciple, forming formations at such a slow pace, what a joke."
While speaking, Fang Shushu's fingertips did not stop.
On the purple book, mysterious patterns continued to emerge.
From afar, Xiao Yi's face showed astonishment, "Impressive, using Martial Soul as the base, Primordial Power as the fingers, forming a formation in seconds."
"Hmph." Fang Shushu snorted coldly, waving his large hand again.
Consecutive trapped formations firmly ensnared the Sky-reaching Peak disciple.
"All-embracing." Fang Shushu shouted.
Massive towering trees rose from the ground, instantly forming a canopy that obscured the sky and the sun.
At this point, the Sky-reaching Peak disciple was completely trapped, with no way to escape to the heavens or the earth.
"The forest has emerged; how could there be no demon beasts?" Fang Shushu sneered.
With his fingertips dancing continuously, various demon beast patterns appeared in the book.
Ten seconds later, within the trapped Formation, dozens of Level 9 Peak demon beasts appeared out of thin air.
"Let's add a few giants for you." Fang Shushu grinned sinisterly.
With the movement of his fingertips, not long after, three gigantic beasts appeared within the trapped Formation.
Judging by their momentum, all of them bore the aura of the Infinite Sacred Realm.
"Hiss." From a distance, several deacons observing inhaled sharply.
"Using the power of formations to conjure demon beasts, this kid even imprints Limitless Saint Realm level demon beasts so quickly?"
"This kid's formation drawing speed is swift."
"He must have the Seven Apertures Vein." A deacon squinted his eyes, filled with delight.
"If I'm not mistaken, this kid is from the Fang Family in the Four-direction Domain, that troublemaker, right?"
Deacon Youu chuckled, "Yes, it's him, that Fang kid from the Four-direction Domain..."
...
