On the way back, Princess Yunxiangmeng and Zhao Feng walked together.
Along the way, Yun Xiangmeng smiled brightly, her attitude was completely different from before, and her words towards Zhao Feng became much more polite and kind.
Zhao Feng felt strange and glanced at Princess Xiangyun in front of him.
From the sect's examination to entering the outer sect, this Princess Xiangyun, with her exquisite and beautiful face, noble status, and elegant temperament, made other outer sect disciples feel ashamed and rejected others thousands of miles away.
Previously, Princess Xiangyun naturally did not bother to take a second look at Zhao Feng, a young man with ordinary qualifications.
But the past and present are different.
The recent experience made Yun Xiangmeng vaguely realize that the young man in front of him might be a genius who cannot be missed in his life.
In a daze, she seemed to see the miraculous rise of the future generation of alchemy geniuses, becoming a dazzling new star in the alchemy world.
As Princess Xiangyun, Yun Xiangmeng's vision and understanding far exceed that of other outer disciples.
Of course she understands the huge role that an outstanding and top alchemist can have on the sect.
A sect has more excellent alchemists who can refine enough high-quality elixirs, which will play a significant role in improving the sect's overall strength.
If he could win over the alchemy genius in front of him, the effect he would have on the Xiangyun royal family would be unimaginable.
only.
Zhao Feng kept a lukewarm attitude towards Yun Xiangmeng's deliberate kindness and wooing.
He didn't have a good impression of the princess of Xiangyun Kingdom, but he didn't want to offend her easily.
After all, Xiangyun Country is also his country and hometown.
Yun Xiangmeng sighed secretly, knowing that she had given Zhao Feng a bad impression before, which caused him to be unfavorable to her.
Of course, she will not give up easily. This is a future star that will be of great help to the sect and the Xiangyun royal family.
Not long.
Zhao Feng and the two returned to the outer gate hall.
Many people know that today is the day when the new disciple Zhao Feng challenges the inner sect candidate "Ji Fengyun".
Many outer disciples put down their work and came to watch the battle.
At this time, seeing Zhao Feng and Yun Xiangmeng coming side by side, some of the nearby outer disciples, especially the new disciples, looked surprised.
"When did Zhao Feng and Princess Xiangyun get close?"
Some outer disciples were amazed and felt incredible.
During the time they entered the sect, everyone was accustomed to Princess Xiangyun's noble and indifferent attitude. Except for a few people such as Xiao Yun and Liu Yue'er, they didn't pay much attention to the other outer disciples.
After a while, Zhao Feng came to the special challenge stage in the outer gate hall.
This challenge platform is located near the residence of the candidate inner disciple.
Those candidates for the inner sect disciples have separate courtyards and pavilions in the outer sect, and enjoy the sect's more superior treatment and cultivation.
Once you become a candidate inner sect disciple, you basically don't have to do any work, and you are relatively free at ordinary times. Unlike ordinary outer sect disciples, you basically work as laborers and do odd jobs for the sect.
The challenge platform is made of pure black special rock. Zhao Feng visually inspected it with his left eye and found that its hardness is several times stronger than steel, and it is difficult for martial arts masters to damage it.
Whenever someone challenges the inner sect's candidate disciples, the neighborhood will be particularly lively.
Zhao Feng saw some familiar figures one after another, Xiao Yun, Liu Yue'er, Chen Feng... and two senior brothers who rushed over in a hurry, Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan.
Not long after, the challenger "Ji Fengyun" also arrived.
For formal challenges like this, a deacon or deputy deacon from the outer hall is usually present to supervise the competition.
The person responsible for today’s challenge is Deacon Qiu.
The new disciples are all familiar with Deacon Qiu. He is the person in charge of the entrance examination.
However, what is unexpected is that there seems to be more than one person challenging the inner sect candidate disciple today.
"In the first game, 'Wang Yang' challenges the inner sect candidate 'Xia Yundong'."
Deacon Qiu's voice was filled with the majesty of an oppressive spirit, echoing for miles around.
The noisy scene on the field soon became quiet.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Two figures exuding powerful auras floated onto the martial arts field.
The two young men on the stage faced each other from a distance.
One is "Xia Yundong" who is ranked twenty among the inner sect's candidate disciples, and the other is the challenger Wang Yang.
Both of them possess the cultivation level of half a step beyond the mortal realm. The inner strength of the martial arts is thunderous and turbulent, surrounding the body surface. The surrounding wind is strong, and the invisible aura is oppressive. Compared with the "Yiwei" of Guangling Mansion, they are even more powerful.
Don't give in too much.
"A half-step holy realm battle!"
Zhao Feng's heart is majestic.
Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan both stood beside him, paying close attention to the battle.
Swish! Swish!
The figure on the stage was swaying, and two afterimages were on the ground, flying rapidly in mid-air. When the moves collided, there was an explosion and roar, and the air waves and strong winds swept across like wild waves.
In a confrontation at the half-step-out-of-mundane realm, if a solid eight-level person approaches, they will probably be cut into pieces.
Both of the two powerful men possess two or three low-level ordinary martial arts, which are equivalent to the legendary holy martial arts in the outside world.
Sword Roaring Wind and Cloud!
The candidate inner disciple "Xia Yundong" stabbed out a fierce sword wind with the long sword in his hand, and the sound roared into the sky. The aftershocks of the cold sword wind were like invisible blades, covering the challenger.
For a moment, the piercing screams of swords and the howling of the wind shook the eardrums, causing some of the eighth and ninth level outer disciples in the audience to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"This is actually the power that the 'Solid Realm' level can possess?"
"Half-step to the mortal realm, it is much more powerful than the ordinary solid ninth level."
Many of the outer disciples watching the battle in the audience were trembling with fear, and were in awe of the inner disciples who had half-stepped out of the mortal realm, as well as the candidate inner disciples.
In the outer sect of Xiaoyue Sect, the candidates for the inner sect are definitely the leaders in combat power.
Generally speaking, if an outer sect disciple wants to challenge a candidate inner sect disciple, he must have at least half a step beyond the mortal realm.
Of course, there are not without a few exceptions, who have succeeded in the challenge with their ninth-level martial arts cultivation.
However, in the past two years, the cultivation levels of the twenty inner disciples who were candidates were basically half a step above the mortal realm.
On the stage, there was an obvious gap between the two half-step-transcendence realms.
As a candidate inner disciple, "Xia Yundong" always holds the initiative. Every move and every sword has a sharp and bone-piercing edge, making it impossible for opponents to get close to him.
After fighting for forty or fifty rounds, the inner sect candidate Xia Dongyun finally won the victory and defeated the challenger Wang Yang.
The attention of this challenge is not high.
Winning or losing is also reasonable and expected.
However, after witnessing this battle, the new outer disciples deeply understood the terrifying strength of the candidate inner disciples.
Especially "Xiao Yun", who had previously wanted to challenge the candidate inner disciple, was breathing heavily and his face was slightly pale. He couldn't help but feel grateful for his caution.
If he were to face Xia Yundong, he might not be able to sustain even ten moves. Let alone Xia Dongyun, the candidate inner disciple, and even the challenger Wang Yang, he would have no chance of winning.
"It's too strong. Bei Mo's strength was only this before he left."
Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan were both secretly worried about Zhao Feng.
That Xia Yundong was only the twentieth inner disciple candidate. It was unimaginable how terrifying "Ji Fengyun", who was ranked thirteenth, would reach.
Thinking of this, the last glimmer of hope that Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan had for Zhao Feng was completely extinguished.
The dust has settled on the first challenge.
Next, there will be a second highly anticipated challenge.
In the first challenge, the two sides were relatively close in strength. They were both disciples of the foreign sect and were familiar to everyone, so they were not very attractive.
In the next match, the challenger was just a newcomer at the eighth level of solid state.
This kind of challenge with disparity in strength has been extremely rare in the outer sect in the past ten years.
Instead of saying that everyone came to see the battle, it would be better to say that everyone came to see how the "ignorant boy" became the butt of laughter.
"In the second game, 'Zhao Feng' challenges the inner sect candidate 'Ji Fengyun'."
Deacon Qiu announced.
As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar. Some people whistled, and many people laughed and booed.
"quiet!"
Qiu Leng snorted, and the invisible mental pressure came like a mountain, and the nearby outer disciples were shocked.
The "Seventh Level of Extraordinary Heaven" above the solid state is like seven levels of unattainable mountains, subduing the complacent outer disciples in the audience like ants.
There was a sudden silence in the whole place.
The group of outer disciples were as silent as a cicada, deeply understanding the strict hierarchy of the sect world.
Under the spotlight, today's two protagonists, Ji Fengyun and Zhao Feng, stepped onto the challenge stage.
Among them, "Ji Fengyun" lives up to his name, ranking thirteenth among the outer sect disciples, and can be said to be a man of the hour among the outer sect.
His popularity and prestige are even higher than those of the previous "Xia Yundong".
In the ranking of candidate inner disciples, there is a small gap between each one, but it is not too big.
But the 13th and 20th places are seven places apart, and the gap cannot be ignored!
After seeing Xia Dongyun's strength before, even Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan completely lost confidence in Zhao Feng.
"Boy named Zhao, I admire your courage for actually challenging Ji."
Ji Fengyun stood on the stage leisurely and contentedly, looking careless.
No one thinks he is too generous!
In front of a strong person who is half-step out of the mortal realm, a solid eighth-level boy can be dealt with by stretching out his hand.
Moreover, Zhao Feng's cultivation level has not even reached the eighth level peak.
"Junior Brother Zhao..."
Yang Qingshan clenched his hands, trembling physically and mentally, with a look of guilt on his face, but more importantly, he was helpless.
Zhao Feng challenged Ji Fengyun because of him.
At this moment, seeing Junior Brother Zhao's unprecedented isolation among countless playful and mocking eyes, he felt deeply guilty in his heart.
Nangong Fan also lowered his head sadly. The prejudice and displeasure he had towards Zhao Feng in the past also turned into smoke at this moment. It was so ridiculous in retrospect.
In the audience, some new disciples, Xiao Yun and others, all had expressions of pity and ridicule in their eyes.
Liu Yue'er, who had some "festivals" with Zhao Feng in the past, had a hint of unbearability in her pretty eyes.
"Perhaps only in this way will he be willing to take the 'right path' and enter the path of alchemy wholeheartedly."
Yun Xiangmeng murmured in her heart.
…
On the challenge stage.
"It's really a bit tricky this time..."
Zhao Feng had a good time and faced an unprecedentedly powerful opponent.
At this moment, he seemed to feel real pressure, as the energy, blood, and martial arts energy in his body surged, squeezing out more potential.
"Boy, if you don't do this, I'll give you a hand. If you can win, even if-"
Ji Fengyun walked like a leisurely stroll in the courtyard, with a slightly playful and playful tone.
Follow the wind style! Smokeless steps!
The shadow flickered, and Zhao Feng disappeared from Ji Fengyun's sight.
Ji Fengyun's voice stopped suddenly, and suddenly he felt a sharp and piercing scream coming from his back.
The audience was in an uproar, and most people didn't even see Zhao Feng clearly.
Soundless, traceless, like smoke in the water.
Zhao Feng's "Smokeless Shadow Step", I don't know when I have reached the highest and perfect state of practice, and integrated the fully understood "Sui Feng Style" to reach a new level.
