Nearly everyone present had their eyeballs about to drop to the ground when they saw the only disciple left in the Branch Vein of Green Spirit Peak defeating the outstanding disciple in the bloodline of Shaoyang Peak, Gu Fei. Especially the younger generation disciple in the nine Tai Profound Veins, none of them dared to believe their own eyes.

Many people knew that just one year ago, this Gu Fei had been bullied to his heart's content by the disciple of the Tongtian peak line, Wang Yuanzhi.

Right now, this Gu Fei seemed to have been reborn anew as he easily defeated Lee Hao. This result was hard for the disciples of the Shaoyang Peak Faction to accept.

Of course, amongst the disciples of the younger generation, there were still a few who knew of Gu Fei's strength.

As for Dongfaang Chen, at this time, he had already classified Gu Fei as one of his strong opponents, so even if he was facing off against Lee Hao with his Shaoyang Peak, he would probably not win so easily.

"Congratulations, Senior Apprentice Brother!" Zhao Zirou was paying close attention to the battle between Gu Fei and Lee Hao. Gu Fei defeating Lee Hao had shocked her greatly, and after Gu Fei jumped off the stage, she walked up to him.

"I must be lucky!" Gu Fei said indifferently, even though he said it like that, his eyes revealed an extremely confident look, and thought: A cultivator at the peak of the Sixth Layer, is that so?!

"Shixiong Dongfang, look …" In a corner of the plaza, Wang Yuanzhi and Dongfaang Chen stood together, looking coldly at Gu Fei and Zhao Zirou, while Wang Yuanzhi spoke fiercely.

Dongfaang Chen snorted coldly, he looked at Gu Fei with an extremely cold gaze, he was also surprised that Gu Fei had defeated Lee Hao, but, this was more fun, he wanted to end Gu Fei's advance personally.

"Lee Hao is such a trash, to actually lose to Gu Fei." Wang Yuanzhi hated Lee Hao to the core, he wished that Lee Hao could teach him a lesson.

"Alright, your own cultivation cannot compare to Lee Hao, he is trash, then what are you?" Hearing that, Dongfaang Chen could not help but frown, and said impatiently. If Wang Family and Dongfaang Family did not have that little bit of a relationship, Dongfaang Chen would not stand up for Wang Yuanzhi and offend someone like Gu Fei.

"This Gu Fei is definitely not simple. If he always pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger, pretending to have a low cultivation, then this person was truly terrifying." Dongfaang Chen said indifferently.

"Play pig to eat the tiger? This is absolutely impossible. " Wang Yuanzhi was shocked, he knew who Gu Fei was. One year ago, he, Wang Yuanzhi, was able to easily play with Gu Fei.

"En!" Dongfaang Chen pondered for a moment, then said: "If that isn't the case, then some things that we do not know happened to Gu Fei, and these things are sufficient to increase his cultivation."

It was not by chance that Dongfaang Chen was able to become the second person in the younger generation of the Taixuan Sect second only to the Sect Master bloodline. According to the information revealed by Wang Yuanzhi, he had pretty much guessed the truth of Gu Fei's situation.

"You mean by a fortuitous encounter? Gu Fei got lucky? " If Wang Yuanzhi still did not understand the meaning of Dongfaang Chen's words, then he was the number one fool in the world.

"Send someone to carefully investigate what Gu Fei has been doing and where he has been for the past year." Dongfaang Chen vaguely guessed something, and instructed Wang Yuanzhi.

"Yes, Brother Dongfang!" Wang Yuanzhi immediately replied. The current Wang Yuanzhi, as long as it was something that was detrimental to Gu Fei, he was willing to do it, and he would definitely do it.

With that, Wang Yuanzhi turned and left, and went to contact his so-called friends that he made at Taixuan Sect.

This was the advantage of being a disciple of an aristocratic family. With a wide network of people and many friends, even if he was a popinjay, he would still be surrounded by friends.

This was because behind the disciples of aristocratic families, there was the strength of their families as a backer. What some people truly valued was not Wang Yuanzhi, but the Wang Family behind him.

For example, Dongfaang Chen's actions and actions, he had never disapproved of Wang Yuanzhi, so he did not want to interact with people like Wang Yuanzhi too much. However, the Wang Family of the Qi Nation was inextricably linked to its own. This way, even if he, Dongfaang Chen, hated Wang Yuanzhi any more, he would have no choice but to stand up for him.

At this time, Gu Fei, who was speaking with Zhao Zirou, suddenly seemed to have sensed something, and turned his head towards Dongfaang Chen's direction.

They could see the hostility in each other's eyes.

"Humph!" Dongfaang Chen, you stepping out on Wang Yuanzhi's behalf, is the stupidest thing to do. " Gu Fei's pupils contracted as traces of a cold glint shot out from the gaps of his eyes.

"Gu Fei, don't be too arrogant, I will trample you on the stage." Dongfaang Chen's face revealed a cold smile, but he did not move in the face of Gu Fei's sharp blade-like eyes.

The two of them were separated by at least forty to fifty meters. There was no need to speak as they could see the meaning in each other's eyes.

Suddenly, in the hearts of Dongfaang Chen and Gu Fei, they both felt the importance of being heroes, and the pity of the strong.

"Senior brother Gu!" Zhao Zirou followed Gu Fei's gaze and discovered Dongfaang Chen. She could not help but be moved, it seemed that there was something wrong between Dongfaang Chen and Senior Brother Gu!

"Clang!" It turned out that the eighty-one participating disciples of the younger generation, who were participating in the Nine Veins Test, had already ended their first match at this time.

The bell rang, and the Daoist man who was sitting on the stairs stood up. He then walked forward, and all the disciples of the younger generation looked towards the Daoist man who was sitting on the stairs in front of the plaza.

"The first round of the competition is now over. The disciples can temporarily disperse and take a break. The second round of the competition will take place in the afternoon." Daoist Xuanfu said in a clear voice as he looked at the disciples in the plaza below.

Then, Taoist Xuan Tian and the other leaders of the six bloodlines immediately stood up from their seats, turned around and walked into the Taixuan Hall.

The first test of the Nine Mystical Association ended. Among the eighty-one outstanding disciples that participated, there were those who were happy, while there were others who were sad. The people who won in the first round were naturally those who were happy. However, those who lost in the first round would definitely not be able to cheer up.

In the first round of the competition, other than Lee Hao who had won against in terms of Shaoyang Peak, it seemed like no other good thing like this had happened.

Without any suspense, Lee Lingfeng, Zi Yu, Dongfaang Chen, and the others easily defeated their opponents and successfully advanced to the next round of the competition.

As for those disciples who had lost, they still had a chance to advance to the next round. In the second round of the afternoon competition, as long as they won, they could advance to the next round.

Only the two disciples who had lost in both matches would be completely eliminated.

After separating with Gu Fei, Zhao Zirou returned to the amongst the disciples of the Purple Bamboo Peak Faction. However, Gu Fei was sitting cross-legged under a pine tree in a remote area of the plaza, with his eyes closed.

In the second match of the afternoon, his opponent was Dongfaang Chen. Facing such an opponent, Gu Fei did not dare to be careless, because he had previously felt quite a bit of pressure from Dongfaang Chen's body.

If Dongfaang Chen had used a great treasure that contained a power similar to's Black Tortoise Seal in the competition, it would be extremely difficult for him to win against Dongfaang Chen.

This was the advantage of cultivators, although their bodies were not as strong as Warrior, but they had the help of treasures. With the combination of Dao arts and magic treasures, cultivators would be able to display strength beyond their limits.

Therefore, if a cultivator obtained a powerful treasure in their hands, their attack power would multiply. This was a common knowledge in Cultivation Realm.

sat below the pine tree as the blood and flesh and bone in his body slowly flowed. The Vital Energy of Five Elements began to materialize from the flesh and blood, then converged within his dantian, forming a multicolored ball of light. The ball of light in his dantian dimmed down again, and waves of Vital Energy of Five Elements began to spread outwards, fusing into his muscles, bones, and flesh.

Gu Fei's cultivation had already reached the stage of being able to change marrow and blood. The new vital energy and blood that had turned into his bone marrow slowly replaced his original vital energy and blood. The new vital energy and blood, which contained a huge amount of profound energy, spread throughout his body, expelling the impurities out of it, causing his body to undergo a metamorphosis.

On Gu Fei's skin that was revealed outside of his clothes, a trace of an indiscernible glow flowed. It was as if there was a thread of brilliance flowing under his skin.

Gu Fei cultivated the body against the heavens, hoping to turn the body into a treasure body. Even though he was still a hundred thousand miles away from the true treasure body, it was undeniable that his body was moving towards that direction.

In the distance, there were many disciples from the other eight branches pointing and talking to Gu Fei at the bottom of the pine tree. They seemed to be discussing Gu Fei, and the battle between Gu Fei and him just now.

These words were mostly negative, and were not praise to Gu Fei. However, regardless of whether it was the good or bad comments, Gu Fei took them as wind passing by, and did not care at all.

The words of others could not even cause Gu Fei's heart to waver; it simply could not affect his state of mind. Only by maintaining one's heart and not being disturbed by external factors could one advance bravely on the path of training.

At this moment, after the Daoist Xuan Wu announced that the competition was temporarily over, temporary tents were quickly set up around the plaza to allow the disciples of the faction to rest.

Those who didn't participate in the competition weren't allowed to go and harass the disciples who were recovering their Qi in the tents.

In the first round of the competition, not everyone was like Gu Fei, Lee Lingfeng, Dongfaang Chen and the others, who defeated their opponent with overwhelming strength the moment they got on the stage. For the majority of the people, they would only emerge victorious or defeated after a fierce battle with their opponents.

The Fa Li consumed in the competition could not be recovered without a period of luck in adjusting one's Yuan Qi and breathing.

During this period of time, no one tried to disturb Gu Fei; there were two reasons. The first was that Gu Fei was no longer the same person as before and the strength he had displayed made the extremely small group of people, who were hostile towards him, tremble in fear. The second reason was very simple;

There were too many pairs of eyes watching the scene in the square. If anything were to happen to anyone, it would definitely not escape the eyes of someone who wanted to do something. Because of this, the surroundings of the plaza became extremely quiet. The disciples of the nine meridians all dared not to speak out loud.

The sun rose past noon, and gradually moved to the west. Four hours later, the crisp sound of a bell once again rang out from within the Taixuan Hall. Following after, the s of the Taixuan Sect walked out from within the Taixuan Hall first, with the seven heads of the Primordial Profound Veins following behind them.

When they arrived at the front of the hall, Taoist Xuan Tian and the other six branches took the seats at the top of the stairs.

"The time has come. I announce the start of the second match!" Even though the Xuan Wu Dao's voice was not loud, it spread to every corner of the plaza, even spreading outside the Taixuan Peak, lingering in the mountains.

"Hmm?" Gu Fei who was seated under a pine tree at the side of the plaza opened his eyes, he stood up and his entire body, suddenly released a burst of crackling sounds.

"The ninth stage, Dongfaang Chen!" Gu Fei muttered, he shook his muscles and bones, then he walked with big steps towards the ninth stage.
