In their eyes, the Vajra Monk was a powerful figure, but Master Basi, the National Teacher, was like a god, a deity walking on earth.
Even among them, none had ever received such high praise from Basi.
“Thank you for the compliment, Master,” Pei Xuanjing came back to his senses, put away the scroll, and received the praise with a smile, amid all the astonished stares.
He was not modest and did not feel out of place, for he believed what the other party said was true and that he would definitely reach the other party’s realm, and even surpass it.
This young man is terrifying!
Looking at the calm Pei Xuanjing, this thought inevitably emerged in everyone’s hearts.
What does the praise of Master Basi mean?
It signifies that shortly, Shenxiao Sect might witness the rise of a powerful figure who could rival Master Sanfeng.
Despite being a single individual, Master Sanfeng was so powerful that he upheld Taihe Mountain and propelled Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect, which had been established for several decades, to the status of a top Taoist power, ranking it among the most influential forces in the world.
Even if Danling Zi were not as strong as Master Sanfeng in the future, it was believed that there wouldn’t be much of a difference.
But the foundation of Shenxiao Sect cannot be compared to that of the True Martial Sect, which means that Shenxiao Sect might rise to prominence once again, possibly reclaiming its position as leader of the Taoist School.
Remembering the style of the Shenxiao Sect during its glory days, many from the Taoist and Buddhist schools frowned, obviously not wanting to see such things happen again.
The contemporary Bai Xiaosheng, hidden in the crowd, silently wrote hurriedly on a piece of paper.
“On XX day of XX month in XX year, Master Basi, the national teacher of Great Yuan, came to Taihe Mountain to challenge Master Sanfeng, but was stopped by the Heroes. The former Zen Sect rebelled, the master of Diamond Gate, the Vajra Monk, rebuked the Heroes, and wanted to sweep away the Heroes single-handedly. With a few simple moves, he easily defeated the chief monk Jie Fa of the Dharma Institute of the Zen Sect. At the height of his arrogance, Danling Zi of the Shenxiao Sect stepped forward to challenge him and, with an unbelievably strong physical strength, defeated the Vajra Monk with nine punches. Even the famous Master Basi of Great Yuan took notice of him and praised his great strength, believing him to be capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with himself. Danling Zi took the praise calmly, unfazed by it…”
Just as Bai Xiaosheng was about to finish writing, he suddenly heard the loud voice of Pei Xuanjing echoing across Taihe Mountain.
Because of this, Bai Xiaosheng’s swiftly moving pen came to an abrupt stop, a few drops of ink splattered onto the paper, staining and ruining the neat white paper.
However, Bai Xiaosheng seemed not to care at all, instead looking at the slender young man of early adulthood across the way with a look of astonishment.
“Danling Zi of Shenxiao Sect asks for Master’s guidance!” Pei Xuanjing gave a salute with his fists and then gestured to continue.
Boom!
There was complete silence on Taihe Mountain, and then, as if a thunderclap had scared away the birds, it fell into endless noise.
“What, he actually challenges Master Basi!”
“How dare he! The master is a living god in this world, and he, a mere mortal, dares to aspire to such heights!”
“He is somewhat arrogant and oversteps his bounds once he gets power.”
“Although he defeated the Vajra Monk, he is undoubtedly a grass snake trying to wrestle with the mighty dragon when compared with the National Teacher.”
“Junior brother! ”
Even Danyang Zi’s complexion changed, and he tried to stop him.
Even though Pei Xuanjing had shown extraordinary strength just now, he didn’t think the latter could fight a battle against Basi.
Pei Xuanjing ignored the voices around him and looked at Basi, the strongest person he had ever met in his life, with bright eyes.
“Would you like to reconsider?” Basi clasped his hands together, looked at Pei Xuanjing in front of him placidly.
Neither sad nor happy, facing Pei Xuanjing’s challenge, he showed no surprise, but felt it was only natural, expected.
After all, if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to resist discussing the martial arts with a powerful warrior, would he?
If he could really be as calm as still water, then he should be studying Buddhism in front of the Esoteric Sect Divine Statue in the Western Regions rather than being here on Taihe Mountain.
“Master, you won’t refuse, will you?” Pei Xuanjing laughed.
In front of Master Basi of Great Yuan, the endless fighting spirit in Pei Xuanjing’s heart was burning. In his bright eyes, only the other party was left.
“With your talent and spirit, if given more time, you could have been a worthy opponent for myself, pity…” Basi spoke with some regret, finally shaking his head: “In that case, you may strike!”
He knew that his words were of no use and finally refrained from saying more, agreeing instead.
As far as he was concerned, he was looking forward to Pei Xuanjing’s eventual growth, a later challenge, and serving as his sharpening stone.
In Master Basi’s opinion, Pei Xuanjing was strong now, but still lacking in some respects compared to himself.
He actually agreed, much to everyone’s surprise.
The look they cast at Pei Xuanjing was filled with astonishment as well.
The fact that Master Basi agreed showed at least one thing that he recognized Pei Xuanjing’s strength and deemed him worthy of crossing hands.
Just this alone was enough to attest Pei Xuanjing’s strength.
“Thank you, Master, for permitting me!” Pei Xuanjing thanked him with a salute.
The chance to compete against such a powerful figure was a victory for him, even if he failed this test.
Master Basi only smiled and didn’t say anything, quietly waiting for Pei Xuanjing to make a move..
