After he said those words, everyone became silent.
The people that knew about what had happened at Wu Hua Peak all couldn’t help but sneer. Did Zhao Jiuge think he could be so arrogant with his strength? The inner sect was very different from the outer sect. This time, everyone was at the Spirit Core Realm.
Even Leng Rufeng and Luo Xie looked at each other when they heard this. Even as Zhao Jiuge’s brothers, they didn’t think he could win one-on-five. Jiullian was stunned too. She didn’t expect the person she favored to be this arrogant! If it wasn’t for the fact that this person was Zhao Jiuge, she would have also felt anger and jumped in as well. However, since it was Zhao Jiuge, she didn’t make the situation worse.
Wu Tianshan’s expression was a bit unhappy. “Senior Sister, this child Jiuge is a bit too much. If this ends badly, he will lose face for our Mysterious Heaven Peak and our teacher.”
“Let’s wait and see.” Fu Hongling looked at the young man wearing the clothes she had personally made. She also didn’t know why Jiuge would say something like this. After being together with him for a while, she knew he was not this reckless.
Even the elders above completely erupted.
“This Zhao Jiuge doesn’t have much strength, but his mouth sure is big. I really want to see how much skill he has,” an old man with a thin face said in a cold tone. It looked like Zhao Jiuge’s words had angered him.
“Of course his skill cannot be lacking, just look at who his teacher is.” Elder Long Wind didn’t get along with the Mysterious Heaven Peak, and he was Wang Yong’s teacher. He wouldn’t miss this opportunity to mock them.
Du Jun and Zhang Xu were very happy. This brat indeed was going to play the same trick. Playing a trick like this here would end badly! The inner sect was not the same as the outer sect—everyone here was like a dragon or a phoenix. Who would willingly submit to someone else?
Jian Wuxian listened to all kinds of discussions like he didn’t care. He leisurely had his hands behind his back while his purple robe fluttered. He just watched the situation unfold before him.
“This brat is also doing such shocking things. I just don’t know if he can win in the end. However, I like his style.”
Jian Wuxuan smiled happily. The more these elders complained, the more happy he became. After all, all those old fossils didn’t like that their Mysterious Heaven Peak was suppressing them.
“Indeed worthy of being a disciple from our branch. To deal with these old bastards, you must use your fists!”
The gloomy Jian Wuxie suddenly looked at Zhao Jiuge with interest. Seeing how Zhao Jiuge had disrupted the situation, a smile appeared on his stiff face.
The only place that was quiet was where the three pillars were standing. Elder Dawn Wind waited to see Zhao Jiuge’s performance. Elder Waning Moon helplessly shook her head and looked at Zhao Jiuge dotingly. Elder Pine Tree had a playful expression.
It could be said that the atmosphere around the Mysterious Heaven Temple had tensed up due to Zhao Jiuge’s words. A storm was brewing.
“Shameless boasting!”
Facing the arrogant Zhao Jiuge, Guo Liangling was the first to let out a roar, because he couldn’t hold back anymore.
“If you want us to all come at once, we’ll all come at once. If we don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t even know why the flower is so red.”
The tall Chen Hailong let out a roar and took out his one-meter-long Green Mountain Sword. He stood beside Guo Liangliang.
The short and dark-skinned Wang Yong frowned while watching this. His original intention was to challenge Zhao Jiuge and win in an one-on-one right. He didn’t expect this to happen, but after hesitating for a moment, he also stepped forward.
Fang Qiwen was at the late stage of the Spirit Core Realm, and he naturally disdained this way of fighting. However, seeing everyone else step forward, he looked at Zhou Hongyong and the two of them stepped forward as well.
The five of them formed a semi-circle around Zhao Jiuge, but Zhao Jiuge was not afraid at all.
The crowd stared at the six of them. Most of them thought the result was already determined.
Perhaps Zhao Jiuge had defeated Zhou Hongyong, but Zhao Hongyong was someone who specialized in spirit formations. Not to mention there was now the powerful Fang Qiwen, as well as three others that couldn’t be underestimated. Even though Zhao Jiuge was strong, he could not win against the five of them.
Before the fight began, Zhou Hongyong began to clamor, “If you know your own strength, then admit defeat and scram now. Don’t wait until you’re beaten half to death.”
What was strange was that Zhao Jiuge didn’t even look at him. Zhou Hongyong felt like this was very strange. “What is wrong with this brat? I have cursed at him again and again, but he doesn’t react.”
A fluctuation of spirit force broke the silence. Guo Liangling couldn’t endure it anymore and released his spirit force. His green spirit treasure-grade flying sword, the Cang Yin Sword, moved.
The one-meter-long Green Mountain Sword in Chen Hailong’s hand began to hum like it was responding to Guo Liangliang’s Cang Yin Sword.
Seeing this situation, Fang Qiwen and Wang Yong, who didn’t want to look like they were bullying Zhao Jiuge with numbers, all released their force. Their auras surged! Only Zhou Hongyong didn’t take out a flying sword and instead silently set up a spirit formation.
At this moment, Zhao Jiuge was alone like a brave boat floating through the rough sea.
Everyone knew who was going to win and lose, they just wanted to see how Zhao Jiuge would deal with this. The elders were quietly watching Jian Wuxian. If the disciple loses, the teacher loses face. Who had told Jian Wuxian to not properly teach his disciple?
However, there was only a flash of light in Jian Wuxian’s eyes. Only he knew what this disciple of his was going to do.
Just at this moment, a shocking change occurred!
Another spirit force fluctuation erupted, and it was much more violent than the other four. Everyone was shocked, and they looked toward the person who had released this aura—it was Zhao Jiuge!
Zhao Jiuge put the sword sheath back on his back but he didn’t pull out his sword. He just stood there while spirit light slowly emerged, and this light continued to grow stronger.
An egg-sized blue and white spirit core flew out of his mouth and floated above his head. There were dense, mysterious patterns around the spirit core. When the grade-8 spirit core appeared, Zhao Jiuge was able to single handedly suppress the other five! One can imagine just now tyrannical this grade-8 spirit core was!
Seeing the egg-sized spirit core and the spirit force fluctuations, the crowd erupted. It was clearly a grade-8 spirit core!
“Ah, this Zhao Jiuge actually condensed a grade-8 spirit core! No wonder he is so arrogant!”
“It has been over 200 years since a grade-8 spirit core has appeared in our Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect! I didn’t expect to be so lucky to see one here.”
“Today, we will be able to see how strong a grade-8 spirit core is. This has become interesting. I hope the grade-8 spirit core won’t disappoint us.”
When the grade-8 spirit core appeared, everyone was shocked, and they all began to talk. A grade-8 spirit core was something out of reach for all these disciples. Their gazes all burned with passion. They wanted to see how powerful the mysterious grade-8 spirit core was.
The higher-ups were unusually quiet, but their expressions had all changed. They understood the meaning of a grade-8 spirit core better than the disciples. They knew the potential of a grade-8 spirit core, and the expressions of all the elders who had caused a clamor earlier became complicated. They were speechless.
When Jian Wuxuan saw their expressions, he felt a bust of joy. He was looking forward to Zhao Jiuge’s performance. It has to be said he only had a rank-7 spirit core himself.
Generally speaking, the spirit core was the fundamental of a cultivator, like how an inner core was the fundamental of a spirit beast. Generally, unless it was a life-threatening situation, it would not be released to face an enemy. If it was damaged, your entire cultivation would be destroyed and you would not be able to cultivate again in the future.
Therefore, no one had expected the madman Zhao Jiuge to release his spirit core. This was merely a battle between disciples within a sect, and yet he was fighting so desperately. However, how could Zhao Jiuge not be angry, given all the things said about him?
The snake-eyed Elder Long Wind’s expression changed a few times before he said, “Head Teacher, battles between disciples are only for learning. I don’t think there is a need to release their spirit cores. They are all geniuses of the sect. It will be bad if someone is seriously injured.”
On the surface, it sounded like he cares about the sect. In reality, when he saw Zhao Jiuge’s grade-8 spirit core, he felt dread, so he put in his request.
With a grade-8 spirit core, as long as there was time, his cultivation would rapidly increase, as long as his comprehension of dao was enough. They now knew why Jian Wuxian was so optimistic about Zhao Jiuge. So this was the reason. However, they couldn’t change the fact that Zhao Jiuge had a grade-8 spirit core, so they had to think about other methods.
Before Jian Wuxian could speak, Elder Dawn Wind in the distance directly interrupted Jian Wuxian. “No need, let them continue and don’t interfere. Only then can they grow. Otherwise, they will just be like house plants. The strong must weather storms and blood to become strong.
Since Elder Dawn Wind had spoken, Elder Long Wind didn’t dare to speak anymore. Although they were both elders, he was merely a Spirit Sea elder—how could he compare to one of the three pillars?
At this moment, none of the higher-ups dared to speak, they just silently watched.
The five people facing Zhao Jiuge didn’t have it as easy as the ones watching. They were suffering from the spirit force pressure Zhao Jiuge was releasing.
The five of them were sweating and their chests were heaving up and down due to the pressure. Their gazes were locked on to the grade-8 spirit core and they had complicated expressions on their face. Even though they were all geniuses, facing this grade-8 spirit core was like an uncrossable gap.
After he said those words, everyone became silent.
The people that knew about what had happened at Wu Hua Peak all couldn’t help but sneer. Did Zhao Jiuge think he could be so arrogant with his strength? The inner sect was very different from the outer sect. This time, everyone was at the Spirit Core Realm.
