Fang Yuan whispered a few words to the city guards beside him. After instructing them to try their best to satisfy the requirements of those martial artists, he prepared to leave.
Boom!
At this moment, there seemed to be an explosion in the crowd. At the same time, a golden pillar of light instantly shot into the sky from the corner.
Such a huge commotion and phenomenon naturally alarmed everyone. Fang Yuan also stopped in his tracks and looked over in surprise.
He really did not expect that after a while, someone would actually comprehend something from the Venerable Order.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, this person’s gains were definitely not small. It was even very likely that he had comprehended some kind of powerful offensive technique or a heaven-defying cultivation technique.
In the place where the golden pillar of light shot into the sky, a terrifying existence with an aura as deep as an abyss was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
A powerful shield that was completely condensed from golden light floated and spun in front of him.
Sensing the wisps of indestructible aura emanating from the shield, everyone’s expressions changed. Even Fang Yuan on the platform was no exception.
How strong!
It was so strong that it was terrifying, so strong that it made one feel suffocated.
Not long after, the powerful martial artist who had comprehended the golden shield suddenly opened his eyes. Light flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Everyone present revealed looks of envy and even jealousy. Even their breathing could not help but become heavier.
Finally, someone could not help but ask curiously, “Forgive me for being presumptuous, but may I ask if you have comprehended Lord Venerable’s martial will?”
The man nodded slightly when he heard this, but he could not hide his smugness.
He could not be blamed for not being shrewd enough to hide his joy. This opportunity was too great and too heaven-defying.
Seeing that he had nodded in agreement, the crowd was silent for a moment before boiling over again. Many people could not help but comment.
“I wonder if you can give me some pointers on how to comprehend the Venerable Order?”
“That’s right! That’s right! Sir, please enlighten us. This Venerable Order is really too profound. We can’t find a way to comprehend it at all.”
“We’re all very envious of you for comprehending this mystic technique, Lord. If you don’t mind, why don’t you show us your power? It’ll also broaden our horizons!”
…
Seeing that everyone was asking questions, the man shook his head helplessly and sighed. “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you!”
“It was only by chance that my spiritual power resonated with the Venerable Order. That’s how I proudly comprehended a wisp of the Lord Venerable’s martial will.”
“It’s not that I’m hiding my strength, but even I don’t know which direction to comprehend the technique from.”
Everyone looked disappointed when they heard this. They had thought that there would be a shortcut, but they did not expect it to be blocked before they even started on their journey.
Seeing that everyone was disappointed, the person changed the topic and continued, “However, it’s still possible for everyone to witness the power of the mystic technique.”
Everyone couldn’t help but show interest again. Seeing this, that person continued, “I’ve comprehended a wisp of Indestructible Vajra Intent from the Venerable Order. I can condense an Invincible Vajra Shield to protect me.”
“With my peak Rank-8 cultivation and this secret technique, I should be able to withstand the attack of an early Rank-9 grandmaster.”
Hiss!
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp when they heard this. If this person wasn’t spouting nonsense, this was really terrifying.
It would be a battle with an enemy of a higher level. Furthermore, it was a terrifying battle where a Rank-8 expert won against a Rank-9 expert despite the large difference in strength.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly stood up and cupped his hands at that person. “It’s a coincidence. I just broke through to Rank-9 recently.”
“If Brother Ye Kai doesn’t mind, how about we give it a try?”
It was obvious that the two of them knew each other, and their relationship should be quite good in private. Otherwise, this person wouldn’t have rashly suggested testing their moves.
The Rank-8 grandmaster called Ye Kai nodded slightly, agreeing to the other party’s request.
Of course, the two of them also obtained Fang Yuan’s agreement to test the power of the technique.
After all, it was clearly stated in the Venerable Order that conflicts were forbidden in Cang City. If they were suppressed because of a trial battle, they would really be wronged.
Fang Yuan naturally had no objections to this. He only instructed the two of them not to implicate the ordinary people in the city. Then, he prepared to watch the two of them fight with interest.
Everyone was naturally overjoyed by this. They consciously retreated and opened up an area for the two of them, leaving enough space to fight.
Ye Kai did not let everyone wait any longer. He reached out and moved the golden shield to cover himself.
The Rank-9 Grandmaster-Realm expert did not hold back and used his iron fists to attack the golden shield.
Of course, although Ye Kai said that he could withstand the attack of a Rank-9 grandmaster with his mystic technique, this person did not dare to use his full strength. It would be bad if the golden shield could not withstand it, causing the other party to be severely injured.
Boom!
The two of them collided fiercely, and the terrifying aftershock spread in all directions. There were naturally experts in the crowd who blocked it.
The dust gradually dissipated. What was shocking was that Ye Kai, who was at the peak of Rank-8, did not take half a step back from the Grandmaster-Realm attack. The two of them fought evenly for the first round.
Seeing how powerful the golden shield was, the Rank-9 grandmaster couldn’t help but praise, “What a powerful technique!”
Then, he no longer held back. After reminding the other party to be careful, he waved his fists again and attacked. The two of them instantly fought again.
The more he fought, the more shocked this Rank-9 grandmaster felt. Other than not using his weapon, he had already displayed his peak combat strength.
However, even so, other than suppressing Ye Kai and making him look miserable, he could not cause him any substantial harm.
The two of them were not fighting to the death. After testing the power of the golden shield, the Rank-9 grandmaster stopped attacking and jumped out of the battle.
Then, he said in shock, “Such a wonderful technique is indeed heaven-defying. Brother Ye Kai is really lucky!”
Fang Yuan was secretly excited when he saw this. Was Ye Kai a living advertisement?
With him comprehending the mystic technique, who would be willing to leave this place and cause trouble in the city?
Upon thinking of this, Fang Yuan couldn’t help but clap and laugh. “Everyone, a great opportunity is right in front of you. As long as you comprehend the Venerable Order, you can have the terrifying ability to fight experts of a higher level. You can’t miss this chance.”
“I hope that everyone here can gain some insights from the Venerable Order and increase your combat strength!”
Actually, there was no need for Fang Yuan to say this. The many experts present were not stupid. How could they not know how heaven-defying this opportunity was?
Without another word, everyone sat cross-legged again and continued to comprehend the Venerable Order floating in midair.
