In the Essence Demon Mystic Realm.
Fang Lei was severely injured and his internal organs were vibrating as well. His Qi and blood rolled while his tendons and veins were in unrest. There were even some tremors in his dantian.
He spat a few mouthfuls of blood in the air before landing hard on the ground with shock and horror in his eyes.
He was in pain!
There was excruciating pain throughout his body!
However, Fang Lei did not feel any pain and was instead astonished.
He was extremely shocked.
Although he hadn’t really fought an Essence Demon before, he had tried fighting other Abyssal Demons, among which there were existences that were not weaker than Essence Demons.
However, he did not expect that the real Essence Demon would be that powerful.
‘This doesn’t seem right. No matter how strong an Essence Demon may be, it shouldn’t be this powerful, right?’
‘Is this an Essence Demon King?’
‘Damn, is the Academy Master trying to make things hard for me?’
For a moment, Fang Lei was dumbfounded.
Initially, he wasn’t afraid of the mystic realm assessment at all, and instead, he felt that all he needed was a pair of hands to pass.
However, he didn’t expect the truth to be different from what he imagined.
“Fellow Daoist, there is indeed a misunderstanding between us. I didn’t intend to hurt you, I hope you will forgive me, Fellow Daoist.”
At this moment, Ye Ping walked out and said that.
He initially didn’t want to do that either, but Fang Lei was chasing after him and refusing to let him off. If he didn’t retaliate, there was no way he could solve it at all.
However, just as Ye Ping explained politely…
In an instant, Fang Lei’s golden body suddenly vanished. Immediately afterwards, there were crackling sounds and his broken bones began healing on their own. He had one last move which would allow him to instantly recover and return to the peak.
It was the Six-Nine Arcane Technique which was a Mystical Ability. Regardless of the severity of the injury, it would be healed with the power of the Golden Body and their strength would be restored to the peak. They might even advance. However, the only troublesome thing was that they would slip into a state of weakness after some time and would have to recuperate for a few days in order to recover.
Hence, one would basically not be able to use that technique unless it was a last resort.
Of course, when forced to such a state, it was basically a last resort.
Boom!
Fang Lei attacked again, but this time, Ye Ping put his guard down, which was the perfect opportunity for Fang Lei.
However, Fang Lei would have never thought that he was worlds apart from Ye Ping.
Not far away, when Ye Ping walked in front of Fang Lei, he subconsciously moved backwards hundreds of meters away. He cultivated the Ancient Godfiend Body and could naturally feel some extraordinary sense of crisis.
As expected, Fang Lei suddenly recovered from all his injuries and his punches were even more ferocious than before. He wanted to kill him right on the spot.
“It seems that you really won’t calm down unless I cripple you.”
At this moment, there was nothing more for Ye Ping to think about.
He had completely understood that the man in purple in front of him had gone berserk and probably wouldn’t stop attacking him unless he crippled him.
In an instant, Ye Ping once again transformed into the Godfiend and executed all his fist techniques like a ferocious figure.
Boom!
Ye Ping used 30% of this power and his physical body was extremely terrifying. If he used 100% of his power, he would be able to crush Fang Lei into bits with a single punch.
Hence, Ye Ping did not go all out and only used 30% of his power.
The dragon roar sounded again.
Ye Ping broke Fang Lei’s rib with his punch, but in the next moment, Ye Ping threw a kick into the air and even the air seemed to have been distorted.
One punch!
Two punches!
Three punches!
Four punches!
Ye Ping’s punches became faster and more and more ferocious. Towards the end, Fang Lei laid motionlessly on the ground, as if he was at his very last breath.
“Stop hitting me… Stop hitting me… I admit defeat, I admit defeat.”
He seemed to have stopped breathing.
Hearing this weak voice, Ye Ping gradually calmed down.
“Fellow Daoist, have you calmed down now?”
Ye Ping walked over and quietly looked at Fang Lei who was laying on the ground.
Fang Lei was speechless.
He wanted to cry.
He called himself the best genius in Jin Nation and also claimed to be the most ferocious man in Jin Nation Academy. However, he didn’t expect the Essence Demon Mystic Realm to cause him to be so battered up.
The most unbearable thing for Fang Lei was that Ye Ping seemed to be unscathed while he had taken such a hard beating. Fang Lei wasn’t upset about being unable to defeat Ye Ping, but the feeling of being beaten up by someone of the same realm was terrible.
“Fellow Daoist, there must be a misunderstanding.”
Ye Ping’s voice sounded again.
Fang Lei spoke up too.
“Mistake… my foot!”
Fang Lei used all his energy in that sentence.
In the next moment, a crack appeared and directly sucked him away, leaving Ye Ping who was perplexed alone.
At this moment, at the altar above the mountain.
Thousands of disciples of the Jin Nation Academy were staring hard at the altar.
The cracks appeared again.
Everyone was filled with curiosity.
They didn’t know if Fang Lei had defeated the Essence Demon.
“Do you guys think that Senior Brother Fang can defeat the Essence Demon?”
“That’s definitely possible. Senior Brother Fang is the most ferocious man in Jin Nation Academy. If he can’t defeat the Essence Demon, who can?”
“That’s right, I agree.”
“Not necessarily, the Essence Demon’s physical body is strong, and it has a high inherent defense against Dharmic Dao. The odds are probably 50-50.”
“Senior Brother Fang can definitely defeat the Essence Demon. He cultivates the Six-Nine Arcane Technique which is a secret method that can cast the Immortal Golden Body. His physical body is definitely tougher than the demonic beasts.”
“Yes, yes, yes, it can definitely be defeated.”
As the crack appeared, everyone couldn’t help but look into the altar.
Everyone was filled with curiosity.
However, at the next moment, the crack vanished.
Soon, Fang Lei’s body was laid on the altar.
“What’s going on here?”
“Why is Senior Brother Fang lying on the ground?”
“Senior Brother Fang is injured.”
“Guys, look quickly. Senior Brother Fang has already passed out.”
“Oh goodness, look guys. Senior Brother Fang has sustained injuries all over his body.”
“How is this possible? Has Senior Brother Fang lost?”
“Someone as strong as Senior Brother Fang got defeated too?”
“That’s really the case. Seriously? No way.”
“The Essence Demon is so strong? What about the True Demon then?”
Fang Lei’s appearance caused a huge uproar.
Nobody expected that Fang Lei, the ferocious man in their hearts, would lose.
Besides, it was only the Essence Demon Mystic Realm.
Wouldn’t they die in the True Demon Mystic Realm?
The elders of the Jin Nation Academy, as well as other geniuses, even including the Academy Master were shocked, let alone the disciples.
In particular, the Academy Master Li Mocheng knew the abilities of the Essence Demon and Fang Lei. Although Fang Lei might not get an easy win, he at least wouldn’t lose.
However, Fang Lei was severely wounded and even fainted, which seemed rather absurd.
“Silence!”
Li Mocheng ordered in the next moment. He frowned and walked towards Fang Lei, heaving a sigh of relief after checking.
Although he was severely wounded, there was no major issue. However, he had to rest and recuperate for a few months.
Albeit not knowing what exactly happened, Li Mocheng also did not say much. After all, the Essence Demon itself was very tough. Perhaps, Fang Lei was being careless or maybe something else happened, but defeat was defeat.
Li Mocheng immediately ordered for Fang Lei to be carried away. He then said with a straight face, “Next!”
He was very composed as it was not the first time this happened.
‘So what if he’s a genius?’
On the path of immortality cultivation, he had seen countless geniuses who failed. However, that wasn’t rare.
“Ah, I never thought that even Senior Brother Fang would not be able to defeat an Essence Demon. It seems I, Mo Xiaoping, should take over his place as the most ferocious man in Jin Nation Academy.”
At this juncture, a man in black walked out.
He was up next.
Mo Xiaoping was still confident.
In his opinion, Fang Lei was purely brainless and it wasn’t surprising that he would lose.
In the next moment, Mo Xiaoping walked into the crack.
