Chapter 157: I, Binglan! Will Establish a Sacred Land (Part 2)
How could she forget that if the entire Immortal Palace were to compete in showing off, no one could surpass Zhang Huaibing.
Fang Youan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became a bit more serious.
Although Zhang Huaibing's maneuvers were quite flashy, they also showcased his understanding of the ice-elemental laws. As the Little Saint Master of Ji Ice Holy Land, Zhang Huaibing certainly lived up to his reputation. Despite his young age, his comprehension of ice-elemental laws already surpassed his own.
However, Fang Youan had his own pride.
For all these years, clinging to his Master and Wang Shouzhe hadn't been for nothing.
Thanks to Wang Shouzhe, coupled with a relic his Master encountered in earlier years, his bloodline had undergone several transformations over the last hundred and eighty years. Now it had reached the level of Second Rate Supremacy.
Such a talent, although not on par with Zhang Huaibing, was not too far behind. Moreover, his cultivation base was two levels higher than Zhang Huaibing's, and his battle experience was even richer. In battle, he had at least a sixty percent chance of winning.
"Hmph~ boasting should come after you defeat me."
He snorted coldly and, with a gesture, a sword resembling ice crystal, a Spirit Magical Sword, appeared in his hand. Waves of ice-elemental Mysterious Energy surged forth.
His entire aura instantly surged.
Simultaneously, a cold pressure emanated from him, icy and domineering, with an indescribable, piercing edge, much like the perpetual Mysterious Ice.
The snow and wind gathered by Zhang Huaibing vanished unknowingly before they even neared him.
That aura was in no way inferior to Zhang Huaibing's.
In the next moment, with a flash of sword light, he turned into a streak of lightning, charging towards Zhang Huaibing in the sky.
Amidst the eyes of countless spectators, the two of them instantly clashed.
Both possessed ice-elemental bloodlines, and Ji Ice Holy Land was abundant with ice-elemental spiritual energy. The battle there was home turf for them, allowing them to exert combat power far beyond other locations.
Their battle was filled with swirling snow and wind, showcasing immense power.
The collision of Sword Intent and laws, the clash of Small Divine Powers erupted continuously, the powerful energy distorting space around them obscurely.
If Urgent Ice Square hadn't been fortified with a Defense Array, even the square itself might not have stayed intact.
The Profound Martial cultivators observing on the square had to continuously retreat to avoid being affected by the battle, and they were secretly astonished.
Zhang Huaibing's performance was expected, but Fang Youan's strong display shocked everyone.
Even Wang Yingxuan couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Old Ancestor Youan, remarkable indeed~ to have improved so much quietly over the years. When there's a chance, I must spar with Old Ancestor Youan."
"Huaibing has been too protected, clearly lacking in combat experience." Wang Licui, with a hint of baby fat on her chin, commented in a dominantly world-weary fashion, "Look at his moves, all too conventional, like sparring with fellow disciples. Whereas Senior Brother Youan is different, obviously having fought enemies for years, reacting swiftly in battle, guarding his vitals tightly, and striking enemies with precision."
"My Old Ancestor Youan started as a Sky Pride; after reaching the Heavenly Human Realm in his eighties, he soon went to the outer battlefield." Wang Yingxuan said, sighing, "In these years, though he rarely spoke, he frequently volunteered for outer battlefield duties to earn Merit Points and exchange for all kinds of resources. In terms of battle experience, he's way ahead of several like Huaibing."
In fact, when she was able to become a Great Heavenly Proud and directly enter Lingyun Holy Ground under True Monarch Yunxu, the Wedding Blood Gu Emperor acquired by Old Ancestor Youan played a significant role. It was said that the Wedding Blood Gu Emperor was something he obtained on the outer battlefield.
"Outer battlefield... Yingxuan, why don't we take a trip to the outer battlefield?" The more Wang Licui pondered, the more interested she became, her eyes gradually lighting up, "I heard there are many exotic ingredients and interesting things there, things you can't find in the Immortal Dynasty."
"Sure, sure~~"
Wang Yingxuan, who was also bold and adventurous, immediately nodded with interest.
Yet, just as she was halfway through nodding, her expression dimmed, hesitating, "But both Master and the Immortal Supreme said that our bloodline talents are too high. Going to the outer battlefield now would easily attract attention from the Demonic Dynasty or outer demons, targeting us for priority elimination. They won't approve of us getting there before reaching the Divine Power Territory."
"What are you afraid of?" Wang Licui, less concerned, waved her hand confidently, "If they won't allow it, can't we just go ourselves? At most, we'll just be careful and low-key when the time comes. We're just going for a look, a stroll, getting familiar with the atmosphere. Of course, the main goal is to find some fresh ingredients we've never tasted."
When fresh ingredients were mentioned, Wang Licui practically glowed with excitement.
Though Devour Heaven Sacred Land had no shortage of Spirit Beast meat, her Second Master True Monarch Yuanyuan would occasionally hunt Level Nine or Level Ten Fierce Beasts to feast with her and other senior and junior brothers and sisters, the variety was ultimately limited.
It had been a long time since she'd encountered a new type of ingredient.
"Alright! Once this is over, we'll find a way to slip into the outer battlefield for some fun." Wang Yingxuan, not one to lack courage, was instantly swayed by the idea, joining hands with Licui.
