642 Grip Tight with Both Hands (1/2)

Who said that if one were to put on a face mask, the wild beast must recognise its owner? Nobody had said that before, hence it was a very awkward question, and a question that Fang Zhengzhi had never expected before.

Green Flame Beast?

Of course it was existent.

Furthermore, it can be confirmed that the Green Flame Beast was waiting at some place on the Sword Peak.

However, the Green Flame Beast was owned by Kong Qing, and not Fang Zhengzhi. He was able to dupe human beings, but it was not easy to do so to beasts.

So, how could he arouse the attention of the waiting Green Flame Beast?

Not only did Fang Zhengzhi not know the method of calling for the Green Flame Beast. Even if he were to manage to call for the beast, it may not recognise the impersonator of its owner.

Was he going to be exposed like this?

Impossible.

This small problem was not an issue for Fang Zhengzhi.

”Hai….. I had thought that the first segment required quite some time, so I had allowed the Green Flame Beast to rest at some other place. Brothers, why not you lend me yours to ride on?” Fang Zhengzhi coughed softly, before looking hopefully at the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.

”Oh no wonder, Brother give me a while. I will call for it now!” One of the disciples heard him, and thereafter, whistled towards the horizon.

”Indeed, intelligence is a good thing.” Fang Zhengzhi's praised his own quick-wittedness, before waiting patiently for the animal.

A deafening howling sound echoed from the horizon.

Only that….

There were not one beast, but two of them.

”Eh? Brother Kong Qing, your Green Flame Beast came too!” The other two disciples saw the two diving beasts, and seemed astonished.

”.....” Fang Zhengzhi did not answer the two disciples' questions.

Because, his current mood can only be described by unfortunate. How was it possible that the beast was called down too? Beasts have the same level of intelligence as human beings?

Fang Zhengzhi felt like ripping the Green Flame Beast to shreds. However, fortunately, the three disciples did not say much, and they merely felt surprised and astonished.

As for Third and Fifth Elder, they did not notice the small incident, and they only looked at each other in the eye, before gently patting the two beasts respectively.

”Hu!” The two beasts immediately flew towards the sky and then towards the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

While the Green Flame Beast and the other wild beast had just landed on the ground and kept their wings. Their red eyes were wide open as they looked at Fang Zhengzhi and the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.

”Brother Kong Qing, take care.” The disciples said to Fang Zhengzhi.

”Ok.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head, and had no intention of staying. He did not wait for the Green Flame Beast to stand firmly on the ground, and leapt onto it lightly, landing on its back.

”Roar!” There was a tinge of fierceness in the eyes of the Green Flame Beast, following which it let out a beastly growl. With both wings flapping once, it shot up onto the horizon momentarily.

It was as swift as lightning.

”Eh? What happened to the Green Flame Beast?” The three disciples saw that the beast had immediately rushed up the sky, and had a tinge of bewilderment in their eyes.

Because, normally, the Green Flame Beast should have stood firmly on the ground before flying. But, it had seemed to have been behaving abnormally in front of them.

However, the responsibility of hosting the selection test was of utmost importance to them. The three disciples did not think too much, and quickly retracted their gaze.

Afterall…..

They had become the ”examiner” for the first segment.

This was an honour that they have never expected to be able to receive, as they were merely new disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and had only been here for a short period of time. To be able to assume such an important responsibility, was considered to be a rare opportunity.

”Alright, Brother Kong Qing has left, we will continue with the examination!” The three disciples looked at the contestants, straightened their faces, and put on a strict look.

The remaining contestants, upon hearing them, showed symptoms of preparedness on their expressions.

…..

In the small wooden house.

The real Kong Qing had awoken earlier.

Being a disciple who was in the peak of the Rebirth State, naturally he would not have remained unconscious for that many hours. His brain was able to handle a hit to the head from the Stifling Rod.

However, his mouth was gagged buy a thick and tough piece of cloth, and his body was tied tightly. More importantly, he did not have any energy left to exert, and felt as though his body was hollow in the inside.

He was unable to even move, let alone free himself from the binding.

However, his hearing capability was not affected.

Upon waking up, he was able to hear Fang Zhengzhi asking the examination questions, as well as the sounds of the contestants being eliminated.

He even heard Third and Fifth Elders'”decision” of entering the small wooden house.

In that instant, his heart was filled with excitement.
