Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fluffy white clouds hung in the blue sky. As the two figures stood in the air facing each other, majestic spiritual energy shot up into the sky and tore the clouds apart.
Everyone watching fixed their gazes on the two figures.
Many streamers from afar darted toward that direction. It seemed like they had received news of the duel between the overlord in the Dragon-Phoenix Record and the mighty dark horse.
Many of them were interested in such duels.
Fang Yi looked suave as he stood in the air, with his white garment fluttering and his black hair blowing in the wind. He looked flatly at the people who had rushed over and then turned to look at Mu Chen. He said, “You have been in the limelight recently in North Territory.”
“It Is all thanks to you,” Mu Chen said and smiled.
Mu Chen was mocking Fang Yi, but Fang Yi did not take it to heart. He said with a smile, “You are welcome. However, since I can make you famous, I can also make you a nobody again.”
“Oh?” Mu Chen shrugged. He looked at Fang Yi and said, “I am looking forward to it. However, I would like to suggest that you do not go overboard. If you lose your overlord position in the Dragon-Phoenix Record, it will be too late for regret.”
“You need to have the capability to do that.”
Fang Yi remained expressionless, but the coldness in his eyes quickly surged. Majestic spiritual energy surrounded him like a windstorm and started to rage.
Mu Chen could feel the spiritual energy oppression emanating from Fang Yi’s body. Although he had said that he would not back out, he knew that Fang Yi was tough to deal with.
Judging from the spiritual energy oppression, Fang Yi had steadily advanced within the realm of Grade Five Sovereign. He was obviously much more powerful than Qiu Taiyin.
This would be an intense fight!
As the spiritual energy of the two powers started to gather, more people came together. They watched the two of them and started to whisper to one another.
“Hahaha, this fight is interesting. The overlord in the Dragon-Phoenix Record is fighting the mighty dark horse. I wonder who will win.”
“I think Fang Yi has a greater chance of winning. After all, he is a Grade Five Sovereign, whereas Mu Chen is only at Grade Four.”
“I don’t think so. Mu Chen’s actual strength is more powerful than what you see. I heard that during the Ceremony of Bestowing Lordship, he defeated Qiu Taiyin, who is also a Grade Five Sovereign.”
“Qiu Taiyin has just attained Grade Five Sovereign. You cannot compare him with Fang Yi.”
“It will be good if Mu Chen fails to defeat Fang Yi. He has been in the limelight recently, and it is time to bring him down. He has to learn that one should keep a low profile in the North Territory.”
“…”
The people whispered among themselves, and most of them expected Fang Yi to win. After all, Mu Chen had only risen in fame recently, but Fang Yi had been the overlord in the Dragon-Phoenix Record for a long time. Mu Chen was still incomparable to him.
Most importantly, Mu Chen was only a Grade Four Sovereign, but Fang Yi had long ago attained Grade Five Sovereign.
The people knew about Mu Chen’s performance, and that his actual combat force was more powerful than what it seemed. An ordinary Grade Five Sovereign would have a tough time dealing with him, but… Fang Yi was not an ordinary Grade Five Sovereign.
As part of the younger generation groomed by the Divine Pavilion, no one knew what trump card he was holding.
Lord Blood Hawk, Wu Tian, and the rest who were trapped by the Heavenly Alligator Troop looked up to the sky at the two of them from their position in the valley. They looked grave. Although they had seen how powerful Mu Chen was at the Ceremony of Bestowing Lordship, they knew how awesome Fang Yi was, too.
Fang Yi was not a simple person, as he was able to hold the number one position in the Dragon-Phoenix Record for so many years.
“If Mu Chen manages to get out of the duel unscathed, he will be famous among the younger generation in North Territory,” Lord Blood Hawk said. Mu Chen had risen too quickly in North Territory, and this had brought doubt to the people watching. Many of them had attributed his performance to the daughter of the Flame Emperor. They were still contemplating his number three ranking in the Dragon-Phoenix Record.
This duel would remove all doubts about his ability.
At the same time, there were some risks. If he were to be defeated by Fang Yi, he would fall from his position, and that would be the end of his future.
No one would remember a loser in the cruel world of the North Territory.
Boom!
Majestic spiritual energy thundered and whizzed around Fang Yi like a sea. The whole area seemed to be quaking.
Mu Chen turned grave. When they were in the Dragon-Phoenix Rift, he had only seen how badly Fang Yi had been beaten by Cai Xiao. It was only now that Fang Yi was standing before him that he could feel the oppression emanating from him.
