Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 81: The Two Number Ones Should Go Together

"Who is this person?"

"Not sure, seems like he just came over with the Pavilion Master?"

As Pavilion Master Mo, his every action was closely observed by those around him. When he turned to look at Zhang Hao, everyone else subconsciously followed his gaze.

They quickly saw Zhang Hao emerge from the crowd and, with a leap, arrive above the fighting stage.

He stood there silently, stepping in front of Mo Wangchen, and with a casual glance towards Fang Jin and Yuan Hong, he said, "I’ll play with you guys. I don’t mind if both of you come at me together."

"What?!"

His words surprised not only Fang Jin and the two of them but also all of the disciples from the Star Wing Pavilion below.

These were two powerful fighters from the Spirit Transformation Realm, both attacking at once?

Just who was this person? A friend of the Pavilion Master?

Such arrogance...

"Hmm?!"

Fang Jin frowned, squinting at Zhang Hao. Even though Zhang Hao had expertly concealed his aura, Fang Jin could tell at a glance that this man was also a master of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and his strength was no less than his own!

Who among those present didn’t know that he and Yuan Hong were disciples from the Inner Court with Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation? Yet this man had the audacity to suggest they both attack together, unmistakably proving that he had both the confidence and the absolute strength to back it up!

"Who are you?"

Fang Jin was almost certain he had never seen this man in the Inner Court. With the man’s level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to be a mere disciple of the Outer Court!

Then, suddenly, Fang Jin noticed the Youlong Sword in Zhang Hao’s hand. His eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you Zhang Hao?"

Recently, there had been reports in the Inner Court that Zhang Hao, the second most talented individual under twenty in Yun Country and only second to Jun Muqing in talent, had joined the Inner Court of Yun Chu Academy.

Zhang Hao was a swordsman; though his cultivation was only at the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, his strength was formidable. It was heard that even Lu Hui, who was at the second level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, had been defeated by Zhang Hao!

Fang Jin was well aware that his own strength was weaker than Lu Hui’s...

So after guessing Zhang Hao’s identity, a look of wariness appeared in his eyes, and he was surprised. Zhang Hao had a connection with the Mo Pavilion, he knew Mo Wangchen?

"Zhang Hao?"

"Could it be the Young Master of the Zhang Family from Jianye City?"

"That genius who is second only to Jun Muqing in talent, in the entire Yun Country, under twenty years old?!"

Fang Jin’s words were like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through the crowd the moment they heard them. The area around the stage erupted into a buzz of excitement.

Every disciple from Mo Pavilion displayed exhilaration on their faces; they had not expected their Pavilion Master to know Zhang Hao!

Moreover, now that Zhang Hao had stepped forward to stand up for Mo Pavilion, it was likely that his relationship with Mo Wangchen was far from simple...

"When did he get so close with Zhang Hao..."

Mo Cheng furrowed his brow, his face filled with confusion. During the Pavilion’s founding day, Mo Wangchen had appeared with Zhang Hao, and even then Mo Cheng was puzzled. Previously, one was the notorious playboy of Fangtian City and the other was the top talent from Jianye City. Zhang Hao, well-known throughout Yun Country, seemed an unlikely associate for Mo Wangchen – these two were poles apart!

Upon learning of Zhang Hao’s identity, the atmosphere on the stage suddenly became rather strange.

Wary looks filled the eyes of Fang Jin and his companion; naturally, they dared not clash with Zhang Hao. Yet, they had not expected that they, who had been invited by Star Wing Pavilion to dominate the event, would now be completely subdued by the other party...

Swoosh!

Suddenly, below the fighting stage, Xiang Fei leaped up. He too had seen that Fang Jin and the other were stuck in an awkward predicament.

"Heh heh, who would’ve thought Pavilion Master Mo actually knows Brother Zhang Hao, truly surprising."

Xiang Fei spoke, then went on to give Zhang Hao a cupped-fist salute, "Brother Zhang Hao, this matter concerns our Star Wing Pavilion and Mo Pavilion. Our Pavilion Master, Jun Yao, is Jun Muqing’s cousin. I hope you’ll give our Star Wing Pavilion some face and step down, how about it?"

"Face?"

Zhang Hao laughed, "Even if Jun Muqing stands before me, I might not necessarily grant him face. And what is your Star Wing Pavilion to me?"

What a joke. The issue between Mo Wangchen and Jun Muqing, others might not know, but Zhang Hao was very clear.

"You!"

Hearing this, Xiang Fei’s smile instantly froze as he sneered, "Brother Zhang Hao, you’ve just entered the Inner Court. If you don’t know how to hold back a little, I’m afraid you might suffer in the future."

These words indicated the attitude of Star Wing Pavilion. Although currently, considering Zhang Hao’s strength, Xiang Fei did not dare to do anything to him, but if it really came to it, Star Wing Pavilion also had numerous connections within the Inner Court. How could a mere Zhang Hao, a talent who hasn’t fully grown yet, make Star Wing Pavilion bow?

"How I conduct myself in the Inner Court is none of your business, and moreover..."

Zhang Hao spoke and then a flash of cold light appeared in his eyes, "Do you know the consequences of threatening me?"

In his hand, the Youlong Sword was slightly lifted; he grabbed the sword handle with one hand, and a terrifying sharp aura burst forth from him, making everyone present catch their breath.

Xiang Fei’s complexion changed, he had not expected Zhang Hao to be so arrogant, not giving Star Wing Pavilion any face. However, at this moment, feeling the terrifying aura from Zhang Hao, he couldn’t help but take a step back, his eyes filled with wariness.

Just as Zhang Hao was about to draw his sword, Mo Wangchen stopped him with a hand and shook his head at Zhang Hao, signaling him not to be impulsive.

After that, Mo Wangchen looked coolly at Xiang Fei, "This indeed concerns our Mo Pavilion and your Star Wing Pavilion. I never planned to involve others. I just want to tell you that, in the Inner Court, my Mo Pavilion also has connections."

"Hmph!"

Xiang Fei let out a cold snort, "In that case, does Pavilion Master Mo dare to accept my challenge?"

Mo Wangchen didn’t speak. After a moment, he said indifferently, "As you can see, my cultivation is only at the third layer of the Vein Condensation Realm. Defeating Fang Jie was already my limit. Your strength surpasses his, and I have no chance of victory in a fight with you."

"If you wish to fight me, at the ninth layer of the Vein Condensation Realm, winning won’t give you any honor. Do you dare to make a wager with me?"

"A wager? What are we betting on?" asked Xiang Fei, frowning.

"Ten days from now, you and I will have a contest here. Whoever loses has to kneel and kowtow three times!" said Mo Wangchen.

"Ten days from now?!"

Hearing his words, Xiang Fei paused for a moment, and then a cold smile appeared on his face, "Are you sure?"

He also knew that Mo Wangchen was trying to delay for time, but what of it?

Xiang Fei didn’t believe that in a mere ten days, his opponent could gain the strength to match his own; that would be a joke.

"See you in ten days."

Mo Wangchen didn’t want to waste more words. With that said, he walked off the stage with Zhang Hao and Niu Feng.

In fact, he knew that he currently wasn’t a match for Xiang Fei, but Mo Wangchen was confident. Possessing the Heavenly Dao Body, and with the aid of Qi Gathering Pills and the Artifact Refining Tower, exceeding Xiang Fei’s strength in ten days was not difficult.

Especially now, he had already reached the peak of the third layer of the Vein Condensation Realm; reaching the fourth layer wouldn’t be long!
